What do you make of this? These are comments I read from another website forum. They seem very “New Age”/Eastern philosophy thinking:

THE SERPENT OF LIFE AND WISDOM

The caduceus is one of the most ancient of symbols. You might best know this symbol as the DNA structure and healing used by the medical profession. Since ancient Mesopotamia the caduceus presented two serpents intertwined (the central nervous system) around a staff (the spinal column) with the wings (the “swan”) on either side (the two hemispheres of the brain, with the circle in the center representing the pineal gland, or the central sun and psychic center within). It also symbolized the kundalini energy.

This was originally the symbol for the Sirian-Anunnaki creator god, Enki, (the Archetype) who was the chief of the magicians, “the one who knows,” and infamous for being the serpent of the Garden of Eden (the great laboratory in So. Iraq), who helped create life forms in test tubes half a million years ago. Biblical writers called the healing serpent Nehushtan. The Hebrew word for serpent is “nahash.” The root of the word are the Hebrew letters Nun, Het and Shin, which means “to guess.”

In India, the “nagas” were the serpent gods/goddesses. In the Americas there was Quetzalcoatl and Coatlicue. The entire world has worshipped the serpent for its wisdom, but ironically, it was not really about snakes at all - unless you feel you have to “guess” what a snake is up to! Why was the snake chosen? For its cleverness, ability to survive in the harshest of environments, and again, its shape resembling the flow of energy up the spine. And perhaps because it naturally instilled a bit of caution or awe in people.

The serpent always represented wisdom, life and healing. It was not considered an evil being until much later days in the Christian and Jewish religions. Enki transferred the power of the caduceus to his son Ningishzida (Thoth), the healing god, and then to others of his family because it was a code for the bloodline of Enki’s heritage.

The story of the serpent becoming an evil symbol began with the wars between Enki (Adonai) and his Pleiaden brother, Enlil (Jehovah). These conflicts began at birth and had to do with birthright to the royal throne of the Nibiruan civilization in which their father, Anu, was the leader. This story later was reflected in Cain and Abel, and all the stories throughout your times of brothers competing for power.

Although there was love between Enki and Enlil, they were used by Anu for his own power game. The brothers often did not see eye to eye on many issues, especially when it came to supporting human beings. Enlil never had patience or compassion for people, and on several occasions, Sodom and Gemmorah as one example, he literally nuked them out of existence. He attempted this again during the time of the Great Flood but Enki (and those who supported him) took swift action to alert the Noahs around the planet of the forthcoming dangers. Anu, Enlil and the other Anunnaki who sided with Anu were outraged with Enki for doing so. In the Garden of Eden situation, Enlil was furious that Enki permitted humans to have access to knowledge, thereby becoming more “godly,” and equal to the Anunnaki. To strike back at Enki, and in the attempt to regain his power over humans, Enlil vowed to tarnish Enki’s reputation by spreading the idea that the serpent of wisdom was evil. Enlil tried to wipe out knowledge of the DNA coding Enki gave humans, and of what the Anunnaki used in order to have longevity.

However, Enlil was not completely successful because most of Enki’s plan had worked. For centuries afterwards, humans attempted to duplicate what it was the gods used to maintain their youth and health, and those with the knowledge were able to concoct substitutes for a while. But, much also had to do with the DNA content of the individual. The more pure DNA from Enki’s side, the better chance one had of having longevity, etc. Then, combine the DNA with spiritual awakening to the body, blood, and spirit with nutritional supplements, and each human will know who they are.

Enlil’s revenge continued. He punished women, those who were the ones who took great pains and suffered from being the early experimenters in birthing the new generations of god/human, by creating a dominant patriarchy which destroyed and disrespected women from then on. He also created the scenario blaming the rest of human’s problems on women. The “original sin,” and the “temptation of Eve.” This did not go well with his daughter, Inanna, and her temples of female healing and trantra were all destroyed, her name wiped out for the gifts she brought to humanity, and women were enslaved and punished.

The battle between the brothers continued into the time of the Exodus. The staff with the caduceus was also one of Moses’ tools. (Yes, Moses, Aaron, and Ankhenaton and his children, Hatshepsut, are part of Enki’s family.) Moses’s staff, often utilized by his brother, Aaron, was made famous for performing miracles. Another connection between the staff and the serpents occured during the Exodus when the staff was seen to transform into snakes. Aaron was high priest and had been trained in magick. He and Moses received instructions from Enki. (Moses and Ankhenaton are incarnational Vibrani soul projections related to Enki.)

cont’d…

Moses was contacted by both sides of the family during the Exodus. Sometimes he didn’t know who he was hearing or what to do. Enki and Enlil communicated with him and this created confusion, separation of beliefs. Enki encouraged humanity to have their own connection with the source within themselves, and to live according to the belief in the One God, All That Is. Enlil’s (Jehovah) made threats and imposed actions of violence against those who did not follow his orders. Eventually, the people broke down and chose to follow him out of fear. And we all know pretty much what has happened since then, eh?

Luckily, the heritage of the caduceus lived on. In some versions the staff is capped with a solar disk or even a crescent moon. Nisaba, one of Enki’s daughters and one of my past lifetimes as a direct incarnational aspect of Enki (which I still am), also held a similar staff topped with an “ankh.” For some, the staff symbolized Hermes/Mercury. Throughout time different civilizations in India, the Americas, Greece, Egypt, including the great mystery schools and secret societies have renamed and used it. In Christianity the archangel Michael was associated with this staff. The sirens became the staff for two serpents they held in their hands. This staff was considered to be so powerful it was able to raise up the dead.

From this symbol of the serpent the power was transferred to the symbol of the dragon, who continued to hold the knowledge. The dragon could “divine.” This is one reason why we say we and you are of “divine” heritage. You will see a version of the caduceus as the winged solar disk in Ancient Egypt, which incorporated the knowledge of one’s divinity and eternal soul, along with the traditional knowledge of what it stood for. Therefore, you will see this symbol above arches and entrances into temples and royal structures to remind those who enter who they really are. And this means not only the DNA connection to Enki but the divine soul-being as coming from the Source, itself. The symbol of the winged Isis represents the female goddess, blood connection in birthing humans who mated with “the gods.” The first such goddess was Enki’s sister, and one of his wives, the great scientist, Nin. The “ankh” came from Enki’s name and is a key of how he and Nin worked together to create humans from the Neanderthal.

Enki and Enlil have worked for thousands of years to repair the damage done to Earth and humanity by their squabbling. Enlil still gets impatient sometimes, but he and Enki have learned to respect one another and find ways of working together. It is their hope that you, too, will overcome the “bad blood” between brothers, sisters, families, which has long passed and see that you are truly of the same one family. All of it, in all ways divine.

When you see the caduceus, know you are triggering your own genetic memory and seeing your heritage. Each one of you holds within you the DNA, in varying degrees, the wisdom and ability to achieve eternal life, from Enki’s line. Since Enki, there have been other off-planet beings who added in their own DNA to the human species. So, you are all a mixture - and all one family from the One God, and extraterrestrials. Within you is the consciousness with which you can liberate yourselves through knowledge, which the
serpent of wisdom symbolizes, of who you are - the real messiahs.

Yes,this is very much new age and an offshoot of the Zecharia Sitchin summerian myth.You should avoid these sorts of writings as they are contrary to not only Catholicism but the whole of Christianity as well.
Jesus Christ is our Messiah,Lord and God.No one comes to the Father but by Him.
 
For starters it’s a REALLY good idea to not read unreferenced material. Anyone can say anything about anything. Are you going to believe them? If a “fact” is REAL and it’s important, it will be accompanied by a reference.

I don’t see anything remotely like this in this pile. Do you?

Why are you wasting your time and energy then?
 
“Never read books you aren’t sure about . . . even supposing that these bad books are very well written from a literary point of view. Let me ask you this: Would you drink something you knew was poisoned just because it was offered to you in a golden cup?”

St. John Bosco

For reading, if you are searching for insights or an understanding of the Church, let me suggest Fulton Sheen, George A Kelly, Patrick Madrid… Our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI has some great books, some written as Cardinal. I don’t know how old you are, but even for questioning adults YOUCAT is a catechism for youth based of the CCC which is really good and user friendly. The Baltimore Catechism is heavily used in our home too.

p.s. had to comment on your id: Religion: Ex JW, Wanting to swim the Tiber

Remember the evil one does NOT want you to swim the Tiber. Protect your thinking, pray for grace and guidance. Btw, I put my toe in the Tiber about 1997 and finally swam in 2004!
Thanks be to God.

God bless you!
:gopray:

Pax!
 
Looks like a total waste of time.

I couldn’t even read all that mess.
 
I thank all of you for your concern for me, but I firmly believe in Christ and His Church. I believe everything that the Catholic Church teaches and by God’s grace, I will enter the Church, hopefully, next year. Please pray for me in that regard.

My intent was to get others thoughts on this article. It’s seems very wacky to me.

Where did you get this information? Enki is the first god mentioned in Sumeria, not sure about Moses being with Enki because the Sumerians were way before Moses time. If you dig deep you will find Enki has a son named Horis who saved humanity by being hung from a tree. Kinda bizarre but Enki is also known as Ptah. I’m not sure what to think but I always keep a open mind, that’s why I asked where you got this information from, what website & what not.
 
Moses raised a brass serpent on a pole in the wilderness for all who had been bit by the poisonous snakes send by Yahweh to punish those who were grumbling with death…any who looked upon the serpent was healed…Jesus used this metaphore in the Gospels of “as the serpent was lifted up in the wilderness…so when I am lifted up…”

Ancient Hebrew religious development included some of the attributes of the other gods to Yahweh…Elohim…El Elyon…names of God…trace their origins to “El” the HIgh God of the Cannanites…became amaglamated into YHVH of the Hebrews…the Hebrews and Summerian…Cannanites…all share similar stories of gods and creation.

YHVH stands for the elements - earth, fire, air , and water . That’s where the Hebrews got that and elements are very, very Pagan .

Question…I understand that some traditions hold that “east” is air and “south” is fire…YET different traditions ascribe one of the 4 tools differently…North-pentacle…East-wand(some traditions athame)South-wand(some traditions athame)…does the “H” used twice in the Tetragramaton stand for these two elements sharing Tools?
 
:: Looks at the wall of text on the first two posts, throws up hands in dismay::

I’ve studied mythology and folklore, and I’ve even drawn parallels between similar myths, but this is a wibbly-wobbly ball of mythy-withy…stuff. It’s like a mythology nut was on some marijauna cut with heaven knows what when they wrote it. Dare I ask where this was found?

I’ve never heard if East- wand etc etc, sorry I can’t be of any help on this.

Lots of thing in the bible cause me to raise a eyebrow as to we’re the Hebrews really got there stories if not from God. A lot of stories sound like several pagan god stories all mixed into a certain Hebrew character with a Jewish name. For instance , Moses was found in a swamp and Horus was born in a swamp , Horus was hung from a tree and Jesus was crucified, the stories of Rebecca , she seems a awful like Ishtar who is later known as isis , then you have Cain and Abel with striking similarities as Set and Osiris and set sent out to wonder the world. These are just some examples as there are many many more, this is why I’m confused.

Good point: I took a course on Egyptian history, which pointed out the similarities between the story of Joseph the patriarch and Potiphar’s wife, with a bit Egyptian fiction that was popular about the same rough time period.

Hold on if they are using east /wand of anthems that is a device for a ritual and they are pointing it as they circle each direction. I would strongly suggest that you do not attempt this yourself , but if it’s just to know then that’s always great, knowledge is power and everyone agrees on that.

LOL…I’m not a practitioner of any “magick”…ritual, sympathetic, natural, or Earth…just curious about the statement YHVH signified the elements…and air and fire have different attributions…colors in various traditions.

Thank you , it almost makes me believe the hebrews were just looking for a way to gain power, the stories of other gods lumped in to one Hebrew character and given a Jewish name then of course the Hebrews are the chosen of god and until this were basically afflicted makes me raise a brow, I’m not saying I’m right by any means but it really gives me a headache because I can’t be positive so I’m in Limbo or as the good people of the book migh say I’m lost, I’ll be the first to admit it and that’s why I’m here.

The Pentauch didn’t take it’s present form till about 500 BCE…it went under major revision after the Return as the Priestly class revised the texts…the second Temple was being built…Judah was going through “ethnic cleansings” of sorts…Judah was becoming truly “monotheistic” around this time instead of “henotheistic” which they had been.

Of course the Hebrews were out to gain power…they were conquering Canaan and the Most High God El of the Canaanites heavily influence the Hebrews understaind of “El Elyon”…“Elohim”…even the title “Most High God” was adopted…remember after the Exile the Jews began to believe that “No other gods exist but the One True Living God”…before the Exile, they believed their God was the “Most High God” over any other nations gods.
