In the East, in Eden

In the East of Eden

Where was the Garden of Eden? This question, if put in the hypothetical idiom, would seem to be a never-ending quest since the Bible offers no tangible proofs but mere allegories posing various degrees or point of interpretations as to where the Garden’s true location. Much has been said about the creation story in varying versions handed down from generations to generations, in different languages, people or religions and yet only few have taken efforts to find the exact location of its paradisiacal garden. Was it really in the Mesopotamian region, in a land called Fertile Crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates? Or was it somewhere else already found bearing the salient signs where only the skeptic minds will refuse to acknowledge?

If we take geography as reference to support the pre-delude stories it will be more confusing rather than shedding light to the mystery of the story in itself the fact that the earth was and is in constant change and its features is far different from what it looked like before and after the flood. Besides, the names of the places used in the ancient times were so different from their names we used today. Except of course when it comes to directions that north is always in the north, and south is always in the south. So, where to start first and foremost?

Many, if not most of writers, have missed Eden in their descriptions of the Garden of Eden and only touched on to the garden itself. Their interpretations mislead everyone away from the real picture, as described by Moses in his Torah, thus limiting their views on it. Let us read, in Genesis 2:8-9, it says:

“Now, the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food.”

First and foremost, the Garden of Eden was just a portion or a place east of Eden. And second, Eden was the First Earth or referred to its mainland called Pangaea when the whole world wa not divided yet. By the way, gaea in pangaea meaning “all-land” in Greek, and pan or gan edhen in Hebrew means “garden of eden”). Again, let us read, “Now, the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden.” Here, three important words are the clues: garden, east, and Eden. The garden was planted in the east, in Eden. Let us continue, In Genesis 2:10-11:

“A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is Pishon, it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.”

Further down to Genesis 1:25, we can read that when God closed the gate of the Garden of Eden he assigned cherubs with the fiery sword to guard the gate, in the east, to prevent Adam and Eve from coming back.

The garden in the story of creation in the land called Eden is no other than the lost paradise, the garden outside the City of Mu created by the Muians for their new creations, the Maharlikans, Adam and Eve, the first humans, male and female. Many believed it was in Mesopotamia as the biblical story mentioned of the four riverheads, Tigris, Euphrates, Pishon and Gihon. Tigris and Euphrates were identified as to this days being in Iraq (Mesopotamia) but Pishon and Gihon were not. No evidences so far have been discovered to conclude that Pishon and Gihon were also in Mesopotamia. It is not also clear how wide the Garden of Eden was and how far its extent. The only evidences we can consult were the remnants of the garden and the book bearing its records.

“A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is Pishon, it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. The gold at that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there. The name of the second river is Gihon: it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the forth river is Euphrates.” (Gen. 2: 10-14).

The land of Havilah is already forgotten in our times but its gold being the treasure of the land must still be there as silent evidence to its extra-ordinary past. But where is Havilah now? Where is its gold?

Coincidentally, the legendary King Solomon’s land of gold, which often claimed as the main source of the famous king's gold as depicted in the biblical story of the construction of the First Temple of King Solomon and in many stories told where he obtained treasures by the ships, was located in the east, the location of present-day Philippines Islands.

Not satisfied yet? How about some physical evidences?

When God vanished away the Garden of Eden from the face of the Earth, He intelligently designed monuments in memory of the first humans He created and put in the garden. These monuments are mountain-forms bearing the features of a man (Adam) and a woman (Eve) perfectly lying down as if they are sleeping, in a place once called the Garden of Eden. These mountain-forms are called by the inhabitants there as the Lalaking Bukid (male mountain) and Babaeng Bukid (female mountain). Both these mountains are located in the Province of Dinagat Islands in the northern part of Mindanao, south-east of the Philippines.

And since this article is about the Garden of Eden itself, this said Garden must be a real garden in a way that landscaping and cultivation as its features must be obviously distinct to be called as such. The Banaue Rice Terraces in the Mt. Province is considered to be the one of the world’s largest man-made wonders, a landscape, hence a garden. The soil taken from it was dumped in now the so-called Chocolate Hills in Bohol because the entire Philippine Islands was once the Garden of Eden.

Facts About the Maharlikan Race

Unfortunately, most of the Maharlikan consciousness movements nowadays are tracing the wrong lineage of information in their presentations of "who the real Maharlikan people were".

First and foremost, the real Maharlikan people were a race of spiritually advanced civilization whose level of consciousness surpasses the level of our spirituality. They were the descendants of the Muian people.

Second, the real Maharlikans lived earlier, in the pre-historic times, when the world was much younger, before and after the last great upheaval until after the last ice age.

Third, the Maharlikans were not warriors contrary to prevailing notions because during their times they have no enemies or in conflict with other races, except with nature's law of balance and restoration that destroyed the grandeur of their civilization.

Fourth, the later descendants of the Maharlikan race were those "Ylayas" (Isidro Escare Abeto, 1989) in a land called Ophir, from whom King Solomon obtained ships of gold. During that period the Ylayas have already well established their communities after the cataclysmic event that destroyed the Muian civilization.

Fifth, the Kalantiaw Code (be it a hoax or not) was a later version of a much older code observed during the times of Ophir.

Sixth, the Srivijayan Empire was the later silent assimilator of this land of Ophir bringing with them their Hindu-Malayan culture. This leads to the gradual banishment of the remnants of the Maharlikan people (Ylayas) and their culture as they gradually were assimilated into the Indo-Malayan culture. Those who maintained the Muian ways found the comfort of nature in the hinterlands. The indigenous people (in the Philippines) are now their living descendants.

Seventh, the Srivijayan or Majapahit Empires were aware of the golden age in the history of the Maharlikan people. They themselves inclined to believe they were also descendants of the Maharlikans so they adopted almost everything pertaining the Maharlikan civilization.

Eighth, the nation's treasury of the Maharlikan people were so abundant that when under the Srivijayan-Majapahit Empire these were accumulated and taken as part of the empires’ treasury being the custodians of those wealth meant (only) for the Maharlikan nation.

Nineth, titles like rajah, datu or lakan were of Hindu-Malayan origins. Maharlikan people have no titles except being “maharlikans” which means men of renown, great men or men from the great plane.

Tenth, the Hindu-Malayan people or empires retained the former's title maharajah of the maharlikan from the mahar-loka which later gave rise to what others are now claiming as the Maharlikans (the Filipinos).

NOTE: The Tagean-Tallano clan who are claiming to be the sole owners of the entire archipelago based on a document known as the Original Certificate of Title No. T-01-1, do not belong to the genuine maharlikan lineage. Like the late Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos, the Tagean-Tallano clan were only among the custodians, by virtue of obligations, of the wealth of the Maharlikan kingdom meant for the Filipino people.

When Myth Collides with the Bible

Great City of Normusum (Mu)

"And I, John, saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." 

(Rev. 21:2)

There are numerous creation stories around the world in different cultures but the most popular of all is the story of creation of Adam and Eve by the Elohim (plural for God) in the book of Genesis. But this story is short of details and it resulted to different versions of the creation theory through the help of mythology. An example is the one below:

There was a time eons of years in the ancient pasts when the Gods (Elohim) in the heavens (Maharloka), upon realization of the need to visit the planets they have created, took a ride on their chariots, roamed around in the heavens, and found this planet Gaea (Earth, Eden) they have made so paradisaically beautiful that even themselves were so amused of her beauty. That beauty for their eyes to behold, however, was a shangri-la in waiting having no one to enjoy and to take care of, so they deployed a league of custodians, the Muians, out from their celestial city – the city of Normusum (Mu) to watch over it.

Normusum was a spiritual world floating like a bubble city. It was originally on the higher (fourth) dimension then descended into the third dimension for physical experience. For thousands of years it was orbiting the Earth like a satellite, a mothership, being the guardian and custodian of this planet giving watch to all its geologic and atmospheric conditions. The Muians, the children of Maharloka, the chosen race of celestial beings having with them the characteristics of demi-gods in terms of power, intelligence, wisdom and appearance. They became the first embodiment of intelligent ethereal beings (earthly angels?) into a denser molecular forms as they projected themselves into physical form (third dimension) of beings of their choice. The Muians were genetically hermaphrodites, having both male and female sexes, yet most of them preferred to be male in their projected earthly beings which exemplifies strength and superiority over the females. Then they created the first human species (prototype) out from their kind through a process called cloning or genetic engineering by reducing the pairs of their own chromosomes into 23 making their specimen a level denser of their kind to suit to the earth's atmospheric conditions. They separated the male and female sexes of their new species called maharlikans, meaning "great creations" in recognition to their heavenly origin, the Maharloka. This story is immortalized in many creation stories, such as the story of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis.

The Great City of Normusum found haven as it finally descended and stationed to Earth more or less around 900,000 BCE in an island or continent known today as Mu (Motherland, Havilah), in a region now called the Pacific, protected by a sort of magnetic shield, like crystal dome or bubble. It was a revolving city and the center of Muian government and administration they have ruled together with the Maharlikans they have created. But the Muians males found beauty and desire in the innocence of the Maharlikan women. Thus, in Genesis 6:1-4, it reads, "[when] the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown". This union however was condemned by the Muian high council for it is immoral and contrary to the divine principles of creations. Humans of great statures called the titans (Atlanteans) were born out from this union. This explains the existence of the found fossilized skeletons of the so-called hominids or giants discovered in our times. They were called the Nephilims (men of great stature, giants) mentioned in Genesis 6:4.

And there came the "last great upheaval" caused by volcanic eruptions, when the Earth's ring of fire was so active in its greatest magnitude due to pole shifting and planetary alignment causing earthquakes and floods leaving the lower plains of earth submerged depth under the seas. The Great City of Mu (Motherland) was not spared buried hidden miles beneath the ocean floor. This story however can be interpreted as a punishment by the Elohim for disobeying the divine principles of creations when the Muians mated with the female Maharlikans.
