1. All the gods and goddesses are within the human brain
2. A man’s fate is his character
3. A man’s character and fate can be altered through Brain Change

Lower Consciousness cannot fathom higher consciousness.

The myth is the foundation of life, the timeless schema, the pious formula into which life flows
when it reproduces its traits out of the unconscious.

Inanna opened her ear to the moaning of her sister Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld and abandoned her
realm of heaven and earth, even her temples, to descend into the "great below". "With the me in her possession, she
prepared herself:" placing her crown upon her head, beads of lapis lazuli around her neck, sparkling stones fastened to her breast (Henderson & Oakes, p. 102) , a gold ring around her
wrist, and a royal robe upon her body. She bound a breastplate about her chest and took a lapis measuring rod
and line in her hand. Then she set out for the kur, the netherworld, with her faithful servant, Ninshubur.

When she arrived at the outer gates of the kur she commanded Ninshubur to wait for three days, and if she had not returned, to call upon the elder Gods for help.When Inanna challenged the gatekeeper to gain entry into the kur, he consulted with Ereshkigal, telling her that a giant and powerful goddess, arrayed in splendor and with signs of authority, was waiting to enter Her realm.

Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forbearers. We subject all facts to a prefabricated
set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Very deep is the well of the past. Should we not call it bottomless? The deeper we sound, the
further down into the lower world of the past we probe and press, the more do we find that the
earliest foundations of humanity, its history and culture, reveal themselves unfathomably.

Sex and beauty are as inseparable as life and consciousness and the intelligence that arises from sex and beauty, as with life and
consciousness, is intuition.

Intuition is the very fount of consciousness from which springs: Science, Physics, Math, Medicine, Art, Literature, Myth and religion. Anyone who has ever spent time with a physicist will be impressed with how much they rely upon their intuition. The fundamentalist is just as preoccupied with his intuition and is obsessed with proven how right he is at every turn as though his god’s effectiveness depended on it. Indeed, it does. He will even subvert the truth in pursuit of his intuitive correctness.

The modern hero, the modern individual who dares to heed the call and seek the
mansion of that presence with whom it is our whole destiny to be atoned, cannot,
indeed, must not, wait for his community to cast off its slough of pride, fear, rationalized
avarice, and sanctified misunderstanding. “Live”, Nietzsche says, ‘ as though the day were here.’ It is not society that is to guide
the creative hero, but precisely the reverse.” Hero with a Thousand Faces

For surely it is folly to preach to children who will be riding rockets to the moon a morality and cosmology based on concepts of the Good Society and of man’s place in nature that were coined before the harnessing of the horse. And the world is far too small , and men’s stake in sanity too great, for any more of the old games of the Chosen Folk (whether of Jehovah, Allah, Wotan, Manu, or the Devil) by which tribesman were sustained against their enemies in the days when the serpent still could talk.

"Indeed, the great Leonardo remained like a child for the whole of his life in more than one way; It is said that all great men are bound to retain some infantile part. Even as an adult he continued to play, and this was another reason why he often appeared uncanny and incomprehensible to his contemporaries.
Sigmund Freud, 1910

Then Ereshkigal fastened on Inanna the eye of death. She spoke against her the word of wrath. She uttered against her the cry of guilt. She struck her.Inanna was turned into a corpse, A piece of rotting meat, And was hung from a hook on the wall. After three days, Ninshubur went to Enlil, God of Air, who refused to help, for the Underworld was not in His domain. Ninshubur went to Nanna, God of the Moon, who also refused to help, for he had no jurisdiction over the Underworld. Finally, Ninshubur went to Enki, God of Wisdom and Water, who originally blessed Inanna with the me of descent into and ascent from the kur. Enki was grieved and troubled. From under his fingernails he took dirt and created two creatures, neither male nor female, and gave them the food and water of life to carry to Inanna.These creatures snuck into the kur like flies, slipping through the cracks in the gates.

They entered the throne room and found Ereshkigal lying naked and unkempt, moaning "Oh! Oh! My inside!".Following Enki's instructions, they also moaned "Oh! Oh! Your inside!".Again she moaned "Ohhh! Oh! My outside!"To which the creatures replied "Ohhh! Oh! Your outside!"She continued to moan out her agony and they continued to name her pains back to her. Finally, she stopped moaning and blessed the creatures, offering them any gift they desired. They asked for Inanna's corpse, and revived her with the food and water of life. Inanna then arose and ascended to the upper world.
