Ancient Semitic writings are full of word-plays that are easily misunderstood by modern (and even ancient) translators. When Moses asks Yahweh what he should tell the Israelites his (Yahweh's) name is, Yahweh gives an answer that was construed by scholars as "Eyah asher Eyah" ("I am that I am"), which doesn't make much sense. The answer from Yahweh, according to a source quoted by Farrell, should have been interpreted as "Eyah asher Ea" ("I am [he] that is Ea"), Ea being the eastern Semitic name for the Sumerian god Enki.
This interpretation ties up a whole lot of loose ends, not the least of which is Ra's assertion that Yahweh was a Service-to-Self entity. I'd urge all of you to read Farrell's book. He gets some things wrong (notably his explanation for the Great Pyramid at Giza), but his basic examination of Enlil, Enki, ancient advanced technology, and ancient interplanetary war, is a brilliant piece of forensic detective work, and a great read.
This is really interesting Eddie. That thought crossed my mind when I read LOO discussion on Yahweh. I had been taught by a fringe spiritual teacher that the Annunaki were responsible for the "System" that has caused all the oppression, suppression, and repression of our divine power. It was a very foreign concept to me because I am coming from a very strong Christian background. It was a struggle to understand, first of all who are the Annunaki and why haven't I heard of them before?
When I read the LOO it made more sense to me that Yahweh could be one of the Annunaki, instilling a belief of elitism "God's chosen people", that has endured through today in Judeo-Christian culture. This idea (though I felt good in an ego-sense as a Christian being "chosen" by God)...never made sense to me, in light of what Jesus taught. Just reading the old testament bothered me...with Yahweh instructing the Israelites to kill, conquer, and plunder their neighbors. It just was not the same God that Jesus taught us about.
Does anyone know...when Ra mentions "Anak"...are they the same as Annunaki? This confused me a bit also.
