You see, so many of the figures of myth and cultural tradition, are known to ordinary people only by their titles and not their actual names.
'Hermes' is a title, which means he who brings a beautiful message. And yes, it does have some punning characteristics to do with rocks and stones but most of these titles all do as well (have dual meanings).
In the Russian this name - well, title - is Uri, which is Evri in ancient Greek.
You are well-versed in the modern pop myth of Atlantis. This city-state was established by the sons and daughters of the Titan, Atlas.
The 'lost' city of Prometheus, God who brought fire from Heaven to Men in burning embers hidden inside a fennel stalk. |
Now Atlas, in theory a Titan, had a brother who was somehow not a Titan but some other thing, only vaguely explained in any early writings. And this brother was called 'Prometheus;' but that is a title...
Prometheus created, with something called the Eudaemon Spirit, Man, and then, on command of Zeus, a troublesome counter-entity, aka Pandora. There is no implication in ancient classical Greek myth, that Man and Woman were created either equal or good. In fact, Mankind on the whole is wicked and Woman was made to destroy Him.
But then you've got to understand that in these accounts there is a huge difference between 'Male' and 'Female' and Man and Woman.
Man means humankind.
Up until the destruction by the Muslims, of the Great Library of Alexandria, there was a compilation of all the actual names of the Titans and the gods. This book has been sealed up until the time of the end - of humankind. Humankind cannot survive what has befallen the world.
There are claims that some pages from one of the compilations of a dictionary of ancient Greek words, by Hesychius of Alexandria, does contain the actual name of Prometheus, but it only contains possibilities for what it might have be written down as, based on what cult groups sounded it out as being.
'Enterprise system personal transport.' |
Prometheus carried out the role of courier between the gods and the Titans in the Titanomachy - and it is from this role, that people say he was not ever a Titan as such, having on the one hand been the grandson of the first God Ouranos and his consort Gaia, and literally therefore being the nephew of Zeus, the then king of the gods.
'God' and 'god' have two distinct implied meanings in the ancient Greek tradition - one means the sentient and Supreme, Eternal 'Spirit'-like (was more than some invisible thing, but literally was the discrete force and the power over something particular) existential being at the head of a category of thing; whereas the other meant the existential absolute ruler over some boundary-defined place or people or things.
What makes all of this important for you, is that whereas the gods can have an interest in some humans at various times, only the actual creator of humans cares about them for all time.
Which is why when you pray to 'god,' your prayers are not answered.
The temples where the real Gods really are, and to know them by their actual names, and see them in their real forms. |
Unless you know what the name and the characteristics are, of the sentient being/s you are trying to interact with - who have the kind of power you seek - then you will be addressing an 'unknown god.'
Nevertheless, even that is good enough in the sense of that the Turkey ruling elite just discovered that if you offend even the 'unknown god' formally, you will find out just what consequences will necessarily ensue.
All the greater then, if you consort with that being as known.
...Moving then, to Prometheus, the Creator of Man:
Never will the Creator of Man destroy you. Never will He destroy His messengers.
'Jibreel' is not a messenger of Prometheus, because Prometheus, being Himself a messenger and a deliverer of, and one who manifests, things from the abode of the Eternal Heavens, will not be so Un-Just as to betray the Divine Aspect Himself by killing His own messenger.
You do not know the name of Prometheus.
And therein lies your quandary, and the source of all your struggles and your problems - for you are, as it were, an orphan in the Universe of the Eternal Beings.
Were you to go to the real temple of the Gods, and see them as they really are, and know them by their true names -, you will find Life, and all good things.
