When Jesus Christ was a PAGAN God

Mithras is Mitra is Maitri is Maitreya is Messiah, ancient origins of a Teacher (Friend) to Come

Was Jesus originally a Pagan god? | The Christ Series
(Spirit Science) April 2, 2025: Why is it that before Jesus [the Christ, the Annointed One, the Nazarene] ever existed, stories about his nature existed for thousands of years?
Long before Christianity, the blueprint was already written. This episode of The Christ Series explores the ancient Mystery School traditions of the Mediterranean world — spiritual schools [based around an entheogenic, psychedelic, hallucinogenic drug, according to Greek philologist and Bible scholar Dr. Ammon Hillman] that centered on dying and resurrecting godmen, sacred rituals of rebirth, and the quest for [ego death and] inner transformation.
Egyptian gods Osiris, Anubis, Horus
From baptisms for Osiris in Egypt to Dionysus in Greece, Mithras [a Maitreya/Messiah figure once worshiped on the Vatican grounds in the Holy See in Rome] in Persia, and Attis in Asia Minor, the core themes now associated with Jesus that were already part of a much older spiritual tapestry.

The idea of a "divine incarnation" (avatar) is not unique to Jesus or Christianity but is found in Hinduism with Krishna, Buddhism with Svetaketu* (descending from the Tusita heaven or celestial space world to be reborn as Prince Siddhartha) [Setaketu was the Bodhisatta (the Buddha-to-be) reborn in Tusita in his penultimate rebirth. Sp.i.161; MA.i.103], Zoroastrianism with Saoshyant, and the Egyptian solar deity Horus, who daily vanquishes darkness (Set).

Dive into how early Jewish thinkers, especially in Alexandria, encountered these traditions and began weaving them into a new story — one that would become Christianity. But what emerged in those early days was not the rigid religion we know today. It was something mystical, symbolic, and deeply personal.

Mystery school drug use in ancient times

The Chemical Muse (Hillman)
In the city-states that gave birth to Western civilization, entheogenic and/or psychedelic DRUGS and substances were an everyday element of a free society. Often, drugs were not just available, but vitally necessary for use in medicine, religious ceremonies, and war campaigns. Their proponents and users existed in all classes up to the emperor. Citing examples in myths, mysteries, medicine, and literature, Dr. Hillman shows how drugs have influenced and inspired... More

*World's first reincarnation story
Maya's dream (Setaketu Bodhisatta)
Before the Future-Buddha Shakyamuni was reborn on earth, he was reborn in a higher sensual heaven (the Kama Loka or "Sensual Sphere" world called Tusita or "the Joyful") as its ruler, Svetaketu (Pali Setaketu). There is a story in the Vedic Chandogya Upanishad that is the first time rebirth/reincarnation is mentioned in the Vedas and perhaps in all of the known writings in human history. In this story, Svetaketu returns home from studying. His childhood friends ask him what he learned about the afterlife, to which he replies that it was not part of his curriculum. They ask Svetaketu's father, and he also does not know, so they ask the king, who claims to have known all along and explains the concept of reincarnation. He adds that it is a common belief among the kshatriya (warrior, noble, administrative class) and from this belief, they draw their power (courage in battle) [2]. More
