So many questions arise regarding myth and legend. Events and especially creatures and characters. All great fun, wonderful stories and imagery.
Your writers education on our occulted history required an understanding of most all areas, without specific focus in just one area. (Aside from personal interests) Often he be meant to retain the 'gist' of things without the finer details. Taking what matters most to the whole. How we got here, now.
When it comes to characters throughout history this is very true for your writer. So many characters reappear and disappear, then get spoken of as if they have reappeared and then forgotten, disappearing - For a time.
Many characters have been hijacked over time and their image used by impostors trying to ride the coat tails of the past accomplishments of another being with that name, title or image.
This happens for various reasons although the most common are either to use the image to hide ones true image, or, to absorb the tales and/ or respect the name represents.
~a great and fun example is the Dread Pirate Roberts character from The Princess Bride film~
Many of our so called deities, kings, queens, pharaohs, other beings who shared knowledge meant as a reminder in the past, suffer this reality. A being on earth, performs great deeds, gains much respect, truly assisting humanity by helping them remember their sovereignty.
In time they depart either by death or other ways, and someone else comes along and claims the name. Thereby claiming the deeds, the love, respect. (Which they use as they choose.)
Likewise, some beings who have come to this planet and done great things have traveled to different parts of the world, performing the same actions under a different name.
~This is a very old planet. It has seen many cycles as it is an excellent planet to up-bring developing species.~
On top of this reality, we live in a world where all of these histories have been rewritten and re-adapted to fit later cultures and translate into various languages and social dialects. Creating s huge mess. A tangled web of truth colored by perceptions and intentions, allegory and archetypes.
Did you play "Broken Telephone" in school? If so you can imagine how this all happens.
Old God replaced new Gods and erased the image and history of the old Gods and replaced them with their new God image and history.
For fun: "Yes you may record my image. Create your statue of me with a dogs head only." 2000 years later; "these people believed their Gods were beings with dog heads".
This is why all the contradictions exist between all of the different versions of our history. The pieces don't fit.
Those in charge of this planet are exceptionally good at manipulating history to hide what they choose and also benefit, themselves. They have us believing all sorts of these twisted stories.
Unfortunately your writer cannot set them all straight for you, nor will he attempt to. What matters most now should be the focus.
Names, names, so many names.
So much information available to humanity (besides that stolen by occultists) is overcomplicated, by names. One becomes another and history gets lost as it fits the newest generation. All finding its place in the dust with the passing of time.
The meaning sticks with us and remains intact to some degree within every version of the story. We too often find ourselves so caught up in the story, trying to make sense of names and places, objects and details, that we miss the meaning. The contradictions our minds perceive from the broken story prevent us from finding what we seek. So we keep reading, hoping to find those details that bridge this all together. Missing puzzle pieces. No glue.
They have been erased and misplaced. Focus on the meaning.
They all tell us the same thing.
Within you all is the power to determine the course of evolution that humanity will take. It all starts with personal choice. Then in inspires. Then it spreads.
Then we imagine something new. A different way. A new world. It cannot be a repeat of the same.
The only ones that can do this is our souls. The only thing here to help us is spirit.
Our will creates order out of the chaos. Instead of the will of another race or any other gods.
This is why they want your will to be theirs. Which we have made true so far, as a consequence of giving our consent. Past mistakes in the past. Consequences paid. Time to move forward.
Does it matter who tells us this? Does it matter what they look like? Does it matter why they know? Does it matter what race they are or where they come from?
No, it does not. What matters is what we do. When we remember.
The reality is strange and the facts are buried in fiction. Those myths have become legends and we forget what we know.
But you do know. You do not have to believe. You have to remember.
