I agree with Kelly, above., If she meant that the story is difficult to follow and understand, I agree. Plus it doesn’t seem to be about “creation.” It seems more like a historical record of what happened in Mesopotamia after humanity left “the Garde of Eden” — a harmonious, spiritual way the hom*o sapiens lived (like the other animals) in harmonious interrelationship, for 275,000 years (approx).
In The Garden we were matristic and peaceful. We were herbivores (as our teeth suggest) and we grazed over the land like other animals…all being Divinely guided to fulfillment of needs from their Higher Self –Inner Being. All was Within…and ALL of the animals knew it. But hom*o sapiens collectively made a free will choice to use only their small mind –their left brain, male mind, ego-mind –the mind that was designed for perceiving and considering physical reality. It was and is “outer-directed” towards the things we create in physical form. They are symbols of the contents of the individuals mind/consciousness.
A choice to ONLY look outward meant that The Feminine (Withinness) would be demoted and even despised, and diminished by those who chose to identify with the ego-mind only. The Feminine included all that was Nature…was Natural. And the spiritual was in fact entirely within.
But the ego mind flipped everything upside down and inside out. It made outer “reality” a symbolic picture, seem more real than anything within…like everyone’s Inner Being, their own Divinity, mutual respect, emotions, dreams, revelations, intuitions and KNOWING.etc.
The ego mind replaced all those inner things with its outer directed intellect — the so called “rational mind.” This outer reality was created by our masculine ego-mind and, being small, and having rejected the BIG PICTURE that the Divine Feminine holds…the ego-mind culture/paradigm stuck its head in the sand about everything that seemed to diminish its self esteem–its ego.
Ego, the masculine explorer part of ourselves, becomes “king” of the self –instead of servant., swain, explorer for the Queen — the Inner Self. It looks outward and creates the first King, first warfare, firrst slaves, demotion of women and children from sacred to chattel…there to serve the masculine.
This era in Mesopotamia, about , about 5400 BCE was the result of the new ego–now “freed ” from the Queen (Inner Being –who was never anything but extremely loving, kind, respectful, and wishing his complete freedom). He (ego) thought he could do it all better and “all by himself”. He does not ask directions of anyone –especially not his Loving Inner Being. Hence, illness, poverty, crime, lies, tricks, manipulations, money, gossip, warfare, , leaders, dominators, politics, government, gambling, religion, indebtedness, false spirituality, cruelty, torture, suicide, taxes, technology, machines, “helping”, science, medicine, etc all arose in its wake –the wake of our choice to use ONLY our ego-mind –our male side.
Alulim was the first king of Eridu and Sumer…the first “king” of the first city on Earth. Cities happened when people got scared and started to create large tight groups for “safety”. They traded the true safety provided by living in alignment with one’s Inner Being –as we did in The Garden and as all the other animals do — for external, illusory, ego mind “safety…domination of others and allowing yourself to be dominated by an exteranl human leader (mostly males.)
The so-called “benefits” of “civilization” are all cheap knockoffs of REAL REALITY — as is known by our own Divine Self — our Inner Being. The suffering involved in all of the knockoffs is a result of our rejection of our own most beautiful self –our non-physical, spiritual, Divine Self –our Inner Being, our Divine Feminine Self.
The “gods” of all of the patriarchal religions–the father/sky/gods — are all twisted interpretations of our own, inherent, Inner Divinity, our Withinness. ALL IS WITHIN. The Feminine is WITHIN.
We are each the tips of the branches of The Tree of Light the Huodneausonee revered. The central column of White Light that sends out branches with growing tips into new forms of reality. Our physical sun represents HER. She has sent out “branches” (planets) who circle around Her and depend on her for life.
Its insane to reject HER. It is literally suicide. All pain and suffering come from our beliefs that separate us from Her and Her Truth.
Many mystics have seen the column of white light at the center of their being. Eternally growing upward and down, but faintly marked with plateaus that swirl in “solar-system-like” discs, all along the upward movement of the column of Being. We each have one and we all have the same one. The Psycho-Spiritual Universe is totally within ourselves and we are totally within the Universe. Paradox rules. The ego mind cannot comprehend paradox.
So getting back to The Garden involves turning within; and meditating on one’s Inner Being (which everyone has and is our Divine aspect, which is Source Energy/Love/ Consciousness.)
When we understand these things above we will not search for “creation stories”. They are made up by the ego mind. We will KNOW from within, what is more real, more true.
