SHOCK ‘n AWE (SHAK-IN-AH): WE WILL ROCK YOU by William Henry

Shock and Awe Begins--We Explain its Occult Meaning

introduction by Whitley Strieber
As bombers began taking off from aircraft carriers, from bases in Kuwait and elsewhere, and B-52s that started from England hours ago began to arrive over Iraq, the Pentagon announced that 'Shock and Awe' had begun. But did you know that this phrase has potent occult meaning? According to leading mythologist William Henry, Shock and Awe relates to the ancient Hebrew phrase Shak-In-Ah, meaning glory.

A battle between the ancient forces of light (TARA) and darkness (TERROR) rages on our planet. Emerging with it is the ancient idea of Shock ‘n Awe, called Shakina--Glory--by the Jewish Mystics. Shock ‘n Awe was known as the Divine Presence of God, a force of immense power that emanated from the Ark of the Covenant. Has it returned?

On March 19, 2003 the U.S. military began the war to oust Saddam Hussein with “decapitation” strikes by precision missiles and bombs on targets in Baghdad believed to hold the Iraqi dictator, his sons or other top leaders. The first missiles came from aircraft carriers blaring the Queen song “We Will Rock You.”

A few hours later, another Saddam crawled out of the bunker and appeared on state-run Iraqi television. One official said the case against the broadcast’s authenticity included that Hussein has several body doubles. This one had grey, jowley skin, and wore glasses uncharacteristic of the ones he normally wears. Technical analysts, who used digital enhancement techniques and triangulation measurements of facial proportions, assessed that the broadcast depicted the real Hussein (if there is such a thing). This master of many palaces was also a master of many heads, similar to Hydra, the nine-headed serpent slain by Hercules. When any one of its heads was cut off; it was replaced by two others.

White House officials hoped that killing Saddam as the war began could shorten the conflict by convincing his military to surrender Baghdad to the allies, an official said. There was no immediate word on whether the strike killed top Iraqi leaders.

Saddam Hussein is certainly dead. Even if he hasn’t inherited the wind. And with him passes a sigh of relief. How close to Hitler was he to inflicting a holocaust on America? How much of his ‘I’m the Muslim Messiah’ business did he buy?

It has been over fifty years since Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his Berlin bunker, yet our fascination with his life and sinister campaign of evil grows. Fifty years hence Saddam will still be a subject of mystery. The reason is because crucial parts of the story have been excised, sanitized and even occulted.

The occult was a major factor behind the rise of Adolf Hitler. It was excised from history because Churchill sought to prevent imitators and because recognition of it carries with it a terror that is beyond proportion for most. Hitler thought he was the ‘Aryan Christ’. He believed in the emergence of the New Atlantis. He sought to build a Master Race.

Like his death, the major factor behind the rise of Saddam Hussein is hidden. Exiled from Iraq in Luxor, Egypt, the young Saddam walked the mighty temples. He heard a voice that tempted him to power, real power.

Saddam thought he was Nebuchadnezzar, the biblical King of Babylon who rebuilt Babylon, the ancient home of the Bab-Ili or ‘Gate of the Illi”, the Illumined ones. Known as the Gate to God in the Bible, this huge tower, called in Sumerian Etemenenanki (‘House of the Foundation of Heaven and Earth’) stood upon the central temple-complex called Esagila or ‘House that Lifts Up the Head’ (of God).

Saddam did not take the ancient stories of Nebuchadnezzar and the Head of God as mere mythology. Just as Joshua became Jesus in the Jewish tradition, and their feats were considered mutual, Saddam affixed his tyrannical actions to Nebuchadnezzar’s.

To honor his previous incarnation, Saddam rebuilt Babylon. In 2002 he sought the return of the Ish-tara Gate from Berlin to Iraq, along with copies of thousands of ancient Sumerian tablets from the British Museum. He aimed to turn Babylon into a “Disneyland for the ancient gods” in the style of Nebuchadnezzar and his forerunner, Nimrod, who built the Tower of Babel. Like Saddam, Nimrod was a terrorist. He threatened and murdered innocents.

Nimrod is the Egyptian Osiris, who was decapitated by his half brother, Set. A serpent hanging from a pillar symbolized this god’s head or ‘skull’. Osiris is the Egyptian equivalent of the serpent of Eden.

Sir E.A. Wallis Budge, the British Museum’s curator of Egyptian antiquities at the turn of the twentieth century, was one of the first scholars to notice the relationship between Egyptian and Su-Merian mythology and to refer to its influence on Jewish and Gnostic symbolism.

In 576 B.C. Nebuchadnezzar looted and leveled the Temple of Solomon and transported the Jews to Babylon.

The Old Testament and Jewish mystic system known as Kaballism (‘to receive’) flourished during his reign when he merged the Jewish and Babylonian cultures. In addition, Nebuchadnezzar opened the ‘fiery furnace’ out of which the Son of God emerged.

In the old times it was the Israelite god, Yahweh, who ordered the death of Nebuchadnezzar. This was in retaliation for his deliverance of the secrets of the enigmatic ‘fiery furnace’, which behaves like a modern stargate or wormhole. Saddam may have been on the verge of reopening the Gate to God.

In January 2001, Yahweh made headlines when George W. Bush, a born again Christian who believes Yahweh’s son died on a cross for him 2,000 years ago, ascended to power and asked a question. “Does the angel in the whirlwind still direct this storm?”

The whirlwind is the vehicle in which Yahweh rides. Then angel is Enoch, later called Metatron, the Prince of Earth. Metatron’s job is to keep order in the world and to protect the throne of Glory (Shankina). The inference is that Yahweh or Metatron direct the affairs of Old Glory, America.

One morning in February 2003, George W. Bush came to land of the three stars Nashville, Tennessee – the home of a copy of Iraq’s Tower of Babel – to tell religious broadcasters that “the terrorists hate the fact that …we can worship Al- Mighty God the way we see fit,” and that the United States was called to bring God’s gift of liberty to “every human being in the world.”

Bush believes in God’s will. Foes say he found the right combination of religion and politics while living in Texas. He put on a halo and rode a wave of evangelical support to the core of the Republican Party. This right wing front organization for Jesus Christ took him all the way to the West Wing of the White House.

Bush’s platform is simple, say friends and foe alike. Give everyone, everywhere, the freedom to find Jesus Christ.

His references to “good” and “evil,” installed in his vocabulary after 9-11, exploded into a “countdown to Armageddon” and the return of Jesus in born again minds. They read “good”, Jesus W. Bush, v. “evil”, Satan Hussein.

When George W. Bush decided he’d had enough of the serpent Saddam he sent forces to ‘decapitate’ him (a military technique that has been around ‘forever’), or expel him from the Garden. (In contrast to the approach of Moses and Jesus who sought to lift the serpent and transform it into a healing force.) In Sumerian myth, George the serpent or dragon slayer is known as Bel or Marduk, ‘the bright one’, the god of Mars (war/terror or peace/tara).

Slaying Satan Hussein is the fulfillment of Ronald Reagan’s apocalyptic plans. Some say it is the preamble to his repeated philosophizing about extraterrestrials, and the uniting of the human race in a final battle against an extraterrestrial foe.

This is the source of the ‘Thing’ in the Near East. The extraterrestrials of times past inhabited present-day Iraq. The biblical Garden of Eden was their home, too.

To many Muslims, especially Arabs, Bush is the Christian Crusader come to steal the Cradle of Civilization for Jesus.

Bush put it plainly otherwise. “We come to Iraq with respect for its citizens, for their great civilization and for the religious faiths they practice. We have no ambition in Iraq, except to remove a threat and restore control of that country to its own people.”

Today, President Bush prepares to unleash “Shock and Awe” against the Axis of Evil on behalf of the Al-Mighty.

Curiously, Al-Mighty is the name originally given to the Israelite god El Shaddai, the Lord of the Mountain, the god of the Burning Bush, from whom “the Egyptian,” Moses, received the instructions to build the Ark of the Covenant and from whom he received Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. Jewish Kabbalists tell us Shaddai is Enoch/Metatron. The angel in the whirlwind?

In the earlier Iraqi tradition he was Ilu Kur-gal, meaning “Great Mountain Lord.” The Sumerians called him El, the “Shining One.”

In Jewish mysticism El or Ill is hidden (occult). Normally, Yahweh rode in a ‘pillar of fire by day, and a pillar of fire by night’. In order that God might be visible to angels and those humans who have nurtured their consciousness, he allowed his Glory to take shape in the form of a divine fire or light known only to the prophets and mystics.

Most Christians and Jews are unaware that this Divine Fire is a feminine component of the deity in biblical times. This feminine Glory of God is called “shakina” (Shock-in-ah).

Shakina is the Indian Shakti, translated as “Cosmic Energy.” The term is used in the Talmud and Midrash in place of Word (Memra, Life Force Energy, Christ).

The image of the Shekinah reaches back to the goddesses of Sumeria and later to As-Tara in Canaan.

She was first exiled from humanity as a result of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, which some scholars locate in various places in Iraq. She has shared the exile from the Garden (Iraq) with all of humanity. She is addressed as the ‘Mystical Eden’, the ‘holy apple garden’.

Shak-in-ah appeared in Jerusalem after the building of Solomon’s Temple and the placement of the Ark of the Covenant within the temple’s Holy of Holies. Solomon worshipped her over Yahweh. She is the goddess consort of the king seen as a visible cloud overshadowing or hovering over the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 40:34-38).

Shekina disappeared at the time of the destruction of the Temple of Solomon at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar – when the Ark was secreted either to Babylon or to Tara Hill in Ireland -- and she did not return with them to Israel after the exile.

In her exile she is called ‘the Widow’ and the ‘Stone of Exile’, the ‘Precious Stone’.

Shekinah is ‘scattered’ into the scintillae, the ‘soul sparks’ that are the souls of certain human beings. Until this gathering of souls takes place there can be no return to the Garden.

Jewish prayer is focused on accelerating the return of Shak- in-ah, and the return of humanity to the Garden.

The “spirit of Glory” is the dwelling in whom beings of light, the Illi, lived. In Ireland this place is called Tara.

Could it be that the “Shock and Awe” attack Bush – and that old lady, Old Glory, America – is preparing to let loose on Iraq is the awaited return of Shakin aw or Shakina?

Is the gathering of souls in Iraq the gathering light of Shakina or Shock ‘n Awe?

When the first flash of Shock ‘n Awe comes on that moonless night will it be interpreted by Iraqis as the coming of the god of thunder, Yahweh, over the sacred city of Baghdad?

But did you know that this phrase has potent occult meaning? According to leading mythologist William Henry, Shock and Awe relates to the ancient Hebrew phrase Shak-In-Ah, meaning glory.

Interesting article, BUT, I sort of resent the use of the word occult. Spiritual, yes...but occult, nope.

As for the forces of light against the forces of darkness. ABSOLUTELY!

Go back to Genesis, and the 2 creations. One a little more expansive than the other. Right off the bat there is light, to seperate the darkness. Meaning all was darkness at first. Since the sun and moon didn't come along til later... this 'light' and 'darkness' to me indicate 'good and evil' or 'right and wrong'. Duality.

Next thing that stands out is obedience. Or more precisely 'dis-obedience'. Adam and Eve are kicked out of the garden.

Now, this is just an observation, and one I noticed several years ago, and that is, that in the 1st creation all animals including and Adam and Eve were told to go forth and multiply. In the 2nd creation, these words are missing.

Now, I suppose one could look at things from different perspectives, but we don't have a whole lot of 'time' involed, to compare data, so it would only be a supposition to say, that had they not partaken of the tree of knowledge, they wouldn't have known of evil, or procreation.

The first creation being 'carnal/flesh/darkness'?, (be fruitful and multiply) and the second not.What we might consider 'spiritual/light'?

I also noticed something else, Adam and Eve's first born is Cain. Second born is Abel. Cain kills Abel. Just as the first creation was carnal/flesh, so too, was Adam and Eve's first creation, Cain 'carnal or bad/evil', committing the first murder, because of 'jealousy'.

Did Eve partake of the tree of knowledge because she wanted to be 'better' than what she was? 'Pride'? Is there where we get the saying, 'Pride goeth before a great fall'?

Then we get to Abram and Hagar. Hagar becomes prideful when she conceives, eventually giving birth to Ishmael. Later Abram, now called Abraham and Sarah give birth to Isaac. Ishmael's birth is 'carnal/of the flesh/darkness', while Isaac's birth was based on a Promise/spiritual/light from God.

God reinforced the separation of the child of 'flesh', from the Child of 'Promise', when Hagar and Ishmael were sent off to wander. Another separation of darkness from light.

Arabs are descended from Ishamel. I don't know if all muslims believe that they will be rewarded with 72 virgins in Paradise/Heaven, but Islam is the only 'religion' that I can think of that wants to continue the carnal/fleshly desires in Heaven/Paradise. How spiritual is that??

Romans 13:12
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Ephesians 5:8
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

1 John 1:5
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

1 John 1:6
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

I think that were are witnessing a war between the children of light and those of the darkness. Is it the final war? Who knows. But, I do think this is a war between good and evil.
