Star Fire: The Gold of the Gods
<<
Back -- Page 2 of 4 -- Next >>
Most of you are probably quite familiar with the functions of
the pineal and other glands of the endocrinal system. But for those who are
perhaps not, the pineal is a very small gland, shaped like a pine cone and about
the size of a grain of corn. It is centrally situated within the brain, although
outside the ventricles and not forming a part of the brain-matter as such.
The pineal gland was thought by the 17th-century French
optical scientist Ren� Descartes to be the seat of the soul - the point at
which the mind and body are conjoined. The ancient Greeks considered it
likewise, and in the 4th century BC Herophilus described the pineal as an organ
which regulated the flow of thought. This gland has long intrigued anatomists
because, while the rest of the brain is 'double', the pineal has no counterpart.
In the days of ancient Sumer, the priests of Anu (the father
of Enlil and Enki) perfected and elaborated a ramifying medical science of
living substances, with menstrual Star Fire being an essential source component.
In the first instance, this was pure Anunnaki lunar essence called 'Gold of the
Gods', and it was fed only to the Kings and Queens of the Dragon succession.
Later, however, in Egypt and Mediterranea, menstrual Star Fire was ritually
collected from sacred virgin priestesses who were venerated as 'Scarlet Women'.
Indeed, the very word 'ritual' stems from this practice, and from the word ritu
- which defined the sacred ceremony of the 'Red Gold'.
Endocrinal supplements are, of course, still used by today's
organotherapy establishment, but their inherent secretions (such as melatonin
and serotonin) are obtained from the dessicated glands of dead animals and they
lack the truly important elements which exist only in live human glandular
manufacture.
In the fire symbolism of ancient alchemy, the colour 'red' is
synonymous with the metal 'gold'. In some traditions (including the Indian
tantras), 'red' is also identifiable with 'black'. Hence, the goddess Kali is
said to be both 'red' and 'black'. The original heritage of Kali was, however,
Sumerian, and she was said to be Kalim�th, the sister of Cain's wife Luluwa.
Kali was a primary princess of the Dragon House, and from her
Star Fire association she became the goddess of time, seasons, periods and
cycles. Because of this, her name was the root of the word 'calendar' (kalindar),
which is concerned with the divisions of seasonal time.
In the early days, therefore, the metals of the alchemists
were not common metals but living essences, and the ancient mysteries were of a
physical, not a metaphysical, nature. Indeed, the very word 'secret' has its
origin in the hidden knowledge of glandular secretions. Truth was the ritu (the
'redness' or 'blackness'), and from the word ritu stems not only ritual but also
the words 'rite', 'root' and 'red'. The ritu, it was said, reveals itself as
physical matter in the form of the purest and most noble of all metals: gold.
Hence, gold was deemed an 'ultimate truth'.
Just as the word 'secret' has its origin in the translation of
an ancient word, so too do other related words have their similar bases. In
ancient Egypt, the word Amen was used to signify something hidden or concealed.
The word 'occult' meant pretty much the same ('hidden from view'), and yet today
we use 'Amen' to conclude hymns, while something 'occult' is deemed sinister. In
real terms, however, they both relate to the word 'secret', and all three words
were, at one time or another, connected with the mystic science of endocrinal
secretions.
Since Kali was associated with 'black' (being 'black but
beautiful'), the English word 'coal' (denoting 'that which is black') stems also
from her name via the intermediate word kol. In the Hebrew tradition, Bath-Kol
(a Kali counterpart) was called the 'Daughter of the Voice', and the voice was
said to originate during a female's puberty. Hence, the womb was associated with
the voice, and Star Fire was said to be the oracular 'Word of the Womb'. The
womb was, therefore, itself the 'utterer', or the 'uterus'.
The 'Scarlet Women' were so called because of their being a
direct source of the priestly Star Fire. They were known in Greek as the
Hierodulai ('Sacred Women') - a word later transformed (via mediaeval French
into English) to 'harlot'. In the early Germanic tongue, they were known as Hor�s
- which was later Anglicised to 'whores'. However, the word originally meant,
quite simply, 'Beloved Ones'. As pointed out in good etymological dictionaries,
these words were descriptions of high veneration and were never interchangeable
with such words as 'prostitute' or 'adulteress'. Their now common association
was, in fact, a wholly contrived strategy of the mediaeval Roman Church in its
bid to denigrate the noble status of the sacred priestess.
The withdrawal of knowledge of the genuine Star Fire tradition
from the public domain occurred when the science of the early adepts and later
Gnostics (the true pre-Christian Christians) was stifled by the forgers of
historic Christianity. A certain amount of the original gnosis (or knowledge) is
preserved in Talmudic and rabbinical lore, but, generally speaking, the
mainstream Jews and Christians did all in their power to distort and destroy all
traces of the ancient art.
In addition to being the 'Gold of the Gods', the Anunnaki
menstruum was also called the 'Vehicle of Light', being the ultimate source of
manifestation, and in this regard it was directly equated with the mystical
'Waters of Creation' - the flow of eternal wisdom. It was for this reason that
the Rosi-Crucis (the Dew Cup, or Cup of the Waters identified as a red cross
within a circle) became the Mark of Cain, and the subsequent emblem of the
kingly succession.
It was said that the Light remained quite dormant in a
spiritually unawakened person but that it could be awakened and motivated by the
spiritual energy of self-will, and by constant self-enquiry. This is not an
obvious mental process, but a truly thought-free consciousness - a formless
plane of pure Being.
It was this very concept of 'being' or 'self-completeness'
which posed the ultimate problem for Enlil-Jehovah. In contrast, his brother
Enki knew that humans who partook of the Tree of Knowledge (the Anunnaki wisdom)
and of the Plant of Birth (the Anunnaki Star Fire) could themselves become
almost like gods. Even Jehovah was said to have recognised this, and Genesis
states that when Adam had taken the fruit of the Tree, Jehovah said,
"Behold, the man is become as one of Us".
Enki the Wise, Guardian of the Tree of Knowledge, also had
another name in the Hebrew tradition. They called him Samael (Sama-El) because
he was the designated Lord of Sama in northern Mesopotamia. The teachings of the
early mystery-schools were very specific about the Trees of Life and Knowledge,
and they emulated the very teachings of Enki himself. It was said: Nothing is
obtained simply by wanting. And nothing is achieved by relinquishing
responsibility to a higher authority. Belief is the act of 'beliving', for to
'be live' is to 'believe' - and Will is the ultimate medium of the Self.
The Sumerian records relate that Cain's son, King Etana,
partook of the Plant of Birth in order to father his own son and heir, King
Baali - and the Plant of Birth was directly associated with individual longevity
and the office of Cainship, or Kingship. It was itself related to Star Fire and
to pineal gland activity, and partaking of the Plant of Birth was the ritual of
ingesting the Star Fire - the pure Anunnaki female essence, the Nectar of
Supreme Excellence.
In this regard, the Anunnaki 'flow-er' (flower or lily) was
held to be the Cup-bearer, the transmitter of the Rich Food of the Matrix. In
this capacity, she was called the Rose of Sharon (from the word Sha, meaning
'Orbit', along with the words Ra and On, relating to the ultimate temple of
'Light'). The significance of this highly venerated station is actually made
apparent in the Bible's esoteric Song of Solomon wherein the Messianic Bride
proclaims to the King, "I am the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the
valleys".
A Star Fire recipient King was considered to have become
qualified for Kingship when he reached a pre-destined state of enlightened
consciousness - a state when his aptitudes for wisdom and leadership had been
enhanced to a realm of Kingship called the Malk�. It was from this Mesopotamian
word Malk� that the Hebrews derived their words Malchus (King) and Malkhut
(Kingdom).
Only in very recent times have medical scientists identified
the hormonal secretion of the pineal gland, finally isolating it in 1968. The
essence was called melatonin, which means 'night worker' (from the Greek, melos,
meaning 'black', and tosos, meaning 'labour'). Those with a high melatonin
output react strongly against sunlight because it affects their mental
capability; they are essentially night operatives. Melatonin is called the
'hormone of darkness' as it is produced only at night or in the dark. Exposure
to an excess of sunlight actually makes the pineal gland smaller and lessens
spiritual awareness, whereas darkness and high pineal activity enhance the keen
intuitive knowledge of the subtle mind while reducing the stress factor.
At this stage, it is of interest to note how it was that the
Christian Church eventually demolished the true significance of the Star Fire
ritual by manoeuvring it into the realm of sinister Gothic legend. In the old
tradition, the ultimate holders of the Malkhut were known as Dragons or
Pendragons, and the reigning head was always known as Draco.
By virtue of their bodily conditioning through supplementary
melatonin and other hormonal secretions, they were in fact Princes of Darkness;
and they gained their heightened awareness, above-normal powers and longevity
from the Star Fire - the lunar blood of the Anunnaki Queens and the priestly
Scarlet Women.
As detailed in Bloodline
of the Holy Grail, the brutal Catholic Inquisitions of the Middle
Ages were set against all the so-called heretics who in one way or another
supported the Messianic Blood Royal (the Sangr�al) of the Dragon Kings against
the corrupted dogma of the bishops. Many of the victims were classified as
occultists and witches, and they were charged with upholding the ancient and
heretical cult of Draco, the Prince of Darkness. They were proclaimed by the
Church authorities to be vampires!
I previously mentioned the significance of the ancient
Egyptian Court of the Dragon, pointing out that after some 4,000 years this
Sovereign Order is still operative today. Back in the 15th century, a prominent
Chancellor of the Court was Prince Vlad III of Transylvania-Wallachia, who built
the citadel of Bucharest. Vlad is perhaps better remembered, however, as Count
Dracula, meaning 'son of Dracul' - a name by which his father was known within
the Court from 1431.
Vlad was a prince of harsh disciplines, and his method of
execution for crimes against the state was impalement upon wooden stakes. This
was quite compatible with other hideous punishments of the time (boiling in oil,
burning at the stake, drawing and quartering, etc.). But Vlad's particular
method became reversed against him in a later Gothic-novel tradition which
claimed that Dracula should be killed by impalement with a wooden stake.
The establishment's real fear of Dracula, however, was not his
savage treatment of enemies (such things were commonplace in their day), but his
in-depth knowledge of alchemy and the ancient Star Fire customs. Having attended
the Austrian School of Solomon in Hermannstadt, he had an in-depth scientific
understanding of the bodily effects of melatonin and serotonin which enhance
longevity and increase consciousness.
Clearly, as the Romanian annals determine, he was a high
melatonin producer, and, as we have seen, such people are adversely affected by
sunlight. They are night workers (melos tosos). Consequently, the Transylvanian
myth was born, and in Bram Stoker's novel (published in 1897, with its centenary
last year) Vlad-Dracula was portrayed as a vampire - a Prince of Darkness who
imbibed the blood of virgins!
Notwithstanding this, a good deal of truly early folklore was
actually based upon the Grail and Dragon traditions. The very concept of
'fairies' ('fair folk') was born directly from this base, being a derivative of
f�e or 'fey' and relating especially to 'fate'. In the Celtic world, certain
royal families were said to carry the 'fairy blood' - that is to say, the fate
or destiny of the Grail Bloodline - while the Grail Princesses of romance and
history were often called 'elf-maidens'. They were the designated guardians of
the earth, starlight and forest, as beguilingly replicated by the elven race in
Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
In the old language of southern Europe, a female elf was an
ylbi, and from this word derived the town name of Albi, the Languedoc centre of
the Gnostic Cathars (the Pure Ones) in the Middle Ages. When Pope Innocent III
launched his brutal thirty-five-year military assault upon the Cathars from
1208, his campaign was called the 'Albigensian' Crusade because it was set
against the supporters of the albi-gens ('elven blood').
Melatonin enhances and boosts the body's immune system, and
those with high pineal secretion are less likely to develop cancerous diseases.
High melatonin production heightens energy, stamina and physical tolerance
levels and it is directly related to sleep patterns, keeping the body
temperately regulated with properties that operate through the cardiovascular
system. It is, in fact, the body's most potent and effective antioxidant and it
has positive mental and physical anti-ageing properties. It is manufactured by
the pineal gland through the activation of a chemical messenger called serotonin.
This transmits nerve impulses across chromosome pairs at a point when the cell
nuclei are divided and the chromosomes are halved (a process called meiosis),
eventually to be combined with other half-sets upon fertilisation.
Pine resin was long identified with pineal secretion and was
used to make frankincense (the incense of priesthood). Gold, on the other hand,
was a traditional symbol of kingship. Hence, gold and frankincense were the
traditional substances of the Priest-Kings of the Messianic Bloodline, along
with myrrh (a gum resin used as a medical sedative) which was symbolic of death.
In the ancient world, higher knowledge was identified as da�th
(from which comes our word, 'death'). In fact, as we know very well, the New
Testament describes that these three substances (gold, frankincense and myrrh)
were presented to Jesus by the Magi, thereby identifying him beyond doubt as an
hereditary Priest-King of the Dragon succession.
Yoga teachers suggest that the pineal gland (which they call
the 'third eye' or 'eye of wisdom') is significant in the process of becoming
'aware', for it is the ultimate source of the Light. Illuminists and other
Rosicrucian adepts have long referred to the pineal as the secret ayin - an
ancient word for 'eye'. This spelling (a-y-i-n) is actually quite important
because the original spelling of Cain (whether with a 'C', a 'K' or a 'Q') was
not 'C-a-i-n' as we now know it, but 'C-a-y-i-n'. The name Cain, in its various
forms, actually denoted One of the Inner Eye. Hence, from Kayin with a 'K'
derived the word 'King', and from Qayin with a 'Q' derived the word 'Queen'.
Indeed, Cain's father Enki-Samael was himself the Sumerians' designated Lord of
the Sacred Eye.
It is said that a truly spiritual person can automatically
perceive with the third eye (the subtle eye of insight), rather than be duped by
mundane eyes which reveal only physical presences. Such presences are defined by
their place within arbitrary time; but to pineal graduates there is no time to
calculate, for they live in a dimension where time and space are of no
consequence. This dimension is not a new discovery of modern science: it was
known about thousands of years ago as the Plane of Sharon, the Plane of the
Orbit of Light.
And so the Cainite Kings of Mesopotamia (the first Pendragons
of the Messianic Bloodline) while already being of high Anunnaki substance were
fed with further Anunnaki Star Fire to increase their perception, awareness and
intuition so that they became masters of knowingness, almost like gods
themselves. At the same time their stamina levels and immune systems were
dramatically strengthened so that the anti-ageing properties of the regularly
ingested Anunnaki melatonin and serotonin facilitated extraordinary life-spans.
All records of the era confirm that this was the case, with those of the kingly
line living for hundreds of years. And in this regard there is no reason to be
over-sceptical about the great ages of the early patriarchs as given in the Book
of Genesis.
In addition to the Star Fire ritual, the Bloodline Kings were
also said to have been nourished with the Milk of the Goddess, and it would
appear that this 'milk' contained an enzyme that was itself conducive to active
longevity. Today's genetic researchers call this enzyme telomerase. As recently
reported in the journal Science [vol. 279, 16 January 1998], corporate studies
and those of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center have determined
that telomerase has unique anti-ageing properties.
Healthy body cells are programmed to divide many times during
a lifetime, but this process of division and replication is finite, so that a
non-dividing state is ultimately achieved. This is a crucial factor of ageing.
The division potential is controlled by caps at the end of DNA strands (rather
like the plastic tips on shoelaces). These caps are the telomeres. As each cell
divides, a piece of telomere is lost, and the dividing process ceases when the
telomeres have shortened to an optimum and critical length. There is then no new
cell replication, and all that follows is deterioration.
Laboratory experiments with tissue samples have now shown that
application of the genetic enzyme telomerase can prevent telomere shortening
upon cell division and replication. Hence, body cells can continue to divide way
beyond their naturally restricted programming (just as do cancer cells which
can achieve immortality through being rich in telomerase). Telomerase is not
usually expressed in normal body tissue; but apart from being present in
malignant tumours, it is also apparent in reproductive cells. It seems,
therefore, that somewhere within our DNA structure is the genetic ability to
produce this anti-ageing enzyme, but that the potential has somehow been
switched off and probably exists within those aspects of our DNA which
scientists currently refer to as 'junk'.
(Note: Controlling telomere length is not only the key to
controlling lifespan, it appears to be secret goal behind cloning. The Geron
Corporation, owner of the Roslin Institute, has succeeded in controlling
telomere length and has already patented the process. Why hasn't this been
plastered all over the newspapers? Human
Cloning. -- Webmaster 20kWeb.)
In the canonical Bible we are told that, during the lifetimes
of Noah and his sons, Jehovah issued the edict which forbade the ingesting of
blood - at least this was the time-frame applied to the edict by the Old
Testament compilers in the sixth century BC. It is unlikely, however, that this
was the correct time-frame, for at that time Enlil-Jehovah would have had no
such final authority over Enki and the Grand Assembly of the Anunnaki.
Nevertheless it is apparent that, from that time, the given
ages of the patriarchal strain begin to diminish quite considerably, so that
from the days of Abraham and Isaac we are presented, in the main, with rather
more normal life-spans. In contrast, though, the life-spans of the Sumerian
Kings in descent from Cain and Etana continued at a generally high level.
What we do know beyond doubt is that whatever the realities of
the edict and its chronology, a major change in the Star Fire practice became
necessary in about 1960 BC. This was when the Bible tells us that Abraham
and his family moved northward from Ur of the Chaldees (the capital of Sumer) to
Haran before turning westward into Canaan.
Contemporary historical texts record that at that time Ur was
sacked by the King of nearby Elam soon after 2000 BC and, although the city was
rebuilt, the power centre moved north to Haran in the Kingdom of Mari. But Haran
was not just the name of a flourishing city; it was the name of Abraham's
brother (the father of Lot). Existing documents (discovered in 1934) also reveal
that other cities in Mesopotamia were similarly named in accordance with
Abraham's forebears - cities such as Terah (Abraham's father), Nahor (Terah's
father), Serug (Nahor's father), and Peleg (Serug's grandfather).
Quite apparently, in line with all the Sumerian evidence which
supports the kingly line from Cain, these lately discovered reports confirm that
the immediate family of Abraham (in the succession after Noah) were also great
commissioners of the region in general. Clearly, the Patriarchs represented no
ordinary family but constituted a very powerful dynasty. But why would such a
long-standing heritage of prominence and renown come to an abrupt end and force
Abraham out of Mesopotamia into Canaan?
The answer is to be found in clay tablets which can be dated
to about 1960 BC. They detail that, at that time, everything changed in the
hitherto sacred land of Sumer when invaders came in from all sides: Akkadians
from the north, Amorites from Syria, and Elamites from Persia. The text
continues:
When they overthrew, when order they destroyed; Then like a
deluge all things together consumed. Whereunto, oh Sumer! Did they change thee?
The Sacred Dynasty from the Temple they exiled.
It was at this stage of Sumerian history that the empire fell
and Abraham was forced to flee northward from the city of Ur. But what had
happened to the Anunnaki, the Grand Assembly of Gods who had established
everything? The text continues:
Ur is destroyed, bitter is its lament. The country's blood now
fills its holes like hot bronze in a mould. Bodies dissolve like fat in the sun.
Our temple is destroyed. Smoke lies on our cities like a shroud. The gods have
abandoned us like migrating birds.
In historical terms, this total collapse of the Sumerian
empire follows the founding of Babylon by King Ur-Baba in about 2000 BC. Indeed,
the story of the Tower of Babel and the resultant wrath of Jehovah precisely
fits the time-frame of the Sumerians' own abandonment by the Anunnaki.
The story in Genesis relates that the people, who were
hitherto said by Jehovah to be "very good", were severely punished
because of a strange transgression which had not previously been ruled upon. The
apparent transgression was that they all spoke the same language, and the unique
language which they all spoke was, of course, Sumerian - the first written
language on Earth.
For a reason which is not made clear in the Bible, the Genesis
text explains that Jehovah was not happy about the Tower of Babel and so he
"did come down, and did confound the language of all the Earth".
The Sumerian historical documents tell much the same story,
except that the confounding of language is far better explained by the hordes
of foreign invaders who came into the region. It transpires that this
invasion was the direct result of friction among the Anunnaki, for at Anu's
retirement from the Grand Assembly his eldest son Enlil-Jehovah assumed the
presidency. He proclaimed that he was master of all the Earth, although his
brother Enki-Samael could retain sovereignty of the seas. Enki was not at all
happy about his brother's claim because, although Enlil was the elder of the
two, his mother, Ki, was their father Anu's junior sister, whereas Enki's
mother, Antu, was the senior sister. True kingship, claimed Enki, progressed as
a matrilinear institution through the female line, and by this right of descent
Enki maintained that he was the first-born of the royal succession:
I am Enki...the great brother of the gods. I am he who has
been born as the first son of the divine Anu.
As a result, the people of Babylon announced their allegiance
to Enki and his son Marduk - but this was all too much for Enlil-Jehovah. Having
lost his popularity, he opened the gates of Sumer to let in invaders from all
sides. The scribes recorded that he, the vengeful Enlil-Jehovah, brought
about the "great and terrible storm" which caused the annihilation of
all the Sumerian culture so that their language was no longer predominant and
there was a "great confusion of tongues".
All the work which had been accomplished in building up a
unique civilisation over thousands of years was destroyed in one fell swoop by
Enlil-Jehovah, simply because he would not share authority with his brother
Enki. The records confirm that, at that moment in Sumerian history, the Grand
Assembly of the Anunnaki vacated their seats and departed "like migrating
birds".
For all that had occurred up to that point, an urgent and
significant change in kingly procedure was necessary because the Anunnaki Star
Fire was no longer available. A substitute had to be found. As previously
mentioned, the priestly Scarlet Women had been purpose-bred for this; but it was
clear that, however carefully mated, their essence would weaken through the
generations.
In the event, the creation of a more permanent and versatile
substitute was not a problem, for this was the province of a group of previously
trained metallurgists whom Enki had called the Master Craftsmen. The first of
these great metallurgists to be trained was Tubal-cain the Vulcan - a
sixth-generation descendant of Cain, who is remembered even today in modern
Freemasonry.
In consideration of the Bible's New Testament symbology, it is
of particular interest to note that Jesus' father Joseph was himself recorded
in the early Gospels as being a Master Craftsman. In modern English-language
Bibles, Joseph is described as a 'carpenter', but this is a blatant
mistranslation. The word 'carpenter' was wrongly derived from the Greek ho-tekton
which actually defined a Master of the Craft - not a woodworker, but a
learned alchemical metallurgist in the manner of his ancestral forebears.
