guardians of the “secret” are smart enough to pull attention AWAY from the place to assure protection.<br />

You have plenty of evidence from that which is before you to gain insight of possibilities and then confirm<br />

them by investigation and calculation in another setting. What do I mean herein? Well, if, as it has been<br />

pointed out—the birthplaces and Biblical happenings of the one you call Jesus the Christ and early Judaism<br />

are found to be linked—would it not then be reasonable to check on other possibilities—say, such as<br />

Buddhism, Mohammedism, etc.? I speak now specifically of incidents which would cause ones to think in<br />

possibility of visiting aircraft of some sort. Would you not go to the next case-study wherein there is more<br />

evidence of visitation? But let us not even leave the area of the Middle East so we can cling to the<br />

similarities more closely and continue the line of thought patterns. Let us look at the Islamic religions.<br />

Could we look at some of the results of such investigation? Since the two so-called “religions” are based<br />

on so-called “Christianity”, would it not be worthy to investigate possible mutual linkage of physical points?<br />

Further, might it not show “community” which is unsuspected and give rise to better understanding of why<br />

enemies or diverse religious beliefs (Judaism/Islamic/Christianity) hold to their separation? There IS NO<br />

SUCH THING AS JUDAEO/CHRISTIAN—THE TERMS ARE TOTALLY IN OPPOSITION ONE<br />

TO THE OTHER!<br />

The point is that, in looking, one often finds mutually similar structuring of “religious” sharings which, in fact,<br />

can join groups which appear in separation into great community of merging. THIS IS WHAT THE<br />

ENEMY FEARS WILL HAPPEN FOR AS MAN SEES THAT HE IS IDENTICAL TO HIS<br />

BROTHER—HE AGAIN FALLS INTO LOVE WITH HIS BROTHER AND THIS GIVES<br />

STRENGTH AGAINST WHICH THE ADVERSARY CANNOT PREVAIL. The people of Islamic<br />

belief accepted Jesus as a prophet—just as they do Mahommet (Mohammed); the two faiths could actually<br />

be joined into one all-embracing religious body with almost no change in belief from either side.<br />

The Holy Well, Zamzam, at Mecca, was regarded as a most important religious center long before the<br />

birth of the Prophet. That city was a strong center of Arab worship and from the tribe of Koleish, who held<br />

the most power in the area, came the family of Mahommet. I use this spelling because it is the regional<br />

accepted spelling and pronunciation.<br />

Mahommet was born in A.D. 570 and His name in its original form means: “The Praised”. Not God, not<br />

Messiah, not Christ—”The Praised”. He spent some of his early life as a shepherd and at the age of 25 he<br />

took charge of a trading caravan belonging to a wealthy Koreishite widow named Khadijah. Although the<br />

widow was fifteen years older than Mahommet they eventually married and lived happily together. They<br />

had two sons, who died at a young age, and four daughters, the most famous of whom was Fatima.<br />

It is said that, “Mahommet was possessed by an ideal of truth and righteousness and a stern reprobation of<br />

evil, injustice, and lying, and their certain punishment; together with visions of his own people as designated<br />

by providence to overthrow evil and to preserve true worship at Mecca”.<br />

‘Round about his fortieth year he frequently went into valleys near Mecca to meditate and one of his<br />

favorite places was a cave at the foot of Mount Hira, just north of Mecca. It was here, one night, when he<br />

was engaged in his pious exercises, that the Angel Gabriel came to him as he slept and held a silken scroll<br />

before him and compelled him to recite what was written on it. Another time while he was resting the Angel<br />

Gabriel again appeared to him and said: “Oh thou that art covered, arise and preach and magnify thy<br />

Lord; and purify thy garments, and depart from uncleanliness; and grant not favour to gain increase;<br />

and wait for the Lord.” Sure sounds like the same old friend, Gabriel, to me. That same one<br />

who reflects the red ray of infinity and perhaps bears the banner for the red road of life recognized by the<br />

natives? Could it be that all of you have the truly same God before thee?<br />

Mahommet then frequently began to receive revelations. He began to be disturbed by the visitations and<br />
