— STAR FIRE — THE GOLD OF THE GODS STAR FIRE — GOLD Gops THE THE Once the Anunnaki departed Sumeria, the preselected Master Craftsmen developed a substitute for Star Fire: a mystical bread made from the alchemical white powder of gold. Part 2 of 3 t was this very concept of 'being' or 'self-completeness' which posed the ultimate problem for Enlil-Jehovah. In contrast, his brother Enki knew that humans who par- took of the Tree of Knowledge (the Anunnaki wisdom) and of the Plant of Birth (the Anunnaki Star Fire) could themselves become almost like gods. Even Jehovah was said to have recognised this, and Genesis states that when Adam had taken the fruit of the Tree, Jehovah said, "Behold, the man is become as one of Us". Enki the Wise, Guardian of the Tree of Knowledge, also had another name in the Hebrew tradition. They called him Samael (Sama-El) because he was the designated Lord of Sama in northern Mesopotamia. The teachings of the early mystery-schools were very specific about the Trees of Life and Knowledge, and they emulated the very teachings of Enki himself. It was said: Nothing is obtained simply by wanting. And nothing is achieved by relinquishing responsibility to a higher authority. Belief is the act of ‘beliving’, for to ‘be live’ is to ‘believe'—and Will is the ultimate medium of the Self. The Sumerian records relate that Cain's son, King Etana, partook of the Plant of Birth in order to father his own son and heir, King Baali—and the Plant of Birth was directly asso- ciated with individual longevity and the office of Cainship, or Kingship. It was itself related to Star Fire and to pineal gland activity, and partaking of the Plant of Birth was the ritual of ingesting the Star Fire—the pure Anunnaki female essence, the Nectar of Supreme Excellence. In this regard, the Anunnaki ‘flow-er' (flower or lily) was held to be the Cup-bearer, the transmitter of the Rich Food of the Matrix. In this capacity, she was called the Rose of Sharon (from the word Sha, meaning ‘Orbit’, along with the words Ra and On, relating to the ultimate temple of 'Light’). The significance of this highly venerated station is actual- ly made apparent in the Bible's esoteric Song of Solomon wherein the Messianic Bride proclaims to the King, "I am the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the valleys". A Star Fire recipient King was considered to have become qualified for Kingship when he reached a pre-destined state of enlightened consciousness—a state when his aptitudes for wisdom and leadership had been enhanced to a realm of Kingship called the Malka. It was from this Mesopotamian word Malki that the Hebrews derived their words Malchus (King) and Malkhut (Kingdom). Only in very recent times have medical scientists identified the hormonal secretion of the pineal gland, finally isolating it in 1968. The essence was called melatonin, which means ‘night worker' (from the Greek, melos, meaning 'black', and tosos, meaning ‘labour'’). Those with a high melatonin output react strongly against sunlight because it affects their mental capability; they are essentially night operatives. Melatonin is called the ‘hormone of darkness' as it is produced only at night or in the dark. Exposure to an excess of sunlight actually makes the pineal gland smaller and lessens spiritual awareness, whereas darkness and high pineal activity enhance the keen intuitive knowledge of the subtle mind while reducing the stress factor. At this stage, it is of interest to note how it was that the Christian Church eventually demolished the true significance of the Star Fire ritual by manoeuvring it into the realm of sinister Gothic legend. In the old tradition, the ultimate holders of the Malkhut were known as Dragons or Pendragons, and the reigning head was always known as Draco. By virtue of their bodily conditioning through supplementary melatonin and other hor- monal secretions, they were in fact Princes of Darkness; and they gained their heightened awareness, above-normal powers and longevity from the Star Fire—the lunar blood of the Anunnaki Queens and the priestly Scarlet Women.
