Yeah, that was the reason for my disclaimer about Sitchin's work. I'm going from a tracker's perspective here, trying to empathize with the ancients as well as determine what the most likeliest explanation is for the incredible architecture and knowledge they had. Also the timeline for human evolution doesn't make sense at all. By all rights we should be another few million years in the making for our knowledge and present physiology.
The ancient astronauts theory makes way more sense to me, given the big picture, than anything conventional science has told us. I like this timeline explanation...
http://churchofcriticalthinking.org/link_solved_timeline.htmlIn the tablets, the Aunnunaki talk about a father of all things or a creator of all things, who may be mildly involved in a the affairs of his creations. Implying that 'god, the infinite, the ALL, is just as much a mystery to them, though they sound certain of his/it's existence all the same.
I know there's a "infinitely intelligent source field" ie god. I said that this wasn't testable in an earlier post, but what I meant is so far, it's not testable in a scientific manner, but each person can test it out for themselves by practicing the law of attraction. When you personally see too many bizarre coincidences to deny that there's some grand intelligence going on behind the scenes (not really, sort of right out in the open if you pay attention) you will have tested the theory of god for yourself. If there was no god, and everything was just inert dust, these types of coincidences would not be possible. Things would actually be totally random with no design or organization. You wouldn't get signs, synchronicity, and feedback from life. But that is precisely what we get when we start paying attention and forming our reality instead of just by standing.
I'm listening to the Kybalion right now which really has a lot of great ideas about the nature of the infinite and the universe. If you grew up with the judeo christian child, bully god of the bible as your idea of god, this really helps to break that notion. I've been away from the church for many years now, and I've known for a while that god is much more than the god of the bible, but dwelling and meditating on the true nature of "The ALL" really helps to renovate my idea of god, to a form and definition much more befitting of a being that is literally everything that ever existed or will ever exist.
As far as the ancient astronaut theory being disinformation, I've of course reserved the idea that it's disinfo, you really have to be suspicious of everything you hear of everyone, but from a tracker's point of view, there should be congruence in the track or the 'sign' left behind. So far the congruence leads best to an ancient astronaut explanation IMO. But before I can say that with any firmness, I'll have to look at all the criticisms of Sitchin's translations of the tablets. If he's translating them accurately then there's little doubt in my mind that the Annunaki were from another world and we are their GMO's. But if he fudged the translations, it will take longer to get to the bottom of things.
As long as there is a loving ALL there underneath of everything though, and I believe there is, then in the end everything is OK. We are truly indestructible souls, and the universe (not the traditional notion of universe, but instead truly everything that the ALL has ever manifested) is our playground for learning, experiencing and creating.
EDIT: Comically enough, this is my 777th post, 7 which is a very important number, in this post about synchronicity lol the creator does have a sense of humor, that is for sure!
