Course XXVIII - Teaching 7: The Chaldeans

Like two immense rivers that meet and come together, the ancient divine religion of the Atlanteans and the new religion of Vedas meet and flourished in the emerging Aryan race.
To the north-west of Africa, there was an inhospitable and almost uninhabited land.
Like an immense bulk of salt, the very thin sand of the desert was the only owner of that territory, but a new race settled on the eastern border of this desert and later was known by the name of the Medes.
Two great rivers, Euphrates and Tigris, crossed this desert, and lightened and promoted the foundational task of the new inhabitants.
Later the historic destruction of Atlantis will be written down on Chaldean annals under the legend of “God Belos”. God decides to destroy men because of their wickedness and instructs Xisustros to build an ark, to keep in it any good being, and to sail toward the land of Nicir, the promised land of salvation. Titan and Ner, two Chaldean giants, are also glimpses of their knowledge about the Atlanteans, a race of giants.
Because of those fights of the early Chaldeans against the rebellious Nature and roughness of the territory, they deified elements and natural phenomena. But the deepest worship of this people, which would reach a very high level of civilization, is that of life after death, reincarnation and influence of good and evil beings on earth and men.
So, an early Chaldean priest is a magician, who by a perfect vocalization moves away lower spirits and evokes the protection of good spirits.
This deep study of magical arts transform Chaldean priests and Initiates into great chemists and very knowledgeable about the hidden aspect of Nature. They were perfect astronomers since they learnt that any human influence is subject to a stellar and sidereal influence. This is so true that we can see Chaldean temples as great observatories.
Their ancient rectangular temples were called Ziggourats, with three, four or seven superposed floors. They were built on high artificial ridges, and their half-spherical upper storey was a telescopic device of silver and gold. In it was the secret chamber of the Goddess Ishtar, where nobody could enter, except for Great Initiated Priests or those Enlightened beings that were clairvoyants.
Chaldean peoples, early clans constituted for being disciplined and organized, very soon achieved great power and civilization. They did not erect steles of stone or marble like the Egyptians did, but knew how to write down their history on big bricks of clay that survive until our days.
Also they worshipped a Unique God, Zi Ana (God-Creator), Si Kia (humanized God), a redeemer made man, called Great and Sublime Fish.
Enlil is the evil aspect of God, king of shadowy places, of hells and evil.
Chaldeans also knew the religious concept of Trinity, since they dignified Anu, Bel and Ea as one God with three heads.
