Cathari came from the word (in Greek) katharos, meaning "pure".
Catharism was in fact and still is, a form of early Christianity!
The Cathari were of many different backgrounds. They lived in Spain, Italy, France, Bulgaria, Albania, etc.
The Cathari, just as the Essenes, abandoned the false teaching that God was a vengeful God as portrayed in the Old Testament.
They believed in Reincarnation, as do the early Essene Christians.
Pope Innocent III decided in the name of the church, that all Cathari should be burned at the stake for heresy.
Over one million Cathari
In the highest levels of reality there cannot be more than one Absolute Being God.
The Cathari were dualistic but they never accepted that matter or the material world as "evil" as many Gnostics.
Sun worship was spread throughout the world before 100 BC. It died down around 100 BC, due in part to the Roman influence and that of Christianity.
Common sense pretty much shows that being reborn again has nothing to do with going into a coffin.
S&B do not swear allegiance to Christ or to Buddha, or Brahma,
At the Grove, the ritual that some say is to “Moloch”, is not correct. The Cremation of Care could be called "Moloch" over the Owl.
Horus is rising in the sky high above the pyramid; the eye of Horus is the all-seeing eye
Horus' symbol is that of an Owl. [/quiote]
I'll agree that any bird might as well be Horus, but I wouldn't say that the Owl is 'strongly' his symbol, its merely a bird, and he's a Falcon, so we can say that in the transmission of ideas he might as well be an owl in other parts of the world, but its improper to say that Horsu's symbol is an Owl, its not, its a Falcon. Also, what makes the owl more a symbol of Horus than any other bird god who is not horus?
(its hidden on the 1 dollar bill)
There's actually some debate over this, and if you look at a close up of the detial it doesn't look quite so much like an owl and some have remarked that it looks like a spider, keeping in the theme of the 'webby' background.
How so? They don't seemed to have had any culture that was distinct from that of the catholics who lived around them at the time. True enough, their theology was different.
Yes, but why does this connect them to a jewish sect that existed nearly 1100 years before they existed? I don't think that the essenes were dualists either, which is what the cathars proper were.
THe problem with this idea is that dualism in christianity postdates monotheism, the dualist groups come up later than the 'mainstream' groups and in more remote locations (like egypt). Also, the early christian community, including the people who were students of students of the apostles themselves, weren't dualists, so far that I've ever heard. There's a reason why dualists like the cathars were called manicheans, because they were thought to be a fusion of pre-christian and eastern ideas on dualism and christianity.
? They beleived in the sacrifice of jesus on the cross as destroying sin, and their bible included the old testament. I've not seen anything that said that the god of the old testament was meaningless. Also, the cathars, like most dualists, beleived that there were two super gods, one that is beyond everything, and one that created the world, who is more or less the 'bad guy'.
Where is the evidence for this? I am not very familiar with the essenes, but where is this said, and the cathars, I don't recall them having reincarnation as part of their worship. Keep in mind that lots of the peopel normally thought of as Cathar or albingensian were never refered to as such in their own time. The Cathars are a very specific group.
When did he do this? He went to war with the leaders of the cathar heresy and their political supporters, but in what papal bull did he state this?
: Over one million Cathari
Where are you getting this figure from?
Not according to the cathars and other dualists.
They even went so far as to suggest that people not have children, as this is just a way of trapping souls in crude and low matter.
Death, rebirth, rebirth, death, its a cycle, dying into birth, being born into death. Coming out of a coffin would be a rather strong affirmation of being reborn.
: Horus is rising in the sky high above the pyramid; the eye of Horus is the all-seeing eye.
THis is simply an interpretation. The All Seeing Eye is also seen as a symbol of god, not horus.
I'll agree that any bird might as well be Horus, but I wouldn't say that the Owl is 'strongly' his symbol, its merely a bird, and he's a Falcon, so we can say that in the transmission of ideas he might as well be an owl in other parts of the world, but its improper to say that Horus’s symbol is an Owl, its not, its a Falcon.

I had many Cayce paperbacks before the sale, BUT in the collection there were many original type-written folders af all his work spelling errors and all from Virginia Beach.
I tried to contain my excitement, as it was metaphysical heaven..
So, I asked the wife what she wanted for this manna, she said 'make me an offer' I got all the precious books and there were many more teachers besides him, but the Cayce find was awesome for 20 dollars.
Also another tidbit of information, Cayce was born on the same day as Hall-March 18th..
I am grateful to RR for giving us a good place to share..

Siriuslyone, what a treasure to have found original manuscripts amongst many of the books and other writings; incredible!
And from the link you provided: Manly had this to say:
“Mr Bragdon,” answered Mr. Hall quickly, unhesitatingly, and with a simultaneous flash of smile in his eyes and on his lips, “you are an occult philosopher. You know that it is easier to know things than to know how one knows those things.”
Now one should ponder the significance of what he was saying. Mr. Hall was nothing less than an enlightened soul and just as Beethoven knew how to manifest such incredible music, he could not explain how he did it (when people asked) – but he simply did it.

Let's say everything you suggest is more or less accurate. It all sounds like, at best, "interesting history" to me.
Ok. But do you really have to look any farther than your nose to realize this?

Many wish to know more about the elusive Great White Brotherhood and researchers will try to connect them through various bloodlines and cultures, they will attempt to find a starting and ending for the organization called the Great White Brotherhood. Yet, they ignore the most important concept of the GWB. The GWB was never an organization as such and thus they have no real hierarchy or bloodline to trace.
What we can trace is the level of consciousness certain people have reached and thus their level of understanding. Researchers run into much trouble trying to connect all the dots because they seem to blur under the atrophies of time and reincarnation plays a huge role, rather than mere family blood. Thus much of the GWB are not blood related but rather familiar souls.
They are not immortals (that is the theosophists opinion again) but they are advanced souls who remember their past lives and are masters of materialization and dematerialization. They were amongst the early founding fathers and have influenced positive growth and brotherly love. Certain evil elements have attempted to impersonate them and thus a truth seeker must improve upon their skills of observation in order to know the imposters from the real.
Basically, the first wavers of “Lilith” were angels that descended into gross matter. The first wavers into the earth were of all sorts of creations (part animals and other strange creatures like the Unicorn, mermaid etc) and they were also the Giants and midgets in the earth. The Nephilim or annukai were the offspring of the daughters of man or the first wavers with the Adams. They were called human-animals and were easily controlled by the evil Son’s of Belial.
The first Adam was hermaphroditic and lived in an ethereal world. Not material, but the etheric double of the planet earth. The first wavers or "Lilith”, that creature that evolved over millions and millions of years to provide for the Adams the (serpent) or sex desires, was evenutally replaced by Eve.
Direct teachings of the Great White Brotherhood were known as the Logos was with Thoth and Amilius was the First Adam who projected himself into the material earth as hermaphrodite man 10.5 million years ago.
I learned only of Thoth's flying craft from the writings of Cayce and you can get much of this on the internet for free also! Thoth was an Atlantian who brought the human-animals to Egypt, finally freeing with the help of many others. When he came into Egypt the peoples became influenced by the incredible advancements and erected the pyramids as healing and spiritual temples. They were never meant to act as tombs – as that came later on. Thoth was of the highest level of Christ Consciousness and just one of what we the Great White Brotherhood. He was able to control the 4 types of ether and could travel noetically or within the (5 dimensional worlds).
The reptilians’ race may have originated from the Chakras vision or 3’rd eye.
But when researchers like David Icke say they were reptiles, why do people laugh? David is close except that he does not yet realize that the clairvoyants see the Son’s of Belial as shaft shifting like and reptilian like. Not with their material eyes but the 3’rd eye they can notice this at times.
Regarding the earth changes, I have a major interest in this particular area, as we can see the effects playing out before us. I do not see the Mayan calendar as the be-all and end-all as many do. Also, the ending date of the Mayan calendar is supposedly 2010-2012 which I pay no particular attention to.
Simply put, the pole shifting will result in the destruction of much of the world superpowers. The Zodiacal connection is immense as, the zodiac is the sun’s connection to the heavens in the trinity of the macrocosmic, mesocosmic and microcosmic. The 12 signs are just as the 12 Apostle of Jesus. Some researchers have gone so far as to imply there was no man names Jesus, as they imply the 12 Apostles to Jesus and also that Christmas is the birth date of Horus etc. However, they fail to realize that Jesus had hundreds of Apostles, and the Church of Rome was adamant about denying the divinity of the God-man.

Nephilim were in the Earth but it is translated into English,incorrectly some say,as "giants" were in the Earth. The other meaning of Nephilim is "those who came down". Which makes more sense in my opinion than giants. Particularly since if there were giant people walking around you'd think there'd be some mention of them aside from that one passage. Whereas there are numerous passages mentioning beings coming down.

An interesting perspective on the word “Illumine”, as we in fact derive many words from this meaning of early enlightenment. The word for a graduate of school, or “Alumni” is but one. You also become an El-der. We get to El-ect our leaders, who get EL-ected etc.
I don't think this is correct. The Illuminati were of higher rank than the others of the Brotherhood. And the Brotherhood,as the Great White Brotherhood,appears to have very traceable roots. The body that they were a manifestation of may not have however. The Great White Brotherhood I'm sure was a splinter or branch of a preceeding group. Namely the Brotherhood of the Snake/Illuminati.
It's believed by some that this body had already been corrupted and it's knowledge perverted by evil elements by the time it became the group sometimes called the Great White Brotherhood. Given that the earliest mention of the GWB form of this group I've seen is circa 2,000 BC,chronologically that would be the case. An example cited of the perversions already having taken place was the GWB's teaching of mummification. Some believe the original teachings of how to preserve one's self got twisted into mummification,the preservation of one's physical shell.
According to the ancient writings the Annunaki were who created Adam(Adamu) in the first place. They were not the offspring of humans. The Nephilim were the Annunaki that had been cast or stationed on Earth. The giants spoken of in the Bible are the King James translation of the word "nephilim". Nephilim were in the Earth but it is translated into English,incorrectly some say,as "giants" were in the Earth. The other meaning of Nephilim is "those who came down". Which makes more sense in my opinion than giants. Particularly since if there were giant people walking around you'd think there'd be some mention of them aside from that one passage. Whereas there are numerous passages mentioning beings coming down.
Where is this figure coming from? The Mesopotamian account places the creation of Man much earlier than that and archeaology supports those time periods given. But these periods are only thousands of years ago.
According to Mesopotamian history Thoth was the son of Enki(creator of Man and chief scientist,technician,and doctor of the Annunaki) who was taught all of his father's knowledge. He was primarily a healer and was represented with his father's emblem,the Brotherhood of the Snake symbol:two entwined serpents around a winged staff;the symbol to this day of the medical profession. This would explain his flying craft since those are the vehicles the Annunaki used.
It's my understanding that 2012 is an astronomically known date of vast cosmic occurence. I don't know what's going to happen but apparently something big will.

I wonder if these high rank Illuminati are the original Son’s of Belial of Atlantis – or wicked magicians evolving through various Manichean sects etc. Researchers such as Franz Springmier even place the GWB at the very top of the Illuminati pyramid, if I remember correctly?
The Brotherhood of the Snake was supposedly the cabal of Luciferians who brought forth or rather revised the original “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, or as some researchers claim the “Protocols of the Synagogue of Satan”. Researchers like Edward Griffin believe the Protocols are a forgery - but I wonder if there was an original version – may be the Talmud itself? What is your take/understanding on the Protocols?
I read of another group called the “Black Brotherhood”. Loungerist, do you think these evil elements have been upholding the age-old Babylonian Talmudic doctrines and what does your research reveal regarding the possibility of a Black Brotherhood?
Great point on the mummification also! In fact, my own research reveals that this practice was not acceptable to many of the Pharisees and the Egyptians were of many different peoples – the Pharisees (who knew more) and the people who followed the rulers and culture of the day.
Lucifer is the archangel of the Earth and Atlantian’s may have referred to the first wavers as “Lucifers” also. In the Bible when God said, “Let us create man in our image/likeness” he may have been speaking to the Archangel orders, which created the Universe, rather than the Annukai.
But you have a good point, as may be Nephilim and Annukai are very different concepts altogether and need to be kept separate from each other.
The first wavers (or Lucifers) represent those first Monstrosities that came here Millions of years before the Adams or Eve’s. But these thought-forms included the unicorns and other strange combinations of myth. When the Adam’s came to Earth 10.5 million years BC, some Adam’s started mating with the Lilith’s and this created Monstrosities like Giants and midgets etc. But there were much more than Giants and Midgets, based on the Atlantian text I’ve read.
I thought that science supported the 10.5 millions years but had a period before then (or a missing link) connecting the Adams to the earlier primates. There is no missing link, based on my research – man was created instantly as pure thought will-pleasure into this material world.
Could these two snakes or serpents represent either the water DNA, or that sex desire? The serpent is often referred to as sex desires representing both male and female separation.

Angels and the Annunaki could easily be one in the same. Zecharia Sitchin offers that the word translated as "God" in the Bible also means gods,like how "deer" is both plural and singular.
