Course XXVII - Teaching 5: Egyptian Gods

Memory of the Divine Atlantean Religion fostered among Egyptians the worship of Solar gods: Ra (the Sun), Atonu (Solar god), Shour and Anuri Amon (gods of days.
Memory of the Great Instructors, of Divine Initiates that had guided this people, inspired gods of the dead: Sokaris, Osiris, Isis, Anubis and Nephtis, are their models. But worship of Nature, that is characteristic in the New Aryan race, creates gods of elements: Gabu (Earth), Buit (Sky), Un (primordial water) and Hapi (the Nile).
These elemental gods, transformed from generation to generation, change and live as men do; they are worshiped in a district and abandoned in another, as if they had human life. But the gods of the dead remain very deeply in the heart of the Egyptians since Menes, their Great Initiated King.
Osiris, Lord of Death, along with his forty-two hellish judges, receives the soul, while the heart of the dead person speaks for or against itself. Isis, Osiris’ wife, is the Veiled Mother, and also symbol of the Moon, queen of death.
Osiris is the Good, but constantly fights against Sit-Typhon, image of Evil. Osiris is defeated by Sit-Typhon and torn into pieces, and his mutilated members thrown to the Nile, but Isis, his sorrowful wife, looks for those mutilated members in the water, unites them and weeps upon the corpse of this God killed and sacrificed for good.
From this mutilated corpse will emerge the liberator; Horus, a chaste child is born; eventually he will defeat Sit-Typhon.
In ancient Egypt, Orisis’ mysteries were commemorated with great festivities, they stayed by the corpse of the sacrificed God, covering the image of Isis with black veils; but His resurrection as Horus was total celebration and joy. We refer to this ceremony to elucidate where from Christian mysteries were copied, namely, the Lord’s Passion, the Lady of Sorrow, and joyful Resurrection and Birth.
They did not consider Solar gods supreme in every district but every district had its prevailing god. Hathor was adored in Denderah, Nit in Sais, Nekhabit in Khab, and Harmakis in Elephantine.
Gods of Egypt had wonderful temples in Memphis, Thebes and Elephantine, all of them built upon the shore of the Nile; today still you can see the ruins of Karnac, Denderah, Edphu and Philae.
One can see a magnificent religious memory of Egypt in the Sphinx of Gizeh, in millenary pyramids that at a time are funereal tombs, temples where ancestors were venerated, Initiatic chambers and books of stone on which the science of the Universe is written.
Hermes Trismegistus, the “three-times-wise”, is the divine image of a God upon Earth.
In every Aryan Religion you find this man One-among-all, who is revered by as a Divine Incarnation by posterity.
Even in Egyptian religion you find the concept of Trinity, but always behind the aspect of a Divine Family.
Horus comes into being from Osiris and Isis; and Phtah, male god, and Spkhit, goddess give life to Nephertunus.
Upon any tomb of this ancient people, you find these three intertwined divine heads.
Great books of this religion, carefully kept from century to century by priests that possessed the secrets of the Atlantean wisdom, were totally destroyed by those priests and so they did not reach the profane. In Alexandria’s Library, there was some transcribed oral text, but this treasure was destroyed by flames forever; now we know only some fragment –wrongly conveyed– of the Book of the Dead and the Great Kybalion.
Egyptians had an exact idea about the existence of an astral body and they called it double of man, or Ka; thence their great worship of the dead and their art of embalming so beautifully, which nobody could copy. They try to preserve the appearance of the physical body so that a being, as he was born again, could take the same aspect of a past life.
They said Ka, or double body, was a subtle image, reproduction of the physical image, which covered the soul called by them Khu and that emitted subtle radiation and phosphorescence.
