Genesis 11: 5-9

This passage from Genesis about the Tower of Babel seems strange, fascinating and disconnected, somehow. I believe that the Divine Couple are Creators, Artists, Mechanics and Individuators. They are not anti-technology and heaven would be more like a small city with lots of greenery and parks, than a raw desert or rain forest. The Divine Couple would not punish humans for building a city and tower to reach heaven. Rather, they would punish humans for not even trying to build a Tower of Babel. Still, the Bible is filled with God's thoughts, wisdom and wishes, despite incongruous stories like the Tower of Babel. I cannot explain its inconsistencies and contradictions away, but just accept it on faith that the Bible is one of the greatest holy books ever, written or inspired by the Almighty. Notice in the passage quoted below by me from The New American Bible that the Lord came down to earth to see the city of Babel and the tower that men had built. Obviously, the earth was once so God-friendly that God would walk among humans, even when upset with them. If the religion of Mavellonialism catches on, and millions become living angels, perhaps the Mother and the Father once again will walk among us, like in the olden days: "The Lord came down to see the city and the tower that men had built. Then the Lord said: 'If now while they are one people, all speaking the same language, they had started to do this, nothing will later stop them from doing whatever they presume to do. Let us then go down and there confuse their language, so that one will not understand what another says. Thus, the Lord scattered them from there all over the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel, because the Lord confused the speech of all the world. It was from that place that he scattered them all over the world. " My response: According to the pastoral prophet that wrote this piece, people working together to build cites, towers, and a secular culture were vying dangerously with God, and such evil must be prevented, and its adherents slapped down fully and immediately. By eliminating their single language, their speaking many tongues forced them to disperse and settle away from each other all over the globe. Thus, God's power and authority were save, and God could not be overthrown by humans on the make, getting beyond where they should have been. It is the followers of Satan and Lera that lives in villages and in nature, that do not individuate and self-realize and individual-live in cities and suburbs, building a powerful, rich, free industrial culture and civilization. This is a strange story. Here is the same passage from the Holy Bible (KJV): "And the Lord came down to see the city and tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they all have one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confuse the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." My response: it occurred to me that implicitly this make the connection between understanding--especially mutual understanding between disparate people--and clear, communicable language shared by all interested parties. For where language and communication are not shared, there can be no clarity, no understanding, no human progress. Without common langauge humans cannot organize, work together and do great things, all goals which the Divine Couple are in favor of and cherish. The divine objective is not to hold people down and back, but to instill in them the skills, coopartive training and confidence to build that city and that tower all the way to heaven, not to chalenge and war with God, but to extend the heavenly kingdome all over the earth and up into the statosphere to connect with the palace of the pleased Divinities.
