Initiation, and Prophecies of Djehuiti, Thoth, Hermes, And Atum

PROPHECIES OF DJEHUITI, THOTH, HERMES, OR TEHUTI

A primaeval cosmic god, Atum is the sun god as creator, the substance from which all creation unfurled. He is the Lord of the Universe. In his human form, he represents the king of Egypt, who wears the Double Crown of Egypt. The Ennead or Great Ennead was a group of nine deities in Egyptian mythology worshipped at Heliopolis: the sun god Atum; his children Shu and Tefnut; their children Geb and Nut; and their children Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys.

The Ennead

Pure philosophy is spiritual striving through constant contemplation to attain the veritable knowledge of One-God Atum (concept of the divine creator). 

But, now in philosophy, in times to come, no one will pursue philosophy with single-mindedness and purity of heart. 

Those with grudging and ungenerous temperaments will prevent humans from discovering the priceless gift of immortality.

To love Atum in thought with a single-mindedness of the heart and follow the goodness of his will, is the essence of philosophy, unsullied by intrusive cravings for pointless opinions. 

But in times to come, clever, deceitful and uncandid intellectuals will mislead the mind of human beings away from pure philosophy. They will assert that our sacred devotion is ineffectual and our sincere piety, uncandid, and the sedulous service with which Kemetians honour Atum is waste without reward.

Kemet is an image of the heavens, and the cosmos dwells in its sanctuary. But, the gods will desert earth and return to heaven, abandoning the land that once stood as the home of spirituality. Kemet will be forsaken and desolate, bereft of the presence of the gods, overrun by foreigners that will neglect our sacred ways. Kemet is the holy land of temples and shrines, now full of corpses and funerals. The sacred Nile swelled with blood, and her waters fouled with gore.

Does this make you weep? There is worse to follow: This land was a spiritual teacher to all humankind, loved the gods with such devotion that they deigned to sojourn on earth, will exceed others in cruelty. The dead will outnumber the living, and the surviving Kemetian will be like men of another race. O Kemet! Nothing will remain of your religion but tall tales, which even your children refused to believe. Nothing left about your wisdom but old graven stone.

Djehuiti, Thoth, Hermes or Tehuti

People will be weary of life and cease to see the universe as worthy of reverent wonder. Spirituality, the greatest of all blessings threatened with extinction, is believed to be a burden and must be scorned.

The love for our world would diminish as the incomparable work of Atum: Like a glorious monument to Atum's primal goodness and as an instrument of the divine will, which evokes reverence and praise in the beholder.

Kemet widowed, every spiritual voice silenced, and darkness preferred to light. No eyes raised to heaven, the pure would be labelled insane, and the impure honoured as wise while believing in the bravery of mad people. The wicked were esteemed as good, and knowledge of the immortal soul is being laughed at and denied. No reverent words that are heaven's worth unuttered and unbelieved.

So I, Djehuiti, the first among men to attain knowledge, inscribed the secrets of the gods; in sacred symbols and holy hieroglyphs on the stone tablets, which I concealed for future generations, that may seek our wisdom.

Through the all-seeing mind, I witnessed the invisible things of heaven, and through contemplation comes knowledge of the truth. And I have set down this knowledge in my writings.

THE INITIATION OF DJEHUITI

With My senses suspended, not weary full-fed drowsiness but an alert and conscious emptiness. Released from my body, I flew while thinking and soared, but it seemed a vast and boundless being called my name, saying: Djehuiti, what are you looking for? Who are you, I replied. I am the way-guide, the supreme mind and thought of Atum, the One-God, continued the voice. 

Atum

I am with you always and everywhere, and I know your desires, ask your questions consciously. And I will answer it, added the voice. Show me the nature of reality and bless me with knowledge of Atum, Djehuiti begged.

Suddenly everything changed when reality opened, and I saw the boundless view that all dissolved in light, united within joyous love. Yet the light cast a shadow, grim and terrible, passing downwards, becoming turbulent water, chaotically tossing spume like smoke. And Thoth heard an unspeakable lament and an inarticulate cry of separation. The light then uttered a word, which calmed the chaotic waters.

My guide asked: Do you understand the secrets of this vision? I am that light, the mind of God, which existed before the turbulent dark waters of potentiality. My calming word is the son of God and the idea of beautiful order, the harmony of all things with everything. The primal mind is the parent of the word in human experience. And it gives birth to speech. 

My guide continued: It is impossible to divide mind from speech, for life is the union of mind and word. Now concentrate on the light and become one with it. When my guide finished speaking, he looked at me from I to eye until I started trembling and saw in thought limitless power within the light to form an infinite yet ordered world.

I saw the darkness of the deep chaotic water without form permeated with subtle intelligence breath of divine powers. Atum's word fell on the fertile waters, impregnating it with all structures.

Ordered by the harmony of the word, the four elements came into being, combining to create a brood of living creatures. The fiery element,  articulated as the constellation of the stars and the gods of seven heavenly bodies, revolving forever in celestial circles. The word then lept up from the elements of nature and reunited with the mind maker, leaving mere matter devoid of intelligence.

My guide continued: You have perceived the boundless idea before the beginning. By Atum's will, the elements of nature were born as reflections of this Primal thought in the waters of potentiality. These are the primary thing, the prior things, and the first principle of all in the universe.

My guide continued: Atum's word is the creative idea, the supreme limitless power which nurtures and provides all things created through it. I have shown you everything. Why do you wait, asked my guide. Djehuiti, write down the wisdom you understood in hieroglyph characters and carve it on stone in the holy sanctuary. Make yourself a spiritual guide to those worthy of the gift of knowledge so that through Djehuiti, Atum may save humankind.

I was overwhelmed by the Almighty, who graced me with the supreme vision. In awe and reverence, I prayed, please never let me fall away from this knowledge of your existence so that I may enlighten those in darkness. Then, with Atum's power in me, I began to speak. The aloof laughed at me, but others knelt at my feet. I told them to stand and receive the seed of wisdom, which I intend to sew in you with these teachings. So, listen to me, men of clay. If you do not pay attention, my words will fly past you and return to the source from whence they come.
