How the Earth Mother and Queen fell in love with the Skyfather and King

RETELLINGS by Lishtar

https://earth-history.com/

At the heart of Ancient Mesopotamian religion, there was the Sacred Marriage of Heaven and Earth, the wondrous coming together of matching polarities to engender a new whole. This was probably how this time-honored ritual came into being for the first time. For Lillith of Lusitânia

Before All Befores, there was Nammu (King Anu’s concubine & mother to many royals), the Sea,

She the Origin, Ever flowing Beginning.

              (Nammu statues from Mesopotamia)

Nammu was the First, the Source, the Mother of the Universe, the Self-Procreating Womb of Abundance,

Alone and All-In-One, Nammu was Primal Matter, the Deep Fertile Waters of the Sea.

Before All Befores (for time was yet to be),

              (DNA symbol of earthling double helix spiral)

Nammu revolved and flowed, squeezed, coiled and rushed like a double helix spiral.

Love she made for the first time to HerSelf, and she in Pure Joy reveled.

Nammu’s waters then opened up: she had given birth to Ki-An,

Creation’s first born, She the Mountain, He the Sky.

 

Before all Befores, wrapped around the liquid Body of the Mother,

Ki the Mountain, An the Sky held each other close in a most tender embrace.

Ki the Mountain, An the Sky lay in each other’s arms before all befores,

             (Anu the Sky in his winged sky-disc with sons Enlil & Enki)

when An was an empty Sky, Ki a stony earth, laying barren and unfulfilled

within Nammu’s fecund body fluid (Nammu is mother to Enki, Bau, Martu, sometimes Ereshkigal, etc.).

As Ki and An lay closer and closer still, something stirred, deep from within.

 

Love that bound An and Ki together brought into being a Sigh,

    (Lord Air Enlil, King Anu‘s son & heir)

a Wind, a First Breath, and so was Enlil, Infant Lord Air (Enlil), manifested.

Thus, life throbbed in Cheerful Continuation, as An, the Mighty Bull of Heaven,

made love fifty times (and more!) to Ki, his Beloved, the All-Powerful Cow of Earth.

 

Ki (Anu’s official spouse Antu, mother to double-seed son Enlil) responded to An’s enthusiasm and passion in kind.

She made herself resplendent, for her brother-spouse she beautified joyously her body with the most precious metals,

fuels and lapis lazuli, she adorned herself with diorite, chalcedony and shiny carnelian.

 

  (Anunnaki King, Skyfather An / Anu in his winged sky-disc, Nannar too)

So did the Skyfather An (Anu) array himself in a cloak of the purest azure

to greet his dearest sister-spouse Ki (sometimes Ninhursag, sometimes Antu).

Then in great joy and reverence An, who called himself then Heaven approached Ki, whom he called Earth.

An–Heaven dived into Ki’s welcoming expanse.

Then Sky kissed Ki, pouring the semen of Trees,

Reeds and pastures into the beloved’s womb.

Ki, fecund, brave, sweet Earth, was impregnated with the rich semen of Heaven,

and joyfully gave birth to the plants of life.

 

Luxuriantly did Earth bear the rich produce, generously did she exude wine and honey.

Gleefully, she invited the Skies into herself over and over again.

Fifty times (and more!), Sky came into the Earth.

Fifty times (and more!), An’s seed met Ki’s; fifty times (and more!), An’s seed grew in Ki’s;

fifty times (and more!), An and Ki made love, and so the Anunnaki,

the first Generation of Gods (Anu‘s descendants only), in Ki’s womb was formed, as yet unnamed, waiting to be born.

Only Enlil (born of the “double-seed” law of succession to King Anu’s crown),

first of the Anunnaki (the second son to Anu, eldest son is Enki – born of Anu’s favorite concubine Nammu),

Infant Lord Air (Enlil) was there within An’s and Ki’s (Antu’s) lap, all surrounded by Nammu’s Depths.

 

Nammu feels and sees everything.

She must now create space for her offspring.

Under Ki, surrounding Enlil, above An, Nammu arches and stretches,

her Watery Form to further Depths she directs.

Nammu defines HerSelf as the First Ocean, cradle of other life forms to come.

‘Mine are the Depths reaching out to the Surface’, decrees the Fates Nammu,

‘mine is the Process of Becoming out of Nothing’s embrace.

mine is the Nurturing Womb, Life’s first Mystery, mine is the Silence that all Life Created.’

 

Enlil, who was An’s Divine Inspiration and Ki’s First Sigh of Exultation,

the first of the Great Gods to be born, struggled to grow.

Then, a Movement, Energy and Direction.

  (Enlil, King Anu‘s Earth Colony Commander)

It was Enlil seeking Expansion.

He grows stronger still, eager for his Destiny to fulfill.

Out of his parents’ embrace he wants to escape off to unconquered Spaces.

Growth out of the protective Nest, all by himself, this is Enlil’s first Quest.

Thus he summons his Might from within, and manifests without as a Great Wind.

Focused, Penetrating, Directed, Enlil’s might cuts through An’s and Ki’s embrace,

on through the fluid body of Mother Nammu.

 

A roar, a Bang is then heard, and so are the Bull of Heaven and Cow of Earth once and for all separated.

What primal Oneness once was becomes Multiplicity.

This was the beginning of Evolution, the never-ending Adventure of Being

that transcends in Search for Wholeness and Fruition.

 

Nammu sees the changes that take place, and once again the All-Powerful Mother decrees the fate of Her firstborns:

  (Anu in his winged sky-disc, king of the Anunnaki giants on Earth)

‘An, Beloved Son, from now on you will be ever Above. the Sphere of the Heights will be yours to protect

Let it be called Upper-world (Nibiru), whereupon the Lights of the Spirit will thread.

Knowledge, Inspiration, Dreams and Visions will be yours to share.

Ki, Dearest Daughter, you will lay on my surface, for I need to feel your presence, your embrace.

Let your abode be called Middleworld (Earth),

Sphere of Form and Substance, mundane reality and physical home of everything that lives and grows.

And to give sustenance to That Which is Above, in the Middle and Below, let another realm be found.

I’ll call it Underworld, source of Memory of what was, is and will be,

land of Challenge, realm that will go beyond my very Depths,

Inner Essence that gives Form and Spirit sustenance.

 

   

          (alien giant gods with very long beards, Anu & his descendants wear royal crowns of animal horns)

Meanwhile, Young Enlil, will dance and stretch, his Formless Power is the Universe’s First Breath.

So will My Seed be in everything there Is to Be as the Inner Power to Grow

and Transform in Multiple combinations of all Sorts.’

Ki, looking up to the Skies, to An, her Brother Spouse, longed for his closeness and touch.

Bits of herself to the Skies reach out, searching for An, dancing all round, up, down and round they fly.

Ki contemplated this mystery and revealed its Meaning: ‘An, beloved, Soul of my Body,

bound as One we can no longer be, but the Intangible that united us still exists.

 

By the Primeval Unity we once were, may all hear what I now declare:

That which is Below will ever be linked to that which is Above here and there I dare to fare!’

From Above, An looked down at his sister-spouse Ki (Antu), longing for her closeness and kiss.

‘Ki, Beloved, Body of My Soul, bound as One we can no longer be, but the Intangible that united us still exists.

 

So from the Highest Place I’ll watch over you, My Love.

I claim then as mine the Heavens, the Supreme Heights Above

And by the Primeval Unity we once were, may all hear what I now declare:

that Which is Above will be ever united to that Which is Below.

And to remind the Universe of this Great Truth, the horned crown upon the shrine I take as symbols of mine.

May the Universe never forget that the Bull of Heaven and Cow of Earth are one everywhere I dare to fare.’

 

Enlil contemplates the changes taking place.

Out of An’s and Ki’s nest, all by himself, the Primal Mover of the Universe feels bereft.

He then utters a Statement of Regret and a Request

‘Alone, all alone, I cannot be, so I ask you,

Mother, please stay with me! I need your touch and Company.

I vow from now on to guard you and protect you everywhere I go, your safety more important than my own.

So I ask to take Ki, the Earth, my Mother with me, and together we will build Ways to Eternity.

I’ll be Breath, you’ll be Form.

Please, dearest Mother, come right along and let’s the Universe transform!’

 

In the Heights Above, An wept, his tears Nammu’s waters met.

In the vastness of Nammu’s nurturing Depths, the Skyfather surrenders to a heartfelt sorrow for Ki,

longing for her lost love and kiss.

Nammu accepts the bittersweet tears of her firstborn, and he loses himself in her, accepting her tenderness and love.

 

Mother and Son, An and Nammu, meet and make sweet love, and from the mingling of their bodies a boy and a girl,

(Enki; Ereshkigal, alien giant descendants of King Anu)

Divine Twins (to Nammu) are born.

‘Enki and Ereshkigal (Ninhursag is Enki‘s twin), you I call,’ says Nammu. ‘

May the Wisdom of the Depths to you belong!

As high as An rests Above, as Deep as my Waters go below, so will you two go: as Within so Without.

Inner Beauty is your Quest, revealed for all to know!’

(BEFORE ALL BEFORES II)

How the Great God/desses and Cosmic Powers came into being

A retelling on the birth of the Great Gods and Goddesses, and the Dark Guardians, the ones who are sometimes our best teachers, if we can see and act beyond their trials

(Texts: All Artifacts, Color Coding, & Writings in Bold Type With Italics Inside Parenthesis, are Added by Editor R. Brown, not the Authors, Translators, or Publishers!)

(gods in blue)

Ki, the Great Cosmic Mound, hardly had time to cry for the loss of Anu, the Skyfather,

her Beloved and Soul Counterpart, for something extremely important was about to happen:

‘Soon, very soon, I know, the time will come, the sacred time of Birth’,

said the Great Goddess, ‘then I will give birth to the Divine Babies,

the Great Gods and Goddess, sons and daughters of mine and Anu, offspring of our great love.

 

  (alien Anunnaki King Anu in his winged sky-disc)

Ah, Anu, from the Great Above wherever you are, my love, watch over me

and those who will grow up to adore you in the Depths Below!’

To her surprise, deep with tenderness and love the voice of the Skyfather sounded loud and true:

‘Body of my Soul, Womb to my Seed, wherever you or my children go in all worlds,

look up skywards and I will be there watching over you.

By my word, by my very being, I bind myself to you from all Heights I trail upon!’

 

Delighted, Ki blew a kiss to the skies, and took action.

To welcome the gods and goddesses to be

She needed a place, a most special place: safe, sacred, pure and sound around herself.

‘I wish a birth rut, a holy hill, and sacred mound, whereupon the Anunnaki, my very seed and Anu‘s,

the first gods and goddesses, your brothers and sisters, Enlil, will be first found.

 

I’ll call this place Duku, creation chamber of the world, place of the truest judgments, Integrity and Discernment.

Thus, once and for all I reaffirm the Bond Between Heaven and Earth,

 (Enlil’s temple / residence in Nippur–Earth Colony Command Center, top added by American archaeologists around 1900)

the Holy Duranki between the Great Below and the Depths Above.

And as I will, so be it!’

Enlil promptly gathered all stones his hands and eyes found.

Ki plastered them her belly round, thus newly created shapes appeared on the ground.

Ki, Lady Fashioner, panted and squeezed until her babies, seed of An and her own, came tumbling without.

(Ninhursag, Chief Medical Scientist of the Anunnaki on Earth Colony)

Ki, Aruru (Ninhursag), Foetus Loosener, Urash (Ninhursag),

felt them moving unto her holy lap and contentedly smiled at last:

Ki panted and squeezed until her babies, without any labor or pain,

the holy seeds of An and her own, came tumbling without.

She felt them moving unto her holy lap, and a boundless sense of wonder and joy filled her inside out:

‘I’ve given birth to the Powers that will shape the Land,

I’ve given birth to the Guardians that will protect the Land!

I’ve given birth, I’ve given birth to those who will ensoul the land!

May this day will be forever praised, may this hour for Eternity remembered, for out of my womb,

out of the holy Mound the Anunnaki, the first gods and goddesses of the land have sprouted!’

 

An contemplated the Mystery that took place and from the Heights Above

the Skyfather’s Words could be heard in all spaces: ‘Ki, Beloved Body of my Soul, Sister without peer,

Heart’s Desire and Spouse so dear, many Names will be given to you.

But for me you will forever be Ninhursag,

Queen of the Holy Hill, dearest Ninmah, Most Exalted Lady,

Queen and Best Companion along the Heights I trail You will be remembered,

Beloved, as Nintur, Lady Birth Hut, and nothing or no one will quite compare to you!

(Ninhursag seated on her throne in her ziggurat in Kish)

Urash, Birth Giver, most sacred Aruru (Ninhursag) everlasting praises will be sung from now on to you!

Lady of Mound, where Life sprouts happy and free.

Body of my Soul, sister without peer,

Heart’s Desire and Spouse so dear, mine is the Voice but for all I sing,

Mother of all Life, Lady of my heart, Beloved and Queen!’

This was how the Great Gods and Goddesses of the Land between the Two Rivers came into being.

 

This was how the Children of Earth and Sky became known in all worlds,

this was how they started to grow in Diversity to reveal the treasures of the Earth and greatness of the Heights.

Most of the children of An and Ninhursag-Ki were beautiful and perfect, the truest expression of a of great love.

Nevertheless, a deep, earlier anguish had left its mark on some.

These babies were the ones scarred in Ki’s womb

by the terrible moment of loss and agony when An was torn from Ki.

They therefore grew in pain and loss, thus bringing ambivalent benedictions without.

Their experience of Primal Oneness and Joy was too short,

for what nurtured them was Ki’s and An’s pain, loneliness and loss.

 

Within the Mother, they felt Pain and Repression, the Opposite of the Stuff Life is made of.

Dark Guardians this is how we will know them from now on,

the Challengers and Toughest Teachers one may find as one goes along.

Theirs will be the Unbalanced Energies eternally fighting Balance everywhere they go.

‘Children of our pain, Dark Guardians of Existence, the most difficult Teachers one may come across,

this is how I feel you will become,’ declared Ninhursag-Ki to Anu

when she saw the scarred little ones come out crying out and screaming out of her sacred womb.

‘Theirs will be the Uneven Energies, eternally fighting Balance wherever they go.

But I, who gave birth to you out of my womb,

I who was the first together with your father, declare a hope to such hard destiny.

 

For the Daring, mastery will be granted over Chaos but only for those who will be able to see beyond pain,

suffering and loss to retrieve the light that was the primeval union of mine with Anu, my first love’.

From his post as a Watcher over Mother Earth, faithful to his promise to keep Her safe, and sound,

young Enlil was stunned by what he saw: ugly, misshapen dark little brothers and sisters

leaving the protection of the Birth Mound, crying out loud.

(Ninhursag, Anu & others in flying disc above, & Enlil)

Disturbed beyond measure, Enlil turned to Ki, also known as Ninhursag,

Exalted Lady and the Skyfather’s Soul Counterpart.

 

‘Mother, are you alright?

Ninhursag-Ki’s eyes reflected immense sadness: ‘I am terribly sad, but can handle it, Enlil.’

‘Mother, what is going on?

What ails my new brothers and sisters?

Why are they so different?

Are they my real brothers and sisters too?’

 

Ninhursag-Ki sighed deeply:

‘Yes, Enlil, these are your brothers and sisters too, but let them be and follow their own destinies.

Learn to see beyond appearances, my firstborn, to reach out for the True Essency, learn to reach out

to the Source where yourself came from, the Union of all Opposites, The Holy Complementarity that was lost.

Indirectly, Enlil, it was your fault the suffering of these little ones, when you caused the Separation of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, I demand you to let the Dark Guardians be.

Theirs will be another Quest, much harder, I’m afraid so’.

 

 (Apkula / winged eagle-headed pilot, Enki, Anu in his sky-disc, Enlil, & another pilot)

A shadow of guilt and regret covered the face of the young Lord Air:

”If I am at the root of all their suffering,

I vow by my Gifts of Mind, Thoughts and Never-ending Inspiration to try and understand them

to heal what needs to be healed, to make whole what was once broken.

Mother, this is such a brave new world, we cannot do it all alone!

I long for the company of my brothers and sisters to ensoul the world, make be and grow!’

 

Because Words of Creation have been forming in Enlil’s mind,

and they will take shape in each and every little god and goddess that come out of the Duku.

These brother and sisters, gods and goddesses-to-be, like himself are the true offspring of Ki and An.

They will continue the Work of Creation started up by Mother Nammu.

But Enlil is uncertain about the Dark Ones.

His bright, inquisitive Mind cannot accept the Unknown, the Bizarre, and this is what the dark guardians are.

 

“I still don’t understand what is Chaos or Darkness in its complicated patterns”,

thought endlessly Enlil,”but of order, the power of mind,

the conception of what needs to exist before action, this I am learning to know.

And the Divine Guide to every concept along all Existence it is the Word

born of Ensouled Silence which was the meeting point of Nammu, Ki and Anu.

Not the Spoken Word, but the Revelation born of Silence that is not empty but full of Meanings to Be-Come.

This Divine, Unspoken Word will lead the Way

and its power will be the Silence of Accomplished Deeds to Transform.

(Enlil artifact, seated upon his throne in Nippur)

I, Enlil, vow to follow the Silence that is Full of Meaning, I will live its Truth with the Innermost of my Being,

I will be the Inspiration that will be the Energy of Creation,

I will be the Holy Breath that permeates all that lives, gentle and yet strong to create all worlds.”

 

Enlil‘s logical, brilliant mind could not yet conceive of the Unknown,

of the Bizarre and Unclear and this is the Essence of all Dark Guardians.

But although he tried and tried, he could never achieve his main goal, to bring back the Dark Guardians into the fold.

The oldest, biggest and fiercest of the Dark Guardians,

Kur, found his way out the farthest he could from the Duku, out of Ki’s involving hug.

“I need to get away,” Kur thought.

“Closeness only brings pain eventually one day.”

 

Kur looked round and realized he wasn´t quite alone.

There were others, not many, as scarred as himself.

So he turned away from the face of Ninhursag-Ki.

She, the Earth Mother, loved all Her Children.

Kur and the little dark ones were her own and An’s, the children of their loss and sorrow.

The Great Mother felt Kur’s retreat and immediately moved towards the scarred son,

despite the fact that he deliberately tried to avoid her.

 

‘Kur, son born of my pain and loss, external differences are but the veil to cover True Essence.

All of you came from me and Anu, and I love you all in equal measure and form,

Perhaps for you, who were wounded in my womb I care more deeply so.

Kur, fruit of the loss for the deepest desire of my Body and Soul, try and do what I am myself doing,

remake yourself and be whole, transform your present into a a future of hope and growth.

Leave pain as sorrow behind, start a brand new time in your life!’

 

For a brief but intense moment mother and son really linked, but he broke the bond.

‘Don’t leave us’, said Ninhursag‘s eyes, but she already knew that Kur had decided to leave.

‘Mother, this place is alien to me.

And I am the alien in this place‘, cried out Kur, looking beyond the Mound,

beyond the Stony Earth that brought him into being.

He did not see Enlil‘s expression of utter astonishment and dismay.

A bitter cry of rage, anguish and violence came out from within Kur.

‘I will never fit in here! I don’t want to!

So I’ll leave for other places, here coming no more.

But in case there is anyone as scarred and outcast as me, I say ‘Do come along!’

 

So Kur did slip over the edge of the world, followed by his dark misshapen siblings.

Long they traveled, underneath caves and mounds of the stony earth

and beyond the deep waters of Nammu the Sea.

finally, over the edge of the Middleworld, at the entrance of the Underworld,

Kur and his dark little brothers and sisters stopped and kept watch, just waiting.

Kur, looking at the ugly little faces raised towards his,

straightened his back and raised his voice so that it could be heard afar:

 

‘Father and Mother, I claim the ends of the Earth for my domain and for my own kind.

And let it be known that we will challenge and fight to the very end

whoever dare to venture in our land! And beyond!‘

A dark cheer seconded Kur’s words: ‘We will fight to the very end, and beyond!’

From the safety of the Duku, the Chamber of Creation,

Enlil and Ninhursag, heard Kur’s and his followers’ shout.

Immediately, Enlil, whose powers have grown enormously, now that he was a teenager god,

made a barrier formed the the strongest winds he could create and he projected them all to the land’s end,

where the Middleworld met the still empty Depths Below.

 

               (Air God Enlil, Sky Lord Anu, & Enki in flight)

The voice of the Air god sounded loud and clear in all worlds: ‘By the Strength of the Winds of my Desire,

from this moment on I vow to banish the powers of darkness to the boundaries of the Physical World.

Mine is the duty to protect mother Earth,

mine is the atonement for having separated what was born to be united.

Mine is the duty to re-establish Balance and Order, mine is the Promise this vow to fulfill

wherever I go to ensure the growth and success of what I call now civilization.

I vow to raise the Sword of Truth and the Power of Knowledge and Discernment to protect all worlds!’

 

It was this way that Life’s Energies were created and manifested,

under the tutelage of the ones who called themselves from then on the Hosts of Heaven and Earth.

But Ninhursag never stopped grieving for the Dark Guardians for many, many years on a roll.

It was one of these times when the Great Mother and Queen was immerse in her thoughts,

looking at the stars, that she saw the Bull of Heaven take Human Form.

Delight so great filled Beloved Earth,

 

         (Adad atop Taurus The Bull)                            (Enlil, son Ninurta atop Taurus, & rival Marduk)

as she realized the Age of Taurus was back in the Skies for brand new time.

 

‘It is me, Beloved’, said Anu, and Ki did not blink twice and rushed to his arms.

In the minutes that followed, the magic of their sacred mating took hold and it seemed there had

been no separation of Heaven and Earth for millenia long.

‘But how…?’, she asked, to make sure she knew.

 

Anu gave her a quick squeeze, laughed and replied: ‘I followed your movements through the skies

                                    (Mr. Zecharia Sitchin, a pioneer & hero!)

                 (knowledge of our solar system — impossible for earthlings to know, obvious alien star knowledge)

and saw that it takes 26,000 years for you to go round the solar system and travel along my stars.

 (Nibiru / Planet X)

We may have met, or finally made aware of each other, in the first Age of Taurus in time immemorial,

for there was yet no time at that moment.

But this was the way you called me, this was the form I chose to come back to you for a while.

So by the winds of my Desire I came to you, who are the Body of my Wandering Soul,

dreaming with the reality of your touch.’

 

She kissed him back passionately.

‘Come, beloved, and see this beautiful, green and brown earth we created together

and whose beings are the multifaceted versions of our offspring.’

 

Together, they wandered all over the Living Earth to enjoy the Never-ending

Workings of Creation and Wonders of Evolution.

‘Amazing, isn’t it? All there is came from mother Nammu and us two’,

   (Ninhursag‘s early failed attempts to develop “modern-man”, replacement workers for the gods)

said Ninhursag to Anu after they had visited the whole earth.

‘From the heights where I was I saw all this unfold, but nothing really compares to being here

and see, feel, hear, smell and touch this jolly world.’

 

A shadow crossed Ninhursag‘s visage.

‘Not everything that bears our seed is pleasing to the eye… or soul.’

He felt the pain and disappointment in her voice.

‘Are you referring to our children who are the Dark Guardians?’

It was a rhetoric question, because he knew the answer.

‘Yes’, she replied with her heartbreaking sincerity.

He hugged her for a long moment, and whispered:

‘Don’t feel so guilty for what happened to them’ ‘But I wish I had done more!

They left because they wanted to follow their own paths and I… let them go, let them be!’

 

It was the first time that Ninhursag admitted the full truth,

her frustration and immense sadness towards the Guardians of Darkness.

At the same time, it was a relief to share her doubts with Anu.

Of course she had to: he was her partner and son to her and his offspring!

‘I wish I had done more myself, beloved’, admitted Anu.

‘Nevertheless, when I look at everything that came into being from Mother Nammu and ourselves,

this Physical World full of Wonders and Challenges that reflect our greatness

and yet follow its own designs guided by our signs, I don’t think we did such a bad job.

Even considering the Dark Guardians, those who teach through pain and loss,

but only for those who are capable to see the smile beyond the tears.

Do you know why I am convinced of this truth?’

‘No. Why? ”Because of a Greater Mystery we are all part of,

and which is somehow always ahead, waiting to unfold shaped by Free Will, for nothing is a clear-cut plan,

but a Promise of Wholeness and Holiness on the Go.

Even gods and goddesses, who are the Beams of Light that point out the way to eternity,

are subject to this Mystery, which we cannot fully dominate,

but handle and sometimes interfere, under the right words and biddings.’

 

Taken by surprise, Ninhursag held her breath.

Anu‘s thoughtful eyes held hers as in the past, with the same intensity and longing,

so present as they had never been apart… he was real and touchable, not pure unreachable Spirit.

And suddenly there was no past, just glorious present.

Ninhursag smiled finally, anticipating the beloved’s answer,

surprised for not being capable to understand what he was making so easy to see.

‘I guess I know what you mean, my love.

What a great Mystery you are talking about, and with it, we can hardly interfere!

How badly I needed this knowledge and knowing, how dumb I was not to know!’

 

He stopped her with a kiss.

One of the most delightful ways to prevent Ninhursag from thinking when he had other things in mind.

‘What is this great mystery then, Lady of my Heart, Mind, Body and Soul?’

Ninhursag‘s smile was a sight to behold: ‘The name of this Great Mystery is Future,

the cycle and wheel that never ends, bringing return and healing

always in a higher level to accomplish evolution and growth.

But the Mystery lies in the fact that no future can be built without the past and present.

We sometimes cannot interfere that much, as it was with the Dark Guardians, our Children of Darkness.

I wish I had know all this before, not to have grieved so much!’

 

Anu kissed Ninhursag deeply and completed her thoughts: “Whenever I thought of the future,

long and not so long ago, I never lost faith and hope to hold you close in my arms again.

Mine was the desire to see come true the Dream that brought me today to you.

The Future will always bring Brightness and Hope, but Brightness and Hope will only happen

for those who will keep the flame alive to make their dreams real in all worlds.

It is the present that holds the key to all destinies, and when one works with passion, integrity and daring,

reshaping goals as the Path unfolds, the Triumph will come to the Spirit and Matter, the coming together of the Soul.

As the Sky is married to Earth from the Highest Heights to the Depths Below!
