Who Wrote the Bible and Why?<br />

The Ark of the Covenant and the Temple of Solomon<br />

When considering the idea of the god “dancing all night” in the round temple of<br />

the Hyperboreans, our mind naturally turns to that most remarkable of incidents in<br />

the Bible where David danced before the Ark of the Covenant - in his underwear,<br />

no less! Another curious item is the fact that there is a tableaux on one of the<br />

porches of the Chartres Cathedral of Melchizedek, the “king-priest of Salem”, and<br />

the Queen of Sheba. Equidistant between them is the Ark of the Covenant in a<br />

cart. Melchizedek is holding a cup that is supposed to be the Holy Grail. Inside<br />

this cup is a cylindrical object of stone. Of course, one wonders what Melchizedek<br />

is doing with the Queen of Sheba who is supposed to be contemporary with<br />

Solomon, but there are many mysteries here.<br />

The Ark of the Covenant: that most mysterious and powerful object that we are<br />

led to believe was the object of the Templars sojourn and searches in Jerusalem.<br />

What do we really know about the Ark?<br />

In order to come to any idea about the Ark, we will naturally have to make a<br />

careful examination of the religious structure in which it is situated: Judaism.<br />

When I began to study the issues that concerned me: religious questions,<br />

philosophical problems, and so on, I really had no idea that I would uncover<br />

something so horrific and far reaching as what I came to realize about religions in<br />

general and monotheism in particular. Please don’t misunderstand me or think that<br />

I am promoting paganism or any other form of worship of “gods” or images of<br />

god. I am quite convinced that the source of all existence is consciousness, and<br />

that this consciousness is, at its root, what we would call God, or Divine Mind.<br />

What we are concerned about here is the imposition of monotheism in the form of<br />

any one group claiming that their version of who or what god is or is not is the<br />

only correct one. And the further result of this is that Judeo-Christian monotheism<br />

prevailed with its twisted conception of linear time borrowed from Zoroastrianism.<br />

People have been reading the Bible for ages. It has achieved a status in our<br />

culture assigned to no other single body of text. There are more copies of the Bible<br />

on the face of the planet than any other single book. It is quoted (and misquoted)<br />

more often than any other book. It is translated into more languages than any other<br />

book ever written as well. More people in recorded history have read it, studied it,<br />

taught it, admired it, argued about it, loved it, lived by it, and killed and died for it.<br />

It is the singular document at the heart of Judaism and Christianity, and yet the
