Course XXVIII - Teaching 4: Egypt
Ancient Egypt extended beyond the north-west side of Africa to an island that now is entirely sunk. The first five dynasties of imprecise memory belonged totally to the Atlantean race.
These ancient Atlanteans were defeated by the new Aryans races, and Egypt was the beginning of Aryans of Semitic type, who inhabited the southern part of current Egypt, after the collapse of the old Atlantean Egyptian in the ocean.
An ancient legend remember these Flood when says the King Menes deviated the course of the river Nile in order to build the city of Memphis on the new shore.
Thence, Egyptian religion has more relationships and similarities with the Atlantean Wisdom and with Divine and Initiatic secrets of the lost continent.
Sciences of Egypt, which have built works that even today wonder the world, have been lost and hidden because they belonged to the Priestly School of descendants of the Atlanteans; the Pharaohs’ Egyptians had inherited and learnt those sciences.
The custom of placing the Pharaoh over priests, shows how deeply the people remembered the Early Great Kings, from the era of the Great Fight, who were Priests-Seers and Initiated Kings at a time.
Egyptian religion is essentially founded on this concept: a human and powerful kingdom, image of the Divine and Superior Kingdom.
The Pharaoh, King, absolute leader of all inhabitants of this vast territory, is the only power, first voice and true image of God.
He rules over life and death; he is true King, protector of his people; he is unique Priest, intermediary between earth and heaven. Nobody is over him; there is none with the exception of him.
He had at his disposal not only an army, but also the entire Priestly College; rather, army was the human power of the Pharaoh, and priestly caste, his divine power.
A Pharaoh was not only Mars of War, but also Supreme Oracle of the Temple.
In this image of the Initiated King of Egypt is condensed the entire power of this race that will live for millennia fearlessly and haughtily, never defeated until achieving the mission and after getting any necessary experience.
Vastness of the Egyptian Kingdom did not prevent being duly regulated and led. This people, which saw in its Pharaoh an expression of God, continued to divinize Nature and its forces; and since it was a purely peasant and agricultural people, they divinized earth and its fruits, the sun and stars, and over all, the torrential Nile, the great river that could provide them with abundant crops or with famine.
They divinized this river to such an extent that was a sacrilege any attempt to find out is source, since according to certain legend its source was in the sky, in the bosom of the divinity.
This simple and hard-working people, whose religion consisted only of raptures of the soul and natural manifestation around, and whose unique power was that of the king, fought fiercely against peoples wanting to deprive them of their soil.
