The Church Of The Illuminated Monkey

The Church Of The Illuminated Monkey Dedicated to spreading the word of The Illuminated Monkey. The Church Of The Illuminated Monkey is based on the research of its founder, D.A. Boles. Exodus 33:3).

Beginning his studies at an early age, Boles attempted to understand how the wide cultural and social chasm between the two fields of thought that guided Creationism and Evolution, came to encompass our civilization. Being raised in the sixties with a deep Church Of Christ influence, partly aligned also by indoctrination into the Catholic Church at a later age of youth, Boles began reading about B

uddhism, Zoroasterism, Jainism and Hindu faiths, as well as those of primitive peoples living long before these faiths. Whenever he could find books on them, which were rare, Boles read on any culture he could find to further his understanding of the pivotal questions; Creationism or Evolution. Finding huge gaps that existed in both theories he sought to explain archeological and anthropological finds in the world that were in direct conflict with both arguments. Also, why was it that no one could explain the “missing link”, much less find it, that man supposedly evolved from. Boles continued his studies into adulthood and began searching in earnest to find an answer to the problems he encountered with both Theology and Evolution in his youth. In his early twenties, he discovered the Enuma Elish, the ancient Sumerian creation story detailing the Anunnaki, people of the 12th planet, which discusses the periodic return to our solar system of a large, red planet called Nibiru. Nibiru was home to a race of war-prone hominids referred to in ancient texts by either their earlier Sumerian name of Anunnaki or their later Hebrew name of Nefilim. The Anunnaki are described as handsome, well developed human look-a-likes who are physically larger than humans; averaging 10-15 feet tall. The Anunnaki were technologically capable of interplanetary space travel when they first arrived on Earth nearly 450,00 years ago. Nibiru was called the 12th Planet by the ancients because it is a member of our solar system (ancients included the Moon and Sun as planets). However, unlike the other planets in our solar system, which are in a singular orbit around the sun, Nibiru is in a binary orbit between two suns: our sun and another cold, unlit sun, far out in our galaxy. Nibiru returns to our solar system approximately every 3,600 years. Nibiru is sometimes referred to as the red comet or red star in some ancient texts. The 3,600-year periodic cycle of Nibiru is called a Shar, or Sar, by Sumerian historians. While a single shar occupies a time span of a little more than 3,600 years on Earth, it is equivalent to one year on the planet Nibiru. All told, ancient Sumerian clay tablets and cylinder seals record a total period of occupation/visitation by the Anunnaki of over 124 Shar's (446,400 earth years). Boles discovered compelling historical evidence that the Anunnaki actively participated in the affairs of mankind up to the final destruction of the great city of Sumer in Mesopotamia, about 2,000BC. According to Sumerian texts, the Anunnaki's original objective in coming to Earth was to mine for Gold; an element they atomically dispersed into their atmosphere in order to prevent Nibiru’s core-produced heat from dissipating excessively into space. Since 99% of Nibiru's orbital cycle is too far from our sun to benefit from its heat, it has to retain its internally generated heat in order to survive. The Anunnaki first extracted gold from the waters of the Persian Gulf area, but later switched to land mining in South Africa and other locations due to the greater abundance of gold ore found there. There are many stories that the Anunnaki had access to a plant (or tree), native to Nibiru, that prevents normal aging and bodily deterioration. Sumerian texts referred to it as the Tree of Life. Later, the Bible referred to it as Knowledge of The Tree of Life, in the Garden of Eden story. Only Anunnaki royalty had privileged access to the Tree of Life (sometimes called Ambrosiac in Sumerian texts). They absorbed this substance into their bodies by taking baths soaked with this life-extending plant. This special bath water was the origin of the story of The Fountain of Youth. Because of this life-extending plant, Anunnaki royalty enjoyed extremely long lives. There are many references in ancient texts that reveal that some members of the highest echelons of the royal pantheon participated intermittently throughout the entire 446,000 years of the Anunnaki's occupation of Earth. The last time the 12th Planet passed by the Earth was during the time of the Exodus from Egypt. In fact, the upheavals, cataclysms, and fear generated by the near passage of the 12th Planet allowed the Israeli slaves the opportunity to escape from the grip of Pharoah's troops who had become completely overwhelmed by panic and confusion. Red dust (iron oxide), along with larger chunks of debris, traveling in the trailing wake of the fast moving 12th Planet rained down onto the Earth's atmosphere during a close passage. This red dust landing in water accounted for the Biblical account of the rivers running red with blood. The Bible, along with other cultural stories, also refers to fierce lighting storms and the red particle debris "reddening the face of men”. The nearing passage of planet Nibiru created an electrical/magnetic storm of an intensity which only occurs during a close passage of the 12th Planet when it reacts with carbon materials thrown into the atmosphere by volcanic action. This produces a type of sticky carbohydrate substance in the atmosphere. In some areas, this substance precipitates to the ground and is available as food if collected in the early, pre-dawn hours. When the substance falls on water, it appears whitish in color. Called Ambrosia in ancient texts (Greek), or Manna (in other texts), this carbohydrate material is the biblical reference to milk and honey ("Unto a land flowing with milk and honey". Boles continued with his studies, comparing ancient texts and cultural stories/myths around the globe and throughout the eras of man. In so doing he discovered the universal story of the “great flood” and the universal teachings that society can only advance through war, but in the end, he discovered war would always terminate the societies. Boles also discovered the obvious revelation when genetic comparisons came about that not only are we all closely interrelated, but there is a series of genes within some humans that do not correspond to our gene pool at all. In fact, it is nowhere to be found on earth at all. Where did this alien DNA come from and why do only a few humans have it? Gathering this information together he began to look at his youthful debates of Creationism versus Evolution in a new light. What if the academics of old totally missed the mark with Man evolving from the Apes? There was a bit of scientific evidence to prove such a theory, yet those theories that were put forth had many holes in them that could not be explained. Similarly, what if the early religious scholars had equally missed the mark by stating Man was created by God, with the Earth and the Universe created in its entirety within seven days (six if you do not count His day of rest). Looking at the cultural stories, myths, and writings in chronological order, Boles found that they all supported one another. In fact, they sprang from one another, each culture embellishing the other culture’s stories and myths to fit their own needs. What if the Enuma Elish, the oldest of them all, was right, and all that followed were advanced adaptations of the story that grew and morphed into the many vast and distinct cultural stories and myths that we have today?

A Spiritual Field Guide for the Serious Seeker.

Spiritual seekers who want rigor without dogmatism; interfaith practitioners; academics interested in consciousness studies; people exploring embodied spirituality with intellectual honesty. In a marketplace flooded with either fundamentalist certainty or cynical relativism, this book offers a genuine third path—serious seeking spiritualism with playful humility.

What if the world's great religions weren't competitors but voices in a conversation about the same ultimate mystery?

In this sweeping, intellectually rigorous yet playfully humble exploration, the author invites readers to swing through the forest of human spirituality with the curiosity and wonder of an illuminated monkey—taking all traditions seriously while claiming certainty about none.

From the astronomical precision of the Dogon and Aboriginal peoples to the non-dual mysticism of Hindu Advaita Vedanta; from the rigorous arguments of medieval theology to the cutting-edge neuroscience of consciousness and psychedelic experience, A Journey Through Divine Mysteries weaves together comparative religion, philosophy, deep history, and embodied practice into a coherent vision of spiritual seeking.

This is not a book offering easy answers. Instead, it proposes that the search itself—the willingness to honor multiple truths, embrace uncertainty, and engage both mind and spirit—is where transformation happens. Whether you're grappling with the problem of evil, exploring consciousness and mystical experience, seeking ecological spirituality, or designing a personal practice aligned with your deepest values, here, you'll find intellectual rigor alongside practical guidance.

Ideal for spiritual seekers, interfaith practitioners, academics, and anyone hungry for a spirituality that is both serious and playful, both ancient and contemporary.

The Eternal Question

Throughout history, humanity has created diverse religions and conceptions of divinity to understand "The Great Mystery" of life. Is there a God? One? Several? Debates on this question are ancient. Yet despite centuries of inquiry, more questions remain than answers. Who is right? Who is wrong? The answer to this question has motivated countless wars, massacred millions, and decimated entire cultures. One constant remains: across every culture and
religious tradition, humans believe in a higher power.

The Church of the Illuminated Monkey is a rigorous examination of these deceptively simple questions of God, gods, and religions.

I have worked for nearly 37 years to complete this book and I am getting closer. A 98,000 word hermeneutical thesis on ancient religions and cosmology. Nearly finished with it, now I need to figure the best way to put it on the web. I will take individual chapters and create YouTube video. A lot of work but it will be nice to have such a complete collection of reference materials.

The Church Of The Illuminated Monkey teaches religions and philosophies from ancient times. It is telling to see the attack of Iran by Israel and the United States was brought forth immediately before Purim. Little is remembered these days of ancient times, though in the mid-east it is seldom forgotten. Take some time and check out Purim, and the story of Esther, if you do not already know. It will explain a lot. It might even be - Illuminating.

Purim (Hebrew: פּוּרִים Pūrīmⓘ, lit. 'lots'[1][a]) is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people by Queen Esther from annihilation at the hands of an official of the Achaemenid Empire named Haman, as it is recounted in the Book of Esther.
