There's them critters out there
Excerpts from "The Gods of Eden" by William Bramley (pen name), paperback edition, 1990, Avon Books:
The Gods of Eden
From Chapter 4, entitled "The Gods of Eden":
>>>>
The idea that human beings are a slave race owned by an extraterrestrialsociety is not a new one. It was expressed thousands of years ago in mankind's earliest recorded civilizations. The first of thesecivilizations was Sumeria: a remarkably advanced society which arose in the Tigris-Euphrates River valley between 5,000 and 4,000 B.C., and flourished as a major civilization by 3,500 B.C.
Like other advanced societies which arose in the Mesopotamian region, Sumeria left records stating that humanlike creatures of extraterrestrial origin had ruled early human society as Earth's first monarchs. Those alien people were often thought of as "gods." Some Sumerian "gods" were said to travel in the skies and through the heavens in flying "globes" and rocketlike vehicles. Ancient carvings depict several "gods" wearing gogglelike apparel over their eyes. Human priests acted as mere intermediaries between the alien "gods" and the human population.
(Snip)
In order for me to better discuss these "high tech" "gods," it will be necessary for me to invent a new term.
The word "god" alone contains too much undeserved awe. Historical and modern-day testimony indicates that these "gods" are as "human" in the behavior as you or I.
(Snip)
That leaves me to invent a new label based upon the "gods" apparent relationship to the human race. For lack of anything better, I will refer to them as the "Custodial" society, meaning that specific extraterrestrial society (or succession of societies) which appears to have had ownership or custody of the Earth since prehistory. For brevity, I will refer to them simply as "Custodians."
What sort of creatures are these newly-labeled "Custodians"?
Historical records and modern testimony describe them as physically humanlike, racially diverse, and, most importantly, very similar to human beings behaviorally. For example, some modern-era UFOs have exhibited adolescent prankishness by racing at airplanes as though they were going to collide, and then abruptly veering away just as impact seemed imminent: an apparent game of aerial "chicken." At least one modern witness has allegedly
been "zapped" by a UFO for no other apparent reason than malice. Ancient writers describe their extraterrestrial "gods" as being capable of love, hate, amusement, anger, honesty, and depravity. Ancient records and modern testimony alike would indicate that Custodial personalities run the entire gamut from saints to sinners, from the most degraded of despots to the most true-hearted of humanitarians. Sadly, it is the brutal and despotic element of their society that would appear to be the most influential in the affairs
of Earth, as we shall document.
(Snip)
Custodial rulers knew that they needed to keep spiritual beings permanently attached to human bodies in order to animate those bodies and make them intelligent enough to perform their labors:
"In the clay god [a spiritual entity] and Man
[physical body of Homo sapiens] shall be bound,
to a unity together;
So that to the end of days
the Flesh and the Soul
which in a god have ripened ---
that Soul in a blood-kinship be bound."
The tablets are silent about which "personalities" were chosen to animate the new slave bodies. Based upon how things are done in human society, we might guess that the Custodial society used criminals, deviates, prisoners, of war, detested social and racial groups, nonconformists, and other undesirables to obtain the spiritual beings it needed to animate the new slave race of Earth. Humans were certainly treated like convicts sentenced to hard labor:
"With picks and spades they [human beings] built the shrines,
They built the big canal banks,
For food for the peoples, for the
sustenance of [the gods]."
As beasts of burden, humans were brutally treated by their extraterrestrial masters. The clay tablets tell us of vast and catastrophic cruelty perpetrated by the Custodians against their human servants. Cold-blooded population control measures were carried out frequently:
"Twelve hundred years had not yet passed
When the lord extended and the peoples multiplied.
The land was bellowing like a bull,
The god got disturbed with their uproar.
Enlil [half-brother and rival of Ea] heard their noise*
And addressed the great gods,
'The noise of mankind has become too intense for me,
With their uproar I am deprived of sleep.
Cut off supplies for the peoples,
Let there be a scarcity of plant-life to satisfy their hunger.
Adad [another Custodian] should withhold his rain,
And below, the flood [the regular flooding of the land which made it
fertile] should not come up from the abyss.
Let the wind blow and parch the ground,
Let the clouds thicken but not release a downpour,
Let the fields diminish their yields,
...
There must be no rejoicing among them.'"
[* Footnote - These lines suggest that Enlil had lived more than 1200 years. A similar longevity is attributed to other Custodial rulers. Many people find it difficult to believe that any creature, including extraterrestrials, could live that long. The surprising longevity attributed to Custodial rulers may perhaps be explained by Sumerian spiritual beliefs. The Sumerians believed that a "personality" (spiritual being) survives the death of a physical body and that it is possible to identify the "personality" after it has abandoned one physical body and taken on a new one (in the same way that one can identify
a driver who jumps out of one automobile and climbs into another). A "personality" could therefore hold the same political or social position body after body, as long as the "personality" could be identified. When Sumerians gave Custodians an extensive longevity, they were not necessarily suggesting that a single Custodial body survived for centuries,
in many cases they appear to have been saying that a Custodial "personality" held a political position for a very long time even though it may have done so through a succession of bodies.]

The Old Testament tells us that Adam (first man) was designed to be a servant. His function was to till the soil and to care for the lush gardens and crops owned by his "God." As long as Adam and Eve accepted their servant status and obeyed their ever-present masters, all of their physical needs would be met and they would be permitted to remain in their "paradise"
indefinitely. There was, however, one unpardonable sin that they must never commit. They must never seek certain types of knowledge. These forbidden forms of knowledge are symbolized in the story as two trees: the "tree of knowledge of good and evil" and the "tree of life." The first "tree" symbolizes an understanding of ethics and justice. The second "tree" symbolizes the knowledge of how to regain and retain one's spiritual
identity and immortality.
Adam and Eve obeyed the commandments of their masters and lived in material bliss until another party entered the scene. The intervening party was symbolized in the story as a snake. The serpent convinced Eve to partake of the "fruit" from the "tree of knowledge of good and evil." Eve followed the serpent's suggestion, as did Adam. "God" (i.e. Custodial leadership) became immediately alarmed:
"And the Lord God said, Look, the man has become as one of us, knowing good from evil: and now, what if he puts his hand and takes also of the tree of life, and eats, and lives forever?"
The above passage reveals an important truth echoed by many religions. A true understanding of ethics, integrity, and justice is a prerequisite to regaining one's spiritual freedom and immortality. Without a foundation in ethics, full spiritual recovery becomes nothing more than a pipe dream.
The Custodians clearly did not want mankind to begin traveling the road to spiritual recovery. The reason is obvious. The Custodial society wanted slaves. It is difficult to make thralls of people who maintain their integrity and sense of ethics. It becomes impossible when those same individuals are uncowed by physical threats due to a reawakened grasp of their spiritual immortality. Most importantly, if spiritual beings cold no longer be trapped in human bodies, but could instead use and abandon bodies at will, there would be no spiritual beings available to animate slave bodies. As we recall, Sumerian tablets revealed a Custodial intention to permanently attach spiritual beings to human bodies. Early man's attempt to escape his spiritual bondage by "eating" from the Biblical
"trees" therefore had to be stopped, and fast!

So, are you a physical being attempting to live a spiritual life, or are you
a spiritual being attempting to live a physical life? That is the real question.
