A MODERN STORY ABOUT AN ANCIENT ORDER
An interview with Patrick Cain
Q) What is the "Brotherhood of the Sun"?
A) The world’s oldest and most powerful secret society. "Brotherhood of the Sun" is a metaphor for the hierarchy of humanity - the behind-the-scenes directors of world affairs. They were the original architects of civilization. The first sorcerers, scientists and sun worshipers - like Emperor Constantine, who was chief priest of the Sol Invictus - Invincible Sun - cult.
Q) What’s the central premise of your book?
A) There’s nothing new under the sun. More specifically, human nature hasn’t changed. Which is why history repeats. Although civilization has advanced technologically, it hasn’t evolved socially, spiritually. Even though we like to believe so.
Q) Tell us a little about the story.
A) The plot involves a maverick professor and student underground discovering the Brotherhood’s existence and exposing its secrets. Ironically, it backfires because society can’t handle the truth. Which makes for a great twist at the end.
Q) What secrets? What truth?
A) The true origin of religion and mythical foundation of civilization.
Q) Where did religion originate?
A) It’s a misbegotten offspring of science - namely, stellar science. Celestial navigation was the original form of divine guidance and heavenly knowledge. But once the scientific basis was lost studying the stars degenerated into a system of superstition. Speculative arts and cosmic cults were born. Stargazing took on a whole new meaning. Scientific instruments became religious icons.
Q) For instance?
A) The Christian and Celtic crosses came from the Cross-staff and Astrolabe, which were astronomical measuring devices. Celestial instrumentation enabled ancient astronomers to calculate the cosmos and neolithic sailors to circumnavigate the globe. Archaeoastronomical sites, like Stonehenge and the Pyramids, were part of a global navigational network. Giza was the prime Meridian.
Q) What about Jesus Christ and Christianity, where do they fit into the picture?
A) Just as the Brahman priesthood created the Chrishna legend, the Roman aristocracy concocted the Christ myth - to consolidate power and unify the Empire. Both solar caricatures’ birthdays fall on December 25th - right around the winter solstice. Christ coincidentally returns from the dead around Easter time, around the spring equinox, when life returns from its dormant state.
Q) Are you saying the Gospel is a fable?
A) The Gospel Story is an astronomical tale - interspersed with pseudo-history and gnostic teachings. The twelve disciples of Christ and twelve tribes of Israel represent the twelve signs of the Zodiac. The Lion of the tribe of Judah corresponds to Leo the Lion. "Israel" is actually an astrotheological designation. "Is" represents Isis, the moon goddess. "Ra" was the Egyptian sun god. And "El," from the Hebrew El-elyon and Elohim, stood for the sun and stars. "Is-Ra-El" originally represented those who worshipped the Sun, Moon and Stars - all the hosts of heaven, the stellar sources of life.
Q) What about the Bible?
A) It’s basically a Sun Book - Helios Biblios. Ezekiel’s vision of a "wheel within a wheel" was a planisphere or astrolabe surrounded by creatures of the Zodiac. The "vile abominations" that Ezekiel saw the elders of Israel committing was making astrological charts and casting horoscopes. It’s all astronomical science transformed into religious superstition.
Q) What about western civilization?
A) The Roman Empire descended from Rama’s Empire. Rome was founded on Rama’s birthday - in April, 753BC.
Q) And America?
A) Plato’s Republic inspired Bacon’s Atlantis, which, along with Virgil’s Aeneid, became America’s blueprint. DC is a Masonic haven, replete with esoteric architecture and zodiacal symbolism.
Q) Weren’t America’s Founders, Masons?
A) Most were. The principle players, like Franklin and Washington, were Masters Masons. The Masons initiated colonial rebellion, guided the Revolution, crafted the Constitution and designed DC.
Q) What is Masonry?
A) Another solar sect. Both Masonry and Christianity descended from Druidic sun worship. One evolved into a crude religion - the other, into a refined philosophy with esoteric overtones.
Q) What do you think America’s future holds?
A) The same fate as all empires - inevitable decline then collapse. But ultimately, morphing into another, hopefully wiser, solar society.
