The books that made it into the Bible were essentially decided by Constantine. In the 300 years after Jesus hundreds of factions of Christians had arisen in the countries surrounding the Eastern Mediterranean. They were all a bunch of freedom loving rabble rousers who spent a lot of their free time debating power, corruption and divinity. Consequently, they posed a big threat to Constantine's power. Then his wife converted to Christianity.

He gathered Iraneus and some other guy who both proclaimed themselves to be bishops and had them organize the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. They called for a gathering of the followers of Jesus (who did not call themselves Christian) and hammered out what, of the many hundreds of books that existed at that time, would be included and what would not be included. They essentially excluded any books that promoted freedom and mysticism and included books that left the door open to the institutionalization of the church and the centralization of power. The latter became the Roman Catholic church, the book became the Bible and the religion became known as Christianity. I'm sure all of it would make Jesus gag today.

Constantine then gave those two Bishops some crack troops and they rode all across the region to destroy any remaining books from those rabble rousing early "Christians". That's why both the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hamadi Scripts were hidden in caves. The latter are the most mystical (Gnostic), which the Catholic church has always despised because they point out that no institution is needed to find God.

I see you and I and many of our readers as the modern day version of Jesus's rabble rousing early church.

You are correct. This is a spiritual war. I have come to believe that they have destroyed so much evidence (of the many times highly technological civilizations have risen and fallen) to prevent us from knowing that this is a prison of souls. Perhaps we cannot ascend past it, unless/until we (our avatars/bodies/vehicles) truly understand our true history? Maybe we keep getting recycled before we understand?

And the genetic manipulation is not new. Maybe our vehicles were previously genetically engineered (this isn't the first time) in order to make sure our avatars wouldn't live long enough to benefit from whatever knowledge we could acquire? Each recycling comes with a memory wipe, or perhaps these vehicles require this, in order to operate? Either way, it seems most of us have been here before, but very few remember.

God, tell me why youth wasted is on the young? And whom amongst us who manages to grow old, doesn't say "If only I'd understood this when I was young" ???

"Ascension: What is it EXACTLY? Is it the state where our soul no longer misses the experience and challenge of this physical density? Or is it when we go on to create with mere thoughts, that which we desire, no longer needing a reason, other than that it pleases us? Whatever the truth is, it is intentionally kept hidden. But it seems it's gotten much harder to hide it from us lately.

I once had a dream/vision of being gone from this world, and being able to instantly create anything at all from a thought. I was not longer the character/person. Just an energy that wanted to create. Soon I became bored of it, and wished only for the physical experience of that which I had created. I came to understand quickly, that I would need a BODY to feel emotions about what I had created. I missed my emotions, or at least I did notice they were now gone. So I sought out others.

I saw multitudes there, and for some strange reason I was aware of them all (who they all were) simultaneously. Some had a mild interest in me, those that had known me in this life, and the rest were simply "communing" or "conferring" about something I could not comprehend. I saw my mother. She glanced over and acknowledged me, but she was no longer in the "role" of my mother in this place. There was no "missing" anyone in particular. When I woke up my head felt like it was going to explode and I was sweating, unable to process all that I had seen. It took about an hour or so for me to start dismissing it all as merely a dream so that I could get on with my day. But it never left me.
