And now, with the help of all these passages scattered hither and thither in _Isis_ and other works of this kind, the reader will see and judge for himself which of the two explanations—the Christian or that of the Occultist—is the nearer to truth. If Jesus were not an Initiate, why should all these _allegorical_ incidents of his life be given? Why should such extreme trouble be taken, so much time wasted trying to make the above: (_a_) answer and dovetail with purposely picked out sentences in the _Old Testament_, to show them as _prophecies_; and (_b_) to preserve in them the initiatory symbols, the emblems so pregnant with Occult meaning and all of these belonging to Pagan _mystic_ Philosophy? The author of the _Source of Measures_ gives out that _mystical_ intent; but only once now and again, in its one‐sided, numerical and kabalistic meaning, without paying any attention to, or having concern with, the primeval and more spiritual origin, and he deals with it only so far as it relates to the _Old Testament_. He attributes the _purposed_ change in the sentence “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani” to the principle already mentioned of the crossed bones and skull in the Labarum, As an emblem of death, being placed over the door of life and signifying _birth_, or of the intercontainment of two opposite principles in one, just as, mystically, the Saviour was held to be man‐woman.(278) The author’s idea is to show the mystic blending by the Gospel writers of Jehovah, Cain, Abel, etc., with Jesus (in accordance with Jewish kabalistic numeration); the better he succeeds, the more clearly he shows that it was a _forced_ blending, and that we have not a record of the real events of the life of Jesus, narrated by eye‐witnesses or the Apostles. The narrative is all based on the signs of the Zodiac: Each a double sign or male‐female [in ancient astrological Magic]—viz: it was Taurus‐Eve, and Scorpio was Mars‐Lupa, or Mars with the female wolf [in relation to Romulus]. So, as these signs were opposites of each other, yet _met in the centre_, they were connected; and so in fact it was, and in a double sense, the conception of the year was in Taurus, as the conception of Eve by Mars, her opposite, in Scorpio. The birth would be at the winter solstice, or Christmas. On the contrary, by conception in Scorpio—_viz._, of Lupa by Taurus—birth would be in Leo. Scorpio was Chrēstos in _humiliation_, while Leo was Christos in _triumph_. While Taurus‐Eve fulfilled astronomical functions, Mars‐Lupa fulfilled spiritual ones by type.(279) The author bases all this on Egyptian correlations and meanings of Gods and Goddesses, but ignores the Âryan, which are far earlier.
