The Catholic Encyclopedia defines Elohim as a common name for God which has been explained as perhaps a plural of Eloah or as a plural derivative of El. These three words along with the proper name Yahweh were used by the Hebrew.
El defines "the strong one" or "the foremost one" therefore as a suffix to Elohim it would indicate a prime character. In the proper sense it would refer to a singular God character, metaphorically it could represent a King, Angel, a Judge, or it could be a False God.
In the following excerpt from the book "Isis Unveiled" the word Elohim is used in the plural; "...as the Elohim themselves". Basically in this part of Isis Unveiled, the author is examining the mystery of life cycles according to the Brahman Dyvia Yuga timeline.
Was there really a post Adamic race and were they able to communicate on a spiritual level? Lord Brahma is a very old man but he doesn't know this since he doesn't consider time in a linear sense. Now is all he knows. Lord Brahma is a singular concept and physical life is a duality concept. "..until he came to know good and evil as well as the Elohim themselves"..and was cast into a body of flesh.
The oldest esoteric traditions also teach that, before the mystic Adam, many races of human beings lived and died out, each giving place in its turn to another. Were these precedent types more perfect? Did any of them belong to the winged race of men mentioned by Plato in Phaedrus? It is the special province of science to solve the problem. The caves of France and the relics of the stone age afford a point at which to begin.
As the cycle proceeded, man's eyes were more and more opened, until he came to know "good and evil" as well as the Elohim themselves. Having reached its summit, the cycle began to go downward. When the arc attained a certain point which brought it parallel with the fixed line of our terrestrial plane, the man was furnished by nature with "coats of skin," and the Lord God "clothed them."
This same belief in the pre-existence of a far more spiritual race than the one to which we now belong can be traced back to the earliest traditions of nearly every people. In the ancient Quiche manuscript, published by Brasseur de Bourbourg -- the Popol Vuh -- the first men are mentioned as a race that could reason and speak, whose sight was unlimited, and who knew all things at once. According to Philo Judaeus, the air is filled with an invisible host of spirits, some of whom are free from evil and immortal, and others are pernicious and mortal. "From the sons of EL we are descended, and sons of EL must we become again." And the unequivocal statement of the anonymous Gnostic who wrote The Gospel according to John, that "as many as received Him," i.e., who followed practically the esoteric doctrine of Jesus, would "become the sons of God," points to the same belief. (i., 12.) "Know ye not, ye are gods?" exclaimed the Master. Plato describes admirably in Phaedrus the state in which man once was, and what he will become again: before, and after the "loss of his wings"; when "he lived among the gods, a god himself in the airy world." From the remotest periods religious philosophies taught that the whole universe was filled with divine and spiritual beings of divers races. From one of these evolved, in the course of time, ADAM, the primitive man.
Back to the future and 2012 theory.
The majority of people are born with five senses and reality is what we perceive it to be according to our observations through these senses. But was it always like this? The above story would indicate that we are much more than what we perceive as reality. We are descended spirits trapped in a body. Our cells are biological lifeforms of their own and each cell has spirit. The human soul is hitchhiking on these lifeforms. Our true self is not physical at all but suicide is not a way out since it only makes the journey of ascension longer. According to the Brotherhood of the Light we must reincarnate several times and learn how to be heaven worth beings in order to ascend permanently.
The Indigo Children are born with senses that allow them to see and feel the realms that the rest of us only read about. Are they all Children of the Light? I would doubt that since the psychic realm is both the house of good and bad spirit. Are their biological physical self different than the rest of us or is it just their spirit or soul that is more advanced than that of the normal person who knows only five senses. Science describes a human being as a body functioning with several systems with the brain being the interceptor of sympathetic and parasympathetic signals. The brain receives signals from inside the body and from outside the body. The biological body regulates itself and good diet, rest, clean healthy living is the best we can do to protect our shell. In a sense we are souls united to a body. Even the best care we give to the body is sometimes not enough and the biological shell that we cared for dies. This is death of the biological body and the soul must wait in a purgatory state for the higher angels to decide our faith. We eventually reincarnate unless we have accomplished the completion of our soul schooling at which point we ascend permanently. The Brothers of the Light would call that becoming a Master.
All this 2012 consciousness stuff can seem very confusing. Maybe it's all crap. There are so many interpretations of ascension. Bible evangelicals want you to buy into their form of rapture. Esoteric schools such the Brothers tell you that 2012 is just the gate of to the Golden age and the whole process will take 2000 years to complete. Then there's the late McKenna who thinks the ascension may have to do with biological UFO's or the orb type that are currently being investigated by NASA conspiry advocates. I'm a big fan of that one. I could picture my soul occupying a jelly fish like structure able to move from one universal dimension to the next just by thinking it so. It would certainly beat reincarnating as a mosquito.
The more i read about different concepts of what 2012 might bring about the more unique my own interpretation becomes. I don't buy into the dogmatism of any one particular school of thought.
So far i've worked it down to aliens who will come through a stargate from the staff of Ophiucus to save the worthy souls before the world implodes and gets rid of the evil naturally. Once the planet harmonizes itself then these good souls who have learned to work with extra senses (like the Indigo Children of the Light) are returned to recolonize and live on a heaven on earth for a thousand years or so.
Not far behind this alien saviours scenario i imagine that humanity destroys the biological human organism along with the rest of the planet or that through natural cycles such as the mesoamerican long count calendars or the Kali Yuga or the solar cycle destructive forces that the soul journey continues, good against evil on another plane.
It's really a strange feeling to sit with your body and think that it isn't yours. You are just along for the ride. What will become of that human organism is beyond me. All i know is that i have to feed it to continue to live in it. I hope in holds up to December 21, 2012 just so i can wake up on December 22 and say "Dang, i've been duped again!!!!!"
