COURTYARD WISDOM
A-na-ku kish-ra
sha il-shu bu-ul-li-ta ni-shu-ma Ma-ru-du-uk
Da-li-le-ka lu-ud-lu
I am kishra who to her god called
give me life Marduk and I will praise thee.
I saw my Lord in my dreams and I asked, "How am I to find You?" He replied. "Leave yourself and come!"
The ecstatic mystic Bayezid Bistami.
"There is only one earth;
it is a tiny precious stone.
Let us treasure it
for there is not another one.."
Kishra Etana 1985
"Anu and Enlil determined for Marduk, the firstborn of Enki, the Enlil-functions over all mankind.
Made him great among the gods who watch and see.
Called Babylon by name to be exalted.
Made it Supreme in the world; And established for Marduk, in its midst, an everlasting Lordship..."
King Hammurabi
"The learned savant who guards the secrets of the great gods shall bind his favored son with an oath before Shamash and Adad. By the Divine Tablet, with a stylus, he shall instruct him in the secrets of the gods".
"Thus was the line of priests created, those who are allowed to approach Shamash and Adad"...
Cuniform tablet inscription - British Museum.
What of the future?
"Lo and behold: it is a secret with me hidden, stored and sealed within my treasures".
"Man is born of sadness, for he is of the Blood of the Ancient Ones, but has the Spirit of the Elder gods breathed into him. And his heart goes to the Ancient Ones, but his mind is turned towards the Elder gods, and this is the war which shall be always fought, unto the last generation of man; for the world is unnatural."
