“The Way Through is The Way Out” – six months after Tablets Of Destiny and Mardukite Systemology Revival

In August 2019, Joshua Free made a special announcement to his underground cabal of Mardukite Chamberlains that participated in his decade-long secret “New Thought” division of Mardukite Ministries (Mardukite Zuism) known originally as the “NexGen Systemology Society” that launched privately in 2011. That announcement was very simple and clear: IT IS TIME.

Tablets of Destiny by Joshua Free The plan to refine an appropriate release of material (published as “Grade-III”) for the public immediately came to fruition and Joshua Free spent the remaining four months of 2019 preparing the way–delivering over 20 workshop lectures, writing and publishing a quarter-of-a-million words, completing the fundamental core of “Mardukite Systemology” in the volumes: TABLETS OF DESTINY: USING ANCIENT WISDOM TO UNLOCK HUMAN POTENTIAL and its practical companion CRYSTAL CLEAR, released simultaneous with the POWER OF ZU introductory seminar.

THE SYSTEMOLOGY HANDBOOK (Complete Grade-III Master Edition Hardcover)

Newly released for 2020 — THE SYSTEMOLOGY HANDBOOK includes a complete Grade-III Mardukite Systemology esoteric research library in one amazing hardcover volume! Here is the definitive textbook for reaching the highest state of knowing and being, a first of its kind, including: “Tablets of Destiny,” “Crystal Clear,” “Mardukite Zuism,” “The Power of Zu,” all materials from “Systemology: Original Thesis” and as an additional bonus: critical materials excerpted from a specially designed Mardukite Master Course for achieving the greatest success on “The Pathway to Self-Honesty.”

THE WAY OUT IS THE WAY THROUGH… THE WAY THROUGH IS THE WAY OUT…

“The “Arcane Tablets” are clear in their presentation of the Cosmos and Cosmic Order of the Chaotic motion enacted in the Physical Universe—and all things in the Physical Universe are indeed in motion, which is why they exist. The Physical Universe also carries the distinction of being defined by things relative to other things. And all things are wave motions—as energy and matter—in space measured across time. Which is what a “wave” is. Most understand this best in relation to distance traveled in a vehicle—as “miles-per-hour” or “kilometers-per-hour” or what have you—which is always given as “space over time” or, if your prefer, “space divided by time.” This is localized knowledge from the point of the Observer or Self—who is not moving, but is actually experiencing motion of the physical mechanics at work. This is why we often refer to these aspects as “relative” at such levels of understanding—therefore, we see, as the first Self-determined act by the sentient Alpha Spirit hero—in this case, “Marduk”—is to understand the Chaos of the Physical Universe and immediately apply efforts to Order it—and essentially, create with it.”

““Cosmological” or “cosmogenetic” origin epics—of which the Enuma Eliš is our most ancient and complete Anunnaki rendering on tablets used to systematize the Human Condition from a Babylonian epicenter—always, by definition, consist of sentient attempts to Order the Chaos. Creation, as we have been able to understand it, is not a true physical “creation” at all, but an ordering. “Marduk” is not, by any means, creating the energy and matter of the Physical Universe—he is applying his Will to be the “spiritual cause” of “physical effects” from a higher point of Awareness that is somehow outside or apart from the Physical Universe. This is clear with the perception of Tiamat—the Law—as suddenly “dualistic”: separating a “higher” encompassing “Spiritual” state of existence from the Physical Universe.”

Tablets of Destiny – Using Ancient Cuneiform Wisdom to Unlock Human Potential

The Joshua Free Publishing Imprint is proud to present the first official Mardukite Systemology publication:

Tablets of Destiny by Joshua Free THE TABLETS OF DESTINY:
USING ANCIENT WISDOM TO UNLOCK HUMAN POTENTIAL
by Joshua Free

Coming Soon in Hardcover (Oct. 31) & Paperback (Nov. 14)!!

There is perhaps no greater enigmatic and potentially powerful facet of Sumerian tradition and Babylonian cuneiform literature than the “Tablet of Destinies”—or “Tablets of Destiny.” Within these pages, Joshua Free presents the first public esoteric knowledge synthesis of wisdom concerning these legendary relics—a presentation far surpassing the scope of any previous academic or scholarly research regarding ancient artifacts and their interpretation.

Elusive lore of the “Tablets of Destiny” constitute the prehistoric heart and soul of Mesopotamian “mythology” and “magic”—to use the most convenient terms applied to its general understanding. But, as a result of these terms, we are offered very little concrete functional or practical knowledge to apply to our lives. Contemporaries in this field are apt to only translate and interpret the “language” of these ancient mysteries, but with little true Self-Honest understanding of what these “words” or “symbols” originally represented to the author that set them down.

In TABLETS OF DESTINY: USING ANCIENT WISDOM TO UNLOCK HUMAN POTENTIAL, Joshua Free essentially maps the highest route to esoteric knowledge—expertly bridging materials from the “Mardukite Core” (Research Library) with the wisdom and latest clarity gleaned by the advanced “NexGen Systemology” New Thought division of the “Mardukite Research Organization.”

Tablets of Destiny by Joshua Free This much anticipated foundation work and public debut of “Mardukite Systemology” provides a concise and accessible guide to the fundamentals of “cosmic ordering” and the “systematization” of the Human Condition, described on cuneiform tablets as “control of the Divine ME” (“may”)—or else, the “Arts of Civilization”—the supreme knowledge and wisdom that commands all true authority of godhood in the heavens and sovereignty on earth.

Actual “Divine” power and wisdom reflected as the TABLETS OF DESTINY appears strongest in our most distant era of the most recent version of human civilization and its inception in the ‘Ancient Near East’. Once collected and united—near the boundaries of Europe, Asia and what we now call the Middle East—it fragmented, then dispersed, throughout the globe in its underground migration as secret doctrines of the “Ancient Mystery School.” To this School, all original spiritual wisdom traditions on earth owe a debt—in spite of the fact that their own cultural pantheistic systems evolved as substandard facsimiles of the aesthetic beauty in true Cosmic Wisdom and holistic perfection reflected in Natural Law that we now know as the “Tablets of Destiny.”

These pages, therefore, represent a milestone step for NexGen humanity toward the total rediscovery and actualization of the original beauty and perfection of Human Potential.

In some instances, a singular clay, stone or metallic specimen represents the iconic or definitive “Tablet of Destiny” relic—Sumerian dub-nam-tar-meš or Akkadian tup šīmāti—as it appears in the most famous spiritual and cosmological teachings of Mesopotamia, particularly the “Enuma Eliš,” or Babylonian Epic of Creation. In other esoteric lore, and in relation to the dispersal (or fragmentation) of a collective body of sacred knowledge, the “Tablet of Destiny”—or what some scholars inappropriately refer to as the Tablet of Destinies—is perhaps only one of seven “Tablets of Destiny”— tuppu šīmāti. This knowledge is regarded as the “Supreme Key” to the Divine “me” (pronounced “may”)—or else the “Arts of Civilization”—used by “gods” and kings to institutionalize a systematization of Human Condition and Reality experience, still in operation after thousands of years.
–Reed Penn, in the Foreword to “Tablets of Destiny”

For nearly a decade these matters of “Mardukite Zuism” and “Mardukite Systemology” remained privately in the domain of an advanced division of the “Mardukite Research Organization” known from its brief public references as the “NexGen Systemological Society” (NSS) governing the new “International School of Systemology” (ISS). This faction has operated in the esoteric underground since 2011, developing a direct extension of the “Mardukite Core” to support research and discovery of continuing work, as it applies to the present state of the Human Condition and its imminent future…

MARDUKITE NECRONOMICON — “Real” ANUNNAKI BIBLE is Origins of Everything! Even Judeo-Christian Scriptures!

Many have long wondered the truth—and it is available to us as clear today as it was thousands and thousands of years ago—impressed on ancient clay tablets… the first true writings at the inception of modern human civilization—some of which extend back to the time of the first societies, the first cities, the first systems, the first…well… everything. And while humanity has had a turbulent history ever since, what has suffered the most in all of this time is precisely the retention, understanding and basic ability to know the truth about the origins of everything. How things came to be what they are today is not as important as a return to the source and rediscovery of the original knowledge—the truth as it was laid out before the convolution of further systems and cultural fragmentation.

Where does one turn for answers?
And are there answers for us?

Sometimes the desire to “know” is not tempered with wisdom and discernment. We have all seen the types that have allowed the pursuit of esoteric knowledge to drive them “crazy”—so vastly interrupting and impeding any sense of “normalcy” that they either fall by the wayside or worse, become forever lost to a personal roller-coaster ride—closed tracked and cyclic, providing perpetual stimulation and the illusion of movement… but what true enlightenment? Where is the ascension if the movement is not perpetually upward—unfolding laden potentials that are not restricted to just what we can conceive of today. We begin to allow ourselves the freedom to achieve these states of higher awareness by acquiring and maintaining “true knowledge” as we process our experience of reality and what is possible.

Fortunately, for the past decade, a group called the “Mardukite Chamberlains” (or “Mardukite Research Organization”) has refined a collection of the most ancient writings on the planet, presented as an amazing source book of renderings drawn from ancient Mesopotamia—the land of Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Chaldeans—and its treasure trove of clay cuneiform tablets, completely translated, beautifully presented and accessible for all to see! What’s more, this amazing book—NECRONOMICON: THE ANUNNAKI BIBLE edited by Joshua Free—has been carefully arranged and developed by those who actually take these matters seriously, not simply an academic interest or scholarly career. The etheric, astral and intellectual gateways that these materials unlock is far beyond what the written word can even express, and must instead be experienced first hand. Will you join us in knowing?

The Most Ancient Sacred Library… at your fingertips! Once Reserved for the Elite: Secrets of Cosmology-Science-Mysticism… Revealed!

Contemporary understanding of ancient civilizations is botched — pure and simple. Where much is uncovered even today, consistently shifting our opinions and timelines stretching around the globe, it cannot be dismissed that in spite of the myriad of findings and symbols among scattered remains, it is the cuneiform tablet libraries of ancient Mesopotamia (what is now Iraq; formerly Sumer and Babylon) that truly give us the first true writing systems. And although we like to call them “books” today, no such objects existed at that time — instead, an entire tradition of preserving knowledge and scientific mysteries emerged in the form of clay tablets, written in a script-style known as cuneiform (and named for its ‘wedge-shaped’ marks).

NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE (10th Anniversary Seventh Edition)

Prolific author and prodigious mystic and philosopher, JOSHUA FREE, has been actively involved in the underground and so-called “New Age” movement for nearly 25 YEARS, first known as “Merlyn Stone” in the mind-1990’s. His personal occult notebooks as a teenager, such as the “Draconomicon” and especially his “Sorcerer’s Handbook” (with more than 2000 copies in circulation before he was 18 years old), have influenced the development of modern practitioners and their traditions for two decades! Pivotal more-intermediate editions such as “Book of Elven-Faerie” and especially the release of “Arcanum: Great Magical Arcanum” literally launched the modern Mardukite movement more than 10 years ago! But where the subject of the Mardukite resurgence is concerned, the most inseparable of all works by Joshua Free is a literary collection known today as the NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE.

“So, in the ancient Realm we peer into, we find not books, but clay tablets; no bibles, but specialized tablet collections — sometimes kept in wooden or gilded boxes, for the elite class of Mesopotamia were all literate. And “temples” of priest-scribes preserved the most ancient knowledge of cosmology, science and etheric spirituality on clay tablets in cuneiform scripts, some more than 5000 years old today. And these were no obscure symbolic primitive picture-glyphs, but explicitly detailed renderings — albeit quite mystifying to the common-folk of the general population who could not read, who could not decipher the mysteries themselves to the degree of that intellectual dimension. Maintaining an Order to the ancient commonwealth, ceremony, traditions and other culture emerged from this lore, but on a public exoteric level designed primarily for the masses with little direct access or discernment of the cuneiform tablets themselves. Such was, as it always has been, kept closely guarded under the highest or most secret echelons of the Realm, who maintained their own lineage of societies within, albeit also separate and apart from, the surface world. Such is what provides us with the substance to work through this work today under its present guise…[the Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible]” — explains Joshua Free, from a recent “Knowledge Lecture” at the Mardukite Babylon Ancient Astronomy Research Office.

NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE edited by Joshua Free, is now celebrating its release of a 10th Anniversary Seventh Edition, the most complete, economical and accessible printing of the original ‘Mardukite Core’ anthology in a decade, just in time for a (NexGen) new generation of Truth Seekers. Of course, it is essential reading for any Mardukite, but even beyond this specific semantic paradigm, it is a must-read for anyone considering themselves a “Truth Seeker.” It is intriguing and refreshing to see this forgotten lore so painstakingly researched from a perspective that is both anthropological and historical, not to mention mystical and spiritually nourishing.

JOSHUA FREE

As a Mardukite Alumni once commented about the work, “Resulting from a [then] fifteen-year journey into the source of ‘New Age’ metaphysical mysteries of the underground, JOSHUA FREE had fallen upon what appeared to be a pure current-stream back to the sources of the most ancient and coveted Babylonian tradition…”

The “Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible” edited by Joshua Free is quite simply a masterpiece of Mesopotamian magic, spirituality and history, providing a complete collection – a grand symphony of correlated materials – of the most ancient writings on the planet.

NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE 10th Anniversary Limited Edition

The oldest of these Sumerian and Babylonian cuneiform tablet records reveal detailed accounts of cosmic history in the universe and on earth, the development of human history and descriptions of world order – all of which were used to maintain spiritual and physical control of humanity – providing to be the predecessor and foundation of global scripture-based religious and mystical traditions thereafter. These raw underground materials have shaped the existence of man’s beliefs and traditions for thousands of years; right from the heart of the Ancient Near East: Sumer, Babylon and even Egypt!

Divine Magic & Secret Holy Names : High Magickal Tradition Origins in Ancient “Alien” Priesthoods

sumerians-65429007-589x171

Above all of the possible magic words to be invoked, the Divine Names are held in the highest regard by priest-magicians and wizards – meaning, of course: “names” for God. Joshua Free explains in the new Fifth Anniversary Second Edition of Mardukite Liber-K: ENOCHIAN MAGIC & KABBALAH: SUMMONING ANGELS, ALIENS, UFOs & OTHER DIVINE ENCOUNTERS.

enochianmagic2017cropsmallPutting aside the more ‘conventional’ implements of the magical arts; the garments and regalia, the tools and sigil seals – it is NAMES and WORDS that appear most significant when encountering ‘higher forms’ of the esoteric mysteries…


Similar to the way in which ‘existence’ becomes more dense and fragmented as the varying lights and veils are perfected until we reach the manifested existence within human perceptual abilities, the Names of God became increasingly ‘mutated’ with time and the myriad of ‘language semantics’ that were later applied to this form of cryptomancy.

Given the emphasis put on ‘words’ and ‘names’ in the Anunnaki tradition – as found evident on Sumerian and Babylonian cuneiform clay tablets – it is not surprising that we should see a mystical lore related to the same carried by the priests and magicians of the later derived system-traditions: the Kabbalah, Egypto-Greek Hermetics and of course native Chaldean and Zoroastrian movements – all of which based on a ‘personal’ relationship with Divinity by means of a ‘secret’ or ‘esoteric’ lore that enabled them to call upon and recognize these ‘forces’.

enochian-banner

Priests of the Anunnaki tradition acted as intermediaries between the human population and the beings perceived as “Divine” that often resided in their very cities, occasionally occupying the ‘ziggurat-temples‘ built on the highest mounds of each region. In the proto-Sumerian traditions, the priest-magicians were the only ones who were able to transmit any communication with the Anunnaki “Sky Gods” of their observed pantheon.

This shifts during the post-Sumerian or Babylonian-Mardukite period, as a rise in local or ‘personal’ magic becomes present among the common folk. During this post-Sumerian period, many individual members of the Anunnaki group became patron ‘central’ deities to different areas, an act that furthered the fragmentation of knowledge.

hammurabi21233 After the magical arts were given to the people, the Hermetic attempts began at ‘unlocking’ the esoteric secrets withheld by the original priests and caretakers of the traditions. Uncovering Divine Names was one of the more ‘paramount’ acts to making the newer systems function – a means of going around the intermediaries socially and politically installed to oversee the religion and spirituality of the people. It is here that we begin to see ‘magic’ as a part of ‘counter-culture’ existing outside of, and in many cases in opposition to, the Realm.

Rather than being a state-religious affair celebrated openly in public view, the practice of magic began to turn ‘inward’ and was pushed further and further underground as the growing populations and varying personalities each had their influence on its character.

Mystical use of the Kabbalah, such as we find with the Enochian system and other methods involved in the late 19th century ‘magical revival’ by members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, is heavily dependent on the use of “Divine Names” or other “less-divine” (even “infernal”) names as words of power. Although derived from the same sources, this is generally typical only of post-Babylonian systems, at the Age of Aries (c.2100 BC).

enochianmagic2017cropsmall We see evidence of it throughout the Hermetic traditions of the last 3,000 years and in virtually every example of ‘magical grimoire’ or ‘tome of magick’ at our disposal. Clearly, the author-carriers of this type of lore treated the names as ‘sacred formulas’ critical to the success of the ‘transcendental operations.

Starting around 2,000 years ago, they started being classified as exactly that: formulas.

UR OF ANTIQUITY – How to Play the Royal Game of Mesopotamian Sumerians (British Museum replica acquired by Mardukites)

NBRheaderSMALLnotuse

THE MESOPOTAMIAN GAME OF UR was lost to the modern world until its excavation from the ancient Sumerian city of UR in the 1920’s, for which it is named after. It rivals the African “Mancala” as the “oldest game in the world.” Its discovery is credited to the British Archaeologist Sir Leonard Wooley when he unearthed an incredible hoard of ancient art pieces for the British Museum and University of Pennsylvania.

wp_20161015_22_57_42_pro THE GAME OF UR “boards” were found in the graves of kings, members of the royal court and priest-magicians who controlled the systemology of Sumerian/Mesopotamian society – the “cradle of modern human civilization.” As a result academicians have also consider “UR OF ANTIQUITY” to be a “Royal Game” of ancient Sumer. The game later appears among royalty and priesthoods of Egypt. Elsewhere, temporary versions of the “board” were even found carved on rocks.

Game pieces — “tokens” and accompanying “dice” — were found with “boards” and we are also fortunate enough to have recovered cuneiform clay tablets describing methods of play.

wp_20161015_22_55_53_pro

Tokens are made from small circular clay “chips” marked on one side with five dots or asterisks, allowing the distinction of the two sides, similar to the “game” use of coins today. There is a set for each player, one dark (black) and one light (white). Complete game sets, allowing for all prescribed methods of play, generally have seven of each type, although only six pieces are used in a standard GAME OF UR.

Dice consist of small dark clay four-sided tetrahedrons – essentially the d4 of today’s role-playing games – with two of the four tips marked white. This means when rolled, there is a fifty percent chance of the dice coming up with a marked “tip.” The dice are used to decide a starting player and during the game to indicate the number of moves allowed in a player’s turn. In a standard GAME OF UR each player uses four of these dice for their rolls, scoring the throws as follows:


1 point = 1 marked tip
2 points = 2 marked tips
3 points = 3 marked tips
4 points = 4 marked tips
5 points = no marked tips


UR GAME (1987)

UR GAME (1987)

The standard GAME OF UR begins with two players, each with six playing tokens and four tetrahedral dice. The dice are thrown for the privilege of going first. The player scoring highest wins this honor. Players then take turns strategically placing their tokens (with the marked side up) onto board squares. When each player has placed all six of their tokens, the next phase of game play ensues.

THE GAME OF UR is won by a player having four of their tokens on four of the identical squares of any one of the three sets of the five identical designs:

— The Flower of Life (a lotus wheel)
— The Four Elements (four eyes and crosses)
— The Heavens and Gods (five dots within circles)

…plus one more of the tokens on one of the other squares:

— The Solar/Fire God (four zig-zag squares with five dots each)
— The Celebration (sixteen dots with crosses)
— The All-God (zig-zag squares or all seeing eye)

UR GAME (British Museum Replica)

UR GAME (British Museum Replica)

After the players have placed their tokens on the board and “there has been no easy winner,” the players take turns moving tokens as determined by the dice count. Players may move a token in any direction (vertical, horizontal or diagonal) jumping either color piece but must finish on an unoccupied space and have not counted any space twice in their move.

When first placed, all six of a player’s tokens are played marked side up. Each time a player moves a token it is flipped over, showing it has been moved or played. A player cannot move or play this token again until all tokens show they have been moved/played. This continues until the object of the GAME OF UR has been achieved or until a player traps their opponent into a position where they cannot move. In many respects, the GAME OF UR resembles elements later found in tic-tac-toe, connect-four, checkers, chinese checkers and chess.
