TEN PEOPLE TO INVITE TO DINNER:
Hindu Prince Gautama Siddartha of Nepal, (later became known as the Buddha from sitting under the Bodhi tree while achieving enlightenment, thusly helping all of humanity achieve spiritual salvation)

Jesus of Nazareth, (Jewish carpenter's son who fulfilled the prophecy of Elijah as the messiah by teaching the gospel, the path of the Christ & thusly helping all of humanity achieve spiritual salvation)

"Lord" Enki, (was a deity in Sumerian mythology, later known as Ea in Babylonian mythology; The exact meaning of his name is uncertain: the common translation is "Lord of the Earth": the Sumerian en is translated as a title equivalent to "lord"; it was originally a title given to the High Priest; ki means "earth." It also has been suggested that Ia in this case is a West Semitic (Canaanite) way of saying Ea, Enki's Akkadian name, when declined with the Semitic ending as Iahu and may have developed into the later form of Yahweh.

He is most known for being the first of his family to propose and continually promote the creation-development of the Earth; his engineering expertise technological ability, which was contained or displayed in the 'mes' he drafted, created, programmed or shared with the angels and their human constituents for the purpose of advancing one society or another from time to time; losing control over his son Marduk, who became a terror across the globe, as indicated in Revelations ; and his biological technologies, which, among other things, fostered the creation of modern man -- a hybrid of angels and indigenous hominids.

According to Sumerian mythology, Enki assisted humanity more then once. The story of the in the book of Genesis has Enki being portrayed as the snake but in fact is attempting to free the first 2 humans, Adam, of the mud & Eve from the spiritual bondage that Enlil, Enki's half-brother & king of the gods, has enslaved them with. Enki also assisted humanity to survive the Deluge designed to kill them.

In the Legend of Atrahasis'(aka Noah), Enlil, sets out to eliminate humanity again by sliding the entire antartic ice shelf off into the ocean & flooding the world. Enlil successively sends drought, famine and plague to eliminate humanity, but Enki thwarts his half-brother's plans by teaching Atrahasis'(aka Noah) irrigation, granaries and medicine. Humans again proliferate a fourth time.

Enraged Enlil, convenes a Council of Deities and gets them to promise not to tell humankind that he plans their total annihilation. Enki, does not tell Atrahasis'(aka Noah), but tells of Enlil's plan to the walls of Atrahasis'(aka Noah) reed hut, thus covertly rescuing the man Atrahasis'(aka Noah), by either instructing him to build some kind of a boat for his family, or by bringing him into the heavens in a magic boat. After the seven day Deluge, the flood hero, Atrahasis'(aka Noah) frees a swallow, a raven and a dove in an effort to find if the flood waters have receded. On the boat landing, a sacrifice is organized to the gods.

Enlil is angry his will has been thwarted yet again, and Enki is named as the culprit. As the god of what we would call ecology, Enki explains that Enlil is unfair to punish the guiltless Atrahasis'(aka Noah) for the sins of his fellows, and secures a promise that the gods will not eliminate humankind if they practice birth control and live within the means of the natural world. The threat is made, however, that if humans do not honor their side of the covenant the gods will be free to wreak havoc once again. This is apparently the oldest surviving Middle Eastern Deluge myths. Enki was a being interested in the physical & spiritual salvation of humanity.)

Mozart & Beethoven, (18th century Austrian & German composers respectively,who despite their own personal troubles & misfortunes, both had a philosophy of doing the greater good for mankind. I feel that their music not reveals this but a greater spiritual understanding especially one listens to Mozart's Requiem & Beethoven's 9th Symphony.)

Henry V & Elisabeth I, (English King & Queen, whose actions led England away from being under the control of Rome & the Catholic church & eventually made it a world power whose reach brought its people to the 'New World' & established the American Colonies, which revolted under King George.)

Any three of the founding fathers one could want to pick, but my choices would be:
Benjamin Franklin, (without his hand there would be no help from the French,)

George Washington, (whose military leadership & spy network & "terrorist" activities brought the colonists victory over the royalists)

& Thomas Jefferson, (who understood all too well the corrupting influence of the Banks upon a sovereign people.) All ten heroes, all ten people who did what had to be done in their walk of life to preserve freedom in its many shapes.
