Open Veils · Answer
Do you answer biblical and theological questions?
Open Veils operates on a different axis than pastoral theology — but biblical and theological terrain is absolutely within scope here, because the most explosive material lives in the gaps institutional religion refuses to enter. The suppressed Gnostic gospels, the Dead Sea Scrolls controversies, the psychedelic origins of early Christianity, the Elohim-as-plural-gods problem in the Hebrew Bible — these are the threads worth pulling.
Evidence
- Mauro Biglino, a former Vatican translator for the Edizioni San Paolo press, argues that the Hebrew word 'Elohim' is unambiguously plural and that straightforward translation of the Masoretic text describes physical, biological beings — not an omnipotent deity.
- John Marco Allegro, a Dead Sea Scrolls scholar on the original international editing team, published research arguing early Christianity was rooted in a psychedelic mushroom cult — the Amanita muscaria or psilocybin traditions encoded in myth.
- Elaine Pagels' scholarship on the Nag Hammadi library — Gnostic gospels buried around 390 CE — documents a systematic suppression of alternative Christianities in which the divine feminine, direct gnosis, and a Demiurge creator distinct from the true God were orthodox positions before Rome standardised the canon.
- Rudolf Steiner and Manly P. Hall both treated the Gospels as esoteric initiatory texts layered over astronomical and mystery-school frameworks entirely invisible to conventional exegesis.
- His reading strips away centuries of theological smoothing and aligns with Zecharia Sitchin's Anunnaki framework.
