The Beginnings of Man -Part 6

In this final 6th part of the series ‘The Beginnings of Man’ I question the truth behind the writings of Enoch and propose a creation story that suggests Man is not wholly of Earthern origins!

In part 5  of ‘The Beginnings of Man’, I suggested based on biblical texts and creation stories around the world that Gods rather than one all-powerful God were responsible for the birth, or as some would argue, the fall of Man. Good and Evil are theologically defined powers, whereas the sciences will talk in terms of opposites; negative and positive forms of energy. However, science, religion and most philosophic and metaphysical tomes do agree on one ‘truth’, that Man has a hierarchical form of consciousness, albeit they have different ways of defining it. Simply stated in means Man thinks of himself as created uniquely by the unknowable and all his experience is purposed to achieve oneness with the unknowable. Consciousness begins with the (unknown) demand to achieve oneness, which develops multi levels of consciousness, that purpose the self to unify and achieve the goal of oneness.

In Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain cosmology, for example, they see the process of creation as an extremely long cosmic period (an aeon) called a Kalpa —often described as a “day of Brahma” lasting 4.32 billion years, which ends in an equally long period of dissolution called Pralaya. In Christianity and Islam one omnipotent power begins and ends all and in the process define how we progress to oneness by the guidance of good over evil understanding. Whatever creation process you subscribe too, or not, we objectively understand our belief or non-belief in a hierarchical expression, which ultimately defines a oneness achieved by understanding the purpose ‘God’ intended of us.

And we do this at all levels of conscious awareness. At a prosaic level we function to process, be it an action, a memory, or an idea in the same way. It’s better if we resolve the need, or worse if we don’t. Either one or other  ‘ending’ is predicated to improve understanding.

In all post flood theological writings we are told that beginning of everything is unknowable, i.e. God which equates to zero and all endings are attributable to God, which again equates to zero.

Now let us look at the hierarchical process of understanding in the case of Adam.

The story told in Genisis, is believed to be written about 1440–1400 BC during Moses’ lifetime, thought some scholars argue it reached its final form much later, around the 6th–5th century BC. As the story is written it suggests that Adam and Eve are single persons. Adam, as I’ve already indicated would have been a population not a single entity, and Eve likewise.

The key points of the story in Genisis are, in Chapter 1 ‘God’ creates Man in His own image on the 5th day when He also creates all other forms of Earth life and gives Man the power over all life on Earth. In Chapter 2, God creates Man from the dust of the ground and the Garden of Eden and enables Man(who is named Adam) to eat freely all except from the Tree of Knowledge. Seeing Adam needs a mate (all the animals etc. have mates) He creates Eve. In Chapter 3 the Serpent tells Eve that eating from the Knowledge Tree will give her the powers of a God. Eve ‘eats’ and causes Adam to ‘eat’. They become aware of their nakedness (of their Earth origin). God curses them above all forms of vertebrae life for as long as they live and casts them out of the Garden of Eden. Adam describes Eve as the mother of all living.

God refers to Himself as ‘us’, So that suggests He was ‘many’. He creates Man on the 5th day along with all other forms of life but doesn’t initially give him (or other forms of life) physical presence. Only when the Garden of Eden physically created does he physically create Man as Adam who has dominion over all forms of life. Eve is created out of Adam who gains awareness of the forbidden knowledge which gives her a god-like status, shares it with Adam who likewise becomes aware of his god-like nature. God (the many) curses them and throws them out of the Garden.

According to this story told in Genisis, Man must repent his wickedness and hope that God will eventually forgive and restore his original well-being; a beginning, which it must be said was God-like in no need of a mate. A spiritual journey that goes on beyond physical death. All well and good, but Enoch appears to suggest God was many!

The Book of Enoch predates Genisis and has a chequered history. Authorship is traditionally attributed to Enoch, the great‑grandfather of Noah, although scholars agree the text is a composite work, compiled over time We now know it was preserved in part in the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran written more than 2,200 years ago in Aramaic, other scholarly sources suggest it was written in the 2nd century BC. Given it refers to pre and post flood global events the source is much earlier, and we suspect that some parts are missing and some parts have been authored by Jewish scribes. The work is widely regarded as a mythology and an Antichrist dialogue by Christianity, but given it predates Genisis (chapter 6  ‘sons of God’ and ‘giants), we should seriously examine what it has to say about the birth of Man.

Enoch refers to God as the ‘Most Holy’ and he does suggest they are many. He refers to the Watchers as having watched the Earth for a long time. He also makes it clear the rebellious angels are Watchers and sons of god and the Holy Ones are also Watchers and are those angels who did not incarnate to the Earth, Less the religious symbolism It reads like this….

An intelligent race of Beings who have been observing the life forming on Earth for some time decide, in part, to migrate and incarnate some of their selves to the Earth’s atmosphere. They are highly evolved and their bodily forms are not composed of common matter. The bodies they do have are largely composed of Dark Matter but also other forms of Matter which we know must exist but as yet don’t know about. As their forms adapt to the energetic nature of the Earth’s atmosphere they are gravitationally drawn toward the Earth’s surface attracted to an evolving form of ape we know as the Hominid species, which according to our fossil records were present on Earth 7 million years ago. And I suggest this correlates with the Genisis text where God created Man on the 5th day of creation, but -and it’s an important but -had yet to create him physically in the Garden of Eden.

This causes an evolutionary change in the Hominid family which gives rise to Homo heidelbergensis (700’000 years ago) and ongoing developing into Homo Sapiens, 300’000 years ago. The physical migration of these ‘intelligent beings’ that Enoch calls the ‘Watchers’ cause the birth of Adam and Eve and the subsequent ‘conflict’, in which the Earth born ‘serpent’ nature created male and female expressions of the ‘Watchers’ Self. Neither Genisis or Enoch approximate a dateline when Adam and Ever were created. What we can be assured of is the existence of civilisations prior to the great flood which likely evolved over thousands of years. I suggest the incarnation of these intelligent beings (that Enoch calls the rebellious angels) evolved gradually, not as religious texts imply as immediate.

The incarnated ‘intelligence’ must ingest common matter to maintain their Self natured body. Now driven by their incarnation to unite and achieve the stability of Self they alternatively seek to harmonise male and female but the process of doing this causes births of ‘lesser selves’. Ultimately their migrating Self influences the development of Homo Sapiens whose brain capacity exponentially grew bigger. Initially (for some thousands of years) some human forms of birth are very large -anywhere between 9 and 15 ft. tall with corresponding girths and possessed of great strength.

Before proceeding further it’s important to understand the Watchers advised by Enoch as Sons of God were prior to incarnating as physical (Light) matter beings, were an embodied Dark Matter variant. In other words they were observing human development unseen. Dark Matter customises itself to the regular matter it interreacts with. Whilst scientists have been able to identify clumping of dark matter in light matter galactic formations, they have yet to understand how or why this gravitational pull (attraction) to regular matter occurs.

Neither does physics yet know the structural nature of Dark Matter. What they do know is Dark Matter represents 85% or all Matter.  The driving force of Dark Matter is Dark Energy. Scientists know it is the primal driving force in the universe, but they have no knowledge (at present) of its composition, how or why it occurs. They do know when the formation of regular matter changes its Black Matter counterpart changes too, insofar it is still present whatever the ongoing formation of regular matter changes into. What they don’t realise or can in any way accept is when living organisms die their Black Matter counterparts continue to evolve!

Dark Energy has gravitational pulling power which positively affects the growth of life forms. Dark Matter is said to interact extremely weakly with ordinary matter and does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, but over time it has a positive changing effect on regular matter. Which does suggest Dark Matter vibrates at speeds greater than the speed of light.

The creation of the ‘Eve’ population was clearly a variant on the initial ‘Adam’ migration with much closer alignment with Earth’s energies that ultimately caused them to take on ‘human’ forms. Their changed hybrid forms now required, in addition to their cosmic nature, Earth born energies to sustain their form of consciousness. Giants( advised by Enock as the Nephilim)  were born and their hybrid nature varied -some needing more Earth bearing energies than others and intent on evolving differently conflicted with other forms of ‘Man’ evolving I suggest from the Homo heidelbergensis varient of Man.

The larger part of Enoch’s writing describes how the ‘Holy Ones’ on witnessing mayhem of Earth punished these ‘rebellious angels’ in such ways that suggests the Earth itself would suffer cataclysmic upheavals. The text goes on to describe how he (Enoch) was taken up into the Seventh Heaven and shown how and why the ‘Holy Ones’ were both judge and jury and given the task of informing the rebellious angels what would happen to them on Earth. all this suggests Enoch had unlimiting powers, himself a migrated ‘Watcher’ in human form later transformed into the angel Metatron, given a throne, crown, and titles such as “Prince of the Presence” and “Lesser YHWH.”

Enoch not only names the rebellious leaders; Shemyaza, who was the overall leader, Urakiba, Ramshel, Kokabel, Tamiel, Ratsamel, Daniel, Ezeqiel, Barakel, Azazel, Armaros, Batriel, Ananel, Zakiel, Shemshiel, Shahariel, Toniel, Turiel, Yamiel, and Zahariel, he further states there were 200 angels and cryptically “and of all the others with them”. He names some of these Angels taught men hidden knowledge, particularly focussing on Azazel who “taught men to make swords, and daggers, and shields, and breastplates. And he showed them the metals of the earth, and the art of working them, and gold and silver bracelets and ornaments, and the art of making up the eyes with antimony and eye-paint, and of beautifying the face, and the most precious and choice stones, and all kinds of coloured dyes”.

He goes on to say the leader of the leaders, Shemyaza, “taught spells against the mind, and the use of cut roots of plants, and Armaros magical skills and the release of spells, and Barakel taught astrologers, and Kokabel portents of the stars, and Tamiel taught portents of the weather, and Shahariel taught the path of the Moon. And they all began to reveal these mysteries to their wives and their children”.

Enoch initially names the Holy Ones; Michael, Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel (and later more…), saying that MEN petitioned them to prevail upon the ‘Most High great and Holy One’ to prevent the destruction of the Earth. Clearly, Michael, Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel were Archangels having dominion over the development of human life on Earth. He goes on to say; Shemyaza and Azazel were given authority by the Archangels to reveal the ‘secrets of heaven’, which is kind of saying that the Archangels were responsible for the destruction that was taking place on Earth!

In chapter 12 Enoch tells us “the Watchers called to me, Enoch the scribe, and said to me: Enoch, scribe of righteousness, go and inform the Watchers of Heaven, who have left the High Heaven and the sanctuary of the Eternal Covenant, and have corrupted themselves with the women, and have done as the sons of men do, and have taken wives for themselves, and have become completely corrupt on the Earth. They will have on Earth, neither peace, nor forgiveness of sin, for they will not rejoice in their sons. The slaughter of their beloved ones they will see; and over the destruction of their sons they will lament and petition for ever. But they will have neither mercy nor peace.”

The Watchers in Heaven are ‘Angels’ who did not incarnate and are distancing themselves from those who did incarnate. In chapter 13 Enoch now goes to Azazel (note.. not the leader of the rebellious angels Shemyaza) to say, ““You will not have peace.  A severe sentence has come out against you: That you should be bound. And, you will have neither rest, nor mercy, nor the granting of any petitions, because of the wrong which you have taught, and because of all the works of blasphemy, and wrong, and sin, which you have shown to the sons of men. And then, I went and spoke to them, all together, and they were all afraid; fear and trembling seized them.”

Despite the admonition the rebellious angels still make a petition!

“And they asked me to write out, for them, the record of a petition, so that they might receive forgiveness, and to take a record of their petition up to the Lord in Heaven. For they were not able, from then on, to speak, and they did not raise their eyes to Heaven, out of shame for the sins for which they had been condemned. And then I wrote out the record of their petition, and their supplication, in regard to themselves, and the deeds of each one of them, and in regard to what they asked; that they should obtain absolution and length of days.”

Then in chapter 15, the ‘Holy Ones’ who are the Watchers in Heaven instruct Enoch “go say, to the Watchers of Heaven, who sent you to petition on their behalf: You ought to petition on behalf of men, not men on behalf of you!”, which is a bit confusing, to say the least, but it can only mean the giants as sired by the ‘Adam and Eve’ incarnations were petitioning the ‘Holy Ones’ to excuse their actions which caused ‘normal’ men to suffer.

Some giants maintained the cosmic order of consciousness and attempted to create harmony between the various forms that had evolved and ultimately the changing nature of the Earth’s atmosphere and surface life caused upheavals in the Earth which resulted in a changed landscape and great floods. Many perished. Some, however, survived the Great Flood.

The conclusion must be when accounting for the ‘evidence’ of religious texts and the physical evidence of Anthropology, and physics, and it must be said the so-called mythical evidence of civilisations prior the Great Flood, the beginnings of Man took place over many thousands of years, and his uniqueness was created by the interaction of an ‘alien’ intelligence.

In summary of this six-part series ‘The Beginnings of Man …..

I began this series of writings by acknowledging the nature of Man has evolved over millions of  years. The evidence given by palaeontology dates the beginnings of Man to around 6–7 million years ago with the emergence of early hominins in Africa.  Homo erectus (“upright man”) appeared around 1.9 million years ago and persisted until at least 110,000 years. The earliest homo sapiens (according to Anthropology) were hunter-gatherers, and around 13,000 years ago, the Neolithic Revolution introduced agriculture and permanent settlements -and that is the beginning of the Flood period that ended approximately 9’000 years BCE.

Today there is still more unknown than known of the purpose and action of DNA in Man. Our self-interested view of other species assumes they either don’t have  self-awareness, or in the case of vertebrates it’s limited, and that is now knowing Dark Matter is 85% of all Matter! Our DNA knowledge cannot tell us the nature of Man’s consciousness. I suspect it could, if only  we were able to read the DNA’s Dark Matter composition!

Myths and Folklore posit the existence of human civilisations in Lemuria, Atlantis, Hyperborea, and Adamos in the pre and post Deluvian period which approximates to the ending of the Younger Dryas age 13’000 to12’000 BCE. Around 15 to10,000 years ago, the planet was emerging from the Pleistocene Ice Age into the Holocene, a period of more stable and warmer climate. Massive ice sheets, such as the Laurentide Ice Sheet in North America and the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in Europe, were rapidly retreating, releasing vast amounts of meltwater into the oceans causing global sea levels to rise, submerging low-lying coastal areas and reshaping continental coastlines and the disappearance of major land bridges that had connected continents. Physical evidence of ancient civilisations would have been lost in this major upheaval of earth masses.

Stories of a Great Flood appear in many cultures. In all these myths evolved Beings taught the Homo Sapiens survivors how to reclaim good soil, domesticate plants and trees, learn building techniques, mathematics, astronomy, and the ability to record their actions in symbolic forms of writing. And the earliest form of recorded history speaks of Gods interacting with humans, and in some accounts birthing gigantic forms of Man with powers able to harness and control the elemental order of the cosmological Earth. The Popol Vuh creation story is adamant that the Gods experimented, made mistakes!

Humans were flawed by Design!

Man’s ego mediates between the conscious and unconscious and guided by two concepts which often war with each other, namely a need to understand rights and wrongs and the belief in their self-creation; I am what I am. It is evident from recorded history the ego of Man is intent on self-creation. However, because the ancestral nature of Man is elemental in origin it means that the id -source of all his instinctual expressions can never be fully rationalised. In practise Man’s rational mind is constantly attempting to balance the promotion of his superego with the instinctual irrational impulses that are generated by his ancestral heritage. He is continually in conflict with himself, which is why history keeps repeating itself, or as some would say he never learns….

                His inability to consistently and truthfully channel instinctual awareness is entirely due to the development of his rational mind which restricts the id of his consciousness the ability to express awareness of his ancestral memory, implicit to his DNA. This points to a fundamental difference between himself and other forms of Earth Life. All forms of reflective consciousness, whatever the species, is a form of mind that interacts between the id and the superego. We can confidently say the behavioural responses of vertebrates bar Man are predictable. Man’s human brain is said to be three times larger than our nearest Hominid ancestor, but that does not explain why we operates differently! 

Man so-called mythical and theological writings refer to a union between god-like beings and ‘Men’. The acceptance of God(s) creating Man is fundamental to the concept of all major religions, but they cannot tell you why God(s) chose to do so. For example in the book of Genisis it states the sons of God saw the daughters of Man were attractive, producing offspring described as “mighty men of old, men of renown”; giants who are also recorded in  Deuteronomy and Numbers. The concept of gods mating with men is a common theme in various mythologies and religions, for example, in Greek, Indian, and Islamic Mythology.

In simple terms the bible is telling us God created Man to live harmoniously in the Garden of Eden. Initially all was hunky dory until God decide Adam needs a mate and creates Eve who ‘misbehaves’. Adam doesn’t do anything to stop Eve.  God is furious and causes Adam to seed her with his sperm causing Eve to ever after to suffer the pangs of childbirth and banishes them both from the Garden. It looks like the omnipotent God wasn’t in control of His creation!

The writings of Enoch (banned from the bible) clearly predate the writing of Genisis, Deuteronomy and Numbers and clearly talk of an interaction between Gods and Men before and after the Great Flood. Modern commentators interpret his dire end of existence warnings as referring to Man in today’s world, but NO! These writings refer to actions between Gods and Men before the great flood 9’000 years BCE. Enoch identifies Watchers who have been observing Man’s development for a long period of time. He describes them as Sons of God at three levels; the Holy of Holy’s, the Holy Ones, and the Fallen Ones.

The Fallen Ones, rebellious Angels of God, mate with Man and create giants offsprings he calls the Nephilim, some supporting Man’s development, others intent on their destruction. Enoch’s ‘Garden’ is not a utopian paradise. The Holy Ones, Archangels are clearly complicit in causing the arrival on Earth of the fallen Ones and it takes the Holy of Holy’s guidance to ensure the Holy Ones reject the petition from the Fallen Angels who want ‘absolution of their sins’ and cause their destruction by all manners of earthly upheavals, which would be in the period of time we recognise as the Pleistocene Ice Age merging into the Holocene period which approximates to 9’000 years BCE.

Enoch not only identifies the Holy Ones and the Fallen Ones by name and the genealogy of ‘Jewish’ names prior to great flood it is clear from other Jewish writings they continued after the flood. The rebellious angels taught Man skills (eternal truths) he hitherto did not have; Astrology, Astronomy, climatology, knowledge to utilise Earth energies, weapons to make war and how to defend against it, and civilised men to build communities and ‘beatify’ themselves. And he appears to be saying this was after they mated with men and their offsprings all spoke the same language.

With these skills the Nephilim and their offsprings attempted to unify an order of ‘humanity’ that would unite with the ‘Holy of Holy’s’ but as recorded in Genisis the ‘Tower of Babel’ was destroyed, and a multitude of languages became apparent in Man on Earth.

These are the kind of skills which folklore says were possessed by the inhabitants of Lemuria, Atlantis and other pre-Deluvian civilisations.  And after the great flood we see the same skills gradually emerging again. And, by the way, we also see the continued existence of giants, the most famous being Goliath, said to 10ft tall, who wielded a spear whose head weighed over 15 pounds! Not just in the Middle East. There is evidence to show they were present in Mesopotamia, North and South America where likewise men were being taught by evolved beings the skills as shown in Enoch.

Whilst Enoch advises ‘Kings’ who lived for hundreds of years, the Sumerian pre-flood writings refer to ‘Kings’ who lived for many thousands of years. And what does all this mean less the religious symbolism the stories are presented as?

An intelligent race of Beings incarnate into the form of Man with mixed results. Unable to undo what they have done, warring between different kinds of their offsprings and the changing nature of the physical earth ultimately creating a form of Man who survives the Great Flood, but he is unable knowledgably to know of his origins.

It is clear these originating Beings were not composed of Light Matter and during the incarnation cycle, over thousands of years, Light Matter dominated the Dark Matter composition of the emergence of Man and created a form of consciousness that is self-destructive.

The causal change to the human race, as I have described, is present in Man today, but the order of our consciousness is bent on self-destruction. What needs to change if we are to survive as a species?

I intend to address this question in my next series of writings entitled ‘Back to the Future’.

The Beginnings of Man -Part 5

All creation stories speak of the downfall of Man and all subsequent religious and philosophical works -bar some philosophical tracts in the 18th century onward emphasise the importance of God belief and advise non-believers that Hell awaits them after death, which to put it in simple terms means if you don’t know yourself you do not know God (your beginning).

Enoch not only tells us that some of the Watchers are rebellious angels, but they were also Sons of God who have been observing man for some time prior to their interaction with humankind, and that could mean many thousands of years. By advising the Watchers as Angels he is saying they were not flesh and blood but of an ‘eternal’ nature.

He also appears to be saying the Watchers needed no food or drink and could not be observed which suggests their energetic nature was a kind of Dark Matter conception able to physically manifest and disappear at will. Initially they lived in harmony with the Earth. however they became increasingly interested to incarnate themselves and did so by impregnating the female version of Man then present on Earth. The Watchers caused the birth of physical giants who Enoch tells us ruled the Earth and calls them the Nephilim. Their environment we are told was ‘The Garden of Eden’. And that can mean the Nephilim occupied the Earth for many thousands of years. This is the birthing  period of ‘Adam’ whose intended purpose was to live in harmony with of all forms of Earth life.

In Genisis we are told that the first Man Adam was created from the dust of the ground and ‘God’ breathed life into him, and given that Adam disavowed ‘God’s’ purpose by eating along with Eve the ‘apple’, the question that arises here is – was it THE ‘God’ (all powerful one and only Creator) or was it the sons of ‘God’, the Watchers who created Man? If so, then the Serpent, described as divine knowledge was the Earth ‘intelligence’ which the Watchers intended to connect with.

Due to the slowing down of the planet’s energy vibrations and their interaction The male and female poles of the androgynous Adam’s nature manifested. Initially the giants physical constitution was androgynous but influenced by the Earth’s energetic nature, brought about by the vibrational order of the Earth slowing, primarily due to tidal dissipation, where the Moon’s gravitational pull creates tides in the oceans and converting rotational energy into heat, their interaction with Earth energies would have polarised their male and female characteristics.

This gave birth to ‘the rib that gave birth to Eve’ as a sexually biased female as Adam then became a sexually biased male. What previously had begun as an alien unobservable form of energy in no need of Earth’s primal energies to feed itself became a physical incarnation that needed Earth formed energies to fuel and procreate. This division of the androgenous ‘Adam’ destroyed the harmony that existed prior. The prior state being the Garden of Eden where ‘Adam’ lived in harmony with the world order. Neither the new ‘Adam’ and the offspring ‘Eve’ could know the ‘right’ form of knowledge harmoniously expressed by the androgenous Adam. In the search for self-awareness conflict ensued. As a result the Garden of Eden ‘disappeared’.  Earth knowledge is symbolised by the Serpent. The symbol of the serpent signifies the secret knowledge of renewal and immortality but wrongly understood it can generate destructive dividing forces. Emerging Man is consciously unaware of his birthright.

Intentionally the Nephilim interacted with ‘the daughters of men who they found fair’ and from that coupling produced men of renown whose physical stature was taller and stronger than the human-like population. We should also realise that these offsprings were hybrids and became sexually conflicted on producing children. Such conflict can stimulate a warring nature.

By attributing divine status to the Watchers and their earth-like incarnation, the Nephilim, and describing some of them as rebellious Enoch is saying they broke away from the order of creation that ‘God’ intended for the evolution of the Earth, This is saying the Watchers, and the incarnated giants were intended to occupy the Earth, but some of them caused unnecessary division.

There is no mention of the role of the women ‘Gods’ had sexual interaction with to birth the Nephilim in these biblical accounts, but the female is shown to be prominent in power over men in many mythical stories. Matriarchal led groupings of people flourished, not only in so-called primitive societies, also in the Minoan civilisation (3300 – 1900 BCE) and the Indus Valley civilisation (3300 -1900 BCE) with histories that suggest their influence began in pre-diluvian times. And because all major religions and many myths have given god-like status to female personages having the ability to know the outcome of events, it does suggest the women who had sexual relationships with the Nephilim gave birth to females who were transvestite sexually.

Around 15 to10,000 years ago, the planet was emerging from the Pleistocene Ice Age into the Holocene, a period of more stable and warmer climate. Massive ice sheets, such as the Laurentide Ice Sheet in North America and the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in Europe, were rapidly retreating, releasing vast amounts of meltwater into the oceans and causing global sea levels to rise, submerging low-lying coastal areas and reshaping continental coastlines. This retreat also led to the disappearance of major land bridges that had connected continents during the Ice Age.

Ancient histories and early religious texts from different parts of the world do speak of giants in Asia and the Americas.  In the late 1950’s, during road construction in the Euphrates Valley of southeast Turkey, fossilized human remains were uncovered. At the site, an engineer measured a femur (the long leg bone) and reported it measured to be 120 cm (47.24 in.). This giant would have stood about 14 ft tall. South and North America excavations show similar evidence of giants, but modern archaeological institutions refuse to accept their validity, and it has to be said that some such evidence has without doubt been manufactured. One argument denying their existence has suggested that a human over 8 feet tall would not have the strength of bone to support its fleshly weight, but that conveniently ignores the fact our hunter gatherer ancestors in the Pleistocene age had much stronger bones than modern humans. Perhaps this was a skeleton of one of the pre-flood Nephilim offsprings.

In modern times the Sasquatch is a large, hairy, humanlike creature is said by some people to exist in the northwestern United States, and a similar creature, the Yeti, is said to have been sighted and a footprint photographed in the Himalayas. The Old Testament Bible has several entries that refer to giants. Genesis 6:4 states: “There were giants in the earth in those days.” Deuteronomy 2 discusses multiple races of giants: Emims, Horims and Zamzummims.  Deuteronomy 3:11 tells about the bed of the Giant Og, King of Bashan. It was 9 cubits by 4 cubits (approximately 14 ft long by 6 ft wide). This giant, the last of the Rephaim clan, was probably about 12 ft tall! In Numbers 13:28-33 the Israelite spies investigated the land of Canaan in preparation for an invasion. They reported a race of giants that made them feel like mere grasshoppers. Their descendants entered the land and conquered these giants (the Anakim). The most popular Anakim giant was Goliath, who stood 10 ft tall (I Samuel 17:4). By contrast, Israel’s King Saul was described: “from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people” (I Samuel 9:2). Yet he was not considered a giant.

The Bible also informs us that Goliath wielded a massive spear, “And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and the spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron:” (I Samuel 17:7). That’s over 15 pounds of metal at the end of the spear! A hoard of copper tools and weapons was discovered buried at Kfar Monash in Israel. The axe heads were identified as being identical to those found at Tell es-Safi (Gath). But the huge copper spear heads were the most striking. The archaeological report that published this find claimed the spears were too big to have been wielded and must have been used just for decoration! But the weapons show evidence of having been used, perhaps by one of Goliath’s  giant relatives (II Samuel 21:16). These ancient tools are currently displayed in an Israel Museum.

There is creditable evidence of giants in South America, for example in Patagonia. The Spanish during their colonisation of the country called the big-footed giants “Patagones,” which became the basis for the region’s name, described as being 10-12 feet tall. Giant skeletons have been unearthed in the United States. The Mississippian (Mound Builder) civilization was an early North America culture that predated the arrival of European settlers, flourishing from 800 AD to 1600 AD. This culture covered an area from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, building thousands of large earthen mounds. In Cahokia, Monk’s Mound is as big as a football field and stands 100 ft up in the air (19 million cubic ft of earth)! The Cahokia Museum displays a series of axe heads that were discovered at the site. The larger ones weigh over 30 pounds and would require a giant to wield them!

Sites like Göbekli Tepe in modern-day Turkey, dating to around 9600 BCE, reveal complex stone constructions, astronomical alignments, and organized labour, suggesting early ceremonial or religious centres. It does not show any evidence of a farming community settlement and whilst there is evidence of hunters occupation one has to question if astronomy and the complex ceremonial evidence was known to the hunter type humans of that period. Coastal areas may have hosted settlements that were later submerged due to rising seas, such as the sunken city of Dwarka in India, dated to around 7500 BCE. This city clearly identified in the Mahabharata, which itself dates back over 3’000 years, previously thought to be a myth, is still being excavated but with increasing certainty it was the city established by the Lord Krishna and eventually lost to the rising seas. Yet again a civilisation entirely removed from hunter gatherer communities said to be our early ancestors.

The Neolithic period, 10,000 BCE to 2,000 BCE, also known as the New Stone Age, is according to known science characterized by the development of agriculture, the domestication of plants and animals, and the establishment of permanent settlements, but it cannot account for the deep knowledge apparent in the ancient carvings recorded in stone. Since the awareness we have of these early societies comes from myths, it would do well to understand what a myth is and how they became part of recorded history.

It can only mean some form of (unlike) intelligence interacted with an early form of our human nature. In the absence of knowing who they were but in knowledge of the powers bestowed, surviving homo sapiens called them Gods.

Another question that should be asked is given the apparent skills in building structures with techniques we still cannot understand in today’s world and having mathematical skills and accurate knowledge of the cosmos, why would the inheritors in the post-diluvian epoch only able to record their ability in the form of symbols and picturesque writing? And nowhere is there any evidence which reveals what these forms of knowledge were. For example; the ability to apparently soften stone, as attested by the Lion Rock in Sri Lanka, known as Sigiriya, a fortress and palace complex, which can be dated back to the 5th century AD when it was built by King Kashyapa I.  In the city of Cusco in Peru, lies the walled complex of Saksaywaman. The site is famed for its remarkable large dry-stone walls with boulders carefully cut to fit together tightly without mortar.  The stones used in the construction had weights up and above 150 tonnes. 

In attempting to timeline and understand the beginnings of Man the meagreness of physical evidence presents challenges which can only be met by an exhaustive analysis of what evidence there is. And as there is clearly a schism of understanding between the physical sciences, anthropology, palaeontology, and religions, it has been my task to interpret what has been recorded in order to establish the most likely causes and effects which gave birth to Man.

Man’s beginnings can be said with some confidence by Palaeontology to have begun some 300’000 years ago and at least 3 versions existed before the advent of Modern Man. Religiously speaking creation myths advise at least 3 versions -before the Fall, before the Flood, and after the Flood.  The Popol Vuh creation story describes these as Mud People and Wood People who were succeeded by the Maize People. Mud People are described able to speak but their words are meaningless. They dissolve in water which indicates their bodies were not carbon based. Calling them Mud People suggests their form was elemental and governed by fire. They were destroyed by the Gods as inhabitant failures. Their successors, the Wood People can speak, reproduce, and build houses — but they have no hearts, no minds, and no memory of their creators. A great flood destroys them. Their own grinding stones, cooking pots, and dogs attack them. The survivors become monkeys.

Given this is a description voiced in the language and understanding of post-diluvian people it is saying their own inventions caused their downfall and that other lesser species of animal sought their destruction. By saying they had no hearts or minds is to suggest they did not accept the concept of a higher nature -underlined by the statement they ‘had no memory of their creator’. This does suggest the Wood People were intelligent, but they were ‘narrow-minded’, and those that survived became animalistic in nature. The third iteration of Mankind described as the first human beings were the Maize People who were made from white and yellow maize dough by the grandmother goddess Xmucane, able to think, speak, see, and give thanks

The Popol Vuh tells us they were the ancestors of the K’iche’ people a post-diluvian civilisation before Columbia was created. Xmucane was along with Xpiacoc the original creators. By calling them the Maize people they are saying the human being who could think was born out of the Earth with the ability to create and with awareness of their creator -hence the ability to think, speak, see, and give thanks. What the Popol Vuh doesn’t directly say, any more than does other creation stories, is the forms of Man succeeded by the ‘thinking’ Man inherited the ‘essence’ of his forebears.

All creation stories speak of the downfall of Man and all subsequent religious and philosophical works -bar some philosophical tracts in the 18th century onward emphasise the importance of God belief and advise non-believers that Hell awaits them after death, which to put it in simple terms means if you don’t know yourself you do not know God (your beginning).

The demise and destruction of prior civilisations all point to a failure of understanding and given our own civilisation is most likely to fail too it does suggest the human being is ‘wired up’ wrongly. A fundamental shift is required to right the wrong. Religions and philosophers have been trying ever since our survival of the Great Flood to advise how this can be achieved.

And now in the 21st century with our planetary sources of prime energies plundered and our usage poisoning the atmosphere, populations exponentially increasing generation after generation, technology becoming self-enabling, and people knowing less and less about themselves, we must solve the puzzling problem that leads to our self-destruction.

And can we?

Yes, we can but it does require a fundamental shift of consciousness. Are we ready to do that? No, we are not. One can only hope and pray (if you really know how to) we don’t destroy ourselves before we can. In part 6 which concludes this series I take a closer look at Enoch’s writings, which some have described as the Anti-Christ, propose how in reality Man did come into being.

The Royal Train

I conceived this poem over 50 years ago. Dissatisfied with the initial draft I did no more but over the years one or two key lines continued to haunt me. Early in June 2024, I managed to fall out of a tree I was pruning. My injuries included my left broken arm, hand, and wrenched neck.  As a left-handed person that put a stop to many activities, including writing. Trolling through a listing of unfinished poetry the old draft came back in view. Unable to do much else without help, with one unsteady right-handed finger I began to rewrite it.

The Royal Train is now finished. There are two words in the poem you may not be familiar with, they are Djinn and Yama. Djinn is an Arabic plural noun meaning elemental earth-bound spirits hidden from sight. Yama is the Hindu God of death and justice, son of the Sun God Surya, who judges the souls of the dead and depending upon their deeds, assigns them to the realm of the Pitris, (their soul heritage) or to Naraka, (Hell) or to be reborn on Earth.

Humming gently, whistle muted                      

The Royal Train arrives,                           

Auto enabled                                              

and expectant of deaths                                                   

it screeches driverless to halt                

at Rebirth Platform number one.                     

Doors open.                                                

Into the darkened interior                      

you float                                          

light as a feather, half asleep,                

jostling to get a window seat.                

Dreaming, so you believe                                    

The tangled web you often weave.                              

You’ll not hear the whistle keening      

the train restart                                         

Or know its full and wide within                       

But you will hear, and feel                         

the pulsing coupled driving wheels      

relentlessly rhyming        

      abba du by abba du by   

       abba du by abba du by                                 

Cyclical sounds dispelling time              

unfolding memories, child-like              

motivating youthful desires.

Easily thoughts become creative          

Manifesting a desirous world                

pulsating independent forms,               

life needy forms that gratify,                 

satiate, and has you wake                                               

and expostulate                             

to the rhyming wheels                             

♫ do what you will, do what you will♫

Is this dying you ask of me                      

travelling free able to see,                      

testifying                                         

life doesn’t end?                                                    

To begin it’s all picture postcard           

Dolby Sound and technicolour              

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.            

You, righteously urging the Self             

undo, make up, inwardly heal.  

Elemental forces enter in;                       

purpose forms and whispers Djinn.     

Unreasoned giving thoughts arise,      

happiness spreads like blood within.   

Onward and-upward you spiral                                     

the ego cries unwise!                               

Fear of God enters in:                              

knowledge dissipates.

♫ Hinder me not, hinder me not            

Hinder me not, hinder me not ♫            

Hallelujah, God is Great! 

Here you reign between the points     

of destination and departure                 

coerced to play the part of king            

to this extension of your mind:             

pieces and pawns, two of a kind                                               

aboard the Summerland express,         

resolved to undo, clean the slate,         

begin anew:                                    

entrained upon the ever long                

                                                never-ending                                                                                                                                   pointed track.                                              Yama the Jailer God.

Where will it end?                         

You ask yourself.                            

No sooner said                                           

the melody of chiming wheels              

cease their singing.                                                                                   

Doors slide back,                           

the Station Master speaks                      

”rebirth platform number two!”

A dream of people disembark.              

No such place but it feels like home    

But why you ask, and where am I?       

Here unknown smiley people sing       

and have you fear the child within.                              

No walls here and no pearly gate.        

The old and young in ragged trews      

torn uniforms and winding sheets       

or dressed like you, in Sunday best      

congregate and await their fate.                                               

Loved ones you believed were dead    

appear glowing with health, saying     

do what you will, you’re free, enjoy!   

Youthfully love, rest from the world    

time-out, reinvent and explore.                                    

Your thoughts cease to justify need,   

love bearing energies bond with                      

outpourings of the giving self.               

Harmony prevails,                         

the Way becomes known.             Hallelujah, God is Great!     

Seeds of union germinate,                     

love unfettered starts to grow,              

your mind enjoins to many lives.          

Reason no longer governs form            

upward as mustard seeds you flow                             

all and everything                         

in a spiral flow.                                           

Doing better                                               

more of what was done before.            

The Way becomes your inner state      

Divine reason commands the soul.                              

Karmically you accept your fate.                       

How can I suggest you differ?                

Little do you know, its checkmate        

another game must now begin. Hallelujah, God is Great!             

And then behold the train appears      

gleaming blue royal gold and red.        

And there you are                         

on platform three                          

crowned royally,                            

purposed yet again to steal                    

the apple from the knowledge tree.                            

Driverless it stops with open doors      

and into the lighted carriage                  

you float                                          

light as a feather, soul elite,                   

jostling to get a window seat.                

Knowing how you now believe                                      

why the tangled web deceives.                                     

You’ll not hear the whistle keening      

the train begin,                                          

but you will know                          

why its wide within.                                 

Omnipresent is your soul                        

purposed to achieve its goal.                                         

As expected you can hear                       

the pulsing coupled driving wheels                              

relentlessly rhyming.                               

Clock ticking cyclical sounds                   

Birthing memories                        

motivating earthly thriving.                                            

♫ Abba du by abba du by ♫                   

                        ♫ du by du by abba du by ♫                   

                                                                        ♫ Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve ♫       

♫ Abba du by abba du by ♫

♫ du by du by abba du by ♫

The trains’ jingling rhyme           

Is birthing the earthly mind.                  

Conscience conflicts with           

needy newborn voices, that                   

proclaim their immortality.

And in their chatter promise dies

has you fear the child within                  

will depart                                       

and hollow out your heart.

Another self is looking on:                      

Singular and base.                         

You query why it doesn’t speak            

wrapped up, curled in sleep.                                          

Elemental forces enter in, and              

your single purposed soul divides        

further from the source you ride.         

Every now and then                                  

the whistle blows,                         

wheels hiss and grind.                             

Coaches shudder.                          

Train doors open to a void.                     

The station master’s voice                      

is indistinct.                                    

You cannot tell when or where.            

Bemused, benumbed, and apathetic, 

coerced to play the Chess of Life.                                 

Be you Bishop, or be you Rook             

be you Knight or be you Queen.                                   

Be you foolish, or be you wise,              

believe or not                                             

you will survive.                                         

The Royal Train will call again.   

Here you reign between the points     

of destination and departure.               

Once a prince of past endeavour,         

bodies forming whispering Djinn          

Are serving you, the absent king.                               

Now conscious of the daylight              

weaving anew the tangled web.                       

Predestined to rhyme in miles forecast

ever purposed to the pointed track

the never-ending pointed track.

Yuma the Jailer God.
