The Anunnaki mythology story is gaining popularity among Black people who are dissatisfied with popular religions. At the HERU Interface of Black Consciousness, we say; the Anunnaki story is unethical, avoid it. Here is why…
As Black people abandon the religions of our colonizers, due to the unethical nature of those religious concepts and their inability to satisfy our spiritual needs, many of us are turning to popular myths such as the Anunnaki creation story. Thanks to social media, many popular influencers, including Billy Carson, have made their names off popularizing the story. The result is that many Black and African people have now adopted the myth as an alternative to religions.
Before delving into our reasons for labelling the Anunnaki story as unethical, let us understand what Ethics is.
Society defines Ethics as a branch of philosophy that deals with morality and the principles of right and wrong. Dohgon Spirituality, which we use as part of the HERU Interface, defines Ethics and Morality as the energy of the Great Spirit that is the Universe acting on human Conscience to reign-in and balance human Desires.
Ethics is important because it helps us to determine what is right and wrong in any given situation we encounter in life. It can help us to make decisions that are in-line with our values and beliefs, and it can help us to understand and better consider the consequences of our actions. Ethics can also help us to understand the impact of our decisions on other people and Nature.
What is the Anunnaki story?
Originating from ancient Mesopotamian texts, the story revolves around a group of extraterrestrial deities referred to as the Anunnaki. It states that the Anunnaki discovered Earth about a half million years ago. During that time in their history, their planet was experiencing a global catastrophe. It was losing its atmosphere and the only substance that could dramatically slow the process of its impending demise was the spreading of gold dust in the atmosphere of their planet.
Unfortunately, the supply of gold on their planet was limited. In order to solve their gold shortage, they began to explore the galaxy to find gold on other worlds. When they found Earth and its enormous supply of gold, the only lifeforms here were plants, animals, and insects. Their first unethical move was to use another race of beings as slaves to dig up the gold for them. They brought those slaves to Earth but after thousands of years of labor, those slaves rebelled. The Anunnaki’s second unethical move was the total extermination of those first slaves.
Being masters of genetics but not chemistry (to be explained later) the Anunnaki then combined their own DNA with Apes to create humans. The tactic worked well for thousands of years until they saw that humans were getting unruly like the first slaves. I guess they were smart enough to recognize the trend so, instead of exterminating humans, they gave humans a god and religions to keep humans content and hopeful that they will someday join their god in the heavens.
According to the story, up until a few thousand years ago, the Anunnaki would arrive in plain sight to collect the gold humans stockpiled for them, but in modern times and since religions are working so well in keeping humans obedient and blind, they’ve chosen to only reveal themselves to human leaders and elites of chosen countries.
It is crucial to understand that these texts were created in a time when mythology was commonly used to explain natural phenomena, and to comfort anxiety and fear. 99% of human understanding about life, other than how to grow food, was at the level of a 5 year old. Higher knowledge was not available to everyone as it is today; only rulers, spiritual shamans, and philosophers.
Through education and the sharing of knowledge, most people today believe that Aliens exist and have been visiting Earth for thousands of years. The only problem is that there isn’t much evidence to prove it. Anunnaki myth believers say that the reason why no empirical evidence of Aliens is available to the general public is because governments and the elite are hiding it. We have no time for conspiracies because we already know that extraterrestrials exist and that they are not interested in silly things such as collecting gold.
Why do we label the Anunnaki myth unethical?
First of all, the Anunnaki myth is not unethical to regular people because they refuse to implement ethics in every intellectual pursuit they engage in. If they did, they would quickly consider the pursuit of ethics as the true measure of civilization. To us, the Anunnaki myth is unethical because of two things;
One. The Anunnaki myth states that the Anunnaki first came to Earth in search of Gold. If you don’t know, since ancient times up until present day, Gold has been the true standard of affluence. Therefore, it isn’t hard to understand why the creators of the Anunnaki myth would have chosen to use Gold as the object that beings from other worlds would travel across the galaxy to find.
Scientists have understood the chemical properties of gold for over a hundred years now. Scientists also understand that gold, like all elements can be created artificially. The only problem they face is generating enough energy to manipulate Atoms into gold. For that reason, gold has a purity scale, which is measured in Karats. The higher the karat, the purer the gold. 24 karat is the purest form of gold, while 10 karat is the least pure.
Our question is; if the Anunnaki are millions of years more advanced than humans, why is it that they hadn’t figured out how to create gold instead of travelling billions of miles across the galaxy to dig it up? The only logical answer to that question is, at the time of the story’s creation, those who created the Anunnaki story did not know about Elements. Furthermore, people today who refuse to consider this blaring logic would rather follow the example of religion instead of using their brains to think logically. They’re hoping that everyone will be as gullible as them.
Two. The second problem we have with the Anunnaki story is the unethical concept of slavery and the assumption that slavery and conquest is a natural characteristic of every species that has ever and will ever exist in the universe. I categorically reject that assumption and will also point out that even when we apply the evolution theory, intelligent beings will eventually graduate beyond the need to exploit other beings in order to survive.
To prove how ingrained this concept is in the psyche of even the most intelligent Europeans; the world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, once issued a warning that humanity should fear Aliens because humans will end up as slaves to them. I will explain what he meant for those who don’t understand. He meant that, given the history of humanity, stronger and more developed races of people have always colonized or enslaved weaker and less developed races of people. For nothing other than to enrich themselves with the resources of the lesser culture.
I guess Stephen Hawking never heard about the story of the Nommo, who are a species of benevolent extraterrestrial beings in the mythology of the Dohgon (Dogon) people of Mali, West Africa.
The Nommo are said to be the first living beings created by the supreme being, Amma. They are described as fish-like creatures who descended from the sky to teach the Dohgon people about the universe and the secrets of life. When another famous European astronomer, Carl Sagan, was asked about the anomaly of the Dohgon, he reverted to the racist side of his nature and claimed that anything the Dohgon knew about the heavens must have been attained from early European explorers into their region.
The plain truth is that non-African concepts about spirituality and the origin of life cannot be trusted. Their nature is conquest, domination, and enslavement; therefore, all their concepts about the origin of humanity be based on conquest, domination, and enslavement. That is not to say that many African origin concepts, especially those that rely on ritualism and sacrifice, are not unethical as well, but that is for another discussion.
The Importance of Benevolence
Most dictionaries define Benevolence as an act of kindness or charity, typically done without expecting anything in return. It is an act of goodwill and generosity, often motivated by a desire to help others. We recognize benevolence as the highest state of sanity.
The Great Spirit that is the Universe is an infinite mass of Pure Dark Energy. Thought is manipulated energy that begins in chaos and strives for perfection. If conquest and domination is chaos then benevolence is perfection. How many benevolent Alien species are there in the galaxy?
That is a question that we can’t answer yet but we do have an example of one; the Nommo. The Nommo came to our brothers the Dohgon and didn’t want gold or to conquer, enslave or be worshipped; they simply came to share their knowledge.
Furthermore, the Nommo were so ethical that, even though their physical appearance was very different from humans, they never tried to change our appearance to look like them, unlike the unethical god mentioned in Genesis in the Bible.
If you are a person of African ancestry and you are searching for an ethical spiritual belief system for inspiration, consider Dohgon spirituality and the HERU Interface. The Nommo are our spiritual inspiration and there is nothing unethical about them or their objectives for visiting Earth.
The Nommo are simply willing to share their knowledge with us in hopes that doing so will inspire us to pursue an ethical existence. On the other hand, the Anunnaki story was no doubt created by the same unethical people who created the mystery god story of the bible. Black people who are abandoning popular religions should not fall for this unethical story. We need to follow ethical breadcrumbs in our endeavor to discover the truth of our existence.
