Darkness covers the world today. There is so much suffering in Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, and in almost every unseen corner. We all want to contribute to a solution to these endless conflicts without choosing one darkness over another.

In this book, Dr. Robert North, Ex-Jesuit, Counselor, and Religious Scholar, proves that Jesus was the Messiah who saw our exact situation and the only solution. But his revolutionary ideas were attacked, misinterpreted, and hidden. Today, few, if anyone, teaches them!

Jesus stated that the leading cause of religiously and politically based conflicts is the personal promotion and defense of dogmas.

When people identify with their supposedly good and true dogmas about things such as religion, nationhood, race, sexual identity, gender, politics, and ethnicity, they often think that they are good and others who differ are bad. Then, many of these people believe that it is their righteous duty to eliminate bad people and their untrue, bad dogmas to save themselves and the world. Of course, those attacked defend themselves and their good and true dogmas. Some others try to be “tolerant” of differences, but that is like trying to accept and live with “bad.” It never brings lasting peace.

Dr. North quotes Jesus to show that he taught a substitute for dogma-based religion and politics—for everyone, including Atheists. North also explains how Jesus’ insights were misinterpreted and hidden for 2000 years by theologians, philosophers, and other scholars.

Introduction: The name “Eve” designates the unknown author of the Adam and Eve story in the Bible.

Overview: Everyone wants a way to end religious and secular conflicts. Everyone wants a well-defined way to become a Buddha and a Jesus. And everyone wants a clear way to emotional health in any situation.

That Way exists: It has been hidden behind our misunderstanding of the Bible, Buddha's early wisdom poems, and the Gospel of Thomas.

Methodology: Robert North applied the Semitic Secret for the first time to these ancient works to reveal the true meaning of their metaphors, and through them, to the Way we all, including Atheists, seek to achieve personal and global peace.

The Result: This analysis proves that Eve, Abraham, Buddha, and Jesus taught the same alternative to theological and secular religion—which they called the “world” of “darkness,” “death,” “division,” and “enslavement.” In contrast, they modeled and preached the “Way” to “light,” “life,” “unity,” and “freedom.”

Overview: In this book, Dr. Robert North reveals that Biblical and other Semitic authors composed their Works according to “Semitic Parallelism”—a highly sophisticated, ancient literary methodology that ceased to be used in about the 2nd Century CE.

A Workbook: In it, you will practice using Semitic Parallelism:

  To organize and interpret the Bible and the Gospel of Thomas in ways not done in 2000 years.

  To discern an authors’ chapter, verse, and other section breaks, which differ completely from those in our current Bibles.

  To disclose the author’s internal dictionary and commentary.

  To read parts of the Bible and other Semitic Works as allegories and not as history.

  To determine where copyists have deleted and inserted text. As a result, we can largely reconstruct the original document, which is the dream-goal of Biblical translators.

Summary: You will become an expert who will be able to question most of the Biblical historical, theological, and commentary conclusions of the past 2000 years!

Review: Dr. Barrie Wilson, former Chair of and Senior Scholar in the Department of Religious studies at York University concluded: “Overall, an original, brilliant piece of detective work. One major implication of this discovery is that it places the Synoptic gospel authors in a very different league than has hitherto been thought. Not only are they highly literate, but they are tapped into a Semitic mode of textual composition.”

Background: In 1945, a farmer in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, dug up a large jar buried in the Fourth Century. It contained many ancient texts. Among them was one in which the first page indicated that the Book was composed by Jesus. The second page stated that the scribe was Judas Thomas, one of Jesus’ disciples. In a margin, a later copyist called the Book “The Gospel of Thomas.” Today it is known by that name, although most scholars believe it was initially unnamed.

Book Content:

  Thomas consists of twenty-one chapters arranged in an arch, as you see to the left. Within each chapter, the author arranged wisdom poems in either an arch or in parallel columns. Further, he organized the stanzas in each poem in an arch or parallel columns.

  Scholars agree that Jesus composed over half of the poems.

  In an Appendix, Dr. North argues that Jesus is the author of Thomas because only a single person—one who deeply understood the meanings of the 131 poems—could have composed the Book with many interdependent levels of organization.

  For the first time, Dr. Robert North translated Thomas “literally” “according to its organization” to show the meaning of each chapter, poem, and metaphor.

  Also, Dr. North presents Jesus lost, revolutionary “Way” out of religious conflict and into personal and global peace.
