MU, TWINFLAMES IN LIMIMU-UT TALE


MU, TWINFLAMES IN LIMIMU-UT TALE
Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra


This more wide-spread class assumes the existence of a sky-world or upper realm, and of a primeval sea below it in which or on which the world is made. We may begin with the out-line of a myth 'told in Minahassa which is a variant off the one just given. According to this form, in the beginning there were only the sea and a great rock which was washed by the waves, and which, after first giving birth to a crane, sweated, from the sweat being produced a female deity called Lumimu-ut. Advised by the crane of the existence of the "original land," she got from thence two handfuls of earth which she spread upon the rock, and so she created the world, on which she planted the seeds of all plants and trees, obtaining them from the same "original land." 10 Having thus made the earth, Lumimu-ut ascended a mountain, where the west wind blew upon her and made her fruitful. In due time she bore a son, and when he had grown to manhood his mother advised him to seek a wife, but though he sought far and wide, he could find none. So Lumirnu-ut gave him a staff, whose length was equal to her own stature, bidding him to seek for a woman who should be less tall than the staff, and telling him that when he should find such a person he would know that she was the one he was destined to marry. Mother and son then separated, one going to the right and one to the left, and travelled around the whole world until at last they met again, without recognizing each other, and lo! when he set the staff beside her, its length was greater than her stature, for without his knowledge the rod had increased in height. Believing, therefore, that the woman, who was indeed his own mother, was she of whom he had been told, he married her, and she bore him many children who became gods. This form of myth does not, indeed, directly refer to the sky-world, but speaks of the "original land" from which Lumimu-ut obtained earth and seeds for the construction of the world. It is interesting to compare the incident of the birth of Lumimu-ut from the rock, which alone broke the surface of the primeval sea, with the Tongan and Samoan 12 myths of the origin of the first beings and of the world from a stone which split open; and a similar idea also occurs in Melanesia. Perhaps more characteristic of this type of origin-myths are the legends of the Kayan, Kenyah, and Bahau of central Borneo. According to the Kayan, originally there was nothing but the primeval sea and over-arching sky; but from the heavens there fell into the sea a great rock, upon whose barren surface, in course of time, slime collected, from which were bred worms that bored into the rock. The sand produced by this boring collected, eventually covering the rock with soil, and after many years there fell from the sun upon this land the wooden handle of a sword which, taking root, grew into a great tree; while from the moon fell a vine which clung to the tree and rooted itself in the rock. From this mating of the tree and vine were born two beings, a boy and a girl, who wedded in their turn and became the ancestors of the Kayan 15 Another version 16 varies somewhat in its details. In the beginning a spider descended from the sky 17 and spun a web, into which fell a tiny stone that grew and grew until it filled all the space under the horizon. A lichen fell from heaven upon this rock, to which it adhered, and then came a worm, from whose excrement the first soil was formed. This covering of earth gradually spread over all the rock; and next there fell upon the ground so made a tree, which at first was tiny in size, but which took root and grew great. A crab now dropped down to the earth and with its claws dug and scratched in the ground, thus forming the mountains and valleys. Plants grew upon the earth, and a vine, winding itself about the tree, mated with it. Finally, two beings, one male and one female, descended from heaven upon the tree, the male dropping a sword-handle and the female a spindle. Mating, these objects bore a child which had only head and body, but no arms or legs; and this monster in its turn produced two children, a boy and girl, who united and gave birth to offspring, which from generation to generation became more and more human in form until finally they were wholly so. These and their descendants then became deities of various sorts."
REFLECTION

The ‘sea’ or astral plane (2nd plane, governed by water element) and ‘rock’ or physical plane (1st plane, governed by earth element), were shown to be ready for life-form evolution. The ‘crane’ has a double meaning: Desire, symbolized by the bird (also symbolic of the Phallus), and Father-God or One Universal Principle the creator of all life in the objective and subjective domains.

The coming of Limimu-ut times with the presence of the crane. The astral element is center of desire/feelings/emotion, which means then that the ‘crane’ was or Desire/astral body was pre-requisite for breeding humans in the 1st plane.

Limimu-ut can be further segregated to form the morphemes LI MI MU UT. By so doing, you can already see the term MU embedded in the revered lady deity. Limimu-ut signifies both the supercontinent of MU and the Lady deity who sponsored its making as preparatory to the breeding and growth of the peoples of Mu.

Mu/Limumu-ut breeding a son refers to the evolution of the asexual or hermaphroditic subraces of Mu. The son looking for a woman signifies the coming of the sexes, and the titillating notion of Twinflame soulmates coming to find each other in the newly sexed humans—of the mid-Lemurian ‘root-race’.
The equivalent myths in Borneo reveal the same, though with variant versions. Notice the archetypes given, which makes the narratives very amusing to observe and challenging to interpret. The descent of the rock from the sky in the Kayan myth, for instance, reveals the descent of the five (5) cosmic elements of ether, fire, air, water, and earth elements in that chronological order.

The notion of Twinflame mates is also very cleverly embedded in the anthropogenetic myths. Such a revelation is also found in the Philippine anthropogenesis tales such as the story of Malakas & Maganda, or Strong & Beauty, who emerged together from inside a piece of bamboo (bamboo signifies the DNA strands).

ANTHROPOGENESIS IN MINAHASSA MYTH


ANTHROPOGENESIS IN MINAHASSA MYTH

Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra

Although the existence of the earth is postulated in Minahassa, in the extreme north-east of Celebes, we find an origin given for some of the gods and for mankind.' In the beginning the wind blew over the sea, and raising great waves, drove upon the shore the spume which their beating caused, the mass of foam being in the shape of an egg. The sun shone upon this, and from it was born a boy, who grew miraculously. One day, as he wandered along the shore, he saw a girl sitting upon a rock from which she had just been born, and taking her to wife, he thus became the parent of mankind. This and the preceding type, in which the cosmogonic element was wholly lacking, are, however, not common in Indonesia, and it is only when we turn to the next category that we find one current over large areas.
REFLECTION

The narrative refers to the emergence or evolution of humans and related life-forms on Terra. The occult term for human evolution is anthropogenesis (see HP Blavatsky, Secret Doctrine, Vols. 1 & 2).

Wind is signifier for the Life-Force, without which life in the lower domains can’t be possible. The ‘wind blowing the sea’ points out to the water domain of the astral plane—signified by ‘sea’ or water element—as the first location for creating early humans.

The ‘mass of foam in the shape of an egg’ is signifies the etheric cum astral bodies of the first humans, rendering proto-Terrans as shadowy, etheric, blobs of Light in looks. Exactly what Divine Wisdom or Theos Sophia had revealed in anthropogenesis.

Pangean ‘root-races’, two in all, up through the mid-Lemurians, were asexual in borning Terrans. Early Lemurians were ‘sweat-born’ or ‘egg-born’, which is revealed by the signifier ‘egg’ in the narrative.

The man meeting the woman signifies the coming of the sexes, during the mid-Lemurian epoch. Mid-Lemurian means the 4th sub-race among 7 sub-races. This part of the narrative is equivalent to the coming of Eve, who was created from the ‘rib of Adam’, the ‘rib’ signifying the etheric ‘double’ of the early Adam Kadmon humans.

SIRIUS, GOLD CORD, ANTHROPEGENIS IN KEI ISLANDS’ CREATION MYTH


SIRIUS, GOLD CORD, ANTHROPEGENIS IN KEI ISLANDS’ CREATION MYTH

Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra

A more circumstantial myth is recorded from the Kei Islands in the extreme south-east of the Indonesian area. According to this tale, there were three brothers and two sisters in the upper sky-world. While fishing one day, Parpara, the youngest of the brothers, lost a fish-hook which he had borrowed from Hian, his oldest brother, who, angered by the loss of the hook, demanded that it be found and returned to him. After much fruitless search, the culprit met a fish who asked him what his trouble was, and who, on learning the facts, promised to aid in the search, at length discovering another fish who was very ill because of something stuck in its throat. The object proved to be the long-lost hook, which the friendly fish delivered to Parpara, who thus was able to, restore it to its owner. Parpara, however, determined to have his revenge upon his brother, and so he secretly fastened a bamboo vessel full of palm liquor above Hian's bed in such a way that when the latter rose, he would be almost certain to upset it. The expected happened, and Parpara then demanded of his brother that he return to him the spilled liquor. Hian endeavoured, of course fruitlessly, to gather it up, and in his efforts dug so deeply into the ground that he made an opening clear through the sky-world. Wondering what might lie below, the brothers determined to tie one of their dogs to a long rope and lower him through the aperture; and when they had done this, and the dog had been drawn up again, they found white sand sticking to his feet, whereupon they resolved to go down themselves, although the other inhabitants of the heaven-world refused to accompany them thither. Sliding down the rope, the three brothers and one of the sisters, together with their four dogs, safely reached the world which lay below, and which was thus discovered for the first time. As the second sister was descending, however, one of the brothers chanced to look up, at which his sister was so ashamed that she shook the rope and was hauled up by the other sky-people. In this way the three brothers with their sister were the first occupants of the world and became the ancestors of the human race.
REFLECTION

The Sky-world is signifier for the spiritual dimensions. This narrative reveals the preparations made in the said dimensions to check out on the new planet Terra at the edge of the Milky Way that seemed ready to support life.

3 Brothers and 2 Sisters refer to beings in the spiritual domains, notably creator beings, who could have been ready to check out on new planet. ‘Sliding down the rope’ reveals the ‘rope’ as the gold cord of the higher beings, which they can extend during their probes on Terra (traveling while probing signified by ‘sliding down’).

The Dog is often than not signifier for Sirius. Broadly, it signifies evolved species from higher dimensions, who are well immersed in higher Light which equates to their loyalty or undying devotion to the Supreme Being. Such ‘dogs’ were thus trusted enough to begin probes and aid the creator beings in experimenting on breeding early humans at the beginning of the 4th Evolutionary Round.

4 Dogs going under signifies 1 ‘dog’ for each of the four (4) ‘root-races’ –the 2 Pangean races, the Lemurian, and Atlantean—as products of the creative works of the early pitris or fathers. Polynesians are remnants of the 3rd race (Lemurians), while Malays and IndoMongolians were of the 4th root race (Atlantean).

The liquor mentioned is referent for the domain of the fire element—the 4th plane. That’s the causal or ‘higher mental’ plane, the higher of the two planes of Devachan or heaven-worlds. Just one notch lower than the 5th plane, the lowest of three (3) spiritual planes.

SANAT KUMARA, 7 DIMENSIONS, EARTH & EARLY RACES IN CELEBES MYTHS


SANAT KUMARA, 7 DIMENSIONS, EARTH & EARLY RACES IN CELEBES MYTHS

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

Some of the tribes in Celebes are also characterized by the absence of any myths referring to the creation of the world or of the gods, though they are unlike the type to which reference has just been made in that they have tales which account for the origin of mankind. The Bugi and the people of Makassar in the south-western part of the island state that in the beginning the son of the sky-deity was sent down to earth on the rainbow that he might organize and prepare the world for mankind. This task accomplished, he took to wife six female deities, three of whom had descended with him from the sky-world, and three of whom were derived from the earth or from the underworld, and thus he became the ancestor of all mankind.
REFLECTION

Sky-deity refers to the Supreme Being, the One Universal Principle, or Almighty Providence, from whose Being emanated all life forms in the cosmos.

The ‘son of the sky-deity’ is no other than the creator deities, who were all fathered by the Supreme Being and achieved perfection in previous Manvantaras yet, referred collectively in the singular ‘son’. The ascended beings also go by that collective term, even as we who are in the lower dimensions must one day fulfill our ‘sonship’.

‘Sent down to earth on a rainbow’ refers to the descent of Light beings across the 7 Dimensions or planes. The rainbow has 7 spectra of colors, each one thus representing a dimension or plane. From the monadic (7th plane), down to the Buddhic (6th plane), then down to the nirvanic (5th plane), then down to the causal (4th plane), then down to the mental (3rd plane), then down to the astral (2nd plane), and finally down to the physical-etheric (1st plane).

‘He took to wife six female deities’ signifies the involvement of six planetary logoi added to main logos of Terra—Ancient of Days—to comprise 7 male deities, each one of whom had a female Twinflame deity. Ancient of Days arrived on Earth with 6 other logoi, and they came en-route from Venus prior to descent to Earth.

‘Three of whom had descended with him from the sky-world’ signifies the descent to the Etheric plane by Sanat Kumara and three (3) other planetary logoi, as the three (3) others returned to Venus. Lady Venus, by the way, is the Twinflame of Sanat Kumara, and is rightfully our Mother.

UNIVERSE’S ORIGIN: NIAS MYTH (POLYNESIAN)


UNIVERSE’S ORIGIN: NIAS MYTH (POLYNESIAN)

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

In the Polynesian area one of the most characteristic and interesting types of cosmogonic myths was that which explained the origin of the universe as due to a sort of evolutionary development from an original chaos or nothingness; and, at least in central Polynesia, this assumed a genealogical form. This evolutionary genealogical type of origin-myths seems, so far as available material goes, to be lacking in Indonesia, except in one very restricted region, the island of Nias, lying off the western coast of Sumatra. According to myths from this island, there was in the beginning only darkness and fog, which condensed and brought forth a being with-out speech or motion, without head, arms, or legs; and in its turn this being gave existence to another, who died, and from whose heart sprang a tree which bore three sets of three buds. From the first two sets six beings were produced, two of whom made from the third set of buds a man and a woman—the ancestors of mankind. The several variants of the myth differ in details, but all agree in tracing the origin of things to a primeval chaos, from which after several generations was developed a tree that in turn gave rise to gods and men. Although lacking the details and development found in Polynesia, these Nias myths seem to show the same fundamental conception.
REFLECTION

The Polynesian cosmogonic myth suggests first of all the notion of a forward movement, not necessarily linear though genealogical in model.

The reality of the void at the beginning of the Manvantara—great cycle of life—is revealed. A formless Supreme Being, the One Universal Principle is outrightly indicated. Not only that, there is also the notion of the pre-human forms, in higher dimension, as being one “without head, arms or legs”—meaning, they were of spiritual and etheric constitution.

Those higher dimension beings, upon their descent to the lower spheres, of high compassion mode (“whose heart sprang a tree”), were the precursors to the etheric form of Pangean races. From the Pangean to the Lemurian, from the asexually birthing to the sexually birthing humans, three ‘root races’ have come to pass as Divine Wisdom or Theos Sophia revealed.
The number 3 is of course the Upper Triune that was embedded in the Polynesian collective mind and genes. A legacy of ancient Mu whose direct remnants were indeed the Polynesians.

SKY, WIND, SEA, EARTH: COSMOS UNVEILED IN ASEAN FOLKLORE


SKY, WIND, SEA, EARTH: COSMOS UNVEILED IN ASEAN FOLKLORE

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

In my succeeding notes I will delve on the matter of cosmogony as contained in ASEAN myths, which is a synthesis of the objective world of cosmos and the subjective worlds of sentient beings. Before I proceed to those note presentations, let me articulate briefly the archetypal images in the cosmogony.

Essentially, three (3) archetypal images are observed across the diverse ethnicities and cultures: sky, sea, earth. The complexity of the cosmos and subjective worlds was attempted to be encapsulated in these archetypal images. Betwixt sky, sea, earth is the intermediary archetype of wind, the flowing or convection of which sort of meshes up the former 3. So that’s a 3 + 1 sort of formula all in all.

Do note that the ancient peoples of the region went through a long dormancy of high knowledge and high culture in the aftermath of the sinking of Poseidonis which triggered global submarine explosions that, in turn, ended the last Ice Age. The melting waters from glaciers, poles, and related glacial formations caused a Deluge and obliterated knowledge and epistemes (knowledge-building modes) of the ancients.

The knowledge, truths and wisdom were to survive through oral modalities of conservation and heritage, out of which evolved the folklore: myths, legends, puzzles, idioms, related forms. Divine wisdom flowed openly to the ancient peoples, but after the Deluge just the few Initiated Ones, notably the shamanic-priestly caste, obtained access to high wisdom.

Out of such preserved embeds of wisdom came the archetypes of sky, sea, earth. The embedded codes are surely tough nuts to crack, but let us try to decode those tough stuff just the same.

Divine wisdom reveals that both the objective and subjective domains of reality were emanations from the One Universal Principle or Supreme Deity, done upon the Out-breath phase of the Manvantara or great cycle of life. From out of that process evolved the 7th, 6th and 5th planes, which constitute the spiritual planes. Such ontological domains would roughly be the equivalent of the ‘sky’ archetype in ASEAN cosmogony.

From the spiritual dimensions the cosmic element of ether was to descend downwards, to aid in the formation of all the other elements. The possibility for emanating objective, material domains was then increased, thus creating the 4th, 3rd and 2nd planes. Altogether, the 4th and 3rd planes are the equivalent of the ‘wind’ archetype, while the 2nd plane corresponds to the ‘sea’ archetype.

The final, most dense form of domain, the physical or 1st plane, was the last. The ‘earth’ archetype corresponds to this domain. In the last instance, humans, plants, animals were created in this domain, which is what the ancient Malayans-IndoMongolians-Polynesians can make sense of the creation narrative. The ‘earth’ domain was an extrapolation from their solid existential context, so we will understand how they comprehend cosmogony during their own times as struggling post-Glacial peoples.

As always, the creator deities, led by the Supreme Deity, come from the ‘sky’. That is the closest that the ancients came to the real, the truth, the knowledge. For indeed Deities were of the 7th plane which is the dimension of deities and/or avatars. Such deities & avatars can always descend down the 5th plane, which is the dimension of the souls.

With this backgrounder, maybe we are ready to move on to the review of diverse cosmogonic/creation myths.

COSMIC, DEVIC & TRINITARIAN GODS: PHILIPPINE MYTHOS


COSMIC, DEVIC & TRINITARIAN GODS: PHILIPPINE MYTHOS

Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra

Among ancient Filipinos, a branch of the Malayo-Mu peoples, is the belief in the Supreme Being. The Tagalogs held the belief in Bathala, the Supreme Deity who was also King of the Diwatas. Diwata comes from the Sanskrit devata, meaning deva. The belief in Bathala however goes beyond the Tagalogs, as it goes all the way southwards to the Visayas and Java.

The Trinitarian or 3-aspect deity is traced to Vedic knowledge of the spiritual domains. Vedic knowledge however is traceable to an even earlier set of spiritual discourse, the Lemurian. All such discourses are embedded calcifications of Divine Wisdom, and it takes the sharp eyes of Initiates to extract such wisdom from the later versions (Vedic to Malayan folklore).

The Number 3 is the Upper Triune in the Septenary Law, while the Number 4 is the Lower Quaternary of 4 material domains and elements. There are 3 spiritual planes, a knowledge that would come down unto mankind as 3 aspects of Supreme Deity. In the West that Triune is Father, Son, Spirit/Shekinah (Mother). Among ancient Bharatans (Indians) the Triune comes as Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva.

In the Philippine-Malayan version, Bathala birthed Apolaki, Mayari, and Tala. The mythos of Bathala and the Apolaki-Mayari-Tala triune already contains the cosmogony of divinity and humanity, with implications to cosmology or knowledge of the cosmos.

Below is a summary of the mythos.

[Philippines, 17 June 2011]

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathala

Bathala

According to Philippine mythology, Bathalang Maykapal, or Bathala, was the Supreme God of the ancient Tagalog and King of the Diwatas. Derived from the Javanese Batara Guru, an alternate name for the Hindu god Shiva, the concept of Bathala, as with many beliefs in pre-Hispanic Philippines, owe a huge debt to the Hinduism of the Srivijayan Javanese. All of these beliefs were soon changed after the Spaniards set foot on the islands. Spanish missionaries used Bathala as a way for them to convert the Tagalogs into Christianity by associating him with the Christian God. They also did this to the other deities by replacing them with saints. Since then, the name "Bathala" was used to refer to the Christian God and is still used by Filipinos today, and God is even addressed as "Poong (Panginoon, meaning "Lord") Maykapal".
Bathala has counterparts in other parts of the Philippines. In Northern Luzon, Kabunian and Lumawig; in Southern Luzon, Gugurang and Mangindusa; and in the Visayas, Abba, Kan-Laon, and Kaptan.

Apolaki, Mayari, and Tala

Legend has it that Bathala fell in love with a mortal woman when he was visiting the Earth. They got married and had three children: Apolaki, Mayari, and Tala.
Many years had passed and the three younglings grew up to become mighty demigods. The time has finally come for them to take their rightful place in Kalualhatian. There was a big feast in the Sky World and both gods and humans were celebrating. After the feast was done, the ceremony of initiation began. Bathala came out of the crowd and summoned his children to stand in front of him. He then appointed them with a task.
Apolaki was appointed "God of War" and "Guardian of the Sun". Mayari was appointed to be "Goddess of the Moon". Tala was appointed "Goddess of the Stars".
The three offspring of Bathala soon became known to be among the greatest of gods and goddesses.
The Story of Bathala
In the beginning of time there were three powerful gods who lived in the universe. Bathala was the caretaker of the earth, Ulilang Kaluluwa, a huge serpent who lived in the clouds, and Galang Kaluluwa, the winged god who loves to wander. These three gods did not know each other. Bathala often dreamt of creating mortals but the empty earth stops him from doing so. Ulilang Kaluluwa who was equally lonely as Bathala, liked to visit places and the earth was his favorite. One day the two gods met. Ulilang Kaluluwa was not pleased. He challenged Bathala to a fight to decide who would be the ruler of the universe. After three days and three nights, Ulilang Kaluluwa was slain by Bathala. Instead of giving him a proper burial, Bathala burned the snake's remains. A few years later the third god, Galang Kaluluwa, wandered into Bathala's home. He welcomed the winged god with much kindness and even invited him to live in his kingdom. They became true friends and were very happy for many years.
Galang Kaluluwa became very ill. Before he died he instructed Bathala to bury him on the spot where Ulilang Kaluluwa’s body was burned. Bathala did exactly as he was told. Out of the grave of the two dead gods grew a tall tree with a big round nut, which is the coconut tree. Bathala took the nut and husked it. He noticed that the inner skin was hard. The nut itself reminded him of Galang Kaluluwa’s head. It had two eyes, a flat nose, and a round mouth. Its leaves looked so much like the wings of his dear winged friend. But the trunk was hard and ugly, like the body of his enemy, the snake Ulilang Kaluluwa.
Bathala realized that he was ready to create the creatures he wanted with him on earth. He created the vegetation, animals, and the first man and woman. Bathala built a house for them out of the trunk and leaves of the coconut trees. For food, they drank the coconut juice and ate its delicious white meat. Its leaves, they discovered, were great for making mats, hats, and brooms. Its fiber could be used for rope and many other things.

In popular culture / Language

The Filipino philosophical expression "Bahala na!" is usually interpreted as a fatalist remark, comparable to "Whatever will be, will be".[1] According to Paraluman S. Aspillera, a writer from the Philippines, the expression and its meaning might have been altered throughout the ages. It might have originally been "Bathala na!" ("As God wills it!"),[2] but was changed at one point in time. It might also be uttered when the Filipino has exhausted all possible ways to get out of a difficult situation.[3] A modern fuller version of the phrase is "Bahala na ang Diyos!"
Also, the Tagalog word pamahalaan (government) can be traced from the word Bathala. According to linguistic studies, the word is a result of the full assimilation of the prefix pang- with bathala and the suffix -an. So, the Tagalog term for government actually means "to Lord over" or "to be God's vicar."
