introduction
The myth of creation is a Gnostic tale, developed as an
allegory expressing the step by step process of the
evolution of the Neophyte, it will be found that the events
of the myth parallel the neophytes journey through acolyte
to adept while at the same time describing the development
of the person up till the time of being taught.
This is the first time that the oral tradition attached to
the myth had ever been fully put down in written form.
THE ORAL TRADITION IN FULL
The expression of the myth carries a step by step
description of the component elements of our make up as well
as an interpretation of the psycho-emotive responses that we
have when we are found by the Order of Datu.
like wise the myth expresses the development of an
individual through the stages or life until the moment of
initiation
THE BEGINNING
When the neophyte first approaches the knowledge, they are
like an empty vessel, they are unaware of their potential or
any of the teachings (at first there was nothing, not even
the absu). As soon as they gain awareness of their potential
they go into motion and begin accruing knowledge (with
nothing to impede the potential the potential moved).
The First Motion is representative of the moment of
awakening of self, the realization that there can be more to
existence than just existence, but it is also indicative of
the behavior pattern that we accrue during childhood. As we
absorb the teachings of our elders we develop potential for
self development and personal expression.
at line 10 (the sign of enki) we meet the concept of the
hungry awareness, the mind that seeks to grow and know it's
self. The student is taught that the odds of existing as an
awake aware and sentient being in this time and place are
terribly low. The odds are so close to zero (given the size
of the universe) that all we may do is call them 'not zero'.
These are the same odds that scientists attribute to the
needed vacuum fluctuations needed for the birth of the
universe !
This means that you are as rare as the universe itself. It
means that there is only one of you. you are unique and
special. I am not 'a' William, I am 'the' william. Only I
may see the universe through my eyes and experience my
existence. Others may get close but they can never enter
unless deeply trained to do so..
Only I can make a real difference in my life, only I can
write the 'book of William' so to speak.
One must see that if you are that unique and rare, then so
is everyone else! All of them are due love, honor, respect
and compassion. We are all one race yet uniquely alone.
What does it mean that there are so many 'singularities' all
massed in one spot, one planet? Is it proof that we are
truly unique and here for a purpose? Does it mean that none
of us are truly special?The Datu believe that EVERYTHING is
that unique and special, for if all of us are as rare as the
universe, then since all things are part of such a rare
universe, they are all special and rare.
The patterns that developed in the potential are
representative of our guidance and upbringing. Being
ignorant at first, we are dependent on parents to learn the
difference between right and wrong. We are dependent on our
parents for every pattern of behavior and eventually those
pattern 'go off' automatically when presented with the
proper stimulus.
I AM
the recognition and self awareness of I AM is representative
of the point in child hood that we recognized our own
existence as an individual.
In our initial stages of life we have little or no sense of
separateness from our parents and we exist in a state that
is devoid of any level of separation internally.
the first truly important moment as a child comes when we
are suddenly made aware of our selves and gain a sense of I.
It is at the moment of this sense of I that we begin the
cognitive process of realizing our separateness from the
parental units and the middle self begins to develop.
In Addition this is representative of the realization by the
Neophyte that they must be in a constant state of
realization that they are unique and alone as explained
above.
I AM NOT
The birth and manifestation of I AM NOT represents the point
when we not only recognized our own sense of personality,
and the distinct sense of separation from our parents and
siblings, it also is a recognition of the birth of mind
(middle self) and the birth of the world we suddenly
recognize as physical,inescapable, and interactive ( but we
also become the center of an independent universe at this
point).
When we interact with others, we are manipulating our own
sense of independent perception, morality, wants , needs,
and experience, from a central point that is our own unique
perspective.
we realize at some basic level that we are the gods of our
own universes and that very few individuals can truly read,
interpret and understand our view of our universe.
At this point the Neophyte realizes the manner in which they
have invested their energy into the pattern that we were
spoon fed (what they are not, rather than what they are).
The neophyte often thinks that the Datu have mysterious
powers of perception. In some respects this is indeed true,
but most often it is just that the 'stimulus response' is a
common pattern seen in most people.
THE SEPARATION OF I AM AND I AM NOT
At a certain point in our development as individuals, we
realized that we were truly alone and that it is
insufficient to be alone. We feel that we were cut off from
a true level of integration with our beginnings because we
are the center of our own universes.
The result of the fact that we were guided by others around
us in terms of what was correct and socially acceptable was
that when these concepts of right and wrong were empowered
with in us we divided into the Other (the bad child) and the
child of light, as has been indicated above (in THE WRIT OF
THREE) the separation of child and Other was the result of
the environmental impact of what was considered acceptable
and unacceptable in society around us . Many of the bad
behaviors were the ones designed to aid survival and fulfill
wants and needs and therefore could not simply be cast
aside, therefore they took up residence with in the
subconscious as our 'dark side'.
THE REUNION OF AB AND BA and the creation of the universe
When the Neophyte comes to a level of communication with the
lower self and is able to integrate the Other, the reunion
generates new and free patterns in the universe around us.
when the middle self recognized its sense of self and its
separateness from the parents , it fell naturally into a bi
polar being that is creation/destruction, up/down,
life/death, fear/attraction, and so on. This dual nature is
a natural and simple method by which to learn and we use it
our whole lives.
This state of polar opposites bring about the cyclic
creation of our sense of the universe via the following
process, the wind (zephyr) represents the dawning of the the
recognition of our separation and the need for integration.
The flames of fire were a direct result of our recognition
of our independent existence, this fire is the pure active
exertions of our will and individuality and it is the first
stages of manifestation of the world into a form we can
interpret.
The fire being independent action , brought about reactive
responses from the world around us, and the interaction of
action and reaction (fire and water) brought about the
reconciliation of the opposite pole relationships that we
began to use because we are living beings.
The result is the acquisition of knowledge, and the
acquisition of knowledge along with comparisons to previous
states of action and reaction, brought about a stable base
from which to function.
Fire is action, water is reaction, wind is thought and
reconciliation of opposites, and earth is the physical body
and the stability that is developed through the acquisition
of knowledge
AZAG
The word Azag means 'boundray or taboo'. Azag represents not
only the Other but also the boundaries that seem to limit
our creativity and freedom of expression. (see the writ of
two).
If one were to go outside and run until you could run no
further, you would come face to face with the Azag (boundary
limit). Yet if one were to do this every day, the Azag would
be pushed back further and further. Nearly all Azag are like
this, only steady practice and work will help us push them
back.
In addition, Azag is the 'perversity' of the universe that
breaks down ordered systems and causes 'murphy's law' (that
if something can go wrong it will). Azag is the sense of the
chaos of change that we face once we have recognized our
separation and have begun the attempt at reintegrated our
selves. Azag is the 'preferred flow of the universe'
A side affect of attempted integration is that we realize
that the Universe has a 'preferred direction. Indeed every
scientific law is just a recognition of the preferred
direction of universal flow. Time runs forward, rocks fall
down, people die etc.
Often at this point the Acolyte begins to manifest
'coincidental magick'. this is when the will is being
applied more directly to the preferred direction of things
by 'accident' than it previously was able to do on purpose.
The reunion of lowerself and other instigates a stronger
will and a clearer communication with the higherself. this
in turn causes changes in the environment that are
manifested by coincidence.
It will be noted that Azag was a changer of things and that
when requested to change himself, he gave the same reply
that most neophytes give! "I cant change myself." In another
light, the taking of a name by Azag was an act of rebellion
against AbBa, a need to assert individuality and self. It is
no different from when Junior gets a mohawk and a nose ring.
How was it an act of rebellion? Well at this point there
were only three beings, Ab, Ba, and Azag. None of them had
names because none were needed. if Ab and ba spoke of one
that was not either of them, then it had to be Azag. By
making a name for himself, Azag sought to escape the
(parental) influences of ABBA. When he 'Departed from the
mind of ABBA/Anu) it was the same as us walking away from
our parents and background. How many of us were like Azag?
saying "I cant change, leave me alone!". How many of us
walked away from order and instead sowed chaos in every
direction? How many of us have consumed the light of love
given to us by our parents and then spit the darkness of
hate and rebellion back in their faces? I did. did you?
THE BIRTH OF BABILANI.
When the student begins the journey and the integration of
self, they see the things that they have done to others and
realize that there must be something they can do to balance
the chaos and change in their universe.
It is hard to accept that we are so damaged and conditioned
by where we have been and what we have done,that if we try
to create a means of making it better, that it will be
damaged or twisted by the very maladies that we are seeking
to overcome.
In the myth, abba/anu leaves the child unfinished and gives
it only one thing 'Napish'
Napish not only means 'life' but it also means 'creativity',
this is another name for the last of the sixteen figures
(Sila, life or path).The 'child in the void' is the path we
walk in order to grow. It is the 'golden child' the desire
to be whole and balanced.
Frankly the student often has a conscious or subconscious
desire to take the path and the teaching and twist them to
their own designs.The notion of becoming empowered is filled
with pride and the desire for power, to become more than
mortal/human. thus the path / shape is expressed as the gate
of the gods, 'Bab-Illani)
First Azag says 'take what form you will' and she changes
over and unceasingly. When we begin the process of seeking
our Sila(shape / path) we are stuck trying to find an
approach that will be low impact. The neophyte wishes to
please their teachers and find a path that is compatible
with the life that they now are living. They dont want to
rock the boat, and they quickly find frustration because of
it.
If one seeks change, one cannot remain the same, thus trying
to change while still maintaining past patterns leads to
great frustration. The student is generaly unable to express
what their difficulty is, and finaly they become angry and
confused about why they cant find an answer that works and
keeps everyone happy. It is often at this point that they
walk away.
When they approach the teacher with this dilemna, the
teacher gives them a Vocabulary of terms and concepts and
thus the ability to express their difficulty. This Mummu
(voice) allows the student to explain that they want to
please parents and teachers, friends and lovers.
Then it is put forward to them that their growth and balance
must be based upon their own needs and want, not on the
needs and wants of other powers. (usually the desire to
escape past influences is very strong and the student
chooses to try to leave behind any of the old undesired
influences).
Given the freedom to choose at will, the student invariably
will seek a shape utterly devoid of the parental influences
and the Other/Azag. Knowing that they are seeking
integration of the self and true growth, they finally seek
to step on the path with absolute freedom.
This absolute freedom does not imply the right to do
anything they want to anyone, rather it implies casting off
the shackles of 'Other Powers' (powers, patterns or persons
that they have slavishly obeyed all their lives even when
that pattern or power is detrimental to them).
THE RAPE OF BABILANI AND THE FALL TO THE FIRMAMENT
It is unnatural for the child and the other to be separate
entities, the result of this is the attempted reunion by the
other with the child. this attempted reintegration is beyond
the capacity of the child and so the child (our sense of
right and wrong) flees from the other (our sense of want and
need).
the result is that they fall together to the waking world in
a state of conflict and the child rises to defend its
fragile ego. We lash out against the pain we have incurred
with the pain we have incurred.
THE BIRTH OF THE HORDE AND THE CHOICE OF BABILANI
When the Azag/Others abortive attempts at reunion fail, the
result is the engendering of Atavisms, and negative
behaviors that have direct results on the world around us.
In addition to the various selves the Datu refer to the
WIDER SELF. The Wider self is the impact that we have and
have had on the world around us, these negative
manifestation of self cause the child to attempt (because of
the fears that the other generates) to take a level of
responsibility for the misdeeds of the other.
THE ATTEMPTS OF BABILANI TO MAKE HELP MATES TO SUBDUE THE
HORDE AND HER FAILURE
When we see the repercussions of the actions and influences
of the other, we realize that we need a means by which to
control the other, we attempt every thing from religion and
moral structures to escapism and play, in the end we find
two very important stand points that help us realize that
the attempts to exclude the power of the lowerself from the
equation of balance simply does not work
THE SEVEN WISE ANIMALS
In the myth we find that seven of the many creatures that
Babilani forms are of distinct use.(The lion, the serpent,
the owl, the rabbit, the wolf, the eagle, and the crow, and
with them were Ninhursag and Ea.)
The lion represents courage, and is attributed to Venus,
mars and the sun, it represents loving courageously and
facing hate, but also the wrathful power of hate. he speaks
saying"to be alone is not enough" (individuality suffers
when divorced from personality , joy suffers when one
hungers.)
the serpent is the sense of cunning that we develop in order
to circumvent the cunning of others and to smooth over the
outbursts of the other. the serpent of mercury was a
excellent lover and a master of secrets, and this reflects
the near carnal pleasure that one experiences when they
manage to exercise manipulative influence over others and
their minds. As such he councils babilani to fool and
manipulate Azag.
The owls of Ereshkigal and Ishtar moved in the darkness and
saw all. In some circumstances the hoot of an owl was an ill
omen (from the left or behind)for it meant that the eye of
the underworld was upon you. Other times it well omened
(from the right or from ahead) and meant be watchful for a
opportunity that you nearly missed. The owl councils a gift
(an offering avert death, a present to pay for the essence
of Azag
The Rabbit was a lunar sign and represented hunger, on the
other hand the rapid reproduction of rabbits (by the
procession of Fibonachi numbers) represent good fortune and
excess. The rabbit councils babilani to make pain into
pleasure. thus to transcend pain and give Azag the gift of
the pleasure.
The wolf of mars represents the feral hunger that we need to
sometimes fulfill in order to survive physical or emotional
conflict.
We, in our interaction with the world find ourselves needing
to possess at least these two powers of snake (mind and
intuition) and wolf (physical and emotional) to survive, and
while they can reflect the power of the other, it through
the full awareness of these two pole that we realize that to
deal with the other, we must use the other. The wolf
councils babilani to drive Azag away once he is spent.
The eagle is of jupiters dominion and was representative of
power, dominion and wealth as well as the power of the king.
The eagle like all material power councils babilani to be
frugal and to make the most of the potential.
The crow represented Death and the making of fortune from
the left overs of others. The crow councils patience. (death
is terribly patient, it waits for our entire life to pass
before it comes for us)
Enki and ninhursag warn babilani that Azag will try to pull
something to his advantage. thus we are warned that
boundarys exist is subtle ways, that we may not immediately
see.
The order of the animals in the text are in the order of the
planets: sun, mercury, venus, moon, mars, jupiter, saturn.
THE SEDUCTION OF AZAG AND THE UNION OF THE ESSENCES
somewhere between the ages of nine and thirteen, the average
individual realizes that evil has its uses. We come to the
subliminal recognition that in order to avoid becoming a
victim, that we must learn how to at least cope with our
sense of want and need in order to live, thrive and survive.
In the myth the seduction of Azag represents that time when
we begin to actively play with our sense of evil and we take
its seven parts to use for our benefit.
these seven parts are:
Egotism, lust, brutality, deception, greed, obsession, and
destruction.
when we actively recognize these components of a self
serving existence, they root immediately.
In the myth when Azag says that it grieves him that he is
alone in space and wishes a helpmate, it is an allegory of
the others wish to stand up and be counted.
LAMASHTU
when we open our selves to a sense of evil in order to
control our evil, we invariably create a dark side or evil
nature. to the Datu, Lamashtu represents the balancing and
fulfilling state of hunger that we develop.
all of us remember when we turned thirteen and the world
came unglued at the seams. many of us turned into complete
monstrosities that even our parents and sibling could not
cope with.
THE CUNNING OF AZAG, THE GIVING OF THE GIFT, AND THE SLEEP
OF BABILANI
In the legend, the union of Azag and Babilani represents the
attempt of the child of light to integrate with the child of
darkness. and that failure to do so...
When we made that attempt, the sence of evil had no wish to
return to its lair once the activities were done, the dark
side (Lamashtu) had been made and the destructive chaos
nature wished to feed on the nurturing chaos nature.
therefore when all was done, the dark chaos (Azag) made an
attempt to pull control away from the nurturing chaos
(Babilani), to get that extra bit of life and to come away
stronger.
the response of our sense of right was to at first try to
reason with Azag, and when that did not work, to suppress
the sense of evil (banish Lamashtu) and to form a definitive
line of division (the weapon of Babilani), and use this line
of division to destroy our dark child
But when we had smitten the other and attempted to cast it
out, it instead was taken by the sense of evil and nurtured
in secret.
Having no solid realization that this force still lurked
about, we lay down to rest in an attempt to formulate a life
of good.
THE MADNESS OF AZAG, THE RAPE OF LAMASHTU, AND THE FINDING
OF MAN.
when the other was driven out and placed in its secret lair,
it used our sense of evil in order to try to gain its
freedom.
A saying we have is if something is incomplete, complete it
or destroy lest it come back to you in a different form and
destroy you.
when we tried initially to find a way to make help mates to
subdue the dark chaos and over come our inherent entropy, we
found them insufficient and released them without closure.
these control dramas (our coping means) evolved on their own
and threaded themselves through out us.
when the other was lost track of, our sense of evil found
these control dramas and twisted them subtly for its own
use. this was because these controls dramas brought before
the other simply made the other more angry when it saw that
they were of no use to it. The images of beast/man, and
beast/woman are the control dramas and public face that we
put on in an attempt to function in the world around us.
They as images had little use for the other and the other
had little use for them thus it repulsed them and the sense
of evil back to the daily realm, and made no use of them,
even though they were literally descended from the same
roots.
The result of this was the banishing of the sense of evil
into the world around us.
The sleep of Babilani allowed the incarnation and
empowerment of these control dramas while we attempted to
engender a sense of principle that would fulfill both the
social requirements around us and the personal requirements
within us
the education of man by Lamashtu, is the influence of the
selfish sense of I being developed by the self centered
sense of evil
This is a result of the acceptance of egotism as the first
of the seven ME of entropy.
When the myth speaks of Lamashtu gathering her fathers
progeny around her, it is an allegory for all the behavioral
trait that were picked up by the child of light from their
parents. the most common control dramas are as follows;
egotism, manipulation, conquest, rationalization / paranoia,
pseudo superiority / aloofness, obsession, servitude /
addiction.
The initiate will examine themselves thoroughly in an
attempt to acertain which of the control dramas they utilize
in order to locate the polar balance that will allow some
level of escape from them the polar balances of these
control dramas are;
egotism -- individuality
manipulation-personality
conquest - power
rationalization/paranoia - analysis / compassion
pseudosuperiority / aloofness - honor (righteousness) /
communication
obsession - choice
servitude / addiction - responsibility / unmaking
THE WAKING OF BABILANI AND THE BIRTH OF HER CHILDREN
When Babilani awoke she birthed her seven children.
It will be seen that each of them correspond to one of the
balancing poles listed in the section above.
ADDI / THE SUN (individuality)
The first child is the sun and it is the power of joy, there
to combat the sense of darkness and the ego that takes its
self too seriously. The control drama of egoism, is the need
to assert a strong sense of self onto the back drop of the
environment in order to have the environment reflect the
nature of the individual, the natural polar opposite to this
is individuality, to not let the environment paint its
individuality on you. The secret of installing the
individuality as a control over egoism is to remember that
as a child of the sun you look good in anything.
Children of the sun tend to be warm, funny,`and creative.
They often are involved in the egocentric arts like song or
dance and are hungry for recognition of their inner or outer
beauty.
one of the unique qualities of laughter is that it has no
true opposite, we can literally laugh in an given state of
thought, emotion, or action.
The sun is a wind sign
The power that engenders joy/laughter is realization.
When we encounter two disparate points and suddenly realize
an odd connection between them, we laugh due to the sudden
sense of a-ha! or realization.
the power that maintains laughter is joy
the power that causes entropy in laughter is
deconceptualization
Addis color is yellow / gold and his dominion is the
dominion of individuality his number is 20
NAPHISH / THE MOON (personality)
In our oldest traditions, the moon was male and called Sin
or Zuen. As time passed and our people wandered we
encountered more and more female manifestation of the moon,
and to better work with the archetypical energies around us,
we adopted the hermaphrodite of Naphish to be able to blend
better with the belief pool around us. Naphish is the
balancing point of manipulation as a control drama, this is
because if one cultivates the correct type of personality,
they will find it unnecessary to manipulate others indeed a
strong but pleasant personality is good for what ails you,
but the other gifts of the moon (intuition and change) are
the real tools of the moon.
Children of the moon are intuitive, cyclic in personality
and very concerned with want both their own and others. they
use the wants of others kind of like a currency in which to
barter for their own wants..
We still view the traditional aspects of the male moon as
the male portion of Naphish.
We view the moon as sex/appetite/wants.
We view its opposite pole as Shanhuth
(death/resolution/dissolution)
Naphish came forth Wantonly, she was hungry and covetous of
her brothers light, when she consumed part of his light she
also consumed part of his essence this is a demonstration of
the close connection between ones sense of individuality and
their sense of personality.
The moon is a fire sign
Just as the moon cannot shine with out the suns light, the
personality cannot exist independently of the ego
the rise or engenderment of sex is lust
the maintainer of sex is ecstasy
the desolver of sex is frustration
the color of the Naphish is purple / silver and her dominion
is yearning her number is 30
CHEMOSH / MARS (power)
When Chemosh was born he beat the stones with his fists till
the stones wept tear of water.
This is representational of mans sense of aggression, and
mars is of course the symbol of all that is male, conquest,
the control drama of this archetype is usually a malady
basses on displays of might as opposed to displays of power
, they are displays that are antithetical to the resolution
of the situation back to peace.
Do not loose the winds unless you can abide by their
blowing, rule not by fear but rather be the hero, the one
the weak may take shelter with.
. the child of chemosh must learn that to act is to have
committed an irrevocable act.
Irrevocable acts must never be released without control. a
display of power is not always necessary and often does more
harm than good. act only when necessary and always winnow
your enemies from your adversaries
An adversary is one who is playing the same game as you and
is playing to win. An enemy will stop at nothing to destroy
you and as such should never be given any quarter.
True enemies are very, very, rare!.
Chemosh represents our power to defeat others and to
overcome obstacles and it is a sign of fire
As a basic archetype, Chemosh is Hate and its opposite pole
is Pileha, love
The rise of hate is aggression
the maintenance of hate is rage
the fall of late is loathing
The color of Chemosh is red, and his dominion is power his
number is 8
NAHASH / MERCURY (skill)
When Nahash was born he healed the hands of his brother.
though this was due to compassion, it was also based on
fear, the fear of the unknown.
Rationalization and fear are the control dramas of Nahash.
As has been previously stated, rationalization is self
deception, it is designed to allow us to use the middleself
left brain in order to fool the middle self left brain. we
use this talent for rationalization to convince ourselves
that we can do the ill planned or the socially unacceptable,
or to side step our responsibilities. The polar cure for
rationalization is analysis, the skill of breaking an idea
down in smaller and smaller perspectives till it is fully
understood
paranoia is the over working of our common fight or flight
syndrome. Fear like pain is an alarm system that is there to
protect and warn us of impending danger. Usually a
compassionate understanding of the object/concept that is
causing the paranoia will solve it.
When this alarm over rides the rational senses panic sets in
and we act from a purely primal base, and we become
irrational.
the children of Nahash are thinker and collectors of unless
skill. unless that is until they are needed, then the skills
are very handy, they are magicians, writers, inventors, con
men, wanderers, and advisors. To the child of Nahash it is
better to be the right hand of the king than to be the king
Nahash is an air sign
the polar opposite to fear is Nechar (attraction)
The rise of fear is ignorance
the maintenance of fear is simple mindedness
the defeater of fear is knowledge
the color of Nahash is orange and his dominion is skill his
number is 12
NECHAR / JUPITER (dominion)
If you were to ask the average occultist why they were
studying the arts, they would tell you it was to gain power.
we know from our studies so far that power is the archetype
of Chemosh, thus by extension these occultists would be
trying to become warriors.
What it is that the occultist is actually chasing is
DOMINION, dominion is the ability to use power to rule ones
environment. to have the power of the right hand (control)
over the world around you and to exercise the power of the
left hand (change) with a level of mercy and justice.
The control dramas of Nechar (pseudo superiority and
aloofness) are segregarian in philosophy, it is the king
refusing to walk among his people, it is to with draw from
contact and sit somewhat unhappily on your throne of power,
and to be a tyrant over those who are weaker in some
aspect..
The child of Nechar must have both the virtue of the warrior
(honor) and the virtue of the king (righteousness) like wise
the child of Nechar must rule with mercy and truly
communicate.
If all these things are present, then the king will have
subject that flock to him/her without end.
the dominion of Nechar is attraction, this is the polar
opposite to Nahash(fear), when the eagle and the serpent
meet, they make the dragon, the sign of the king.
Nechar is a earth sign
The rise of attraction is desire
the maintainer of attraction is dominion
the fall of attraction repulsion
The color of Nechar is blue and his dominion is dominion his
number is 10
PILEHA / VENUS (love)
When the sixth child came forth, she felt all the pain and
loneliness she made a balm against it.
Those who use the control drama of obsession are using the
negative aspect of Pileha it is necessary to understand that
when one becomes obsessed with another or with a thing, that
they become enslaved to threat thing, it is necessary to
have choice in all things in order to have a state of
absolute freedom.
The children of pileha understand the difference between
wants and needs.
They are also very good at seeing the needs of others and
trying to fulfill those needs in order to gain energy and
gain fealty. they have a true soft spot for the needs of
others, but cant help but feed.
Children of pileha are also warriors, this is because they
worship the sword of love and the sword of love is a mighty
destroyer of hearts.
the rise of love is admiration
the balance of love is respect / rapture
the fall of love is disillusionment
The color of Pileha is green and her dominion is
Love/worship/war her number is 15
SHANHUTH / SATURN (death)
Shanhuth is the power of chaos to unweave the threads of
reality, he is the king of the dead with Ereskigal his wife,
he is the lord of responsibilities.
the control dramas of servitude and addiction are harsh to
those who follow them, when one is in a state of servitude,
it is because they are unable to handle their own
responsibilities, and so responsibility is the antidote to
the malaise of servitude. it is not uncommon for a state of
fealty (respect and service based on respect) turn into a
state of servitude.
The only manner in which one can handle an addiction is to
umake the threads that hold that addiction together.
Whether the addiction is a result of self esteem or
environment it must be dealt with in order to be free.
The children of Shanhuth have a skill for picking up the
thread that holds a situation together. they are able to
tell one the answer to the resolving and ending of a
situation.
often if they are offended, they will reach out their subtle
power and affect the health or well-being of the one who has
offended them, unfortunately they dont realize that they are
doing it.
It is very important that the child of Shanhuth concentrate
his power on dissolving the illusions that may be thrown
against him/her. All must enter the land of the dead
unclothed, it is the covenant.
The rise of death is closure
the balance of death is entropy
the downfall of death is gnosis
the color of Shanhuth is black/indigo the dominion of
Shanhuth is Death his number is 4
THE MEETING OF MEN AND GODS, THE WRATH OF LAMASHTU, THE
FLIGHT OF THE GODS TO SAFETY
There came a time (about age 15 or 16) when your control
dramas evolved into one or more of the seven archetypes
listed above, some of them were negative manifestations and
some were positive, but all of them were truly you at a gut
level, when you developed the infant level archetypes you
went out into the world on your own, there were those who
fell and worshipped you but they also harmed you in the
process. The vampires and leeches attached themselves to
you, and you were abused.
There is a big difference between use and abuse we use a
hammer to drive a nail, we do not use a hammer to drive a
point, if a hammer is heated to red hot and beaten against a
stone, it is a hammer that is being abused.
people allow others to use them for their gifts because it
helps their self esteem. but when use turns to abuse it is
very like being assaulted by fire and sword.
The myth tells use that the children went forth and were
driven out by Lamashtu and those that originally worshipped
them.
to us this represents when we go forth as independent beings
and our sense of self is met by others with fear or anger,
just like the children of Babilani we were met with the cry
they are abominations!, but we found that these archetypes
were deep seated and would not simply go away.
if they are undesirable to others you are driven out.
if this seems unclear, it must be understood that it is at
this point in the myth that the neophyte goes through cyclic
bouts of acceptance and social faux paux till they have
trained themselves to present the illusion of what is
necessary in order to survive.
At the same time we begin to seek out other abominations so
that we will not be alone.
It is at this point that most of us are recognized by our
datus, the Datu sees the shine the person puts forth, and
the Datu is impressed at how strong the seven archetypes
are.
Each person has a prime archetype , a secondary archetype,
and a tertiary archetype, the other four of the seven will
all exist at least at a basic level. Example: if one had a
primary of Nahash you would be a collector of knowledge, if
your secondary was Naphish you would use the knowledge from
your primary to fulfill your wants, if Shanhuth was your
tertiary you'd find yourself drawn to gothic hungers.
THE CHILDREN ARE GIVEN THEIR ME AND BLESSED.
Each time that we were repulsed by the people around us we
grew more firmly entrenched in our control dramas, and felt
more and more alien
When at last we were found by a Datu, the Datu let us know
that we were not abominations but instead we were special,
we carried the avatars of the gods within us. we found that
we were not alone.
the Datu provided us with the Darda and we were taught and
empowered in the same way as Babilanis children.
People who are not training, often wonder what distinguishes
the lost children. It is not just enough that we were
outcasts or wanderers. rather it is the inherent
understanding of the law of wisdom and the nine truths that
are given in Babilanis blessing.
THE LAW OF WISDOM.
The law of wisdom is:
life is pain, but pain brings patience and patience brings
wisdom. the wolf is very wise.
The lost children seem to inherently know that every major
lesson we learn in life is due to pain or the cessation of
pain. they learn that if they work through each state of
pain they learn something, and that slowly a street wise
attitude begins to develop.
this practical knowledge of life leads to a deeper
understanding of life.
like wise the nine truths seem ingrained in the lost
children as deeply as the ten commandments are ingrained in
Christians.
THE NINE TRUTHS
Given in more modern language the nine truth are:
1. you are gods!--all of us are the central deity of our own
universe, we do to ourselves all the things that we do to
gods. we praise ourselves, we appeal to ourselves for aid
and forgiveness and we even make sacrifices to ourselves. It
is necessary for the Datu neophyte to fully acknowledge
their divine status in their own universe. but of course we
do, that is part of what makes us one of the lost. We are
taught our whole lives that we are not gods and we feel bad
that we believe that we are.
this can be no longer YE ARE GODS!
2. there is no good or evil. the thing that differs between
one gods view of his universe and anothers view is
perspective. we view the world in such a way as to be able
to break things down into left and right, good and evil,
indeed it is this bipolar comparison that allows us to truly
analyze a thing. Since the need to break things into left
and right is a very important part of the middle self and
since the elimination of a pole is to take half the power or
possibilities away, the Datu try to stand at the point above
and between the two poles at all times, thus we are able to
access either pole of a given situation at will. This is not
always easy and one must be fully aware of the seven
archetypes and their rise, balance and fall. in this way we
should be able to cause the rise balance or fall of all
seven archetypes when they are encountered.
3. only the present moment exists. The past is pattern of
chemicals stored in the lower self. the future is only the
expectations of what current states will evolve into. the
present moment is full, alive, and mutable if we are able to
access the apex of the poles of perspective.
4. Each must float at their own level.--One person may have
the ability to do cube roots in their head but may be unable
to draw a stick man. another person may have the most
talented brush ever yet be unable to do simple addition.
Which of them are superior? neither, each is floating at
their own level.
it is a kindness to come down to the level of one who floats
below you at a given thing, but you must not be
condescending or patronizing.
5. never utter a threat. to speak threats to others is a
waste, if you will act then act, if you would threaten then
hold your tongue.
6. a child who brags, gives away his secrets. this truth is
self evident. I can only add that when you utter threats,
you are bragging.
7. vengeance is a dish that spoils quickly in the heat, but
justice endures the furnace. this is not the old adage about
vengence being a dish served cold. rather it is an
admonishment to winnow your enemies from your adversaries
and move only with justice, not retribution. see Chemosh /
mars above.
8. divine short and enchant long.. the universe is the woven
web of all the points of randomness coalescing into a moment
of time, when that moment of time coalesces, it is the only
moment that is truly valid. the sheer random nature of the
universe precludes us looking much further than just a short
ways into the future via divination, inversely if we wish a
certain thing to take place, we increase its chances of
happening if we work on it for a long time.
9. To be alone is not enough. self explanatory
If you live the great truths then you should be able to walk
in peace and power, you will know who your enemies are, and
what their weaknesses are, they will not know your powers
and you will be in the moment, thus when you act you will be
able to complete your actions quickly and succinctly.
THE MEANING OF THE OBSIDIAN ARMOR AND THE WEAPON OF BABILANI
When we went through all the many painful lessons of life,
it was like the heat and pressure that forms obsidian.
Obsidian has two unique properties, the first is that even
though it is black, it is transparent, the second is that
obsidian fractures smoothly at the molecular level, it
produces the sharpest natural edge known to man.
When an enemy smashes against the obsidian armor they create
fractures that create sharp edges. when the enemy strikes
again he lays himself open with the shape edges and creates
even more edges, thus he defeats himself against our
experience and pain.
The weapon of Babilani called the weapon of vengeance,is the
sense of discernment that we develop when we embrace the
teachings of our sect, and learn to complete things or cut
them off, it is our right to avenge ourselves against an
enemy and our sense of absolute freedom.
We are bringers of salvation, punishment, and pain.
When we find one of the lost ones, we bring salvation.
When we find the forces of entropy being assisted by the
horde to feed uncontrollably on the creatures around them,
we bring punishment.
The pain is sometimes that of growth, and sometime that of
excision of the unwanted atavisms in our inner heart, but
the pain brings patience, and patience brings wisdom. THE
WOLF IS VERY WISE.
THE WAR OF THE GODS AND THE CHILDREN OF THE VICTORS.
When we are found, we are taught. No it is better to say
reminded about our powers. We are given lawful ability to
exercise our dominion and we go forth to war against the
pain of living.
In the war of the gods, two distinct elements of our
mageophilosphy were formatted.
