Were the ancient people fools who worshiped stone idols, or is it possible that these idols once held a living power? Could they have possessed certain god-like abilities, and is there evidence for it? For thousands of years, a single mystery has been locked away at the heart of every religion. Hidden in symbols, condemned by dogma, and buried beneath misunderstanding. On this episode of The Hall of Mysteries with the Mahdi Aba Al-Sadiq, we explore the forbidden wisdom that unites Moses, Hermes, Jesus, and the Imams. It is the key that reveals how the divine presence once interacted with matter, and how this sacred operation shaped every revelation in history. This episode leads to the center of the Hermetic mystery, uncovering the divine mechanism within creation itself.

Robert Lee Camp was born into a relatively poor family in West Virginia in 1953. The first of seven children, he always had an interest in self-improvement which eventually lead to spirituality. In 1976 he moved full time into a yoga school in Pennsylvania and was a celibate and renunciate for five years and a resident leader and teacher for 10 years. It was there he was first exposed to the idea of astrology to which he took to immediately.Robert discovered the Science of the Cards in 1988 when a friend showed him a copy of Sacred Symbols of the Ancients. He was already doing astrological readings at the time and was stunned by the accuracy of what he read there. That book eventually lead him to his teacher, Arnie Lein, with whom he took numerous lessons in order to master this ancient system. Arnie Lein did not live long after Robert met him and died about a year later. This prompted Robert to dedicate himself to spreading this knowledge of the cards to the world, and write and publish his first book, which was entitled The Atlantean Oracle. He used his knowledge of computer programming to create all the yearly spreads that his book displayed, to make reading the cards much easier than the method taught by Mr. Lein.In 1992 Robert discovered The Order of the Magi, who were located in Paradise, CA. On his second trip to meet with them, he was told he was to be initiated into the Order due to his commitment to the cards and his past lives, in one of which he served the prophet Daniel. In May of that year, he was initiated as a Grand Master in the Order of the Magi on Terra. It was from this initiation that Robert realized the spiritual underpinnings of this amazing system and dedicated himself to making it known to the world.As Robert used and taught the Science of the Cards to others, he made many discoveries about the system, ones that brought out even more meaningful information that had never been taught. Much of what is common knowledge about the cards today is a result of his experience and research.While in Los Angeles, CA, Robert was able to perform readings for several Hollywood celebrities, but eventually decided to move up to Paradise to rewrite his book. With the support of his students, Robert published The Cards of Your Destiny, which became much more successful. He was discovered by accident by Sourcebooks, Inc. just as he was writing his Love Cards book and accepted a publishing deal for both books.After that he spent year teaching classes, developing software, and doing readings for others. Now, over 30 years later, he has sold hundreds of thousands of books and card science has become much more available and visible to the world. His books have been translated and published in Russian, Chinese, and other languages. He continues his work and is helping train students to become readers and teachers. Robert currently resides in Asheville, NC with his wife Lena Rachel and son, Radheya.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

What if the cultural chaos we’re witnessing isn’t just political or social—but a visible sign of ancient, unseen spiritual forces at work? In this riveting episode, Catherine welcomes back New York Times bestselling author and esteemed spiritual leader Jonathan Cahn. Known for his prophetic insight and viral teachings, Jonathan brings parents face-to-face with revelations from his explosive new book, The Avatar: The Return of the Ancients and the Future of America. With global headlines swirling—hostage releases in the Middle East, political shake-ups at home—Jonathan argues that these events are rooted in spiritual battles dating back thousands of years. He takes listeners on a journey through scripture and current history, demonstrating that ancient “gods” and principalities are reclaiming influence in our modern world, often in ways that fly under the radar of the Western mind. Key insights from the episode: The spiritual war behind the headlines: Jonathan unpacks how events like the October 7 attacks in Israel and miraculous hostage returns are spiritual manifestations, echoing patterns seen throughout biblical history. America’s spiritual crossroads: Drawing from The Return of the Gods, Jonathan reveals the “dark trinity” of Baal, Ashtoreth/Ishtar, and Molech—ancient entities driving materialism, sexual confusion, and the destruction of life in today’s society. The avatar phenomenon: Through spellbinding personal anecdotes from India, Cuba, and Africa, Jonathan explains how avatars—human embodiments of these ancient spirits—are still being worshipped globally, and how this practice is stealthily influencing Western cultures and politics. Surprising connections in U.S. leadership: Catherine and Jonathan dive into uncanny parallels between political figures (including Kamala Harris and Donald Trump) and ancient gods and biblical leaders, even uncovering astonishing links between their birthdates and sacred calendar readings. The warning and the call: While God sometimes uses unlikely leaders (the "Jehu" template) to roll back spiritual darkness, ultimate hope for America rests not in politicians but in a nationwide revival—a return to the worship of the one true God, starting in our homes and families. Notable moments: Jonathan’s miraculous encounters with spiritual warfare overseas and their effect on communities. Catherine’s research into how avatars are selected and worshipped in modern cultures—and the resulting persecution of Christians and Jews. The uncanny timing of U.S. leaders’ births with ancient holy days and scriptural readings. As Jonathan cautions: “If we change the government, but we don’t change the hearts of the people, the unchanged hearts are going to change the government back...

Story Transcript:Nl: De zon hing laag aan de hemel boven de heuvel in het oude Griekenland.En: The sun hung low in the sky above the hill in ancient Griekenland.Nl: Gebladerte in gouden tinten bedekte de grond en maakte dat de ruïnes zo oud als de tijd zelf leken te fluisteren.En: Foliage in golden hues covered the ground, making the ruins seem as though they whispered as old as time itself.Nl: Bram en Sanne stonden aan de rand van de opgraving, de lucht koud, maar hun nieuwsgierigheid warmer dan de zon.En: Bram and Sanne stood at the edge of the excavation, the air cold, but their curiosity warmer than the sun.Nl: Bram's ogen glinsterden.En: Bram's eyes sparkled.Nl: "Dít is waar het gebeurt, Sanne.En: "This is where it happens, Sanne.Nl: Vandaag vind ik iets groots," zei hij, zijn handen gewillig rustend op het gereedschap in zijn rugzak.En: Today, I'll find something big," he said, his hands willingly resting on the tools in his backpack.Nl: Sanne knikte geduldig maar met een bezorgde frons.En: Sanne nodded patiently but with a worried frown.Nl: Ze kende Bram langer dan vandaag en wist dat zijn enthousiasme hem soms in de problemen bracht.En: She had known Bram longer than just today and knew that his enthusiasm sometimes got him into trouble.Nl: "We moeten voorzichtig zijn.En: "We must be careful.Nl: Deze ruïnes zijn oud en fragiel."En: These ruins are old and fragile."Nl: Samen liepen ze het gebied binnen.En: Together they walked into the area.Nl: Het geluid van hun schoenen op de stenen echode als een zachte melodie door de oude gangen.En: The sound of their shoes on the stones echoed like a soft melody through the ancient halls.Nl: Het verleden leek zo dichtbij, bijna tastbaar in de lucht rondom hen.En: The past felt so close, almost tangible in the air around them.Nl: Plotseling stopte Bram, zijn blik gericht op een donker stuk van de muur.En: Suddenly, Bram stopped, his gaze fixed on a dark part of the wall.Nl: "Kijk hier, Sanne!"En: "Look here, Sanne!"Nl: Hij schoof een met mos bedekte steen opzij, onthullend een smalle doorgang.En: He pushed aside a moss-covered stone, revealing a narrow passageway.Nl: Sanne fronste.En: Sanne frowned.Nl: "Het is te riskant zonder betere verankering."En: "It's too risky without better support."Nl: "Bram," zei ze zacht, "wat als we iets serieus beschadigen?"En: "Bram," she said softly, "what if we seriously damage something?"Nl: Bram twijfelde niet en begon de doorgang binnen te kruipen.En: Without hesitation, Bram began to crawl into the passage.Nl: "Ik voel het, Sanne.En: "I feel it, Sanne.Nl: Dit is het."En: This is it."Nl: Ze zuchtte en volgde hem, waakzaam, haar blik constant inspecterend.En: She sighed and followed him, vigilant, her gaze constantly inspecting.Nl: Diep binnen in het labyrint van stenen stuitten ze op een verborgen kamer.En: Deep within the labyrinth of stones, they stumbled upon a hidden room.Nl: Binnen waren oude artefacten, schatten van een oude wereld, perfect bewaard terwijl de eeuwen voorbijgingen.En: Inside were ancient artifacts, treasures from an old world, perfectly preserved as the centuries passed by.Nl: Bram's adem stokte.En: Bram's breath caught.Nl: "Dit... dit is ongelofelijk."En: "This... this is incredible."Nl: Maar slechts een moment later begonnen de muren gevaarlijk te kraken.En: But just a moment later, the walls began to crack dangerously.Nl: "Het stort in!"En: "It's collapsing!"Nl: riep Sanne, plotseling vol van adrenaline en alertheid.En: cried Sanne, suddenly full of adrenaline and alertness.Nl: Ze greep Bram's arm, haar ogen fel en scherp.En: She grabbed Bram's arm, her eyes bright and sharp.Nl: "We moeten nu handelen."En: "We have to act now."Nl: Zij pakte haar camera om snel enkele belangrijke foto's te maken.En: She grabbed her camera to quickly take some important photos.Nl: "Genoeg, Bram!"En: "Enough, Bram!"Nl: Bram, nu bewust van het gevaar, hielp Sanne.En: Now aware of the danger, Bram helped Sanne.Nl: Samen zochten ze de snelste route terug naar de veiligheid, hun hart bonzend.En: Together, they sought the fastest route back to safety, their hearts pounding.Nl: Nauwelijks op tijd wisten ze zichzelf in veiligheid te brengen.En: Hardly in time, they managed to bring themselves to safety.Nl: Terwijl het stof achter hen optrok, keken ze elkaar aan.En: As the dust rose behind them, they looked at each other.Nl: Er was geen behoefte aan woorden.En: There was no need for words.Nl: De opwinding was nu doordrongen met een gezonde dosis respect voor hun omgeving.En: The excitement was now infused with a healthy dose of respect for their surroundings.Nl: "Laten we het van nu af rustig aan doen," zei Bram, een nieuwe zachtheid in zijn stem.En: "Let's take it slow from now on," said Bram, a new softness in his voice.Nl: Hij besefte dat geduld loont, en dat Sanne's methodische aanpak misschien wel zijn leven had gered.En: He realized that patience pays off, and that Sanne's methodical approach might have saved his life.Nl: Sanne glimlachte, de adrenaline maakte langzaam plaats voor opluchting.En: Sanne smiled, the adrenaline slowly giving way to relief.Nl: "We werken voortaan samen als een team, Bram."En: "We'll work together as a team from now on, Bram."Nl: Terwijl ze samen door de herfstblaadjes terugliepen, voelden ze beiden dat ze niet alleen historische artefacten hadden ontdekt, maar ook een dieper begrip van vertrouwen en samenwerking.En: As they walked back through the autumn leaves together, they both felt that they had not only discovered historical artifacts, but also a deeper understanding of trust and collaboration.Nl: In de verte rustte de zon op het zilveren Aegeïsche water, de horizon verlichtend met beloften van meer ontdekkingen die veilig verkend konden worden.En: In the distance, the sun rested on the silver Aegeïsche waters, illuminating the horizon with promises of more discoveries that could be safely explored.

Will Earth survive the Prior Plague? Will the Jaffa give in to Gerak and become slaves to the Ori? Find out as we discuss The Fourth Horseman, Part 2. Luckily, we didn't have to wait three months this time. Why are the Sodan not surprised to see Mitchell, considering they all think he's dead? Why is no one talking about that? And why do they only have one plan for getting blood from the Prior? It seems silly that all the world leaders from the International Committee show up in person at the SGC, which is Ground Zero for the current global pandemic.  Why was Orlin not coming in to tell people the truth about the Ori not a part of the plan from the beginning? SG1 seems to be back to their old tricks of trying to convince people they've just met that they're the ones who know the truth. Although, Teal'c does finally make some good points to Gerak where he starts asking questions to try and get Gerak to really think about what the Priors/Ori have told him. Can non-corporeal beings travel between galaxies without ships? Have the Ancients and Ori really been completely isolated from each other all this time?

Tristan Hughes continues our special series on Great Disasters, journeying back to ancient Mesopotamia with Dr Paul Collins to explore the fall of the Sumerians.4,000 years ago, the great cities of Sumer — Ur, Uruk, Lagash, Girsu — stood as glittering centres of power, crowned with mighty ziggurats and ruled by ambitious dynasties. Yet within a few generations, this world of splendour and tradition unravelled. From the collapse of the Akkadian Empire to shifting power struggles and environmental pressures, uncover why these prestigious city-states declined — and ask whether we can truly talk of a 'fall of Sumer.' Join us as we step into the chaos of Mesopotamia's first great age of empires and witness how disaster reshaped the cradle of civilisation.MOREThe SumeriansSargon of AkkadPresented by Tristan Hughes.
