[Hellblazer 2.1]

---

it will ceased to be esoteric when you get hold of it.

why would you say that?

[patrizekirsten]

would a secret would still be a secret when you know it?

[Hellblazer 2.1]

it would still be a secret to the uninitiated. to an average ordinary person, the secret doctrine book at national bookstore would remain a secret because it has no use for him. unless the person is ready, the esoteric world will always be a secret.

ah ok. .. For instance some of the remarkable events in the Old Testament and New Testament. All happened on the days of the equinoxes and solstices...

Jut like Mithras as a "pre-Christian god" whose attendant mythology closely resembles church legends about Christ. Mithras was a popular deity in ancient Rome, flourishingly especially during the second through the fourth centturies A.D. Mithras was derived fron an older, Middle Eastern god named Mitra or Mithra who was worshipped across Persia and India. Originally, Mithra was a minor deity who served Zoroasterian god Ahura-Mazda.
Mithras was identified with the light of the sun, and was often worshipped along with or as Sol Invictus, the conquering sun, another popular Roman god. Devotion to Mithras was especially widespread among Roman troops and garrisons, where their prolonged stays outside of their home territory exposed them to new ideas and new deities. Mithras was one of the most successful "imported" gods.
The origins of many traditions about Christ and Christian worship practices may be related to the worship of Mithras. The celebration of the winter solstice, the nativity of the sun, which occurred on December 25, was central to Mithra's worship. In many societies, Mithras was reported to be born to a virgin, and was, in some traditions, a member of a holy trinity. Ritual baptism and a last supper legend permeate Mithraic worship. Some scholars believed that the burgeoning Christian faith appropriated the practices and beliefs of Mithraism, allowing the new religion to subsume the old.
