The Ancient Tradition

YouTube videos are visual presentations of The Ancient Tradition Podcast.

Have you ever wondered if God/Supreme Being/Demiurge, upon the creation of the earth, revealed to human beings a pure, true, religious tradition? In this podcast we explore the surprising and mind-boggling evidence found in the oldest ancient religious writings, cosmologies, theologies, symbols, sacred architecture, rituals, and myths, pointing to a distinct primordial religious tradition- The Ancient Tradition. We delve into the evidence, examine the patterns, discuss the theology, and contemplate the spiritual implications. It’s a podcast guaranteed to spark discussion, provoke questions, and, hopefully, inspire the pursuit of the divine.

"...we...recognize the perfect accord of the different traditional doctrines, which in reality are only different expressions of the one Truth."

"When such analogies- and they are innumerable- are contemplated, associating the mythologically inspired civilizations of Middle and South America with those of trans-Pacific Asia, the inevitable question arises: Can so many exact correspondences, touching every aspect...have come into being simply as a..."similar constitution of the human mind"? Many think not..."

"It is difficult to read a book like Patterns in Comparative Religion without being impressed by how many of the myths and symbols of so-called "archaic" cultures bear a striking similarity in form or content with the more well-known cycles of myths and symbols of the so-called "higher religions," that is, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism...each religious culture seems to draw from a common fund of symbolic currency."

"It emerges that practically all cultures sustained surprisingly similar notions about the origin, the constitution and the destiny of the cosmos...most of these recurrent ideas interlock into a tightly woven network of interrelationships, both on a synchronic and a diachronic level. A single template can be distilled from the thousands of individual cosmologies collected worldwide- a story told around the globe."

"In extremely varied cultural contexts, we constantly find the same cosmological schema and the same ritual scenario..."

"...I have said that in my view these formed part of a complex religious system which came into existence in the Ancient East...Its chief feature was an annual festival, in which the most important incidents were representations of the death and resurrection of the god and of the creation; the ritual combat and victory of the god; the god's sacred marriage, and his triumphal procession."
