GREAT DEITY & ‘HALF-CHILD’ IN LODA MYTHOS
Erle Frayne D. Argonza
Returning to his home, he found his brother eating his dinner, and the latter said to him, "Well, brother, you look very beautiful!" "Yes," said Half-Child, "the deity, granted me to be even as you are." Then his elder brother asked, "Is the god far away?" and the other replied, "No, he is not far, for I was able to reach him easily." The elder brother at once went up to see the divinity, and when asked why he had come, he said that he wished to be made as handsome as his younger brother. The deity replied, "No, you are now just as you ought to be, and must remain so"; but since the other would not be satisfied, at length the god said, "Well, go to that pool there and bathe; but you must not do so unless you see a dog (i. e. the image or reflection of a dog) in it, in which case you must bathe with a piece of white cloth tied round your neck." So the elder brother went to the pool, tied a piece of cloth around his neck, and bathed, and behold! he was turned into a dog with a white mark around his throat; whereupon he returned to this world and found his brother, Half-Child, at dinner. "Alas!" said the younger brother, "I told you not to go, but you would do so, and now see what has become of you!" and he added, "Here, my brother, you must always remain under my table and eat what falls from it."
REFLECTION
The process of
anthropogenesis in the mythos curiously seems like processes in the Initiation
of a disciple into Adeptship. One begins with a stage of ‘half-child’ and then
mutates into a ‘full child’. Surely intriguing a mythos.
Going to the start of the
narrative, it narrates first of the sexed humans of the mid-Lemurian aegis
(‘man and woman’). They ‘lived by a river’, referring to the hydrological
societies of antiquity who thrived on water systems. That was when humans were
still a bit higher in vibratory frequency than today.
Those ancients were still
in touch with the higher dimensions, signified by the ‘garden’. That is the
same ‘garden of Eden’
in Semitic myth. The ancients described bred two (2) races, the first and
second. The second race evolved at a time of a great flood, which refers to
possible polar shift and consequent inundations in antiquity.
‘Half child’ signifies the
gross state that happened to the affected race. They were of incomplete
breeding and enculturation, and so were described as ‘half child’. Yet they
were able to restore their looks and even looked handsome, which indicates the
recovery of culture and relative civility after the flood.
The ancients were also in
touch with the great deity, which is another indicator of their access to
higher dimension then. Their paranormal faculties were pretty much working, in
other words.
The narrative ends with
the other race becoming a slave of those who recovered from the trauma of the
floods. The earlier race or ethnicities turned out to be primitive, ‘became a
dog’ which signifies their docility and tendency
for subordination to a more cultured group.
