Isn't it just a biiiiiiiiiiig hoax? it was just a bunch of intellectuals trying to trick people into a new fake religion by providing very specific data about angels and plants and whole inter galactic spiritual federation and shit like that.

Pretty sure it was dismissed shortly after and literally no one believes in it.

It's interesting.

>>18878836
Uh, proof of the hoax?

I've never heard that story, but reading the book strikes something deep within me, more so than the Bible or any other religious text.

I don't have any links at hand, because I researched this like what 15 years ago I think. For starters it basically was proved that all the data in it like distances and planetary shit was a reflection of the current astronomical findings at that time, which are now completely obsolete with the new technology that we have.

You can probably find a bunch of stuff easily, I honestly don't care about it enough to do it myself, because you'll find stuff like this, which is half assed debunking, and I'm not doing homework for you, if you want to believe in it that's good, for me it always sounded pretty farfetched and ended up feeling like nothing but sci-fi tale for a new generation that doesn't want to worship old religions.

Today is Paper 172, Monday after 'Palm Sunday'

I suggest you do a quick catch up starting yesterday, and read through pentecost, since its relevant to easter.

I've read it. It's the greatest thing I've ever read. It left me with no questions unanswered.

If you have any questions I can answer from my experience

IM A FUCKIN TRANSPORT SERAPHIM VVVVRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

Some interesting things. The book shows a mastery of english language.

There are location identifiers that come off as Extremely strange at first, but break them down and it makes total sense.

Salvington. Salve to heal, Ing, the action of, ton the town of. That means that Salvington is the town where the healing happens.

Some word applications and revelatory words that we should have thought of.

Absinite, as opposed to Finite and Infinite. Abstaining from time-space.

Okay, I've searched Urania hoax and can't find anything relating to anon's story, so fuck off.

I own the book, but I have yet to read the whole thing. It's just so fucking long.

>>18879968
>The Wikipedia entry mentions that the book plagiarises text from over a dozen verifiable sources

>>18880308
I'm not sure you even tried

>>18880397
yet there is no specifics of what was plagarized.

The book is amazing, if you haven't read it, its like saying Einstein was smart, but he used a lot of other peoples ideas, so he didn't really count and you should discredit him for that.

>>18880411
Are you retarded?

>>18880397
Book identifies plate techtonics, redshift, volcanic actions, race distribution, solar activities, solar cycles, galaxy creation, relativity...

Some of those were active subjects in the day, some werent. The assumption is that if it were a scientist of the day, they were one of the top minds.

The distinct writing styles show that it was multiple different people writing, or personalities. If this is the case, then it was a coordinated effort among the scientific elites of the day. In which case, you should follow it harder.

You're just bitter, and will not be convinced of anything. I forgive you for it.


The term is 'Christphobic'
one who abhors or does not understand jesus and his teachings. one who rationalizes that they have no belief in heaven or hell.
