"The unfoldment in the present is merely becoming aware of that experience through which the individual, either in a body or in mind — has passed in a consciousness."

The Way of Full Recovery

— enriched by the new experience — comes plain as takes place the enlightenment

Oannès: 

I, the first consciousness of chaos, arose from the abyss that I might harden matter, and give law unto forms.

Oannes et le Sphinx, 1910,

The Apkallu, or Abgal, are seven sages in Sumerian mythology, demigods created by the god Enki (or Ea) from the ocean to establish a culture and give civilization (mainly the Me (𒈨 Sumerian: me; Akkadian: paršu) moral code [cf. 德/禮] and arts and crafts) to mankind by teaching them. They are typically depicted as having the lower torso of a fish or dressed as fish.

The first of the seven is Adapa — also known as Uan* or Oannes — which taught mankind the practice of proper rites of religious observance. He is said to have revealed all knowledge and wisdom to man after the Creation. Oannes is primarily known for a story in which he broke the wings of Ninlil, the South Wind, who had overturned his fishing boat and was called to account before the sky-god Anu. At Enki’s suggestion, Oannes apologized humbly, and Anu offered him the food of immortality. Still, he refused, having been warned against eating in heaven by Enki, who had anticipated Oannes being offered the food of death instead.

* Uan or Ὠάννης (Ōánnēs) m sg (genitive Ōannis) third declension: an apkallu (Apkallu [Akkadian] & Abgal [Sumerian:𒉣𒈨 ] terms found in cuneiform inscriptions that in general mean either "wise" or "sage") also known as Adapa.
