Rome, 410 AD
The Father displayed the image of a man onscreen, and then spoke, “It was time to bring my good servant Amos back into the equation. It was time to weaken the Roman Empire. To teach mighty Rome a spiritual lesson on karma. Time to get back what was stolen from Jerusalem, and recover a portion of the Holy Grail. It was time to show Rome that the Jewish God was not dead, as they had perceived. Therefore the God of Abraham, myself, had something to say about it.”
“Let me outline how this happened.”
“The Visigoths were a Germanic tribe which settled on the outskirts of the Danube River. An agricultural community, only interested in keeping to themselves. With the occasional trade to Rome. They weren’t looking for enemies, only to settle peacefully in an area where they could apply their agricultural trades. Although they were mighty warriors, they weren’t looking to pick a fight. They were first and foremost, farmers. Only interested in keeping their sovereignty.
“They migrated to the Danube about a century earlier. Like many Germanic tribes of that time period, they were seeking a place for their tribe to settle. The Franks, the Vandals, the Lombards, and others were also looking into the same territory. These Germanic tribes would live somewhat peaceably until they all encountered an invasion from the east. The Huns were entering into Europe from Asia. And this tribe would unsettle everything on the continent.
“With the Huns to one side of them, and the Roman Empire on the other, the Visigoths were in a tough spot. What they’d say on earth as between a ‘rock and a hard place.’ So they decided to head to the southeast and carve out a different territory for themselves. After numerous battles, they succeeded. And were given some property on the other side of the Danube.
“They were given land by the Romans under the stipulation that they were to serve the Roman army against the numerous invasions which were occurring at this time period. Especially the invasions coming from the Huns of the east. The Roman Empire took advantage of this agreement, using the Visigoths as their ‘cannon fodder.’ Placing them in the front lines of battles, time and again.
“Meanwhile, the Romans weren’t honoring their end of the agreement. They only allowed a percentage of the Visigoths into their empire. Leaving many on the other side of the Danube River. Which left them vulnerable to attacks by the Huns and other tribes of the area.
“Into the midst of all this, I sent in my beloved servant Amos. A soul who had not incarnated into the flesh since his life as Philip. He came into this life as a man named Alaric. And once again, as Amos is prone to do, he upset the balance of everything.”
The viewer showed the image of the Visigoth named Alaric. Dressed in Roman armor. Tall, red haired, handsome, and muscular. Alaric looked the image of a warlord. The Father looked at Alaric and resumed his discussion, “Alaric was trained to be a Roman soldier. He was courageous, and a genius at military strategy. With all of his inward talent, he quickly rose through the Roman ranks.”
“Until one time, Alaric was passed up for promotion in favor of a more politically connected man. This act would lead to many consequences.”
“You allowed the other man to be promoted over Alaric. So that he could become upset, and alter history, didn’t you?” the Mother of all things asked the Father.
“Once again, nothing gets by you does it?” asked the Father in return.
“Not much,” said the Mother, grinning.
The Father smiled back and said, “As our dear Mother has pointed out, I allowed Alaric to be bypassed for promotion, knowing what it would do to his psyche. You see, the Soul of Amos could never tolerate something as this. For he knew deep within himself that there was no better battlefield commander in all of history. For Amos had been Abraham, Moses, David, Gaius Gracchus, and other great battlefield commanders. He knew he was being slighted. Instead of stewing over it, Amos, who in this life was Alaric, did something about this perceived insult. He convinced his people that it was time to wage war upon mighty Rome herself. The Visigoths agreed, and put Alaric in command of their army.”
“It was an opportune time for him to do so. The Romans to the north were tied up with the Franks, and the Vandals. So instead of joining into their melee, Alaric would lead the Visigoths to the South, and into Italy. He would bypass the fighting to the north, and challenge the Romans on their home turf. Alaric figured that Italy was sweet pickings for an invasion. And that he would be the man whom would bring Rome to her knees. So great was his ambition. While the Romans were tied up with other barbarian tribes, Alaric would make a bold move.
“In 408 AD, Alaric made his advance. He mustered up his people, and led them southward into Italy. Gathering up slaves and stragglers along the way to add to his already enormous army. Winning battle after battle, until finally reaching the outskirts of a petrified Rome.
“The eternal city of Rome was well defended with its high walls, and mighty gates. There was no way the Visigoths were going to defeat the Romans fighting them head on. Therefore Alaric settled his army in for a lengthy siege. After eighteen months, Rome finally fell into the arms of Alaric and his Visigoths. By eighteen months, the Romans were starving, and on their knees. Begging for mercy.
“What happened next is what is known as karma. What Rome had done unto Jerusalem, was now being done unto Rome. With the exception that it was the Visigoths, and not the Jews, who were doling out the punishment on a corrupt Rome. But the point of the story is that as Rome gave, so did it receive.”
“Alaric basically starved the Romans into submission. Removing their supplies for a lengthy period of time. By the time the Romans threw open their mighty gates, theirs was a population of hunger. Reduced to cannibalism, they were ready to barter their souls away to the Visigoths, just to be able to eat.
“This was a grave mistake by Rome.”
The viewer followed along the Father’s story of the fall of Rome. It showed many images of the Roman population hungry, and on the edge of madness after such a lengthy siege. Destitute and without hope, Rome flung open its gates to the invaders.
The Father told his story as his viewer stayed in sequence with his story, “What happened next was a sea of carnage. The Visigoths entered Rome with vengeance on their minds, for the many mistreatments received over the years from the empire. They slaughtered man, woman, and child. The elderly and the young were not spared. This went on for three days, and then the Visigoths mercifully left.”
“Besides reducing the Roman population, they also reduced Rome’s great wealth that it had accumulated throughout the centuries. Among those treasures were the Menorah, the Mercy Seat, the Visionary Table, and all the other sacred objects that Rome had lifted from Jerusalem in 70 AD.
“The priceless sacred objects that the Visigoths removed from Rome is the greatest treasure ever accumulated on the planet. Besides stealing from the Jews in Judea, the Romans had stolen away two thirds of the wealth of the known world. It took them centuries to reach this amount of treasure. It would take Alaric 72 hours to remove it from them.
“Once Alaric had finished loading up the vast spoils of war onto his wagons, he and his people left the city of Rome. Much to the relief of the local population.”
“The Roman Empire would never be the same. They would never recover from the sacking of their capitol city. All their wealth taken from them. What Alaric started, the Vandals would finish a few decades later. The fall of the empire complete. Thus would begin what is known as ‘the dark ages’ of human history.”
The viewer then showed a large funeral procession. Many peoples gathered to celebrate the life of their leader. The Visigoths showing their respects for Alaric. The Father spoke, “Alaric then led his people to the south of Gaul. There they would settle into what is now known as southern France, and almost all of Spain. A huge tract of land that their King had delivered to them. Once this was accomplished, the soul known as Amos, who then was Alaric, returned home to me.”
“But before he did so, he built a magnificent castle to house their mighty treasure they had taken from the Roman Empire. In this castle, Alaric built many safeguards for his treasure.”
“King Alaric had his engineers devise many different trap doors, and secret passageways which would eventually lead to the treasure, far underneath his castle. He didn’t want to take any chances that another people would claim the treasure of the Visigoths.
“Alaric did such a wonderful job of hiding his treasure that it still lies in the same place where he put it for safekeeping.”
This was news to the angelic host, which thought this valuable and sacred treasure was lost to the ages. Either melted down to make gold coins, and just hidden away and long since forgotten.
The Father of all things interrupted their thoughts, “One man currently on planet earth knows the exact location of this treasure. There are others who know that the treasure exists, but cannot find it. Only he knows. And he is the one who is authoring this book for me.”
“The problem is that there are very powerful groups on earth who have been looking for this treasure for a very long time. They know it exists, but cannot locate it. They’ve got bits and pieces of information about the treasure, but not the whole picture. These powerful groups also know that this one man knows. And they are keeping a very close eye on him.
“Yet we have ourselves a game of cat and mouse. He knows that they know that he knows where the treasure lies. For my servant, the Angel Samuel has told him so. And made this man very aware of their presence.”
All angelic eyes were then set upon the Angel in the audience known as Samuel. He only smiled to them, and then said, “Who am I to disagree with our Father?”
The Father of all things also smiled and said, “The Angels Michael and Samuel have been very busy indeed with our case of the Holy Grail. Also very busy protecting this man of ours.”
He looked at the Mother and asked, “Where was I in our story?”
She winked at him and said, “The burial of the treasure, and the death of Alaric.”
“Yes that’s correct,” he said. He then continued on with the story, “I think it’s time to fast forward ourselves to another life of the Soul of Amos. A man by the name of Clovis.”
