The Sunset is the new day & The Sunrise is the middle of the new day
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)

The Lament of Hermes
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.

Are Your Deeds Important? 1 John 3:18-22 NIV
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
Kemetic Proverbs: Words of Wisdom
Man must learn to increase his sense of responsibility and of the fact that everything he does will have its consequences.

The Struggles of Our Life
“The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you're made of, not the circumstances.”
Box Full of Kisses (Love)

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
A King and His 4 Wives - A Queen and Her 4 Husbands
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.
The moral of this story is that we all have four wives.- 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.
