The problem with this analogy is that in Tolkien's world, hobbits co-exist
with
homo sapiens...
I too got involved with Tolkien -- and C.S. Lewis -- in the 1970s...and I
read
an interesting commentary, which I no longer have (so I don't know who the
author
was), entitled something like "Of Elves, Eldils, and Angels"...
The author compared Tolkien's cosmology with that of his friend and fellow
Oxford
"roundtable" member, C.S. Lewis...
Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic, and the author pointed out how
Tolkien's
cosmology fit in (or at least did not contradict) Roman Catholicism...
C.S. Lewis, OTOH, was a devout Protestant, and his works reflect that. But
what
is interesting is reading The Hobbit and the Ring trilogy, along with Lewis'
"Perelandra" trilogy...it is obvious each author influenced the other (not
surprising,
since each was at work on their masterpieces and shared their works in
progress at
their weekly roundtable meetings)....the influence is most pronounced in
Lewis' final
book of his sci-fi trilogy, "That Hideous Strength"...a book I have
mentioned here
before, a book which graphically depicts a "NWO" takeover, and what sort of
society
such a conglomerate (which utilizes evil metaphysical powers) would bring
about...
Tolkien and Lewis seemed to be writing on a similar theme, but front
opposing spectrums:
Tolkien at one end, in the distant past; and Lewis at the other, in the near
future (or
what was the near future for Lewis, who started his sci-fi trilogy in the
late 1930s,
and wrote the last book in the 1950s)...

Lewis' first book in his trilogy is called "Out of the Silent
Planet"...towards the end,
we find out what this title means, as the hero (not so subtlely named
"Ransom") is told
by the Eldils (an 'angelic' type race) that of all the planets in the
universe, Earth is
the 'silent' planet, because it is basically under a blockade...it is where
'evil' has
been banished, so that it won't spread to the rest of the universe....and
it's this
blockade that prevents homo sapiens being in psychic communication with the
rest of the
universe...and it is only homo sapiens that can 'redeem' Earth and it's
denizens (even
the evil ones)...
Of course, the evil spirits would rather make sure that humanity fails in
this task, and
are intent not only in taking over Earth, but the rest of the universe...
The devout Christian that C.S. Lewis was, he is obviously alluding to the
Biblical account
of the struggle in heaven between God and Lucifer, and the casting out of
the rebellious
angels...

I doubt Tolkien was into the occult...he was too devout of a Roman
Catholic...

It wasn't so secret. Everyone knew of the group, it's meetings were held
openly, once a week...

"gollum" is not a word Tolken made up...tales of "the gollum" go back to the
Middle Ages, and referred to an artificially created being without a soul...

Perhaps so, but in Lewis' Narnian cosmology, Aslan was not a god, but
somewhat
equivalent to Jesus, in that he became a resurrected savior...
Remember, Lewis was Protestant, so to him Jesus was not God, but the son of
God...
