Ki
Sumerian creation myth.
Sat, 12/05/2007 - 11:41 — carmenBefore All Befores, there was Nammu, the Sea, She the Origin, Ever flowing Beginning. Nammu was the First, the Source, the Mother of the Universe, the Self-Procreating Womb of Abundance, Alone and All-In-One, Nammu was Primal Matter, the Deep Fertile Waters of the Sea. Before All Befores (for time was yet to be), Nammu revolved and flowed, squeezed, coiled and rushed like a double helix spiral. Love she made for the first time to HerSelf, and she in Pure Joy reveled. Nammu's waters then opened up: she had given birth to Ki-An, Creation's first born, She the Mountain, He the Sky. Before all Befores, wrapped around the liquid Body of the Mother, Ki the Mountain, An the Sky held each other close in a most tender embrace. Ki the Mountain, An the Sky lay in each other's arms before all befores, when An was an empty Sky, Ki a stony earth, laying barren and unfulfilled within Nammu's fecund body fluid. read more »
As someone told (i pasted that here) creation myth is always a controversial story.
I like to see a ceation myth based on Love.
Obviously the concept of brother, mother, sister, etc. is just a metaphor. For believers, deities are eternals as humans and non human beings are. Then siblings are symbolic.
"Life" started on the "sea" , then the goddess of sea must be the mother of the goddess of "the mountain" and the god of "heaven"
Heaven-mountain love creates new life, etc.
A certain time, another text not posted here, (yet?) gave to my heart a meaning for my past, for my present, for what i didnt know about me and about my surroundings.
This creation myth, gave to my mind and to my heart a meaning for my life, for all living beings, for our planet and for the physical and non-physical universes
Thanks Ishtar for unveiling a part of it, thanks all deities for the Love, for the Life, for the Creation, for this Heaven, for all forms of life. Thanks for building this human being. Happy to know that I will sense, feel and enjoy them all forever. Thanks.
