Jesus the Extraterrestrial - Origins (24 page)

‘And Oprah, we can’t forget people who have birds in a cage at home. Or even reptiles in aquariums. This is wrong. No one has the right to deprive an animal of its freedom, whatever type of animal it is, even an insect. And it’s wrong to use animals to test cosmetics, and to use them just anyhow as guinea-pigs. It’s one thing to test for diseases, and quite another to use animals in experiments that don’t bring any good to mankind.

‘There are many examples, but it all begins at home, with pets. If you want to have the chance to be saved, treat your pets very well, just like you would want to be treated, treat them as if they were people, humans. No human being is any better than an animal on earth. Would you like it if a superior race started killing humans to eat? How would you feel about that? We have thousands of types of foodstuffs not made from animals, so why do you need to eat meat? Today there is meat made from soya, just as good as animal meat.’

‘Are you a vegetarian, David?’

‘Yes, definitely.’

‘But what about milk products and other animal derivatives?’

‘I see no harm in consuming them. These days dairy cows are very well treated. It’s all a question of buying things from a reputable source, of knowing where they come from – in the case of milk, you should know if it’s from a farm that mistreats its animals or if it’s from one of those where the cows listen to classical music and are given massages, for example. Everything’s relative. As long as what you consume isn’t produced through an animal’s suffering, then you can eat it.’

‘Not to mention that a meat-free diet is healthier.’

‘Indeed. Gandhi said once that the greatness of a nation is measured by the way it treats its animals. I would rephrase that and say that the goodness of a person is measured by the way that person treats animals.’

‘Right, then let’s get back to healing. The third one, the other man in a wheelchair, can you heal him?’

‘Yes, he’s already healed.’

‘Already healed?’ Oprah’s eyes widened and she looked at the young man in the wheelchair.

‘From the moment I got here didn’t you feel pins and needles in your legs?’ David asked the paralytic.

‘Yes, I did. I feel it a little from time to time, but today it was stronger.’

‘OK then, as you’re wearing long trousers you won’t have noticed it, but your muscles started developing and now you can walk. Try moving your legs.’

All the studio cameras were on the young man in the wheelchair and the audience got to its feet to see if he could really move
his legs.

The young man made an effort to move his legs and little by little they started to react. He started sobbing when he saw what his legs were doing. The audience was stunned at the sight and many of them start to cry.

‘What’s your name?’ David asked the young man, who was tall and thin, looking to be about thirty years old.

‘My name’s Richard,’ the other replied, weeping.

‘Richard, you are healed. GET UP and WALK towards me,’ said David in a forceful tone.

The young man supported himself on the arms of the wheelchair to try and get up, and when they saw he was having difficulty the producers went to help him. Then he stood up and started walking towards David. He could walk by himself, slowly. Oprah was open-mouthed and crying at the sight. The audience was silent, not believing its eyes. The viewers reacted the same way – millions of people were silent, watching live what David had just done. There was a commotion both in and outside the Harpo studios. All the people were crying, shouting and hugging each other in their emotional state. David got up and the young man gave him a long, tight hug. Then the young man got down on his knees in front of David and began to kiss his feet. David was embarrassed and leant down and pulled the young man up.

‘My God, David, you really are who you say you are,’ said Oprah. I’ve got no doubt about that now. I’m honored to be the first to welcome you. Our audience ratings are the highest in the program’s history. Thank you!’

‘Oprah, to wrap this up, let me say that two of the four blind people can now see. All they have to do is open their eyes and take off their dark glasses.’

At once everyone turned towards the four blind people who were sitting side by side in the second row. A girl and a young man twisted their heads round and started touching the things in front of them; they could see again and they were crying. Realizing that they could really see the audience erupted. They wept. Oprah wept. The tumult inside the studios redoubled. People at home couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The blind had had their sight restored.

‘I know your sight may still be a bit cloudy, rather foggy. That’s normal, your eyes have to get used to the light and everything.’

With the producers’ help, the two of them went up to David to thank him for what he had done, embracing him and kissing him.

‘But David, how did you do that without touching them? In the YouTube video you touch the girl Amy. She appeared on my program and explained what had happened.’

‘This time, Oprah, the sickness wasn’t very serious, and the lesions weren’t bad, so I could direct my energy to them through my thoughts, during the course of the program. That was all it took to heal them. In Amy’s case the lesions were very serious, so it took a lot more energy to be able to heal her.’

‘God bless you, David. I’m sure no one has any more doubts about who you are and what your mission here is.’

‘That’s what I hope too, Oprah: that people believe in me. I hope they will follow me and realize that truly all I say will come to pass. We have set up an internet site where people can find out what is going on, and what is going to happen. We are setting up an order. It’s as if it was a new religion, but it isn’t really a religion, as people of other religions can take part without changing their beliefs. All that’s needed is for them to be good people, that they are thirsty for the truth, that they treat other people and animals well, and that they are keen to help. It’s an order that will unite people from all over the world, people who believe in Jesus, in the real Jesus that I will reveal to you, and that want to be a part of it. The order is called Arammu; and our website is arammu.org. All the people throughout the world who are accepted into the order of Arammu will be taking part in something very big. They will all be like brothers, and all the brothers will have as their mission to bring love to others and to humanity. Love: that’s what Arammu means in our mother language, the Sumerian tongue, the first language that humans learnt to communicate in.’

‘I want to see your website. As soon as the program’s over I’ll access arammu.org. David, I’d like to know if you can come to the program again tomorrow, to continue our chat, as our time’s up now.’

‘Of course I can. It’ll be an honor for me. So tomorrow I’ll be back and finish telling people what they need to know.’

‘Thank you, David. Thanks for accepting our invitation. That’s all for today, but tomorrow we’ll be back with David Griffin. Don’t miss it.’

HAPTER 33

The Vatican, one hour later.

The broad corridors of the Apostolic Palace echoed a symphony of hurried steps which one by one went silent, as they entered a great hall at the end of a long corridor. As soon as there was silence, they heard the sound of a heavy wooden door slam shut and of a key turning. Several cardinals were meeting in the hall after getting an extraordinary summons from the Pope. In no time the hall was full, and all the cardinals and important people connected to the Pontiff were there for the meeting behind closed doors. The men took their places and the murmuring ceased as the Pope came in, accompanied by his personal secretary and the Vatican spokesman.

‘Father Vitorio has just shown me an interview on the internet, given an hour ago on a television program in the United States. I think many of you must have seen this interview,’ said the Pope, getting the meeting underway.

Most of the cardinals raised their hands in assent. The internet video had spread like a virus all through Vatican City.

‘I never thought to see anything of the sort in my lifetime. I have heard of miracles, but nothing compared to this. This is why we are here at this extraordinary meeting, to decide what to do,’ said the Pope in a worried tone.

‘Holy Father, before this meeting some of us were discussing the case. Some colleagues and I believe that we are dealing with a trickster. We think it’s no more than theater got up by this boy,’ said one of the cardinals, getting up.

‘Please sit down, Cardinal, don’t get excited. We have to think calmly about all this. How do you think that something shown on television could be a set-up? The program the boy was interviewed on is a serious one. I don’t think they would allow anything like that,’ retorted another cardinal who was seated beside the Pope.

‘And what if the people that boy said he had healed were his accomplices? How can we be sure?’ responded the first cardinal, and the muttering began again.

‘Gentlemen, gentlemen, calm down. I beg you, remain calm,’ said a third cardinal.

‘Brother, how can we explain the healing of that girl? We sent an investigator who confirmed that the child was really tetraplegic. And what if the boy is really telling the truth and he is truly a clone of Jesus?’ wondered another who was seated further to the rear.

‘Brothers, there is nothing in our documents to suggest that there might have been any trace of DNA in the chalice used by Jesus. We know that Jesus’ blood was collected in the wooden chalice, but even if it had spilt through some crack, it would still have been impossible to conserve the DNA,’ said one of the priests who was there.

‘To tell the truth, brother, that is not absolutely so,’ replied the Pope. ‘This fact isn’t known to you, but we have in our possession the DNA of Jesus.’

Everyone in the room was silent and frightened.

‘Could Your Holiness explain that?’

‘Do you remember that we managed to collect a fraction of the DNA of Jesus on one of the splinters of the cross, which has been in our possession for centuries?’ replied the Pope.

‘Yes, but the DNA extracted was partial. The chain was broken.’

‘That is so. But do you remember that we recovered the spear of destiny, that was in Hitler’s collection, after his death? It was left to us in a soldier’s will.’

‘We remember that, but no DNA was found on the spear.’

‘You are wrong, DNA was found. I too was unaware of this until I was ordained. It has been kept secret. Luckily the spear was very well preserved by the people who had possession of it over the centuries. On its handles some designs are carved and in the carvings we collected samples of Jesus’ DNA. The DNA was also partial, but by uniting the chains we obtained a complete one,’ said the Pope, and the news made everyone in the hall very excited.

‘But, Your Holiness, how could this be kept from us? This is an outrage. We should have access to this information,’ said one of the cardinals in amazement.

‘Calm yourself, brother, this information is very dangerous. If what we learnt from the DNA was generally known, we should have a lot of explaining to do.’

‘And what was discovered in the DNA, Holiness?’

‘My brothers, we learnt that the DNA we found is not human, nor belonging to any race known on this planet,’ said the Pope, causing more uproar in the hall.

‘Then those documents that we keep so well concealed about the origin of Jesus are actually true? Jesus is a being from another world?’

‘True, brother. The interpretation given to the secret documents, which were nearly destroyed, was right. Jesus is not of this world. And if that were to become public knowledge nowadays, they would say that Jesus is an alien or something of the sort. That would put the Holy Church at risk,’ explained the Pope; and then one of the cardinals began to speak.

‘Excuse me for interrupting, Your Holiness. Even if DNA was found inside the Holy Grail, it seems unlikely that at the time the boy was conceived anyone would have been able to clone a being with DNA which doesn’t even belong to this world. Man only succeeded in cloning a mammal in 1996.’

‘The brother is correct. And for this reason I believe that this boy is a fraud,’ concluded the Pope. ‘Now we have to find a way of discrediting him, or else the Church may suffer harm.’

‘Holy Father, our problem is solved. All we have to do it to tell the world that we have the DNA of Jesus in our possession and confront the boy with it. Make him undergo a test and this will prove he is a fake,’ one cardinal proposed.

‘And what if the boy agrees to take the test? The world will know that Jesus’ DNA isn’t human,’ retorted another.

‘I don’t think the boy will accept. He won’t want to run the risk of being discredited. He will invent some excuse, saying that he doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone, as various fraudsters we know about have done over the centuries when they were put to the test,’ the cardinal who had proposed the test answered back.

‘It is a very good idea, brother. In any case, we can insist on confidentiality from the people that do the DNA test. We will include in the contract that the laboratory may divulge only whether the DNA is the same as the boy’s or not, nothing more,’ said the Pope.

‘But, Your Holiness, the press will say that the DNA in our possession isn’t that of Jesus.’

‘Before we hand over the sample of DNA for the test, we will announce how it came into our possession and we will let the scientific community, without analyzing it, certify what we have and how we came by it,’ answered another cardinal.

‘It’s settled, then. It’s been announced that tomorrow the boy will be back on television. Get in touch with the producers of the program and tell them that we want to appear live, by video-conference, to make the proposal to the boy. But don’t let anyone know in advance, or he’ll be able to prepare for it. Father Vitorio, you will be responsible for the matter and you will be the one to speak live on the program. Keep me informed of everything that happens and tomorrow, after the transmission, we will meet again here in this hall,’ decreed the Pope. After giving the instructions he got up and left. After he had gone, tumult reigned again in the great hall.

Cardinals Felix and Everaldo, the two members of the Illuminati, looked at each other and exchanged smiles. They had got the Pope to adopt their plan and they were sure the boy would be discredited, just as the grand master of the Illuminati desired. The latter still had no idea of their plan, having merely ordered the men to do everything in their power, without specifying what this should be.
