Where and when was this notion of "God" established?
In Kemet, the sun was worshipped, but the deity was not a pagan one, as some scholars might have you believe.
It was worshipped symbolically as the Sustainer of Life. Without the sun, everything on the planet would die- and this is true for life in any given galaxy, in any given solar system. "Sol" (meaning the Sun) is from where the word "Soul" is derived. This sustainer of life was also seen- and in fact still is, as you will read shortly, the representative of the Kemetic Supreme Deity, Re.
Try not to think of a Supreme Deity as simply a mythic concept, the Sarcophogus's of many "Deities" have been found. So, at one time they did in fact live. They are ancestors who have died and so been removed from the physical plane. In a way, though not quite the same, some of us are supreme beings, too, but, that is for another discussion.
The sun, as observed by those of Kemet, traversed through three phases. The Morning Phase (Atum-Re [from Atum we can also trace Atom or Adam or Adamah-- get to that another time]); the Noon Phase (Atun-Re); and lastly the Evening Phase (called, Amun-Re). Some of you may recognize this word, Amun. It has travelled through all the world's languages and can be found as Amun (it's original); Amon, Amiyn, or, the Amen, which the world's 3 main monotheistic religions repeat at the end of prayer, most of them never being told the real reason why.
So, these names for the phases of the sun also correspond to 3 symbolic Hebrew words or phrases pertaining to the Deity's traits. They are, as follows:
3 Phases (Does, "Trinity," ring a bell?):
For the Morning Phase: "Dabar" which means, Wisdom, or, the Word.
For the Noon Phase : "Oz" which means, Strength.
For the Evening Phase : "Gomer" which means, Beautiful.
As you can see, the acronym for these phrases is, "God." Put together, the word God was symbolic for the understanding that, "The Word is Strength and Beauty." Those who have studied the Bible, or the "By Bill," or any other religious text will recognize the allusion to the Word and Its power to manifest Itself. The power of the Word is derived from the power of thought, which becomes utterance. A thought which is spoken has the power to Be. This understanding of the gift and power of words is also referred to as the Law of Attraction, or, "The Secret." These teachings are ancient and have been around for millenia... even longer. The Deity who those of Kemet attributed to the creative force of the "utterance" was, Huhi. Now, because the Hebrews read right to left as opposed to left to right as the original inhabitants of Kemet did, that spelling of Huhi became YHWH. In the english language, we generally are unable to pronounce consonants without vowels, and so, we received, YaHWeH.
The Biblical and Q'uranic texts are also stock full of examples of this Sun worship:
Psalm 84:11, "The Lord God is a 'Sun' and shield"
The "Star" of David
Revelation 3:14: "These things saith the 'Amen,' the True and Faithful witness; the beginning of the creation of God."
Koran 73:9, "Allah is Lord of the East and the West" (Make note of where the sun is seen to rise and to set)
(The word, "Allah," by the way, was written 4,000 years ago on the Nubian temple of Ptah.. far before the Islamic religion came to pass):
As well, I earlier mentioned that the 3 monotheistic religions use the word, "Amen" when referring to God at the end of prayer. Why are people praying in the name of a Kemetic Deity? Of course, I suppose it would be one thing if they knew they were doing so, but the vast majority of them do not. Have we, then, for millenia on end, been worshiping the one Sustaining Star of our Milky Way? Food for thought.
In the Order of Ma'at, Peace be on you,
Karast
