Within this incredible piece of art from the famous ancient Egyptian papyrus scroll of Ani dated precisely at the time that the Jewish scholars tell us was the time of the life of Moshe Rabeinu can be found a precise astrological birth chart. I will be adding pertinent information as we move through a new cycle, a new "Shanah" of the Hebrew calendar to explain the message and knowledge contained in this piece of art. It helps recapitulate the ancient geocentric worldview of the ancient peoples including the Hebrews and the Egyptians. The roots of an ancient wisdom are revealed in this picture as well as the "wisdom of Egypt" which the Torah tells us Moshe was fully schooled in as an initiate. It contains the basic radical knowledge of astrology and the five dimensional world including "Soul". It also reveals the importance of what the mekubalim/kabbalists call the "Shemhamphorash", the famous seventy-two part name of the Divine Source which is found in the Torah Sefer Shemot. It reveals the true shape and center of our Olam/universe and the nature of the Source of all life. A full understanding of astrology in the ancient Earth centered form as well as the planetary hechaloth/palaces and the hebrew letters as they all relate according to the wisdom of Sefer Yetzirah are the keys to unfolding the wealth of this artwork and time capsule.This scene commonly known as a "judgment" or weighing of soul scene is also the depiction of initiation of a judge in the temple tradition. The five levels of soul roots that make up the complex of the human being according to mekubalim are all included in the picture. the enthroned "osiris" in a "cocoon" of falcon down is the individual neshamah soul, the twin goddesses are the nephesh(nepthys) and Chayah(isis) root souls. the other two "soul roots" - ruach and yechidah are there as well, the ruach in the falcon hovering and turning with the sky wheel "above". The yechidah is superbly hidden as in the the name of "72" herself in torah. It is quite a complete teaching that is inclusive of other popular prayerforms and even reveals their work in building the big temple Earth. It is linked to the email teaching above from the rabbi in discussion of what a "sukkah", a tabernacle is and what we are celebrating during this moon of tishrei.
This art/book picture is the proverbial "sword in the stone". The aggadic story has the Mateh shel Moshe, the scepter of Moses sojourning in miztraim/Egypt in the house of the pharaoh man and being taken by Reuel the priest of Midian and placed in his backyard where it could only be removed by the man worthy to be his daughter's(Zipporah) husband. Only Moshe is able to remove it from the ground where it is rooted. Likewise only a Sovereign initiate Arthur of the pen-dragon, and his Knights of the great wheel could find the sword of Wisdom painted on this Papyrus of the "Book of Going Forth By Day".
To really understand the above picture it helps to view the world as a grand temple of initiation - we are all on this path - uniquely our own journeys. the old schools understood at least four different kinds of initiation- priest/shaman, sovereign, scribe and judge.
Tishrei 11, 5774:
this is the Rosetta stone of the mystery traditions. for those who understand the basics of ancient earth based astrology= the triplicities(cardinal-fixed-mutable which relate how the Earth turns-rotation,revolution,precession), the four "elements",the twelve part circle(center=thirteen)of spatial reference and the seven "heavenly hechalot"/palaces and their chiefs we have a map that explains the "SHAPE" of the creation. The mekubalim will use the sepher yetzirah to reference the basic "alphabet" - the one-three-seven-twelve. the qualities of the seven as given in the yetzirah-Peace,Grace,Dominion,Seed,Wealth,Wisdom and Life are the materials with which we build the SUKKAH that is our Temple Earth. The three obvious "dieties" on the papyrus are along with being three of the five soul roots that make up the human being are also the triplicities of astrological wisdom. this is a key to match up the "uraei"/serpents which represent the wheel of astrological longitude. Initiation involves building our own Sukkah.This is refuah sheleima.
