Atlantis is a myth. The only mention of it is in a STORY by Plato. Perhaps it 
refers to a volcano in the Aegean that destroyed the island of Thera 
(Santorini) which affected the entire area. Folk memories would keep a story 
alive.
 

 The mythical elements of a vast civilisation were added later, possibly as a 
warning to us that we are slaves to nature no matter how important we think we 
are.. The new age idea that they were some sort of superior seed civilisation 
was added much later. The UFO/alien myth was added after people invented UFOs 
and aliens. What a creative and fascinating species we are!

 You might find the ideas of Michael Cremo, who supports the antiquity of the 
vedic civilization, interesting.  In short, he is stating that humans today are 
a product of a devolution from highly evolved  humans in the past.

 So, IMO Atlantis and its people can be considered as part of this vedic 
civilization.  They were supposedly highly developed in consciousness and 
technology.

 The idea that human beings are a slave race, forced to work inside a human

one. The Book of Genesis, based on ideas contained in the Sumerian religion, 
describes an advanced society, which flourished around 3500 B.C. 
 
 Aliens posing as the Gods for a custodial race?
 
 Like other ancient societies, the Sumerians left records stating that 
human-like creatures of extraterrestrial origin had ruled early human society 
as Earth's first monarchs. Those alien people were often thought of as "gods."
 
 Some people believe that a Supreme Being is behind the vicious Machiavellian 
intentions described in the Bible. However, the idea that a "Custodial" race 
posing as a Supreme Being seems to provide a true breakthrough by pointing to a 
brutal technological society, not a Supreme Being, as the more likely source of 
such warlike machinations.

the stereotypical differences in male and female behaviour, scientists have

run between the front and the back of the same side of the brain, whereas in 
women the connections are more likely to run from side to side between the left

 rightfor some.  The official RC party line would be that all Eucharists 
are equal in their supposed Transubstantiation component; but practically 
speaking, devotees of Padre Pio crowded into his Church on Mass Days to even 
get a glimpse of him raising the Host in the air and going into a state of 
ecstasy.  On occasion, he would levitate into the air.

 Offhand, I'd say there's a great variation in the Shakti level of "official" 
TM teachers especially in their performance of the puja.  Of course, those who 
performed thousands of initiations like Jerry, Jessamine Verrill, etc; would 
radiate more Shakti than others.  Charlie was particularly powerful.

Don't worry. We'll just find some stupid psycho-nation to nuke. 

 

 After everyone condemns us and we are threatened with expulsion from the UN, 
we'll have a chance to repudiate everything, including our unmanageable debt. 
We'll vacate the UN spy-haven and send all the thieving ambassadors to Geneva. 
We can then bring all of our troops home from Europe and plant a 1/2 mile deep 
mine field on the Southern Border. 

 

 The Euro-plead-ons will have to defend themselves from the Russians and the

Argument over dinnerware leads to stabbing

December 1, 2013 

 Richland County, SC — A man has been charged in connection with a stabbing 
Sunday.

Edward William Bright, 47, was charged with assault and battery second degree 
in connection with the incident, Richland County Sheriff’s Department spokesman 
Sgt. Curtis Wilson said.

Just after 6 p.m. in the 300 block of Lakeridge Parkway, deputies found two men 
who had allegedly argued over dinnerware to use for a meal when one of the men 
stabbed the other with a steak knife, Wilson said.

The man who was stabbed several times in the upper body was taken to the 
hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Wilson said.

No other details were available early Sunday night.

Yes, I think John Esq. is correct - human civilization may be much 
older, but you have to understand that *recorded history* in India 
begins with the historical Buddha, circa 563 BC - everything before that 
is considered to be pre-historical.


From what I've read, the first written inscriptions in India date from 
the time of Ashoka, circa 200 BC, and the erection of the Ashoka Pillar 
at Sarnath. Campbell was probably referring to the *oral history* in the 
words contained in the Rig Veda, circa 1200-1500 BC.


Certainly there is epigraphic evidence before 1500 BC in the form of 
monuments, but the remains of edifice architecture in India is dated 
around 200 BC at the Lomas Rishi cave in Malabar, except for some 
megalithic structure that were apparently erected before that.


The starting point for South Asian pre-history is the neolithic, 
megalith builders of Dravidian (Mediteranean), Souteast Asian, and 
Malayan cultures, among many of the cultures that existed in the Indus 
Valley Civilization around 2400 B.C.

The consciousness of the highest evolved animals were given the

According to Joseph Campbell, recorded history begins with the Rig

first human prophecy, the sayings of the first human progenitor
called Manu. Apparently, the Aryans who invaded and destroyed
India in 1500 B.C. came from the Middle East; not for nothing is
the land they came from called Iran (Campbell 262). It is an
interesting fact that all the Vedic Gods are armed to the teeth,

Campbell describes the work of James Darmiester, the translator of
the "Zend Avesta", and notes that Zoroaster was one of the
earliest prophets to preach an apocalypse within monotheism.
Eschatological teachings were widely disseminated in Persia around
750 B.C. by this famous Persian prophet. Zoroaster's cosmology was
based on the concept of a struggle between good and evil (Campbell
269)). Alexander he Great of Macedonia destroyed the Persian
Empire, fulfilling the prophecy of Zoroaster. Go figure.

Re "Socialist programs such as bailing out the big banks":
 

 Bailing out failing businesses isn't capitalism red in tooth and claw!
 

 It was the Labour government in the UK that bailed out the banks over here.
 

 Here's the thing: when facing bankruptcy, the head of Lehmann's in the US went 
to the state to ask for a bailout and was thunderstruck when his request was 
denied. But in cut-throat capitalism you don't bail out failing businesses. Why 
did he expect to be bailed out?  Because what we have now in the West is crony 
capitalism and corporatism where the politicians and finance leaders have 
cozied up to each other.

 From the vedic perspective, the demise of Atlantis may have been due to the 
devolution of the its people due to the Yuga cycle.  The cycle is estimated to 
be 24,000 years.  From what I've read Atlantis may be older than this period.  
So, its civilization may have existed a few cyscles before our age.
 

 Here is an explanation of Sri Yukteshwar's yuga cycle:

 From this explanation, we are supposedly now in the ascending cycle of the 
Dwapara cycle or the Copper Age.

 Like other ancient societies, the Sumerians left records stating that

 Some people believe that a Supreme Being is behind the vicious Machiavellian

[FairfieldLife] checklist for Hindu & Buddhist programs

2013-12-02 Thread yifuxero
(basic rationale can also be applied to Christianity but without much success). 
 ...
 I made a quick inventory of what elements make programs successful, restricted 
to Traditions derived or evolved from (what Westerners call): Hinduism, and 
Buddhism; also inclusive of Indian subcontinent Traditions in which there is no 
expressed allegiance to any other lineage; but which obviously are related to 
typically "religious" groups.  
 ..
 Examples: MMY and the various TM programs: (basically technique oriented with 
ritualistic overtones derived from a "Holy Tradition"; so we include and 
examine this in the light of the checklist I came up with.:
 

 CHECKLIST:
 1. Devotion - to a Guru or Deity
 2. Shakti (ie.is Shakti present ? (You'll have to use your Shakti meter on 
this one!)
 3. Rituals
 4. An ancient language capable of acting as a "carrier" for the Shakti, such 
as Skt, Sino-Japanese, Hebrew, etc...
 5. Mantras: repeated silently, outloud, or as japa
 5b. also includes the mechanism of repeating the mantra such as degree of 
"hard" concentration, etc.
 6. Breathing techniques with activation of the chakras
 7. Group programs available? (may include you-tube presentations)
 8. Regular practices leading to goals
 9. an "elevated" Guru preferably without moral blemish.
 10. Yagyas designed to mitigate bad karma.
 
 Now we can select some groups, then evaluate them in light of the checklist.
 I note - on mantras, MMY's programs are deficient in japa, whereas SSRS 
recommends the repetition of the Gayatri Mantra.  The TMO doesn't object to the 
devotional element, which is up to the individual. On the downside, the TMO may 
likewise miss out on the opportunity to strongly support one devotional icon as 
opposed to others.  On the latter basis coupled with #9, Christianity has 
basically taken over 1/3 of the world without having strong contributions in 
some of the other places.
 ...
 In regard to Christianity, I'd say that on the whole, it's woefully indequate, 
particularly in the Shakti category. However, there's plenty of emotional 
enthusiasm in some of the Christian sections, particularly among the 
Evangelicals.  However, an abundance of emotional enthusiasm is no substitute 
for the Shaki that allows for "transcendence".
 ...
 In my experience, the most intense Shakti site is the Ramakrishna Temple in 
Hollywood, CA.
 ...
 The evil sects can also be evaluated using the checklist, with probable 
failure in the moral development of the leader.  However, even with minor moral 
deficiencies, some Traditions can be quite successful,.up to a point!..

I checked the Yahoo forecast for San Francisco, CA.  They predicted good 
weather for the entire week.  So, there's no need for snow here.  So, at worst, 
there would probably be a thin coat of frost in the garden early in the 
morning.  No sweat.

By the way, I like bok choy as a vegetable.  It's easy to cook and can fit with 
any main dishes.  I have some in the fridge right now.  But tonight I might go 
to Tommy's Joynt to have their lamb shank dinner entree.  It's the best lamb 
dish I've ever tasted-- for those who have not tried it and are thinking of 
visiting San Francisco in the near future.

I think he mentioned 'recorded' history; at any rate, if you trace back the 
genesis of man you'd have to go back before Atlantis and Lemuria, and even 
before that. 
  
 Swami Yogananda has said that the human being was a special creation by God; 
the only creature having all 7 power centers (chakras), thereby the only one 
having the ability to 'fully' reflect consciousness (God).
  
 The consciousness of the highest evolved animals were given the opportunity to 
take on these special bodies, hence consciousness has evolved from as far back 
as the mineral, plant, animal and finally man.
  
 As it is sometimes said, "from clod, to God".

to be true especially after they had robbed most of the middle class of their 
money.

I'll agree that Congress is drunk on spending just to get re-elected. Career 
politicians are obsolete and need to be deprecated.

BTW, the Internet seems to be wanky today due to "Cyber Monday".  Even

" Maybe so, but that doesn't answer the question of how and why the ancients 
built Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England or how workers constructed Machu Picchu 
in Cusco, Peru."
 

 How and why? How=they dragged stones from elsewhere. Not difficult to work 
out, at stonehenge they know where they all came from, some from as far as 
south Wales!
 

 Why? Good question, many theories exist from an ancient meeting place for 
healing rituals to site for human sacrifice at solstices. The difference 
between actual archaeology and the Sitchin/von Daniken crowd is that theories 
are put forward based on evidence that is discovered, as we learn more about 
our ancestors we can come up with better ideas about how they saw the world and 
what they were trying to achieve. Trouble is they lived so long ago we can only 
make educated guesses, certainty is right out of the equation.
 

 Which isn't the case with the ancient astronaut theorists, the list of 
intellectual errors and sloppy science that this lot indulge in drives proper 
archaeologists crazy, especially as their books outsell credible research by a 
thousand to one! What accounts for this? Why do people have a need to believe 
that we came from some ancient super-race? It's a much more interesting mystery 
that anything von Daniken came up with...
 

  
"It seems like we've had a lot of help from someone, at some time in the past 
in order to drill straight through solid granite without a metal tool. And, 
why? That's a very large public works project!" 

 That's just it, nothing I've seen (and I have visited a great many ancient 
sites) makes me think that the builders had some sort of supernormal help. In 
fact I think it's an insult our forefathers to think they must have had UFOs 
levitating stones to the top of the pyramids or whatever. This was all done by 
cunning, brute force and devotion. Give them some credit. Remember it's YOU 
that needs to believe in a golden age we've descended from.
 

 I think psychologists call it the "legend of the fall" and it stems from our 
natural sense of dislocation from nature that arises from birth and the 
awareness that we've lost our mother. Everyone gets it, we all think life was 
better once and seek ways to regain what we instinctively feel we've lost. It's 
just life guys.

"We all came from somewhere; almost everything on the planet came from outer 
space. So, it's not a stretch to think there are other entities much more 
advanced than ourselves out there that could come here in the future and came 
here in the past. There's no logical reason I can think of that would indicate 
that we are alone in the universe. "
 

 Well maybe not, but that isn't any sort of logical proof that we've been 
visited. I think you need proof that some people did something that actually 
couldn't have been done with what they had available. Or, even better, a buried 
spaceship or something. All von Daniken had was his woeful misinterpretations 
of ancient carvings. For some reason he thought that because something looked 
like what we would call spaceship now it must have been a spaceship then. It's 
his own ignorance about what people can achieve with simple tools that led him 
to think they must have aliens "we couldn't do this now" is a common refrain 
from this crowd. Probably not, we'd just do it differently.
 

 If the ancients had built something that still seems like advanced technology 
to us, then we'd know they had some help but everything they did was in phase 
one building materials. Rocks and stuff they could melt out of them. No 
plastics or synthetic compounds. Just stuff you find on the ground, are you 
suggesting ancient astronauts flew here on logs? Where is their legacy other 
than things we don't seem able to give credit to our earlier selves for?

 Another form of Denial-of-service is to pick the people one doesn't like
 on an Internet forum and harass them with literally hundreds or
 thousands of posts for many years until they no longer feel it is worth
 posting on the forum. Because every time them do, the stalkers will
 start their harassment campaign again.
 
 Many of these victims finally decide that it really isn't worth it to
 participate any more because the constant harassment from their stalkers
 prevents them from contributing anything of value, so they leave.
 
 The stalkers consider this a "win." More sane people consider it a loss
 for the forum, because the people chased away by the stalkers were often
 the best and brightest posters.
 
 Others not directly targeted by the stalkers also consider it a loss,
 because the stalkers tend to then take over the forum and use it to post
 nothing but their own petty grievances and vendettas, drowning out the
 interesting discussions other posters originally signed up for. Many of
 these "secondary victims" also end up leaving the forum.
 
 The ones who stay generally avoid interacting with the stalkers, because
 they've seen what will happen to *them* if they say something that lands
 them on the stalkers' Enemies List. In the end, the only people who
 interact with the stalkers are the occasional well-meaning person trying
 to get them to lighten up and return to sanity (dangerous, because
 that's guaranteed to land them on the Enemies List themselves), or the
 toadies and groupies who suck up to the primary stalkers, kiss their
 asses, and try to emulate and perpetuate their sick behavior.
 
 It's a form of cyberterrorism.

Just like what you did when I first started posting to FFL. You had had a few 
beers and got mean and nasty. It was just about enough to drive me away. You 
are easily as guilty of this as anyone and I believe this explains your

That 17 trillion national debt comes mainly from socialistic programs, not

That is undeniably true. The problem is that you (Yanks) now have debt equal to 
$17 trillion. There is no way you can pay that debt off; there is no way you 
can deliberately introduce controlled inflation to devalue the sum. You are at 
the mercy of the international financial system. 

Income inequality in both the US and UK is now at levels not seen since the 
early decades of the 20th century. The real villain is globalisation. Companies 
can run rings around national governments as they have branches in many 
countries and can avoid tax in all places except the one country that offers 
them the lowest rates. It's a nightmare and these multinationals are 
effectively outside any democratic control.

 Back in the 1800's the Tate's Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to
 produce other products, and since they already made the cases for watches,
 they used them to produce compasses.

The new compasses were so bad that  people often ended up in Canada or

Thanks for the link!

According to Joseph Campbell, recorded history begins with the Rig Veda 
around 1200 B.C. Within the Rig Veda is contained perhaps the first 
human prophecy, the sayings of the first human progenitor called Manu. 
Apparently, the Aryans who invaded and destroyed India in 1500 B.C. came 
from the Middle East; not for nothing is the land they came from called 
Iran (Campbell 262). It is an interesting fact that all the Vedic Gods 
are armed to the teeth, including Vishnu himself.


Campbell describes the work of James Darmiester, the translator of the 
"Zend Avesta", and notes that Zoroaster was one of the earliest prophets 
to preach an apocalypse within monotheism. Eschatological teachings were 
widely disseminated in Persia around 750 B.C. by this famous Persian 
prophet. Zoroaster's cosmology was based on the concept of a struggle 
between good and evil (Campbell 269)). Alexander he Great of Macedonia 
destroyed the Persian Empire, fulfilling the prophecy of Zoroaster. Go 
figure.

And, the chariots of the Gods?

As it happens, the only evidence which establishes any kind of antiquity 
for the Aryan gods, as a matter of certainty and not mere supposition, 
is epigraphic (ancient inscriptions).


It has however been found not in India but in Asia Minor. The reference 
is in a tablet in Hittite cuneiform and written in the Akkadian 
language, discovered at Boghazkoy. The document is an adjunct to a 
treaty between the Hittite king Suppiluliuma and his son-in-law, the 
Mitannian king Kurtiwaza, and it contains a long list of the gods of the 
peoples who were parties to it.


The date of the tablet must be some year within the reign of 
Suppiluliuma, which was from 1370 B.C. to 1335 B.C. According to Hittite 
cuneiform written in the Akkadian language.


The gods are invoked to witness the conclusion of the treaty and 
guarantee its observance. The gods of the Mitannians are named in these 
forms: Mi-it-ra, U-ru-ua-na, In-da-ra, and Na-sa-at-ti-ia-an-na. It is 
evident that these names correspond to Mitra, Varuna, Indra, and 
Nasatuau of the Vedic pantheon.


The following curse is pronounced against the Mitannians: "If you, 
Kurtiwaza, the prince, and the sons of the Hurri country do not fulfill 
the words of the treaty, may the gods, the lords of earth, blot you out, 
you and the Hurri men together with your country, your wives, and all 
that you have." This suggests that these gods were deities of local 
principalities.


There is also a close linguistic affinity between the Mitannians and the 
Indo-Aryans in respect to cuneiform, which contains the so-called Horse 
Treatise by a Mitannian named Kikkuli. This was also found at Boghazkoy.

[FairfieldLife] Naked They Pray

2013-12-02 Thread Richard J. Williams
This is the report that I promised yesterday. In keeping with the 
general tone of this discussion forum, I'd like to start a new thread 
centered on "The Sex Lives of Godmen".

*
WARNING* This post contains material of a prurient interest. Do NOT 
read if you are sensitive to depravity of a sexual nature. This is 
serious reading; not meant for conservative meditators on the spiritual 
path.


Note: The term 'godmen' here refers not only to cult leaders like Osho, 
but to all yogis, maulvis, bauls, fakirs, gurus, swamis, pastors and 
priests who make mystical claims and hold devotees in awe in order to 
cop a feel, or worse.


Tantra Yoga is all a matter of positioning and placement (no pun 
intended). There's no better way to get in shape for sex than doing yoga 
postures in a hot and sweaty yoga gym downtown with a bunch of good 
lookin' men and women all around you. But, some of the deceitful antics 
of these charlatans should be exposed (again, no pun intended).


So, let's review some of the sex rumors of the Godmen:

There was the Zen Master Rama, who had multiple affairs and then offed 
himself wearing a dog collar. There was the so-called Marshy, who 
reportedly murdered his master so he could get his ring, and then slept 
with his own clerks on a deer-skin rug in front of a painting of his 
guru, SBS. And, there's the Donald at Ananda. Some people probably 
remember the case of Richard Baker, who left two pair of shoes outside 
the door at the Zen Mountain Center. Go figure.


And, who can forget the drunkard Chogyam Trungpa and his Regent, the 
Osel Tendzin?


The Indian Swami Muktananda wore dark glasses and it is alleged molested 
young girls while wearing an orange bed-sheet and a wool cap. Swami 
Satchitananda favored Marlboros and and young girls and then gave the 
invocation at Woodstock. Then, there was the Swami Rama convicted of 
rape, who claimed to be a Shankaracharya from India. An ashram won more 
than $2.5 million after its longtime guru, Kripalu confessed to having 
coitus with sixteen students and leaders. Then there's Gail and that 
Amma book. And, what's up with that John Friend guy?


Not to mention that Swami out in Hays County that was convicted of 
twenty counts of indecency with a child! This is just outrageous!

 You might find the ideas of Michael Cremo, who supports the antiquity of the

Good point, Ann. People that post here anonymously are not real 
people, in the sense that they have any real attributes - it could be 
and probably is, just all made up avatars or personas. In that they 
have an advantage over the informants who use their real names. Lot's 
of people have hidden agendas. Often it's just a result of 
frustration. Most people want to be heard, to have a voice, any kind 
of voice, so they can be remembered for at least saying something - 
being famous for at least one second.


Anonymous respondents are usually, but not always, people that 
shouldn't even be posting on the internet in the first place. I 
suspect that many of the secret informants are posting on company time 
using company computers, or they are up to some other nefarious 
activities and don't want to be caught. Others who don't want to use 
their real name may be just trying to hide what they post from their 
significant other. Go figure.


Hoaxers can also post and say just about anything without taking 
taking any personal responsibility for what they say. There's very 
little accountability in some chat rooms and there's not much 
moderation. That's why so many threads here go down the drain so 
quickly - human excrement always flows downstream to a lower level.


That's what happened over on Usenet at  
- the real honest respondents can't defend themselves very well when 
attacked by someone they don't even know from Adam. And, in the end, 
no one really cares what happens on a news group anyway - it's all 
transient. But, there are a few who take pride in anything they do and 
that's where it gets interesting for the serious writers; they learn 
from others no matter what the media.


So, it's really just a game of sorts for people that like to write 
using plain text. Some people just feel better when they have someone 
to talk to. I mean, if the chat-room yakkers had anything better to 
do, they would be doing it, right?


Personal attacks kind of go with the territory. It's fun to make fun 
of people sometimes - but often some respondents take things much too 
seriously and get really personal and hold grudges. People that want 
to post honestly always run the risk of getting slandered and slimmed 
to no end. But, if it's too hot for some people, then should just get 
out of the kitchen!


In my case, I've been building up a data base of 10,000 notes that 
will form my book about spiritual paths (no it won't have anything in

 No, I gave no "example," Share. Rather, I quoted a post of mine that you had 
said false things about, for the purpose of showing that they were false. And 
there is no "I think" about whether I used qualifiers in that post. I did use 
qualifiers in that post (not "example"), contrary to your claims in your post 
on Sunday about that post of mine.
 

 Emily quoted my post quoting your Sunday post, and the post of mine your 
Sunday post was about, below if you need to refresh your memory, but it 
couldn't have been clearer.
 

 > What I mainly remember is how she initially responded and how she continues

 No, no, Share. You are obfuscating.
 

 The post of mine I quoted from September 9, 2012, was the one you were 
referring to in your own post on Sunday. That post of yours from Sunday said 
things that were not true about that post of mine.
 

 The post of mine that you referred to and said false things about was my 
initial response to your own post of September 9, 2012, about your kerfuffle 
with Robin.
 

 You claimed in your post Sunday that my September 9, 2012, post was the first 
time I had "run [my] game" on you. It isn't true that that was the first time 
we clashed, but I'm not going into that for now.
 

 The issue of concern to me is the false things you said about that post on 
Sunday, and your refusal to take responsibility for doing so, including your 
attempt to obfuscate the whole business in your post that I'm responding to 
now. The notion that there was some "example" post is a deliberate obfuscation; 
so is your apparent claim that there was some "initial" post different from the 
one you said false things about. We are talking about one single post of mine, 
not three or more.
 

 > I don't think we are ever going to agree about all this.
 

 There is no issue of "agreement," only of facts as reflected in the FFL 
archives. You said things that were not true about a post of mine; I proved 
they were not true. It isn't a matter of anybody's opinion. Each of us created 
the respective posts in question by typing the words we wanted to say in them 
with our own fingers on our own keyboards.
 

 > In that light, I think it's more beneficial for everyone to simply move on 
 > to more interesting topics and let all 
 > that go.
 

 Here's how we do that, Share: You admit that you said things that were 
false--factually false--about that post of mine of September 9. (It would be 
nice if you'd also apologize for saying those false things, but I don't believe 
you're capable of it.) Once you've taken responsibility for your own words, we 
can let all that go.
 

 > I also recognize that Judy doesn't intend to do this and I'll deal with that 
 > as best as I can from day to day.

 

 There's no need for you to deal with it from day to day. You only have to deal 
with it once, as I just outlined. Whatever may go on from day to day will be a 
function of your not having dealt with it.

 

 > IT'S JUST A CHAT ROOM!

 

 False and derogatory things said about other people in "chat rooms" are just 
as false, and just as morally and ethically reprehensible, as false and 
derogatory things said about other people anywhere else. We don't get excused 
from the responsibility to speak the truth just because we're in a chat room.

We may have to leave it up to Empty or BillyG to explain Atlantis. But, 
I do know a little about the Levant. The question is, did the Hindus 
help write the Bible?


The entire Levant is probably Vedic influenced. A long time ago the 
Sanskrit speaking Aryans came out of the Caucasus and into Persia on 
their way to India. Their ideology may have given rise to Zoroaster and 
Mani. According to the Bible, Abraham came out of UR and went to Mari to 
marry Sarah (apparently he also had a cook named Hagar) and then they 
went to the Levant with some camels. Not for nothing did they call him 
'Abrahm' and her, 'Sarai" (Brahma and Saraswati).


But, in fact, there is probably no historical 'Abraham' or 'Sarah' who 
came from Ur or Mari, or a Hagar for that matter; it's just a myth, a 
story, to illustrate a political point. There are many myths surrounding 
the person of 'Abraham'.

 This sounds like Zachariah Sitchin's idea of the Annunakis, who supposedly 
performed genetic engineering on prehistoric human ancestors to make them look 
like them.  So, in short, the human beings today look like the Annunakis, who 
were the gods that came from the skies.

The programmer is God and Hackers are the prophets of Information
Technology.

So, if you are a hacker, it would be evil to not share your data and your
code with the rest of the world, to save mankind from ignorance - a moral
imperative for the hacker. The hacker's world view is libertarian- they
believe that powerful individuals are taking over the Internet and
controlling our thoughts through the media, violating our privacy. All the
while posting reams of information about themselves. Go figure.

"Because he knows the power of the technology he has mastered, he knows how
distressingly fragile the barrier is between freedom and censorship—it’s a
simple matter of who writes the code. Underlying it all was the hacker
belief that the world could be perfected if enough of us tapped society’s
vast reserves of knowledge and put it to proper use."

Another form of Denial-of-service is to pick the people one doesn't like
on an Internet forum and harass them with literally hundreds or
thousands of posts for many years until they no longer feel it is worth
posting on the forum. Because every time them do, the stalkers will
start their harassment campaign again.

Many of these victims finally decide that it really isn't worth it to
participate any more because the constant harassment from their stalkers
prevents them from contributing anything of value, so they leave.

The stalkers consider this a "win." More sane people consider it a loss
for the forum, because the people chased away by the stalkers were often
the best and brightest posters.

Others not directly targeted by the stalkers also consider it a loss,
because the stalkers tend to then take over the forum and use it to post
nothing but their own petty grievances and vendettas, drowning out the
interesting discussions other posters originally signed up for. Many of
these "secondary victims" also end up leaving the forum.

The ones who stay generally avoid interacting with the stalkers, because
they've seen what will happen to *them* if they say something that lands
them on the stalkers' Enemies List. In the end, the only people who
interact with the stalkers are the occasional well-meaning person trying
to get them to lighten up and return to sanity (dangerous, because
that's guaranteed to land them on the Enemies List themselves), or the
toadies and groupies who suck up to the primary stalkers, kiss their
asses, and try to emulate and perpetuate their sick behavior.

It's a form of cyberterrorism.

Richard, John or anyone, where does Atlantis fit into this scenario of 
Sumerians? It seems they were an advanced race with highly developed 
technologies. I've not read much about all this but find it fascinating. I also 
wonder how the ancient Vedic civilization fits in with all this.

Aliens posing as the Gods for a custodial race?

Like other ancient societies, the Sumerians left records stating
  that human-like creatures of extraterrestrial origin had ruled
  early human society as Earth's first monarchs. Those alien people
  were often thought of as "gods."

Some people believe that a Supreme Being is behind the vicious
  Machiavellian intentions described in the Bible. However, the idea
  that a "Custodial" race posing as a Supreme Being seems to provide
  a true breakthrough by pointing to a brutal technological society,
  not a Supreme Being, as the more likely source of such warlike
  machinations.

If there are ETs or other human beings in the universe, IMO these 
entities can be classified according to various sectors of the skies 
that belong to each zodiac sign.  Specifically, if there are ETs in 
the star group of Pleiades, they would belong to the sign of Taurus 
since the star group is located in this constellation.
