Gene study suggests that the Native Americans came from Siberia. The Sumerians had come originally possibly from Southern Siberia where much of their mythology can be traced to,and their language and culture was superimposed on the Semitic language and culture. Thus we see that mankind is one family. We are all connected, all related. Whatever continents our ancestors are from, we are a son or daughter of heaven, a child of the light. We are descended from those known as kings, wizards and gods or goddesses. Their blood is in our veins. Their wisdom and strength is within us.
One morning I awoke with a start. I had received a revelation in my sleep. I had discovered a similarity between the meanings of the names of the twelve tribes of Israel and those of the twelve apostles of Jesus. I realized that they defined a series of actions. I then associated them with the symbolic meanings of the twelve signs of the zodiac.
I later discovered many interesting developments, one of which was the history of The Lord’s Prayer. The Kaddish is a prayer found in the Jewish prayer service. Parts of the Kaddish date from the first century B.C.E. It is translated as follows:
“Our Parent which art in heaven, be gracious to us, O Lord, our God; hallowed be thy name, and let the remembrance of thee be glorified in heaven above and in the earth here below. Let thy kingdom reign over us now and forever. The holy men of old said, Remit and forgive unto all men whatsoever they have done against me. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil thing. For thine is the kingdom, and thou shalt reign in glory forever and for evermore.”
The beliefs of Akhenaten have been associated with The Teaching, of Khensu-hetep, called the Maxims of Ani. From the XVIII Dynasty of Egypt, (c. 1550-c. 1292 BCE).

Zoroaster quote
The twelve lines, as numbered, correspond to Jacob’s twelve sons (in order): Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulon, Joseph and Benjamin, who become the ancestors of twelve tribes, with the exception of Joseph (number 11),who gave to his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim for whom two of the tribes were named. I discovered that the meanings of their names correspond with the descriptions of the twelve signs of the Zodiac as a process of growth and development. My research revealed that in all ancient religions the number twelve is applied, which relates to the twelve signs of the zodiac. The Sumerians in Mesopotamia developed their Zodiac based on twelve heavenly bodies named after the gods. Sumerian and other ancient governments always composed of twelve people. The twelve tribes of Israel were named after the 12 sons of Jacob. Horus, Osiris, Mithras and Jesus, among others, each had 12 disciples. The prominence of the number 12 implies that the story is an astrological allegory. Moreover, the twelve signs of the zodiac symbolically align with the twelve levels of awareness.
