Slave Species of god

by Michael Tellinger

  It seems as if nothing had changed and the manipulative Anunnaki gods were still trying to hold onto what they had established on Earth. But their grip was slowly slipping as people became enlightened and more evolved and more educated. Humankind was suddenly looking into the greater spiritual realms, realising that the vengeful gods of the past who demanded to be worshipped, who claimed to have absolute power, may have been the ‘god’ of the primitive man, but not the true God of the universe. The only way in which the remaining gods could impose their authority on Humankind, was the only way they knew from their past activities – brutal force, violence, the promise of reward for those who followed orders and punishment to those who disobeyed.

  The inexplicable behaviour of ‘angels’ in the Bible, when they destroy cities, punish sinners, smite the unrighteous and more, seems to continue in the way that the ‘angel Gabriel’ attacked Mohammed and basically forced him into submission. Let's face it, the angels in those days were very scary characters, appearing to be physical and humanlike. Where have they all gone? They are almost always described as having some kind of fearsome weapon with which they could do any kind of damage or control any kind of unruly situation among the humans, like the one in Sodom. The Koran speaks of humans as ‘mortals’ as if there was another group of immortal humanoids on Earth. “When the sight of mortals is confounded and the moon eclipsed…”

  No matter how hard we try to turn a blind eye to the ongoing activities by the Sumerian gods, they creep into every crevice of our global religions. We simply cannot escape them. But the worst part of their interaction with humans and the control they have been exercising for so many thousand years, has totally corrupted our ability to distinguish between ‘god’ and ‘God’. In the past 2,000 years the remaining Anunnaki gods on Earth have had to resort to extremes in a final attempt to control humans with fear. They certainly did a great job, as one by one, the religions fell prey to the brutal victimisation of Humankind by the Sumerian gods. In the book of YA SIN in the Koran, we read a very similar description to what the Sumerian tablets tell us, about how the ‘Adamu’ was created by molecular splicing of the DNA and artificial insemination. The Koran says, “Is man not aware that We created him from a little germ?” But the story goes into greater detail in the book of The Believers when ‘god’ says almost verbatim what the Sumerian tablets tell us. “We first created man from an essence of clay; then placed him, a living germ, in a secure enclosure. The germ we made a clot of blood, and the clot a lump of flesh. This we fashioned into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh…” Those words are absolutely astounding, when compared to the biblical account of the birth of Adam, but even more inexplicable when compared to the Sumerian tablets, which were written some 3,000 years before Mohammed. But it is the last part of this Koranic phrase which sends a sense of utter disbelief through one's body. As the Sumerian tablets talk about the creation of another species or a new creature which they referred to as the ‘primitive worker’, so the Koran says: “… thus bringing forth another creation.”

  I trust that all Imams and preachers will argue the use of the term “We” as the way in which God would refer to himself. I find it a little strange that this term is not consistent and is rather prevalent in the part where the ‘creation of man’ is outlined. The Sumerian tablets clearly describe that the creation was performed by three Anunnaki gods, and therefore the collective “We” is used. If the angel Gabriel was a messenger for Marduk, the son of Enki who proclaimed himself as ‘god above all others’ he would have most certainly delivered the message in those terms to Mohammed. No matter how we look at the global religions, the ancient Sumerian gods are ever-present, doing the same kind of recognisable things, which become very familiar the more we read the ancient clay tablets and compare them to all the so-called ‘sacred’ books of the latter religions.

  Sikhism. Origin circa 1500 AD.

  Sikhism is the ninth largest religion in the world today with over 23 million followers. This relatively new faith was founded by Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the Punjab area, which today crosses from India to Pakistan. He was born in 1469, probably in the village of Talvandi, which is about 40 miles south-west of Lahore. At some stage during the year 1500 he began the life of a wandering ascetic, travelling all over India and possibly even beyond to distant places for many years. His travels are well documented in a collection of writings called the Janam-sakhis. The teachings of Guru Nanak can loosely be described as a blend of Hindu tradition and Muslim belief, but this kind of representation could easily be misinterpreted so we need to be careful not to simplify it in such a way. He was fortunate enough to be granted a piece of land on the banks of the river Ravi and there he established the village of Kartarpur. The Guru Nanak spent most of his life in this village until he died in 1539 AD, a date which most scholars seem to agree on.

  The Guru received a vision after which he began preaching the ‘way to enlightenment and God through inward meditation’. Sikhs believe in a single formless God which they refer to by many names, one of which is ‘nirankar’, “the Formless One”, who can be known through meditation which also includes tantric yoga. Sikhs pray many times each day and are prohibited from worshipping idols. Guru Nanak tackled the age-old question of ‘how can one know God’ which he answered this way: “One cannot know God, for God in his fullness is far beyond the understanding of mortal beings.” But he also described God as “sarab viapak” meaning ‘everywhere present’ and ‘visible to the eye of the spiritually awakened person’. This becomes a pivotal point in our unravelling of world religions, because the Guru claimed that such ‘spiritually awakened’ people could communicate with God, but only if they applied the specific principles rigorously. He taught that the chief obstacle that impeded salvation was the human condition. He further said that people are imprisoned by the endless cycles of life and death because of their attachment to worldly things. Such people are known as victims of ‘maya’. Guru Nanak explained that people must comprehend the divine order of the universe in both physical and spiritual terms, and they should strive to bring themselves into harmony with it. The Sikh discipline breaks away from the common practices of most religions like temple rites; mosque worshipping; pilgrimages and so on. “The only acceptable house of worship is the human heart.” If you apply the principles of ‘nam siram’ as taught by the Guru, you will experience ‘growing towards God’ and ‘growing into God.’ They believe in karma and samsara (reincarnation of the soul or being reborn as a new organism) as Hindus do, but Sikhs reject the caste system. They believe that everyone has equal status in the eyes of god.

  The Sikhs have two collections of sacred scriptures. The first one, called Adi Granth, seems to carry more weight and is the undisputed canonical work. While the second and later compilation, called the Dasam Granth, carries its own distinctive importance. After the death of Guru Nanak, a series of nine Gurus who are regarded as reincarnations of Guru Nanak, led the Sikh movement until 1708, each writing a contribution toward the sacred scriptures. The final text, the Shri Guru Granth Sahib, was compiled by the tenth Guru, Gobind Singh. It consists of the hymns and writings of the first ten Gurus, along with texts from different Muslim and Hindu saints. The holy text is considered the 11th and final Guru’s work. In 1931 Sikh scholars started to prepare the Reht Maryada which is the Sikh code of conduct and conventions which contains 27 articles:

  Article 1 defines who is a Sikh:

  “Any human being who faithfully believes in:

  One Immortal Being,

  Ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak Dev to Guru Gobind Singh,

  The Guru Granth Sahib,

  The utterances and teachings of the ten Gurus and the baptism bequeathed by the tenth Guru, and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion, is a Sikh.”

  The following extracts are taken from the translation of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa. The words once again display our confused obsession with a schizophrenic god, with many influence
s from the Koran and some other evident feeders from Hinduism. But in the end, where does this chanting and meditating get us? I get a distinct feeling that it is a continuation of the fear of the ‘god of vengeance’ as he was known in biblical times and before. The same god who made the Egyptians so fearful and obedient. Although this religion is well-wrapped up in non-violence, their god certainly reserves the right to dish out punishment whenever he deems fit. The verses seem to be wrapped in a coat of self preservation in the face of possible punishment, so let's chant the phrases just in case we need to appear to be pious:

  “The Lord Master, the Lord of the Universe, is infinite and unapproachable; God is the all-pervading Lord of all. The angels, the Siddhas, the beings of spiritual perfection, the heavenly heralds and celestial singers meditate on You. The Yakhsha demons, the guards of the divine treasures, and the Kinnars, the dancers of the god of wealth chant Your Glorious Praises. Millions of Indras and countless gods and super-human beings meditate on the Lord Master and celebrate His Praises. The Merciful Lord is the Master of the masterless, O Nanak; joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, one is saved.”

  “Millions of gods and goddesses of wealth serve Him in so many ways. The invisible and visible beings worship Him in adoration… All the sources of creation, and all languages meditate on Him, forever and ever… He is the Purifier of sinners, the Lover of His Saints; As much as God has revealed to us, that much we can speak with our tongues…We are all beggars, He is the One and only Giver; He is not far away, but is with us, ever-present. Chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord of the Universe; don't be lazy… you shall not have to go to the City of Death. Pain, trouble and fear will not afflict you; meditating on the Naam, a lasting peace is found. With each and every breath, worship the Lord in adoration; meditate on the Lord God in your mind and with your mouth. O kind and compassionate Lord, O treasure of sublime essence, treasure of excellence, please link me to Your service…The Purifier of sinners is the Naam, the Pure Name of the Immaculate Lord. The darkness of doubt is removed by the healing ointment of the Guru's spiritual wisdom. By the healing ointment of the Guru's spiritual wisdom, one meets the Immaculate Lord God, who is totally pervading the water, the land and the sky. If He dwells within the heart, for even an instant, sorrows are forgotten. The wisdom of the all-powerful Lord and Master is incomprehensible; He is the Destroyer of the fears of all… The Lord Master saves even the sinners. So many are saved; they cross over the terrifying world-ocean, contemplating the Naam, the Name of the Lord. In the beginning and in the end, countless are those who seek the Lord… and grasp the protection of the Lord of the Universe, the merciful… The Lord is the Lover of His devotees; this is His natural way. Wherever the Saints worship the Lord in adoration, there He is revealed. God blends Himself with His devotees in His natural way, and resolves their affairs.”

  Bahá'í . Origin circa 1863 AD.

  The Baha'i Faith arose from Islam in the 1800s based on the teachings of Baha'u'llah and has become a distinct worldwide faith with over six million followers. It did not take too much reading of the Baha'i scriptures to realise that the oppressive human obsession to please its violent and vengeful god is as evident here as it is in most other religions of the world. Here is a short example of what I mean. Please see the underlying subservient fear which highlights the ‘master-slave’ relationship established by the Anunnaki gods of ancient times. This is an extract from the Epistle of the Son of the Wolf clearly highlighting the sinfulness of Humankind, very quickly reminding them that if they ‘fear and obey’ they will be spared some horrific retribution:

  “Alas, alas, for my waywardness, and my shame, and my sinfulness, and my wrong-doing that have withheld me from the depths of the ocean of Thy unity and from fathoming the sea of Thy mercy. Wherefore, alas, alas! and again alas, alas! for my wretchedness and the grievousness of my transgressions! Thou didst call me into being, O my God, to exalt Thy Word, and to manifest Thy Cause.”

  Baha'i followers believe that God has sent nine great prophets to mankind through whom the Holy Spirit has revealed the ‘Word of God’. They gave rise to all the major world religions. But the differences in the teachings of each prophet are due to the needs of the society at the time, and they were adapted to the level of revelation mankind was ready to digest at the time. This is fascinating, especially if you look at the apparent reversal of ‘digestible’ revelations which followed Christianity. It seems to have gone downhill from there, through the conflicts between the Muslims and Christians, to the destruction of the knowledge in the Dark Ages. Baha'i followers promote gender and race equality, freedom of expression and assembly, world peace and a world government. They believe that a single world government led by Baha'i's will be established at some point in the future. The faith does not attempt to preserve the past but does embrace the findings of science. Baha'i's believe that every person has an immortal soul which cannot die, but is freed to travel through the spirit world after death. This philosophy seems to clash with the fearful relationship with god which some of their writings portray. I must add that this religion looks very interesting as it seems to push the boundaries of progressive thought, including new-found knowledge in science and astronomy, and yet at the same time there are weird undertones which desperately hold onto some of the old dogmas from other religions. The Baha'i seem to pride themselves as being the new progressive faith for all, ready to take humanity into the new era. The following extract from the introduction to their most sacred book, Kitab-i-Aqdas, creates a conflict between old and new philosophies mainly because it desperately wants to move away from the ‘old’ and embrace the ‘new age’. Yet it advocates that its entire doctrine is squarely based on the foundations of the ‘old dogmatic’ religions. How does one reconcile the two? I cannot help but wonder if the legacy of the manipulative, conniving Anunnaki is not really behind this very cleverly disguised and attractive religious movement. This is a slice from the Sacred Texts website :

  “Of the more than one hundred volumes comprising the sacred Writings of Baha'u'llah, the Kitab-i-Aqdas is of unique importance. ‘To build anew the whole world’ is the claim and challenge of His Message, and the Kitab-i-Aqdas is the Charter of the future world civilisation that Baha'u'llah has come to raise up. Its provisions rest squarely on the foundation established by past religions, for, in the words of Baha'u'llah, ‘This is the changeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future.’ In this Revelation the concepts of the past are brought to a new level of understanding, and the social laws, changed to suit the age now dawning, are designed to carry humanity forward into a world civilisation the splendours of which can as yet be scarcely imagined. In its affirmation of the validity of the great religions of the past, the Kitab-i-Aqdas reiterates those eternal truths enunciated by all the Divine Messengers: the unity of God, love of one's neighbour, and the moral purpose of Earthly life. At the same time it removes those elements of past religious codes that now constitute obstacles to the emerging unification of the world and the reconstruction of human society.”

  This chapter on religion was extremely difficult to compile and it took a great deal of energy not to produce a glossary of religions that reduces them to a few pages of pulp fiction. But in the end, I have to be brutally honest and say that I believe they do not deserve to be much more than pulp fiction. The amount of history and culture surrounding each and everyone of the religions is astounding. After all, they are the cornerstones of their own communities. Is that not ironic? The active ingredient for conflict and war is the cornerstone of every society! Pretty messed up is it not? As hard as I tried to extract the necessary essence to stimulate the reader's mind and show a clear thread of confusion that binds them all together, there is much more that could be said and explored. But it is very apparent that they all share a few common underlying symptoms. The relentless search for something, which is reminiscent of the ancient mariners who went in search of the edge of the world; the constant referral to f
antastical beings with amazing powers; each one believing that they have the answer; not one of them looking at our past with clarity of mind to see where we may be heading. Those religions that do engage the human past, only do so with ulterior motives, which are mostly to disprove the others while entrenching themselves as ‘the only one’. The result of all this manic activity has dumped me squarely in a giant void of uncertainty greater than when I started investigating our fabulous religions. We are constantly faced by a god who is brutal and selfish, imposes all kinds of hardships on humans; changes his name and then does the same thing elsewhere. Or he enslaves humans on this planet in never-ending cycles of karmic madness, in the weird hope that the ignorant humans will learn from their mistakes. How could they possibly learn from their mistakes if they keep returning to the same place, more stupid than before?
