Gods (Lake)

. . . in the midst of the gods . . . 

 - From Psalm 82

Psalm 82 reads like a summation of what happened to the heroic "gods" of antiquity.

All myths and legends have a basis in truth, and there obviously were some very powerful, or resourceful figures that inspired the pantheon of Roman, Greek, and Norse deities; and all of the gods found in every culture on Earth.

Polytheism is real. It's just not what you might think it is.

There were some angelic brings, or aliens, or exceptionally gifted humans, from way back before there was a blended and diverse bloodline, or before the earth's environment began to do its damage to human DNA. There was something like a casting out of Heaven, of the rebellions angels, or people. They became mortal . . . or more like us.

Or maybe the intermingling with humans so watered down their traits that today they only appear as occasional talents to mortal humans

I'm doing a lot of speculating. I'm playing devil's advocate. But it's too bad Science and Faith cannot get together to try to understand all of it.

But this is what's meant by making all things balanced, and leveled. God will get us all to be equals. Except that, when we are equal to one another, it will no longer be by dropping all of us to the lowest common denominator. God will elevate all of us to our most wonderful, beautiful, talented, and powerful.

It has been a fantastic narrative, from Eden to the present. And it will continue to be so.
