Actually one of my favorite SG-1 episodes. People only use 6-10% of their brain, so there is plenty of capacity for growth. Though you might undergo what is called "The Dark Night of the Soul" a few times... that happens when your brain needs a major, neural rewriting and has to shut down for a bit to restructure and empty the trash. When it does that, you feel cut off from everything and everyone (can get very depressing) and it looks like there is no hope in the Universe that you'll ever feel good again. But then, a week or so later, you're fine with all sorts of new insights. Though you'd never believe it during the Dark Night! What happens is that the consciousness expands, so everything gets moved around and your mind cannot find where it left stuff. It takes a while to re-index your content, but after it does, you have a lot more room to think.PHIon wrote:I just saw the Stargate SG-1 episode where an Ancient takes human form as a young boy to help humanity fight a virus attack initiated by the Ori. He lost his knowledge because his brain could not handle all the genetic information he brought with him. He made this sacrifice willingly. In a weak comparison, I don’t want my neural nets rewired all at once with corrected information. A steep learning curve is OK, though.
All that would have been necessary is to create a telepathic link to one of the Ancient libraries, like the one that O"Neil looked into. That way, all the data is kept on a remote "hard drive," and all Orlin would have to retain was the pointer to the root directory. That's what the Cyclopeans did on Earth when they paid us a visit, long before the Annunaki came. (And yes, that "Archive of the Ancients" is still here--and accessible.)PHIon wrote:I wonder if the Ancient could have kept the information in the temporal realm and then accessed what he needed by going into a meditative state?
That's always been my view... easier for a person to enjoy a pie, if they eat it with a fork, rather than be hit in the face with it.PHIon wrote:I am giving thoughts on disclosure another look. New information needs to be trickled out instead of poured out, I think. I need to give this more thought, but I know all too well the feeling of being overwhelmed when learning something new and if deeply held beliefs are being challenged, some sensitivity is required. I do not have a strict religious background, for which I am grateful so Biblical anomalies do not bother me too much, but finding out our link to unfriendlies from space is still unsettling.
Man did not record a whole lot of information on that topic, but from what I've been able to piece together, it appears that Enki, being the scientist and engineer, par excellence, figured out how to Ascend--but the process also cut him off from the collective soul of the Annunaki. And like the Borg, a collective needs membership... so Enki became a threat.PHIon wrote:A quick thought on An, Ea, El and Enki… I think of the Annunaki as being almost or exactly machine-like. Could it be they have a genetic problem of their own and this is why Enlil is jealous of Enki and possibly his father?
That's my point... there is evidence that Enki separated from the group mind, and realized what it was like to be an individual.PHIon wrote:Where does Enki’s compassion come from if he is part of the Annunaki group mind?
Yes. It's pretty rare for the gods to have the SAME mother... very prolific bunch. Particularly Enlil... "God" would make a terrible Christian!PHIon wrote:Do Enki and Enlil have different mothers?
Annunaki means "the sons of An", so An spread his genetic material among them. If by Ancient Ones, you mean the Cyclopeans... they were An's grandparents (parents being the Titans).PHIon wrote:Could it be that An is part Annunaki and also part Ancient One? Did Enki receive the DNA which has a link to temporality, charge and photons and Enlil just got the “made in Orion” factory built machine parts? In this case, healing this genetic defect may make the Annunaki less volatile. Is this a galactic project in which we are playing a part?
I think that is more human hubris, than anything else.PHIon wrote:Funny, we are the mortals but are also the envied ones. Is it because we can phone home?
I don't know anything of SM politics, between the various factions. Other than "they speak with forked tongue"--in more ways than one--from my Cherokee descent.PHIon wrote:This course of thinking comes from a book I heard about from an author whose last name is Morningsong, I believe. The book discusses an arranged marriage involving An and a warlike queen mag Draco to keep a semblance of peace in the galactic wars.
