... The Dark Gods ...
The Real War For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against
the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world
and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians
6:11-13
The Dark Gods - The ET Origins Of The Human Race by Life Science Fellowship
They quoted the Song of Moses to distinguish between the Most High and the
usurper Jehovah... The notion that humankind was created by some type of
extraterrestrial genetic manipulation, according to some researchers, is the
actual basis of the creation stories found in the ancient Sumerian records
and the later Hebrew scriptures.
This idea is set out in detail in the work of Israeli scholar Zecharia
Sitchin, who uses the Sumerian records to argue that modern homo sapiens
were created by beings from outer space called "Nefilim". He believes that
the Nefilim created humans by genetically modifying homo erectus, then mated
with them and argued over what to do with them. In 1989 Zecharia Sitchin's
radical hypothesis was taken a major step further with the publication of
the book The Gods of Eden, appropriately subtitled: The chilling truth about
extraterrestrial infiltration -- and the conspiracy to keep humankind in
chains.
The author, a Californian lawyer going by the nom de plume "William Bramley"
brought together all the major themes found in earlier ancient astronaut
research and merged them with a unique "conspiracy view of history".
Bramley's thesis, shocking and confronting to nearly all established popular
beliefs, is: Human beings appear to be a slave race breeding on an isolated
planet in a small galaxy. As such, the human race was once a source of labor
for an extraterrestrial civilization and still remains a possession today.
To keep control over its possession and to maintain Earth as something of a
prison, that other civilization has bred a never-ending conflict between
human beings, has promoted spiritual decay, and has erected on Earth
conditions of unremitting physical hardship.
This situation has existed for thousands of years and it continues today.
(The Gods of Eden) The idea that human kind is the product of genetic
engineering carried out by extraterrestrials from outside our tiny planet
challenges both Darwinian evolution and creationism. Have the dogmas of
science and religion blinded us to the truth of our origins? The Christian
church proclaims that a supposedly all-knowing, all-powerful God created
our first parents from mud, in much the same way as a potter moulds clay.
Only when Adam and Eve broke their Creator's rules were they subject to
pain, sickness and death. By disobeying this God, they also condemned
their offspring -- all humanity -- to be sinners. Christianity derives the
unfortunate tale of Adam and Eve from Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew
Bible, or Old Testament. If we interpret the Bible literally, regarding it
as an infallible historical document, we are introduced to a creator God
(Jehovah/Yahweh) who, by his own admission, is jealous, wrathful and full of
vengeance.
The fear of the "Lord" (Jehovah) is constantly stressed throughout the Old
Testament. He is expected to reward those who worship him and are not
delinquent in their observance of the ritual law, by gratifying their
worldly desires for material gains and worldly power. One cannot help but
note that this cruel, bloodthirsty, and selfish God bears a striking
resemblance to the capricious gods of Sumeria. This all too human God,
according to Genesis, took a walk in the "cool of the day," unaware that his
prize humans had spoiled his creation by eating the forbidden fruit.
After this, having chased the first human couple out of Paradise, he
threatens their descendants with his wrath until the day when he drowned the
whole world in a flood. This God Jehovah, as the historian Gibbon observed
in The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, is a "being liable to passion
and error, capricious in his favour, implacable in his resentment, meanly
jealous of his superstitious worship, and confining his partial providence
to a single people and to this transitory life". Research indicates that the
Hebrew Bible, far from being an infallible historical text authored by the
Supreme Being, is a heavily revised compilation of at least two entirely
separate works.
Fused together in the Book of Genesis are two separate works known to
scholars as the northern "E" and southern "J" traditions, which are
supplemented by additional revisions and inserts. In "E" (the Elohist
passages) resides the pre-Judaean tradition of the northern peoples who
exalted the Most High God El and the subordinate Elohim (Shining Ones). The
"J" or "Jehovist" passages describe a totally alien entity, the evil and
contending Jehovah (YHWH), the "Lord". According to Max J. Dimont in Jews,
God and History: "In the 5th century B.C. Jewish priests combined portions
of the `J' and `E' documents, adding a little handiwork of their own (known
as the pious fraud), which are referred to as the "JE" documents, since God
in these passages is referred to as "Jehovah Elohim" (translated as `Lord
God')."
This is why within the Bible we encounter contradictory and conflicting
images of the Supreme God. We find Jehovah, a tribal god, masquerading as
the Supreme Being. The first chapters of Genesis describe an awesome
struggle between two rival powers. There is the Most High God and His Elohim
who create through their own manifest spirit; and the malevolent Lord God,
Jehovah, who created a synthetic being composed of dirt. Jehovah is actually
Satanael, a Shining One who rose in revolt against the Supreme God.
Though later called the One God, the early Hebrews knew Jehovah as only one
of many Elohim. They quoted the Song of Moses to distinguish between the
Most High and the usurper Jehovah: When the Most High (El) gave the nations
their heritage, When He divided mankind, He fixed the territories of the
peoples according to the number of the sons of God; But Jehovah's (YHWH)
share was his people, Jacob was his inherited possession. (Deuteronomy 32:8)
The Gnostic Christians of the early centuries AD, who preserved the original
teachings of Jesus, distinguished between the Heavenly Father and the god of
the Hebrew Bible. Jehovah (YHWH) was not the Father revealed by Jesus.
While the Hebrew Bible revealed a tribal god, the God of Jesus was the
universal Supreme Being of all humanity. The Hebrew god was a god of fear,
Jesus' Heavenly Father was a God of love. In fact, Jesus never referred to
the Heavenly Father as Jehovah. The Gnostic Gospel of Peter states that the
Hebrews were under the delusion that they knew the Supreme Being, but they
were ignorant of him, and knew only a false god, an impostor, whose true
nature was unknown to them. The Gnostics, based on their thorough study of
the Book of Genesis, exposed Jehovah as Satanael the Demiurge, the creative
power of this fallen material world, who is hostile to the Supreme Being.
One Gnostic teacher told how the unknown Father made the angels, the
archangels, powers and dominions. The world, however, and everything in it,
was made by seven particular angels, and man too is a work of the angels.
These angels he described as rebellious feeble artisans. Saturninus
(90-150), who established an important Gnostic community in Syria, taught
that the One True God, the Heavenly Father revealed by Jesus, dwells in the
highest Realm of Light.
Between this transcendent Realm of Light and our finite world exist vast
intermediate hierarchies of archangels, angels and spiritual powers; the
builders of the universe and the fashioners of man. In foolishness and
vanity Satanael rebelled against the Realm of Light, leading astray a
company of angelic beings. Satanael and his minions contrived to trap
spiritual beings in physical bodies. Saturninus told how Satanael's creator
angels endeavoured to create physical human bodies in the image of spiritual
beings.
This way they planned to keep spiritual beings permanently attached to
physical bodies. In Saturninus' account of creation, Satanael's creator
angels could only form a primitive android. It was necessary to animate it
with a spirit being from the upper realms.
Satanael therefore lured down into his soulless universe a light-spark from
the heavenly realms and trapped it within the material body of Adam.
According to Apelles, another early Gnostic teacher, spirit beings were
enticed from their place in the heavenly realms by the opportunity of
physical experience, through the machinations of Jehovah, after which he
bound them in bodies of flesh. Generation succeeded generation, as the
light-sparks took embodiment in human forms.
Soon these spiritual beings became so engrossed in the material world that
they lost all awareness of their origin in the Realm of Light. They found
themselves captured in the world of the Demiurge Satanael. Indeed, they
became slaves to the malevolent creator angels and the things of their world.
The Catholic Church, by accepting the Hebrew Bible in its literal
interpretation, mistook the tribal god Jehovah for the Supreme Being. In
imitation of old Israel, the Church set about establishing a political and
religious empire. Only the Gnostic Christians stood in their way.
The Gnostics quickly found themselves viciously denounced as heretics, their
sacred books banned and burnt. Thanks to the miraculous discovery of several
Gnostic scriptures at Nag Hammadi in Egypt, just fifty years ago, we can
gain a better insight into the Gnostic Christian communities of the early
centuries AD.
A Gnostic work uncovered at Nag Hammadi called The Apocalypse of Adam, is an
enlightening account of the creation of Adam and Eve. This book, dating from
the first century, may be an attempt to reconstruct the original Genesis.
Adam is said to declare: When god had created me out of the earth along with
Eve your mother, I went about with her in a glory which she had seen in the
aeon from which we had come forth [Realm of Light]. She taught me a word of
knowledge of the eternal God. And we resembled the great eternal angels, for
we were higher than the god who had created us and the powers with him, whom
we did not know.
Then god [the Demiurge/Satanael], the ruler of the aeons and the powers,
divided us in wrath. Then we became two aeons. And the glory in our heart(s)
left us. After those days the eternal knowledge of the God of Truth
[Heavenly Father] withdrew from me and your mother Eve. Since this time we
learned about dead things, like men. Then we recognised the god [Demiurge]
who had created us. For we were not strangers to his powers. And we served
him in fear and slavery.
The Gnostics understood that there are many different orders of beings.
Their writings refer to numerous hierarchies of spiritual entities, both of
the Light and of the Darkness. These beings not only move in the subtle
frequencies, but can also take form in the physical dimension. Like the
Essenes and Jesus, the Gnostics recognised the ability of "angels" to embody
themselves in the flesh. The fallen angels were most often termed rulers or
Archons, and the chief Archon known by various names such as Satanael,
Jehovah, Ildabaoth, Sacklas, Satan, Sammael, etc.
They possessed the power to create bodies and believed themselves to be
gods. As a consequence of their degraded state, they are hostile to
humanity and attempt to prevent mankind from attaining to spiritual
liberation. John A. Keel, author of Disneyland of the Gods, and Our Haunted
Planet, argues that the late 20th century interest in extraterrestrials,
aliens and UFOs is just a modern day attempt to come to terms with the same
forces other peoples and cultures once identified as "demons" or "fallen
angels": The flying saucers are merely another frame of reference to provide
us with acceptable explanations for some of these grotesque events. An
invisible phenomenon is always stalking us and manipulating our beliefs. We
see only what it chooses to let us see, and we usually react.
The notion that the human body is the work of malevolent creator angels
remarkably parallels the idea that extraterrestrials engaged in genetic
engineering to create homo sapiens. Are we dealing with exactly the same
phenomenon? Did the Gnostics know the truth about Man's real origin and the
unseen powers that seek to keep human beings in bondage? Are the malevolent
creator angels who, say the Gnostics, stole spiritual beings and trapped
them in physical bodies, the same as the extraterrestrial creator gods of
Sumeria? Consider the following observation of a modern Gnostic scholar, Dr.
Stephen Hoeller: The star-angels and other ruling spirits appear as
tyrannical, limiting agencies in this Gnostic view.
They are usurpers who lord it over humanity and creation in order to enhance
their own self-importance and glory. It is incumbent upon the knower to
realize this and to extricate himself from the grasp of these powers
whenever possible. The existential predicament of human life lies in the
uncomfortable dominance to which these lesser godlings subject the spirits
of human beings, and from which only the experiential realization of Gnosis
can extricate them. (Jung and the Lost Gospels)
The creator angels or Archons are also characterised as terrible powers or
forces of negativity and illusion. They are cosmic Prison Warders seeking to
keep their human charges bound to the Earth. Caught up in the illusions of
material existence, Man believes he is just a body and he cannot grasp the
truth of his origin. This condition perpetuates spiritual blindness, leaving
human kind in captivity to the Prison Warders. However, the Gnostics never
ceased from proclaiming that Man's True Being is not his body, and the
material world is definitely not his true home.
Man is a spiritual being and his purpose is to realise his higher Self, that
light-spark exiled in the physical body. His destiny is to return to the
Realm of Light, his true home beyond the stars. We must be reawakened to our
origin, where we came from, how we became trapped on this planet, and how we
can achieve liberation. The Gnostics urge us to escape from the trap of the
world and open our eyes to our true origin.
