Yes, actionable steps...and isn't it funny that the old Gods of ancient Sumer and Bablylon re-appear time and again in different guises...but are always here in one form or another?
Like sacrificing one's children to Moloch (Abortion)..they go by many names, but they are the same as they were as far back as we can see/intepret as the "beginning (cough cough) " of civilization.
I personally think there was a civilzation before Sumer....but I digress.
Absolutely right - these ancient gods are up to their old tricks, just with new labels and contemporary looking façades. There truly is 'nothing new under the sun', but we are often so stupidly tricked by the smoke and mirrors.
Isn’t Ishtar where Easter came from? The church gives the name Easter to Christs resurrection. Not in the Bible. What do bunny’s have to do with Jesus?? The pagan Gods have a lot to do with church traditions.
I am so stupid I cannot even remember who Mark is in your writing, but I do wish you would give us a bullet list of all the CRAP we have been fed and why in a single sentence or two, it is wrong.
Starting with Darwin's Theory, moving on to what we know now i about human body (muscles have memory, gut affects your brain, etc.) and please include the case for intelligent design, gene degradation, anthropogenic climate change....Honestly, I value very much your input as to WHY everything we think we KNOW is wrong or imperfect. Up to the belief in God or a Creator of the universe...and this awful craving people have to live forever and be gods. ALL of our DELUSIONS need deflating. Many thanks in advance for anything you choose to do.

As part of "the choir," I already agree with you about the theory of evolution. Even so, I was still enjoying your explorations of the topic. (The Universe-O-Matic piece really hit the nail on the head!) Philosophizing has its place - action taken without reflection often has undesirable consequences. So do carry on about evolution if you feel inspired.
That being said, I found your musings on Ishtar very interesting, so I hope you'll continue in that vein too. Thank you!
I'll read whatever you write, no question. Will I understand everything? Probably not. But it's good to have one's brain muscles worked now and then, even if it's sometimes to exhaustion. Write on!
Men are angular. Women are spherical. If you paint women, you paint the whole indivisible universe. Every woman is a particularization of the one thing - the Goddess, She, Shakti, the universal power/energy light.
A woman's body rotating expresses the indivisible unity of existence. It or creation is all just She.
If you destroy the intrinsic greatness of woman or the Feminine Principle, you reduce life to all of the usual scandalous and destructive male garbage - male-reduced, montonous aggressive exchanges, and petty concerns and rivalries, and all the rest of the nonsense created by the psychotic male mind divorced from and at war with the Feminine Principle.
Everything about woman, in other words, everything about the domain of feeling and senses, and pleasurable association with the feeling and sensual domain, or sense domain, is corrupt at the present moment, and opposed. Not just the Divine Spirituality, but WOMAN is opposed - that which woman is, that which she incarnates, that which her pattern is about.
The "She" altogether requires mankind to be integrated with it, as the feeling-core of life The complete restoration of it. The liberation of the human disposition from the opposition to woman, to Shakti, to feeling, to the art of all the senses, glorifying and turned toward the Divine Condition of existence. Done in the temple, done in bed, done at meals, done in community.
If you are full of "She" or the Goddess, full of love, full of art, and all the yin that woman is, combine with it, then the male, or the yang force (in this apparent dualistic division) is made whole, is gentled, is integrated with what it refuses via its ceaseless left-brained mentalizing and physical hardness, and brute intentions relative to what appears to be the controlling force, the force of nature, the force of the cosmos, the force of what is simply happening.
The hard-edged left-brained male is utterly defended against it and tending to think and bully his way into some control over ALL of it - that terrible intention or collective psychosis has overcome all of humanity in this dark time.
The typical male sexing is a destruction of woman too, a denial of the feminine force, of Shakti, or energy, of delight, of Happiness Itself.
The temple and the place of embrace is a place of art, in every detail - the senses embraced pleasurably as women teach men, if men will respond. Women teach the lesson that the realm of the senses, the domain of the senses, is the domain of feeling, and it is to be organized pleasurably. The lesson of the male, having embraced the woman, having embraced the domain of feeling and the senses, is that ALL of this must be deeply considered in the context of the Divine Reality, and oriented to IT. And then the business of daily life has its logic. It's no longer made of competitive male-like egos trying to control the world aggressively. The interactions between human beings thus become constructed on the basis of presumed pleasure, presumed orientation to Happiness, presumed conformity to the Ultimate Condition of existence, Happiness Itself, engaged hour by hour, made even into architecture and art and community.
And speech too, or the language that precedes the language of the world or the language that is prior to mere left-brained maleness, mere strategic mind, seeking for power, or seeking to control - softened by that, in the domain of art, or women, of feeling and The Beautiful Itself.
This post was magnificent, thank you for taking us on the journey. In university I balked when my professors declared that there is no G-d since the Old Testament contains different names for the Creator, whilst never understanding there are reasons for why different names are used. That australopithecine fossils prove Darwin’s theory even though they are from different groups.
What of spirituality in quantum terms?
What of the mind of anyone who trusts in G-d, does it differ on a physical level from those who do not?
Something that strikes me throughout myths and even today is the concept of permission / free will. One must invite a goddess into their home, possibly gaining reward for for doing so. Similarly, vampires cannot enter uninvited. The vaccine is safe in effective and not forced but coerced, almost as if a dose must be invited in order to enter.
Your essay brings to mind what Bab Roberts, the Prophet, explained about Nimrod, the mighty hunter, and his wife/mother, Semiramis, who I think would be the same as Ishtar. Being both his mother and his wife would indicate that she was a mindset which gave birth to Nimrod’s ways of thinking, and which he accepted and used or married in order to foist that mindset upon humanity. This would be Satan or what we call the Alien Mind. Didn’t work out very well for him.
According to the story, humanity was living in peace and the people were able to speak telepathically with one another so that the people were in constant communication and could expose any wrong doing or any misrepresentations or lies. It made it difficult for Nimrod to divide the people to keep them in war. Nimrod somehow convinced a few followers that they had enemies and proposed building a tower to keep watch over the nations. Bab said the Tower of Babel included some sort of apparatus in space, orbiting the earth. I can’t find what he wrote, but the Tower could focus energy and be shot out at the apparatus in space which could direct that energy beam, possibly like a laser, anywhere they directed it. Who was the enemy? Man, of course. Our ancestors and our future if we ever decide to put down our weapons of war.
I’m sure the weapon was tested, and this alerted Man, the Hyksos, and they came and destroyed the weapon. Man also turned 1/3 of humanity into elephants and 1/3 into apes. For the remaining third Man confused their minds so that they could not speak to one another telepathically. It might be that they unhooked our genetics. In regard to the elephants and apes, God doesn’t destroy His creations, but He for sure will send them into the Bottomless Pit of time to help them evolve even if He has to send them back to being a mouse.
Is there any nation you know who resembles Semiramis and Nimrod? All of those who keep us in war and who divide us between ourselves better beware. Do you want to be a man or a mouse?
I have enjoyed all of your writing! This series you were methodically bringing us along to the idea that we human beings and the nature that surrounds us and the planet we are living on in the solar system we have discovered to all of the rest of dark space or the unknown in the universe is way way way too complex and sophisticated to all be explained away by the Darwin theory and the evolution of man and can I call it the Big Bang theory?
The Goddess you speak of is fascinating reading and helps explain the delusion many people seem to be living under that just everything of a sexual nature is now ok to do when I want to say “we all” possess but maybe more truthfully most of us possess an inner voice that knows right from wrong and cannot be fooled. We call it our conscience right? So I do believe there is a mass psychosis taking place so that people’s brains have turned to mush so that they are unable to reason anymore or to just rely on their basic common sense or their conscience to tell them right from wrong. Please keep writing about anything you want to write about, it is all food for the soul.
For me, you are preaching to the choir but I still like to hear a good sermon sometimes.
You have density going for you: I have already (long ago) worked through the rough argument you are making, but not in nearly the exquisite detail you are providing. It's great to see the nitty-gritty receipts.
Mark is already doing the shock. LucTalks has a recent piece that covers the philosophical angle. Someone has to do the science, why not you?
Just recently, I fixed Darwin's theory!

Isn't it possible that there is no "mass psychosis"? Good-old conformity can do the job just fine.
As long as one's guide is fear, that person is already dead without even knowing it...
Oh, most forms of mass manipulation are quite easy to circumvent:

The concept of Ishtar is new and inspiring.
No it won't make me glaze over with academic prattle.
Actionable steps are, I hope, are what we're here for.

Yup.
There is soooo much infiltration of pagan beliefs in our culture - will get into some of that too.
Not to mention our believe in our own superiority over those we label as 'pagen'.

💬 I’m not sure how we got from genetic entropy to a demon goddess who wants you dead...
I’m. Easy-peasy piece of pie: it's on Mark 🤭 Long live you gifted bastards! 🤩

I await anxiously for more on this subject. You've excited my brain cells.✨
