Legend of Baloi: the esoteric level (3)
L M Leteane | Friday March 17, 2017 16:36
To briefly recap, at the exoteric level, i.e. at the visible, discernible level (which level is not well-understood either, by-and-large) we determined that baloi are extremely ancient, pale-skinned flesh-and-blood humanoids who had the technology to escape planetary cataclysm after cataclysm, only to later descend on their awed, now-primitive hominid cousins and call themselves ma-Illui, the Eloi, ‘the Shining/ Illuminated Ones’, the ‘gods, i.e. the gud (good/superior) ones’.
Indeed, the base-word mo-illu (mollo) means ‘fire/light-giver’. In 2024 BC, in the time of Abraham, as a way to ease the intense rivalry between two of their leaders – Su-en/Sin (also called At-en, or Ad-on) and Marduk (Baal) – they came up with the most daring scheme imaginable: to banish the concept of ‘gods’ and instead come together and play God Himself.
This audacious scheme is the main reason why they ordained that we must never fully discover their long, bloody and nefarious role in the affairs of humankind. But humankind has never forgotten these wizards of old, and to this day we remember their ‘magic’ (that is, their advanced technology) as bo-loi, ‘the way of the Loi’. In Hebrew syntax, ma-Illui is Eloi-ma (thus, ‘Elohim’), just as mo-Ata (‘Procreating One’) is Ata-mo (Adam) in Hebrew…so-named because the ‘snake’ Enki ‘betrayed the gods’ by turning him from an infertile hybrid into a fertile man against the wishes of his arch-rival, Enlil.
Of course most Batswana – whose ancient protolanguage reveals many things – still fail to connect the ‘uncanny’ similarity between ‘Eloi-m’ and ‘mo-Loi’ and view it as merely coincidental…shame! But it is no wonder; this is Forbidden History never to be taught in schools. But as I seek only truth, let me leap straight into ‘forbidden territory’
At the esoteric level, we concerned ourselves with another brand of baloi: those who wielded real magic – the ability to bend the Laws of Physics and Nature. Here we don’t mean mere technology or tricks/illusions masquerading as ‘magic’. As things stand, this is the only concept of ba-loi we now understand.
But last week we noted that real magic is merely using powers natural to another dimension of existence lying beyond our electromagnetic spectrum; beyond the detection of our best instruments.
In pre-Marconi days, this would have been laughed out of all serious scientific discussion…yet now we take it for granted that there are pictures and sounds that can easily go through walls, travel so fast that they can bring us the sights and sounds of New York in almost real-time. Back then, we would have been accused of ‘dabbling with spirits’ and promptly burnt as ‘witches’!
But now we know that ‘an unseen dimension of reality’ can and does exist. Another thing we noted, that was tied to this very question of a ‘spirit dimension’, is whether we have an immortal soul or not. Although almost all believe that our Life is the very ‘breath of God’ in us, and that God does not die, many, like Jehovah’s Witnesses and Christadelphians, insist that we do not have a ‘spirit body’ within us that can live independently of the body.
However, instead of arguing against this from the point of view of scripture…or even logic (e.g. if the body has decayed, or was eaten up by a crocodile, yet one’s Soul cannot live without it, has the soul really ‘died’ if it can be awakened at ‘Resurrection Day’?
Where was it all the time…inside the crocodile as part of its digested nutrients?), we took the step of looking at solid, practical evidence instead, citing one of many credible Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs) related by ordinary people who were clinically dead for some minutes – see last week’s article. And as I am about to prove, one of the most credible of these comes straight out of Tswana legend.
It is well known that whereas Western witches reputedly ‘fly with [the aid of ] a broomstick’, ours ‘fly with [the aid of] a needle’. Why this difference; what does a broomstick and a needle have in common? Not many have discerned this, but both had an ‘eye’. What eye?
The Setswana ‘eye of the needle’ is in fact better known because that is where thread goes through, but the broomstick ‘eye’, I have determined, was because European women used to fashion a hole near the base of the stick, through which they could hang the broomstick on a nail driven through the wall or door of the hut.
This hole, this ‘eye’, then became an occult metaphor for the so-called ‘Third Eye’, or ‘Single Eye’, that is reputedly positioned unseen on the forehead, between the natural eyes. Yes, but what is the use of this Eye…should we even know about it? Isn’t anything ‘occult’ evil as well?
To properly respond, we would need to first consider this. What does ‘occult’ mean in Setswana protolanguage terms? If anything ‘occult’ was evil, why did Jesus say “If thine Eye be single, thy whole body be full of light’? (Matthew 6:9, original King James Version only – subsequently obfuscated to “if thine eye be clear (or good)’…a desperate, retroactive, distortive twist of an archaic meaning of ‘single’ long disused before King James’ time; it once meant ‘unequivocal, unwavering, not of two minds’). What about a ‘camel (kamal: thick rope)…[going] through the eye of the needle’ if one wished to enter Heaven? (Matthew 19:23-24) Next week we see how our own baloi could thread through this Eye, ‘fly’ within an ethereal plane that lies between the first of Seven Heavens (i.e. the so-called ‘Astral world’) and the Material plane, and see things we would never dream of seeing…
