The Shining Ones Posted on Thursday, 5 January, 2012 | 7 comments Columnist: Tammy A. Branom The Shining Ones. Ancient astronauts? Extraterrestrials? Although I think the ideas are interesting, I find it difficult to believe life from afar came here and/or is still visiting us, keeping an eye on our progress, so to speak. I feel that the universe--even our galaxy--is too immense and any signals of our meager existence too diminutive for otherworldly beings to find us. However, I do believe entities from our own world, be it extra or ultra dimensional, are a more logical explanation as the culprits. Moreover, as Einstein postulated, time exists, past, present, future, ALL the time, not just moment to moment, as we perceive it. With that in mind, if someone (or a group) had the knowledge to do so, time could be traversed. Thus, what of the Shining Ones? Who were they? Where did they come from? These beings appear in ancient texts, myths, and religions around the world. New Age and other interpreters often claim the term "Shining Ones" show up more than is actually true as most of the references are not actually of Shining Ones by name, but rather of entities of similar descriptions. From what I gather, the Shining Ones are referred to in (albeit in limited places) Egyptian passages, Pagan beliefs, the Christian bible, Greek writings, and Sumerian tablets. Basically, the Shining Ones made themselves known in various places around the world, were more intelligent than humans, taught humans necessary information, and appeared to "shine" or were referenced as having light rays beaming around or from them. The same documentation referring to shining ones can also easily be interpreted as humans who were "enlightened" either religiously or educationally. The Shining Ones in Egyptian writing are more likely references of Egyptian kings who were considered divine and human with a direct lineage to the god of their preference. Yes, descriptions could indeed be of elevated humans, but enlightened by whom? "Enlightened" can mean wise, educated, pure, divine, and/or powerful, which could describe anyone who the ancients saw in those terms. Who were the teachers? What if there is more to the story of the Shining Ones? Fairies and Elves (there are Light Elves and Dark Elves) of Celtic mythology have a reference as Shining Ones. Lugh (Pan-Celtic) is called The Shining One and the British Celtic War God Belatucadros is called "fair shining one." Hinduism's devas are called shining ones. The Archangel Michael is referred to as Shining. The list goes on and on. It also appears that many of the Shining Ones also take on other names such as the god Mars, hero gods, the Elohim, the Annunaki, the Watchers, angels, major gods, lesser gods, devas, priests, and prophets. Nonetheless, they were all "helpers" and/or educators of mankind. Although the list of references may be long, again, the Shining Ones by name are not common in the ancient writings, as if they were only present when necessary--perhaps when conditions allowed or spacetime was disrupted. Furthermore, did these Shining Ones actually glow? Doubtful. Perhaps "shining" has dual meanings, depending on the context. Alternatively, what if shining is a misinterpretation? Pale skin, bright or white clothes...Shining One? For example, Lugh of Celtic belief. He had many names. The Shining One; Sun God; God of War; Many Skilled; and FAIR-HAIRED ONE. Belatucadros: FAIR Shining One. The Sumerian Annunaki were supposedly fair-skinned as well. I had an "aha" moment of sorts when I was watching the end of the movie, "Dragonfly." Near the end, Kevin Costner walks into the village where he believes his baby is located. The natives, all small, dark-skinned people, gather around him. That's when my moment happened. Mr. Costner is tall compared to the locals. Tall, fair-skinned, and fair-haired. Even his clothing is light and is, of course, more advanced (clothed to the feet?) than that of those in the jungle. Aha! If someone of our present time were to "appear" in times past, we would be taller. Also, if that person were dressed in light colored clothing, even say, something akin to a pressurized space-type suit (perhaps needed to make it through a spacetime vortex which may be similar to space) or a silver or white Hazmat suit (to prevent "future" germs and/or viruses from spreading to the past), how would the local populace react? Then, the obvious question of what if that person was blonde? If any of these things were present, which, according to legend, myth, and religion they were, then the reaction of the native people would be, at the very least, one of awe, perhaps suspicion, and more likely they would respond by either running away and/or attack. Obviously, in the movie, the locals knew of other people. However, based on images from flyovers of remote villages that have never been in contact with the outside world, the response would be quite different had they never seen an outsider before. full: http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/column.php?id=220369 |
