Dear Christopher,

Could there be a connection between En-lil and El, the God Yahweh who
despised the other God En-ki (Persian khoda, Gothic gheu), his brother, as
found in Pre(?)-Sumerian myths and legends?
Enki has very much to do with the serpent symbology (as in Kundalini). He
was hated by his brother Enlil (Elohim) as accounted for in the
(misinforming) Adam and Eve story from the book Genesis. I have some
memories of that episode and wrote about that in previous posts... I don't
think I have been taken serious enough with that account yet...
The God Enki seems to me more the god of the agricultural and subsequently
more inventive societies, the God Enlil more the god of the original
hunter-gatherers, and later the wanderers in the desert and more orthodox
societies. Enlil was judgmental and loved to excommunicate (Eden, Sodom and
Gomorra, punish with the flood), Enki was forgiving and knew how to come up
with solutions for the excommunicated folks (Noah, Adam and Eve, Jesus(?))
to thwart his sibling God-brother.
There is evidence of two god figures in the Old Testament, who are often at
loggerheads.
Now that you are on it... those 'divine' animosities are also in the "can of
soup"... (hope I understood you well enough).
Best not to eat from it...
Might be a can of worms :-)
I like the Buddha's nothingness better than eating out off the can. (Pun
intended).
I like guru bashing, a bit of god bashing is good too.
Love,
Wim
