The Secret Doctrine, Volume II. Anthropogenesis

Chapter 657

[←649]

The Greek mythos alluded to a few pages back, namely the mutilation of Uranus by his son Cronus, is an allusion to this “theft” of the divine creative Fire by the Son of the Earth and Heavens. If Uranus, the personification of the Celestial Powers, has to cease creating (he is made impotent by Cronus (Chronos), the God in Time), so, in the Egyptian Cosmogony, it is Thot, the God of Wisdom, who regulates this fight between Horus and Set, the latter being served by the former as Uranus is by Cronus. (See Book of the Dead, xvii, line 26.) In the Babylonian account it is the God Zu, who strips the “Father of the Gods” of “umsimi”—the ideal creative organ, not the “crown” (!) as G. Smith thought (op. cit., pp. 115, 116). For, in the fragment K. 3454 (British Museum), it is said very clearly, that Zu having stripped the “venerable of heaven” of his desire, he carried away the “umsimi of the gods,” and burnt thereby “the tereti [the power] of all the gods,” thus “governing the whole of the seed of all the angels.” As the umsimi was “on the seat” of Bel, it could hardly be the “crown.” A fourth version is in the Bible. Ham is the Chaldæan Zu, and both are cursed for the same allegorically described crime.
