The AMO theory (standing for Akhnaton=Moses=Oedipus) was presented in New York in March 1999. It rehabilitates and reveals the historicity of Hermes Thoth - the 'Triple Master' also known as Trismegistus, who was an important legend and figure in Antiquity, Europe and the Western World until the moment when his memory was repressed after the Renaissance.

Trismegistus displays a Memory process which used multiple names for remembering the ancient pharaoh Akhnaton, crossing over three thousand years of repeated censorship and deletion from official records. Although paradoxical, memory is enforced by such repressions - comparable with a vaccine effect - preparing for the moment when time is ready to use historical evidences with reliability. Hence, the overall experience teaches us how memory normally functions.

In respect with a current questioning, regarding the way in which the authenticity of facts may be guarantied, the term 'conspiracy' designates the fate which universally strikes any vital information at a collective scale. Mankind's awareness is conditioned by a two pole based structure, between Power and Ownership. It implements our knowledge with a continuous resource of Paranoia and Conspiracy (respectively in individual and collective perspective). Concurrently, Civilization is doomed to elaborate an antidote or a ruse against that Death Drive which threatens Truth and even reality itself.

Our perceptions, as well as any historical fact and event, always begin on a primal, yet fragile and contestable reality, which can always be denied by a lie. We call this Primary Process. In order to create an antidote against the Conspiracy opportunity, our Collective psychology implements each one of us with a Psyche which is loaded with a virtual reflection of these suspected facts that memory seeks to guarantying as real. This set of images and memories (Psyche) constitutes a virtual reality, that we call a Secondary Process, which is an attracting decoy for all Conspiracies. They can there be denounced, treated and eventually neutralized. Once so immunized, Knowledge is set to retrieve the historical fact (Primary Process) anew and to discriminate what is Real.

The career of Trismegistus exemplifies this process. During the first 1500 years of Christianity, it was a memory, a legend of a Pharaoh who had founded Monotheism and initiated Moses and Orpheus. At a certain point, during the 16th century, European scholars thought that he was Moses himself (instead of his Mentor). In other words, this Secondary Process condensed into the form of a single 'Moses-Pharaoh'. A catastrophe resulted and could be observed. Eventually, by certain logical means, it was concluding in the discredit of Christianity. The Inquisition therefore attacked this legend, and repressed it.

Four centuries later, Egyptology has discovered a Pharaoh (Akhnaton) whose life and deeds match the legend of Trismegistus. As a matter of fact, it discovered also that as a Primary Process, it had been denied in its own time in a Conspiracy mode (by his Ramsessides successors 1200-1000 B.C.). Apparently, Trismegistus constituted therefore a secondary virtual target upon which discredit and falses accusations of forgery (1400-1600 A.D.) could be experienced again. When, thirdly, Egyptology (1900-2000 A.D.) retrieves anew the evidential fact (Akhnaton, Primary Process) our time is thus informed, immunized and ready for overthrowing the Conspiracy puzzle.

In fact, during the 20th century, Egyptology has gradually (Sigmund Freud, then Ahmed Osman) condensed the identity of Akhnaton into a single 'Moses-Pharaoh' and eventually, by certain logical means, concludes in the discredit of Christianity (Ahmed Osman in 'Out Of Egypt' shows that intelligent discernment is able to interpret the historical facts in the case of Jesus, as the phenomenon known in Psychiatry as hallucination, which would have resurrected the suppressed traumatic figure of Tutankhamon. Further describing claims that this 'hallucination' as being exploited by forgery, by Roman politicians for mass manipulation.

To understand better this third Conspiracy scene, we review the data which has been gained when Trismegistus was the alibi. The resulting discredit of Christianity during the Renaissance and in the present time is identical, though, with the experience of the past, we find even more information in the full Secondary Conspiracy scene: the Renaissance misused the entire Greek dimension of Orpheus in Trismegistus - thus making no less than a third of the general civilization missing! When we superimpose this observation onto present scene, we notice that this omission is also repeated today.

This is where the 'vaccine' function operates, for in the meantime (between the Renaissance the current Egyptology), the inconclusive Orpheus has been re-inforced with the data of Oedipus (Immanuel Velikovsky). Noticing that Ahmed Osman has severely ignored this Greek element, we can interpret and address the Akhnaton-Moses conspiracy against Christianity with the full identification of the Triple Master Akhnaton-Moses-Oedipus.

In conclusion, the data known as the Oedipus Complex allow to denounce and will allow to treat the form of Conspiracies which were chronically attached to the memory of Akhnaton. Secondly, in seeing that the compulsive attacks aims repeatedly towards Christianity, it is a good argument for suggesting that Christianity was the real process meant by Atonism (Primary Process) as well as Hermetism (Secondary Process).

The notion of a preparation (Atonism) of Christianity and its secondary support by Trismegistus is a classic view of Hermetism - evidently it does not identify the true Christianity as the Vatican's conspiracy. On the opposite, it indicates that what is real in Christianity and the historicity of Jesus will be determined through the New Age movement, which in so many respects, looks like the contemporary form of Hermetism.
