The Philosophy of Kemetic Spirituality

In Jewish tradition, each 24-hour period begins at sunset, hence the morning is really the middle of the day. Thus Shabbat begins in the evening, as do all the festivals. This order curiously sets us apart from non-Jewish dating systems and could be considered a defining feature of the Jewish calendar (https://www.jpost.com/jewish-world/judaism/world-of-the-sages-day-or-night-when-do-we-start#:~:text=5%3A5).-,In%20Jewish%20tradition%2C%20each%2024%2Dhour%20period%20begins%20at%20sunset,feature%20of%20the%20Jewish%20calendar)

Components of Humans - Jet, Ka, Ba and Akh or Akhu. 

Timeless cycles for African people. 

Spirituality is above religion, above science, above social creeds ( holy books). Spirituality is about the Amen, the infinite unknown, and Atum, the infinite known. 

Human consciousness exists in other forms after the body's dissolution. The  Kemites referred to these forms KA, BA, AKH and JET. 

The Instructions of Amenemope.
The beginning of the instruction about life, the guide of well-being.

"Stolen melons are the sweetest; stolen apples taste the best!" But they don't realize that her former guests are now citizens of hell. 

The whole city celebrates a good man’s success and also the godless man’s death. The good influence of godly citizens causes a city to prosper, but the moral decay of the wicked drives it downhill.

This is from the book Words of Wisdom from Living Psalms and Proverbs

"Only a simpleton believes what his is told! A prudent man checks to see where he is going."

The Principle of Correspondence: As above, so below; as below, so above - The Kybalion 

Prologue: "Feeling great" sounds like a simple concept and on that is easily attainable. While it is, indeed, simple, it's unfortunately quite elusive for most people. 

As you know, I love to speak about the many life lessons of the world with a little thought in it. 

with money You can buy a house but not a home

With money you can buy a clock but  not time

With money you can buy a bed but not sleep

With money you can buy food but not appetite

With money you can buy a doctor but not good health

With money you can have insurance but not safety

and this is the problem that we all have- there are things that you cannot buy with money

On Earth people go through different stages of growth: In Africa there is a custom of renaming oneself. This is done by receiving a new name after significant changes in one's life. 

Western education is intended for the minds and spirits of the children of Europe, not the children  of non-European cultures. Western education is confined to two-dimensional linear concepts of space and time. 

The history of religion in the West is largely a history of an institution devoted to domination and intrigue. It is literally true, holy book in one hand and a weapon in the other. 

Hm (pronounced hem) were normally married and had families. Both men and women were Hm. The female term was Hmt.

Human consciousness exists in other forms after the body's dissolution. The Kemites referred to these forms as KA, BA, AKH and JET. 

Self-reassessment makes it possible for man to continually create himself anew. 

People are capable of great good and great evil. In the ancient Kemetic Book of Two Ways, it says that the causes of wrongdoing are ignorance and immaturity. 

A life centered life vs a God centered life. 

According to the ancient teachings, to do wrong, speak falsely is an abomination even to oneself and goes against the grain of any stability or success in life.  page 16

Another Maatian aspect of education is whole self learning.

Trismegistus:

“Do you not know, Asclepius, that Egypt is an image of heaven, or, to speak more exactly, in Egypt all the operations of the powers which rule and work in heaven have been transferred to earth below?

Nay, it should rather be said that the whole Kosmos dwells in this our land as in its sanctuary. And yet, since it is fitting that wise men should have knowledge of all events before they come to pass, you must not be left in ignorance of this: there will come a time when it will be seen that in vain have the Egyptians honoured the deity with heartfelt piety and assiduous service; and all our holy worship will be found bootless and ineffectual. For the gods will return from earth to heaven.

Egypt will be forsaken, and the land which was once the home of religion will be left desolate, bereft of the presence of its deities.

The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. The Fruit of the Holy Spirit is a biblical term that sums up nine attributes of a person or community living in accord with the Holy Spirit, according to chapter 5 of the Epistle to the Galatians: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. ...

Minimalism is one of the alternatives to materialism. Minimalism encourages people to let go of things that do not spark happiness. ... Materialism is a lifestyle that has become the norm. Most people do not even know that they have materialistic tendencies.

1 John 3:18-22-  18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. 19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him

Man must learn to increase his sense of responsibility and of the fact that everything he does will have its consequences.

The body is the house of God. That is why it is said, "Man know thyself."

Love is one thing, knowledge is another.

Know the world in yourself. Never look for yourself in the world, for this would be to project your illusion

The nut doesn't reveal the tree it contains.

Qualities of a moral order are measured by deeds.

“The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you're made of, not the circumstances.”

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child.

Her father kept the gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

“you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there.”

A group of frogs were traveling through the forest when two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that there was no hope left for them. However, the two frogs ignored their comrades and proceeded to try to jump out of the pit. However, despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up as they’d never make it out

King and his 4 wives Once upon a time, there lived a king who had four wives. The king got seriously ill and was on his death bed. Afraid to venture into the afterlife alone, he asked his fourth wife whom he loved the most and bought her diamond, gold and elegant clothing — “Would you die with me? And go with me to the afterlife?” The fourth wife replied with a sorry saying she can’t do that and walked away.

• Our fourth wife is our body. We like to decorate it with nice clothes, sexy hairstyle, nice jewelry but in the end it cannot follow us to the afterlife.
• Our third wife is our possessions. We spend so much time gathering our possessions — Car, house, guitar, DSLR, gold. But in the end they can’t follow us to the afterlife. It will be given to other people and divided. Just like the third wife remarrying.
• The second wife are out friends and family. We trust them, they’re always there for us in times of need. But the farthest they can go is the funeral and send us off.
• Our first wife represents our soul. We usually neglect taking care of our soul. That is the thing that will follow us to the afterlife.

Care for your body, keep it healthy. Enjoy your possessions and the comfort they provide. Cherish your friends and family for the love that they provide. But don’t forget to take care of your soul. Nourish your soul. Spend some quality time with you. Spend some alone time. Take time to pray, take time to meditate. Because it is the source of all our life and and our most faithful friend.
