(for importance of cain, see part one) In whose language? Cain is a figure from Biblical/Hebrew mythology, and thus one would expect any etymology associated with the name to have a meaning in Hebrew, the language in which his story is told. However, the Hebrew for 'kingship' is 'malkhuth', which doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to the name of Cain. I presume there is some piece of linguistic nonsense behind this, roughly along the lines of those presented by van Buren in her RlC related works. In Hebrew, the word 'Cain' (qoph-yod-nun) means spear or dagger, pronounced 'ka-yin'. > > one was deemed eligible to become king when he reached the state of > 'malku,' enlightened consciousness. this root was the origin of the > Hebrew words 'malchus' (king) and 'malkhut' (kingdom) The hebrew for 'King' is 'melek', not 'malchus'; in fact, the form 'malchus' is impossible as a derivation from the triliteral MLK which underlies words associated with kingship, since it imports, from nowhere, an extra consonant which isn't associated with any Hebrew verb-form. Verb-forms by and large depend on changes of vowel, and any which add consonants add the prefixes (not suffixes) me'- 'he'- or hit'-. There's no way a word with a suffixed 's' could be genuinely derived from a Hebrew verb-root. And there's no trace of a Hebrew word derived from this root which has anything to do with 'enlightened consciousness'. I'd be fascinated to hear what language Gardner claims to be dealing with here. > > > stresses the importance of melatonin ingestion to most efficiently > metabolize the intake of pineal gland secretions --- 'melatonin' > meaning night worker or night laborer More rubbish. The medical term 'Melatonin' - a hormonal secretion from the pineal gland - is derived from the Greek 'melos', which means 'black'. In Greek, 'night' is 'nuktos'. > . . .

However, his main purpose in life was the defence of his homeland against the Muslim Turks, which he pursued with ruthless effectiveness in his capacity as Catholic prince. He was one of those who prevented the further incursion of the Ottoman Empire into Eastern Europe. What he's supposed to have to do with Egypt is beyond me; likewise, Gardner seems to be completely unaware of the difference between Vlad himself and the fictional 'Dracula', who based only remotely, if at all, upon Vlad Tepes. Check out Elizabeth Miller's Dracula pages (go on, look it up; I don't have the URL to hand) if you don't believe me; she demonstrates beyond all doubt that Bram Stoker knew almost nothing about the real Vlad Tepes and based very little of the character of his 'prince of darkness' upon the real Vlad. How appalling to discover that someone who's such a major influence on modern-day Grail-seekers is so completely unable to tell the difference between fact and fiction - or even between fiction, and popular/cinematic interpretations of said fiction! > > speaks of the 'old language' of southern europe.

It derives from the late Latin 'albus', which means 'white'. > > incursions into sumeria by akkadians, amorites, and elamits caused the > civilization to decline ; thus, abraham leaves the city of ur Abraham is said to have come from 'Ur of the Chaldees'. The Chaldees or Chaldeans did not invade Ur and its environs until c. 1000 BC, which is some 2 millenia after the demise of the Sumerian city-state system and its absorption by the Mittannian, and then the Assyrian, empire. To say that Abraham left a 'Sumerian' city is to betray one's historical ignorance. Also, Sumeria was a collection of relatively independent city-states; it wasn't an empire. Not until the establishment of Mittanni, and then the Assrian empire, did the concept of a kingdom with an all-powerful king appear in the area. What does he mean by 'the decline of civilisation'? Given his obsession with kingship, I'd expect Gardner to be in favour of the empire option, rather than the city-states, but if he regards the establishment of empire as a 'decline', I guess he's contradicting himself somewhere. > > > in time, the starfire 'cocktail'(see part one) was replaced by the > eating of a white powder, monoatomic gold, to heighten consiousness Gold is used in chelated form (bound to other substances on a chemical level) to treat rheumatoid arthritis unsusceptible to other treatments. This is a last resort, undertaken only with informed consent, because gold compounds are highly toxic. However, the reason gold compounds are used is because they are far _less_ toxic than pure gold itself... == my Karma just ran over your Dogma ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, or to change your subscription to digest, go to the ONElist web site, at http://www.onelist.com and select the User Center link from the menu bar on the left.
