Who were these mighty men? They are the same as the giants spoken of in the Book of Enoch, (gigantic compared to the tiny Ihins). They are the people we call Ihuans (Cro-Magnons of the Aurignacian)—the tall and well-formed progeny of those Ihin-Druk “exchanges.” “Half-breeds betwixt the Druks and Ihins, the Ihuans were taller and stronger than any other people.” Their size and strength might well be a matter of hybrid vigor, as discussed in chapter 5.
Why did Enoch give the time of Jared in connection with these mixed marriages? At this time the angels withdrew27—leaving man to his own devices (backsliding). This we find in Hebrew legend, which says that in the days of Jared (perhaps 50 kya), the depravity of men increased monstrously “by reason of the fallen angels.” But let us stop right here for a reality check. I can make no sense of these stories unless we take the “rebel angels” or the “fallen angels” or “sons of God” as no more than figures of speech representing, really, the holy Ihins who strayed from their high mounds (the heights) and cohabited with the more carnal races of men. When the Lamech Scrolls (among the Dead Sea Scrolls) say “ye left the lofty heavens, slept with women. . . . and begat sons like giants”—the lofty heavens are hyperbole, which we can easily translate as the heights, the reclusive mounds upon which the chosen people lived.
As for giants or mighty men, they can only be the Ihuans aka Cro-Magnons (who resulted from the forbidden Ihin-Druk mergers). They are the same, in fact, as the biblical Nephilim (giants), men of renown: “The Ihuan shall inhabit the whole earth in time to come; and he shall have dominion over everything on earth. And it came to pass that the Ihuans were a very prolific people, four times more prolific than the Ihins . . . and they spread rapidly over the earth . . . prospered, and they became mighty [e.a.] in many countries.”28
Finally, the holy watchers are yet another hyperbole, standing for the Ihins themselves, whose name is actually equivalent to the kabbalistic angels called Irin. In one linguistically interesting passage in the Book of Enoch, the holy watchers, called Irin, are a class of angels inhabiting the sixth heaven. (Well, the deification of the Ihins made them angels, if not gods!) Irin appears to be nothing more than a Mediterranean variant of Ihin, corresponding also to ir in Sumerian, which means “guardian” (watcher). In the Aegean, Ayia Irini is the ancient name of a Bronze Age settlement in the Cyclades; this place was the renowned home of poets, philosophers, and physicians, indicating the elect, a seat of ancient intelligence, if not enlightenment, as seen also in Huz-irina, the ancient Assyrian center of learning (at Sultan Tepe), with “a proper library.”
Although the Ihins were certainly mortals, the hand of myth deified them, euhemerized them, making them sons of heaven, partly because of their peculiar angelic feature, the vail or caul. A good number of the gods of the ancient world were actually mortals or ex-mortals—deified.
But lost as a race, the Ihin little people are only vaguely remembered, one protohistorian, for example, noting that “at one time . . .there was actually a group of men on earth who, for reasons unimaginable to humankind, undertook to guide and teach them . . . these people came . . . out of the sky.”29 The Greek Hesiod spoke of a golden race of humans created in the time of Kronos, who were later hidden away to become beneficent spirits. These, we know, were the immortals of the Ihin race, their spiritual influence unfettered by the thing called death, hence known as sky people—with some truth.
Figure 7.7. Sign of hin’ kwa (with the same root as Ihin) designating the unseen part within corpor, that is, spirit within body. Oahspe teaches, “they were called Ihins, because they were begotten of both heaven and earth.” The Ihins were the first on Earth to be endowed with soul power, an etheric, inner connection to the cosmos, the thing within a thing—that spark that gave the human race everlasting life in the hereafter.
Figure 7.8. The diagram of Hinqua is frequently seen in undeciphered petroglyphs: (A) Hinquas from Forsyth County, Georgia. (B) Cup marks similar to these have been found in England, France, Italy, Spain, Algeria, Israel, China, India, and the Gobi Desert, epigraphers sometimes inferring an otherworldly or shamanistic meaning.
When the Holy Bible speaks of Enoch walking with God and not seeing death (Genesis 5:23, 24, Hebrews 11:5), this also is a metaphor of immortality, conferred by the caste of patriarchs, all with Ihin blood, not unlike Indra, the Hindu “god” who bestowed immortality. The little sacred people came to be worshipped among the barbarians, to whom they appeared as very gods. Thus do we find dwarfs sacred to the sun god in Peru, just as the Mexicans and also the Egyptians had their dwarf gods (Ptah and Bes, in Egypt).
Among the Cherokee, the little people who were called Nunnehi are remembered as “the immortals.” In Europe as well, it was the pintsized Tuatha De Danaan (people of light, heroes of the old Irish) who had all the powers of the immortals, for they and their forebears were the first men on Earth to attain everlasting life. This is the reason that “fairy” land (abode of the Ihins) was remembered in myth as pleasurable and without death and the reason that the fairies themselves were called the Ageless Ones, the elves who “lived a thousand years.”
We have seen that the chosen (Ihin) were commanded to marry among themselves only and to withdraw from other peoples: “The Ihins shall not mingle with any other people on the face of the earth.”30 This commandment goes all the way back to the beginning: in the best known story of Adam and Eve, the pair was driven from the Garden of Eden for disobedience. What was that disobedience?—giving in to forbidden marriage, crossbreeding. “Death” through Adam’s sin actually stands for loss of immortality through back breeding—a spiritual death. The same marriage rule (endogamy), in a latterday context, appears in Genesis 28:1: “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan” (that is, descendants of Cain). And in Ezra 9:1–2: “The people of Israel,” complained the Old Testament, “have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, with respect to abominations of the Canaanites . . . so that the holy seed is mixed with the people of those lands.”
Concerning “separate people”: circumcision was introduced with the sole purpose of keeping the races distinct*106; thus would endogamy assure offspring of everlasting life. “And the Lord commanded the male Ihins, old and young, to be circumcised, that woman might not be deceived by the Druks . . . the mark of circumcision being as a limit to the line of my chosen.”31 Circumcision was later given to the Ihuans as well, to separate them from the Druks. But this practice outlived its usefulness many thousands of years ago; for, as we have seen, the races did thoroughly intermingle, ultimately erasing those early differences in spiritual potential.
ETERNAL LIFE
To know eternity is enlightenment. . . . The decay of the body is not to be feared.
LAO-TSE, TAO THE KING
Jehovih has said: To man I gave an earthly body that he might learn earthly things; but death I gave to man that he might rise to the inheritance of My heavenly kingdoms.
OAHSPE, BOOK OF JUDGMENT 35:32
The Asuans were not created to everlasting life32: we see this very clearly in Buriat anthropogenesis where first man, made of red clay, was without a soul. This was Asu man, otherwise described as “the nearest blank of all the living . . . like a tree. . . . Behold, their souls go out of being as a lamp that is burned out.”33
A similar concept of first man is echoed in the Mayan Popul Vuh, where the first creation saw people made of mud, “but they were unable to walk, talk, or breed.” Oh, breed they did, but they were devoid of sense, devoid of soul, without the spark of the divine. Significantly, one Quiche Mayan version of creation has the Maker first fashioning men of wood (“like a tree”), but not succeeding until making humans from yellow and white corn (symbolic of the Ihin race). The Kayan people of Borneo also have the first human pair born of a tree, as does Norse mythology and Algonquian legend—both of the latter forming first man of the Ash (Asu?) tree.
Asu and Ihin, as we know, were the first two races on Earth; the next, third, race
(Druk) came about through the amalgamation of the first two—the spiritual (second) and the physical (first) races. Similarly, man in Genesis 1:26–7 is radically different from the Adam of Genesis 2:7; the former was created in the image of God, but the latter was formed of the dust of the ground and became a living soul only after the Lord God breathed the breath of life into him. What is indicated here is that one race was of a purely physical stamp, the other, spiritual, even godlike. And “the union of these two races produced a third . . . sharing the natures of both.”34 As Dixon said, intermediate races “have arisen from the blending of two extreme [e.a.] forms.”35 Just so, the third race (Druk) was a blend of the first two extremely different stocks—Asu and Ihin.
Jim Dennon, charting these “beast” versus “angel” extremes in the early races, calculated that all mortals on Earth today have more than one-third angelic blood, and are thus all endowed with the spark, capable of everlasting life. It was precisely these ratios that caused the ancient sages to designate the beast numerically as 666 (Revelation 13:18)—meaning that any person with less than one-third angelic blood or with more than 66 percent “beast” genes (the lower hominids) would be incapable of immortality. This refers to spiritual growth both here and hereafter. The Asuan Adam was, in this scheme, 100 percent beast (animal-man—without the spark), but when they commingled with the angels, they begat the Ihin race (who were 50 percent beast and 50 percent angel). Soon after, when Asu and Ihin, in turn, cohabited, they begat the third race, Druk or H. erectus (Cain), who was then 75 percent beast and 25 percent angel—hence incapable of eternal life (being more than 66 percent beast). But when Ihin and Druk mixed bloodlines, they begat the fourth magnificent race, the Ihuan (62.5 percent beast and 37.5 percent angel)—who, with more than 33 percent angel ratio, was then capable of everlasting life.
Figure 7.9. Chart displaying Dennon’s calculations of beast vs. angel percentages.
If not for all the backsliding (retrobreeding), we might be able to construct neat tables based on these percentages. But the Ihuans (with more than 33 percent angelic blood) retrobred again and again—losing the spark, the hope of immortality. Even the Ihins lost the light when they back-bred with Ihuans, 12 kya—their offspring inheriting neither “the silken hair nor the musical voices of the Ihins, nor the light of the upper heavens.”36
In regard to this loss of holiness, Stephen Oppenheimer found a distinctive feature in Austronesian mythology: Man, it was said, already had immortality, but lost it. This really is the same as the biblical “fall”: when humanity held the prospect of everlasting life—but lost it by back breeding. Indeed, the Ihuan race, before the flood, was capable of everlasting life. But they mixed with the Druks “until the seed of the spirit of eternal life became exhausted, and they brought forth heirs incapable of self-sustenance in heaven. . . . Behold, the Ihuans can [no longer] hear the voice.”37 After the flood, however, a new race of Ihuans came forth, and they were at first capable of all light. But they also did not keep the commandments and mixed with the Druks (the ground people), and they descended rapidly.
Earlier on, the physical contrast between H. habilis and H. sapiens “was immense”38; earlier still, within Au. africanus (South African australopiths) there was an “amazing amount of variability . . . astonishing in its diversity.” And this is a fact I wish to stress: “the variation in early humans. . . . exceeded what variation there is today.” If the early heterogeneity within the human family had been properly understood, “many of the mistakes in anthropology could have been avoided”39—meaning, this great diversity led theorists (mistakenly) to take mere varieties as separate species, falsely multiplying the number of human taxa. For there was only one, albeit highly varied, human species. And with incessant crossbreeding, all the important differences have now been neutralized.
We have become homogenized.
DONALD JOHANSON AND BLAKE EDGAR, FROM LUCY TO LANGUAGE
In today’s world, the races are, genetically, much less different from each other than they once were. Dixon, Weidenreich, and Hooton all stressed this point—that races were at one time much more distinct and well defined, Dixon underscoring “the existence in extremely early times of sharply differing varieties of man.”40 Today, the amount of genetic code that humanity shares in common is impressive, characterized by Stephen J. Gould as “profound equality.” Indeed, Alfred Russel Wallace saw evolution eventually producing “a single nearly homogeneous race”41—something like Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s omega man, entailing a harmonized collectivity of consciousness, a single unit. Is this not the destiny of the human race? Unity through amalgamation?
Although all that early mixing was prohibited, back of it all was divine purpose—to immortalize the human race as a whole. Man, as Dixon held, has “passed from an early condition of relative heterogeneity . . . to become more homogeneous through the long amalgamation of the originally discrete types. . . . The peoples of the world to-day . . . are the result . . . due to the fact that the elements have been blended so variously.”42 And this is not evolution.
“I WILL HAVE NO CASTE”
Man’s spirit crystallized into separateness . . . [and he] rose up and ascended into the firmament.
OAHSPE, BOOK OF JEHOVIH 4:4
It is interesting that in the Babylonian scheme of things, the hero Utnapishtim was granted immortality after the flood; in many other myth cycles besides, the flood hero is made immortal. How can this be interpreted? Quantifying the “blood of the gods,” Jim Dennon determined that before the flood, as much as half of humanity remained in the lower state, without the spark.43
But after the diaspora, things changed dramatically, thanks to the dispersal of Ihin genes, raising the ratio on every hand. These percentages remind me of Milford Wolpoff ’s idea of “sapienization” of all races—by gene flow.
In the Ihin race I laid the foundation for the redemption of the whole earth.
OAHSPE, THE LORDS’ FIFTH BOOK 4:25
Beginning in flood time, 24,000 years ago, the percentages in the table below indicate something of a spiritual quotient of the human race, the percentage of humans capable of immortal life. (See table 7.2.)
God has made of one blood all nations of the earth.
APOSTLE PAUL, ACTS 17:26
In French esotericism, no race is deemed superior or inferior, for we are all of mixed blood; whether yellow, white, black, or red, we possess “that fragment of the divine Spirit that makes us humans and not animals,” according to Glenn Kreisberg, in Mysteries of the Ancient Past. All the races of man are now one and the same, not only in all their organs and capabilities, but also in spiritual potential.44 The sum total of comparative study also indicates that “no genetic differences in mental ability among peoples has been found, despite much effort.”45

One loose end: What became of those earthbound angels after the genesis of the Ihins? “And the lord commanded the angels to give up their forms, and to be no more seen as mortal. And it was done.”46 Thus does Hebrew sacred history record that the Shekinah were induced to leave Earth and ascend to heaven, amid the blare and flourish of angelic trumpets. A like scenario obtains in Sumerian tradition, which has the god Enlil ordering all the “pure gods” living on Earth to abandon their human families and leave the planet at once. In Brahman tradition an Aspara would sometimes wing down to Earth and bear a child with a mortal only to return to the skies.
This is not too different than the Navaho version, which tells of beings who came from the sky and stayed a long time on Earth but finally returned to their world. Likewise is it told in New Zealand by the Tawhaki people that a goddess named
Hapai descended from the seventh heaven to spend nights with a handsome mortal; but after giving birth to a daughter, she returned to the cosmos. All of this is so much like the European tales of fairy brides who, by and by, return to their heavenly home, after conceiving mortal children on Earth.
The seed of truth and light on Earth, the Ihins were the foundation for raising up prophets and seers unto other peoples.47 From the beginning, the great plan was to redeem the tribes of darkness, for “the Druk had not the light of the Father in them . . . they [can] not dwell forever . . . except where they cohabit with the Ihins, whose seed is born to everlasting life.”48 The Ihins, teachers or initiates, taught the Druks about spirit and these ideas “quickened their souls within them, so that they brought forth heirs unto everlasting life.”49
Vernon Wobschall put it this way: “The Ihins were vital to the development of humankind. . . . After the Faithists of Pan [the Ihins] landed in . . . Africa, India and China, the [resulting racial mixtures] were used to replenish those who had become extinct [and exterminated]; the Ihins were yet needed for the maturing of man.”
This view, then, is almost the reverse of the pessimistic Platonic one, which held that: “[g]radually the blood of the gods which flowed in their [ancestors’] veins was diluted with the mortal admixture, and they became degenerate.” While Plato stressed the loss of holiness incurred by these mixings, these faithist histories, to the contrary, remind us that all this interbreeding served a higher purpose; it was overall a gain, not a loss: “Jehovih said, I condemn thee not because ye have become joint procreators . . . for ye have done [a] service unto Me . . . having caused the earth to become peopled with such as are capable of immortality.”50 Indeed, in the approach to historical time, the law of inbreeding (endogamy) was almost reversed: “I will have no caste, for the races are becoming impoverished in blood; marry here! Marry there!”51
