LOSING my RELIGION
The author of this body of work, Berno Salmon, does not belong to any secret society and neither has he joined or committed to any kind of mystery school or hidden tradition. Therefore he has not taken a vow of silence to protect the knowledge he has discovered over the past 25 years. The author also do not belong to any Christian denomination even though he was raised in two different kinds. In fact, B went to church on both a Saturday, Seventh Day Adventist, and a Sunday, Dutch Reformed. Because of the cult-like nature of both brands, he had to study the Bible basically from birth.
Although both are Protestant denominations they could not be further apart in their beliefs and interpretation of scripture. This dynamic gave B a really good opportunity to understand the different teachings and perspectives not only on the laws and regulations but also on prophecies and visions. As soon as B had turned 18 and was able to choose his own path, he chose to become a child of Eve. Against all warnings and threats of eternal damnation, B decided to eat from the Tree of Knowledge and discover for himself what God actually was or was not.
This could only be achieved without having any preconceived idea to either prove or disprove the existence of God. The only thing B had ever been taught about God came directly from the Bible, which left him feeling confused. Confused because he did not relate to this God. Not because he wasn’t spiritual or interested in religion, he just could not submit to an ideology he did not believe in. Something incredibly difficult to do when a persons entire culture, family and everything around them is orientated towards this God and this God only. It’s lonely and disheartening. A feeling many millions of others around the world can relate to. And this feeling spurred B on to take the first steps towards liberating himself from his condition and discovering the truth first hand, no matter what that might be.
GAINING my SOUL
During the past 25 years of searching, B has read many fascinating books and watched some really intriguing documentaries, but he has also worked insanely hard to uncover the vast majority of the information that forms part of this body of work and connected all the dots. And there are many. From studying an enormous amount of ancient myths and history to traveling across the world to far distant lands to engage with a variety of cultures and religions first hand. He has visited numerous of the most ancient and sacred sites on earth and immersed himself in the secret rituals of tribal and indigenous people to expand his heart and mind to it’s very limits.
Although his journey took him to the four corners of the globe, B somehow always returned home to his own people and culture, his own country South Africa. But he returned a different person, someone with experience and knowledge, and it was this knowledge that helped B not only see his city, culture, and country in a new light but also helped him unlock the forbidden secrets hidden deep within the Bible. Everything B thought he knew or understood about the history of his culture, Western civilization and the Bible was turned upside down. By looking at the many churches, buildings, and monuments through new eyes, the secret tradition hidden in plain sight revealed itself to B, and taught him it’s many mysteries. It wasn’t a single person or group that initiated him, but rather the symbols themselves revealed a deeper truth.
A truth hidden in codes and metaphors, secrets discovered by Eve all those many years ago in Eden. Secrets passed down the generations in one form or another, whether in art or architecture, stories or legends, secrets rediscovered by the Knights Templar, and passed on to the Freemasons. The greatest challenge is to discover the true meaning of certain symbols, a challenge made all the more difficult without a guide or mentor. But with enough application, perseverance, and a fair bit of insight and good fortune, a challenge that can, and has been overcome. Nobody said discovering the secrets of the Holy Grail was ever going to be an easy task.
GODdessless
B can not tell you why the Freemasons have chosen to keep these secrets hidden after all this time, why they have chosen not to release the knowledge to the world. At one point in history, it was necessary to protect and preserve the secrets as they would be declared as heretics and potentially tortured and murdered if they were exposed to the authorities. But that time has long passed, especially in the West, where the war has become more focused on ideology, beliefs, fake news, misinformation, propaganda, and character assassination. A world controlled by spin doctors.
Maybe the Freemasons are scared that they will cease to exist and lose their purpose when they are no longer in control of the secrets. Maybe they believe only the worthy are allowed access, worthy being only men and not women. Women can have their own lodges but these are separate from the men’s. It is this very same disregard for women that ultimately prompted B’s search in the first place. He could not believe how submissive most Christian women allowed themselves to be. Justifying their behavior as a virtue, something their husbands would approve of and thereby currying favor with God, whom by the way are three men in one.
No women or Goddess, anywhere to be found. Particularly not in Protestant denominations, at least the Catholic Church included Mother Mary in the equation. An inclusion that helped the Church actually survive and thrive, but also played a huge role in the Reformation, and spilt within Western Christianity. Protestants made it one of their main rallying cries, ridding the Church of Mary’s undue influence. Never mind Mary Magdalene.
Maybe most Masons as with most Christians, Muslims and Jews, will not have any idea about the secrets that will be revealed. It is certainly possible that even they have forgotten the original meaning of the secrets and symbols, or that these mysteries have only been shared with the highest initiates in the Craft. The select few. Maybe it is none of the above. It does not really matter one way or the other.
The only thing that matters is the creation of a bridge between the different Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and the extension of this bridge from religion to science. The way God has been represented and portrayed by mainstream religion which in turn has influenced the scientific perspective of religion is only one very limited understanding of God.
But there is another much more interesting and dynamic perspective that exists. A perspective that includes science and knowledge as key elements in the search for understanding God and existence better, which in turn helps us to become more integrated human beings in the process.
MISSING LINK
This perspective is by no means only restricted to the Abrahamic religions but also includes ideas from ancient Egypt, Sumeria, India, China, Mexico, Greece, and a variety of other cultures and belief systems. In fact, it is a truly universal understanding of God that is thousands of years old, long before the Bible came into being. An understanding that forms the central tenet of the beliefs found in the Bible.
It is just that up this point in time the Bible has been the missing link. The Bible has been set apart from the majority of ancient cultures by people claiming the Word of God to be different, unique, exceptional, and thereby creating a wedge between the God of the Bible and any other perspective on God out there. Which includes having no perspective and being granted the freedom and space to do so.
But what happens if the very same Word of God also contains knowledge and secrets related to science. What then? Is the entire Bible infallible or only certain parts. Will these mysteries be accepted or rejected? Either way, it is going to be fascinating to watch people struggle with these very important questions. A struggle that is necessary for any spiritual growth to occur.
THE HOLY INCONGRUENCE
By successfully decoding the secrets hidden in the Bible, this artificial wedge between cultures can now be removed as an obstacle and rather be used to help construct a bridge between the worlds, a bridge between religions, and a bridge between religion and science.
Numerous Churches and Cathedrals contain symbols and secrets that are incongruent with the traditional explanation of the beliefs found in mainstream Christianity, hinting at an underground tradition found within the faith itself. One could also look at it from a different perspective, mainstream Christianity is in fact incongruent with the original teachings found in the Bible as taught by Jesus and the prophets.
You are invited to join in the exploration of this Holy Incongruence and embark on a modern-day Grail Quest to discover the true meaning of God as understood by the ancient sages throughout the ages. A universal language of numbers and geometry, and the philosophy of light found in most if not all ancient cultures, a language passed down the generations and still spoken to this very day. A Quest that starts with unveiling the reasons for the Crucifiction of Mary Magdalene some 2000 years ago.
This work has by no means been created to ridicule anyone’s faith or personal beliefs, but rather to provide a different perspective on something that has become rigid, uncompromising, and in the process, extremely dangerous and volatile. Unfortunately, some people will be offended and for that, B would like to apologize in advance, it’s not the intent. A clear warning though, for those uncomfortable with the truth, reading this will be excruciatingly painful and disturbing. On the other hand, for those in search of the truth, this work will provide unparalleled insight into the secrets and mysteries of God and the Bible. Everything is literally the opposite of what we have been taught to believe about God. So beware, if you are looking for confirmation of your faith, this work is probably not for you.
Sacred science Of god
It has certainly not been designed to belittle or criticize God, but rather to gain a better understanding of what God actually is, or at least how the ancient sages perceived God to be. A very different perspective than the one found in mainstream religions, in particular the Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The complicated part is that this understanding stems from the Bible itself, it is interwoven into the very pages of scripture. So it’s extremely difficult to ignore and dismiss as something on the outside, something foreign and without authority. It can be found in the actual Word of God.
Now because the Bile is infallible and perfect in all ways, it’s impossible to therefore say it has no validity or authority. It can’t be heretical otherwise the Bible itself contains heretical ideas and beliefs, making it imperfect. The problem stems from interpretation. Or rather from misinterpretation. The stories found in the Bible are interpreted and understood from a very literal point of view by the church fathers. The understanding of symbolism and metaphors is a much more complex subject matter and requires a certain skill set to interpret scripture correctly. This skill set is composed of a thorough grasp of astronomy, geometry, numbers, and mathematics. Without understanding these subjects, the Bible remains a closed Book, only engaged with superficially.
The real content is hidden in codes and symbols. Discovering the meaning of these symbols is the key that unlocks the Bible. And the only way to do that is by letting go of everything we think we know. Everything we have been taught comes up short. It’s similar to the idea of using only a certain percentage of our brain capacity. We only understand a very small percentage of the knowledge that’s found in the Bible. Discovering the missing aspects, the most important parts provide an entirely new and fresh perspective on something that has become stagnant and stale.
When people speak about God, kill in the name of God, do all kinds of stuff on behalf of God, they don’t really know what they are talking about. It sounds harsh, but that’s the truth. The God in people’s minds is not actually the same as the God found in the Bible, that God doesn’t exist, its a figment, an illusion. It’s a Fake God, a small god created in the image of man, to dominate and control the narrative. And this fake god became the real God as portrayed in scripture by those in search of power, not true wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. The small god(man) staged a coup and replaced the original God.
Secret language of light
That’s why the Bible is so confusing, it contains more than one story, more than one thread. And the dominant version, the one we are familiar with, has forced the real story about God underground. That’s why it’s so complex to figure things out. It’s not in the churches highest interest for ordinary people to discover the truth, as this would expose the Emperor as not wearing any clothes. They made a concerted effort to remove any knowledge of the original God from the Bible, hence the reason knowledge of this God was hidden in codes, symbols, and metaphors by those wanting to protect and preserve the teachings. The truth was even hidden from those that compiled the Bible.
Because the church fathers and scribes did not understand the sacred language of symbols, numbers, and geometry, they could not completely remove this alphabet of secrets, and therefore left bits and pieces of information behind in the very same books that curse this knowledge. Secrets and mysteries for others to read, for those initiates that did know how to interpret this language. Secrets, hidden from those wanting to destroy the sacred knowledge of God.
Enough pieces of knowledge can be found to rewrite the official version of the Bible, to be able to correctly interpret the most important and relevant parts. The ones that really matter. One cannot discover something that has been there all along, only become aware of its existence. In that sense, it’s not a new interpretation, but rather the ability to read and correctly discern that which has been in front of us for almost 2000 years. The secrets haven’t been added over time, or because of translation issues. The beliefs are obviously ancient otherwise they would not form the core of the teachings about God, found in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
It’s also not an Old or New Testament thing, the knowledge is spread out over the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelations. Teachings are also found in numerous other cultural and religious interpretations outside the sphere of the Abrahamic Religions. Teachings that speak of a universal understanding of God many thousands of years old, long before the Bible was even written.
Born in a small town outside of Johannesburg, South Africa during the height of Apartheid in 1976, Berno Salmon experienced the brutality, moral bankruptcy and religious fundamentalism of the National Party, from within the system itself. But contrary to his peers and even his own family, who where a mix of predominantly white Afrikaners and English, he openly rebelled against the system from a young age. Every part of his being told him that Apartheid was wrong and that the misuse of the Bible in order to justify the inhuman laws of the state, was ultimately the trigger that made him question his beliefs and those beliefs of the people around him.
A child does not choose their place of birth or their family and for the first few years of their existence is told how the world works, until they are old enough to discern for themselves. Some just blindly accept the condition, particularly if it will benefit them later in life, regardless if that may be at the expense of another, and others don’t. B falls into the latter category.
But as anyone knows, being a salmon swimming upstream against a torrent of hate, prejudice and religious fundamentalism is a rather tiring and tricky act. Luckily for B and tens of millions of other South Africans, a miracle manifested through the release of Nelson Mandela in 1990, after having spent 27 years in prion. It was as unexpected as it was sudden and opened South Africa once again to the world. It also gave B the opportunity he was looking for, to break free from his condition and expand his mind, to explore a diversity of ideas and the world at large.
Uni of life
What B was unaware of at the time, was that he was about to embark on a journey of profound self discovery, a journey to discover the most enigmatic of all western symbols, the Holy Grail. But as an 18 year old, the Holy Grail was not something he thought about, in fact he wanted to get as far away from anything to do with Christianity or the Bible as possible. He wanted something different, something new and in order to truly break free, B decided to suspend his studies as a first year psychology student and let go of a promising career as a professional sportsman. He had an apartment, a car and for extra money worked in a restaurant, as so many millions of other students across the world do. His father warned him that if he gave all of this up, then it would never come around again and that B would have to rely only on himself from that moment forward.
But B was compelled and could not resist the opportunity to study at the university of life. So he sold the few personal items he had and bought a backpack, a pair of hiking boots and a ticket to Israel to work on a kibbutz. As a young South African it was the easiest way to leave the country and find work overseas. B left his friends, his girlfriend, his family and ultimately his culture behind, to forge an entirely new identity, an identity based on first hand experience of life and not mere here say. An identity based on truth, no matter how hard that would be. No matter the cost to his own belief system and conditioning, including his religious upbringing, the most complicated of all human conditions, and also the most dangerous.
Red pill or blue pill
Children are forced to endure their parents and their respective cultures superstitions and fears, they have no say in what they are taught to believe is the truth. A situation billions of young people experience across the world everyday. If they dare follow their own path they are stigmatized, isolated, berated, emotionally manipulated and in worst case scenarios, beaten and even put to death. In some cultures it is subtle, and in others not. The more fundamental the culture, the more complicated for the child.
Some will have the courage to follow their dreams regardless of the consequences and others will always dream about following their dreams. Each persons set of circumstances are different so their is no judgement, but sooner or later every person will have to make a choice, and this choice will define who they will become, and they will literally have to live with themselves for the rest of their lives and most importantly, will have to face the moment of their deaths, either feeling fulfilled or empty, either feeling they have truly lived or be filled with regret and guilt for an opportunity missed.
Totality of being
Genesis Revelations is the body of work sharing the discoveries B has made over the last 25 years since he first left South Africa in 1995. In this time he has travelled to over 40 countries, visited some of the worlds most ancient megalithic sites and religious temples. He has studied most if not all of the ancient scriptures and writings of the worlds varied cultures and religions. B has also explored the natural world in great depth and interacted with some of the last remaining indigenous cultures and peoples on earth. His search has been varied as it has been thorough and he has left no stone unturned in his quest for knowledge, meaning and truth. Needless to say this journey has not always been easy with many pitfalls along the way and sacrifices to be made. But such is the nature of the rabbit hole, the deeper one goes, the more one leaves behind. At times it is a lonely path because so few are wiling to go the distance. But sooner or later the loneliness is replaced by an aloneness, and then an at oneness, a deep feeling of connection and bliss, a feeling of inner peace, gratitude and reverence.
42 answers questioned
For B, and maybe others can relate, the most important aspect of the journey has been to still the mind. Not necessarily in the way of mindfulness meditation or some other practice, but rather by answering the questions occupying his thoughts. Only by finding answers could the deep restlessness be put to rest. Of course B still has many questions left unanswered, because just as a person thinks one knows it all, the next level of experience in the ever expanding spiral of consciousness, reveals that one knows nothing at all, only maybe fragments of the totality of being. Questioning the answers provided by our parents, teachers, peers, priests and politicians is the key to personal freedom. Freedom from condition from mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual bondage.
On a personal level Berno understands that he can only truly focus on the next stage of his own journey, once the current body of knowledge has been shared with others. Maybe the information presented in GR will make someone’s else’s journey not so hard or confusing and will help them answer some questions that have become more and more difficult to find answers to. In today’s fragmented world filled with disinformation, fake news and conspiracy theories on all sides of the religious and political divide, the truth it seems is more elusive than ever.
