Supersize People:Nephilim Bloodline?

[Ned Sonntag]

So suggests Tracy Twyman(one of whose articles I illustrated for PARANOIA Magazine) in an interview on neoJungian blog The Secret Sun----

"If you read the Book of Enoch, and Genesis 6, and The Book of the Cave of Treasures, and all of the accounts of the Nephilim story, it certainly seems like they are talking about spiritual, or perhaps multidimensional beings that can take physical form of a sort in order to interact with humans. When they do they have blazing white skin, eyes like burning coals. They are able to mate sexually with human females, which indicates genetic compatibility, but their children are monstrously huge with enormous and perverse appetites.:eat2: This is described as an aberration resulting from the mating of spirit with matter. Think of the djinn of Arab legend, fallen angels made of fire that mated with human females. They are the ones who followed Iblis (Satan) when he revolted in Heaven.":eek:

[IrishBard]

well, i know i'm part leprechaun, so it can't be that far-fetched.

as far as my Mythology boffism goes, however, I swear that Djinn weren't fallen angels, but a third race of creatures, along with humans and angels, with each having their good and bad.

Hehe, what about the 1/3 of the Heavenly Host that followed Gabriel in revolt against God after the Morningstar lead his followers into Perdition? Sorry, Prophecy moment. ;):D

Nephilim were giants, with one less finger than a normal person. Goliath (David and Goliath) was a Nephilim.

[KHayes666]

Andrew Divoff rules.....nuff ced.

[HollyGirl]

wow that finger thing is nuts.

most of my uncles are almost 7 feet, and one of them was born with 4 fingers on each hand. well wait, that would be 3 fingers and a thumb actually.

Hmmm I just realized yesterday:doh: that my mom claims decent from Charlemagne, and that the Sonntags despite the German name were Alsatians- possibly French-speaking ... so possibly I have a high recombination of Merovingian DNA(Priory of Sion/MaryM.-Jesus ancestry). If I can find an enormous four-fingered cutie to mate with at my advanced age... any offspring might restore the kozmic balance:D.

I thought that nephilim actually had a strong tendency towards polydactylus.

So my delusions of pseudo-divinity aren't entirely without basis.

[HollyGirl]

haha i'm german/french on my moms side and Irish/english on my dads.

the 7 footers are my dads side....

[AlethaBBW]

So my delusions of pseudo-divinity aren't entirely without basis.

No, they're not. And probably genetic, too :D

I have the sun-defying skin part down, anyway.

[candygodiva]

No, they're not. And probably genetic, too :D

Of course you have it darlin', being as you're my blood kin and all. :wubu:
Love ya Cuzin'!
Hugs and CandyKisses

Candy's definitely got the Triple-Helix DNA...

Hehe.. well I wouldn't know about all that. As far as I know, my dna is fairly normal, whatever that is.

If I remember right from Sunday School, the King James Bible (translated from the Latin Vulgate instead of the original texts) says something like, "The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they lay with them or knew them or bought them dinner and from them sprang the Nephilim." Well, it's been a while since I've been to church, but before we jump to conclusions and conclude that SSBBWs are descended from Jesus, we should be also aware of the conclusion that the sons of God were actually powerful kings in the ancient Middle East, the cradle of civilization. For instance, Gilgamesh (in the epic) was a powerful king who made a decree that he got to deflower every virgin girl in the city on her wedding night.

Remember that the epitome me of beauty was a far cry from a size 0 back then (we've all seen the early fertility goddesses, I assume; the big London museum near Russell Square has some good ones that aren't famous), and remember that children of superstars, probably through media pressure, tend to keep a conventionally pretty figure (mind you, I realize that recently, the figures of Mia Tyler, Beth Ditto, and that singer from American Idol challenge this). Anyway, under this logic, SSBBWs are descended from ancient Sumerian or Ur kings getting happy with the city maidens, which must be the first celebrity unions in recorded history. Which leads me to another question. If SSBBWs are the female descendents of this perverse union, are the males really huge, too? or do they end up being more like Ned?

The elements of this accounting of the "Nephilim" sounds like a composite of several elements from "The 12th Planet" by Zecharia Sitchin. According to the stories inscribed upon clay cylinders of the Sumerians, decoded by Sitchin, the Nephilim were the elder Gods from a "rogue" planet that was in a hyperextended oblique orbit of our solar system, with an orbital period around 3600 years. He contends that our Bible is a distorted translation of this information. Sitchin's assertion is that the Nefilim (Sitchin's spelling) had lost the power to reproduce naturally, and that their offspring, the Annunaki, were essentially test tube babies. He continues that the Annunaki are what we interpret as Angels, and were recorded as having sexual relations with the creation of the Nefilim, humans. He asserts that the Annunaki had lesser social status than the Nefilim, and were thus charged with the mining of gold and other mineral commodities of Earth that were needed by the Nefilim to purify their contaminated atmosphere. The Annunaki became dissatisfied and asked their elders to create a beast of burden with the capacity to speak and understand spoken words. Hence the eventual creation of the "Adama" (Man). The Nefilim, according to the writings, were far from perfect, and warred amongst themselves, and one particular conflict seems to sound an awful lot like the "Satan being cast out of heaven" scenario. It has to make you wonder if a lot of the worst of human personality traits might have an origin in the Nefilim and were part of the "genetic upgrade" that was imposed upon the resident man-apes to create humans being as we currently know them. It would be equally interesting to speculate that the evolution of genetic engineering, which seems to be currently upon us through human scientific ambition, would be capable of eliminating the negative health aspects of obesity, and the consequences of other supposedly deadly sins. The Nefilim seemed to have jealosy, vanity, arrogance and other "human" personality defects that propel some of humanity's worst behavior. Recent developments in not only genetic engineering, but the underlying scientific mechanisms of health entropy and healing seem to suggest that we may be able (relatively soon) to be able to achieve relative immortality, and actually engineer our species, perhaps even eliminating some of those negative personality traits. What will happen to us socially when poor health and other consequences of our "vices" will be eliminated and no longer propel the arguments against our indulgences? I offer this as an interesting contemplation.
