MYTHOLOGY 101 ORIENTATION TALK:

Footnote 322 to Not in His Image:

See Kathleen Raine, Blake and Antiquity and Golgonooza, City of Imagination on Blake and Jesus. Raine incorporates a fair amount of Mystery lore into her literary studies, but in treating this rich esoteric material she follows the allegorical method of late antiquity, revived in the works of the Cambridge Platonist, Thomas Taylor (1758–1835). This method assumes that the directive myths of the Pagan Mysteries, such as the myth of Demeter and Persephone, are metaphorical constructions that stand for something other than what they state. My view, by contrast, is that the ancient myths actually describe events that transpired in the long-term history (phylogenesis) of the human species. With allegory, we are constantly directed away from such realities toward metaphoric and symbolic codes that are assumed to indicate subjective phenomena in human soul-life, the psyche’s way of reckoning its own processes, etc.

Plutarch, one of the last known initiates, condemned allegory and insisted that the myths were descriptions of real events:

“Whoever applieth these allegories to the blessed Divine Nature, deserves to be treated with contempt. We must not however believe that they were mere fables without any meaning, like those of the Poets. They represent to us things that really happened.” (Isis and Osiris).

INTRODUCTORY TALKS

14 October 2020: Why I Do Not Use The Term “Spirituality”  

18 October 2020: On Authenticity: Sovereign Mind

The talk dates from February 19, 2017, thus one of the last talks I recorded in Andalucia. It considers a passage from “Poimandres,” a treatise in the Corpus Hermeticum. The conclusion of the talk presents a critique of transhumanism,  IT,  AI, CERN, and D-wave quantum computing, including some snarky comments on the concept of “parallel universes.” Listening to it, I was startled by its relevance to the current moment in the world-drama 2020. Especially regarding the insane hype of AI and where the technocrats threaten to take the world by using it — as in The Great Reset currently underway. In theory, that is.

I posted it originally on metahistory.org in “Gnostic Sallies” in Mythophrenia.

20 October 2020: The Archontic Eucharist: The 4th Lateran Council of 1215

 

Mythology 101 in Sequence

Thoth-Hermes, is the Egyptian god of writing, magic, wisdom, associated with the Moon and Mercury. Considered to be the god of equilibrium and balance and associated  with the principle of ma’at (divine balance) and the goddess Ma’at who personified this principle. Thoth stands as an Egyptian representative of the Magian Order, the shamanic elite who originated and preserved the Home Story, the Fallen Goddess Scenario.

The cult of Thoth in  Lower Egypt can be dated to the Pre-Dynastic Period (c. 6000-3150 BCE) and lasted into the Ptolemaic Period (323-30 BCE), making Thoth veneration the longest-enduring of the Egyptian gods or any deity from any civilization.  He is usually depicted as a man with the head of an ibis, but also as a seated baboon with or without a lunar disc above his head. He was the patron god of scribes and it was said that scribes would pour out one drop of their ink in Thoth’s honour before they began their daily work.

“Would that I had phrases that are not known, utterances that are strange, in new language that has not been used, free from repetition, not an utterance that hath grown stale, which men of old have spoken.” Khakheperresenb, Egyptian writer, c 2000 BCE

Four basic factors in forensic analysis: 1 the racial stock, 2 the race-specific narrative, including consideration of the  language in which it is transmitted, 3 the self-definition (what they call themselves),  4 the mission, mandate, or purpose of the race that produces the myth.……NOTES……

§ M6. The Hibiru File

The self-designation: Yehudi :: YHU :: YOD – HE – VAU. The name of the tribe encodes the name of their creator deity.

Elements of the Hebrew Biblical Semitic myth :

• El / Elyon : supreme deity AKA YHVH / Yahweh / Jehovah
• Elohim : emanations of Elyon, the superspecies
• Adam : humanoid offspring of the Elohim, the Adamic race which creates humanity; tribally, the Yehudin
• Eve : the terrestrial domain of Adam, the Promised Land, Israel
• Enoshoot: “humanity,” the human races apart from the Adamic race; the Goyim, the Nations, the Gentiles

Pre-Flood scenario:

• Adam and Eve, wrongly assumed to be the primal parents of the human species including all races
• Cain and Abel
• Seth? Genesis 4:25: “And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, ‘For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.’ ”
• Noah…  transitional. Note that Hebrew geneology (all those begats) makes Noah out to be descended from Seth

Post-Flood scenario:

• Noah…
• Abraham
• Melchizedek
• Abraham – Sarah : parents of the Jewish peoples
• Abraham – Hagar: parents of the Arabic peoples
• Isaac : first-born of Abraham, child sacrifice motif
• Ishmael : son of Abraham by his concubine Hagar, progenitor of the Ishmaelites, Arab peoples

Note also: Languages that carry the mythogen: Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic. Locale: the Near East, Canaan, Palestine

From Not in His Image, Ch. 4, The Cult of Righteousness

§ The decisive event in the sacred history of the ancient Jews occurs in I Samuel:

Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel . . . , And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. (1 Sam. 8:4–5)

The key phrase here is “like all the nations.” Biblical historians locate the patriarch Samuel around 1100 B.C.E., about eight hundred years after Abraham. From the time of the first patriarch, the Israelite community had been ruled by a council of elders, called judges, who were closely advised, if not controlled, by a hereditary priesthood. This was a patriarchal society with a strong priestly element, but it was not a theocracy “like all the nations” in the ancient Near East. In the days of Samuel, faith in father god Jehovah was declining, but “all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord” (1 Sam. 3:18). As he approached death, the elders of the community, acting it seems out of spiritual insecurity, asked Samuel to establish a king for Israel comparable to the kings of neighboring nations. In this single, decisive event the institution of monarchy was adopted by the Hebrews. So extraordinary was this development that Mircea Eliade wrote:

The monarchy is interpreted as a new covenant between Yahweh and the dynasty of David, a continuation of the covenant of Sinai. It is in this valorization of a foreign institution as a new act of sacred history that we can appreciate the originality of the Israelite ideology of kingship.⁸¹

Monarchy was, as Eliade stresses, a “foreign institution” for the Hebrews. Its adoption marks a crucial point of departure for that people, and, indeed, for humanity at large. §

§ M7. Detecting the Anomalies

In this famous line (Genesis 1:27), adm = human, which is how it has been taught to those in the out-group, all the human races apart from the racial group who produced the text. For the in-group, the Hibiru, adm signifies their identity, the Adamic race. According to Talmudic secret teaching, the Hibiru are not human but appear in human form. They are a superspecies standing above all the other races. By deceit, they conceal this belief about their self-assumed identity and let it be wrongly understood that adm means humanity as a whole. As a result, the other races, the Rhome, take the tribal legend of the ancient hebrews as an exemplary moral story that applies to the entire human race. Well, it does apply in a certain way in the minds of those who produced it, but not in the sense understood by Christians (such as the woman in the vids to be linked here).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COPWJeMV7AU&t=9s

Note that the woman presenting this clip is a dedicated Christian who is totally ignorant of the fact that her faith is based in the racial supremacy mythogen she condemns. Christianity is Judaism. “The reason we look alike is because you are created in our image.” Susan objects to this claim but then she says that her god is the Jewish creator god, nevertheless. She rejects and condemns the Hibiru program but embraces the concept of the off-planet creator god (Ialdabaoth/Jehovah) that comes from that very program. Her view demonstrates the cognitive dissonance of Christians.

M8.The Gnostic Warning. Irenaeus (c 130 – c 202 CE), Against Heresies I.30.10

Among them [the nations of that epoch], Ialdabaoth chose a certain Abraham and made a covenant with him that if his seed would continue to serve him he would give them the earth as an inheritance. Later through Moses he brought forth from Egypt the descendants of Abraham, gave them the law, and made them Jews.

M9. The Slave Species Meme

M10. The Power of Narrative

§ One example if how the Gnostics inverted and refuted the Hibiru narrative:

The Serpent in Eden: Epiphanius (c. 301 – c. 403 CE) in Panarion, Against Heresies: “And the serpent (ophis) persuaded them  and brought knowledge (gnosis), and taught both man and woman (anthropon chi ten gynaicha) all the knowledge of the heavenly mysteries (mysterion to pan gnoseos).

“In this text, the serpent plays the role of a spiritual teacher, cf. designation REFTAMO, instructor.” See also On the Origin of the World II 119, 6-7: “And Eve took courage from the words of the instructor.” The text uses word-play based on Aramaic  in which the word for “serpent” resembles and suggests the word for “instructor.”

The Coptic Gnostic Library, V. 5 p 159-60.

§ The mythogen is a narrative instrument, a vehicle with directive capacity and thrust, no matter what narrative content inheres in it.

The Jewish god-complex.

M11. The Plague of the Aborted Foetus

A veil exists between the world above [Pleroma], and the realms that are below [Kenoma]; and shadow (haibe) came into being beneath the veil. Some of the shadow became matter, and was projected apart. And what Sophia created became a product in the matter, like an aborted fetus (houhai).

– The Hypostasis of the Archons, 94: 5 – 15

Coptic houhai, “abortion, or prematurely born foetus (presumably dead).”

M12. The Correction of the World

Summary: There  is no equivalent in world mythology of any race or culture to the demented alien pretender god, Ialdabaoth. That figure is unique to the Hibiru file but exposed and identified in the Gnostic file. THE ARCHONTIC TRICKSTER is uniquely deceitful and malevolent. We can detect his epiphanies today in the theatre of social life wherever you see grinning, laughing politicians and smiling humanitarians. The popular clown meme, the Honker, indicates an emergent recognition of the alien-mind trickster, often associated with ludicrous and absurd behavior.

THE TRICKSTER: Hermes, Loki, aminal variants: Hare, Raven, Coyote; cartoon Wiley/Wile E. Coyote (Mandela Effect), African variants: Anansa, Legba, Ogo-Urugu (Lord of the Random), Tokoloshe; Aztec Heuheucoyotl; Japanese Kitsune, and many others.

In Planetary Tantra: Matangi, the Mahayidva with the power to expose and defeat the Archontic Trickster (the Jewish scapegoat-perpetrator). Aligned to the constellation of the Waterbearer, renamed the Manitu.

By the norm established by anthropoligists such as Daniel Brinton and Paul Radin, the trickster is amoral, a comedian , meddler, and prankster, not evil but not good, either. By contrast, the Archontic Trickster has an agenda of morality to impose: tzaddik, righteousness, acting on the presumption of being holier-than-thou and pretending to act for your good but without your consent. Thus, humanitarians such as Klaus Schwab always present their evil deceit in the guise of righteousness, a higher cause, common good. Likewise for the jewish god-complex. The chosen tribe pretends to be “a light to the nations,” setting the example of perfect obedience to the off-planet creator god, Ialdabaoth.

§ The Trickster: A Study in American Indian Mythology by Paul Radin, 1972
§ The Trickster in West Africa: A Study in Mythic Irony and Delight by Robert D. Pelton, 1980
§ The Trickster and the Paranormal by George P. Hansen, 2001

CAUTION: Internet sites listing tricksters are highly inaccurate due to not following a rigorous profile. For instance, one lists the biblical patriarch Jacob as a trickster. By association with Ialdabaoth, yet, it fits; but otherwise he does not match the profile. He is one among many Hibiru folk-heroes who deceive and betray the people of the out-groups they infiltrate. Often the result of this deceit is genocide: for example, Ester, the heroine of the OT. She is the Jewish wife of a Persian king Ahasuerus. In the narrative, the king’s adviser Haman persuades the king to have all the Jews in the kingdom killed. Esther uses trickery to foil the plan, and turns the tables so that the King allows the Jews to kill their enemies. This folk-tale provides a traditional basis for the festival of Purim, celebrating the genocide.

Purim 2020 began on March 9, three days before WHO announced that SARS-COV-2 is a global pandemic. In this case, the announcement of the pandemic is the genocidal strike. The narrative of the virus is the virus. This is the Archontic Trickster in action.

Title of the speech: “Why We Are Anti-Semites”

The final parallel: tikkun olam VERSUS Sophia’s Correction

Tikkun Olam: read the hype from the Chabad, i.e., Zaddikite ideologues. It is an exact duplication of a comprehensive profile of Correction. Greek diorthosis. It corrects damage and harm and makes everything better than it was before. Everyone has a part to play. The only difference is, WHO is running the program and why? Who is orchestrating the correction of the world?

§ Final Reflections

Do you think these rulers have any power over you? None of them can prevail against the root of truth (Coptic ME, also “heart”: “the truth in your heart”). For on its account, the Revealer appeared in the final ages, and these authorities will be restrained. They cannot defile you and that generation [allied to the Revealer], for you dwell in incorruption, immortal and virginal strength, superior to the Rulers and the chaos of their world.  – The Reality of the Rulers, 93.20-30
