INTRODUCTION TO LEVEL 2 EGYPTIAN MYSTERIES STUDIES AND PRACTICE

 

Udja

The teaching at this level of spiritual practice will provide the experience of an in-depth study of the Asarian Resurrection myth, and its psycho-mythic mystical wisdom philosophy and practice.

This mythic wisdom study is of paramount importance because, through a properly carried out mythic teaching the psycho-spiritual aspects of the personality are first recognized as such and then understood, purified and allowed to blossom into a mythic lifestyle that understands the process of spiritual evolution as an effect of the spiritual drama and teaching related in the Kemetic myths. This means that the aspirant is to learn the myth and find her/his place as the varied aspects and characters of the myth and thereby discover the wisdom, essence and power of the Neteru (gods and goddesses / cosmic forces of/in Creation), as aspects of their very own selves. This attainment sets the stage for understanding the mysticism behind the mythic teaching that is more of a focus in Level 3 studies.

The Goal of this Level 2 Classroom

The goal of this EGYPTIAN MYSTERIES OF MYTHIC WISDOM (E.M. Level 2) classroom is to help those who have been introduced to the teaching of Shetaut Neter to grow to understand and practice the teachings and disciplines of Shetaut Neter and become qualified aspirants capable of learning and practicing the teaching intelligently and qualifying for advancing education and practice. This is in accordance with the prescribed path of authentic religion practice which includes three steps MYTH-RITUAL-MYSTICISM and the Kemetic (Sema) Yoga instruction of the temple of Aset which prescribes the three step plan of LISTENING-REFLECTION-MEDITATION. This class is designed to incorporate these plans and be an ongoing teaching running in 1-2 year cycles and then is repeated.

In this classroom the aspirant is to focus on developing purity of feeling through emphasis on Devotional feeling towards the Neteru and Mythic wisdom teaching of the Asarian Resurrection Myth of Ancient Egypt -but not neglecting other aspects of spiritual practice. In this process the aspirant will experience direct wisdom teaching related to the scriptures of the myth but also related lectures will expound on the teaching related to understanding feelings, aryu (unconscious impressions) and how to recognize and work on psycho-mythological issues that may be blocking the spiritual evolution. In this spiritual work the aspirant will become alert to and be able to work on those psychological issues that may be impairing progress and thereby become a proper initiate to receive and understand the mythic wisdom of Level 2 studies and then also the mystic wisdom given at Level 3. In so doing the feeling and intellect become enlightened and an aspirant is truly able to make the spiritual journey which is one of devotion and wisdom.

“Seekest thou God, thou seekest for the Beautiful. One is the Path that leadeth unto It – Devotion joined with Wisdom.”

-Ancient Egyptian Proverb

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Audio Assignments and Standing Questions

In this lesson you will find STANDING QUESTIONS to be answered about the lectures you will be given. The term standing questions means that those questions are to be applied to all the audio recordings that follow until other instructions are given. You are to post your answers in the discussion forum where you will be given feedback about your understanding and you may also receive additional teaching you are to reflect upon.

Video Assignment

If there is a video assignment in your lesson you are to follow the instructions given and then post your answers in the discussion section the same as for the audio assignment. NOTE-if you see a button for “PLAY LIST” in the video player, access that so you can look for the specific video for this assignment.

Reading Assignment

If there is a reading assignment in your lesson you are to follow the instructions given and then post your answers in the discussion section the same as for the audio assignment.

Procedure for posting your answers

Important: You will see discussion forums for each lesson at the bottom of the page:

• Level 2 Audio Assignment Discussions

• Level 2 Video Assignment Discussions

• Level 2 Book Reading Assignment Discussions

• Level 2 General Topic Discussions

You will post your answers, comments and questions in the appropriate topic forum and start the conversations there. When posting, include:

– the name of the lesson you are posting about (Lesson 1, Lesson 3. Etc.)

-the name of the audio and the approximate time index,

– the name of the video and the approximate time index

-the name of the book or article you are referring to and page number you are posting about.

. In this way it will be easier to keep track of what you are posting and we will also have a better idea of what you are posting or asking about. If this is not done you may be asked to go back and redo the post with the required information.

GENERAL QUESTIONS: If you have questions not related to any of the Audio, Video or Book assignments then use the General Topic forum.

Personal Questions: Keep in mind that in some areas of the teaching there may be questions that elicit personal responses or include issues of a personal nature and you can choose to share those with the group or you may choose to share those directly with the teacher.

Fiduciary relationship: The authorized teacher that will communicate with you is bound by a fiduciary relationship meaning that they cannot share your personal information or reflections without your permission unless it is a matter of life and death, personal safety or danger to yourself or the community. So you may feel free to share your thoughts and feelings privately, knowing they will not be shared without your consent and will only be used to best counsel you on your spiritual path. It is important on the Kemetic path to not harbor self-delusions (lies) to yourself and this is why this issue is prominent in the precepts of Maat.

KEEPING A SPIRITUAL JOURNAL

You should also, in addition to this forum, set up a journal for yourself to keep a record of your postings and also you will use the journal to later for other kinds of assignments. You should be honest with yourself in your journal, keeping a record of successes and failures as well as insights and epiphanies as you progress in the teachings. This also serves to help you reason what you are learning and how you are transforming through it as a human being and as a spirit being. Generally, the journal is a private document between yourself, your spirit and your teacher though you may wish to share some of your thoughts with the general classroom.

In it you will have your personal reflections as well as a record of how well you are following the teaching, the spiritual checklists, the diet and your personal spiritual goals; your thoughts and feelings about the class, the teaching, your interactions with the teacher and your changing understandings about life, Creation and spiritual philosophy.

The spiritual journal should be updated at least once on a weekly basis.
