When the workers completed the temple, Enlil killed them all, lest others use them and brag of it. He broadcast that he’d give these slain craftsmen eternal life in the next world.
It's interesting how like with the Raelians, technology so advanced that it sounds like magic is required to deal with "souls". From a scientific point of view, consciousness, personality and memories are supported by brains.
Raelians claim that cloning a body is enough to restore it, which is false: even if the genetics are identical and epigenetics result in a very similar person, like for twins, they're a different person, with an independent brain and personality development and with their own acquired experiences and memories.
So assuming that a different doctrine is used here, how was Enlil supposed to recreate people with their own personality and memories, considering that they're just physical beings with advanced technologies? There's no claim of brain preservation or transfer here, also no claim of mirroring and simulated universe, etc. One must just accept blindly that it would just work magically, because it's a deity or superman of sorts.
Similarly, it's interesting how these "physicalist" cults are also still into variants of 1800s spiritualism. Some of these posts indicate that "messages" from "Enki" are "channeled" by "mediums" who go in "Enki-ship" or whatever. In the case of Raelians, they have meditations, still hold some beliefs in the supernatural, etc. Lessin apparently also promotes "past-life regression" fantasy, tantrism and quantum mysticism.
Of course in spiritualism and more common religious traditions still holding to beliefs in spirits/souls and denying the physical basis of personality, memory, consciousness and experience, can just move anything to do about non-life/death/afterlife to the imaginary non-physical world/dimensions. Brains are then claimed to be a sort of "vehicle" or "antenna".
UFO enthusiasts often entertain an "interdimensional beings" doctrine where physics are eshewed in favor of convenient metaphysics, where beings are either physical manifestations or slipping out of physics, just like spirits/demons/angels. Convenient to justify the lack of evidence for their existence and to keep entertaining claims of gods of the gaps. Motivated reasoning.
Well, it remains religion and it remains as conflicted as religion. An indication of humans at work and of human traditions, evidence that there's likely nothing very concrete underneath, outside of fear of death, reality evasion fantasy, wishthinking, demand and meeting demand, social movements, business and manipulation...
