by Ra Un Neter Amen

On the Kamitic "Tree of Life" there are 11 Branches as opposed to 10 in the Kabbalah or Hebrew version:

1. Sphere 0 - Amen/Proof of GOD's existence--"PEACE"

2. Sphere 1-Ausar/Law of Oneness--"ATONEMENT"

3. Sphere 2-Tehuti/Law of Knowledge--"VALUE" & 'JUDGMENT"

4. Sphere 3-Sekher/Man's Emotions Manifest into WORD OF GOD--"SPIRITUL POWER"

5. Sphere 4 - Maat/Law--"UNIVERSAL ORDER"

6. Sphere 5-Herukhuti/GOD neither punishes nor rewards--'SELF CONTROL"

7. Sphere 6-Heru/Power to Ignore GOD's Laws not right--"Free Will"

8. Sphere 7-Het-Heru/Visualization-Imagination--"HUMAN or DIVINE BEING"

9. Sphere 8-Sebek/Verbal Thinking--"WHO IS THINKING, WHO IS AFFIRMING"

10. Sphere 9-Auset/Man's Learning Facility-- "SELF SACRIFICE TO GOD"  

11. Sphere 10-Geb/Physical Realm--"YOU WILL RETURN FROM WHENCE YOU CAME: HEAVEN"

.lol.

Was just saying. :)

I'd like for a indepth discussion of the Metu Neter. Why isn't anyone digging deep and really going at it?...  Also why is it such a logical set of books considering Ra Un Neter Amen states that we are right sided thinkers?

I think I briefly mentioned why that is in another thread...we know where the Hebrews got everything of wisdom from.

To be honest, I think the Metu Neter is ok, perhaps for beginners, but I really didn't like how he described many many concepts.  He often used terminology for Kemetic spirituality that was indicative of the racist and (European) ethnocentric Egyptologists.  Besides all this, he is not the most lucid writer.

:shock:

Yeesh... for beginners??

Have you managed to lower your breath rate down to a certain amount per minute yet? I seriously doubt anyone on here has even touched the iceberg on what the Tree of life is about and can do/is used for.

The surrender of Free will and other such things...

To be honest I haven't really got into the books at all, damn A.A.S seem slow.

Plz detail!

Guessing you're into Physics and all things surrounding... what qualifies you to call them books for beginners? The author is of a high order.

Unless I'm missing satire...

They are definately lacking in lucidity. .lol. Is it deliberate? Promote left sided thinking amongst your own whilst engaging the already over active side of your enemy? Its off Keter thats for sure...

By "beginners", I meant for someone just wanting some understanding of the Tree of Life.  I didn't mean a beginner so much in its practices.  Sorry for the confusion.

Oh yeah, I can slow heart rate significantly.  I have a resting heart rate of 51 beats per minute, but can slow it down well into the 20's.  I am a blackbelt in the Ninjitsu martial art (was adopted by an old Japanese family), and meditation was a key component.  Perhaps through my already ascertained discipline it was easier for me to hone my meditation even further for spiritual purposes discussed in the Metu Neter.




Rebel-Lion wrote: He often used terminology for Kemetic spirituality that was indicative of the racist and (European) ethnocentric Egyptologists.

One example is how he calls Tehuti (Thoth) a "god", and so some of his discussion on the role of Tehuti doesn't fit clearly into a Kemetic spiritual context in my opinion.  If you read actual Kemetic papyri, it is obvious that you would not translate "ntr" as "god" or "ntrw" as "gods".  He makes some things sound as if gods are sort of in cooperation with each other, but the neterw are all "divine aspects of the One Supreme Being (God)".  He sometimes lacks the Kemetic emphasis of harmony in the universe, harmony between opposing forces (extensively written of in the Doctrine of Opposites) and duality, in describing the functions of the neterw.  The work is not bad, but I simply do not agree with how some of the material is written in regards to a more accurate work.

So you can leave your body...

You should practice real time Astral Travel if you can do that, would be good for sneaking into places you shouldn't and stealing secrets for your work.

I can drop my breathing rate to just a few per minute and meditate in that state, haven't checked my heart rate though. Pretty much deep into spirituality anyway, a bit too much at times.

You're a classified lethal weapon, cool. Do you have to register yourself or something?

Can see what you're saying about his accuracy, can't get everything right I guess. Its the spiritual teachings hes' trying to bring across more than anything. Would be tough to find a good Kemetic understanding of the Tree of Life. His are the only books I've read that explain it from our own perspective.

The Jews are up to all sorts with it.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thats ok... it happens to the best of us :)

You can never be too spiritual in my opinion.  Our classical civilizations began to decline as soon as we started politicizing our spirituality, or in other words "got religion".



Rebel-Lion wrote:You're a classified lethal weapon, cool. Do you have to register yourself or something?

When I lived in the states Ohio and Pennsylvania, I was told I had to.  I did in Ohio, but I didn't Pennsylvania or where I am now in Florida.   I was very young so my mother made me register in Ohio, but I simply don't feel that I should have to register myself.  If you don't know whether someone is carrying a concealed weapon, why should I have to register that I have ascertained certain skills, albeit lethal?  Basically, I refuse to register myself unless forced with a stiff fine or jail time.

Agree.

Can have your head in the clouds a bit too much though, good to stay grounded. Always respect the Tribal peoples of Africa, they're enlightened peoples in my opinion.

---Edditt---

Check out his other book, this one is in practice the other is in theory. He mentions that the eastern philosophy is confusing, took that as an admission of defeat. Caught out by the right sided thinking.

I wouldn't personally. If you get in a fight and hurt someone it goes against you dosen't it? They'd say you shouldn't have used such force being trained and what not.


Best kept secret in my opinion. I'd be terrible if I was trained, lame that we can't protect ourselves in the UK.

Indeed, I would probably be in major trouble if they found out.  Either way, I look at it like carrying a concealed weapon, I would never use it unless it was life or death.

Hi Jay-Jay

I would have to answer no, not as well as our former ancestors the "Kamau" knew!

Due largely in part by the diluted information contained in the white man's version of the biblical text.

Neither can I.

You've started a thread that clearly shows a philosophy of living given by all of our  forebearers/foremother.

offtopic.gifish, more like....off forum-ish.

When it comes to life and the universe, no bible, pentatauch or qur'an can compete  to explain it all, which is why they have bolt on doctrines and hadifs to try and sure up the one book to rule them all.

Put the 11 laws and 42 declaration of Ma'at against the 10 commandments of biblcal and quranic tomfoolery which was most likely borrowed from Ma'at.

Out of the 2, which version should people strive for the most?

Greetings people.

 

I am in the UK and am at the moment reading "Glorious light meditation" by Dr. Muata Ashby.

I have been looking for the Metu Neter volume one (I have vol 2 but do not want to read it until I have read one). Does anybody know of a place that will definitely have it. I have been told not even the Ausar Auset society has it.

I am only a beginner and seek some guidance from those who have more knowledge of this spiritual system. I would be very greatful if I could get some advice.

Thanks but I cannot buy it online, especially at those prices. I know full well that if I purchase it in a shop it would be cheaper and I am a student who needs to save the pounds. I purchased number to for only £15, to buy online would cost me more than £25 pounds including delivery. I know it sounds cheap but that is money I cannot afford to spend.

If you know of any shops I could "physically" go to then I would much prefer that. If I cannot get it within a week I will just buy it online and bite my tongue.

 

Thank you very much for the reply Fine 1952.

Try the large bookstores like Waterstones/Borders in the Uk to order ANY book, it will take upto 10 days, when they have it they will give you a courtesy call/card to pick it up.
