Of Truth as Related to Self and Society 2010 EDITION Part 3 Of Truth Part 3. End Notes: Item 1. The Egyptian “Book of the Dead” & “Gilgamesh Epic”
All ancient writings suffer deformity; changes result from human bias and translations of languages that don’t always have words of exact meaning. There is also strong possibility of Hebrew influence in Egypt.
For this reason we must always try to understand in light of intelligence and the nature of the creation itself.
In particular we must practice logical assembly of ideas. A good way to begin is to set your argument out in print and then bring its points to logical order.
Many will find, if honest in wanting to know themselves, that they have a lot of self-contradictions to sort out. This is because we tend to think in circles and do not realize that, when we rely on little understood ideas, it is more difficult to hold a firm line; we detour to keep within our comfort zone.
The New Testament updates the Old. The Old, corrupted by age and not adjusted for human advance, needs careful use for instruction but still provides elements of the Creator’s revelations to add weight and witness to the truth of life and for challenge to premature interpretations.
As shown, the act of creation must exist within laws! When the Creator decides to create universal order the Creator must accept the laws that bind order.
Ref: Matthew 5:18 “I tell you this: so long as heaven and earth endure, not a letter, not a stroke, will disappear from the Law until all that must happen has happened.”
Some things must be hidden from the intellectually developing human for similar reasons that children should not be exposed to knowledge of sex before they have the maturity to deal with it as part of their natural physical and intellectual growth.
Children believe ‘fairy’ stories and all manner of intellectual distortion. This has its place but when they naturally begin to understand realities they should not be encouraged to evade them.
Confusion corrupts logic and leads us to escape into drugs or entertainments. The Jig-Saw pieces of life have to fit the reality of truth’s order. Intellectual maturity does not need drama, lies, drugs or “miracles”.
The Egyptian Book of the Dead This also supports the Christian Testament with insight relevant today. While angels are often messengers to earth people it is now clear that they can be far less than Gods and far more than messengers. The heavenly host includes beings at many levels. It is now clear that all angels are not perfect and ego may tempt them to evil. As Jesus tells us: only God is truly good.
The Egyptian Book of the Dead, compared to The Book of Enoch, has few authoritative statements and has much more added by years of irrelevant emotional inclusions, such as tomb inscriptions and praise of deities created by human imagination.
Quotes from, The Egyptian Book of the Dead! Translations by T.G Allen, and by E.A. Budge.
Early Egyptians also knew of the universal God who created all things: TGA page 154: “I am Atum, who made the sky, who created what exists, who begat the gods; great God who came into being of himself.”
Page 89: “They are the drops of blood that dropped from the phallus of Re when he set about cutting himself. Then they became gods …They are Authority and Perception, who are in the train of their Father Atum daily.”
Here we see that the Creator had to perform an act of self-mutilation. The creation of humanity meant sharing of His intellectual self (Authority and Perception). This is significant for in our science we have not, so far as I know, analyzed intelligence to see its main components.
Life and creation, by their order, create “authority” (laws or principles) and “perception” (vision to see logical relationships) and understanding of complexities. Such insight is not part of public education today and I doubt present intellect understands itself to this extent.
Is our science today better able to express our privileged access to these abilities? Do we recognize that intelligence itself is a rare gift available only from our Creator?
In Egyptian our God is called Atum and the personification of Atum is Re. Our New Testament tells us: “When all things began, the Word already was. The word dwelt with God and what God was the Word was.” So does Re, in Egyptian, represent the ‘Word’?
Page 157: “My head [design] is Re, and the total (of me) is Atum.”
Page 160: I am Re, who came forth from the deep. (The God) is my Soul. I came into being of myself together with the deep and sky and earth in this my name … I am Atum, who came forth from the deep. His Soul goes forth in this sky … to this earth .. ‘Dying is my abomination; I enter not into the execution place of the Nether World.”
Of interest: Semihazah = Satan. Each culture has its own language. In Egyptian, Horus fought with Seth and defeated him. In the battle Horus receives a damaged eye while Horus snatches off the testicles of Seth.
The damage to the eye of Horus represents damage done by the mischief of the Watchers to the vision for earth’s human development while the damage to Seth represents deletion of his liberty to procreate greater harm. This battle, to be meaningful in its day, is described as physical but, as the contestants are immortal, it is spiritual.
This symbolizes the battle between good and evil. As witnessed with the “Book of Enoch” the rebellious angels were confined to earth. Egyptian and Sumerian writings illustrate events up to the destruction but not later, they show how quickly human desires reconstruct gods to their own liking.
We can now see that a number of groups escaped the destruction by flood, fire and earthquake; described by our “revised” Old Testament as flood only.
Old writings reveal a larger picture but after the flood, only the Hebrew Testament, confirms these as the chosen people.
The Gilgamesh Epic and Ancient Writings from India: These also bare witness to a catastrophic event and confirm that groups escaped the destruction of the Watchers Empire.
There are many cultural memories but two more quotes should suffice to confirm a real connection between ancient events and our present understanding.
The Sumerians are said to have been a dark-haired, non-Semitic people, but have folk memory of ark and flood similar to that of the Hebrew. We are told of a man warned by God to build an ark and in this instance the advice included the saving of crafts people as well as animals. This is reflected in crafts abilities of early Sumerians who built a city while early Hebrews were wandering herdsmen.
The Gilgamesh Epic seems no more than a novel though the leading character has serious connections and some descriptions relate too closely to Testament fragments to be ignored. Our reference is “The Gilgamesh Epic and Old Testament Parallels” by Alexander Heidel.
Gilgamesh was offspring of the Watchers (though ‘Watchers’ is a word not in the Sumerian translation). His personality fits the description of a strong, brash, giant living an earthy life.
His delight was to take each maiden of the city on her wedding night. Knowledge of the past is useful when we want to understand the present.
Page 85 tells us of the last days of the Sumerian homeland: “The Anunnaki (the judges of the underworld) raised torches; Lighting up the land with their brightness; The raging of Adad reached into heaven Turned into darkness all that was light. The land he broke like a pot The gods were terror stricken at the deluge. They fled (and) ascended to the heaven of Anu; The gods cowered like dogs (and) crouched in distress. Ishtar cried out like a woman in travail; The lovely voiced lady of the gods lamented: In truth, the olden times has turned to clay, Because I commanded evil in the assembly of the gods! How could I command (such) evil in the assembly of the gods; (How) could I command war to destroy my people, it is I who bring forth (these) my people! Like the spawn of fish they (now) fill the sea! The Anunnaki-gods wept with her; The gods sat bowed (and) weeping. The wind blew, the downpour, the tempest, the flood overwhelmed the land”.
The raising of torches from the underworld represents volcanic action. The turning of light into darkness indicates smoke, volcanic dust and cloud cover. The land broken like a pot shows earthquake activity. Ancient writings give witness to the same event described by people of different places and languages.
A History of Indian Philosophy, Pages 14-15, a time of re-settlement again confronts us. We are told parts of the Rig Veda may have been composed “before Aryan people entered the plains of India … they therefore reflect the civilization … before and after they came to India.” We are told of chariots and wagons, of cattle husbandry, agriculture, water canals, wood workers and delicate carvings. Ofmetal workers: smiths and potters continuing their trade: there is also plating, weaving and sewing. …
There is now acceptable evidence of the relevance of ancient knowledge, had it not been for the bias inserted by the rebel watchers this may well be now scientifically evaluated and accepted.
The story of Adam and seduction of Eve reflects the general story of humanity – the story of our trial by temptation, our fall and of our rescue; this, all at the same time, being woven into progressive development of our human intellectual potential.
It is time to accept our true nature – time to acknowledge that the testaments were originally “From Almighty God”. We are not playthings of chance. We are designed by intelligence for intelligent achievement. We are offered a place in creation!
Let us apologize to the intellect that created us; wipe the slate clean; rebuild community in accord with the truth of a humanity we are now able to appreciate.
We are on the verge of our human future, all we need is enough faith in truth to step out of past confusions and give trust to our intellectual spirit.
Our world is in a sick and dangerous state; our human cultures are filled with inhumanity, fear, despair and corruption. We need to use our creative intelligence for survival, not waste our opportunity.
Note: The Great Whore:Revelation 17-18. Represents commerce – the corrupt and usurious banking system and the beastly side of mankind – the seven hills are seven ancient powers now in secret alliance to create private world government – they are the seven thunders that answered Satan’s shout and may be found in places of financial power today; do not be surprised if they are disguised.
We now return to our times.
Of Truth Part 3: End Notes: Item 2. Our times: revelations both beyond and within human ability! Matthew 24:22 “If that time of troubles were not cut short, no living thing could survive…”
The Testaments give valuable guidance but it is time for humanity to become adult – for mankind’s metamorphosis to true humanity and to make responsible use of our given intellectual ability. We now know a lot about ourselves and it is time to discriminate between the truth of our being and the corruption to which we are tempted.
If we take the Testaments without faith in truth, we have to believe the creator to be generous; demanding; understanding arrogant; brilliantly intelligent and extremely stupid – brutal; gentle, etc. A picture that, of course, reflects our own erratic behavior.
Another hint from Revelations The Revelation of John 11: 7-11: (but read 11: 3-12) “And I have two witnesses … dressed in sackcloth … But when they have completed their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will wage war upon them and defeat and kill them. Their corpses will lie in the streets of the great city, whose name in allegory is Sodom or Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. For three days and a half, men from every people and tribe, every language and nation, gaze upon their corpses and refuse them burial. All men on earth gloat over them, make merry, and exchange presents; for these two prophets were a torment to the whole earth. But at the end of the three days and a half the breath of life from God came into them; they stood up on their feet to the terror of all who saw it. Then a loud voice was heard speaking to them from heaven, which said, ‘Come up here!’ …”
Let us not be petty about semantics; at heart I think you will recognize the two prophets as the Old and New Testaments. Now dead in the eyes of authorities (overcome by worship of our bestial animal bodies) these are given lip service by law, church and parliaments but no one dares give them burial.
In forced gaiety, we devote ourselves to pleasures of the flesh and spirit, shamed by behavior, torments conscience.
The two Testaments, lying dead in the streets of the bestial city of usury (The Great Whore) wait on human intellect devoted to truth to reveal the intelligent Creator and thereby to justify them.
When revealed as true prophets these have completed their work. Their justification will terrify many but humanity may then step out of the darkness to live in accord with its potential. No longer will we mistake deceit for guidance but, knowing our true selves, we will act in life’s harmony.
When we accept the truth we will acknowledge that the original testaments were “From Almighty God”. Though we will still have challenges to face – intellectual development to accomplish – our ultimate purpose will reveal itself as our eyes are opened.
A life’s Work Quote: "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: and a People who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." James Madison (Former US President) 1822.
I am not here to give sight to those too egotistic to open their eyes; or to bash into submission those who will never admit they are in error even where the cost is life; their own or their loved. I am not here to nurse-maid those who think the world owes them a living nor beg the corrupt to change their ways. The quality of life, the corruption some decide to live with, is their choice, their concern, their responsibility.
I cannot discriminate; I do not know you; but if longing for truth is within, no matter how deeply buried, it will surface. Though many may strive to maintain their mythical ways and worship their mythical ideology to the end, I am not one of the little scouts who were having so much trouble helping the old lady across the street – because she did not want to go across the street! I am not here to save you but, to help those who care, be active in their own salvation.
When young I sought to do independent research. However as time and experience progressed, it became obvious that I must also stand on the shoulders of others. That is where a sound foundation proved essential. One needs to know enough of truth that truth becomes recognizable to the extent that useful decisions may be made without losing sight of the need to avoid seduction.
The quote from Gramsci is convenient. “The Italian Marxist thinker Antonio Gramsci, while in Fascist imprisonment, developed the concept of cultural hegemony: ‘control people’s minds, and their hearts and hands will follow’.
Gramsci explained how one dominant class can establish its control over others through ideological dominance. Whereas orthodox Marxism explains social structure as shaped by economic forces, Gramsci adds the crucial cultural dimension. He showed how, once ideological authority (“or cultural hegemony”) is established, the use of covert violence to impose control can become superfluous.” Comment by Henry C K Liu.
We believe that to be communist, but in understanding we see communism and capitalism are just two wings of the same bird. Worship of the physical body allows the dominant class control!
Though the method is not new its clear public expression is. That Gramsci had revealed this ‘ideological control’ as a Marxist doctrine makes it easier for me but, despite all evidence, it is still difficult to convince people that they are enslaved by ideology and hypnotized by fear of self-responsibility.
Most still cannot see that Capitalism and Communism are a team representing elitist rule by deceit, theft and trickery though both use seduction, and bribe with animal delights.
Gramsci did not discover new secrets; despots instinctively follow that line but now, with scientific help, people are more effectively controlled by beliefs.
If the human spirit is not dedicated to truth, then progressive enlightenment does not progress to our benefit and, deformed by misuse, the result is anti-social behavior. Whether called capitalist or socialist, populations turn to self-destruction and it is irrelevant to the outcome that those starting a movement might have had sincerely good intentions.
War against Humanity: revelation. Matthew 24:8 “With all these things the birth-pangs of a new age begin.”
We may be ashamed to face it but there is, buried in scripture, far too much revelation that couldn’t be of human origin but human voices may help us see where we are, where we are going and how we may change this procession.
Roman historian Livy: 59BC –17AD; quote: “The struggle between parties is and will always remain, a worse misfortune for the people than war, famine, plague or other manifestation of God’s wrath.” EQ.
The shoulders we stand on carry the wisdom of ages. But our problems began with the “Watchers” and progress was even more slyly sabotaged than seen by W. Churchill below. We now know more of the New World Order, more of social sciences, more of the potential for genetically modified diseases, more of what is at stake, and more of the lengths to which the arrogant and self-centered will go.
Quote: "From the days of Sparticus, Wieskhopf, Karl Marx, Trotsky, Rosa Luxembourg, and Emma Goldman, this world conspiracy has been steadily growing. This conspiracy played a definite recognizable role in the tragedy of the French revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century. And now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and have become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire”. E.Q. Comment by Winston Churchill to the London Press (1922):
We must not forget the “party System” is their most effective trick; ending it is our first step to freedom. The party system allowed THEM to choose OUR representatives. As reported, it allowed these to influence compulsory education and use law to aid progress of pornographic corruption – it allowed every group and organization (from “Parents & Citizens” to “Country Women’s” Associations – from trade unions to the strongest religions) to be infiltrated by the arrogant (control-freak) type of person; these being aided by free publicity and friendly advice on winning votes. It allowed change of girl-child life attitudes by encouraging (among other tricks) their play change from baby dolls to teenage sex symbols as guide to adulthood: “Barbie” dolls idealized in image of “Street-walker” ladies.
Yes it did allow and encourage every corrupting influence (great and small) for the breakdown of HUMAN VALUES while PRETENDING TO DEFEND THEM.
Barry Cohen, news columnist and ex-Australian M.P. 4/7/1995; quote: “Only a minuscule proportion of the people are members of political parties and, as these parties are controlled by an elite, it ensures the decision as to who represents us in parliament is in the hands of very, very few.” and: “ …all bar a handful of senior ministers learned quickly that if they wanted something special to occur then there were key people in the P.M’s office who had to be convinced first,” … “Some will holler that they are merely advisers putting forward a range of options from which the government may choose. That’s what they should be doing but many go well beyond that.” EQ.
The parties compete in the game of “serve the power” with spite and jealousy against each other; usurious elitists control both (or all) effective parties and disguise growing violence with claims to defend us against problems they themselves create.
Globalism is a criminal culture U.S. Congressman Larry P. McDonald, (1976): Quote: "The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism & Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent." E.Q.
Globalism is about control not about banning the honest from parliaments; dissenting voice gives appearance of honesty to comfort those deceived.
This is not a war of soldiers; this war is fought with mind medications, drugs, entertainment: nutrition’s stripped foods. It is fought in schoolrooms; churches; on farms. It is a war of sickness, cancers, heart attacks; of ‘dumbing’ down to ignorance with flashy junk education to undermine reading ability and sabotage learning. It is war where imports bypass national standards to undermine health.
It is a war fought with lies, deceptions and bank-loans; with advertising, social fashions, and mass sex seduction; with lies propaganda and gradual corruption; with creating poverty and despair. It is fought with torments such as fear and shame. Unlike normal war this attacker pretends friendship – and offers fun, love and wealth, to seduce the human spirit – this is the ultimate genocide.
Mind controls strengthen by the day! Human, national and international problems, multiply by the week. Led by politics, standards fall and business and family morals disappear. The rich grow richer, as gullibility accommodates bigger lies.
Creation belief is the base for human behavior! Deform it and we lose our measure of life; our vision; morals; justice; and future.
As an unfinished creation we, in test of fulfilling the purpose of our design, had to see hell through the fires of temptation; learn from our mistakes; discover and master conflicts in heart between the beast in our bodies and the humane intellect! We had truth to find; potential to develop. Evil is essential for appreciation of good.
Secret government has operated over centuries and we now live by false ideology. Globalism plans ownership of earth – it believes victory entitles it to eliminate the great mass of earth’s people! But its identity is not important! We only need know its plan to defeat it.
We do not have to elect egotists chosen by cultural aliens – those motivated by worship of money and power. We do not have to elect candidates who are blind to human responsibilities and love to bathe in power’s arrogance.
We do not have to let alien nature instill values and ideals to abort the potential of children. We do not have to bow meekly to a mass-media-glorified ideal called “freedom of speech”, a permit for liars and deceivers! We do not have to ignore that only “freedom of truth” releases our potential and guarantees our future.
I repeat: “Our present culture, cocooned in wealth and power, may seem invincible. However, those of vision see its total disintegration already beginning. It will transform (as caterpillar to beautiful butterfly) to become of such beauty and freedom as present grubby culture could never dream of.”
We have the power and ability to change! The Impossible dream is no longer impossible!
Of Truth Part 3: End Notes: Item 3. A Poetic Gift of Chastisement.
Choice
"The time has come" (as the walrus said) "to speak of many things": Now man may shed his heathen ways to borrow angel’s wings. In new guise he may venture forth a whole new world to see while the 'old world' he used to know it never more will be.
Or will he keep his manly toys, his bombs and drugs and such, and treasure most the met-alloys and love the carbon touch. Will innocence - sophisticate - still mock with paint its face while love lies prostrate to desire throughout this 'manly' race.
The choice is yours and you should know you can have as you choose, but know that when you bet your life, you have to win - or lose. You cannot stay just as you are our time does pass on by and what you choose may lead to life or let it wither - die.
A Man(kind) that will not listen
In the meaning of Creation and a Word that made it live for a Man that will not listen to the voice that's never still, there's an ever living sorrow and a sadness gaining ground.
We dedicate intelligence to scorn all common sense when explaining our Creation and see no consequence for denial of true science or the truth of providence.
Even churches fail to spread the true message of the Christ and what our Jesus said is deformed with human hype; our ego stands almighty as we talk to justify.
Our pride is our undoing we see things as we want; we cover up the human truth to humanism flaunt. As falsehoods twist our nature we poison our own roots.
We drive the young to madness with noise (is that fate?) and we make art out of junk scraps to reflect our mental state. Yes, we take all good and spoil it, for our cause - sophisticate.
When lies all plastic coated, are enforced as vital truths and the whistle-blower taunted for lack of corporate roots, then Man is really lifting, by straps tied to his boots.
Life cannot, just continue to pile madness on insane, the virtual reality will not itself sustain: false theories don't build bridges and truth will come, with pain.
The Challenge of Principle
Shall we then, be above the ideals we propound, or shall we look to them, also, ourselves? Shall we be free of the principles we so graciously utter? Or the burden we submit, shall we not bend to it?
If we live up to our ideals, then we have none. But do we have them more if we ignore them. Should they not shine for us like a guiding star never in our grasp but yet not quite beyond us?
And will man confuse his ideals with his principles? Are they the same? Are his principles not his very foundation and if he fails them is he not ashamed?
Does not life exist only by virtue of true principles? And does not life die when true principles depart? Should we not seek truth before life knowing the way to life is truth and untruth death?
I enter life an empty vessel
Shall I be filled with whatever my environment pours forth so abundantly and shall I be sealed to stand in line for the pleasures of fate? Shall I be an empty vessel standing open by the roadway to be filled with the filth and cast-off things of the multitude?
Or shall I challenge the eager filler and say: "What guides you?" And shall I avoid the multitude - slaves to the easy path - a little? Shall I not hide from a love which seeks to rule me and seek the truth of the burr that spikes my foot?
Shall I know the path that fate may desperately deny me, and the love that lies beyond the stony ground? Do I seek truth - enchanting strange beguiling and hear the strangers voice and feel his hand?
Do I know them, I have a choice and I am free then to defeat those desires first placed in my mind. Then I may go where truth, not chance, may lead me and not walk blind, controlled, my life confined.
Oh man!
Oh man! You with your iron lungs and your heart transplants, your wonder drugs and your blood transfusions. Your technology that can create a diamond, or take you to the moon, or lay bare a continent. You with your biology whereby you may glimpse your construction and destruction. Where are you going man?
You who have learned so well how to save a life, why have you not learned how to live?
Oh man! You turned from me to the tree. Your world is filled with noise. Is it singing or is it screaming?
Oh man! You have taken your baby's birthright for your pleasure. Your hearts are hard, even more so than your arteries. The "Great Whore" of commerce, "bedecked with many jewels", she is sick. Her stench fills the air and the waterways, yes, and even into the countryside.
Oh man! You turned from me. But what I did say to you, has it not proven true? In your foolishness you claim freedom and are enslaved. Would you have sacrificed yourself, you would have been saved. Would you have been as a servant you would have been served so much better.
Oh man! You with your paint and beer and fancy gear. Your false hair and false breasts. You turned from me in the name of living, but where is your life?
Oh man! I am the way; I am truth; I am life.
Modern Man Modern man is younger than he was. Though never mature he's now less sure. He sees life as through dark glass or mists that pass and cannot grasp a meaning.
He whimpers at the troubles that beset him. Talks of pollution and ecological restitution. Ignorant of political scheming to keep him dreaming.
He fears international finance on the boil while cities spoil and populations multiply over misused soil.
All uncaring he tramples flowers insensitive to the hours of their forming. Possessions strewn about the floor (where they’re from there's plenty more). Cast-off rubbish street by street (someone's paid to keep it neat). The cost of living soaring.
Fair labor now no pride or joy a man sincere can revere. Though he must realize even through misted eyes that home and clothes and garden hose - all things he may deduce are in some way the produce of labor.
He finds life now - well - rather dull He seeks drugs to enliven. He now thinks sex "just real good fun" and beastliness is rising. Now reason's out and fun is in tomorrow is an oldies sin, non-violence is the thing to do (excepting those opposing you) and love just compromising.
Before a screen he sits for hours feeling naught of sun or showers. A shadow world he lives and breathes for fake sorrows, fakely grieves His world perceptions - shadows now
and yet the fates demand - somehow that real milk come from living cow.
Yes man is less mature than he was. Reality passes. Life bypasses. Educated to serve his own desires he learns to believe he can deceive – his soul.
Post Script Congratulations to all seeking truth, I trust this booklet has made possible a more realistic appreciation of the force behind our creation along with the forces creating our discomfort. May we now use life to advance more efficiently?
Who am I? Those who think the position or wealth of the person making a statement give it its value, or that the worldly authority of a speaker increases its value as truth, are misled and the misled mislead. It is for you to use your given intellect to judge the truth of that which is presented.
This internet site is dedicated to whole of life – to our world situation and what we can do to save ourselves.
