Enlil Saturn pattern
[From: "Keeper of the Celtic Secrets"]
A STUDY OF THE ENLIL PATTERN - Enlil was the chief Lord of early civilization on Earth, and part of the Elohiym godhead, aka EL.

      The pattern for Enlil portrays responsibility exercising the ultimate in endurance with Enlilpurposeful restrictions and controls, intended to preserve, teach, stabilize, and regulate life on Earth in the most productive manner. Enlil was the driving force behind the organization and structure of man's environment and he always exercised extreme caution before making advancements here on Earth. Following the life pattern of Enlil meant many hardships, setbacks, suffering, and unpopularity. However, ultimately, after traveling the long road of perseverance, enduring hardships, keeping one’s nose to the grindstone, remaining faithful to one’s credence, and striving for perfection, the final reward is, at last, reached, This is the pattern of Enlil.

      To be isolated from all trials of endurance, suffering, and hardships, without experiencing the lessons that come with these character-building tests, is not the way of Enlil, for it does not bring balance and strength to one’s soul. The freebee programs set up by the federal government, and offered to those unwilling to endure the character-building tests of life on their own merits, present a good example of this point.  Enlil would prefer that one ‘walk the walk’ on their own volition, to experience life’s hardships as learning experiences, and not accept a free ride for the major part of one's life, for in the process of the experience, many character-building attributes can be gained. [Note: there are times when assistance is actually needed, and it is not wrong to accept help occasionally. When this help is abused, is when the pattern shifts away from the Enlil-way, to a more liberal pattern.]

      The pattern for Enlil consistently seeks to preserve that which is natural to the Earth, as well as providing for humanity the best possible scenario overall. Enlil has the ability to see the [end] result in advance, and knows, which road must be taken in order to avoid destruction and chaos ahead. He is both determined and willing to adhere to what he believes is right, knowing that if he remains loyal and steadfast, the rewards will be long lasting, sound, and eternal. The pattern for Enlil is the ultimate in seeking perfection, order, conservation, caution, and ambition. Here, there is no allowance for waste or non-essentials.

      Following the pattern for Enlil was considered the ‘way of life’, as it would preserve that which was natural, strengthen that which was weak, implement without destruction, and it was a hard-tedious life of living off the land. ‘If you want to eat – you labor’, ‘if you want a family – you become responsible’. This is the way of Enlil – hard, but it brings the most long-term benefits, success, and experience.

      In order to adhere to the strict pattern of Enlil, sound discipline is necessary – both self-discipline and karmic discipline becomes highly essential. Without discipline, the way of Enlil quickly falls into that path more heavily traveled – that of Enki.
