About
I grew up in a large family where church wasn’t just a part of life. It was non-negotiable.
We attended a United Christian Missionary Baptist Church. My Sundays were structured around morning services, evening services, and Sunday school in between. I memorized the Easter and Christmas speeches. I attended Vacation Bible School every single year. I was baptized at a young age, and I was deeply entrenched in the Christian tradition.
But, I always had questions.
- Why do bad things happen to good people?
- Why doesn’t God just take out the Devil?
- Does “eternal life” really mean living forever?
I asked the questions. But the answers I received were never quite satisfactory.
When I left for college, I stepped away from the church. For the first time, I was interacting daily with people of entirely different faiths and belief systems. Muslims, Hindus, Catholics, and Mormons. It was all new to me, and it sparked a deep curiosity.
I started reading books like Conversations with God, and The Seat of the Soul. They offered me a completely different perspective on God, and on myself. My spiritual exploration expanded. I began to study yoga, astrology, astronomy, and Reiki Tummo.
The Bible eventually made its way back into my life, following a string of heated conversations about faith. The kind of conversations where two people are technically reading the same book, yet clearly, not reading the same text. Somewhere within that friction, the words started to read differently to me.
I began listening to lectures, and debates, by biblical scholars online. I was digging into the text as if it were a brand-new book.
I discovered that Paul’s letters were actually written first. That the Gospel of Mark was the foundational first gospel. And that Matthew and Luke copied heavily from it. I learned that the events described in Acts took place long before any of the gospels were actually penned.
The more I studied, the deeper the rabbit hole went.
I couldn’t believe what I was uncovering. The stories I had read at face value as a teenager suddenly revealed far deeper, structural meanings. The names on the page were no longer just names. They were deliberate literary instruments.
The material on this website is the direct result of that ongoing investigation. As you dive into the research presented here, I want to leave you with a piece of wisdom from my favorite movie of all time. It perfectly captures the essence of this journey.
“We are like drops in an endless ocean. Once we realize we are simultaneously the drop, and the ocean, enlightenment begins.”
Papers
The Revealing
Argues that Mark is a deliberately encoded two-level text: one narrative for general audiences, and a second argument — carried in proper-noun theology, structural word-play on the Hebrew root galal (Galilee, Gilgal, Golgotha, the rolling stone), and the reading-instruction of Mark 4:11 — aimed at an inner audience equipped to read it. Submitted for consideration to Dr. Bart D. Ehrman (UNC Chapel Hill), Dr. Richard Carrier (independent scholar), and Dr. James D. Tabor (UNC Charlotte).
The Serpent Bearer
Proposes that a single cosmological myth — encoded in the constellation Ophiuchus and the Scorpius corridor of the night sky — underlies the ritual origin of circumcision, the Garden of Eden narrative, and the Son of Man figure of Daniel 7 and the Parables of Enoch. Draws on Egyptology, archaeo-astronomy, and Second Temple Jewish literature to propose a unified reading across ritual, narrative, prophecy, and star lore.
Documentary
The Messianic Secret
A one-hour documentary in development with MythVision Podcast, narrated by Derek Lambert, based on the research in The Revealing. The film argues that Jesus's repeated commands to silence in Mark — the "Messianic Secret" named by William Wrede in 1901 — are not a theological puzzle but a deliberate literary setup: training the reader to notice repeated failure, so that when it finally resolves, the resolution is unmistakable.
Behind-the-scenes segments and production updates are posted on TikTok as they're released.
Ten times in the shortest gospel, Jesus does something impossible and gives one instruction. Say nothing. Tell no one. And ten times, a human being walks out and tells everyone. A healed leper broadcasts it until Jesus can no longer enter a town openly. A deaf man's crowd proclaims it all the more zealously, in the text's own words. The command fails every single time it is given to a person.
Then, on the last page, two women and a companion arrive at an empty tomb. A young man in white hands them the biggest announcement in the book. Go. Tell his disciples. And they run.
"And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid." — Mark 16:8
That is where the Gospel of Mark originally ended. Mid-silence. The oldest complete manuscripts we have stop right there… But the man who wrote this book left instructions for how to read it. They are still sitting in chapter four, where they have been for nineteen centuries. Use them, and the ending stops looking broken. It starts looking like a key turning in a lock.
