"I am the dream changing before your eyes. I am my body, a house for blood and breath. I am a man on earth and a god in heaven. While I travel the deserts in frail form, while I grow old and weep and die, I live always as a child inside the body of truth, a blue egg that rocks in the storm but never breaks. I sleep in peace in my mother’s lap, a child mesmerised by sunlight on the river. My soul is swallowed up by God.

Out of chaos came the light.

Out of the will came life."

EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD

[entheognosis]

I know the terrible truth of darkness, and I say, bless the darkness, for in darkness I stumbled and fell upon the crystal road. After years of doubt, the dark mind turns again to light. In the black mountain of the heart, I found my way home again. I am that light in the darkness. I am a diamond, a bright secret veiled in black cloth. The light beyond heaven is the light within.

This thing is HUGE! I wonder what the text is like - these Books of the Dead have been found with 'insert name here' spaces, clearly made for a market and not a person. They're often of very poor quality, text-wise, with lots of mistakes in the grammar and signs. Perhaps the length of this one belies that.

I am a child, the seed in everything, the rhythm of flowers, the old story that lingers. Among cattle and fruit sellers, I am air. I am love hidden in a shy maiden's gown. I am the name of things. I am the dream changing before your eyes. I am my body, a house for blood and breath. I am a man on earth and a god in heaven. While I travel the deserts in frail form, while I grow old and weep and die, I live always as a child inside the body of truth, a blue egg that rocks in the storm but never breaks. I sleep in peace in my mother's lap, a child mesmerized by sunlight on the river. My soul is swallowed up by god. Out of chaos came the light. Out of the will came life.

Personal belief Dante's Comedy is a spiritual allegory to gaining immortal divinity through the afterlife.

This conclusion comes from reference to The Topography of Dante's Spiritual World (The Secret Teachings of All Ages) and the Egyptian Book of the Dead; A guidebook to maneuvering the passageway of the afterlife to be united with Osiris and Thoth, granting the beginning of a new life.

Virgil is in relation to Anubis, correlated to being a psychopomp (Dante's guide in the afterlife).

Dante is guided by Virgil through the 9 circles of Hell, absolving the 7 sins of mortality, and transcending past Antimony into the Ptolemaic Universe. Within the 8th circle Dante's soul gains spiritual insight and it is absorbed into the Cosmos within the 9th.

The creature Dante refers to in Inferno, a Geryon, is in similarity to a Manticore, or Sphinx, who is met in the 7th circle. This creature takes both Virgil and Dante to the 8th.

To summarize, Dante experiences a symbolic death to be initiated and reborn again by the grip of the Lion's Paw, like the resurrection of Jesus Christ, i.e. to obtain "Christ Consciousness".

This is my current conclusion as I've only studied Inferno and have not finished reading through the Divine Comedy. 🧿

[What We Get When We Give :: In addition to helping others, kindness can benefit one's health :: The Heart Issue]

* * * *

From where in the body might kindness flow? Folklore and belief systems far and wide point to the heart. Ancient Egyptian mythology, for example, maintained that the leap to the afterlife required a test. Before the deceased could enter, their heart had to be weighed, placed on a balance under the watchful eyes of the gods.

The dead person’s heart wasn’t beating, but it wasn’t considered dead weight; it held proof of virtue. If the person had lived a life of goodness, their heart would be light as a feather — and the gates to the afterlife would swing open. But if their life had been filled with greed, their heart would be heavy. For this person, there would be no welcome to the afterlife; instead, their heart was fed to Ammit, a soul-devouring goddess with the forequarters of a lion, the hindquarters of a hippo, and the head of a crocodile.

This ancient tale is just one example of the heart’s symbolic link to goodness. Christian art depicts Jesus’s heart aglow, sacred and filled with benevolence. Hindu and Buddhist traditions consider the heart chakra the center of compassion.

And in Dr. Seuss’s tale, the Grinch’s heart is two sizes too small.

With advances in our understanding of anatomy and physiology over the past few centuries, science has shifted the focus for our actions and emotions from the heart to the brain. Yet, in a sense, the ancient Egyptians may have been on to something. Emerging evidence suggests that good deeds can become etched into our bodies, including the cardiovascular system — and that our hearts and our health benefit when we are kind to others.

The universe is drawn in circles. The memory of chariot wheels clacking across small stones foreshadows the asp's death as he wraps himself around the wheel. He is crushed by its embrace. The air crackles when Ra is within. And sailors who've known only cities by the sea and the whip of the rope and sail, come to moor at last amid a crush of flowers, and rejoice and weep and go on. The days before and the days after fill with the odor of pomegranates; the heart ripens like fruit and falls and breaks. Sweet meat for the lips of gods. On such a day one glances into the sky and finds the eye of Ra looks back. One finds loaves of bread on fine reed mats and the eye of Ra looks back. The air crackles. The sun beats on and on and on.

The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead is a collection of funerary texts from different times, containing magical formulas, hymns and prayers that, for the ancient Egyptians, guided and protected the soul (the Ka) in its journey through the world of the dead.

According to tradition, knowledge of these texts allowed the soul to expel the demons that hindered its journey and to overcome the test of the 42 judges of the court of the great "Osiris", one of the main gods of the Egyptian religion.

The Book of the Dead developed out of a long tradition of funerary texts, the earliest examples of which are known as the "Pyramid Text", as they were written on the walls of the burial chambers of the Old Kingdom pyramids.

The oldest known text was discovered in the Pyramid of King Unas at Sakara, and dates back to approximately 2345 BC. The purpose of the Pyramid Texts was to help the dead pharaoh earn his place among the gods, to that end they included hymns, prayers and magical incantations to ward off the dangers encountered in the afterlife.

At first these means were for the exclusive use of royalty, but in the decadent years of the Old Kingdom, the right to use them was assumed by regional governors and other high-ranking officials.

A little of the subject for our knowledge.
