[quote:Anonymous Guest 76533169:MV8zODcxNTc4XzY5NzQzODQwXzg1QjVGNEI1] The interpretation of genesis 6 (the one most usually cited for the hybrid stuff) is actually from the old babylonian talmud type interpretation, and later kabbalah, specifically the zohar, (bereshith 36b) from what I've found, and does not exist in the actual bible text itself, apparently, it being offered with various other interpretations, but due to the rabbi's pharisaic tendency to malinterpret verses (this is why you'll sometimes see them wearing little boxes with bits out of deuteronomy strapped to their arms, and foreheads, a misinterpretation of keeping God's words as frontlets between their eyes, etc.) and the corruption of gnosticism across many belief systems, this interpretation has become the dominant one (It is often paired with other aberrant gnostic ones such as saying that eve had sexual relations with the devil, used as a foundation for racism's supremacist false doctrines) I would strongly caution to avoid the book of enoch by the way, the text itself was "discovered" by a freemason, james bruce, (A text in geez, by the way, from Ethiopia) and subsequently brought back by him, what happened to the text from there until some questionable translations were released by richard laurence & r. h. charles, is something I don't know as yet, but I would suspect the lodges might have tampered with it. (The translations asserting beings born to human women that are effectively 450 ft to two miles in height when full grown, is a bit ridiculous, as a human women couldn't hope to carry a fetal form of such a creature to term, much less consume enough food to be able to meet it's nutritional needs.) The film you mention also has links back to the old occult as well, the aliens franchise comes from h. r. geiger in large part, who was subsequently inspired by h.p. lovecraft, who himself took inspiration from horror writer & occultist arthur lewellyn jones/"machen" who was also an acquaintance of arthur edward waite, responsible in part for the popular tarot card deck, and the hermetic order of the golden dawn secret society. The premise of it being a variant of the panspermia theory. The "giant beings" thing is very prevalent across many cultures, as are other mythological elements, to a shocking degree, (Consider the "cardinal points" deities, the aztecs had them, as 4 giants, with a central being, China and Japan had them as the 4 divine beasts, genbu, suzaku, seiryuu and byakko, sometimes with a central being, and the ancient greeks had this about 3 times repeated as 4 titans/deities, hyperion, krios, koios and iapetos, taking down a 5th "evil" one, kronos) however, the secret society types will use these similarities to try to suggest they're all reflections of accurate events, while downplaying, except for where it can be useful to their deceptions, that this demonstrates that they stem from a similar origin. As for friend, foe, or neutral, my understanding of cosmology has deities as one of three things generally: a spirit pretending to be a being of great power, (I am monotheistic, myself) and typically malevolent, a wholly fictional character which may or may not have been used to teach a given lesson, or a deified ancestor who was human, and could've been good, or bad, depending. The size of these can vary over time, which we see happen with types like Charlemagne, who is given some mythological attributes, based on some items, such as saying he was anywhere from 9-12 feet tall based solely on his bed frame. (Any suggestion that he just had a very opulent taste for a big bed, seems to be ignored.) Glad to have been of assistance, and hopes this proves to be useful as well. [/quote]
