As the "rock-born," Mithras was called "Theos ek Petras," or the "God from the Rock." As Weigall says: "Indeed, it may be that the reason of the Vatican hill at Rome being regarded as sacred to Peter, the Christian 'Rock,' was that it was already sacred to Mithra, for Mithraic remains have been found there". Mithra was 'the rock,' or Peter, and was also 'double-faced,' like Janus the keyholder, likewise a prototype for the "apostle" Peter. Hence, when Jesus is made to say that the keys of the kingdom of heaven are given to "Peter" and that the Church is to be built upon "Peter," as a representative of Rome, he is usurping the authority of Mithraism, which was the official Roman cult at the time, precisely headquartered on what became Vatican Hill".

Mithra’s birth was witnessed by shepherds and by Magi (wisemen) who brought gifts to his sacred birth-cave of the Rock (Homer Smith, Man and His Gods, p. 129; S.H. Hooke, The Siege Perilous, p. 85; Franz Cumont, The Mysteries of Mithra, p. 131). Mithra performed the usual assortment of miracles: raising the dead, healing the sick, making the blind see and the lame walk, casting out devils. As a Peter (son of Petra) he carried keys to the kingdom of heaven (Homer Smith, Man and His Gods, p. 129). His triumph and ascension to heaven were celebrated at the Spring Equinox (Easter), when the sun rises toward its apogee.

Answer for yourself: Does this not parallel the resurrection of Jesus as the Spring Equinox and Passover? Could this "Jesus Story" be again nothing more than an allegory of the Celestial events that occur at the Spring Equinox?

The theme of the teaching god and "the Twelve" is found within Mithraism, as Mithra is depicted surrounded by the 12 zodiac signs on a number of monuments and in the writings of Porphyry, for one. Regarding the Twelve, Robertson says: "On Mithraic monuments we find representations of twelve episodes, probably corresponding to the twelve labors in the stories of Heracles, Samson and other Sun-heroes, and probably also connected with initiation". As they have been in the case of numerous sun gods, these signs could be called Mithra's 12 'companions' or 'disciples'. Furthermore, the motif of the 12 disciples or followers in a 'last supper' is recurrent in the Pagan world, including within Mithraism":

[Mark] gave Jesus a last supper with twelve followers, identical in every way with the last supper of the Persian god Mithra, down to the cannibalisation of the god's body in the form of bread and wine:

Mark 14:22-26 22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. 25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. 26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. (KJV)

Before returning to heaven, Mithra celebrated a Last Supper with his twelve disciples, who represented the twelve signs of the zodiac. In memory of this, his worshippers partook of a sacramental meal of bread marked with a cross (S.H. Hooke, The Siege Perilous, p. 89; Franz Cumont, The Mysteries of Mithra, p. 160). This was one of the seven Mithraic sacraments, the models for the Christians’ seven sacraments (E.O. James, The Ancient Gods, p. 250).

Here we have two celestial 'fires in the sky' - the Moon in the form of Indiana and Mars the fire planet.

• 'Indiana' is 'In-Diana' or 'In Moon' (Diana is a moon goddess)
• Indiana's flag is a torch.
• 'Helen' means both 'torch' and 'moon'.

• May 19/20: Full Moon; vertical reflection of Jan. 21-22 (= full Moon, Orange Alignment, market meltdown, Ledger death, Holmes-Algol conjunction)

• May 22: 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' release

• May 25: Indianapolis 500 race in Indiana featuring female star Danica (name meaning 'Morning Star' = Venus); Phoenix landing on Mars

UPDATE: On May 20 Indianapolis awarded 2012 Super Bowl

The slightly 'late' Indiana/Phoenix window allows the following time mirroring involving the 'Black Pope'. (Jesuit Superior General is called the 'Black Pope'.)

Jesuits select new 'black pope'

Jan 05: 35th General Congregation of Jesuits convened
Jan 15: Superior General Kolvenbach resignation accepted
Jan 19: New Superior General/'Black Pope' Adolfo Nicolas elected

The Pope Shift scenario a la Dan Brown's Angel & Demons or The Godfather Part III is something I've been closely tracking since last year. In 'The St. Anthony Code', for instance, I wrote:

Chances are that we'll soon be seeing some major shifts in Rome, including a new pope and perhaps an anti-pope, coming out of South America... like Claudio Hummes of Brazil. As far as the Templars are concerned, the Pope/Vatican represents the 'resident evil'...

As the Grail and its guardians rise from the Tomb, the 'bridge builder' must fall... and finally face 'extinction'. It'll be the end of an age... of illusion... of 'Maya'.

And yes, that's a Rome/Vatican skyline inverted - via the 'looking-glass' - on the book cover (1st edition). Invert 'Roma' and you get Amor, meaning 'love' as in Cupid/'arrow through the heart' and the goddess/planet of love, Venus.

Coming up on June 7 is the Venus Transit halftime in effect 'mirroring' the timeline right at the midpoint. And it's intensely orange, like the Angels & Demons cover.

The rare Venus-Sun-Mercury-Earth alignment was last seen at the time of the passing of Pope John Paul II on April 2nd, 2005 (the alignment came a few days earlier).

The climax of Angels & Demons is a papal conclave accidentally electing two popes...

That's the type of context lurking behind the time reflection/inversion of the 'Black Pope' resignation/election coming up late May shortly before the Venus Transit halftime.

Modulate the storyline via multicontextuality and we detect the high likelihood of Barack Obama becoming the presumptive presidential nominee late May/early June. (June 3rd is the last primary day.) While not exactly surprising, here's what's really interesting about Obama: He will become the first black presidential nominee (and likely next president); and he is a unifier figure or a bridge-builder. The papal title 'pontiff' means 'bridge builder'. That makes Obama a 'Black Pontiff', i.e. a 'Black Pope'! He was even born on August 4th, the launch date of Phoenix last year. Its imminent landing on Mars on May 25 will inevitably signal 'Mission Accomplished' for Obama, i.e. winning the presidential nomination.

Phoenix launch 8/4/07 (Obama birthday)	Phoenix landing 5/25/08 (Obama clinches nomination?)

Assuming he does get the nomination, Obama will go against the Republican presidential nominee John McCain haling from... Phoenix, Arizona (the site of this year's 'Cupid' Super Bowl).

[Jan 23:  'The Resurrection of John McCain']

That's double Phoenix... echoing two pontiffs. This makes a lot of sense in light of McCain's well-known cross-party appeal (many Hillary supporters are threatening to vote for McCain should Obama get the nomination). Meaning McCain, like Obama, is a 'bridge builder' figure, i.e. a 'pontiff'. Keep this context in mind in the coming weeks and months. It may well take on a 'prophetic' quality.

Jano. Museos Vaticanos (El Vaticano).

Jano (en latín Janus, Ianus) es, en la mitología romana, un dios que tenia dos caras mirando hacia ambos lados de su perfil, padre de Fontus. Jano era el dios de las puertas, los comienzos y los finales. Por eso le fue consagrado el primer mes del año (que en español pasó del latín Ianuarius a Janeiro y Janero y de ahí derivó a Enero). Como dios de los comienzos, se lo invocaba públicamente el primer día de enero (Ianuarius), el mes que derivó de su nombre porque inicia el nuevo año. Se lo invocaba también al comenzar una guerra, y mientras ésta durara, las puertas de su templo permanecían siempre abiertas; cuando Roma estaba en paz, las puertas se cerraban. Jano no tiene equivalente en la mitología griega.

Al igual que Prometeo, Jano es una suerte de héroe cultural, ya que se le atribuye entre otras cosas la invención del dinero, las leyes y la agricultura. Según los romanos, este dios aseguraba buenos finales.

Dentro de los muchos apelativos que recibe el dios, vale la pena destacar dos: Jano Patulsio (patulsius), que era usado para invocar la cara del dios que se ubicaba delante de la puerta por quien deseaba atravesarla (para entrar o salir). Como complemento, la cara que se le opone a ésta del otro lado de la puerta, es invocada como Jano Clusivio (clusivius). Ambos nombres declaran la doble funcionalidad del dios.^{[cita requerida]}

Jano es citado en la novela de Albert Camus, La caída, donde simboliza la dualidad del personaje entre el pasado y el futuro.
