cultures, who shared participation in the
administration of Human affairs on Earth,
were all but extinct. The creativity of the Iron

Age (1300-900 BC) turned to the development
of weapons and tools of combat to aid in the
conquering of less martial civilizations, ill-

equipped to resist the conquest of the Barbarian
tides that swept across the known world.
The Hittites, Aryans, and Israelites, to name

(Moses), the Code of Hammurabi, the Greek
concept of trial by jury, etc., many of which
were created to mitigate the often violent and
bloody “eye for an eye” concept of justice and
vengeance of the age. Toward the end of this

age, dramatically new philosophical teachings
emerged emphasizing the need to replace baser
instincts, like aggression and an ego-driven

desire for power of the mighty, with reason and
self-control. Teachers and philosophers, such
as Confucius, The Buddha, Mithras, the great
Greek philosophers, etc. became the voices of

hanging on a cross, crucified by Humanity,

a savior who opened the gates of Heaven for
those who sought redemption and forgiveness
of “original sin”. The original teachings of

Christianity, pre-Catholicism, and other major
world religions, shifted our collective perspective
