Grandpa Bill today overviews The Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia. It is the oldest known work of literature, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. The epic tells the story of Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, and his quest for immortality. The epic is divided into 12 tablets, each of which tells a different part of Gilgamesh's story. The first tablet introduces Gilgamesh as a powerful but tyrannical king. The gods, responding to the people's pleas, create Enkidu, a wild man, to challenge Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh and Enkidu become fast friends, and together they embark on many adventures. They defeat the monster Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven, and they travel to the Cedar Forest, where they cut down a sacred tree. However, Enkidu dies soon after their return to Uruk. Gilgamesh, grief-stricken, sets out on a quest to find the secret of immortality. He travels to the ends of the earth and meets many strange and wonderful creatures, including the goddess Ishtar and the immortal sage Utnapishtim. In the end, Gilgamesh does not find the secret of immortality, but he does learn to accept his own mortality. He returns to Uruk and rules wisely until his death. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a complex and multi-layered work. It can be read as a story about friendship, adventure, and loss. It can also be read as a meditation on the nature of mortality and the meaning of life. The epic has been translated into many languages and is still widely read today. It is a classic work of world literature and a valuable source of insight into the ancient Mesopotamian worldview. Here are some of the key themes of the Epic of Gilgamesh: Friendship: Gilgamesh's friendship with Enkidu is one of the central themes of the epic. Their friendship is deep and enduring, and it helps Gilgamesh to grow and change. Adventure: Gilgamesh is a restless and adventurous spirit. He is always seeking new challenges and new experiences. His quest for immortality takes him to all corners of the known world. Loss: Gilgamesh experiences the loss of his friend Enkidu, which forces him to confront his own mortality. This loss helps him to become more compassionate and understanding. Mortality: The Epic of Gilgamesh is a meditation on the nature of mortality and the meaning of life. Gilgamesh's quest for immortality ultimately fails, but he learns to accept his own mortality and live life to the fullest. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a powerful and moving story that has resonated with readers for centuries. It is a story that explores universal themes such as friendship, adventure, loss, and mortality.

In this months This Old Tree host Doug Still talks to John Perlin Historian, author of A Forest Journey: The Role of Trees in the Fate of Civilization. The two discuss the story of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh, the Sumerian king of Uruk, threatens to cut down the sacred Cedar Forest and claim its wood for his people. First, he must kill the terrifying guardian of the forest, Humbaba. Can he do it? What will the gods think, and what will it mean for humanity? The story's message is central to John Perlin's republished book, A Forest Journey: The Role of Trees in the Fate of Civilization. Forests, and the wood they provide, have been crucial to human society since the beginning of recorded time, and now the fight against climate change. But what does history tell us about how we treat them?

This is a powerful meditation I take you too a magical enchanted forest. This will allow you to relax and connect to the source of all that is. The idea of an enchanted forest is one of the oldest in storytelling. This wild space represents the shortcomings of man's power, a place where anything can happen. Take the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, where the heroes travel to the Cedar Forest to fight monsters, or Tolkien's Mirkwood, derived from Norse mythology, considered so magical even the gods were wary of entering it. We're still inundated by enchanted forests. From our enduring fairy tales like Snow White to modern sagas like Harry Potter, the forest has become an essential stop on the hero's journey, a place of danger and possibility and adventure. In these forests, characters don't only lose their literal way, but often their metaphoric one as well. The trees bring out our primal side; Dante's journey to hell begins in a shadowy forest, and after getting lost in the woods, the Emperor Jones is driven insane by his own memories. Robert B Stone in his book  How to Gain Strength from Nature Sitting in Your Living Room: Tapping Natural Sources of Energy Wherever You Are states: Have you ever relaxed from stress by taking a walk in the park? Have you ever been invigorated by a swim in the lake or ocean? Have you ever been inspired by mountain vistas? Well, then you know some of the powers that nature has to contribute to your wellbeing. What most people don't know is that they can derive these benefits from nature without budging from the concrete city.   These benefits can be not only stress relief, vigor and inspiration, which are aids respectively to mind, body and spirit, but they can run the gamut of holistic therapies.   Medicinal therapies for what ails the mind, body and spirit can be a chemical shock and can have unwanted after effects called counter-indications. Nature's therapies obtained directly can have counter-indications, too. You can fall off a cliff; you can twist your ankle hiking; you can drown in the sea; you can encounter a lightning storm; you can acquire a poison rash; you can be hit by a landslide; you can be bitten by insects or wild animals.   But nature's therapies can be obtained indirectly, too, and therefore not only free of risk, but free of the expenditures of travel costs, time and some of the discomforts associated with leaving your residence. Plus, there are no unwanted after effects. ... This is not a Thoreau or a Rachel Carson approach to nature. In fact, it is an approach that has only been made possible in the past decade. It gives the reader ways to take one or two minutes to acquire the invigoration and therapeutic effects that only closeness to nature can provide, and to do so in the comfort of an urban living room.   What makes this possible now are several scientific advances. These include a fuller understanding of the relaxation response; of the morphogenetic field put forth by Dr. Rupert Sheldrake echoing Karl Jung's collective unconscious; and of the special attributes of the right hemisphere of the human brain." Join me as I take you to the enchanted forest where anything is possible. Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 Listen my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Music By MettaverseSound Bath In A Forest ➤ Listen on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2KjGlLI➤ Follow them on Instagram: http://bit.ly/2JW8BU2➤ Join them on Facebook: http://bit.ly/2G1j7G➤ Subscribe to their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyvjffON2NoUvX5q_TgvVkw All My Neville Goddard Videos In One Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo8kBZsJpp3xvkRwhbXuhg0M Sleep Meditations - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo_5Sv8NSXuDWudAVmoDns6Z Guided Meditations https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo_BfNnb5vLcwouInskcEhqL All my videos about Dr. Joseph Murphy - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo_OtBhXg2s85UuZBT-OihF_ For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Reality-Revolution-Podcast-Hosted-By-Brian-Scott-102555575116999 Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 Subscribe to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw Contact us at media@advancedsuccessinsitute.com#lawofattraction #guidedmeditation #enchantedforest 

This is part one of the Epic of Gilgamesh. In this episode, we will meet the Wildeman Enkidu and Gilgamesh, following their adventure through the Cedar Forest and battling the Champion of the gods. But don't let the action fool you, you'll want to have tissues handy.

"He who saw the Deep" are the first words of the standard version of The Epic of Gilgamesh, the subject of this discussion between Melvyn Bragg and his guests which was first broadcast in 2016. Gilgamesh is often said to be the oldest surviving great work of literature, with origins in the third millennium BC, and it passed through thousands of years on cuneiform tablets. Unlike epics of Greece and Rome, the intact story of Gilgamesh became lost to later generations until tablets were discovered by Hormuzd Rassam in 1853 near Mosul and later translated. Since then, many more tablets have been found and much of the text has been reassembled to convey the story of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk the sheepfold, and Enkidu who the gods created to stop Gilgamesh oppressing his people. Together they fight Humbaba, monstrous guardian of the Cedar Forest, and kill the Bull of Heaven, for which the gods make Enkidu mortally ill. Gilgamesh goes on a long journey as he tries unsuccessfully to learn how to live forever, learning about the Great Deluge on the way, but his remarkable building works guarantee that his fame will last long after his death.

In part 2 of this 3-part series, Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu venture into the sacred cedar forest to confront the demon Humbaba and make great names for themselves. These actions and motivations may seem questionable today, and raise questions about the enduring value of the ancient story. What do these two have to teach us about the human condition? Do they simply illustrate timeworn heroic values—for better or for worse--- or does this poem connect past and present in a meaningful, useful way?A transcript of this podcast is available at www.mythicmojo.com.
