Course XXVIII - Teaching 5: Egyptian Gods

The memory of the Divine Atlantean Religion promoted among the Egyptians the worship of Solar gods: Ra (the sun), Atonu (Solar god), and Shour, Anuri and Amon (gods of days).
The memory of great Instructors and Divine Initiates guiding the people inspired gods of the dead: Sokaris, Osiris, Isis, Anubis and Nephtis are their models.
But the characteristic worship of Nature in the new Aryan Race creates gods of the elements: Gabu (earth), Nuit (sky), Un (primordial water) and Hapi (Nile).
These gods, transformed from generation to generation, change and live among men, are adored here and abandoned there, almost as if they had human life.
But gods of the dead were more deeply in the heart of the Egyptians since Menes, their Great Initiated King.
Solar gods were not considered supreme in all districts, but every district had its prevailing god. They worshiped Hathor in Denderah, Nit in Sais, Nekhabit in Kab, and Harmakhis in Elephantine.
Gods of Egypt had wonderful temples in Memphis, Thebes and Elephantine; all of them were built on the shores of the Nile. Even today you can see ruins of Karnac, Denderah, Edfu and Philae.
One can see the magnificent religious memory of Egypt in the sphinx of Gizeh, in millenary pyramids, which are at the same time funereal tombs, temples to revere the ancestors, initiatic chambers and stone books that contain the science of the Universe.
Osiris, lord of death, with his forty-two infernal judges, receives the soul, while the heart of the dead person speaks for or against himself. Isis is his wife, symbol of the Moon, queen of death. Osiris is Goodness, but constantly he fights against Sit-Typhon, image of Evil. Osiris is defeated and dismembered by Sit-Typhon, and his mutilated members are thrown to the Nile; but Isis, his wife, painfully looks for these mutilated members in the water, re-unites them and weeps by the corpse of this God killed and sacrificed for Good.
The Liberator will emerge from this mutilated body, and Horus, a chaste child, will be born to defeat finally Sit-Typhon.
In ancient Egypt, on the commemoration of Osiris’ Mysteries, there were important festivals, they kept vigil by the corpse and covered the image of Isis with black veils; but everything rejoiced when He resuscitated in Horus.
Hermes Trismegistus, the three-times-sage, is image of the Divine Incarnation on earth.
You find in all Aryan Religions this man that is One among all and that posterity reveres as Divine Incarnation.
The concept of Trinity is present in Egyptian religion, but representing always the aspect of a formal divine family.
Horus is born of Osiris and Isis; both Phtah, male god, and Sokhit, female goddess, give life to Nephertunus.
Upon all tombs of this ancient people, these three interlaced heads can be found.
Great books of this religion, that the priests preserved carefully from century to century, possessed all secrets of Atlantean wisdom, but the priests destroyed them totally in order to impede their access to profane people.
Some oral text existed in Alexandria’s Library, but flames destroyed this treasure forever. Now one can know certain fragment –which was wrongly conveyed– of the Book of the Dead.
The Egyptian knew exactly the existence of an astral body, and called it double of man, or Ka; thence their important worship of the dead and their beautiful art of embalming, which nobody could copy. They tried to preserve the appearance of the physical body and this way that body assumed the same aspect of past life during its rebirth.
They said Ka, or double body, was a subtle image, reproducing physical life, which covered the soul (called Khu by them) and emitted subtle radiation and phosphorescence.
