Love it man! One of the main reason's I went plus was for these forums. I love getting different people's perspectives and theories as to why the world turns. Even if I don't agree with their thoughts and theorcool they're still cool to ponder on!

For those who have mentioned slave race.Consider the hidden teachings in the nag hamadi texts (secret book of John and apocraphon of the archons) -and it's hinted at in the Bible.
There are 2 types of humans on earth the original pre-adamic race been around for aeons, then we had the cataclysms & the fall of pre-adamicthe separation of heaven and earth, bi camerial mine etc.
Then the archons wanted a servant class to till the field and give praise to them, they created a copy from clay but it was a lifeless souless golum until they were tricked into giving it the breath of life and a LIVING soul - not immortal spirit which belongs to pre-adamic.
The 2 types can only be distinguished in the immaterial realm.
Ask yourself are you a slave? Do you have a soul or a spirit? If you have a soul, have you germinated the seed of the immortal spirit that's in you.
I got round to expanding on my ideas that I've stitched together from the likes of John Lamb Lash, Thunderbolts and many other Gnostic commentators.
It's in a blog post cos pictures, vids and I can update easier

a clip
The Nag Hammadi codices and some passages in the bible supports the existence of a primordial people. The creation myth from the Bible talks of the earth transforming from a dark lifeless rock into a garden like paradise filled with a balance of nature which includes all animals species and humans within the 6 day period. ‘Day’ is to be taken as a period of time that each process took, it could be millennia it could be eons, don’t get hung up on the specifics, the overall sequence matches logical steps from the lifeless rock to complex life, considerably different and more accurate in comparison to current understanding than other creations myths of similar age like the churning of the milk sea by Naga the snake.
