Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Building off my email below, in which I forward Claudia's invitation (http://www.silentpeacemeditation.com/?page_id=10) to Alfredo's April 13 Tiwanaku, Bolivia meditation, if the controversial Sitchin Sumerian translations, as they regard Central and South America, interest you, here are the actual, simplified translations: http://www.enkispeaks.com/Essays/23Mesopotamia & NileAreasReclaimedNinurtaFindsAbundantGold.htm http://www.enkispeaks.com/Essays/26EnlilitesBuildSouthAmericaSpaceport.htm http://www.enkispeaks.com/Essays/33AnuPardonsMardukDepartsTiahuanacu.htm Sitchin's official site is www.Sitchin.com. Another writer does a good job synthesizing Sitchin's info with a lot of scientific context: http://www.slavespecies.com/index.asp. Sitchin says the Sumerian tablets say Innana gave the yoga to the human, when in 2900 BC she was awarded the Harappan/Indus Civilization (where she was known as the goddess "Kali"): "...There is in addition, supporting evidence from the myths and stories of Inanna who has been equated in Sumerian literature with the Indian subcontinent goddess, Kali the latter not to be confused with the male demon who is considered the personification of the Kali Yuga). Inanna may in fact have been the presiding goddess and patron of Mohenjo-daro and the early Harrapan culture. Sumerian myths do in fact describe the awarding of such lands to Inanna. The fact that being a more social Anunnaki meant that she might not have spent as much time on the Indian subcontinent, does not in itself constitute evidence that the Harrapan culture was not her home away from home..." And famous mythologists have seen kundalini in every ancient culture, to wit: (from http://www.metahistory.org/AlienDreaming.php) "...In the occult anatomy of Asian mysticism and Yoga, this reptile is known as Kundalini, the serpent power. Gnostics who practiced Kundalini yoga were called Ophites, from the Greek ophis, "snake." This cult was condemned by early Christians as pagan "snake-worshippers." To the mundane and uninitiated mind, the Kundalini serpent can only be conceived by crude literalization. To Gnostics, the lion-headed serpent crowned with solar rays was not only the image of the Lord Archon, but also of the source of spiritual power that allows human beings to resist that entity. Experts who do not look outside Gnosticism to understand it never mention Kundalini, but unorthodox and esoteric scholars such as G. R. S. Mead, Helena Blavatsky, and C. W. King (Gnostics and Their Remains) make the connection routinely, as do comparative mythologists such as Joseph Campbell and Alain Danielou. In The Inner Reaches of Outer Space, Campbell shows how the image of Kundalini, the "serpent power," appears in world art from the Indus Valley circa 2300 BCE and continues right across the spectrum of ancient cultures, well down into the Common Era. As late at the 16th century, golden thalers in Germany (Campbell, Fig. 8) showed the Crucifixion on one face and a serpent draped over the cross on the other. At that late date, Christ would have been identified with Kundalini — without an inkling of why, however — but to Gnostics the snake on the cross was a cancellation of the saving power attributed to crucifixion (i.e., the glorification of suffering as a redemptive force)..." * * * Remember to email Claudia Sobrevila, at claudia.sobrevila, for details on attending the Bolivia meditation in April.
