The power of the Ing is an awesome thing
The constellation Orion was configured differently in pre-Sumerian/Jemdat Nasr culture it was represented by the seated woman Ninshubur, Minister of the Bull of Heaven Taurus.
The seated woman is seen in relationship to Taurus and also the spider constellation of Uttu, Canis Major, she prepared the sacred Soma from eight ingredients so is also seen with many pouring jars and cups.
The eight ingredients of Soma relating to eight plants is sourced from the Enki and Ninhursag narrative, were Enki in the Dilmun seals in conjunction with Ninghursag establishes the stellar axis of Uttu.
This also the origin of the Goddess Nazi.

Right, it's interesting what the original role of Orion was in the Sumerian as true shepherd of Anu, it was as the vizier that acted as intermediary between Heaven and Earth and was understood to pretty much run both.
That was in relationship to Taurus as Anu and Inanna Goddess of the Pleiades, there was also the relationship to Canis Major and the eight plants of the spider Goddess which involved the production of Soma, and it was that which facilitated connectivity between humanity and the Divine.
>Among the divine viziers Nin-subur is the earliest and most important one, and, unlike the others of her kind, she is related to her masters not as cause and effect but rather as command and execution; in other words, she owes her importance not to the natural phenomena which her masters embody, but to the metaphor of the cosmos as a state, she is the "director" of the heavenly estate and the Anuna gods
>nin- subur = pap-sukkal sa da-nim - which literally translates "Nin subur is the Papsukkal (i.e. the vizier) of Anu,"
>Dis mul sipa.ziI.An.na pap-sukkal sukkal da-nim u Inin - The Constellation "True Shepherd of Anu" is Papsukkal, the vizier of Anu and Inanna
>…the servant, who is acquainted with the secrets of An, Ninsubura the chief servant, the shining crown of heaven, the messenger of good tidings, the goddess who turns what affects me into something good, who loves the directions of An and with out whom Enlil does not give orders to the great gods
>Lady, good seed of the Land, minister of An! mother Ninsubur! From the interior of heaven, An bestowed upon you , and Enlil destined as your fate, that you should take a lapis-lazuli sceptre in your hand and proceed in front of An.

It's an evil and miserable perspective and the entire ascetic tradition that developed in Hinduism from around the 6th century BC is pointless.
They were only trying to recreate the effects of Soma in the absence of such, were either the recipe or the ingredients had been lost, the Rig Veda tradition was the complete opposite of the ascetic movement, and it was all about the Soma.
>O Soma, these Seven Rivers flow, as being thine, to give command the Seven Sisters with their hymns made melody round thee the Sage
>The ten swift fingers deck thee forth, seven ministers impel thee on: The sages have rejoiced in thee. Great Son great Strengtheners of Law. Urged by the seven devotions he hath stirred the guileless rivers which Have magnified the Single Eye.
>The Ṛṣis came to him, seven holy singers, when in the bowls he settled as Invoker. In thy mysterious place, O Pavamana Soma, are all the Gods, the Thrice-Eleven. The Sage, Celestial, liberal, raining bounties, pours as he flows the Genuine for the Truthful. Light-winner, Ṛṣi-mindcd, Ṛṣi-maker, hymned in a thousand hymns, Leader of sages
>Excellent Pavamana, make the lights shine brightly out for us. Speed us to mental power and skill. He, beautified by pious men, and coming from their hands adorned, Flows through the fleecy straining-cloth. May Soma pour all treasures of the heavens, the earth, the firmament Upon the liberal worshipper.
You are trying to induce a mental experience and a sense of Oneness with the Divine, what i am sauing is doesn't it seem sad that a person could spend their life trying to induce that when a sip of Soma was understood to have toy flying up to the Bull of Heaven on a stream of consciousness on a better ride than anything imagined by Disney World, isn't it an evil that people cannot experience that but rather most resort to all manner of inadequate techniques?
I would rather restore the preparation of Soma but first one must understand the source and it's relationship to the seven sisters and sages of the Pleiades.
>Where is the secret shrine of heaven, where are those waters young and fresh. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake. Make me immortal in that realm where they move even as they list, In the third sphere of inmost heaven where lucid worlds are full of light. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake.
There were eight ingredients as per the plants of the spider Goddess, the seated Goddess that represented Orion prepared the Soma, she could even be replaced by a pouring jar and cup in relationship to the spider, that was the inter-mediary of Heaven and Earth.
