A eunuch is a castrated male. Eunuchs were common in royal palaces. They were guards, warriors, counselors, messengers and bearers. Eunuchs protected the royal family, but they also sometimes assassinated them. Eunuchs were sometimes born that way, sometimes forced to be and sometimes they chose to be. There must have always been some female eunuchs. (Houston: Wonderful 174)
The god, Saboi was founded on the male son and female virgin mother. This god was shown as being of neither sex. Many of the male followers made themselves eunuchs to match the deity and show their devotion. A eunuch is a seba (Sebau plural). They made themselves eunuchs because they thought this was a good way to save their souls. The rewriters of the Judaeo-Christian bibles continued this line of thinking by inserting in Isiah 56: 3-5, that god would bestow great favor upon eunuchs on earth and they would be guaranteed salvation. This notion is seconded in Matthew 19:12-14.
To be of neither sex is to be prepubescent as a child, thus the statement, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven” indicates children have a leg up on entering the kingdom of heaven. In those times, all this encouraged people to make themselves eunuchs. A different version is to be celibate, especially as a nun or priest or monk. Same thinking regarding devotion and guaranteed entry into heaven. Matthew did say, if you are able to receive it, then receive it. Paul agrees with this in I Corinthians 7, but he also says it is good to be celibate. (NG2 79/87)
Seramis is another god for whom men chose to become eunuchs. She was the divine male-ess, the middle type between the motherhood and fatherhood made to partake of both sexes; and men sought to attain the nearest likeness of the male-mother, called the Virgin, This man-ess or male-female divinity was adored as the “only one,” because it was of a dual nature unified.
The duality was first of all female: next male-fema1e, and lastly female-male. In order to show the nature of the deity in human form, the combined sex image and sexless image were used to express the two truths. The combination of the two truths in a deity is natural. It is unnatural in humans. To be made a eunuch or to make oneself a eunuch is unnatural. Celibacy is natural according to age and marriage rules, but unnatural for religious reasons for those who cannot bear it and unnatural on the grounds that it makes one more holy or guaranteed to get to heaven.
The missing part of the understanding is that the SER, although neuter when unified, is also one or the other or male or female when necessary. Always both are present and functioning, even though one may be functioning in hidden processes in the background. (NG2 512-13/530-1, 515/513), (BB 214/226), UC#1485
The Candace Queens also had eunuchs. One of them was the eunuch of the Queen who had business and personal relations with King Solomon of Israel/Judah. On one of his journeys to worship in Jerusalem is when this eunuch met Philip, the disciple of Jesus. The Ethiopians were already familiar with Jesus under many names. They just weren't completely familiar with the Judaeo-Christian version. (Acts : 27-39), (Morse: American Universal 805)
In 536 CE, a Roman general, a eunuch named Solomon, led 10,000 Romans to victory over 50,000 Moors. This took place in North Africa in a city named Mamma in Byzacena (roughly Tunisia). (Smith:A Dictionary, 294, 336)
