Well, synchronicity to the rescue... Thank you, Wim and Christopher. This
has helped me understand some things I asked in the bounders/boundaries
post. Makes a lot of sense to me.
However, I would think that hunter/gatherer societies were less prone to
materialism and property values than agrarian ones. And so would not need
such laws and punishments as agararian societies, even less temples and
priesthoods. Perhaps it's the survival aspect of roaming to live that made
the Enlil energy connect with H/G societies? I'm influenced here by Terence
McKenna's book "Food of the Gods", which imo makes a good case for claiming
that the original shamanic societies were hunter/gatherer ones, and were
less structured and more flowing than agararian ones.
I wonder if the "fruit" on the Knowledge of Good and Evil was a shamanic
one? If so, H/G societies seemed to have discovered the magic mushroom very
early on, and agararian societies turned a flowing experience into a
heirarchical one, if McKenna is right.
Love
Rob
