Lion Island –The Origins of Man Pt I
By Freya Savitri Sampson - Custodian Eartheart
Here a mysterious force goes unseen and unrealised.
Throughout this age of chaos on Earth, which the Hindus call Kali Yuga, ignorance descends upon humanity. There is no doubt, this unseen force has guided the little wills and actions of humanity, to protect this most sacred site.
During WWII, Lion Island (LI) nearly became target practice for the Navy. Fortunately, the bird-watching society, a group of politicians and people of influence appreciated the abundant bird life on Lion Island and took umbrage. A fight ensued and out of chaos, laws were passed making LI the first Australian National Park, although no animals existed there, except a small colony of penguins. It’s forbidden for any human to set foot upon the island; it’s guarded by two patrol boats, a helicopter and land-based watch stations. Deep is the Dreaming that surrounds LI and, like all journeys worth taking, it is many faceted and layered. When we listen to ancient wisdom keepers, we must listen with our heart, for these stories are intertwined with actual events and metaphysical concepts that only the heart and soul can understand. Mind and ego are useless here.
Lion Island is just one Wisdom holder for the Sacred Bambara. As Colin Hayter explains, “Lion Island is many things. Along the East-coast of Australia, Dreamtime Lore (DTL) describes LI the origin of ‘life on Earth’, and how the DTL creation stories and Egyptian and Indian Lore were influenced by them.
“Lion Island is the place where the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades Constellation first came to Earth and their vehicle still
works today. “Long, The Tree of Life (TTOL) Thoola Muree, grew there, atop the cliff catching the first sun rays, as they streamed over the horizon. Every day, Baiame, the Sun, returns home, illuminating a womb-like cave in LI’s sheer cliffface. There, Earth is reborn each day through the Divine union of Father and Mother. The light rays go through the leaves into the roots, giving new life to the Earth. In Gommeroy language, TTOL is called Mulli-mulla – beautiful mother.

“In Yango, it is carved into the Earth that Baiame awoke man from his long slumber, by giving him knowledge through his light. From TTOL came red sap, as blood upon the river of life, from here life grew over deep-deep time. After more deep-deep time, Baiame created man.
“Dhuramullan and the Son of Light (TSOL), depicted as a winged grandfather with a trident, symbolising the Tri-Fold Flame protruding from his chest, TSOL travelled the land to fight a mighty battle of light and dark within himself. This represented knowledge over ignorance, so that all man could know. He makes a perfect equilateral triangular journey, to capture chaos, as described by carvings on the Earth at each point, with his journey completing at the beginning: at The Tree of Life, the origin of man and life on Earth.”


As we learned last month (October 2020 Issue) through the Karijong glyphs, Egypt and Australia have very ancient connections. In the Pen Hesi Papyrus, Colin found the story of TTOL. “The, the Egyptians, came to LI to observe TTOL after she’d been hit by a massive lightning bolt. The Creator had taken MulliMulla back, along with those underneath her, to the stars.” Colin continues, “Atop the sheer cliff on LI, preserved by the seas salt air, stands TTOL’s remnants: her girth is several metres. Having died long ago, only the outer-edge of her trunk, a hands width, remains. Five metres up, blackened shards around her in the bush lay four branches, as wide as cows, as long as buses. One could bend down and walk through them.”
Colin explains, “Stories handed down over thousands of years, tell that Mene Asures, AKA Osiris a great Magi Chief, was so tall that he could stand up in any creek. Mene left Bambara after walking into a vortex of fire (VOF), leaving this land with his constant and wise dwarf companion. After this, he was never seen alive in his land again.”
So, where did Mene go after walking into a Vortex of Fire?
“The Tamil and peoples of the Indus Valley appreciated their origins, Mulli-mulla. In 3142 BC, they saw the Southern Pole Star disappear at Kali Yuga’s beginning. The Earth’s processional wobble altered, as did the position of Earth in the heavens. Formerly, they had both North and South Pole Stars to navigate Heaven and Earth, however, with the pole shift, they realised they would be cut off from navigation to their origin, Mulli-Mulla and The Great Land in The South (TGLITS). They saw it as a veil coming over the eyes of mankind: man would be blind.
“They sought a solution so they came back to their origin of TGLITS. Having great ships, with no rudders, they followed

the migrating sea turtles across the ocean currents. Thus the depiction of the Earth supported on the back of a turtle in Indian Lore.”
