LEMURIA & ANTHROPOGENESIS IN TAGALOG CREATION
MYTHOS
Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra
The Creation Story - Tagalog
When the world first began
there was no land, but only the sea and the sky, and between them was a kite (a
bird something like a hawk). One day the bird which had nowhere to light grew
tired of flying about, so she stirred up the sea until it threw its waters
against the sky. The sky, in order to restrain the sea, showered upon it many
islands until it could no longer rise, but ran back and forth. Then the sky
ordered the kite to light on one of the islands to build her nest, and to leave
the sea and the sky in peace.
Now at this time the land breeze and the
sea breeze were married, and they had a child which was a bamboo. One day when
this bamboo was floating about on the water, it struck the feet of the kite
which was on the beach. The bird, angry that anything should strike it, pecked
at the bamboo, and out of one section came a man and from the other a woman.
Then the earthquake called on all the
birds and fish to see what should be done with these two, and it was decided
that they should marry. Many children were born to the couple, and from them
came all the different races of people.
After a while the parents grew very tired
of having so many idle and useless children around, and they wished to be rid
of them, but they knew of no place to send them to. Time went on and the children
became so numerous that the parents enjoyed no peace. One day, in desperation,
the father seized a stick and began beating them on all sides.
This so frightened the children that they
fled in different directions, seeking hidden rooms in the house -- some
concealed themselves in the walls, some ran outside, while others hid in the
fireplace, and several fled to the sea.
Now it happened that those who went into
the hidden rooms of the house later became the chiefs of the islands; and those
who concealed themselves in the walls became slaves. Those who ran outside were
free men; and those who hid in the fireplace became negroes; while those who
fled to the sea were gone many years, and when their children came back they
were the white people.
REFLECTION
I already wrote articles
about the Tagalog creation mythos, which I will reprint in this piece. In the
version above, the ‘kite’ is mentioned as the bird involved in the making of
humans, while is another version it was the ‘dove’. A slight difference, although
the Dove is more potent a symbol as signifier of the Father Deity.

TAGALOG CREATION MYTH: SCIENCE OF
BIRTHING REVEALED
Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra
Let
me bring you another folk lore from the Malays: the creation myth of the
Tagalogs. Tagalogs are the ethnic groups of Luzon island in the Philippines,
from whose dialect came forth the foundations of the national language of
Filipino.
Tagalog
is a coinage of Taga Ilog, literally meaning “from the river.” The river in the
term is a referent for the hydrological societies that pervaded the Philippine
archipelago prior to the advent of western imperialism and colonialism.
A
nation richly endowed with folklore, with myths and legends, the Philippines
counts among its popular lores the myth of ‘Malakas and Maganda’. Literally, it
translates as ‘myth of Strong (Malakas) and Beautiful (Maganda).’
The
myth goes that there was once a bamboo floating listlessly by the oceans. The
bamboo finally ceased to float as it landed on a coast in the Philippines. As it did so, a white
dove flying above descended on the bamboo and pecked it accordingly. The bamboo
then split, and out came Malakas and Maganda. The Filipinos are their
descendants.
A
very ancient narrative, the mythos is, to my mind, a repository of a science
that was already known in the ancient times: the science of birthing. Such a
science was eventually lost, as the end of the ice age inundated land masses,
sunk continental chunks of lands, and led to a dark age of sorts.
Despite
the retreat of civilization after the end of the last glacial period, the
survivors found ample means to preserve the knowledge and information that they
could preserve through folklore (myths & legends). Let’s take the
signifiers one by one.
·
Let’s take the
case of the sea/ocean first of all. The water in the seas is a signifier for
the amniotic fluid inside the mother’s womb. In the womb is, of course, the
ovum which is a facility for birthing.
·
The bamboo,
with its nodes, long and pliant, is signifier for the DNA/genes. It is
unimaginable to create humans without the genetic vehicle for their making, the
vehicle being no other than the DNA.
·
The dove is a
bird. The bird is signifier for ‘desire’ and the phallus as well. Both desire
and phallus are key biological facilities in creating life forms. The bird
pecking the bamboo signifies the procreation act.
·
From inside
the bamboo, one presumably finds the masculine (Malakas) and feminine (Maganda)
elements or identities. Which is what it is: both masculine and feminine genes
are already inherently present in the DNA.
·
Having both a
Malakas (masculine) and a Maganda (feminine) in one space, co-equal, refers to
the law of duality. The DNA has two (2) strands, gender has two identities
(male, female), and so on.
·
The soil, as
indicated by the coast, signifies the elements of the Earth. All such elements
are present in the human body. Without such elements, without biological matter
containing such elements, babies can’t be produced. Soil is matter, from the
Latin word ‘mater’ or matter, as it is also the feminine element (mother,
mater).
That
Malakas and Maganda simultaneously came out together from the same bamboo
signifies the gender equality among the ancient Malays. Patriarchy was alien to
the Malays, who were among the last subraces of the Atlantean ‘root race’ to
evolve in history.
Patriarchy
was largely imposed from the outside: from Islam it was imposed upon southern
Filipinos, from Christianity unto Northern Filipinos. Indians and Chinese also
migrated to the islands, introducing their brand of patriarchy.
Yet
no matter how much tons of debris may have buried the ancient ways of the
Tagalogs/Filipinos, they were not totally buried after all. One only needs to
mine their folklores, of which volumes of documentation works were already
published, to be able to extract and unveil hidden truths.
As
I’ve been saying all along, the contributions of Malays to the Teaching (‘God’s
Word, higher mysteries) are found more in their folklores rather than their
scriptures. Malayan scriptures are Islamic, Buddhist, and Christian, or
impositions from outside. Folklores are originally their creative production,
and are repositories of High Knowledge and wisdom. Such a thesis is exemplified
by the Tagalog creation myth.

TAGALOG CREATION MYTH: LEMURIAN &
COSMIC REVELATIONS
Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra
Magandang
araw! Good day! Buenos dias!
This
time around, I’ll share to you the cosmic-galactic facet of the Tagalog
creation myth. As I’ve already elaborated elsewhere, the Malays (of whom
Tagalogs form a part of) were created by a cross-galactic race (light-skinned)
from out of the Lemurian descendants (dark-skinned), thus producing a tanned
race that was lighter than the Lemurians.
Being
a new breed then of Pacificians (from the Pacific Ocean),
the Malays belonged squarely to the last races of the Atlantean ‘root race’
(see H.P. Blavatsky’s Secret Doctrine).
They were bred almost at the same time as the White race that was a hybrid of
light-skinned cross-galactic humans and the red-skinned Atlanteans.
To
go back to the Tagalog creation myth, let me quote from a previous article:
“The myth goes that there was once a bamboo floating listlessly by the oceans.
The bamboo finally ceased to float as it landed on a coast in the Philippines.
As it did so, a white dove flying above descended on the bamboo and pecked it
accordingly. The bamboo then split, and out came Malakas and Maganda. The
Filipinos are their descendants.” (See “Tagalog Creation Myth: Science of
Birthing Revealed.”)
That
being the synopsis of the mythos, let me re-stress that it is a coded message
about the birthing of the Tagalogs/Malays. This time, the cosmic-galactic facet
will be taken as the paradigm base. Let me take up the signifiers (code items)
one by one:
- Ocean/sea
mystically refers to the unconscious or ‘causal plane’ element. That was
where the ‘bamboo’ came from, to note. It means the awareness level of the
Malays and their breeders corresponded to that level (7th
Density at least) before the descent of humanity to its low 3rd
Density level today.
- Ocean also
indicates the mass inundation of the Earth after the end of the glacial
period. The last of Lemuria’s subcontinents sank across time as the ice
caps melted and elevated the seawaters to much higher levels.
- The ‘bamboo’ is
referent for DNA as a whole, which is almost similar with the previous
interpretation. This time though, note that DNA in the higher dimension is
different, as it has more strands (12) than biological DNA (2).
- Inside the bamboo
are the two prospect gender, male and female. The Yin and Yang. Duality in
One. Indeed, even the soul of a human has both masculine and feminine
elements. So is the DNA, whether higher or lower dimension type.
- Bamboo floating in
the ocean/seas also signifies the attempts by the survivors of the
post-glacial deluge to survive via floaters. Much like Noah’s floater.
Noah was in fact of Lemurian roots, and produced a branch of tribes that
would settle later in Western Asia. The
same floaters brought survivors to lands that emerged after the floods
receded, lands in the Pacific Ocean (including the Philippines).
- From the
ocean/seas, it landed in the coast. Soil signifies matter, as well as the
maternal element (matter is Latin ‘mater’ or mother). It also signifies
the physical plane, with the element of solidity (earth element) is
dominantly marked.
- A dove, white in
hue, signifies the Galactic humans and their space vehicle. The myth
reveals that the same Galactic breeders experimented on a new race. Quite
observably, the same breeders or ‘creators’ used the species of humans
already present then, who birthed through sexual procreation means (male
and female in sexual intercourse). The earlier Lemurians were oviparous
(egg-laying), while the latter were sexual in pro-creation.
- The dove landed on
the shores, as one can see. This means the Galactic creators, who came
from the Air above (air is 6th Density or mental plane), had to
descend to a lower dimension to be able to breed the Malays. Terrans were
originally 5th Density in habitat, so it makes sense that the
light-hued creators had to descend at least one Density lower from their
domain.
- The dove pecked the
bamboo. This could mean that the creator race was also sexual in breeding
or sort of, and it is possible that they actually pro-created with the
Lemurian descendants. Otherwise, the new breed could have been created
through laboratory means, which could also be possible.
- Malakas and Maganda
came out of the bamboo. Obviously, two (2) genders were involved as
products of the breeding. And both of the genders were involved in
birthing the ancient Tagalogs/Malays, who would later be among the chief
tribes of the Filipino nation.
The
Lemurians could have exercised gender equality, as indicated by the mythos.
From the Lemurian descendants to the proto-Malays, the same cultural trait was
disseminated. When the Moslems and Spaniards arrived in the islands, they
discovered the prevalence of such a sociocultural trait among the islanders.
In
closing, let me re-echo a thesis declared in a previous article: “As I’ve been
saying all along, the contributions of Malays to the Teaching (‘God’s Word,
higher mysteries) are found more in their folklores rather than their scriptures.
Malayan scriptures are Islamic, Buddhist, and Christian, or impositions from
outside. Folklores are originally their creative production, and are
repositories of High Knowledge and wisdom. Such a thesis is exemplified by the
Tagalog creation myth.” (See “Tagalog Creation Myth: Science of Birthing
Revealed.”)
