Left Hand Paths

June 22, 2009

Tantra is another left hand path and goes against many of the conservative and

acceptable understandings of Hinduism. Really the Shamanic is also in this area

but due to its antiquity in suffused throughout all belief systems of humanity.

Zoroastrianism and the worship of Ahura Mazda.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism

The early Egyptian religions were quite unique and very old as well.

These serve as precursors to how we view spirituality. We are as a society still

strongly influenced by these ancient belief systems. In some cases only the

names have been changed or manipulated.

The pre Sumerian Kings had their own belief systems and would be considered as

of the Left hand path. Just to show you how far back we go and of the different

life expectancies and governing structures here is a listing of the early

dynastic Sumerian Kings. They would also be considered to be of a " left hand

path " in our current society.

Early Dynastic I

Ante-diluvian kings, legendary, or earlier than ca. the 26th century BC. Their

rules are measured in sars - periods of 3600 years - the next unit up after 60

in Sumerian counting (3600 = 60x60), and in ners - units of 600.

" After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridug. In

Eridug, Alulim became king; he ruled for 28800 years. "

• Alulim of Eridug: 8 sars (28800 years)

• Alalgar of Eridug: 10 sars (36000 years)

• En-Men-Lu-Ana of Bad-Tibira: 12 sars (43200 years)

• En-Men-Ana 1, 2

• En-Men-Gal-Ana of Bad-Tibira: 8 sars (28800 years)

• Dumuzi of Bad-Tibira, the shepherd: 10 sars (36000 years)

• En-Sipad-Zid-Ana of Larag: 8 sars (28800 years)

• En-Men-Dur-Ana of Zimbir: 5 sars and 5 ners (21000 years)

• Ubara-Tutu of Shuruppag: 5 sars and 1 ner (18600 years)

• Zin-Suddu 1

1:These two names are present on slightly over half of the versions of the

sumerian king lists, but not on others.

2:In the place of En-Men-Ana in some versions of the list is the name Kichu-Ana
