The Cross
symbol
Jesus on the Cross
is a well known symbol
in the Christian
world.
We have to keep in
mind, that the Cross and
the crucified
Saviour are mentioned in many
ways and in many
religions around the world.
The symbol is not
unique for Christianity.
But it is in
Christianity a main and central symbol.
The Sorrowful God
with pain and suffering is an element of the
Goddess religion
as it existed in Old Europe from
9000BC until
800BC.
Among Christian
scholars there is no unity
about the
structure of the Cross.
The main
discussion is about:
-was the cross
where Jesus died, just a simple
tree trunk,
without a horizontal layer?
-was the cross a T
symbol, with only a horizontal layer
on top of the standing pole?
-was the cross a
complete X symbol,
with the
horizontal layer crossing the
standing pole?
There are also
very good arguments,
that Simon van Cyrene not only carried
the pole of the
Cross,
but took the place
of Jesus on the Cross,
which makes Simon
van Cyrene
a real hero and
friend of Jesus.
It is specially
the newly found Gospel of Judas
that gives a new
light on the death of Jesus.
The divine God the
Child incarnated into the body of his earthly appearance.
By the death of
the earthly appearance
the divine Child
was freed to start the work
of leading the way
into the Heaven.
The people are
called out to start the journey home.

The Goddess
religion of Old Europe has direct connections with ancient Egypt.
In the Goddess
religion the cross was indicating the fullness
of the universe,
the four corners of the Earth.
The cross symbol
can be found in ancient Egypt in a very special way.
When we look
towards the Egyptian ancient religion
we see that the
T-cross was carried by hand.
A circular strip
was meant to hold the T-cross in hand,
hanging down from
the circular hand hold.
The symbol was in
ancient Egyptian also
a
hieroglyph,called the Ankh.
The T-cross
including the circular strip was pictured
everywhere on
temples, on statues, on jewelry.
It is sure, that
the handheld T-cross was
a major symbol in
ancient Egyptian religion.
The Amen temple of
Karnak is not only the largest
temple in the
world, used for 5000 years of worship
to the unvisible
and unknown god Amen,
but is also shaped
as a T-cross.
This is not the
case for any other Egyptian temple.
Maybe a few other
Amen temples have a T-cross shape,
but it is unsure
whether that played a role
in the daily
worship.
In the Amen temple
of Karnak one route of worship
is from West to East, and this is the Hodos
Jesus was pointing
at.
Perpendicular upon
this main axis was
the South-North
axis, a long ceremonial
way, coming from
the Amen temple in Luxor,
through an alley of sphinxes into the Karnak
temple,
going through four
big pylons and
courtyards ending
sideways at the main entrance
of the Amen temple
in Karnak.
The long pole of
the T-cross is the South-North axis
and the horizontal
layer of the T-cross
is then the
West-East axis of the Amen temple.
The T-cross shape
must have been an important part
of the temple
services, because the T-shape route
was part of the
temple from the very first
start of the
construction in the Middle Kingdom.
The conclusion
that the Christian religion is
strongly related
with this Karnak temple.
The T shaped structure
of the routes of processions
along these main
axis were a major and unique
feature of this
temple, dedicated to the
invisible and
unknown creator god Amen.
To the left was
the temple of God the Child Khonsu and to the right
along the cross
was the temple of God the mother Mut.
This is the way
the Invisible Spirit wants itself to be known to us.

Trinity.
