When [Joseph Campbell] died in 1987 at the age of 83, he was considered one of the world’s foremost authorities on mythology, the Stories and legends told by human beings through the ages to explain the universe and their place in it. The 20 books he wrote or edited have influenced artists and performers, as well as scholars and students. When he died, he was working on a monumental Historical Atlas of World Mythology, his effort to bring under one roof the spiritual and intellectual wisdom of a lifetime…
[But] his favorite subject [was] the hero with a thousand faces…because there is a certain typical hero sequence of actions, which can be detected in stories from all over the world, and from many, many periods of history…someone who has found or achieved or done something beyond the normal range of achievement and experience. A hero properly is someone who has given his life to something bigger than himself or other than himself…
there are two types of deed. One is the physical deed; the hero who has performed a war act or a physical act of heroism ñ saving a life, that’s a hero act. Giving himself, sacrificing himself to another. And the other kind is the spiritual hero, who has learned or found a mode of experiencing the supernormal range of human spiritual life, and then come back and communicated it. It’s a cycle, it’s a going and a return, that the hero cycle represents.

“And it came to pass in the morning that his [Pharoah’s] spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream…And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in ME: GOD shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace…
What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh…Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt…And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said…unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt…and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.” (Genesis 41:8,15-43)
”And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet / Press Secretary. Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land… (Exodus 7:1-12)
The fundamental definition of a prophet is One Who Speaks For God. Not in the modern Christian sense of studying the Bible etc. to preach a sermon based on biblical principles, but literally word for word what God says to that person.
“And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease. But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.” (II Kings 1:2-4)
“Blessed be the name / attribute of God [i.e. power] for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his…HE removeth kings, and setteth up kings: HE giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: HE revealeth the deep and secret things: HE knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.” (Daniel 2:20-22)

“And the LORD said unto [Elijah], Go…to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel:” (I Kings 19:14-16)
“the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee…word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying…let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.” (Jonah 3)
Interfacing with the hyperdimensional realm is really hard on the measly four dimensional being, which surely explains why so few of us go for the gold.
“there stood before me as the appearance of a man…I was afraid, and fell upon my face…I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright…he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation…And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business;” (Daniel 8:15-27)
“And Saul…came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?…And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.” (Acts 9:1-9)

Previous posts explained that a “son” is not necessarily the biological offspring, but can be an adopted individual completely unrelated to the Father but acknowledged by the Father as having his likeness / attributes and qualifications to carry out the Father’s legacy.
With this in mid we can understand that Satan adopts human sons to carry out his will in positions of political governments as well as religions. A recent and well-known combination of occult with secular government is found in Hitler’s Fatherland where all Nazis gave absolute obedience to the Fuhrer.

Alexander the Great who conquered the Persian Empire claimed to be the hybrid son of Zeus, the Greek version of the Mesopotamian King of the gods. Implicitly that means he rules all of Zeus’ holdings, i.e. King of Heaven and Earth. And he is certainly known for conquering the whole known world, and beyond! He did not destroy the mammoth Persian empire in all its glory but sensibly added it to his country holdings virtually intact.
It is also recorded that his mother played with snakes and that she told him that Zeus had impregnated her in the form of a snake. Taking on the form of an animal to impregnate a human female was one of Zeus’ well-known vices, so people could believe this. It is, however, unlikely, since the hyperdimensional perpetrators of pre-flood hybridization were imprisoned for this abomination.
One thing is certain – we find evidence for generational hybridization, since Alexander’s father was also an impressive conqueror himself. This consideration is supported by the reappearance giants after the flood, as detailed in that post.
Hyperdimensional Beings In Person
But then this can be seen also in the simple initiation ritual, where a child has to give up his childhood and become an adult, has to die, you might say, to his infantile personality and psyche and come back as a self-responsible adult. It’s a fundamental experience that everyone has to undergo, where in our childhood for at least 14 years, and then to get out of that posture of dependency, psychological dependency, into one of psychological self-responsibility, requires a death and resurrection, and that is the basic motif of the hero journey, Leaving one condition, finding the source of life to bring you forth in a richer or more mature or other condition…
Otto Rank…says that everyone is a hero in his birth. He has undergone a tremendous transformation from a little, you might say, water creature. living in a realm of the amniotic fluid and so forth, then coming out, becoming an air-breathing mammal that ultimately will be self-standing and so forth, is an enormous transformation and it is a heroic act, and it’s a heroic act on the mother’s part to bring it about. It’s the primary hero, hero form, you might say.
Defining a totally dependent infant as the primary form of a hero who is brought into being by a likewise heroic act by the mother, while incompatible with Campbell’s own denial of the God of the Bible, is, ironically, the very definition of the God of the Bible’s penultimate hero Seed of the Woman.
Based on research criteria, the mere existence of the world-wide acknowledgment over all time in every language and culture including our own supposedly materialistic, i.e. scientific, cannot be attributed to imaginative myths grounded in human psychology.
From a biblical perspective – which unlike Campbell’s writings are internally reliable and externally validated – the supernatural gods of the preflood world were not drowned out of existence by the flood. They just stopped openly manifesting themselves to humanity, and went under cover of darkness while continuing to exercise control through national governments as well as religions.
Like mob bosses and tyrants at every level of society, they shield themselves from the culpability and judgment of criminal activity by working through – indwelling – their human minions. This standard process is indubitably detailed in many biblical passages and rulers, such as Joseph and Moses who in Egypt became involved in crises where negotiations with other nations’ leaders included a hierarchy of ruling gods in the heavens.
Daniel and Ezekiel in Babylon and Jeremiah and Isaiah in Jerusalem were just a few of God’s inter-national and inter-dimensional diplomats.
“Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said,
Surprised? Not like God hasn’t always operated world-wide.
Co-regency of Human Sons with Hyperdimensional Beings
Co-regency was a common practice in ancient kingdoms, especially when the primary ruler was unable to get out and about among the populace.
“And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper…and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land. (II Chronicles 26:21)
Co-regency between the spirit and the human prince is how the hyper dimensional being accomplishes his rule in the four dimensional realm. Co-regency of a human ruler with a spirit being is understood to be a reality for the believing kings of Israel and Judah, and therefore the pattern for Satan and his minions aspiring to replace the true God.
“For the LORD...the Holy One of Israel is our king…and saidst…I have exalted one chosen out of the people.” (Psalm 89:18-19)
“Thus saith the LORD…of Cyrus, He is my shepherd [like David and Yeshus/Jesus], and shall perform all my pleasure.” (Isaiah 44:28)
Pagan co-regency of the gods with a human is described in the preamble to Hammurabi’s Code.
Being “called by name” signifies joining with God / the gods, the adoption process whereby the father assigns sonship for the purpose of carrying on his legacy. This is what the Babylonians tried to accomplish when “of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah…the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.” If anyone ever calls you names, remember that doesn’t work to determine your degenerated identity, as proven by these four men who survived trials in the lion’s den and by fire.
Calling by name did work to determine identity when Gaius Octavius Thurinus was adopted by his great-uncle Gaius Julius Caesar because upon the adoption he not only took over his new father’s family name of Caesar but also his social and political roles, i.e. identity.
The transformation of the Roman republic, the fourth and last kingdom in Daniel’s view of history, into a de facto monarchy necessarily included the transformation of the first emperor, Augustus Caesar, from a mere mortal to, first a son of god, then a living god.
Caesar’s alter ego was, who else? Apollo, son of Zeus.
Even today human rulers openly claim descent from a god. Many people take this very seriously.
Interesting that Prince Charles of England claims descent from Vlad the Impaler, ruler of Transylvania in what is now called Roman-ia, reflecting its history as a Roman province. Vlad the Impaler was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”, derived from Vlad’s family name of Dracul, which means “dragon”. In other words, Vlad the son of the dragon.
I can’t make this up.
Hybrid Sons of Hyperdimensional Fathers
For certain, Daniel’s visions of the rulers of the great historic empires of the cradle of civilization defines them as 100% hyper dimensional beings.
“Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold,
“the four winds / spirits of the heaven strove upon the great sea [above the firmament]…And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another…These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth...” (Daniel 7:1-3, 17)
Notice that there is an apparent contradiction in that
- “four great beasts came up from the sea…”
- “These [same] great beasts…shall arise out of the earth.“
This seeming contradiction can be resolved by recognizing that
- “came up from the sea” defines physical change in place, as in
- Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort…Thy servants the men on this side the river [Euphrates]…Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem” (Ezra 4:8-12)
- “arise out of the earth” defines political rise to power, with the same word being variously translated into English as set, stand, appointed and established, as in:
- Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings…And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed…it shall stand for ever.” (Daniel 2:20-21, 44)
A beast is a general term for any living creature of unknown species. We can begin to categorize these beasts by matching their features to beasts described in heaven
“And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
- And the first beast was like a lion,
- and the second beast like a calf,
- and the third beast had a face as a man,
- and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.” (Revelation 4:6-7)
In other words, Daniel’s beastly politicians are hyper dimensional beings who, having been cast out of heaven to earth are among Satan’s legions on earth who set up his political control on earth.
- The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. (Babylon)
- And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. (Persia)
- After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. (Greece)
- After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns… (Rome)
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit.” (Daniel 7)
The beasts shown to Daniel are the true, unseen heads of world kingdoms and empires who are not simply demonic spirits possessing and controlling the human leaders, or even human-appearing angelic beings, but actual beasts / unknown creatures / aliens from the sea of outer space as described, who used to be openly known and worshipped as such.
While this may sound preposterous, it fits with the rest of the account. How do they manage that?
Do the beasts symbolize the empires?
This can be true to a degree.
A contemporary example of duality where the leader of the empire represents the entire empire would be “The Big Three” in the Yalta Conference, where it is recognized that Churchill = the British Empire, Stalin = the Russian Empire, and Roosevelt = the new forming American Empire on the ruins of the British.
But in order for there to be parallel between the ruler and the empire, the beasts must be the actual rulers.
Mesopotamian snake goddess, Egyptian lion-headed Sekhmet, Greek half-goat Pan.
Alice Bailey (1880-1949), founder of Lucis Trust, was a Christian turned occultist whose life’s work was motivated by an “absolute conviction…that the Plan for humanity requires the cooperation and service of trained and dedicated human beings…in collaboration with those who form the spiritual hierarchy, the inner government of the planet.
Can we bring our post-modern materialistic selves to accept that the current human rulers of the kingdoms of the world are co-regents with hyper dimensional beings as frankly stated in Daniel’s visions? If so, then the bizarre configuration described as a permutation of the last empire makes perfect sense.
“And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron…And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes [the very last part of the fourth kingdom, that would be us], part of potter’s clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
-
- And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
- And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” (Dan 2:40-43)
The unnamed they who mingle themselves with the seed of men didn’t need to be defined because the original readers already knew, from their hyper dimensional world view, that they are the true power brokers, the spirit beings who rule from the back rooms of power. At the end of time, they emerge from the darkness back on stage into the spotlight.
In the meantime they mingle themselves with the seed / DNA of humans without any longer producing hybrid children as occurred prior to the Flood.
How do they manage that?
