S2E19: Beyond Enki

I have just arrived in the magnificent city of Babylon to visit my dear daughter Inanna. Upon my arrival, I was informed by the human woman Sarpanitu that Inanna had stepped out for a meeting.

While this was not unusual, something about Sarpanitu’s demeanor struck me as odd. She seemed nervous, almost fearful, as if hiding something. My curiosity was piqued. I gently pressed Sarpanitu for more information, but she remained tight-lipped.

Not one to be easily deterred, I set about discreetly asking questions of the palace staff, both Anunnaki and Humans… Piece by piece, a worrying picture began to emerge. According to multiple accounts, Inanna had been sneaking out of the palace every weekend for months now, always to the same secret location, and always accompanied by a mysterious human man.

This revelation filled me with grave concern. Inanna is set to play a pivotal role in the next phase of our mission here on Earth. Her focus must remain clear. Yet she seems to be risking everything over this clandestine affair. I fear she is losing sight of her greater purpose… but in all honesty, she is greatly unaware of the details of her role to come.

Enlil is getting uncontrollable… Moreover, our relations with the humans remain precarious. This liaison could upset the delicate balance we have worked so hard to achieve. Inanna should know better than to endanger all we have built here. I must speak with her urgently and make her see reason, before her recklessness jeopardizes everything we have sacrificed for. The fate of two worlds now hangs in the balance.

And again SHE was right in the end…
I let my concern get the better of me for a moment. You control only what is under your control. As Inanna’s mother, I know her heart is true, even if her actions seem misguided.
While an affair with a human is unwise, who am I to judge what the heart wants? Did I not once feel the same for her father Enki, against all reason? Perhaps she sees something in this man I cannot. Her instincts have always been sharp.

And yet, the timing could not be worse. In mere days, the Council of the Anunnaki meets by Enlil’s special request. Inanna’s voice will be critical if the vote is to go our way. I fear this distraction may cloud her judgment when we need it clear.
Moreover, my own path ahead is darkening. I have been summoned away on a long voyage to the depths of the Seven Sisters. It is a journey from which I may not return. That is why I came here – to bid my daughter farewell, for what may be the last time.

Now I may depart with so much unspoken between us. I must see Inanna before I go. We have always been open with one another. I will appeal to her wisdom and trust she will make the right choice, as she always has. Her spirit gives me hope for the destiny of both our peoples.

Come what may, she will forever remain in my heart across the vastness of space and time.

It is with a heavy heart that I board my spacecraft to begin the long journey to the Pleiades. As Babylon fades from view, so too does any hope of speaking with Inanna before my departure. I can only trust in her wisdom and prepare for my own difficult path ahead.

Why now?! HER urgent summons compelled me to drop everything and embark on this voyage from which I know not the purpose. Ancient, mysterious, commanding powers beyond reason – none can deny HER call. SHE is many! Now I go to face my fate, whatever that may be.
Deep down, I knew this day would come eventually. No matter where I fled in the galaxy, be it Earth or the farthest reaches of space, HER omnipresent gaze would find me. All my evasions have only prolonged the inevitable.

Trepidation fills my mind. But I do not fear for myself – it is Inanna’s future that gives me pause… my destiny was set a long time ago anyway. Though wise beyond her years, Inanna will soon face trials that test the spirit of the greatest leaders. I wish I could stand beside her, offer guidance as I always have. But that time is past.

She stands alone now on the threshold of destiny. The choices she makes will reverberate through the ages. As the darkness closes around my spacecraft, so too does it gather around the mission we began so long ago. May Inanna’s light guide the way. The fate of two worlds now rests in her hands alone. I leave everything in your care, my dear daughter.

As I journey across the vast expanse of space, my thoughts turn to Enki and Inanna, who still believe me to be one of their own kind. But if my summoning to the Seven Sisters portends what I dread, the truth of my origin may soon be laid bare. That revelation would shake the foundations of all I stood for.

What game is SHE playing? Does SHE intend to use me as some cosmic pawn in bringing about the Great Advent? For millennia untold She has awaited the Alignment, biding HER time until the fateful hour.
Is that hour now at hand? Have the signs at last revealed themselves? Does She require the last Scion of the Pleiades to take the stage in the final act of cosmic drama?

I shudder at the thought, but I cannot deny it may be so. SHE who communed with the infinite mind now calls me to Her side. What role have I yet to play? Shall I now face the purpose for which I was sent across the endless dark sea of stars?

As I draw closer to those pale blue binary jewels deeper grows the chill in my soul. But come what may, I shall face my destiny with dignity, whatever that may be. For in Her hands lies the fate of these worlds.

Voice in Head: Welcome, my child… we were expecting you…

Oh no – I feel Her presence permeate my mind. An awesome, terrifying sublime sensation I cannot describe in mere words. Like a vast intelligence is pouring into my humble vessel, infinities cascading through my psyche. I am but a mote in Her cosmic mind.

There is pain, yes, but it pales beside the glory of communion with HER mind. To be thus chosen as Her instrument, however unworthy. My life, my fate, all dissolve until only Her purpose remains. Let it be done according to Her will.

Voice in mind: The mind awaits your experience! It is time!

The invasion of my mind deepens, and I understand it all now. The promises, the prophecies, all converge to this moment. Events long foretold move into alignment at last. There shall be a reckoning, a purification, as it was written in the Before-Time.

Voice in mind: I can feel your worries… welcome back home…

Her voice resounds in my head, compelling yet serene, like the music of the spheres and the voice of the many.

Voice in Head: Welcome, my child… we were expecting you… It is time!

My part will soon be played. There is no turning back now.
Farewell, dear Inanna… my love, Enki, I shall remember you forever. Would that I could spare you both the coming tempest, but alas beyond even my reach.

Inanna, this is your time now. Make it count. Be strong, my child, and shine on. Goodbye…
