Why So Many Abrahams?
       
        Did you know that there were several Abrahams who walked the Earth from various cultures around the world? Each character starting out with the same shorter name that gets extended by the addition of an 'H'.  Were there several different Abrahams, or the same story being retold in different cultures about the same man?

        There was Abram, Brama, Abriman, Abarama, Ammurabi - are they all the same person?  Or individual separate characters? My theory is they all represent the same character in a story that is as old as time - told to explain the origins of the race.  The original character may have been, or may not have been, a real  person in history. Here is a list of a few of the Abrams that lived

Abram to Abraham - born about 2000 BCE
Brama to Brahma
Abriman to Ahriman
Abarama to Ahriman
and perhaps:
Amrb to Hammurabi - born about 1920 BCE
HMRB as Hammurabi i.e. BRMH as Abraham


        Abraham's name was once a shorter version - 'Abram', but later during his life 'Abram', the name, was extended by adding 'h' and he then became Abraham. 'Abram', the name, means 'lifted up', or 'exalted'.

        Abraham's story is not unique to the Hebrew Scriptures, for we find in India they had a Hindu 'Brama' who was the Hindu Creator, or father of his people. Later the Hundus added an 'h' to his name making it 'Brahma', just as an 'h' was added to 'Abram', making it Abraham. Adding the 'h' to Brama declared that this man was the father of his people.

        In Persia the name of their prophet was originally 'Abriman, who also acquired an 'h' and became Ahriman.
The Babylonians also had their Abraham - spelled 'Abarama' - not to be confused with Hammurabi [see below].
The Hebrew Abraham took a wife, Sarai, to which an 'h' was added to make her name 'Sarah'. Brahma's wife was also 'Shri'. If you take the 'a' vowels out of Sarai and add an 'h', it becomes very similiar to the Brahma' wife  - 'Shri'.
I am told that Sarai means 'wife', much the same as 'squaw' means wife to the Native American Indians.

        The letter 'h' signifies life force (ulam i.e. lower animal part of man's existence), and had to be added to the essence of their existence in order to create the cycle of life.  In the beginning, Abram was the ideal of our highest possible exalted self, but in order to become the father of nations, in order to pass on the order of Ascension, he had to become one with the lower self ego.  In so doing, Abraham became the Father of many nations, no matter which culture or religion you chose to view the coded message - the lesson was all the same.

        When Abraham made the sincere attempt to offer up his 'lower self' (portrayed biblically as his son, Isaac), he had once again returned to God in the 'lifted up' i.e. the highest self realm of existence, on the evolutionary scale of Ascension.

Note: "Hammurabi was born in Babylon [now  Iraq]. He died c. 1750 BCE. Hammurabi was the sixth and best-known ruler of the 1st (Amorite) dynasty of Babylon (reigning c. 1792–50 BCE), noted for his surviving set of laws The Code of Hammurabi, once considered the oldest promulgation of laws in human history.  Hammurabi bore a tribal Amorite name belonging to the Amnanum."

         What about the Hebrew Abraham - did he really intend to offer his son as a bloody sacrifice? 

        Think about it - why would an Almighty Creator of the entire Universe and beyond, desire bloody sacrifices of ANYONE? The ignorance of ancient people, mixed with their pagan ways, warped their entire sense of reality. Luckily, today, we have the good sense, logic, and reasoning, to know the difference between pagan acts and thought patterns, and reality. Blood sacrifices are taboo and equal to the thinking of primitive Africans, [in certain parts of that continent that is], who still do make such pagan blood sacrifices to their gods.

        Surely, logic tells us that it would have been something from the list below that Abraham actually offered to sacrifice - not the sacrificing of his actual son.  Abraham’s sacrifice could have amounted to giving up of a strong boisterous ego, or perhaps sexual lust, or the love of material things - or anything of like nature - but NOT a bloody sacrifice of his son. To have the intent of offering up a bloody sacrifice of his physical son would have been pagan and contrary to wisdom and logic - which are attributes of wisdom from the REAL Creator.  ANY god who would require blood-sacrifices does not represent the true Great Spirit Creator of all wisdom and LIGHT [knowledge]. Remember, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree - if your god required a blood sacrifice - think heathen god.
 
      On the other hand, Abraham's story may have been solely for our benefit, not affecting Abraham’s benefit at all.  Abraham was first perfect and needed no sacrifices - Abraham, in all cultures, was a teacher. The lesson was that we do need to give up things that keep us from evolving [progressing] spiritually. We must Ascend into a higher realm of spirituality and will not achieve that goal unless we 'sacrifice' that which is holding us in bondage - things such as you see in the list below. Warning: do not offer to sacrifice your children or your red heifers - this is pagan and the Great Spirit will surely attribute it to pagan ways and heathen traditions.
This list of ‘sacrificial animals’ shows the kind of offerings to sacrifice, i.e., to GET RID OF, for the purpose of Spiritual growth and evolution of souls. It is not that the Elohiym desired or needed the sacrifices, but rather, the Elohiym were instructing man on how to get rid of these offensive ‘animals’ for man’s personal spiritual progression. Sins are of different strengths and levels of impurity - some more severe than others. There are minor sacrifices too, called ‘bird sacrifices’ - these can be compared to little white lies, or minor sins, such as telling fibs, cheating on an exam, vanity, irritableness, and over-eating, for example.

The more your ‘sin’ injures others, the greater the sin - if the ‘sin’ only hurts you, it can still be a ’sin’ because it prevents your Spiritual growth, but that is what life is all about - the growth and evolution of the soul. The ultimate goal is Spiritual ASCENSION!

        Why speak to you as if you were an ancient people? Because most people are still of that mentality.  Jesus was not a blood sacrifice required by the Great Spirit Creator - and the Great Spirit Creator would not require animal sacrifices when, and if, a 3rd Jewish Temple is constructed.  THESE ARE PATTERNS OF THE HEATHEN WAY OF THINKING AND ARE PAGAN.
