*On the Identity of Deity*
Over millennia in many cultures throughout the world, many, many gods and goddesses have been observed to be venerated by the different peoples. Leading so many to perceive the ancients as 'quite foolish and ‘un-informed’ for having such pitiful and pointless beliefs'. Contrary to the opinion of the masses, the ancients continued to point out the importance of the deities in their pantheons which ranged from a few to hundreds and even thousands! Through literature, music and traditions from around the world, it is easy to see the important roles deities have played in people’s lives since time immemorial and how they have been an integral part of our Human society; inspiring fear, love, respect, feelings of gratitude, protection, vengeance, etc. for many a person.
Now, just who are these entities that people have paid so much attention and given so much devotion to? Who are they that made men leave their homelands in olden times and go to war? Who are these entities that are said to have bestowed Mankind with much wisdom, being able to influence the most subtle aspects of Reality?
We shall be unveiling their identity in this post. I will not be dealing with the topic of God, The Source, The All in All here, but instead have chosen to do that in another post. Reason being that the topic is one which requires special attention with an article dedicated to it alone, so as to treat it properly and satisfactorily. So, without further ado:
The Famous Pantheon of Twelve
During the reign of the Annunaki on our planet Ekken Ekeinne in olden times, their system of governance was based on the twelve members (gods) of their royal family referred to as The Council of An. Using just two to explain how they established themselves as our gods (along with advanced technology of course) Inanna was taught the Tantric Arts on their homeplanet Nibiru by the Queen Antu (her great-grandmother) This made her eligible to pose as the goddess of love and sexual desire, feigning the influences of planet Venus to originate from her, Enki was the Master Engineer and knew genetics to a good extent; he was the one who changed the course of rivers, created new waterways and poisoned the oceans with salt, to restrict access to and control the waters more effectively as ‘the god of the sea’.. This is the most famous class of deities found in almost every Human culture on this planet. They are most often the main group of gods the peoples look to as was the case and even more intense when they were physically present, but a lot of times as well, you’ll also see a host of minor gods and goddesses populating the pantheons. Examples are the Olympians from Hellenic belief, the pantheon of twelve from Sumer/Babylon and so forth.
Beings from the Inner Spheres of Reality
Even though a multitude of beings from the Inner planes have been deified, I will only cite three examples here, which are all Supra Prime Creators. These are the Creator gods/goddesses or both in some cases that perform the act of creating multiverses (what you refer to as Universes). Beings like Lord Ganesh, Lord Hanuman and Thor are all Supra Prime Creators. Although, Thor is at the moment not in charge of the original space in his sphere of influence. He is imprisoned and needs to rest for a while. Vek Vekusni (another Supra Prime Creator) is handling his space in his absence.
Lost Dreams…
Many, many, civilisations have come and gone on this planet. In our ancient (very ancient) civilisations, our great Magician-Scientists created models of the Human to study and understand what we are in totality. Over millennia and as we passed through the Dvapara Yuga into the Kali Yuga, Mankind gradually and continually lost her wisdom and forgot that it was herself she was studying through those models, forgot her divinity and began to revere and then worship the divinity of what the models represented.
Minority Groups
Deceased Humans have being deified from time to time in different cultures to represent a particular spiritual force. An example is in the Yoruba traditional religion where an ancient king of theirs called Sango was deified after his death and assumed the role of Jakuta the former thunder/lightning divinity.
A number of malevolent Reptilians who were cohorts with Annunaki and others in spreading deceit and slavery on this planet can be seen as deities in different world religions. An even smaller group should be benevolent Reptilians who became deified as a result of the childish innocence and confusion of Man. In Hindu, they are known as Nagas.
Also to be noticed are several other races that have come and gone over time. E.g Pleiadians, Drelis Humans (popular in the Hindu religion) and so on.
PS: Thoth is not Ningishzidda. Ningishzidda is the son of Enki and his daughter-in-law Ereshkigal and Thoth is an Ekken Human Ascended Master.
Syncretism
'The amalgamation or attempted amalgamation of different religions, cultures, or schools of thought'
This is a very good tool to use when identifying deities. How this is used is by identifying a group of deities around the world with the same atributes e.g Venus, Osun, Aphrodite, Hathor, Astarte, Ishtar...are all Inanna. Another way is by following their stories carefully and reading between the lines.
What is the true point of Deities then?
Well, to explain that, I would love to make reference to how the Igbo people of whom I’m descended from on my patrilineal line view deities. They call them Alusi (Spiritual Forces). I can recall a story someone (a Dibia; Igbo magician) told about his years in training. In the beginning, he was the one trying to reconnect with his people’s own culture and sacred sciences as he did not for the greater part of his life then have access to those, being born in a Christian home. When he was preparing his shrines, he asked the elders for images he should use for the various Alusi, and this was met with faces of amusement. He was perplexed because he didn’t think he had said anything funny.. Then they told him the reason why was that the Alusi are invisible forces who don’t have definite/fixed images one can use to represent them, and that anything that suites your fancy will do.
Now, after explaining that, you may be thinking that perhaps that is solely the case in all instances. Yes, everything in creation beyond all matter is Spirit. So that is very correct. But, it is worth understanding that some of them directly have form while others do not. What I mean by this is, in the case of Lord Hanuman for example, he is a Supra Prime Creator that very well has form as he interfaced directly with Human beings here in ancient times. Some represent abstract concepts, for example in Hellenistic belief, Nereus represents the bountifulness of the sea, Obinagu in Odinani (Igbo Sacred sciences) represents the sum total of all the beings and forces of Nature on Ekken as he is the Nature deity. While others represent natural phenomena, forces of nature/nature spirits; like the Japanese traditional religion Shinto, or universal laws.
As I speak in reference to this planet of which the information is in tune with creation, during the second Great Age on our planet (the Treta Yuga; Age of Ritual as it is known by the Tibetans), Humans began to bring powers from the formless into the world of form through ritual. The deities should simply be seen as focal points to draw wisdom and power from the formless into form. A man once shared his story of an excursion to the Great Pyramids of Egypt. He was in a small group of tourists like himself when the Tour Guide demonstrated how a stone inside the pyramid which they were rings like a bell. The sounds produced from the object striking that piece of stone reverberated around the enclave and before the man knew it, he was transported outside the pyramid and saw all the Egyptian deities in all their splendor and glory and was almost immediately transported back. One question he had, did anyone else see that?
