The FGS Legacy Version

The Fallen Goddess Scenario Legacy Version


First, I am not ultimately the author of this mythic narrative. Rather, I am the single living individual to attempt to restore and advance it. No single human being is or has ever been the author of a myth, for myths are the product of the creative imagination of the human species, filtered through the spectrum of the diversity of racial identities — hence, variants of racial mythology. To the best of my knowledge, the FGS derives from Persian culture in the Avestan and later Parsi languages. Nevertheless, precious little evidence of it remains in those sources which, as Mircea Eliade indicated, are pathetically sparse and corrupted. Like it or not, I attribute the lost origins of the Sophianic narrative to the Aryan-Caucasian races of the Middle East — specifically, the prehistorical shamanic culture matrix located on the Urmian plateau of Northern Iran —  yet I hold this narrative to be the source material of the goddess-centered myths and cultures of Western Europe. The most ancient surviving name for Sophia in Western myth is Ostara, a Teutonic name. Parallel and complementary names in ancient Persia were Anahita and Spandarmat. The name for the human genome in those records is Gayomart.

Second, the final iteration in 18 episodes is not all that can be said or made of the cosmological core narrative of the FGS. I call it that because it is my final rendering, and mine alone. Everyone who comes to it needs to know that it describes events in this galaxy that transpired “or ever the earth was,” and before the appearance of proto-humans on the home planet. There are no human actors in this scenario. Remember that the Anthropos, the human genome, is imaginal by contrast to the spectrum of human races which are existential and biological. Anyone who in the future might attempt to elaborate the pre-human cosmological narrative of Sophia and expand or improve my rendering of the origin of the human genome and the anomaly of the Archons had better be qualified and prove their credentials in comparative mythology, astronomy, sky lore, anthropology, biology and exobiology, experimental mysticism, and whatever else it takes to do handle that challenge in a sane and coherent way.

Good luck on that. And never forget that it has to be beautiful, and can only become more beautiful as you learn it and know and love it more deeply.

Origin Myth

In his long career of teaching comparative mythology, JLL has explained that all myths are racial insofar as they all arise from specific peoples living in certain regions of the earth and speaking certain languages. It can be helpful to agree, for the purpose of education and discussion, that the human species is a singular entity that propagates through a spectrum of races. There is one human species that develops into many races. Consistent with the Gnostic definition of the Anthropos, humans are anthropines, members of a single and distinct species like canines and felines. The Home Story describes the origin of the Anthropos in a way no other myth does. But human animals never appear in a pure anthropine expression, only as racial variants. Consider milk that has been homogenized, pasteurized, and flavored. That is not the same as raw milk, right out of the cow.

No one living on the earth today, or who has ever lived, presents the organic expression of the “raw milk” anthropine. That fact raises the question: If all myths that describe the origin of humanity and the purpose of life on earth come from certain races, do those race-specific myths actually describe the origin of the entire human species or only the origin of the race that produced them? JLL has explored this issue in a series of ten talks, Mythology 101 on YouTube. His conclusion is that only two “origin myths” describe, or claim to describe, anthropine origins. All the others exclusively describe the origin of the people who produced them, Japanese, Aztec, Chinese, Polynesian, Scandinavian, etc. They are myths of the “first peoples” of the race that produced them.

Nevertheless, the two generic and inclusive narratives of human origins also had to be produced by specific races. The racial stock who produced the Home Story were Proto-Aryan people from the Caucasian mountains at the northern boundary of modern-day Iran. Hence, they were ancient, prehistoric Persians. The priesthood or spiritual elite responsible for the sacred narrative of Sophia were traditionally known as Magians, or Magi. In the ancient Avestan language of Persia, the name for Sophia was Anahita, Areydvi in the oldest version. This name means “moist.” A correlated name can be found in Slavic mythology: Mat Zemlya, “moist mother earth.” Of course, this is merely one of dozens of such correlates or cognates. The root mat (mother; also, measure) occurs in a second Persian name for Sophia, Spandarmat, “vibrant expanse of the mother power.” The Indo-European root spanda means “tremor, pulsation, expulsion.” The FGS episodes begin with “Once Upon a Tremor.”

So, the Home Story is the product of the religious imagination of a specific racial stock, even though it does not merely explain the origin of the people who produced it, but of the human species in its entirety.

The FGS Ongoing

“And then came the explosion.” The final line of FGS 1.18, Episode Eighteen: This Divine Experiment, refers to the gradient of the prehistorical mythic narrative down into the artificial framework of geological time. The human species only appears on the home planet after the Cambrian Explosion dated to 550-535 MYA (million years ago). Thence begins FGS 2.0, to be developed in loose, open-ended episodes. Following the astronomical-geological gradient comes the mytho-historical gradient when the narrative merges into the mist-enshrouded realm of proto-history (“the prehistory of prehistory”) with application of  the timing of the Kalpas. As noted above, I do not anticipate anyone daring to tamper with the FGS 1.18. It is not perfect but it is teleios, “ultimate, as good as it can get.” FGS 2.0, on the other hand, can only be developed as a collaborative event. Note this arrangement of all materials in the blocks of this course:

Orientation & Overview

FGS 1.18 FINAL ITERATION

I THE HUMAN SINGULARITY ( 1, 2, 3,  4)
II A COSMIC ANOMALY (5, 6, 7, 8)
III THE LUMINOUS CHILD (9, 10, 11)
IV THE PASSAGE TOWARD ORION (12, 13, 14,  15)
V THE ARK OF LIFE (16, 17, 18)

FGS 2.0 ONGOING (opening with the Terrestrial Timeline and the Chthonian Romance)

The super-short synopsis of the FGS in Not in His Image has to stand, but it does not meet the standard of my final perspective on this project.

The final iteration of 18 episodes of the FGS, the same number of matching long-form summaries will be made available here for faculty members of Nemeta: complete elaborations of the 18 episodes with commentaries and vocabulary, plus readings, if I can manage to complete the 18 episodes to my satisfaction. Due to the complexities of rendering the original 9 episodes to 18, some of the Commentary and Vocabulary for the full narratives will be added later, as and IF time allows.

This distinction of the 18 episodes from the legacy version rests on the fact that the FGS is a pre-Terma work of mythological fiction coming from JLL. It is the paramount expression of “creative mythology” predicted by Joseph Campbell. It is the result of the investigations of a comparative mythologist working at the PhD level in the genre, and beyond. I don’t mind asking for remuneration for the FGS as a professional achievement, and, honestly, no one could pay me enough for it. Hence the following:

The Three Ss

The FGS/Home Story is the centerpiece and foundation of the living Gnosis today. This unique sacred narrative illustrates a fundamental truth about the human species: the default setting of the human mindset is animistic. Animism is not merely the belief that everything is alive, it is the direct perception of how that is so. In its full scope as well as in every detail, the Home Story describes the animated and animating powers of the cosmos at large, reaching to the galactic core, and of nature in the terrestrial habitat. Those who engage with this story enter upon a life-long journey of discovery. During that journey, many wonders and many perspectives come into view. Insight into the sources of life deepens and grows ever more precise in its beauteous detail. Central to it all there is the living presence of the Aeonic Mother, Sophia. Fondly known as the Planetary Animal Mother, PAM.
Devotees of the Wisdom Goddess always keep in sight that singular power and presence. To do so, they apply the formula of the three Ss:

The Wisdom Goddess is the Source of life,
the Setting for life,
and her Story is the supreme guiding narrative for human activity, creative expression, self-discovery, and morals.
