[QUOTE="piercethevale, post: 1167145, member: 5785"] I've read that, according to Eusebias, Origen was apparently quite exposed to Gnosticism yet was cautious by declaring Origen wasn't affected by those beliefs and that He even converted Gnostics to orthodox Christianity. Yet, "orthodox" by whose estimation as those large and in charge in Christendom wanted all his writings burned and condemned the man himself? Edgar Cayce was asked as to what sect of Christianity was closest to the teachings of Yeshu'a/Jesus and he replied "The Gnostic". it's a pity He wasn't asked to clarify that answer as there is, or were, by present estimation over 95 different sects of Gnosticism, and I'm not sure how many of those are now extinct. Manicheanism is listed among those and it was once the most widely practiced faith in the world [the "Old World" ] and it was said by Rudolf Steiner that the Arthurian knight, Parsifal, and his mother were Manicheans in faith, and that Parsifals great error was in failing to do the Sun rites of his faith everyday, as to be a big part of the reason He failed in his quest for the 'Holy Grail". Consider that Sigmund Freud deduced that Moses and the Levites were actually the High Priest and the lesser priests of the Aten [or Aton, depending upon how you want to spell it?] faith of Egypt, which is a Sun centered faith [not to mention King Hezikiah of the Hebrews was apparently trying to return to some sort of recognition of the Sun in the faith just prior to their enslavement by the Babylonians, and was heavily admonishing his people for practicing corrupted rites.] Cayce said that the Essenes had been located, isolated and unmolested, in the same location by the Dead Sea since the time of Melchizedek, studying his teachings and that the study of astrology was a big part of those studies, They weren't among the Hebrews captured by Babylon. So it seems that astrology and recognition of the Sun in spiritual rites was a major part of all that Christianity drew from yet the Vatican has done everything it can to try to obfuscate, condemn, and obliterate it. No where in the Old Testament is astrology actually condemned, only the practice of foretelling future events by it, which no one has ever actually done except by mostly luck. The Tanakh actually encourages the use of astrology as so to know when the times are good, or better than others, for certain actions. It doesn't condemn natal astrology, it doesn't even mention it. Thus it wouldn't surprise me at all if Origen was referring to the Zodiac and that his choice of terms [e.g."invisible signs"] referring to it were to avoid the extremes of persecution. They didn't name it "the Dark Ages" for no good reason. [/QUOTE]
