THE INGREDIENTS IN ZOMBIE POWDER

The Shamans and medicine men amongst the slaves created a unique serum. This powder gives all the effects of death. A form of this serum is called Zombie Powder.

"Religion Voodoo", An Article in the 1995 A.D. August Edition Of "Focus," The Serum Contains:

One human Skull and Assorted bones blessed Vegetable oil. Two blue Agama lizards and a Toad called 'Crapaud Bonga' (Bufo-marinus).

Zombie Powder Ingredients

One sea snake (a polychaete worm), a sprig f tch-tch, "albizzia", several pods of itching pea, "Pois Gratter", two preferably female and must be the Chequered-Pufferfish (Sphoeroides testudineus), the Sea Toad, "Crapaud de Mer".

Add tarantulas, millipedes, and white tree frogs to taste.

The Prevalent Chemical in Zombie Powder is Tetrodotoxin (TTX): Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin. Its name derives from Tetraodontiformes. And it includes porcupinefish, ocean sunfish, and triggerfish; many of these species carry the toxin. In addition, several other aquatic animals (e.g., blue-ringed octopuses, chequered-pufferfish, rough-skinned newts, and moon snails) also contain (TTX). 

HISTORY OF PUFFERFISH AND TETRODOTOXIN: A CHINESE PHARMACOPOEIA

The therapeutic uses of pufferfish (Tetraodon) eggs were in the first Chinese pharmacopoeia Pen-T'so Ching, The Book of Herbs, allegedly 2838–2698 BC by Shénnóng Ben Cao Jing. But a later date is more likely. (Tetraodon) eggs were classified as having medium toxicity but could have a tonic effect when used at the correct dose. The principal use was to arrest convulsive diseases. In the Pen-Tso Kang Mu (Index Herbacea or The Great Herbal by Li Shih-Chen, 1596): Some types of the fish Ho-Tun (the current Chinese name for tetraodon) recognised as both toxic and (using the correct dose), could be used to prepare a tonic.

Increasing toxicity in Ho-Tun became more apparent in fish caught at sea (rather than in a river) after March. It became evident that the most poisonous parts were the liver and eggs. But that toxicity could be reduced by soaking the eggs, noting that tetrodotoxin is slightly water-soluble and soluble at 1 mg/mL in mildly acidic solutions. The German physician Engelbert Kaempfer, in his A History of Japan (translated and published in English in 1727). 

Kaempfer described how well-known the toxic effects of the fish were, to the extent of its application for suicide, and that the emperor specifically decreed that soldiers were not permitted to eat it. There is also evidence from other sources that knowledge of such toxicity was widespread throughout Southeast Asia and India. 

Other Marine Life Containing Tetrodotoxin

The first recorded cases of TTX poisoning affecting Westerners are from the logs of Captain James Cook from 7 September 1774. Cook recorded his crew eating some local tropic fish (pufferfish), then feeding the remains to the pigs on board. The men experienced numbness and shortness of breath, while the pigs were all found dead the following day.

In hindsight, the crew survived a mild dose of tetrodotoxin while the pigs ate the pufferfish body parts that contain most of the toxin, thus being fatally poisoned. The toxin was first isolated and named in 1909 by Japanese scientist Dr Yoshizumi Tahara. It was one of the agents studied by Japan's Unit 731, which evaluated biological weapons on human subjects in the 1930s.

TETRODOTOXIN (TTX)

Tetrodotoxin materialised through certain infecting or symbiotic bacteria like Pseudoalteromonas, Pseudomonas, Vibrio and other variations found in animals. Zombie powder consists of about 85% tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin is a sodium channel blocker. It inhibits the firing of action potentials in neurons by binding to the voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cell membranes and blocking the passage of sodium ions (responsible for the rising phase of an action potential) into the neuron.

(TTX) prevents the nervous system from carrying messages and inhibiting muscles from flexing in response to nervous stimulation. Its mechanism of action, selective blocking of the sodium channel, was shown definitively in 1964 by Toshio Narahashi and John W. Moore at Duke University, using the sucrose-gap voltage clamp technique. 

Tetrodotoxin binds to what is known as site 1 of the fast voltage-gated sodium channel. (Site 1), is situated at the extracellular pore opening of the ion channel. The binding of any molecules to this site will temporarily disable the function of the ion channel, thereby blocking the passage of sodium ions into the nerve cell (which is ultimately necessary for nerve conduction); neo-saxitoxin and several of the conotoxins also bind the same site. 

Tetrodotoxin (TTX)

Using this toxin as a biochemical probe has elucidated two types of voltage-gated sodium channels in humans: the tetrodotoxin-sensitive voltage-gated sodium channel (TTX-s Na+ channel) and the tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel (TTX-r Na+ channel). Tetrodotoxin binds to TTX-s Na+ channels with a (binding affinity) of 5–15 nM. Meanwhile, the TTX-r Na+ channels bind TTX with low micromolar affinity. Nerve cells containing TTX-r Na+ channels are located primarily in cardiac tissue, while nerve cells containing TTX-s Na+ channels dominate the rest of the body.

Cardiac muscle tissue, or myocardium, is the specialised muscle tissue that forms the heart. This muscle tissue contracts and expands involuntarily. And it oversees keeping the heart pumping blood around the body. TTX and its analogues have historically been agents for use as chemical tool compounds, for use in channel characterisation and fundamental studies of channel function. The prevalence of TTX-s Na+ channels in the central nervous system makes tetrodotoxin a valuable agent for silencing neural activity within a cell culture.

THE METHOD OF CONVERSION FROM INGREDIENT TO ZOMBIE POWDER

The potion or Coup Poudre should be prepared in June when the female Chequered-Pufferfish contains more tetrodotoxin. Be careful not to touch the mixture because skin absorption is highly likely. Tie the snake to the Toad's leg, put them in a jar and bury it. It will make the Toad "die of rage", which increases the concentration of its poison. Place the skull in a fire with Thunderstone and some blessed oil and burn till black.

Objects Needed to Prepare Zombie Powder

Roast the animal ingredients and grind with the uncooked plants in a pestle and mortar. Add unheated shaving of the human bone. A few sacred poems, spells, or text, now grind your mixture to a fine powder. Pour the powder into a jar and bury it in the coffin with the rest of your source skeleton for three days. You now have your Coup Poudre or Zombie Potion. Finally, to apply the Zombie powder, sprinkle it in a cross on the threshold of the target.

TETRODOTOXIN (TTX) POISON TOXICITY

TTX is very toxic. The Material Safety Data Sheet for TTX lists the oral median lethal dose (LD50) (for mice) as 334 µg per kg. For comparison, the oral LD50 of potassium cyanide for mice is 8.5 mg per kg, demonstrating that even orally, TTX is more poisonous than cyanide.

TTX is even more dangerous if injected; the amount needed to reach a lethal dose by injection is only (8) µg per kg in mice. The toxin can enter the victim's body through ingestion and injection, inhalation, or grazed skin.

A chequered pufferfish's organs (e.g., liver) can contain levels of tetrodotoxin sufficient to produce the described paralysis of the diaphragm and result in death due to respiratory failure. Toxicity varies between species and at different seasons and geographic localities. And the flesh of many pufferfish may not be dangerously toxic.

The mechanism of toxicity is through the blockage of fast voltage-gated sodium channels required for the regular transmission of signals between the body and the brain. As a result, TTX causes loss of sensation, and paralysis of voluntary muscles, including the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, stopping breathing.

SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT OF TETRODOTOXIN (TTX)

The diagnosis of pufferfish poisoning established on the observed symptomatology and recent dietary history stipulated that symptoms typically develop within 30 minutes of ingestion but may be delayed by up to four hours. 

However, if the dose is fatal, symptoms usually manifest within 17 minutes of ingestion. Paraesthesia of the lips and tongue is followed by developing paraesthesia in the extremities, hypersalivation, sweating, headache, weakness, lethargy, incoordination, tremor, paralysis, cyanosis, aphonia, dysphagia, and seizures. The gastrointestinal symptoms are often severe, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain; death is usually secondary to respiratory failure.

There is increasing respiratory distress, speech is affected, and the victim usually exhibits dyspnoea, cyanosis, mydriasis, and hypotension. Followed by paralysis and convulsions, mental impairment, and cardiac arrhythmia may occur. The victim, although paralysed, may be conscious and sometimes utterly lucid until shortly before death, which occurs within 4 to 6 hours (range ~20 minutes to ~8 hours). However, some victims enter a coma. If the patient survives for 24 hours, recovery without residual effects should occur over a few days.

Therapy is supportive and based on symptoms, with aggressive early airway management. If ingested, treatment can consist of emptying the stomach, feeding the victim activated charcoal to bind the toxin, and taking standard life-support measures to keep the victim alive until the effect of the poison has worn off. In addition to an intravenous fluid to combat hypotension, anticholinesterase agents "have been proposed as a treatment option but have not been tested adequately".

No antidote has been developed and approved for human use: a research report (preliminary result) indicates that a monoclonal antibody specific to tetrodotoxin is in development by USAMRIID that was effective, in one study, for reducing toxin lethality in tests on mice.

There are two types of Zombie powders. The first one contains 85% tetrodotoxin, and the second, not so much. It is less than 150 years old and mainly consists of a hallucinogenic agent, while the first is between 600 to 100 years old. The original Zombie powder is for faking death, while the second is for mind control. The second Zombie powder is the depreciated and unethical version of the first. 

CLAIRVIUS NARCISSE

Clairvius Narcisse was a Haitian man who claimed to have been turned into a zombie by a Haitian Vodou and forced to work as a slave. The hypothesis for Narcisse's account was that the Vodou Priest administered a combination of psychoactive substances, which rendered him helpless and seemingly dead. 

The Photo of Clairvius Narcisse

The book, The Serpent and Rainbow presented the case of Clairvius Narcisse, a man who had been a zombie for two years, arguing that the zombification process was more likely the result of a complex interaction of tetrodotoxin, a powerful hallucinogenic plant called Datura, and cultural forces and beliefs.

In the book, the Medicine Man applied both the first (original) and the second version of the Zombie powder. He used the first version to fake Clairvius Narcisse's death and the second to control his mind after the effect of the first version wore off.

THE PURPOSE OF ZOMBIE POWDER

The best way to apply the powder is to sprinkle it down the back or inside the shoe. The victim will collapse, apparently dead. House slaves would then show the slave masters the body of the dead slave. The slave master would not bother to bury the slaves. He would leave that to the Slaves to take care of the burial.

Voodoo Festival

However, the slave masters would come to the funerals making sure the slave was dead. The slaves would bury the "dead" slave in a shallow grave face down, with a hole dug to create an air pocket, increasing breathing space for a few hours. Sometimes they would put hollow twigs in the grave headstone in the shape of a cross, enabling him to breathe, giving the appearance of a heap of dirt with a cross made from hollowed bamboo.

This apparent death examination would result in the appearance of no pulse. Because the drug reduces circulation, giving the slave master the impression that the slaves had a fight amongst themselves, one got killed. And buried, and it was over. Later that night, the slaves would dig up the grave and free the "Dead Slave," telling him to run and go to the blue mountains, another island, another state or amongst the Native Americans. 

When the "Dead" slaves were seen in other states, towns or islands and reported to the slave owner as being alive and kicking, it began all sorts of speculations and rumours on his part, which gave birth to the Zombie legend. The astonishing thing about this scientific feat, by the brilliant medicine people or Priests, was that they mastered the art of the dosage required for the Zombie powder to be effective.

For example, too little Zombie powder would not have the desired effect on the victim or patient. Therefore, ineffective. Too much Zombie powder would have the adverse result of killing patients, which is inadequate. The administration of the powder dosage must be perfected every time for the Zombie powder to be effective.

CONCLUSION

Modern scientists are still struggling to compose the perfect antidote for tetrodotoxin poisoning. Yet these slaves chemically manufactured Zombie powder using natural ingredients at least 250 years ago. Think about it.

IFA SACRED GEOMETRY 

Sacred Geometry is a complex and sophisticated science that requires objective study and subjective meditation. The most crucial shape in understanding possession by Ela is the tetrahedron. If you turn a sphere into a three-sided pyramid with the base at 19.5 degrees below the equator and the apex at the North Pole, the result should be a tetrahedron. 

IFA ODU PORTALS TETRAHEDRON 

Ifa  Tetrahedron Points

A tetrahedron belongs to the polyhedron family. Based on the edges and angles, tetrahedrons can be regular or irregular. The word ‘tetrahedron’ came from the Greek word ‘tetráedron’, meaning ‘triangle-based pyramid.’ ‘Tetrás’ means ‘four’, and ‘hédra’ means ‘seat’. A regular tetrahedron is a three-dimensional shape with four faces, six edges, and four vertices. All the faces are equilateral triangles. One of its faces is its base. The other three faces form the pyramid.

To open portals, place the second three-sided pyramid inside a sphere with the base at 19.5 degrees above the equator and the apex at the South Pole. It is the root structure of conception from atoms to Stars. The invisible configuration of the pyramids serves as a gyroscope that stabilizes the sphere, maintains its shape and creates portals between the visible and the hidden realms of conception. 

In Ifa, these portals or Odu means womb. Each point where the pyramid makes contact with the circumference of the sphere is a portal for Odu, which is the point of entry for light from the Invisible realm into the Visible Realm (Orun and Aye, heaven and earth). In Ifa, these portals or Odu means womb. Each point where the pyramid makes contact with the

Atum is light, the eternal source of energy, and the everlasting dispenser of life. Once power is dispenced, unending cosmic laws manage the supply. The space existence is within infinite energy. It is energy from which life issues, so it cannot stop or be prone to destruction. It is contained and bound together by a timeless life force. The cosmos dispenses this life to all things within it. The universe is the image of Atum; all goodness because it is also good.

Ifa Sacred Geometry

The top tetrahedron and bottom pyramid counter-rotate in 255 of the basis of energy patterns meaning they rotate in opposite directions to create gravity. The blueprint called Eji Ogbe is anti-gravitational because both pyramids rotate in the same direction eliminating polar tension. This pattern is one of the top secrets of alchemy. 

Once gravity is in motion, the structural integrity of the shape starts to degenerate through the natural cycle of decay. The speed and trajectory of this decay are down to the introduction of energy between the visible and invisible realms. Ifa calls this energy ase, generated by ala or the light of consciousness. Ase enters a spherical energy pattern at the place where the unseen structural pyramids touch the circumference of the sphere. 

ODU PORTALS TETRAHEDRON POINTS

There are eight such points on any sphere, and these points or portals can be opened or closed. Ifa uses a divination system called Dafa, consisting of two quadra-grams, meaning two vertical lines of four components. Each component of the quadra-gram is either a single vertical line or a double vertical line. 

Odu Portals and Binary Number

The quadra-grams are a two-dimensional representation of the sphere with the double pyramid as support. Each mark of Dafa represents one of the eight places where the two pyramids touch the sphere circumference. If the portal is open, one line is the indicator, and two lines are the indicators if the gateway is closed. 

One quadra-gram has sixteen variations of single and double lines. Two guardra-grams together have 16 x 16 variations or 256 combinations. The interaction between the visible and the invisible universe is the 256 variations map the Odus of Ifa. When all eight portals open, you have pure light. And when all eight gateway close, you have a black hole that absorbs light but does not project away from itself. 

Ifa Binary Number and Portals

In atoms, these portals are opened and closed in response to the gravitational pull of other atomic structures. In planets, these portals are opened and closed in response to the gravitational pull from the sun, the moon and the planets. The original purpose of astrology Gede in Ifa was to mark the time and location of the opening and closing of these portals. 

The importance of marking these changes is that when all the portals are open, we have access to Ala, which provides access to possession by Ela. There is an Ifa book called Faith of Our Fathers by Maurice Moupois. The book is about an interview with the late Awo Gedegbe, the diviner for the last four Kings of Dahomey. Unfortunately, the book is out of print and written in French.

IFA ODU BINARY

In the book, Awo Gedegbe says the Spirit of Light or Ela, descends to our world during solstices and the equinox every 91 days. During these events, the Spirit of Ela descends from Orun (heaven) to earth (aye). At certain sacred spots, the spirit of Ela becomes visible, and Awo Gedegbe describes a traditional Ifa ritual where the Spirit of Ela, when invoked, becomes manifest and then is transformed into the ase or spiritual energy needed to generate good fortune for the next 91-day cycle. 

Odu Patterns Binary Numbers

The implication of this ritual is profound. It means Ela, as the manifestation of pure unformed consciousness, can be moulded by human consciousness. That means human consciousness is a participant in the ability to create. In simple terms, the invocation of Ela bestowed humans with the ability to transform physical reality. Meaning the power of collective prayer creates the world we live in. Where there is no communal prayer, the world comes into Being through unconscious agreement. 

The unconsciousness agreement among most people living in the West is that we are powerless victims who cannot transform the status quo. It is the perfect mindset to allow a small group of people to use the secret of creativity to benefit the few. 

The ritual of Ifa initiation enables the initiates access to be possessed by the Spirit of Ela by design. On a symbolic level, it is made possible by invoking the Meji Odu of Dafa. That means the initiator invokes all the symbolic patterns of the tetrahedron in which the openings in the top and bottom pyramids mirror each other. 

Ifa Binary Numbers and Algebra

According to the literature on Ifa power patterns, the top and bottom pyramids mirror each other, known as Meji (twice). After the invocation of the Meji Odu is complete, the initiator invokes the Odu Ose’tura. The purpose of this invocation is to have the Odu Meji copulate inside the head of the initiate generating all 256 variations of the energy patterns of creation. 

IFA, ALGEBRA  AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

Ifa is an ancient binary computer system that, in some inexplicable way, has successfully linked the probability of numbers with the complexities of the human condition and the ever-complex flux of events. Ifa is based on the 8-bit pattern with its eight-piece divination chain, 16 major Odu (chapters) and 256 Odu.

Ifa Divination Structures

Over 12,000 years ago, indigenous Africans developed Binary-based Oracle Divination Systems, based on the square of 16=16x16=256 = 2^8 corresponding to the vertices of an 8-dimensional hypercube and to the binary 2-choice Clifford algebra C1(8) and so to related ones such as C1(8)xC1(8) = C1(16). Since the number of sub-hypercubes in an 8-dimensional hypercube is 6,561 =81x81=3^8, the Ifa Divination Systems has N=8 ternary 3-structures and binary 2-structure.

In biological terms, this invocation unlocks the memory of the development of our fetus. This development mirrors the energy patterns found throughout nature. When Ifa initiates the experience of this memory, called Elerin Ipin (witness to creation). Simply put, this memory is an experiential understanding of life, death, transformation and rebirth cycles as they replicate through generation and regeneration.

Oke Itase, Ile-Ife Nigeria

This experience gives the Ifa initiate the vision to interpret the symbolic meaning of Ifa oral scripture. Each of these patterns contains an inherent lesson necessary to move consciousness to the next stage of development. The ability to use these patterns as medicine to treat physical, emotional and spiritual challenges, was established on the capacity of the Ifa initiate to go into possession of each of these patterns. 

After initiation, the method of clarifying the meaning of each pattern is to mark the pattern on a therapy called iyerosun, then invoke the pattern on the mark and then ingest the medicine. It allows the student of Ifa to spend time in possession of each energy pattern. Attaining this skill makes an Ifa initiate either Babalawo meaning father of the mysteries, or Iyanifa, mother of wisdom. Not everyone agrees with my interpretation of initiation. The spiritual axis munde or centre point of the Ifa Universe is Oke Itase, located in Ile Ife, Nigeria. 

The word Oke Itase from the elision Oke ita ase means mountain at the crossroads of power. Oke Itase is where the prophet Orunmila shared his vision of creation with the world. Oke Itase is not a mountain but an artificial hill made from natural silicon flakes stacked above an underground waterway. In the book Before Atlantis, Frank Joseph claimed that over 70,000 sacred stones are all over the planet. 

The Ooni of Ife King Adeyeye Ogunwusi

He states most of them are over specific geological terrain, which generates negative ions. The silicon flakes over an underground water source are one of the configurations he describes. According to Frank Joseph, negative ions directly affect the brain waves conducive to altered states of consciousness. Oke Itase linked this sacred place to a Golden age when global cultures terraformed the planet. 

Please note; that the updated meaning of the trident Icon in the image above uses the Niger-Korfodian Symbol, over 8,000 years old. And it means High-Mourn, like mourning the death of a Deity, King, Elite or Great Warrior. The latter translation is more accurate.

Ifa scripture refers to this Golden Age when Orisa walked on earth. Further confirmation of my theory came when Oranmiyan’s staff in Ile Ife is a stone pillar standing approximately twenty feet tall. About two-thirds up the column is the symbol of a trident made from iron nails pounded into the stone. The column is ancient, and the iron nails show no indication of rust. The ability to make iron nails that do not rust is one of the skills attributed to alchemy. 

Alchemy is the ability to transform one element into another element by opening and closing hyperdimensional gates. In Ifa, these gates or portals are called Odu. These gates are Igbodu from the elision Igbo odu, womb of the forest.

OLOJO FESTIVAL 

The Olojo Festival is an ancient festival celebrated annually in Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. It is one of the most popular festivals in the Yoruba land. Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi described the festival as celebrating the existence of the Black race worldwide. 

The Lokolokos are his bodyguards during the Olojo Festival. The movement of the Sun around October from the West to the East decides the time for the commencement of the festival. Only the Olojo chief priest identifies the particular day to celebrate the festival.

The first day of the festival includes rituals such as Ijawe Ifa Ooni (leaf picking for Ooni's oracle) and Arisun Idana Afin (a culinary vigil at the palace), and the second day is about Bibo Ifa Ooni (sacrifice for Ooni's Oracle). The third and fourth days are devoted to Awo Oloju Merindinlogun performing rites (a cult with sixteen faces). 

A public lecture and roundtable discussion on 'women in Ifa,' as well as a performance of rituals by a priest named Araba Agbaye, took place on the fifth day. The climax, which begins on Saturday and lasts until early the next day, includes Iwure (blessings/prayer) by Araba Agbaye (the backbone of the universe) and other Arabas, as well as the feeding of Ifa and the crafting of that year's divination.

The Ooni of Ife during the Olojo Festival

The Ooni (king of Ife) appears after seven days of seclusion and denial, including food and water, communing with the ancestors and praying for his people. It is to make him pure and ensure the efficacy of his prayers. Before the Ooni emerges, women from his maternal and paternal families sweep his palace, symbolically ridding it of evil.

The Ooni later appears in public with the Are Crown, believed to be the original used by Oduduwa to lead a procession of traditional Chiefs and Priests to perform at the Shrine of Ogun. The next stage of the ceremony is leading the crowd to the Okemogun shrine. Here he performs duties including the renewal of oath, divination for the Ooni at the foot of Oketage hill by Araba (Chief Priest), and visiting places of historical importance.

At the shrine, the traditional Chiefs with the swords of office marked with chalk and camwood appear in ceremonial attire and dance to rhythms to a drum called Bembe. The style of grum and singing for each Chief is different. Only the Ooni can dance to the drum called Osirigi.

Olojo has remained popular in Ile-Ife because of its myth and history. It connotes the day in the year, especially blessed by Olodumare (the creator of the cosmos). Olojo means the Owner for the day. They pray for peace and tranquillity in Yoruba and Nigeria. All age groups participate. Its significance is the unification of the Yoruba tribes.

Tradition holds that Ile-Ife is the cradle of the Yorubas, the city of survivors, the spiritual seat of the Yorubas, and the land of the ancients.

The Gnostics were religious mystics who proclaimed Gnosis knowledge as the way to salvation. To know self strictly allowed gnostic men and women to know god without needing Rabbis, Priests, Bishops, Imams and other religious officials.

Sethian Text

THE HEAVENLY ATTENDANTS: GNOSTIC BIBLE

The dignitaries in attendance are Yesseus, Mazareus, Yessdekeus, living water, Jacob the great commander, Theopemptos, Isaouel and Mep--el, stationed over Grace. 

Those stationed over the spring of truth are, Micheus, Michar and Mnesinous. The purifier Barpharanges is in charge of the baptism of the living. Miseus and Michar have control over the gates of the River of Life. 

Seldao and Elainos are over the ascent, including managing those receiving the holy race, the incorruptible Mighty people of Seth.

Gamaliel, Gabriel, Samblo and Abrasax are the ministers of the four luminaries. Olses, Hymneus and Heurumaious are the supervisors of Sunrise. 

Phritanis, Mixanther and Michanor monitor the entrance into the state of rest of eternal life. Akraman and Strempsouchos are the guardians. Eli Eli, Machar Michar, and Seth are the great powers, invisible, incorruptible and unnamable in spirit and silence.

Harmoztel is the luminary, the living self-conceived god of truth, with the incorruptible human Adamas. Second, Oroiael, including Majestic Seth and Jesus of life, came and was crucified under the law. Third, Deveithai is where the children of divine Seth are at rest. Fourth, Eleleth is where the souls of the children are at rest. Fifth, Yoel controls the entry of those who are to be ordained and to be baptised, with holy baptism that surpasses heaven. Those who undergo this kind of baptism have received instructions, understood, and will not taste death.

BAPTISMAL CEREMONY HYMN:

Yesseus, EOEOUOOUA, in truth truly, Yesseus, Mazareus and Yessedekus living in water, child of the child, name of all glories, eternal being. IIII, EEEE, EEEE, OOOO, AAAA, in truth truly, EIAAAAOOOO, being who sees the ageless realms, in verity truly. A, EE, EEE, IIII, UUUUU, OOOOOOO, beings who exist forever, in truthfulness truth. IEAAIO, the heart being, U, forever and ever, you are what you are.

This great name of yours is upon me, you self-conceived and lacking in nothing, independent, invisible to all except me, invisible to all. Who comprehends you in speech or praise? Knowing you made me mingled with your constancy. I have armed myself, wearing the armour of grace and light and become bright. 

The mother was there for the loverly beauty of grace. So, I stretched out my two hands, formed from a circle of dazzling lights in my chest, and enabled form to the many beings produced in light beyond reproach. In truth, I shall declare your glory. I have comprehended you--yours, Jesus; look, eternal O, eternal E, Christ, O eternal realm *2, god of silence. 

I honour you faithfully. You are my place of rest, child, ESES, the E, formless ones existing within each other. And raising the person by whom you will purify me into your life, according to your imperishable name. So, the sweet smell of life lies in me. I have mixed it with water as a model for all the rulers. So that I may live in the peace of the saints and you who are forever, true.

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.
