On the topic of Christianity, I actually wrote the book on that one. From Paul to Mark is not your typical religious-studies monograph. Itās a hybrid of textual analysis, historical forensics, and mythological deconstructionāa reconstruction of early Christianity stripped of centuries of dogmatic editing. What we know as āChristianityā today is essentially a political and theological fabrication, consolidated over centuries by the Roman Empireās power apparatus. The original teachings (āPaleoChristianityā) were radically different. They were an initiatory, Gnostic-like system focused on direct experience of the divine and the development of the āhigher selfā through knowledgeāgnosis. What makes the book unique is the forensic analysis approach. In writing this book, I used comparative linguistics ā tracing textual mutations and interpolations in scripture. I cross-referenced Pagan, Gnostic, and Jewish literature ā to show the archetypal borrowing from earlier mystery religions. I laid out and analyzed the political context ā situating scriptural evolution within Romeās consolidation of authority after the Jewish revolts. And I applied psychological typology ā viewing religious structures as reflections of social control mechanisms derived from authoritarian personality patterns. I show how every subsequent canonical layer ā especially the creation of Acts and the reediting of Pauline letters ā served to obscure a much more esoteric proto-Christianity involving inner transformation and cosmic understanding. From Paul to Mark reclaims Christianityās lost DNA from beneath 2,000 years of narrative manipulation and empire-building. Itās not an anti-Christian rant; itās a post-institutional recovery projectāChristianity before Rome, before hierarchy, before dogma. Paulās āChrist crucifiedā is the moment when infinite consciousness passes through finite matter, reversing the flow of entropy, healing the cosmos through love, and awakening creation into selfāawareness.
