Reads nice, not exactly sure what it means
The Mystery of Time doc, a Buddhism oriented perspective.
The Mystery of Money Creation
A lot of people, myself included, cannot clearly point out what money is, why some people get to create it, why - if it is created from thin air there is so much poverty in the world, etc. (there are answers to all those questions, but, at the end of the day, we have a situation in the world where money does not flow everywhere in order to sustain everyone well) - anyway, a very BIG mystery to solve - the exact nature of money & how to use it to eradicate global poverty. Here is an interesting document, can't attest to its value, but perhaps something that needs to be read - for its perspective, might be useful: The Mystery of Money Creation/Naked Banker.
Egyptian mystery schools - what exactly were they? What, if anything, from them may be useful to us now?
Well, the following items are accepted as accurate:
1 - Egypt did evolve into an advanced society earlier than many of their ancient peers
2 - The so called foundation of western knowledge - the Greeks - gives credit to Egypt as a source of their wisdom
So what did the Egyptians know? Was there something of value there or is it all modern fantasy? I guess much research is needed. Here's one interesting document: Egyptian Mystery Schools.
From the page:
"The Greek philosopher Pythagoras (c. 580– c. 500 B.C.E.) learned the secret doctrine of numbers, the heliocentric system of the universe, music, astrology, astronomy, mathematics, and geometry from the powerful Egyptian Magi. Before he established his own school of philosophy in southern Italy, Pythagoras spent 22 years in the temples of Egypt as an initiate in the ancient mysteries."

Buddhism before the Buddha, Christianity before Jesus
Consider this: Is it possible that the Buddha (believed to have lived around 2500 years ago) was merely the most recent & well known practitioner/wise & skillful teacher of a far more ancient order of wisdom? Yes. Also the same for Jesus & Christianity; what if Jesus (believed to have lived around 2000 years ago) did not invent Christianity but is the latest messenger, the latest famous personality to learn the mysteries of that wisdom school well & practice them & teach them well? Yes, quite possibly. So, could the ancient Egyptians & even older ancestors of ours have known about Buddhism & Christianity - but under different names & with different famous teachers at the center of those wisdom schools/practices? Yes, I think so.
The modern human, being at least 100,000 years old, could have discovered the greatest positive mysteries & secrets that lay within us far earlier than 2500 or so years ago. What we call Buddhism & Christianity today could have been known, under different names, to our ancestors for tens of thousands of years, maybe even 90,000 years or more. Since, unlike modern technological inventions, the heart & soul of the human & positive ways to relate to existence & the universe could have been discovered by any humans like us - any modern humans/humans with our brain capacity & capabilities - who stopped long enough to contemplate themselves & their existence & their world & were capable enough & lucky enough to connect the dots well - as the priest or priests who invented what we now call Buddhism & Christianity did around 2000 - 2500 years or so ago.
Where might we find some clues re: this event, or events, occurring in human history? Stay tuned, the answers are coming.
