“The world’s ancient myths, scriptures and sacred stories can be shown to be built upon a common system of celestial metaphor” – David Mathisen
This video explores one of the most important aspects of the celestial foundation of the world’s ancient sacred mythologies and scriptures: the annual cycle delineated by the solstices & equinoxes, and subdivided further by the great circle of the zodiac wheel.
This video illustrates the celestial mechanics which cause the “background stars” to cycle through Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo and the rest . . . and then shows that the zodiac wheel created by this heavenly motion underlies the Easter story in the New Testament scriptures, and what it might mean.
Ultimately, the great circle and its cross of solstices and equinoxes can be seen materializing in different forms in virtually every myth and sacred tradition around our planet — in order to convey the same message of profound ancient knowledge about the nature of human life in this material-spiritual universe, entrusted to humanity as an ancient treasure in the precious esoteric allegories that animate the mythology of the world . . .

“Bible stories are in no sense a record of what happened to a man or a people as historical occurrence. As such they would have little significance for mankind. They would be the experience of people not ourselves, and would not bear a relation to our life. But they are a record, under pictorial forms, of that which is ever occurring as a reality of the present in all lives. They mean nothing as outward events; but they mean everything as picturizations of that which is our living experience at all times. The actors are not old kings, priests and warriors; the one actor in every portrayal, in every scene, is the human soul. The Bible is the drama of our history here and now; and it is not apprehended in its full force and applicability until every reader discerns himself [or herself] to be the central figure in it! The Bible is about the mystery of human life. Instead of relating to the incidents of a remote epoch in temporal history, it deals with the reality of the living present in the life of every soul on earth.”
— Alvin Boyd Kuhn, “The Stable and the Manger”

The world’s ancient myths, scriptures and sacred stories can be shown to be built upon a common system of celestial metaphor. This video explores some of the evidence to support that assertion, and some of the possible reasons that the ancient wisdom of the world is given to us in this manner.
