Petra Cadman, during her study of ancient history, archaeology, myth and religion, decid- ed to try to establish the true identity of the father of Jesus Christ. Disbelieving the doc- trine that Jesus was man born of God and a vir- gin, she figured that the real father had to have been human. While she found evidence for several virgin births around that time and part of the world, she thinks it is more likely that the mother of Jesus was a vestal virgin in Rome, and that the father was none other than the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar! The punishment for defiling a vestal virgin (or, for that matter, being defiled) in those days was execution—or, luck- ily for Mary, banishment to Judaea. It was inconceivable for an Emperor to be put in such a position, so a disappearance from Rome had to be arranged for Mary—and a new home, husband and foster-father for Jesus. Author Cadman claims that Jesus would have been educated in Rome during his youth, even- tually returning home during Tiberius' rule to enlist the support of some Essenes in his quest to establish a better life for the people of Judaea. Petra Cadman set out to show that Jesus was an ordinary carthly human, a good teacher, a humanitarian. In the process she dismisses analysis of the more esoteric foundations asso- ciated with the story of Jesus. Her thesis is thought-provoking, yet difficult to prove due to lack of hard evidence. Though her intention was never to denigrate Christianity, her book is bound to ruffle a few feathers. SACRED GEOMETRY: The Unified Field with Dan Winter and "Mabel" Produced by Daniel Winter & Friends/ Crystal Hill Farm, Eden, NY, USA Price: AUD$30.00 inc. p&h; USD$17.00 + p&h (2hrs PAL/VHS and NTSC/VHS) Available: Australia—Cliff Pound, PO Box 202, Bangalow, NSW 2479; USA—Crystal Hill Farm, 9411 Sandrock Road, Eden, NY 14057, ph (716) 992 9307, fax (716) 992 3025. This video is a brilliant visual introduction to Dan Winter's unified field geometry, and an ideal companion to his book, Alphabet of ag Heart, reviewed in our last issue. Dan was once a systems analyst at IBM sal has a clinical background in the psychophysi- ology of emotion. His gently-spoken narrative understates the sheer enormity, significance and beauty of his computer-aided unified field descriptions. Most spectacular is his animation of the pure geometric origin of sacred alphabet and sym- bol. The torus, or doughnut, is the fundamen- ta] shape into which conical light waves can organise themselves into matter. Overlaid with the self-organising golden mean spiral—the link between dimensions—the torus, when rotated through the platonic angles of symme- try, produces successive images of all 26 let- ters of the English alphabet as well as the Hebrew alphabet. Dan Winter has nicknamed this effect “Angle-ish". This is a true revelation of an age-old secret: that our language is fundamentally sacred. It is the original language of light, the holy dough- nut grail of interdimensional communication. Whew!—and that's barely scratching the sur- face of this presentation that sets the imagina- tion on fire. Stay tuned for an upcoming NEXUS feature on Dan Winter's sacred alpha- bet, linking light, love, language and geometry into a coherent, unified vision.
