Egyptian Ankh

I was asked to give a full understanding of the ankh according to Egyptian

philosophy.

The symbol which I was given for HEART in the Language of Light is the

counterpart of the ankh symbol and, as such, it is vital to this discussion.

See

the symbol for HEART below:

Having said that, the ankh symbol takes this a step further and it now

proclaims that

DUALITY

(the masculine /feminine or positive/negative

force) has been overcome by

NEUTRALITY.

The neutrality which I am

speaking about is the neutral place within the spinal column. The zipped-up

element in the spine which spirals us to our reunion with our creator.

are no longer thinking of ourselves as male or female, but an aspect of

ALL

THAT IS.

This is the point at which we have become a part of everyone

and everything, no longer seeing anything as residing outside

of ourselves.

This powerful neutrality is the power of the universe, the

expansive and creative particles of an implosive reunion with

GOD.

The ankh symbol, in fact, literally combines the

two forces

within

the symbol itself, namely the cross being the male element and the

oval being the feminine element (early Egyptian knowledge).

These two symbols, the cross and oval, were said to be the two generative

principles of heaven and earth and, of course, the Egyptian deities of Osiris

and Isis.

In Egyptian paintings, you find many figures carrying the ankh by the open

end. This is a trigger to all of us to realize that it is a TOOL or a KEY which

was an important part of early Egyptian spirituality.

The ankh is a NEUTRAL KEY to unlock the door to the spirit

world. Just like the HEART symbol I was given is a GOLDEN

KEY which opened the door to truth.

In the symbol for heart, the pyramid below which looks like two feet and

which

represents the

DUALITY

of this world, rises above the VEIL and

penetrates to

the center of the circle for an experience of

GOD-

REALIZATION.

Now to help you understand the underlying spirituality of other

Egyptian hieroglyphics, the symbol for infinity was the shen, which

is a

circle on top of a line, or the top one-half of the heart symbol.

You have

then dropped everything earthly and have traversed to

the infinite

universe for either a permanent or temporary

experience.

Anatomy was a sacred knowledge to the early Egyptians. Some of this

sacred

knowledge, in the form of hieroglyphics, will be discussed here.

The heart was the source of all life, the seat of the BA (heart-soul) and the

KA (soul).

The DJED was thought to represent a man's or Osiris'

backbone (spine). The DJED pillar was considered

necessary for transformation from human flesh to spirit.

The TET was also said to represent the spinal column. In older hieroglyphics,

there was a glyph which represented the bottom sacrum, just like that seen

the Great Pyramid article at this site. This glyph had the four vertebral

elements on either side, just like the four vertebra that we know comprise

the

sacrum.

Another glyph, the NEFER, or the word for good, beautiful or happy, is a

representation of the heart and windpipe.

The glyph of a ladder was said to represent the ladder by which Osiris

ascended to heaven (like Jacob's ladder in the bible).

The early Egyptians were taught that in order for this Osiris

ladder to perform, it was necessary to recite the WORD OF

POWER.

Of course, one cannot forget the anatomy of the EYE, the

UTCHAT.

The two UTCHATS facing each other represented the two eyes of

HORUS or the sun and the moon. Now if you take this to its

obvious

conclusion, the sun is the MALE ENERGY and the moon is

the

FEMALE ENERGY, you have the power of this world and all

others.

Some fascinating things which I have noticed about the alphabetical

representations are covered after this alphabetical chart of the Egyptian

hieroglyphic alphabet.

The A is represented by an eagle.....that which flies away from the body

with

wings in the AIR. The BA (soul or spirit) was represented by a human-

headed falcon. I have seen many hieroglyphic texts where the BA is flying

over the mummified person carrying the SHEN or the symbol for infinity.

The B is represented by a foot....to BE in this world you walk on TWO feet.

The I is the single feather......I become ONE when I am the single feather of

truth.

The Y is the double feather.....this, to me, carries two meanings. The Y, of

course, represents the upside down symbol for judgment and we are only in

judgment when we are in duality.

The G is represented by what has been known as a stand.....I believe it

represents something magnificent, a container with something hidden inside.

The F is represented by the horned low-lying snake.....very close to the earth

and earthly concerns and, of course, the TWO horns.

The J represents a higher and rising snake....well when you start JOINING

the

two components within you (masculine/feminine or negative/positive),

the

serpent

energy starts to rise. The J represents the beginning of the

uncoiling

of that

serpent energy.

The D is represented by a hand.....it is our deeds and actions which define this

lifetime.

The R is represented by a mouth....you ARE what you speak.

The T is represented by what some call the picture of a loaf.....I like to think

of it as representative of the TRUTH of this life which is that we are only

one-half of the GREATER CIRCLE, until we start the magic within

ourselves.

The L is represented by the lion.....the golden king and a royal symbol in

early

Egypt. Remember the saying, when the lion shall lie down with the

lamb. A lamb

is the softness of the feminine energy (white energy to the

solar plexus) and the

lion

is the power of the male energy (golden energy of

the crown chakra or

golden bowl).

Of course, there are many more hieroglyphic symbols, but these to me

emphasize the underlying spirituality which, I believe, has been overlooked

when

interpreting the early Egyptian life and texts.

This picture of Tutankhamun reveals the vulture's head and the risen snake

(cobra) as the symbols of his rulership. The significance, according to current

belief, is that this represented the unification of two lands. I believe it

represents the joining of the vulture goddess female energy and the male

energy of the risen Kundalini. These are the two forces of joined spiritual

power and penetration, illuminating the entire being with the truth of

ALL

THAT IS.

The power of the ancient Egyptians was their spirituality. In fact, the early

Egyptians thought that the god's spoke in pictures (Language of Light) and

that to write hieroglyphs was to speak the language of God. So the scholars,

most of whom haven't a clue about that spirituality, are deciphering it

verbatim

and leaving out the underlying spiritual meanings of these

hieroglyphic symbols

and texts.

The necklace pendant which is displayed below has a lot of symbology. The

chain looks like the spinal column and it also looks like a snake.

The spinal column is where the magic takes place and of course it is the

rising

kundalini energy which causes this magic. You will notice that this

vulture

carries in each talon the SHEN, or the symbol for infinity. Red is

the center

color in each of these symbols. Red is the color of the base

chakra. See if

you can figure out more symbolic meanings. There is much

here for

contemplation.

The symbol which you see here is the most magical that I have found to

date,

when looking at ancient Egyptian antiquities. I have spoken

throughout my

website about the three circles. Well, when I came across

this picture, I was

speechless. I don't think I can say it any clearer than this

image, which was

long before crop circles. It absolutely defines the

spirituality and the

mystical knowledge about this circular world that the

early Egyptians were

so knowledgeable about.

In the center circle here, they are pulling on the silver cord to

release the being from the bonds of earth. Does the silver energy

reside at the solar plexus region, you be the judge.

This image of Ptah is powerful and loaded with underlying spiritual

meaning.

The very first thing which is obvious is the blue of his head.

This blue

skullcap is a sign of complete spirituality having replaced the

human-ness. If

you have read the documents within my website, you

know that this color

blue is that same color which peaks out from behind

your eye. This is the

color of the top part of the tetrahedron of power

which is contained within

the article on the great pyramid.

The 3 of the green triangle becomes active

at the moment of

our first breath.

The 3 of the blue spiritual triangle looms all

around us every

day we draw a breath.

The 3 of the magic golden triangle slides

into place when we

have been filled with

GOD'S BREATH.

In this wonderful image of Ptah you will notice the circle at the bottom

of the

staff which he holds. The circle below rises to overcome the earthly

plane,

flowering into the ankh symbol for life (joined principles of male and

female),

as described previously.

The staff isn't held out to the side, but in the center of the body, the neutral

position, the center position of power. It is from this neutral position, having

joined male and female attributes, that the being no longer wars with itself

and

this is when the powerful golden triangle can slide down into place. This

is when

we are in our spiritual power, as is Ptah in this picture. Also, you will

notice that

there are four cross bar elements which this

BEING ~ PTAH

has

overcome.

Those are the four sides of the manifest earth world, the 4 of

materiality and

human-ness.

I was asked a simple question about the ankh and have turned this into

dialogue about early Egyptian spirituality. I hope that this written work

will

help you better see that there is more to the hieroglyphic interpretations

than currently is understood.
