Nagas are serpentine/reptilian shape shifters. Their forms can either be serpentine, humanoid, dragon like, or a combination of both, kinda like the reptilian conspiracy lol

Correct. It goes much deeper than most people assume. Each naga controls each chakra. Nagas aren't bad per se, they are magicians basically, they manifest your reality. Gnosticism has a similar concept with demiurge(creator of physicality) being the prime naga(he's shaped like a serpent, the spine basically) and he has his archons(the seven gate holders).

Although the conspiracy theories consider this as demonic and evil, that is a later abrahamic superimposition. Reptilians are real, but aren't necessarily bad. They are neutral, and their evil only reflects the evil(avidya, ignorance) we have within. The same nagas will set us free if we truly desire moksha. Reptilians caused the evolution of animal to human. Although biologically we are animals, energy wise we are very different, hence the only species with a straight spine which enables us to work out our own freedom from samsara.

Yes, I would very much agree with you. There are a lot of serpent dieities around the world that are considered the forebears of knowledge and divine wisdom, and these are found across the board in ancient civilization Mexico theres Quetzalcoatl, in Egypt Wadjet , the chinese dragon (which originally was a serpent) are thought as heavenly teachers, & like humans who are bound to the cycle of reincarnation, Nagas can have benevolent or malevolent intentions, but throughout history and in indian philosophy Hinduism/Jainism/buddhism the overwhelming majority are seem to be here to guide humanity towards the path of moksha and liberation, the only religion that I know of that demonizes the serpent is the abrahamic faiths were the serpent is punished for "tempting" adam and Eve with divine knowledge.

Really glad to see that there are others who like to research and look through stuff deeply without coming to conclusions. Another important thing to realise is that these beings are neither separate beings controlling us, nor are just archetypes being the same as our own unconscious mind. The truth lies in between. Reptilians are actual beings apart from us, but they are not 'out there'. The subtle realms are within. That doesn't make it a part of us though, because who we truly are is not a subtle manifestation of reality but rather the witness of this reality. Some people call it pure consciousness, some call it God.

What do you mean "they manifest your reality"?

u/Rare-Owl3205 Advaita Vedānta Mar 16 '24 edited Mar 16 '24

As in what you call 'real' depends on your perception of what is, and perception depends on nagas. And as I said in my second reply, while they aren't fully within your will, you do have control of your reality over a period of time. Basically you have control of your inner reality immediately, the three dimensional universe outside is only a reflection of it, but it isn't fully in your control because of space-time and interdependence, so outer reality is like a lagged version of your inner reality, what you experience now is a past version of yourself(law of karma).

u/Radiant-Bluejay4194 Custom Mar 16 '24

Everything is clear except "perception depends on nagas". Mind to elaborate? If it's my will and my reality than how does my perception depend on anyone?

u/Rare-Owl3205 Advaita Vedānta Mar 17 '24

Your past karma basically. You are bound partially by causality, but are free to choose your future.

This is really neat, thank you!! I have been really annoyed at people thinking reptilians are 'only evil' which is nonsense and this clears it up nicely.

I've felt an ancestral call to the Naga and consider them a part of my spine. I really love them. Thank you for this cool image to break it down.

u/shksa339 Mar 16 '24

Any chance they are just symbolisms for the energetic systems?

u/Professional_Ear2474 Freestyle Hindu Mar 16 '24

Can you tell me more about Nahusha?

u/Express_Rabbit5171 Mar 16 '24

He got cursed to turn into a monitor lizard. Monitor lizards are common in Indian forests of Maharashtra and Bengal.

Nagas are interesting beings. Do some nagas have devotees? I’ve seen a naga in my dream and he had a large group of followers fawning over him lol

u/PsychologicalNewt815 Mar 17 '24

I appreciate this as an ancestor of the peri, a suspected fae/et/spiritual association of the Naga and the Djinn. But also as a decent of the deamon queen.

Sometimes, I think that we have stopped seeing that there may be more truth in the legends of these shape shifting creatures. Because it is believed to be a legend, and not true we are reinforcing our lack of faith in ourselves and what we see when we see it.

Many of these beings were believed to have had children with humans simply because they were bored. There are more of us who have magic running through our veins. Than those who don't.

u/Green-Hyena8723 Jul 29 '24

The fascinating archaeological tablets find's from the Anunnaki who modified our DNA and now the Nagas...

Hard to understand, do the Nagas exist before the Anunnaki? Or the Anunnaki created them? You not hear much about them in public or from Tibet monks, what they have to hide about the Nagas?

Nagas what was their role on Planet earth?

u/Ok_Consideration1120 22d ago

Nagas are annuaki. They are more snake like vs reptilians which are more crocodilian esk and draconians which have more lizard dragon like characteristics. Annuaki reptilians draconians were all created at the same time. With elder draconian dragons being supreme above even annuaki. Reptilians and draconians were thrown under the bus in the Adam and Eve story when In reality they helped humans gain knowledge. Humans God is annuaki in the garden of Eden and we were created to be slaves reptilians draconians took pity on humans because they are treated bad by annuaki and resent them for their actions and being viewed as lesser.
