The Perception of the Divine - I

Восприятие Божественного - I

 

God created Man and not Man God; consequently, God defined Man and not Man God. That is why Man sensed God, perceived the Divine, and acted accordingly within the spiritual and the material universes. Due to the first fall of Man, this sense and this perception were gravely impaired. Because of this situation, the early men started developing faculties in order to catch up with what they had missed but to no avail. These faculties, which we now identify as the basics of civilization, were truly unnecessary and they only resulted in further falls.

 

If we consider the original sin as an infidelity, the so-called 'human civilization' was constructed on unrequested powers, skills and intelligence. This invalid, counterfeit intelligence is what exactly we read in the First Epistle to the Corinthians (3:19; γρ σοφία το κόσμου τούτου μωρία παρ τ Θε στιν / Sapientia enim hujus mundi, stultitia est apud Deum): "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight".



Texts and representations from the scene related to the Weighing of the Heart of Ani, which took place in the Hall of Judgment (from the Papyrus of Ani); Ani and his wife Tutu (lower section, left) enter the realm of the Divine. At center, Anubis, in kneeling position, weighs Ani's heart (left plate of the scale) against the feather of Maat (right plate of the scale). He is observed by the divine forces Renenutet, Meshkenet, and Shay, as well as by Ani's own Ba (lower spiritual body which is depicted as a bird with human head). At the right end, Ammut, intending to devour Ani's soul if his heart is proven sinful, awaits the verdict. Identified as the Divine Wisdom, Thoth (with human body and the head of the bird ibis) prepares to record it. In the upper section, all supreme aspects of the Divine act as judges: (from left to right) Hu and Sia, Hathor, Horus, Isis and Nephthys, Nut, Geb, Tefnut, Shu, Atum, and Ra-Horakhty. Written by the Theban scribe Ani -for the preparation of his life in the Hereafter- in the first half of the 13th c. BCE, the Papyrus of Ani was discovered in 1888 in Luxor by the English Egyptologist Sir E. A. Wallis Budge and smuggled to the British Museum. It is a 24 m long scroll that has a width of 33 cm; the monumental document needed three volumes to be duly published (introductory analysis; transcription and translation; facsimile reproduction),



Yet, this conclusion is nothing more than the true essence of Ea's advice to Adapa (the First Human) according to the Ancient Sumerian/Assyrian-Babylonian sacred text "Adapa and the South Wind":

«At the door of Anu, Tammuz and Gishzida are standing,
"they will see thee, they will ask thee; 'Sir,'
For whose sake dost thou so appear, Adapa? For whom
Art thou clad in a mourning garment?' 'In our country two gods have vanished, therefore
Am I so.' 'Who are the two gods, who in the land
Have vanished?' 'Tammuz and Gishzida.' They will look at one another and
Be astonished. Good words».

In other words, in the original Paradise, there would never be any 'civilization'. Then, the quest for the original perception of the Divine is a direct, straightforward and conscious rejection of all the human cultures and civilizations. Quite unfortunately for them, all those who intend to stick to their traditions and cultures, by so doing, they bring the total collapse of the human civilization closer. This is apparently so because their civilization is flawed and putrefied, their faith nonexistent, and their perception of the Divine dishonest and erroneous.



The Wisdom of God was represented in Ancient Egypt by the Ibis-headed Thoth. Above: wall painting from the mortuary temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu, Luxor West; below: wall painting from the tomb of Seti I, Valley of the Kings, Luxor West; as per the existing material record and textual sources, it becomes therefore clear that for the Ancient Egyptians, ibis was deemed worthy to represent the Divine Wisdom.




Among modern Egyptians, the same bird is viewed as very stupid. Colloquially pronounced Abu Gerdan (but written Abu Qerdan / أَبو قِرْدَان), the appellation is quite bizarre, because it means "the father of Gerdan", thus leaving everyone with the question who Gerdan is. The contrast is therefore very striking in the human evaluation of the said bird. Instead of relying on absurd theories and socio-anthropological nonsense to explain what cannot be explained, it should be practical to realize that neither the humans nor the fauna remained unaffected during the series of falls from the original and the antediluvian world to the Late Antiquity and down to our days.

Ka statue of Pharaoh Hor Awibre (18th c. BCE); Ka statues were an Ancient Egyptian particularity; they were considered as resting places for the middle spiritual body of every human. The statue proper is 135 cm high; with base and Ka sign on the head, it is 170 cm high. It is made of wood, which was once covered with a thin layer of stucco that is gone today; once, it may have been adorned with a kilt. The pharaoh is shown naked but there are traces on the wood, belonging to a belt. Around the neck, he bears a broad collar; he seems to have been holding a staff and a scepter. On the head, he bears today the Ka sign. That was found next to the statue within a naos. The statue was found in the Hor's tomb within a wooden naos that was lying on the back side.

The Opening of the Mouth ceremony for the scribe Hunefer, who was "Scribe of Divine Offerings", "Overseer of Royal Cattle", and steward of Pharaoh Seti I in the early 13th c. BCE; this ritual was performed in order to offer to the deceased his fundamental senses to fully function in the Hereafter. As ceremony, it involved many spiritual and material procedures, use of specific instruments, prayers and imitation of acts related to birth. Extract from the Papyrus of Hunefer, a 19th-Dynasty Book of the Dead; priests of Anubis perform the opening of the mouth ritual. At the center of the upper scene, we notice the mummy of Hunefer, supported by Anubis (embodiment of the Divine Justice in the Hereafter). In front of the mummy, Hunefer's wife and daughter mourn, while three priests perform rituals. Two priests with white clothes over their shoulders carry out the Opening of the Mouth ritual. In a realistic and complete depiction of the preparatory works, the white building at the right represents the tomb, its portal doorway, and the small pyramid that were built for the deceased; similar structures have been excavated in numbers. Between the tomb and Anubis, we see a simulacrum of the stela that would have been found outside the tomb. At its top, we see the deceased Hunefer praising and praying to Osiris; in fact, this is the image of an image, i.e. a very common concept in Ancient Egypt – which involves perfect understanding of the mirrors of spiritual beings (a topic entirely unknown within Ancient Hebrew/Jewish, Christian and Islamic milieu with the exception of St Isaac the Syrian). In the lower register, a table of offerings is shown at the right. A part of the entire ritual is depicted at the left; the foreleg of a calf is cut off, while the animal is alive, to be offered, before the animal itself is sacrificed (a tradition later attested among the Ancient Hebrews and the Jews). Last, the cow (mother of the calf) is portrayed as if bellowing in distress during the event.



Introduction

The modern Western (in fact: Western European) world, which by means of military, political, economic, academic, intellectual, educational, religious, cultural and spiritual colonization invaded and (by so doing) desecrated the rest of the world, has been based on a peremptory, 'humanist' assumption, an arbitrary, detrimental rejection of the pre-Renaissance world, a baseless, yet unprecedented historical revisionism, and a self-determination to deliberately define God. Within this vicious and calamitous context, which precipitates the total annihilation of the mankind, there is absolutely no place for perception of the Divine.

 

Nonetheless, it has been inevitable that several humans managed to liberate themselves from today's destitute, fake and corrupted religions, absurd and nonsensical philosophies, and various other schemes, theories and ideologies in order to find their true inner selves and in the process perceive the Divine.

 

In today's world, there is no self-definition of Man. This is so because the peremptory concept of Humanism constitutes an unfounded dogma and the foundation of all posterior conclusions, considerations and theories. Any spiritual-intellectual attempt to question the validity of the 'humanist' absurdity results instantaneously in utterly dictatorial persecution, hysterical rejection, and fanatical, systematized defamation. Yet, the insanity of 'Humanism' leads straight to the eradication of mankind.

 

As a matter of fact, for every civilization and culture, the self-definition of Man was never the first priority in terms of ancestral narratives, meditation, rumination and world view; on the contrary, the definition of God was the central, fundamental task. We do not exist of our own; we live because God created us. Contrarily to Him, we cannot say "I am who I am" (אֶֽהְיֶ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶֽהְיֶ֑ה; γώ εμι ν; ego sum qui sum / Exodus 3:14). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_that_I_Am

 

Similarly, and more authoritatively than the Torah, the Assyrian-Babylonian sacred text of Enuma Elish (the world's paramount 'Genesis' or 'Cosmogony') in its 3rd and 4th verses stipulates the following: «apsûm-ma rēštû zārûšun; mummu Tiamat muallidat gimrišun» {Naught but primordial Apsu, their begetter, (and) Mummu Tiamat, she who bore them all / as per the transliteration in P. Talon, The Standard Babylonian Creation Myth: Enūma eliš; Helsinki, 2005}.

https://ia600707.us.archive.org/16/items/Holy-Books/EnumaElish.pdf

 

Everything, every aspect of the Divine, every later name of God or aspect of God depended on the primordial Apsu and Tiamat, the names of God before Creation. In the World History's first and foremost holy text, the narrative of the Creation starts before the Creation. After the original moments of Becoming are stipulated, all the rest follows. In other words, only because humans defined God first, they were able to determine who they were at a second stage. But to define God, men had to perceive the Divine at an earlier moment.

I. Man: soul, body, and character

In this brief presentation, I don't intend to expand on the perception of the Divine of the Ancient Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians-Babylonians and Egyptians, thus composing a historico-religious monograph. On the contrary, I will use material and concepts, methods and approaches of the Ancient Mesopotamian monotheists, which can help today's people to best question and ultimately refute the prevailing, absurd and preposterous definition of the Divine, which has become good reason for the mankind's decay. 

 

There cannot be mental, sentimental or sensual perception of the Divine. The brain, the heart, and the solar plexus are parts of the human body that function at the very intersection of the soul and the body within every human being; however, they still generate material functions. Through these means a human obtains perception of the material universe. However, only the human soul creates spiritual functions, and it is only through one's soul that a man can perceive the spiritual universe, the Divine, and God. In brief, there is only spiritual perception of the spiritual world.

 


Wearing the blue khepresh crown (suitable for wars), Ramesses III is embraced by Isis (: symbolic representation of the Ancient Egyptian monotheistic priesthood); from the tomb of Prince Amun-her-khepeshef (QV55), Valley of the Queens, Luxor. Isis places her right hand behind Ramses III's neck to offer consolidation and support to his body's emission center of electric fluid, whereas her left hand closes and protects the pharaoh's solar plexus, thus allowing him to preserve the totality of his body's electromagnetic flow. Ramses III places his right hand in front of Isis' face, which means that he is incessantly absorbing electric fluid, as if he were an electron; theoretically interpreted, this stance and this act correspond to making an oath. All the same, back at those days, it had an exclusively spiritual, not nominal, meaning. Last, the pharaoh's left hand embraces Isis' body at the lower spine (or lumbar curve) where is located the source of magnetic fluid; this act also ensures the preservation of the totality of his body's electromagnetic flow (i.e. spiritual-material power retention). Prince Amun-her-khepeshef was a royal scribe, commander of the cavalry, and son of Ramses III (the ninth on the list of his sons). About:

Because the dissociation between the human soul and the human body is the result of the successive falls of mankind, today's man has lost the originally inherent ability to establish a complete synergy between the soul and the body. Many misinformed and disoriented people, who believe in the existence of the human soul and the spiritual universe, think that the thoughts, the ideas, the theories, the sentiments, the desires and the passions constitute the soul, but that's very wrong.

 

As driving force of life, the soul is entirely different from the body; it does however permeate the human body and, to enable the human being's major functions at the material level, it forms particular junctures within the body in the heart, the brain, and the solar plexus. At best, which means before all the Falls, the three junctures (or intersections) are totally empty, and ethereal vitality keeps the human being in perfect synergy between the soul and the body.

 

The electromagnetic flow is thus exemplarily processed, being uninterrupted and unabsorbed by the various, unnecessary debris formed during cases of traumatic experience. Then, this man is well-lit and bright, able to emit light, and transform his eye into a lantern for his body; this is the meaning of Jesus' famous hint "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light" ( λύχνος το σώματός στιν φθαλμός· ἐὰν ον φθαλμός σου πλος , λον τ σμά σου φωτεινόν σται·; lucerna corporis est oculus si fuerit oculus tuus simplex totum corpus tuum lucidum erit; Matthew 6:22)

 

Quite contrarily, in the case of the man of the Fall, the three intersections are filled with unnecessary data, pieces of 'knowledge', amounts of worthless information, endless thoughts, considerations, theories, ideas, ideologies, sentiments and desires, not to mention passions and abominable calculations, which keep the human being captive of the worst enemies of mankind. In such cases, the soul is greatly affected and clearly condemned to damnation. These unfortunate and unsubstantiated beings have thus already become 'persons', overwhelmingly filling the part of their soul that we conventionally call 'subconscious' with collateral debris, which constitute an enormous burden for the soul and gradually force her to incapacity and castigation.

 

The intersections of the soul and the body (solar plexus, heart and brain) create what we come to know as the character of the human being; the character is the epitome of individuality. But a human being, i.e. an individual, should never become a 'person'. The character corresponds to what many mystics call conventionally 'lower spiritual body'; this is wrongly called 'astral body' (it has nothing to do with stars). Few days after the separation of the soul from the body (i.e. the 'death'), both, the material body and the lower spiritual body, start getting disintegrated.

 

Being aware of the intensified spiritual attack against the mankind and the increased number of sinful humans, modern mystics wanted to find a convenient and very conventional 'solution' of the problem. They therefore invented the childish theory of generalized reincarnation. It is certain that some souls can reincarnate; spiritually and materially, reincarnation is possible. Jesus spoke explicitly about that, referring to the Men of Nineveh, i.e. the Ancient Assyrians: "The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here" (νδρες Νινευται ναστήσονται ν τ κρίσει μετ τς γενες ταύτης κα κατακρινοσιν ατήν, τι μετενόησαν ες τ κήρυγμα ων, κα δο πλεον ων δε; viri ninevitae surgent in iudicio cum generatione ista et condemnabunt eam quia paenitentiam egerunt in praedicatione Ionae et ecce plus quam Iona hic; Matthew 12:41).

 

The generalized theory of reincarnation invalidates the purpose of the Creation. It is an absurdity according to which one human being can achieve perfection in three lives, another man in six lives, and a third person in nine lives; indeed, this is utterly blasphemous. If things had been arranged in this paranoid manner, God would have been snoring at the end station of this useless and otherwise comical process. Only pathetic ignorance and abject immorality can make someone think that the Moral Order does not matter and that the facts of spiritual reward and spiritual castigation are meaningless. Contrarily to this nonsensical scheme, for all early sacred texts, it matters greatly whether the Moral Order is maintained and respected by all humans or not. Without Order there is no Creation; breaching the universal Order is an act that destroys some part of the universe. That is why reward and castigation are consequential, instantaneous and inevitable.

 



Maat was for the Ancient Egyptians the universal Moral Order or, if you prefer, the code of the Creation; the feather atop her head symbolized the Truth. That is why the heart of every deceased had to be found lighter than the feather of Maat during the spiritual procedure of Weighing of the Heart (psychostasia). Partly restored and partly re-constructed image of a painted wall-relief from the Tomb of Siptah (KV47) 19th Dynasty (12th c. BCE), Valley of the Kings, Luxor West Thebes


In this regard, it is absolutely puerile to suggest that, since most humans were sinful, if we happen to believe that there will be reward for the innocent and punishment for the guilty, we will end up in a scarcely inhabited Paradise with few souls and in a densely populated Hell packed with the souls of sinners. I am absolutely convinced that this is a hypocritically childish response (pronounced in Modern times) to an inconsistent and unsophisticated sermon (given in Christian and Islamic times).

 

I cannot expand further here (as this article does not concern the Structure of the Spiritual Universe), but I have to point out that it is mere theological vanity to try to interpret terms like "eternal life" and 'eternal fire" within the context of life of the Fallen Man. Sacred texts that use similar terms apparently give figurative sense to several terms that they use, since their readers will ostensibly be totally unable to fully and deeply comprehend them. I must therefore conclude that modern mystics' opposition to Christian-Muslim preachers is an intentional evildoing, although the latter clearly failed to accurately interpret their respective sacred texts.

 

II. Communication with the material universe

Today's man is not the same as the Man created by God; the fallen Man is inferior to the antediluvian Man, who is in turn lower than the original Man in terms of spiritual potency, spiritual-material synergy, and material abilities and capacities.   

 

Man was not created in order to be further developed and improved by himself, and due to circumstances of personal or social experience; this misconception is surely the result of the evolutionist absurdity. Quite contrarily to what many worthless academics assume today, it is evident that the early men were able to spiritually communicate with one another without the need of a language. There was no language and there was no need for it.

 

At this point, it is essential that I make the distinction between 'language' and 'name'. Names, as phonemes, are sounds; as such, they exist within the spiritual universe, being not a mere particularity of the material universe. Without a name, a soul and a spirit cannot exist. But being able to communicate spiritually, the early humans did not need a language. As a matter of fact, the languages (and later the writings) were the early consequences of the successive falls of Man. Actually, if we do not doubtlessly accept the inherent ability of spiritual communication among the early humans and we take into consideration the fact that they lacked a proper language, we will be forced to conclude that the Creation was not flawless.

 

Affected by numerous absurdities and nonsensical philosophies, today's people are forced to see the original or the antediluvian men though the distorting lenses of rationalism, nominalism, empiricism, materialism, evolutionism, etc. This situation does not only generate disbelief but also drives people to dementia; it is certain that most of the sicknesses that are attested nowadays are due to sick theories, absurd and abnormal considerations, arbitrary beliefs, and counterfeit concepts. The ill, the rotten, and the dead emit illness, rottenness and deadness.

 

It is as simple as that: if the created man "had needed" to speak a language, God would have had the foresight to incorporate or accommodate the entire vocabulary and the grammatical-syntactical stricture of a language within the inherent stock of knowledge that the First Man had. If the created man "had needed" to write a text, God would have had the foresight to embed or entrench all the signs of a writing system into the same stock of knowledge.

 

By thinking that the created Man lacked anything in terms of skills or capacities, any man would automatically make of God the Creator a lower spirit. In fact, such evil machinations are the foundations of modern times' disbelief.

 

As a matter of fact, what stands between us and the antediluvian and the original men is the series of falls that took place and the detrimental consequences that they had on the average human being. But if we carefully examine each skill, every fall, and the consequences brought about after every historic event mentioned in a sacred text, we can reconstitute the pieces of an enormous puzzle that has been deliberately held hidden from the men.

 

Using his soul, body and aspects of his character, the original man was able to fully communicate with the material universe. I am convinced that, at this point, I must highlight few points that today's humans fail to grasp, due to the prevailing false philosophies, inconsistent sciences, and deliberate distortions of every sort. The material universe is not what people today think it is.



The Benben (pyramidion) of Amenemhat III (end of the 12th Dynasty during the Middle Kingdom; ca. 1850 BCE) was the capstone of the Black Pyramid at Dahshur, 40 km south of Cairo (west bank of the Nile); preserved almost intact, it can be now watched in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. Atop of all pyramids and obelisks, the Benben symbolized an important element of the Creation stories according to the Ancient Egyptian Khemenu (Hermupolitan) and Iwnw (Heliopolitan) religions; actually, Benben was said to be the original Earth (or mound) which arose from the primordial waters Nun and Naunet, after they were separated. Related to the Benben conceptualization, which promulgated the sacredness of the Earth, the primordial bird Bennu played a determinant role in the Creation. Praised as "He Who Came into Being by Himself" and "Lord of Jubilees", Bennu was believed to be the Ba of Ra and to have enabled the creative drive of Atum.


Having flown over the waters of Nun before the Creation, according to the Ancient Egyptian sacred texts, the bird Bennu did exactly what Elohim (the Biblical and Christian God) was said to have done in the compilation of preposterously altered and distorted texts that the Jews call Tanakh and the Christians define as the Old Testament: "and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters" (in Genesis 1:2; וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים מְרַחֶפֶת עַל פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם; καὶ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐπεφέρετο ἐπάνω τοῦ ὕδατος.; et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas.)

Then, Bennu landed on a rock and issued a call, which made it all happen. That's why it remained a symbol of rebirth and was associated with Osiris, before being later diffused among several Mediterranean cultures. About:

In fact, there is no created being or entity that is lifeless; this means that not only the animals, the birds and the trees have their souls, but also mountains, rivers, valleys, lakes, rocks and stones have their respective spirits. To best grasp this forgotten reality from which today's Westerners have been detached to their own detriment, one must take into account that a soulless being or entity is dead; it therefore cannot function. In fact, there can never be a material being without its spiritual counterpart (soul or spirit).

 

Of course, everything plays its own role and every being is ascribed its own function; communication involves surely a purpose, but in an environment of spiritually acquired knowledge, this is mainly a matter of coordination. In today's world, the real meaning of words such as innocence, chastity, piety, sacredness, sanctity, etc. has been lost; however, these concepts, principles and values are omnipresent in ancient sacred texts, not as abstract notions but as description of practical action and perfect human behavior.

 

For the original Man, orchestrating or coordinating the praise and worship of God that the entire Creation incessantly delivers was a most outstanding duty that today's fallen people are virtually unable to possibly fathom. A widely known, but by now incomprehensible example is that of Enoch (Idris): "Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him" (וַיִּתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ חֲנ֖וֹךְ אֶת־הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְאֵינֶ֕נּוּ כִּֽי־לָקַ֥ח אֹת֖וֹ אֱלֹהִֽים׃; κα εηρέστησεν νχ τ Θε κα οχ ερίσκετο, τι μετέθηκεν ατν Θεός.; ambulavitque cum Deo et non apparuit quia tulit eum Deus; Genesis 5:24).

 

III. Communication with the spiritual universe

Today's man is mostly cheated by spirits of lower hierarchies whereas he is dodged by benevolent intelligences and hierarchies of the high ethereal spheres. The reason for this situation is very simple; in their overwhelming majority, today's mystics and spiritual masters are so unclean and so contemptible that they create a very negative aura around them. It is also well known that, due to the prevailing ignorance, moral degeneracy, and materialism, few people really care about the spiritual universe. Few among them pursue their spiritual studies, perform their exercises, and live in seclusion from the rest of the world; but these efforts are futile if their mind, heart and solar plexus are gravely affected (not only because of the subsequent falls of mankind but) by their own self-indulgence, and their lack of moral discipline, abstinence and celibacy.

 

The worst cases of failed mystics and depraved spiritual masters are individuals transformed into persons, egoistic and egotistic beings, and disingenuous creatures, which act on the basis of selfishness and self-interest. As these individuals become, truly speaking, cancerous tumors at the spiritual level, they are easily exploited by all sorts of evil and malignant spirits, which deceitfully contact those fools, effectively impersonate higher hierarchies, and terminally subdue their victims, whom they effectively utilize as per the scope of each unclean spirit's hierarchy.

 

Man was created as a spiritual-material being of perfect balance between the spiritual and the material universes. This involved conscious, complete and instantaneous integration with the scope of the Creation. Free will made of the early human being a very distinct creature, but this was meant as an element necessary for the exercises to which God would submit Man – not as a circumstance that would expose the early men to deception, trap and sin. The original sin (and fall) prevents today's people from properly comprehending and duly assessing human life as a liminal space of time. Yet, the liminality of human life is of paramount importance for the purpose of the Creation; that is why it is repeated in all the exercises of initiation that God may put in front of all humans.

 

Instead of the rigid, posterior, flawed, and partly distorted text of the Old Testament (Torah), Ancient Sumerian-Akkadian and Assyrian-Babylonian sacred texts reveal the tendency of the Divine realm to incessantly test the original Man and to regularly submit him to initiation practices and processes, which would reveal unfathomable realities of the universes to him. Be that as it may, Adapa (Adam) should not have taken divine suggestions at face value, accepting them all; on the contrary, he should have treated them wisely, respectfully, and solemnly, but also conscientiously, earnestly, and selectively.

 

God is not the grim, covetous, bitter, low and irked spirit that the Biblical Yahweh appears to be. In striking contrast to Elohim and the biblical texts of the Elohist source (as per the documentary model of Pentateuchal composition introduced by Julius Wellhausen), the 'god' of the Yahwist (or Jahwist) source is entirely due to a preposterous, polytheistic distortion of the earlier Ancient Hebrew concept of God. The disfigurement of the earlier texts and the final composition of the Biblical text were first undertaken at the times of the Babylonian exile, although later copies may have further distorted the text.

 

In fundamental opposition to the (venerated by the Pharisees) noxious spirit of Yahweh, Jesus' God ('our Father in Heaven'), as attested in the Gospels, resembles best the Divine realm that the Ancient Sumerians, Akkadians, and Assyrians-Babylonians believed in. Apsu, Tiamat, Lahmu, Lahamu, Anshar, Kishar, Anu, Enlil and Ea are not at all 'many different gods', as the late 19th c. and early 20th c. Assyriologists had thought due to the then underdeveloped stage of History of Religions but varied aspects of the Divine realm that the early humans were able to discern whereas we are not.

 

Jesus' parables remind us more easily the riddles that the early humans had to solve as per the Mesopotamian sacred texts rather than the ruthless formulas uttered by the monstrously distorted and absurdly vindictive Yahweh of the Old Testament. Communication with the spiritual universe for the early humans meant ability to discern between Anu (: God as the King of Heaven) and Ea (: the Wisdom of God). This is exactly what the sacred text "Adapa and the South Wind" tells us. In one version of the text, we read about Adapa that "Ea created him as his follower among humankind", but as the story unfolds, we come to learn that "Adapa, the son of Ea, has broken South Wind's wing". Following the subsequent demand of Anu, Adapa must be presented to Him, and then Ea offers the necessary guidance: "Ea, aware of heaven's ways, touched Adapa, made him wear his hair unkempt, dressed him in mourning garment, and gave him instructions".

 


Tablets with the Me-Turran (modern Tell Haddad) version of the sacred text "Adapa and the South Wind", dating back to the Old Babylonian period (today in the National Museum of Iraq); text: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Une-version-sum%C3%A9rienne-de-la-l%C3%A9gende-d%E2%80%99Adapa-de-X)-Cavigneaux/d4fb9e0b88b15a9fe8240ad9170611bcd66203c7 / transliteration: https://www.tau.ac.il/~izreel/publications/Adapa_N&E_KutscherMem1993.pdf


Ea's subtle advice involves the impersonation of divine qualities by Adapa; the Man is guided to tell Tammuz and Gishzida, the two guardians at Anu's gate, that they have vanished in his country and for this reason he is dressed in mourning cloth. But at the end of His advice, Ea foretells Adapa the following: "when you stand before Anu, you will be offered food of death, so do not eat; you will be offered deadly water, so do not drink; you will be offered a garment, then put it on; you will be offered oil, then anoint yourself".

 

Adapa should have realized that Ea's advice included a terrible trap; in fact, it would be inconsistent for the Divine Wisdom (Ea) to offer a controversial advice. So, how could the King of Heaven (Anu) possibly offer 'food of death' and 'deadly water' to a human? On another note, it is intriguing that out of four items anticipated to be offered by Anu to Adapa, the Divine Wisdom suggests Adapa to accept only two (garment and oil) and deny the other two (food and water). It makes no sense.

 

It would take long to comprehensively analyze this sacred text, but the morale is clear and appalling. Facing the Divine realm (Anu, Ea, and representatives of high spiritual hierarchies), Man should be able to discern well the divine aspects, spot eventual traps, and avoid blind obeisance; sensing inconsistencies hinges on human impulse, which -along with human imagination- is the Divine realm's most valuable present to humans. In this regard, miscommunication is definitely due to lack of impulse. The entire story ends with the verdict pronounced by Anu "Take him and return him to his territory", an utterance that is reminiscent of Adam's expulsion from the original Paradise.

 

IV. The function of the Man: interaction among soul, body and character

If the soul permeates the entire human body, where is located its very base? For a high priest, a mystic, and an emperor this issue was of paramount importance. One soldier loses a hand, another has his leg amputated, and a third fighter is hurt in the eye. Who becomes dysfunctional at the spiritual level, following a material wound?

 

Sacred texts and burial practices, hymns and prayers written on the walls of tombs and mortuary temples constitute an enormous documentation that sheds light on this topic. Although every individual's three spiritual bodies totally comprise its material body and are therefore present throughout every single portion of the material body, the primary interconnection point between the soul and the body is the heart, not the brain.   

 

Although all the human body organs perform functions that are necessary at both, the material and the spiritual levels, the real seat of the soul in the body is the heart. Modern mystics, false doctors, and malevolent spiritual masters diffuse the absurdity that the pineal gland is the seat of the soul in the human body. This is utter Satanism.

 

In Ancient Egypt, the embalmment (mummification) traditions were exactly based on the spiritually inherent and historically inherited knowledge that all humans had in the beginning but they progressively lost. In the face of such enormous evidence, the New Age quacks of Jesuit, Freemasonic or Zionist vocation should just shut their dirty mouths.

 

The mummification process was geared in Ancient Egypt in order to ensure that the deceased individual's body would unite with the soul again and thus live forever, as it would be presented in front of Osiris (Wser: the Well Being). The preservation of body (embalmment), as procedure, took 70 days, but I want to herewith draw your attention to the following facts:

a- the lungs, the stomach, the liver, and the intestines were removed and placed within separate jars, which were named "The four sons of Horus" (i.e. the Messiah) in Ancient Egypt, whereas modern Egyptologists confusingly call them "Canopic jars", after the location known in Ancient Egyptian Demotic as Pi-kuat, in Ancient Greek as Canopus, and in Modern Arabic as Abuqir (25 km east of Alexandria Raml Station).

The four Canopic jars were necessary for every deceased human's mummification process in Ancient Egypt; they were called "the Four Sons of Horus". Specified in a most sophisticated manner, each of these four jars had its respective name, symbol, geographical orientation, and protecting divinity, which corresponded to the organ of the deceased man's body that it contained. From left to right: 

- Hapi: the baboon-headed jar contained the lungs, which -as organ- represents the North. Divine protector was thought to be Nephthys. 

- Imseti: the human-headed jar was created to accommodate the liver, which -as organ- embodies the South. Isis was designated as the appropriate divine protector. 

- Duamutef: the jackal-headed jar was geared to carry the stomach, which -as organ- corresponds to the East. Divine protector was believed to be Neith, the original concept of opposites and of the unity thereof. 

- Qebehsenuef: the falcon-headed jar was manufactured to comprise the intestines, which -as organ- reflects the West. This Son of Horus, the jar and its contents had as divine protector Serket, who was known as the divine force against the negativity, the venom, and more importantly Apep (Apophis), namely the Ancient Serpent.

d. But only the heart stayed in the body forever. This was due to the very simple reason that the heart was considered already as part of the soul and, in addition, because the deceased human being would subsequently be processed through the Hall of Judgment and his heart weighted against the feather of Maat, i.e. the divine order of the universes. All men lived in Ancient Egypt with the hope that their hearts would be evaluated as lighter than the feather of Maat and that the verdict Maa Kheru ("true of voice") would be said about them, so that they afterwards rejoice living in the Aaru (: heaven).

Modern scholars customarily project their own beliefs, concepts and worldviews onto the ancient texts that they attempt to decorticate and understand; by so doing, they fail to have direct access into the ancient mindset, knowledge and wisdom. Inevitably, they confuse their readers by saying that the Ancient Egyptians believed that their mind was based in their heart; that's gibberish. By so saying, Egyptologists end up presenting the Ancient Egyptians as finding no use or function for the human brain. That's very wrong. What truly happened in the leading civilized societies of the late 3rd, 2nd, and 1st millennium BCE is that people functioned very differently from today's corrupted humans; although spiritually and materially fallen, they were still much closer to the antediluvian and the original men than to us.

 

In a previous article published only few days ago under the title "Spiritual Potency, the Loss & the Recovery thereof: from Adapa (Adam) to Gilgamesh to the End Times", in the 3rd part (III. The Tree of Life, its loss, and its eschatological recovery)

(https://www.academia.edu/124307059/Spiritual_Potency_the_Loss_and_the_Recovery_thereof_from_Adapa_Adam_to_Gilgamesh_to_the_End_Times), I wrote the following: "Every well-founded spiritual quest is therefore the search for the Tree of Life; I surely understand very well why so many mystics in so many, different, socio-cultural environments were so obstinately determined not to allow thoughts in their minds. This is a paramount effort of self-purification. Thoughts are useless forms of self-destruction. Adam, before his sin, did not 'think'; he did not need to. Angels do not think; souls, spirits, spiritual intelligences, and other hierarchies of the non-material universe do not think. Will (voluntas) is unrelated to thinking".

 

This is what exactly happened in the Antiquity; people did not flood their minds with useless thoughts, unnecessary considerations, worthless ideas, absurd theories and selfish calculations. The curse of calculative mind did not exist, and for this reason there was no propensity to dehumanizing. The humans were defined by God, and consequently, they were human; there was no need for self-definition of the humans, as this preposterous attempt would be tantamount to dehumanization.

 

When you know what you need to know for a lifetime, you certainly do not need to find out anything new, and you do not need to question your knowledge and wisdom; this occurs only to ignorant barbarians whose ancestors have been totally dissociated from their souls. Despite the undeniable series of falls to which testify historic events recorded in ancient sacred texts and historical sources, the human society was definitely superior to ours and the average man was not as lowly as today's disoriented, toxic beings.

 

On the basis of the existing documentation, we can understand that the interaction among soul, body and character is primarily performed in the heart, the solar plexus, and the mind; however, in the past, this function was very different from what occurs among today's humans. The heart and the solar plexus played indeed a more conclusive role, whereas the mind was limited merely in the representation of the human being's individuality to the other spiritual and material beings.

 

In the Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic writing, the ideogram D 1 (head in profile) was used to write the word 'tp' (head) and the word 'tpy' (chief); it was also used to denote several other expressions such 'tp nefer' (good beginning), etc. (see Sir Alan Gardiner, Egyptian Grammar, p. 449-450 (485-486 of the 683 pages of the PDF) and p. 599-600 (635-636 of the 683 pages of the PDF).

Sir Alan Gardiner, Egyptian Grammar: from the section "List of Hieroglyphic signs", subsection "D. Parts of the Human Body"


In our world, words like 'brainless' and 'mindless' have rather negative connotation, but this is due only to the reality of the decayed, terminable societies in which we are living. In spite of the fact that the average people in the Western world were certainly more mindful and less corrupt before one century, the then prevailing situation was definitely inferior to the conditions of spiritual-religious-intellectual-cultural life which had been present in the pre-Renaissance societies, let alone the world of the Ancient Oriental civilizations.

 



Sir Alan Gardiner, Egyptian Grammar: from the section "Egyptian-English Vocabulary", subsection "Egyptian Letter t"


During human life, three main sectors of every human being's individuality are formed at the intersections between the soul and the body, thus creating the uniqueness of every character: the sentimental (in the heart), the libidinal (or desiderative; in the solar plexus), and the mental (in the brain). However, neither these words have now the same meaning that they had before 4000 years nor the functionality of the sectors is the same.  

 

V. Mind without thoughts; heart without sentiments; solar plexus without desires

The Ancient Oriental civilizations cover the longest period in the History of mankind; but from the early urban agglomerations in Southern Mesopotamia (4000 BCE) to the Iranian Conquest of Babylon (by Cyrus the Great; 539 BCE), the human societies experienced many ups and downs in terms of spirituality, moral decency, sapiential authority, imperial universalism, sacerdotal cult, scientific knowledge, cultural dignity, and social prosperity. The same concerns indeed the Late Antiquity (539 BCE-622 CE) and the Christian and Islamic Times (622-1453 CE).

 

From Sargon of Akkad (2334–2279 BCE) to the Neo-Sumerian Ur-Nammu (2112–2094 BCE), and from the Sumerian Urukagina (24th century BCE) to the Amorite Babylonian Hammurapi (1792-1750 BCE), there was no evolution, but interminable volatility; one breakthrough was followed by one setback and vice versa. The same situation was valid in Egypt, Anatolia, Cush, and Canaan; and in later periods, it concerned the entire Earth. When we attempt to reconstitute the past, it is essential to always remember this fact. About:

Because we excavate, decipher, study, transliterate, translate and comprehend ancient texts that date back to the 1st, the 2nd or the 3rd millennium BCE, and in view of the fact that we find some parallels with our times (example: an enormous documentation about commercial activities, economic transactions, administrative tasks, private correspondence, etc.), this does not mean that we should project on them the value, the importance and the notion that these acts have for us. The people, who were the creators of all these preserved documents that we explore, were very different from us.

 

Even today, any money dealing and/or financial operation does not have the same meaning for a faithful, pious person living in a remote region in India or Africa and for an atheist or an agnostic inhabitant of a major urban agglomeration somewhere in the US or Japan. Within a totally different cultural milieu, everything gets an entirely dissimilar meaning. It is essential to take this reality into account, because entire schools of historical research (like the Soviet historiography or the French School of the Annals) were formed on the wrong basis of preconceived ideological imperatives and unrestrained projection of modern standards onto the Antiquity. Even worse for philosophically based academic militants and academic extremists who elaborated supposedly historical researches only to corroborate the absurd and nonsensical ideas of nominalism, rationalism, Anglo-Saxon empiricism, materialism and evolutionism! German historicism was also heavily impacted by this approach (projecting modern standards onto past periods).

 

It may be true that thoughts are created in the mind, sentiments are formed in the heart, and desires are shaped in the solar plexus, but this reality has multiple limits. First of all, this situation is relevant to the fall of mankind; under perfect conditions, humans should not have thoughts, sentiments and desires. These three sectors of individuality within the context of a sinful life (and this is life after the original sin) tend to convert the individual into a person; and this situation makes humans proliferate the sins.

 

Second, it is wrong to believe that you can think only through your mind. It is also possible for humans to think through their heart and/or solar plexus.

 

Similarly, it is also feasible for humans to develop and express sentiments through their mind and/or solar plexus.

 

Last, it is quite achievable for individuals to form desires through their mind and heart.

 

It all hinges on the essence of the three intersections or interfaces between the soul and the body; in fact, the brain (the mind), the heart, and the solar plexus are diverse windows that humans possess and can use in order to make the particularity of their individuality known to the universes.

 

At this point, in the wake of the aforementioned, a consequential question may come from an attentive reader.    

 

If under perfect conditions a human should not have thoughts, sentiments and desires, what are then the brain, the heart, and the solar plexus good for?

 

Or, alternatively, what is it to be processed by the brain, the heart, and the solar plexus, if thoughts, sentiments, and desires are to be eliminated?

 

Responding to such a question is difficult, because it is almost impossible for today's man to even assume the functions of the original man's body and to envision how the synergy between his soul and body worked. However, ancient sacred texts and prayers include several hints about how life according to the purpose of the Creation had to be, and on some occasions, how it was.

 


Considered to be the Ka of the Nile Delta, Aaru was the main Ancient Egyptian perception of the Paradise; it literally meant "the field of reeds", but of course this term has to be comprehended within the cleavage between the spiritual and the material universes. After marking a success in the critical procedure of the Weighing of the Heart and after proving to be lighter than the feather of Maat (: the Truth), the deceased was expected to undertake a perilous journey before reaching Aaru.

The brain, the heart, and the solar plexus were crucial for the original human in order to play a role that today's fallen humans cannot possibly fathom. The three intersections or interfaces between the soul and the body had the scope to best connect the human being with the Twelve Supreme Divine Beings. This supreme spiritual hierarchy has been differently identified and described in various cultures and civilizations. To some they constitute independently created forms of Divine Rule; to others they consist in inherent Names of God. This differentiation is due to divergent methods of spiritual comprehension and to distinct efforts to express in words (and structured human language) situations that exist in the spiritual universe.

 

In fact, 'Creation' is a later concept, and as such, it is perhaps less clear and less accurate than the earlier accepted notion of 'Emanation'. Referring to the former, we must admit that it produces (in us) a feeling and an understanding of distinction between the 'Creator' and the 'created' (or the 'creature'); when using the latter to comprehend sacred texts about what people today call 'Creation', we avert such misunderstandings, because we can easily assess that the 'emanated' (or 'emanation') is more or less consubstantial with the Divine Source from where it came forth.

 

To describe the Twelve Supreme Divine Beings, many modern mystics use names that may be confusing for the average reader who belongs in a fallen society. It may be correct to call them 'fundamental truths' (which is the term used by Franz Bardon) but in such case, we risk leaving readers with the impression that these 'truths' are abstract 'ideas', 'concepts' or 'principles'. However, this would be wrong, because the first emanated spiritual beings are as real and substantive as the Angels and other hierarchies in the spiritual universe. As a matter of fact, there is nothing abstract in the spiritual and the material universes, except the lie; but this is off topic.  

 

Now, the Creation of the Man was apparently undertaken in a way to duly empower men to be actively participant in the varied circumstances of the spiritual and the material universes; amongst others, this involved the ability to interface with the Twelve Supreme Divine Beings, who are the terminal reference (before God Himself) of every created being. This may sound as a form of polytheism but it is not; on the contrary, it is a confirmation of true, and not fake, monotheism. Confusion at this point may be due to the fact that I did not name the first emanations. So, before I explain the original purpose ascribed to the brain, the heart, and the solar plexus of the human being, I will specify the members of the highest spiritual hierarchy.  

 

Twelve Supreme Divine Beings

- Guardians of the Axis of Being–Nonbeing

God-Unity / Oneness

Immortality

Omnipresence

Lawfulness

 

- Guardians of the Axis of Being–Becoming

Purity

Wisdom

Piety / Love

Omnipotence

 

- Guardians of the Space of the Emanation of Forms

Omniscience

Royalty /Nobility

Justice / Magnanimity

Procreation

 

This classification shows to some extent the assignments ascribed to the three groups of Guardians that make the Twelve Supreme Divine Beings. There can certainly be, and actually there have been, other classifications as per different regroupments, which represent separate human efforts and independent attempts to better fathom the role and comprehend the function of the supreme hierarchy in the spiritual and material universes. One of them was the Ancient Egyptian Khemenu School of Wisdom (also known as the Hermupolitan Ogdoad). About:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mnyw

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermopolis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogdoad_(Egyptian)

https://henadology.wordpress.com/theology/netjeru/hermopolitan-ogdoad/

 

With the aforementioned members of the supreme spiritual hierarchy men were created able to communicate

a- through their heart with the Guardians of the Axis of Being–Nonbeing,

b- through their brain (mind) with the Guardians of the Axis of Being–Becoming, and

c- through their solar plexus with the Guardians of the Space of the Emanation of Forms.

 

In fact, for the original and the antediluvian man, the contact with the Twelve Supreme Divine Beings had the function of going to resources. And this shows why the heart was considered as the most important organ or part of the human body by the Ancient Egyptians; it was the intersection or interface with the Supreme Divine Beings that were ascribed the guardianship of the Axis of Being and Nonbeing, i.e. the most crucial foundation of the Creation. This tells us that due to his heart (not mind, not solar plexus) a sinful human being may end up (not in Hell but) in the Nonbeing, which is the worst eventuality that can happen to anyone. 

 

Furthermore, we can certainly deduce that for the Ancient Egyptians, the solar plexus played a more important role than the brain (mind) during the lifespan of a human being in the material universe. This is so because, although the Space of the Emanation of Forms is situated on the Axis of Being–Becoming, and it therefore consists in a part of it, it is there where the volition becomes impulsively creative and transformatory events come to pass. In addition, the embalming procedures of the Ancient Egyptians fully demonstrate the veracity of the aforementioned statement because the stomach, the liver, the lungs, and the intestines were carefully placed and preserved in the Canopic jars, whereas the brain was merely taken out (excerebration) and disposed of.  

 


Instruments used in Ancient Egypt for excerebration


Papyrus with the Book of the Dead of Anhay (purchased in 1888 by Sir Ernest A. T. Wallis Budge), dating back to the 20th Dynasty (12th – 11th c. BCE); Representation of the creation of the Sun: Nun elevates the Solar Barque, and Ra (depicted as scarab and as disc) emerges from the primeval waters. What makes the perception of the Creation that the Ancient Egyptians had difficult to comprehend today is the absurd association of the volition with the mind that modern people take for granted.



The distinction is already clear at the level of the Twelve Supreme Divine Beings; the Guardians of the Axis of Being–Becoming guarantee the continuity of the Axis, but the Guardians of the Space of the Emanation of Forms ensure and stimulate its effective functionality.

 

When the early functionality of the brain, the heart, and the solar plexus gradually stopped being important, the respective parts of the human body started working for the needs of a deformed human character that was excessively sinful and counterfeit. Then,

 

- the heart, instead of pondering about existential questions, rejoicing in the Oneness of the universes, and seeking recomfort in the praise of God, started emitting praises for the split individuality of the early human being and for all those who were viewed as 'friends' of the fallen man's 'ego';

 

- the brain, instead of generating considerations and ruminations about the human contribution to the Divine-initiated purpose of Becoming, started making thoughts and plans to serve the 'ego', which appeared to be a real cancerous tumor; and  

 

- the solar plexus, instead of creating the conditions, which would transform the universes as per the purpose of the Creation, started forming lascivious desires for the needs of the voluptuous 'ego' of every member of a fallen society.

 

It is clear that for the Ancient Egyptians, the heart and the solar plexus were far more active intersections or interfaces with the supreme hierarchy and, in general, with the spiritual universe than the mind. As task, the communication with the Guardians of the Axis of Being–Becoming and the ensuing human considerations and ruminations did not have the strength of vigilance that the incessant praise of God involves, when it comes to the heart and its role. On the other hand, the communication with the Guardians of the Space of the Emanation of Forms demanded absolute devotion, concentration, and strength of attraction.

 

For this reason, the need for permanent calmness in the mind led the Ancient Egyptians to the establishment of a parallel with Nu (or Nun), who -as element of the Khemenu Hermupolitan religious dogma- represented what we now call the "Soft Waters" in binary, masculine and feminine, forms (Nun and Nunet). The topic has many analogies with the Sumerian-Akkadian-Assyrian-Babylonian sacred texts and with Ea portrayed as the Divine Wisdom and the Creator of human intelligence. To effectively play its role as intersection and interface with the spiritual universe, the brain (mind) has to be absolutely calm and unquestionably serene; this is something that modern humans have never experienced and therefore are genuinely unable to possibly understand - with the exception of various mystics and wise elders of remote realms that are safe and far from the technological rubbish.

 

That's why, as I already said, the Ancient Egyptians established a parallel between the human mind and Nun, a primordial element that can be linguistically affiliated with Nen, which means "inactivity". And this is exactly what the contemplation about the Becoming demands: spiritual and physical inertia that renders the mystic forceful.

Nun, as embodiment of the human brain (mind), stands at the origin of the Ancient Greek name 'noos' or 'nous'; however, being the trivial and inconsequential pupils of the Ancient Egyptian high priests, mystics and spiritual masters, the Ancient Greek philosophers failed to understand that the mind ('noos' or 'nous') had a limited scope of contemplation, namely the generation of considerations and ruminations about the human contribution to the Divine-initiated purpose of Becoming. They confused the roles of the heart, the brain (mind), and the solar plexus, they associated volition with thinking, and to eventually understand the universes, they started committing the two worst mistakes in this regard:

- they believed that by thinking they can learn, know and explore, whereas the opposite is correct, and 

- they parameterized everything to their "ego" whereas their sole chance of potentially reaching the truth would have been to first eliminate it.

 

When, 3500 years after the Golden Age of the Ancient Egyptian kingdom, Muslim mystics of the Golden Era of Islamic Civilization started exploring and defining the mysteries of the Twelve Supreme and Divine Names of Allah (Laa illaha illallaah, Allah, Hu, Haqq, Hayy, Qayyoum, Qahhar, Wahhab, Fattah, Waahid, Ahas, Samad), they did not know how spiritually close they were to their Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian and Egyptian forerunners.

 


 The 99 Names of Allah


The difference between the Twelve Supreme Divine Beings, according to the Ancient Oriental spiritual masters, and the Twelve Supreme and Divine Names of Allah, as per the Muslim mystics is merely a matter of differently structured comprehension. And what if all the Names of God are 99 as specified by Muslim theologians? From the Twelve Supreme Divine Beings numerous Derivative Divine Beings emanated to best attract all created beings to the scope of the Creation. About:

VI. At the antipodes of the Ancient Spiritual Sciences, Modern Psychology produces monsters, leading to the extermination of mankind

In the modern Western world, people live with the panic that humans may one day rediscover their souls and reestablish the necessary (for their survival) synergy between their souls and bodies. To eliminate the cause of panic, modern scholars and vicious fraudsters fabricated the falsehood of the modern science of psychology; the fraudulent nature of the science has been explicitly demonstrated already in its odd name. By using the Ancient Greek words "psyche" (soul) and "logos" (study; among several other meanings), they set up "the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behaviour in a given context" (according to an authoritative definition); that's utterly nonsensical, hypocritical, biased and heinous.

 

The reason for this evaluation is simple: if they intended to focus on "the scientific study of the human mind" and they wanted to utilize Ancient Greek words for their scientific discipline, they would name it "noology", because the Ancient Greek word for "mind" is "nous" (or "noos"). In any case, there is nothing about soul in modern psychology. About:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nous

 

Even worse, the prevailing, absurd dogmas of nominalism, rationalism, Anglo-Saxon empiricism, materialism, and evolutionism prevent the ordinary study of the human soul and the spiritual universe, which was designated as "Divina Studia" in Latin during the Late Antiquity and the Christian-Islamic times.

 

Taking into consideration the fact that the soul is not the mind, we have to conclude that what the founders of modern psychology and psychoanalysis really intended to do comprised of the following targets:

i- blocking and discrediting all paths to spirituality, spiritual exercises and practices;

ii- averting the spread of the Divina Studia (Spiritual Sciences) among humans;

iii- preventing the study of the soul, its interaction with the body, and the formation of the character;

iv- presenting the human character as of entirely material dimension;

v- denying the existence of the soul, and of the spiritual universe;

vi- prohibiting the academic historical research about several ancient nations' beliefs about the soul, the spiritual universe, and its interaction with the material universe; and

vii- distorting or concealing ancient texts, which comprehensively documented several ancient nations' beliefs about the soul, the spiritual universe, and its interaction with the material universe.

 

The monstrous and calamitous results of Modern Psychology have been widely noticed since the 19th c.; most of the wars, the genocides, the hysterical hatred, and the abysmal anomalies that have taken place or been expressed worldwide are due to the enormous fraud called "modern psychology" and its numerous side-effects.

Many people believe that Nazi Germany expelled several psychologists and limited the scope of work of many others, because the founders of psychoanalysis were Zionists; that's entirely wrong. As example in this regard, I present the following excerpt from the Wikipedia, which is totally erroneous.

 

"In Germany after World War I, psychology held institutional power through the military, which was subsequently expanded along with the rest of the military during Nazi Germany. Under the direction of Hermann Göring's cousin Matthias Göring, the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute was renamed the Göring Institute. Freudian psychoanalysts were expelled and persecuted under the anti-Jewish policies of the Nazi Party, and all psychologists had to distance themselves from Freud and Adler, founders of psychoanalysis who were also Jewish".

The grave mistake is not in the facts that are herewith stated clearly; it has to do with what is not stated. As a matter of fact, all the Nazi elite members were already significantly affected by the modern bogus-science of psychology, by its vicious association with Eugenics-related research, groups of paranoid gangsters, and funding organizations, and by the devilish system of psychoanalysis. The best proofs for this are Hitler himself and his texts.

 

If, in the light of earlier units of the present article, an objective reader goes through, and tries to assess, the following excerpt from his "Mein Kampf" (Volume One - A Reckoning; Chapter VI: War Propaganda), he will be immensely astounded. I also add that the excerpt in question had already been quoted by Wilhelm Reich in his "The Mass Psychology of Fascism":

"The people in their overwhelming majority are so feminine by nature and attitude that sober reasoning determines their thoughts and actions far less than emotion and feeling. And this sentiment is not complicated, but very simple and all of a piece. It does not have multiple shadings; it has a positive and a negative; love or hate, right or wrong, truth or lie, never half this way and half that way, never partially, or that kind of thing".

The meditation about all the paragons and the stages of the Creation was common among all Ancient Egyptians; primary factor of the Khemenu Hermupolitan dogma, Heh is depicted between two falcons and below Senusret (Sesostris) II's cartouche (frame containing the Pharaonic name) in a pectoral belonging to princess Sit-Hathor Yunet, the pharaoh's daughter (19th c. BCE). Found in her tomb, it is currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. About:

Any unbiased reader and observer can easily comprehend the unprecedented extent of the extreme calamity, which befell on the mankind, by comparing this confused, heinous and nonsensical dictum with the Forty Two (42) Negative Confessions that the Ancient Egyptians lived their entire lives in order to empower their souls to utter in the Hereafter, when they would be processed through the Hall of Judgment in order to face the Forty Two (42) Assessors of Maat. I herewith make available one of the existing versions of the 42 Confessions, which have been preserved in several papyri.

Hearing the 42 confessions of the deceased, the 42 Assessors of Maat are depicted above the scene of Psychostasia (Weighing of the Heart) on the walls of the Hathor Temple at Deir el-Medina (Luxor West); each of them has on his head the ostrich feather of their mistress Maat.

Defending Ra (and the Creation), Seth spears the snake Apep (Apophis or Ancient Serpent); from the Book of the Dead of Lady Cheritwebeshet (dating back to the 21st Dynasty: ca.1069-945); it may look bizarre for the rival of Horus, namely Seth, to turn against the archetypal and primordial force of Evil (Apep), but it is not necessarily. Of course, as the main opponent to Osiris and Horus, Seth is defined as an evil being (often and correctly identified with the Biblical and Islamic Satan). Although Geb (Earth) and Nut (Heaven) are said to have been the progenitors of the two couples, namely Osiris and Isis (positive and benevolent duo) as well as Seth and Nephthys (negative and malevolent union), according to Ancient Egyptian sacred texts, it is still possible to identify Seth as the depository of precosmic conditions and traits. This means that, despite the fact that Seth was actual and undeniable part of the Creation and a created dimension of Being (as per the Iwnw Heliopolitan dogma), Apep represented the precosmic situation of Nonbeing. And by taking hold of Seth, Apep constituted one of the components (not of the Creation but) of the created world. All the same, if this is so, how can we interpret representations and texts referring to a conflict or confrontation between Seth and Apep? The answer to this question is simple; every perception of the Divine that is not consistent with the nature of the elements referred to can be either a deliberate distortion or a spiritual prayer, which would involve a masterful attempt and an intention to impair the target. If the latter is the case, we are certainly in front of a magical act. When expressed within the material universe, the perception of the Divine is purely material. That's why our perception of the Divine failed always to take us to the next stage. About:
