1-021, Named 'Heaven . . . & Earth'

(Author’s note: I believe it worthy to mention here that the Upper Palace was named ‘Heaven’ by the oldest of the Ancients who first sojourned into the unknown beyond the outer walls.  Out there, in the ‘Eres’, translated ‘Earth’ in our tongue, travelers had to fend for themselves or carry supplies enough with them for their journeys.  The paved highway, beginning at the east wall and leading west toward what would later be called the ‘Majestic’, became known as the ‘road to Samayim’, translated ‘Heaven’ or ‘Heights’ in our tongue.

Both words, Eres and Samayim, are said to be phonetic pronunciations from the language of the Ones Who Came Before, as the oldest of the Ancients recalled from hearing the words spoken.  Eres literally means ‘to go away from’, as in ‘going away from what is known’.  Samayim has the understanding of ‘becoming satisfied’, as in ‘filled up with every good pleasure’.

So it was, when the first children of the First Age ventured into the wilderness, they spoke of going into the Eres.  After a long and exhausting journey, often filled with sacrifice and privations, the Eastern Gate, where the paved highway began, meant they were close to the luxuries of home.  Being on the road to Heaven symbolized being near one’s reward for having succeeded in accomplishing the return journey.  Now the riches of home were no longer a dream or hope, but a reality.

As the children reached further into the wilderness, eventually leaving EdenEsonbar, the home planet, they carried the name ‘Eres’ with them to symbolize their going into the unknown.  When the Second Realm or Second Universe was revealed to them as a place they would one day go, the name ‘Eres’ was given to it.  Later, the sons of men on Earth were given that name for their home planet and, by the time of the Great Flood, were calling the land of the children’s dwelling place ‘Heaven’.) . . .
