We all have our beliefs but I have to disagree.
There is no 'paradigm shift'. They are the same stories interpreted differently. Or different stories of the same event from different locations. Noah/Uptanishtim...and so many more correlations.
They are physical, existent beings. They call themselves Gods/Goddess' and demand worship from us while they are visiting our Planet/their Property.
Nothing mystical about them other than better technology and understanding of the laws of the universe, and because of this understanding they can take a position of power over lesser beings.
Their objectives were far too set in the physical to be anything but advanced beings.

It's always awkward talking about the Sumerian pantheon because it's actually the pantheon that much of my ritual and ceremony is focused on yet there's all this talk about aliens from the new age crowd.
To me, they are not aliens; they are actual gods, goddesses, and demons. When understanding the procession and arrival of many of the deities to the scene in history, you begin to see a tapestry showing the changing of an entire age. The evolution from Sumerian to Akkadian to Babylonian to etc is the marking of a patriarchal paradigm shift and also the origins of Judaism (and Christianity, incidentally). These deities are many things to many people. They are literal entities, they are places, they are cultures, and to some, they are "aliens".
My point is that the term "gods" or "goddesses" can refer to many things but I think the Sumerian-gods-were-aliens crowd need to consider the possibility that the gods and goddesses are not aliens but, perhaps, what they think of as aliens are actually gods and goddesses.edit on 19-12-2012 by Cuervo because: clarification
