The science fiction movie
“Prometheus” explores theories on the origins of humanity and their
relation to extra-terrestrial visitors. While most might find this
premise very “fictional”, many aspects of the movie actually
symbolically reflect some beliefs and philosophies of the occult elite.
We’ll look at the esoteric meaning of the movie “Prometheus”.
Warning: Major spoilers ahead!
There is no shortage of movies involving angry aliens these days and we can definitely add Prometheus
to the list. However, while most of these alien flicks are centered
around shooting them in their ugly faces before they destroy Earth, Prometheus
has a back story dealing with timeless questions puzzling humanity such
as “Where do we come from?” and “Why are we here?”… plus a healthy dose
of shooting aliens in their ugly faces.
Directed by Ridley Scott, the movie was originally intended to be a prequel to the classic 1979 movie Alien, but the final product has little relation to it. The movie tells the story of scientists that discover ancient artifacts depicting visitors from another planet. To investigate this discovery, the scientists
get the backing of a giant corporation and embark on space mission to
find the planet the aliens came from and to ask them important
questions. The premise is based on the Ancient Astronauts theory, which
stipulates that thousands of years ago, early humans were in contact
with a superior alien race.
As the movie’s name suggests, Prometheus
is also filled with mythological references and symbolism that give the
movie an underlying esoteric meaning. While the movie is, at face
value, about humans going into space to find their alien creators, Prometheus can
also be viewed as a metaphor for spiritual illumination as it is
portrayed by occult secret societies. Let’s look at the concepts
explored in the movie.
The Engineers?
At the beginning of the movie, a humanoid alien debarks on Earth and drinks a strange liquid.
An alien is dropped off on Earth by a massive spaceship.
After drinking the liquid, the alien completely disintegrates and falls into the water.
The alien is disintegrated at its very core, at the DNA level and interacts with the Earth’s water to create a new life form.
In the water, the DNA triggers a
biogenetic reaction and, on a microscopic level, we see single cells
beginning to multiply themselves. This is the movie’s theory on how
human life appeared on Earth.
The movie’s title screen shows a single cell multiplying itself, creating life on Earth.
The movie then fast forwards to 2089,
where two archeologists, Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway, are
searching a cave in Scotland. There, they discover a painting drawn by a caveman that depicts humans looking towards a star formation in the sky. The researchers discover that this particular star formation can be found in the art of several ancient cultures.
The star formation in this cave painting is similar to star formations found in ancient Egyptian, Sumerian and Mayan art.
The archeologists believe that aliens (whom they call the “Engineers”) came from this particular star formation and spread human life on Earth. This causes them to embark on a space mission to find that planet and seek answers from the Engineers.
The premise of the movie is heavily
inspired by the “Ancient Astronauts” theory originally proposed by
authors such as Eric Von Daniken and Robert Temple. According to those
theories, humanity was either created or “helped” by visitors from
another planet, who left lasting traces on human history.
The director of Prometheus, Ridley Scott, appears to believe this theory. In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, he stated:
Ancient Astronauts
Proponents of the Ancient Astronauts
theory believe that much of human knowledge, culture and religion are
remnants of an alien “mother culture”. Ancient monuments considered to
be too advanced for the technology of the time such as Stonehedge,
Easter Island and the Great Pyramid of Giza are considered to be proof
of alien contact. Eric Von Daniken also claims that ancient art and
iconography throughout the world contain depictions of space vehicles,
non-human intelligent creatures and advanced technology.
He claims that cultures that had no contact with one another had
similar themes in their art, proving that there was a common source for
their knowledge.
An actual cave painting found in Italy that is said to depict Ancient
Astronauts visiting earth. This image was probably the inspiration for
the cave painting found in Prometheus.
Egyptian hieroglyph said to depict flying machines.
In Prometheus, similarities between Egyptian, Mayan, Sumerian and other civilization’s artifacts prompt the research team to travel to space and seek humanity’s “Engineers”.
Proponents of the Ancient Astronauts
theory claim that many ancient religious texts contain references to
visitors from outer space. Two of the main works often cited are the
Book of Genesis and the Book of Enoch, which both mention the existence
on Earth of enigmatic giant beings named the Nephilim.
The Watchers and the Nephilim
The Book of Genesis mentions the
presence on Earth of beings named Nephilim (the King James version uses
the term Giants). These beings are described as hybrids that are the result of procreation between human females and “sons of Gods”.
mentioned again, described as giant destructive beings that appeared
quite different from regular humans.
expands on the Nephilim and their originators, the Watchers. According
to the text dating from 300 BC, the Watchers were a group formed of 200
“sons of God” who disobeyed God and descended to Earth to breed with
humans. They were said to have taught humans advanced skills such as
metallurgy, metal working, cosmetics, sorcery, astrology, astronomy and meteorology. Because the Watchers disobeyed God, they were also called the Fallen Angels.
The offspring of the Watchers were the
Nephilim, described as giants who lived among humans. They ultimately
became a destructive presence on Earth and were said to have consumed
“all acquisitions of men”. In order to rid these beings from Earth
(along with the humans who mixed with them) God created the Great Flood.
In order ensure the survival of humanity, however, Noah was forewarned
by God to build his ark.
Another ancient Jewish text, The Book of
Jubilees, states that ten percent of the disembodied spirits of the
Nephilim were allowed to remain on Earth after the flood, as demons, to
try to lead humans astray until the Final Judgement. Is this why the
occult elite is so bent on corrupting the masses with materiality and
perversion?
So who were the Watchers and the
Nephilim? Many different researchers have proposed many different
interpretations, including a class of rich humans, demons or an ancient
super-race. Proponents of the Ancient Astronaut theory believe that they
were actually aliens that were sent to Earth to oversee the evolution
of humanity – hence their name “the Watchers”.
The premise of Prometheus is
greatly influenced by this theory as the aliens in the movie are giant
beings who came to Earth to create and teach humanity.
The crew finally meets one of its “Engineers”, a giant alien.
Unfortunately, the alien didn’t feel like having a discussion on the
origins of humanity and ripped David the Android’s head off (the guy on
the left).
Discovering that aliens were part of
human evolution is not important from a scientific standpoint alone, but
also from a spiritual one, as it could potentially render many
religions completely obsolete. All belief systems would be thoroughly
questioned, or at least revised to include the “alien angle”.
Spiritual Dilemma
The spiritual implications of the space
mission are subtly reflected in the movie, through various scenes
questioning the relevancy of Christianity in this alien-engineered
context.
At the beginning of the trip, the Captain of the ship installs a
Christmas tree. He is asked by his superior “What the hell is that?”, to
which the Captain answers: “It’s Christmas!”. The fact that this
history-altering space mission takes place during Christmas time (the
holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ) gives it a religious
meaning.
Elizabeth, the hero of the movie, proudly and prominently wears a
Christian cross around her neck. This pendant becomes symbolic of the
spiritual dilemma that results from the findings of the mission.
When the ship arrives at its destination, the crew discovers a deserted building built by an alien civilization
containing … dead aliens. After running tests on one of the bodies, the
crew realize that aliens are indeed the originators of human life on
Earth. In other words, the Ancient Astronauts theory is correct and
being from another planet were indeed the “Engineers” of humanity. Once
Elizabeth confirms this discovery to her boyfriend Charlie, he
immediately questions her on the validity of her cross pendant:
contradiction between believing in Christianity and in the Ancient
Astronauts theory simultaneously. She still believes that God is the
first creator of everything … but now she has to add aliens to the
equation.
After this profound discussion,
Elizabeth and Charlie get horny and have spaceship sex. What the couple
doesn’t know is that Charlie was injected with alien DNA by David, an
android.
Before Charlie visited Elizabeth in her quarters, David, a robot with
an inquisitive mind, tricks Charlie into drinking a beverage containing
alien DNA, knowing that he would copulate with Elizabeth and she would
therefore give birth to a half-alien child. Notice the Christmas tree in
the background.
The couple copulates without protection
and Elizabeth soon learns that she is pregnant. She immediately realizes
that her pregnancy is very, very wrong, as her child is not human and
very hostile. Considering the fact that the mission takes place during
Christmas time, Elizabeth becomes a kind of anti-Virgin Mary. Instead of
giving birth to the Christ, she will give birth to a half-alien
creature … not unlike the Nephilim.
Upon discovering her pregnancy, Elizabeth’s cross pendant is removed
and stored away, symbolically meaning that her Christian faith is not
valid anymore.
Elizabeth manages to “abort” the
monstrosity. Then, the mission goes terribly wrong and everyone dies
except her. After almost giving up, Elizabeth apparently has an epiphany
and becomes determined to discover the truth about the aliens.
Apparently, they abandoned humanity a long time ago and they were even
planning to destroy earth. Something must have gone very wrong with
human evolution.
At the end of the movie, she puts the
cross back around her neck, signifying that she did not lose faith and
that her quest for truth is now greatly spiritual. It is not about
science anymore, but about the basic human need of having existential
questions answered.
Elizabeth puts back her cross and is determined to find the truth about the alien Engineers.
The entire movie can be interpreted as a spiritual metaphor – a quest for enlightenment. The title of the movie itself, Prometheus, is greatly indicative of the underlying esoteric meaning of the movie.
Prometheus and the Quest for Enlightenment
In Greek mythology, Prometheus is a
Titan, the primeval race of deities that came before the Olympians. He
stole fire from the gods in order to give it to humanity – an act that
enabled progress and civilization. For accomplishing the act of bringing
fire (a symbol of divine knowledge) to humanity, Prometheus became an
important figure in the mythology of Mystery schools, such as
Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism, which are based on the usage of occult
knowledge in order to achieve godhood.
Prometheus, a favorite figure of the Illuminist elite, is prominently displayed in the Rockefeller Center.
The Judeo-Christian equivalent of
Prometheus is Lucifer, a “fallen angel” of great intelligence who, once a
favorite of God, then defied him and brought a new form of knowledge to
mankind. The name Lucifer is Latin for “light-bringer”, which is
exactly what Prometheus accomplished by bringing fire to man. This
“light” is said to be the occult knowledge taught in Mystery Schools, as
it allows “enlightened humans” to ascend back to godhood.
The story of the Watchers and the
Nephilim described above also appear to follow the same archetype as it
tells the story of “sons of God” rebelling against his rule and
descending to Earth, teaching humanity important knowledge. Also, like
Lucifer, the Watchers are dubbed “Fallen Angels”. Where therefore see
that there’s a lot of inter-connectivity in these mythos and in the
movie’s symbolism,.
At the beginning of the space trip, the
president of the corporation funding the mission holds a briefing and
gives a speech regarding the importance of the mission:
the spaceship that transports humans to their alien Enginneers. It
symbolically represents humans using the “fire” (knowledge) that was
given to them to ascend back to godhood (their alien creators) by their
own means. This metaphor of spiritual initiation is reminiscent to the
many mythological stories found throughout History that hide a similar
esoteric meaning.
However, Mystery Schools believe that illumination is not given to all, but only to a chosen few and this is aptly reflected in Prometheus.
In the movie, all of the people who were on board for selfish, monetary
or insincere purposes died. Only the one that was there for the truth
and with a strong spiritual faith survived. This type of narrative is
on-par with allegorical stories of spiritual illumination stating that
only the true of heart will reach that higher state of being.
Other than Elizabeth, another non-human character survived, David the Android.
Towards the end of the movie, David gets his head cut off but, since
he’s a robot, he stills functions. Elizabeth takes the head and
continues her journey, symbolically meaning that she needs pure
intellect and technology to reach enlightenment.
David has great intellectual capacity,
making him believe that he is superior to his human colleagues. Despite
this fact, he is nevertheless crucial to Elizabeth’s quest – a subtle
message stating that transhumanism is important in human evolution.
At the end of the movie, David does not
understand why Elizabeth desires to continue her search for her
creators. The difference is that she has a soul and he doesn’t. It is
for this reason that she put back the cross around her neck. Her quest
is not simply a space mission, it is a spiritual pilgrimage to discover
where she comes from.
In the final scene of the movie, Elizabeth decides to not go back to
Earth (representing materiality and the lower self) and continues to
search for the Engineers (representing illumination and godhood). Her
quest is therefore not over … and there might be a sequel.
In Conclusion
While most moviegoers probably stepped out of the Prometheus
thinking that it was a “decent alien movie”, digging a little deeper
into its meaning and symbolism reveals an entire other layer of
interpretation. Drawing inspiration from the Ancient Astronauts theory, Prometheus
proposes a radical rewrite of history and theology, one that makes
humanity a product of extra-terrestrial “creator gods”. The movie also
intermixes this quest for scientific knowledge with spiritual and
metaphysical questions, making this story not only about angry aliens,
but about timeless existential questions.
As the title of the movie suggests, the
story of humans going into space to find their creators has an
underlying esoteric meaning, as it can be interpreted as a metaphor for
spiritual enlightenment. The Titan Prometheus is a central figure in
occult mystery schools, an archetypal figure of a “rebel from above”
that brought divine knowledge to humanity – with all the benefits and
pitfalls it engenders. Occult secret societies believe that this
knowledge provides the path back to divinity. The same way the spaceship
Prometheus leaves earth to find the Engineers, occult initiates look to
leave the material plane to reach illumination and “be one” with the
Great Architect of the Universe.
That being said, is there any truth to
the many stories and mythologies referring to a divine figure coming
from above to impart knowledge to humanity? Do the figures of
Prometheus, Lucifer, and the Watchers of the Book of Enoch have factual
basis to them? Is there an “outside” source for humanity’s advanced and
esoteric knowledge? Was there once a Nephilim-type “super-race” on Earth
helping humanity develop itself, but ultimately corrupted it? Is this
the “missing link” in human evolution? Is it the reason why humanity is
self-destructive and somehow out-of-synch with the rest of the planet?
Does this outside source come from aliens as suggested in Prometheus
or from fallen angels and/or demons as written in ancient texts? Is
this outside source behind the teachings of secret societies and behind …
the Illuminati?
