Then I remember some strangeness with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, who were being chased by spaceschip helicopters. I had the vantage of being behind Arnold's as it dove and veered above a crystal blue sea... and then I was holding it (say the size of cake pan) and steering myself in orbit around the Earth. I directed myself to the nighttime side of the planet to take in the view of the stars and nebulae. I looked back toward the Earth and made out the lights of metropoli in SE Asia and Japan, and then the scene shifted... ... and I was being given more information (or narration) about the last Ice Age, and how it was caused by extraterrestial beings who were based in (or initiated this change from) present-day Egypt. There was a graphical interface at this point, and a number line that either indicated the year this began, or the depth to which the lands were covered by glaciers. At a point, I heard a collective dirge: "ANGER! ANGER!"* Some of the creatures of that era (?) (like giant coelacanths; bizarre, large (meters-long) amphibious creatures) were penned up in highly technological, transparent cells during this freeze and I saw the creatures that stood guard over them: octopus-like sentries that stood upright. There was more, about when they emerged from these cells in what were then lush, sunlit jungles, but it's spotty now and I want to get to what I connected this with when I awoke. One of the things that I thought of was the creation stories of the Dogon in southern Mali -- they link their ancestors/origin to beings called the Nommo, an amphibious species that visited Earth and imparted astronomical and philosophical knowledge. I thought to check a page (http://www.crystalinks.com/dogon.html) that I'd archived sometime ago and had never read all the way; I'd just browsed through some of the picture captions. So my eyebrows jumped when I read: "The cult of Lebe, the Earth God, is primarily concerned with the agricultural cycle and its chief priest is called a Hogon. According to Dogon beliefs, the god Lebe visits the hogons every night in the form of a serpent and licks their skins in order to purify them and infuse them with life force. The hogons are responsible for guarding the purity of the soil and therefore officiate at many agricultural ceremonies." Further along: "According to Dogon mythology, Nommo was the first living being created by Amma, the sky god and creator of the universe. He soon multiplied to become six pairs of twins. [This is a metaphor for our original 12-strand DNA. Our present physical DNA contains 2 strands which hold the genetic codes for our physical evolvement] :-o The Dogon say that their astronomical knowledge was given to them by the Nommo. The Dogon elder, Ogotemelli, describes them variously as having the upper part as a man and the lower portion as snake; or as having a ram's head with serpent body." I haven't read from The Cosmic Serpent in a week, but because I've gotten through Narby's correlations between DNA and its narrative and symbolist presence in Amazonian + Australasian creation myths... yowza! What's more, in relation to the specific (and pre-scientific) knowledge the Dogon had about the Sirius star system: "The Dogons have described perfectly the DNA pattern made by this elliptical orbit created by the two stars as they rotate make around each other. They believe Sirius to be the axis of the universe, and from it all matter and all souls are produced in a great spiral motion."  And just now, at the end of this page, I'm seeing all this information about amphibious gods, the Pyramids, forgotten feminine deities and principles... and it's like: I knew this was a potent dream when I woke up; so much so that I was reluctant to write this down. Did I mention that my father told me that we are descended from the Fula people, who also inhabited southern Mali? And that of all the images I could've used, I pulled up one of the coelacanth fractals to add to an ecorpse this morning? "You might not want the snake to bite, but once it bites it's alright." * This reminded me of the line I've uttered in my mind since I was a child: "Hell is a cold place." In the six-realm Buddhist cosmology, there are six aspects to the hell realm: three fiery, three frozen. Beings manifest in them as a result of anger. Ah, yes. Well, I tried to keep this short. |
