Heart of Creating

Heart of Creating Heartle. It’s why God made me .. and for me He made my siblings and my parents and extended family, my neighbors and friends all over the world. This goes back many millions of years1.
This heart logic states that intelligent life has existed many thousands, millions and possibly even billions of years2, and this also includes physical evidence. Heavenly Parent left nothing to chance. Like a multi-dimensional puzzle it all fits in - incredibly so. There has been nothing random in creation.
Heart precedes logic. Intellectual logic is 3-dimensional. Heart logic has many dimensions. This is because science which often gives cold, shallow answers to life’s questions, can’t perceive the depths of heart. Einstein hinted at this3. Today science has an agenda. Scientists work under tight criteria which often have nothing to do with science. Disproven theories guide academia. Facts and evidence should guide theories. Academia makes evidence fit their theories, rejecting if not outright throwing away other evidence. There are reasons the powers-that-be control information and knowledge. They call it stability for their sake; a control mechanism.

God4; that gift was left for humans alone. We have intellect, emotion & will. We’ve been made to create. God won’t interfere in the creation process, something we, His highest creation, were given the faculty to do. God feeds us with ideas, dreams; creative energy. The Kingdom of Heaven is made in our image5, not God’s. We each have a different character and personality. What each one of us creates is a unique reflection of our being. Harmony and beauty lies in our diversity, all centered on heart, as we see in Principle.
Principle states that things take time to grow and develop6; this logically includes mankind and all our tributes, intellect, emotion & will, something we can perceive while raising our children. Arguably we are the latest and highest form of creation, seen not from intellect but from heart point-of-view. Only we humans have the third blessing, dominion7.
Questions of our roots An important question remains in our study of history and anthropology. What do we make of traditions, myths, stories given to us as heritage that has passed down over millennia from remote ancestors? Were they stories we could or should accept at face value, or with a grain of salt, maybe? The problem is that much flies in the face of 21st century formally recognized science, etc.
Many societies and tribes around the world have corroborating stories that uncannily mirror each other. These are peoples that supposedly never 4 DP 3-color. Pg 46 6.2 ‘The universe does not of itself have internal sensibility toward God.’

Many news articles dating back into the 19th century speak of giants12, similar to what we read in the Bible. Many more hard to believe in our present day understanding of history stories came down to us. Did early mankind globally have parallel experiences or did they all have incredibly similar imagination, and thus myths. For example,

we know today of many global stories which are similar to the Noah and the ark13 account found in the Bible.
Bible settings The Bible story was originally put together in a part of the world which also had its myths, traditions and ideas of our beginnings. For the most part there were the Sumerian and other later Mesopotamian texts14, among which included the story of Gilgamesh15, which later were inherited and reinterpreted by the Akkadians, Babylonians & Assyrians, all in the Mesopotamian area. These preceded the oldest Old Testament books by hundreds of years16. A good case can be made, for example, of the very names used at the start of biblical creation. Eden, Adam, etc which are borrowed in name and concept from the earlier Mesopotamian stories17. Were they also inspired by God to use the same terms?
We can look from another direction and see that other ideas integral to biblical writings came from Babylon at the time the Israeli elite were taken captive. Over the following generations, where they were not openly allowed to follow their beliefs and traditions, they encountered a world where angels and gods permeated the local culture and traditions. The following generations could hardly escape absorbing and integrating them into their beliefs. Israelites were held captive up to 210 years18. Much changes in that

18 DP 3-color. Pg 331 the chart indicates the Israelis suffered 210 year of captivity in Babylon before their return.
For the elite captives, oral Israeli traditions mixed with the Zoroastrian culture19. This included angel belief, hell and other ideas. The one God Abraham believed in and for which he was blessed with descendants greater in number than the number of stars in the sky20, was sullied by angel worship and adoration. Heavenly Father now had to cohabitate with fantasy in the minds of His chosen people; those who previously were fully dedicated to the single God.
Sumerian texts Sumerian culture makes up the major part of the Bible background. Confusion exists in the Holy Book, for example, when God talks in terms of we, as in let’s make them in our image21. We’ve seen before22 that there are no angels; they’re myth. Then, where did this come from? There was not yet a holy trinity concept.
Sumerians had unique stories; the very stories we see in the Bible. The Bible reinterpreted these stories with eye to building an identity and teaching restoration principles among the Israelites. As we said earlier, Sumerian tales tell of intelligent beings creating us, beings that lived hundreds of thousands or even millions of years before, possibly more. They have stories that we can interpret as being prototype to the story of the Fall23. Given the

mythological nature of these stories, it’s virtually impossible to date events. We might also connect these stories to what finally was written as Bible; what we have today.
The biblical eye for eye in Exodus 21:23-2424 can be traced directly to Hammurabi25.
Did God inspire the Bible? Did God inspire the use of angels? Did God inspire Zoroaster and Mithras before the Bible compilers to worship angels and gods? Did God inspire the use of Hammurabi’s laws?
Who made us? The question then becomes, who made us? Few minds in the 21st century can wrap their minds around the fact that if there was a God then someone other than He / She would make us humans. Other people sincerely think we evolved from apes a mere 60,000 years ago; all this with evidence showing that there were intelligent beings walking the earth even hundreds of thousands of years ago. What gives?
How can people stomach that we were made by other intelligent beings when we can’t even create simple life today; we’re also supposed to be Heaven’s highest creation. Someone other than God made us26?
Beings from far away Sumerian / Mesopotamian stories take us back to a time when beings from lands distant from the earth or even to our solar system came and inhabited the earth. To facilitate their arduous mining job of digging for gold, an

element they needed for their survival, they created beings27. This creation process took place over long periods, and like all other creations, humans evolved, got better. For a time the creation evidently met with their leaders’ approval until Enlil, the top god decided to cause the flood, destroying mankind simply because they became too noisy28. During this time our makers kept tight reins on us, their creations. They were not about to lose dominion over us. We were a good creation..too good. We multiplied and over time became a problem for them to control. The Principle quotes the Bible29 ‘because the earth was filled with violence’.
In all these stories there’s a transition we are missing, not clear about. These creators turned out to make a being ‘higher’ than themselves. God blessed their creation to be so. This creation was mankind. The creation of their slaves or servants was in fact the creation of mankind. I.E., they created something which they later understood would be their bosses, leaders, etc. God included an element in their creation - us - that our incredibly intelligent makers were missing: heart. This made us God’s chosen children. (See footnote #7). Nevertheless, there must have been a kernel of similarity that would make us of the same species as they were able to procreate; a similarity even hominids shared.
In the midst of all this Mesopotamian history there’s the story of gods going

into women - in plural30. This is precisely the story of the Fall which later would be redacted or reinterpreted as a single serpent (an angel that fell), Adam & Eve and the Garden of Eden31.
There was a sense of morality that had come down from ages past and was planted in the Bible. Man’s original mind was kick-started. God was moving in. Who had this understanding? Prophets? Would-be messiahs that Heavenly Father sent but couldn’t fulfill but left bits of restoration understanding?
Who are these beings? Starting with the premise these beings, Nephilim, ETs, Anunnaki or whatever name we give them, did make us then we need to understand them. Also, if they made mankind then did they also make other life? How developed were they? As I said earlier, why would God get involved in creating when He made His children for that purpose? It’s where we get joy, feel purpose and accomplishment.
Internally speaking, these are our brothers and sisters, our elders. Like all mankind, they’re in need of Heavenly Parents and True Parents. We need to

31 There’s an interesting point I won’t elaborate on here which mentions that the women were not raped but willingly acceded to requests. The women, I believe were to keep a pure race, not interbreed. We can see this line of purity idea come down through restoration history. The Israelites were to keep a pure race. Then Christians then Unificationist were to keep their sexual purity. Early blessed couples were to marry only among Koreans. The original humans were also to stay among their own. This is where I see the source of Eve eating the fruit comes from. It was her position to keep her race pure.
include them in our lives as we do all humans.
Man’s evolving relationship with God The mentality mankind developed initially was not one of seeking God, much less one of building a father-child relationship. We were created and educated as slaves. We started our existence with a slave mentality. When in the Principle we read that we started our restoration course from the servant of servant position32, here’s the setting where our heart development started. The Old Testament started from a very heartistically low position because that’s the reality they lived.
This brings us to an important question, why didn’t Heavenly Father forgive Adam & Eve? True Parents said God would’ve forgiven Adam & Eve had they repented33. There’s lots of repent talk in the Bible, yet we don’t see this in Adam & Eve. They didn’t. Couldn’t? Thus, God couldn’t forgive them. It was a prerequisite. Otherwise we would not read all these calls to repentance.

•. Quotes in DP. We see lots of repentance urging throughout the Bible for God’s forgiveness. Adam & Eve never did; we see no record of it. God could not forgive so unconditionally, Satan was watching. (There was a direct quote in one of Father’s speeches I cannot find).
•. Sun Myung Moon. Circa 1983. God wanted to forgive Adam and Eve, but He was not in the position to forgive them, because they were in no state to be forgiven. http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon83/SunMyungMoon-830002.htm. God’s Providence in the Scriptures.
As we can see it is easier for God to borrow from local culture and start the restoration process than to inspire new ideas. It’s the path of least resistance. Religion borrowed from pagan holidays, for example, and built holidays centering on God using the same celebrated days, a path to restore the fallen world. Physical world reality is easy to work with. God works with results34, what’s at hand. December 25 is when we celebrate Jesus’s birthday. It was originally a Roman pagan holiday.
The concept of rebirth was not there at first. Love of a single God was not a concept. Obedience, respect, worship was what the then gods (human overlords) demanded, in that age of ubiquitous gods. Myth slowly crept into religion, undermining the re-tying of our relationship with God. Ms. Kim on pg 5 (3)35 of an essay says ‘Zoroaster did not altogether disentangle his belief in the Wise Lord to whom supreme allegiance is due, from his inherited belief in a number of other spirits.’ This was what the captive Israelites were to include after 210 years captivity into their beliefs. (See footnote 18).
A personal parent-child relationship with Heavenly Father was slowly to evolve, going through many obstacles while overcoming Satan’s world. Other gods would compete with the one true God. Angel worship too was vying for a position of worship and adoration in human minds next to or even before God. It’s a satanic intrusion. God is a jealous God. Heavenly Father will accept wherever we’re at spiritually, but that’s only the point where He begins the pure, complete retying process; it’s not the final goal.
Creating vs giving life Mounting evidence exists that highly intelligent beings existed in the universe
34 DP pg 233 ‘God does not interfere with a persons efforts to fulfill his portion of responsibility, but treats him according to the results of his actions.’ ‘Yet God did not interfere at all in their faith, but dealt with them only based on the results of their deeds.’

and on this earth millions or even billions of years ago; we can argue they are our brothers and sisters. This further indicates that Heavenly Father was eager to see the perfection of His culminating creation, His children. As True Parents started out as a couple then soon spread the blessing to millions of people, so they’ll include the Nephilim, part of the angelic world True Parents have to restore. In the meantime there is still a long winding road ahead for Heavenly Parents to see His creation perfected. One day we’ll get true stories from the creators themselves. How did they manage to get God, Heavenly Father to give life?
It would seem we can finally ask the question that would make the world cringe: did God create or did God give life? Did other beings create us and then God give life to their creation who they then mated with and procreated? A kernel of similarity must have existed. If Principle states that there is growth and development then is it logical to ask if these same beings made all life on earth, from the first cells in the waters of the oceans, etc.? There must have been a long series of trials and errors. Strange stories of giants, cyclops, centaurs, etc. may not have been just tales.
Conclusion Heavenly Father has suffered far longer than the 6,000 biblical or even the 60,000 Darwinian years that have been imposed on us to believe. Some studies put estimates of human history age even in the many millions or billions of years. Did Heavenly Father see over step by step creation as highly intelligent beings, of course also His children, developed life? It took many lessons learnt over long periods of time through much trial and error to finally create His dream, Adam & Eve, mankind. They must have followed scientific principles. We are the highest, most evolved so as to have dominion over all.
If what Sumerian / Mesopotamian texts say is true, then these ET creations, mankind, and the ETs themselves mated, creating offspring. This was the Fall, but it also shows how we were made, as the Bible says ‘in their image’. 11
The story goes that we were created with our Full human potential severed. We were to be made with huge potential which today we don’t show; our DNA shows that we could be much more than we are today, possibly its’s the junk DNA we all carry!? Old, 6000 year old Mesopotamian stories seem to tell the story.
In the end, what is important? Is it that the Bible have been inspired by God, or is it believing that our Heavenly Parents are working through the Bible, warts and all? It makes the Bible less mysterious or exotic, but it gives us an idea of Heavenly Father’s struggling Heart to achieve perfected children. How long and hard did God have to work to finally bring True Parents to mankind. God works according to results, and He has worked through the Bible. He’s never abandoned us, His children nor His ideal for our perfection. It’ll be His perfection, too.
Sumerian and other stories have no dating. These could be hundreds of thousands of years old or even millions or more. They lack connections to other myths such as giants, etc, giving us very incomplete puzzles. Much evidence also exists that other beings coexisted with modern man. Many will deny it because it doesn’t fit a neat growth, developmental pattern. It’s where part of Heavenly Father’s aching Heart comes in. If there had not been a Fall, Fallen beings would not have existed. Look at them as deformed relatives. They have mind, heart, consciousness, etc. They were gypped out of their dignified life.
