Zenden: I'm right with you. You're preaching to the choir!
I like your outlook as well. 
...Regarding "past-life regressions" :
When I first tapped into "my" supposed "past" "lives," (On some levels, after some ego lessons
I'm coming to this outlook: what use is it to claim them as "mine"-- who am "I" anyway???) especially some that were related to historic figures, my mind could hardly handle it. ...Indeed, I've since realized the wisdom in letting things be revealed to me in a more 'organic' way! ...I remember I actually had a glimpse of what I perceived insanity must be like, as one day I felt my mind start to schism, or something, as I considered what had just been put in my lap--which I acknowledge, I asked for! ...I ran to a therapist, one who supposedly utelized past-life therapy, in order to get...I don't know what --some hypnosis so I would have an objective "witness" to what I had seen was this past life? So I knew it wasn't some other 'trick' being played on me? So-called delusions of grandeur? Wha??? Anyway, I had some sessions with her, but some part of me was just not willing to have someone tap into my sub-conscious. ...As much as I wanted 'answers,' I've had to find them on my own time, my own way.
More recently, maybe a year ago, I had gone to a psychotherapist, when I started sensing there was hidden stuff from early in this lifetime as well, and some part of me was scared to consider it, scared to consider some long-suppressed deed some trusted family member had done to me? I don't know. ...Anyway, I again lost trust that answers would unfold within me; and ran off to a psychotherapist. Within fifteen minutes of our session, and her asking a few questions about what I sense of my childhood, she said I'd need a sh*tload of work. (Well, not in those exact terms!) --Something I have NO money for. As an alternative, she had offered contacts to some free groups that met, as in therapy groups. I try to be open to suggestion, but the thought of me chatting in a group just makes my eyes roll. ...It all felt like it was a strong nudge to just keep staying open to answers as I had already been doing; and I was simply running away in fear of the unknown, as usual. As strange a mix this all is--this being lead to so-called myths, archetypes, "past-lives," aliens, etc.; somehow it is who we "are," these dramas we've been/are a part of.
"Therapy" makes me think of the DSM-IV-- Diagnosis and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
You know, I pursued a psychology degree in college, because I wanted to figure myself out. I remember going through such texts, deciding how many of the supposed symptoms I had of one "disorder" or another, wanting to name myself as something-- what was 'wrong' with me? Somebody give me a 'label' for it so I know what to do! ...Yes, I was probably 'mildly depressed' in college. I say, when you stop trying to fit yourself into these deficient, useless paradigms, and realize how far beyond such quantification your consciousness is, you can stop suffering from "depression," and realize it as the spur toward deeper awareness that it is. ...Part of me keeps wanting to believe so-called mental help is valuable; but the current field is just so short-sighted at this time. I have to unpeel and trust my own unique "history" of me, slowly unfurling over time. Though it's not to say that I haven't found value hidden everywhere--including pop psychology books I've picked up.
...Yes, I recall downloading the Thoth material. ...So fascinating, this interconnecting web. No, I haven't read any of the Ruth Montgomery stuff, but maybe I shall. ...I did get some new angles to think about with a Jane Roberts/Seth book I came across at the thrift store, The "Unknown" Reality. ...I've read so much along the way, I can't reference it all.
Regarding the Enki material, I recall a website of a woman who supposedly was channeling Enki's granddaughter--is that Innana? This woman shared that when she did lectures, so many people in the audience sympathized with one character or another in that drama--as if they were a particular character. ...This fascinated me, as I had already read The Twelfth Planet and been struck by how much I felt a kinship with Enki's persona, and could see how others in my life resonated with some of the other Annunnakki.
...There were message posts I read somewhere long ago, not here, of someone who felt she wasIsis in some way, as she described her partner as Osiris. She was retelling, I vaguely recall, that she had somehow energetically 'fought' off some dark force entities, in some underground base in the west, where her partner worked, in order to 'save' him, she felt.
Yes, it does go on and on--the "present" and the "past" interweaved, "reality" and "myth," the macro reflecting the micro. ...Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus... hah.. I've often thought of that title, though I've never read it. ...I feel I'm definitely on the Mars end of it, though female in this lifetime. 
FYI, regarding the possible origins of the "reptilian" race, again, there is an interesting reference in Swerdlow's story. He says they were created, by a race he calls the 'transparent people,' one of whom appeared to him when he was sixteen, and explained this. He was told, telepathically, that its species had traveled back into the distant past to create a race of beings to antagonize and test humans. Swerdlow says he was told he was a member of this transparent race, that came back to help humans and reptilians deal with each other. (He does realize he was 'indoctrinated' by these beings, as he was 'indocrinated' by his handlers. ...I realize there are plenty other stories of how the so-called reptilian race originated, for sure.)
He says the transparent people needed physical genetics for this created race to be able to exist in this dimension, so they took genes from the now physical Lyraens--blue/green eye; blond/red haired; and mixed with the transparent people's collective energy, to manifest physically as the 'reptilians.' Hence, Swerdlow says, they need energetics from 'Aryan-type' people to survive on this plane. (...How'd they ended up looking like lizards, though??)
They were taken to many different physical realities in order to become the dominant species; mentally they were programmed to conquer and absorb all of the races and species they encountered. Those not able to be absorbed were destroyed. "The purpose of all this is to determine the most perfect form in physical reality that can exist in any environment."
They are programmed to believe they are the superior form. He says their DNA does not change much over eons of time. "For them, this is their proof that they are already perfect, without any need to adapt" The mammalian tendency to evolve, he says, denotes weakness and inferiority to the reptilians. ..."They consider it their right to control and conquer all of space and time."
He says they operate out of a general group mind, but are separated into seven species with differing functions.
A lot to consider, for sure. Again, this is from the book, Blue Blood, True Blood: Conflict & Creation, A Personal Story by Stewart Swerdlow, aka "Stan Campbell" of the Montauk books. It's given me peace, to know he has been able to emerge from so much and apparently be able to contribute to the world. ...Since I'm cranking out so much of his info here, I should say his (and wife's) website is expansions.com, which I occasionally check out; though they get too lost in sifting through all the apparent connections to the dark side that show up in the daily news, for my taste--"there were six people killed, on the sixth day of the sixth ... AUGH! Shriek!! Like Icke's Headlines-- I get overloaded. But then again, all the apparent 'coincidences' are what start us wondering about the deeper connections...
...I do apologize if I'm repeating subjects that are elsewhere on this site--I admit I haven't yet sifted through all the myriad of threads here.
Alright, enough for now!
