Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 5 -- Maat

Hetep Everyone,

Once again, here, is my meditation objective for this meditation cycle: I want to see my transformation into a Divine Being as I learn to pause and consciously observe my decision processes before I act.

Many of my posts contain writings about my desire to transform into a Divine Being. Of course, what I mean by that is that I want to resurrect the dormant Ausar energies that are all ready inside of me. The question in the back of my mind has always been what will this new perception I seek look like?

I've been using as my model the perception of reality that already exists; however, I know that the perception I want is one that I cannot see, the one that is more wonderful than I can imagine in my current limited state of existence. My meditation has brought me a way to access a new vision. Something really obvious.

I have memorized the 11 Laws of Maat and can recite them. Also, I have memorized an affirmation to accompany the laws. The problem is that I don't speak the language of the laws. Each law represents a field of energy and descriptive aspects that can be applied to personalities and situations. Some of these traits or shaping factors can be found in the Metu Neter vol. 1, pages 266-299 and 371-378.

If I add these aspects to my repertoire for the laws, then I should have enough verbiage to begin to speak the language of the laws and form coinciding images. The point of this is to use the energies of Sebek (language) and Het-Heru (images) to help reprogram my perception.

This may sound extreme, but continuing to reinforce the images and thoughts that have proved so limiting to me seems to me to be extreme. It's worth a shot.

Here is the Law of Maat, personalized form the words of Ra Un Nefer Amen in his book, Maat: the 11 Laws of God.

Maat: God needs me in order to come into the world. Fulfilling God's need is the highest act of love and only through my love for God can I fulfill my love for others. I become the love of God in the world for the protection of the world.

How do I break the Law of Maat by not pausing and observing?

I reinforce the same language and images that I am familiar with, perpetuating the same reality. This limits how I observe my thoughts, feelings and actions and it limits the new reality I can create.

That is all for now. I wish you great fortune. Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 1 -- Amen

Hetep Everyone,

Here, is my meditation objective for this meditation cycle: I want to see my transformation into a Divine Being as I learn to pause and consciously observe my decision processes before I act.

What does this mean? One of the things that I learned in the last meditation cycle was how very important it is for me to work on my transformation as a Divine Being. By this I mean that I already am a Divine Being; however, that part of me is still submerged by my ego (Auset). I must transform my ego so that it becomes receptive to my divinity, allowing it (Ausar) to resurrect itself. That is what this entire journey is about for me, living as Ausar. From my understanding, pausing (Men Ab -- Heru) and observing with the eye of Tehuti is the key to living as Ausar 24 hours a day.

I want to become conscious of the repetition of the processes I use to make decisions. I have been looking for a way to transform without feeling that I am forced to do so. One of the affirmations in Ra Un Nefer Amen's Tree of Life Meditation System states, "God does not compel me to do what is right..." If there is any force applied at all it is done, not with a whip, but Maat's feather. What if the mere at of observing myself without judgment is a major key to assisting my transformation. I think the theory is worth a meditation cycle, especially since it will help me to stop judging myself.

Here is how I came to this idea: DNA contains a replicating function. In an earlier post, I compared this replication to our thought processes -- how we repeat the same thoughts over and over again while replaying the accompanying images. I was really good at using this replication to produce actions that led to consequences that I really did not want. I realized that if I paused the thought, I could pause the replication and intensification of the emotions. As a result, I'm much better at transforming my emotions.

I'm still growing into the application of this understanding, however, which is the reason for this cycle's objective of pausing and observing. During the time I am able to pause, it is my intention to apply a formula that has come to me: From form to formlessness = transformation/reformation. In observing the formlessness of form, I wish to perceive better images, thoughts, and affirmations, which should stimulate better transformations (realities), leading to my Divinity.

Not pausing means that I automatically repeat similar thoughts, feelings and actions -- the same reality that I already know; thus, no transformation.

Here is the Law of Amen, personalized form the words of Ra Un Nefer Amen in his book, Maat: the 11 Laws of God.

Amen: I am made in the likeness of a peace that nothing can disturb. I reclaim my peace that I may attain to the reason I have come into existence -- the enjoyment of life.

How do I break the Law of Amen by not pausing and observing?

I deny the formlessness of Amen and thus the potential to create what is yet to be born.

That is all for now. I wish you great fortune. Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 15 -- Heru

Hetep Everyone,

In a reading that I did using the Oracle cards of Tehuti, concerning my role in God's Divine plan for me, I received positive Maat and negative Ausar. It took me a while to grow into the understanding of how I could use this information. First, I was flattered that I was actually learning the Law, but I was deeply ashamed of what the combined metutu meant. I knew the Law, but not how to apply it.

I was reminded of a quote from Ra Un Nefer Amen's book, Tree of Life Meditation System, pages 231-232:

"It is of utmost importance to understand that spiritual growth does not take place from studying of scriptures, spiritual literature, doing rituals, meditating, deity or ancestor possession, etc. They are merely means of preparing you to live truth at the crossroads."

The Maat/Ausar reading warned me against having too much knowledge without any understanding of the All and that placed me in the midst of evil. I've made some mistakes. The mistakes have been worse, because of my greater potential for misunderstanding. I knew that I needed to cultivate a greater understanding of Ausar, but I didn't know how. What I did know to do was to apply a greater effort in sharing and loving unconditionally with a compassionate understanding that I needed a whole picture before making decisions and judgments.

Knowing my need to develop my aspects of Maat and Ausar meant that I would be able to successfully practice these aspects only when I could stop and think about what I was doing. Given my weak skills in Men Ab (Heru, waking trance meditation), I felt inadequate.

One of the things that I have been doing is developing techniques to stimulate my Ra (life force energy). This seems to be working. I want to project light energy all of the time. I used to fear that I would drain my own life force by doing this, but I actively generate this energy every day, filling my being with it so that I have an abundance for my Self and enough to project to others. In fact, the act of projecting the energy helps to restore the energy I project. In essence, sharing light energy amplifies the energy so that it grows exponentially.

As an example of what I'm talking about, for each person you share the light energy with, you receive the light energy back like 10-fold. The energy amplifies the energies of all spheres on the Tree of Life. I am beginning to believe that learning to cultivate this energy and projecting it to others in its purest form is one of the main reasons that we are here on this physical plane.

The upshot of actively cultivating my Ra is that I'm feeling more comfortable with my efforts. As I share this energy, I imagine my Ausar (Divine Being) sharing energy with the Ausar energy of others. I like this imagery because it is pure. When I think of someone else's Ausar, I imagine my pineal gland connecting with theirs. In that sense, there is no judgment of the person because I only see the pineal gland and it is pure melanin. This helps me to be much more compassionate, especially if I give the energy to someone with whom I have a problem. If Ausar meets Ausar, there is no doubt that the problem will be resolved.

As for Heru, I am more hopeful for improving my Men Ab skills than ever before.

Well, that's it for now. I wish you great fortune. Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 5 -- Maat

Hetep Everyone,

Imagine that you have never heard of the concept of siblings. You meet someone and he introduces you to his mother. You travel to another part of the world and you meet someone different who introduces you to her mother, but the mother is the same mother you've already met. You don't know what a sibling is so you think that someone could be lying.

How can you explain this? Two different people from two different parts of the world both claim that this one woman is their mother. How can they both be telling the truth? The only way to explain this phenomenon is to understand that both people come from the same source (the mother) and that the mother can have multiple children.

Everything that happens to us is based upon this type of inter-relationship, but without knowing the source, we can't see the connections. Let me remind you of my meditation cycle objective:

I want to experience my purpose in God's Divine plan for me based upon truthful premises determined by relationships of how my functions (thoughts, feelings, and actions) fit the form I'm trying to create (my purpose).

When the above insight came to me, I had to ask the following question:

What is the inter-relationship between my feeling powerful and worthy verses my taking actions that fit my functions to form fulfilling my Divine purpose?

The answer had nothing to do with emotions, but everything to do with letting go. I wrote out this formula:

• Detach from what I think is reality.
• Accept what's happening.
• Immerse myself in my situation.
• Seek out images of joy for going with the flow.
• Look for opportunities of transformation. Every situation is an opportunity for creation. Be what you are -- Divine.

I realized that I had no idea what I had expected feeling worthy and powerful enough to fulfill my Divine purpose would be like. All I know is that I'm feeling it. The answer lies in letting go.

I'm not talking about a leap of faith. Amen is peace -- no things and everything, where everything is formless and, therefore, can be changed. Ausar is unity, making sure that all changes are balanced and in alignment. Tehuti shows you what to change and how. Seker gives you the power through Love -- giving without expectation of receiving.

All of this means that I can change anything I want as long as I follow Maat: the 11 Laws of God. This isn't about seeking permission from deities outside of myself. All of these deities are different aspects of energy vibrations that are a part of me waiting for me to tap into them. I must give permission to myself. I am the judge of my own worthiness and power, not some outside source.

Here is the Law of Maat, personalized from the words of Ra Un Nefer Amen in his book Maat: the 11 Laws of God.

Maat: God needs me in order to come into the world. Fulfilling God's need is the highest act of love and only through my love for God can I fulfill my love for others. I become the love of God in the world for the protection of the world.


How do I break the Law of Maat?

I have been unable to experience my purpose in God's Divine plan for me because I have been unable to see how my functions fit the form of that plan.

Well, that's it for now. I wish you great fortune. Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 17 -- Maat

Hetep Everyone,

I'm sure that you have noticed that my posts are off. I will try to catch them up.

I am having some tremendous insights regarding the enjoyment task that I have given myself. The thing that I have noticed most is that I'm less critical of myself and that it's easier to look for things to enjoy rather than things to criticize. I even found myself admonishing my niece for implying that the harsh things in life are true reality and that the enjoyable things are fantasy.

The Law of Amen teaches that both perspectives are true and that our conditioning (training, programming) has taught us that only one perspective can be real. Most probably, our experiences in society have taught us that pain is more real than joy so we scoff at joy. The Metu Neter teaches the system of how to avoid or solve conflicts so that we can consistently have peace, allowing the fulfillment of the Law of Amen.

Here is the Law of Amen, based upon Ra Un Nefer Amen in his book, Maat: The 11 Laws of God, -- You were made in the likeness of a peace that nothing can disturb. Reclaim your peace that you may attain to your reason for coming into existence -- the enjoyment of life. The Law of Amen is set above the Tree of Life, not on it. This means that all of the other ten laws allow you to be able to practice the Law of Amen.

Maat is the coordinator of all the laws. Two of the concepts that help me to grasp the coordination of Maat are interdependence and inter-relationship. Today, these concepts are explained as "holism" or "holistic thinking."

I don't pretend that I can adequately explain these concepts to you because I still am growing into my own understanding of them. However, studying the natal chart of my horoscope and the natal charts of other people has become good practice for my understanding of the way that Maat's coordination works and why it leads to peace and joy.

Every imagined society based upon joy, created from a European perspective that I have seen shows a society that does nothing except play or "Walk Around Heaven All Day," as the song says. It's like everyone's desire for thinking just stops. However, our ancestors left us blueprints that explain what to do with a society based upon joy -- build a society based upon advancing life and creation. They were able to do this because of their advanced understanding of death and loss, far removed from the limitations of pain.

My point is that if you scoff at joy as a societal aim, please reconsider the power of perspective.

This is all for now. Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 5 -- Maat

Hetep Everyone,

What if being a Divine Being means simply fulfilling your purpose and using that paradigm to make your decisions?

I know there's more to it than that -- a lot more, but what a starting point? You would have to know what your purpose is. I used an Oracle reading from the Metu Neter cards, my astrological natal chart (North Node) and dreams to learn that my purpose, first is to heal from the vestiges of slavery and segregation which I inherited from my parents and grandparents and then to learn how to teach what I know about reclaiming inner peace. This is the direction in which I'm traveling.

Here is the Law of Maat, personalized from the words of Ra Un Nefer Amen in his book, Maat: the 11 Laws of God

Maat -- God needs me in order to come into the world. Fulfilling God's need is the highest act of love and only through my love for God can I fulfill my love for others. I become the love of God in the world for the protection of the world.

How do I break the Law of Maat be not experiencing my worth as a Divine Being?

I have not committed to fulfilling my purpose, allowing God to come into the world through me. I'm still healing so I'm cutting my Self a little slack. I am happy, however, to focus now on fulfilling my purpose instead of healing feelings of worthlessness. My purpose creates my worthiness. I just have to program this into my will.

That's all for now. Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 4 -- Seker

Hetep Everyone,

Fear, anger, anxiety, hatred, and almost all negative feelings may come from the same source, a lack of forehand knowledge in spiritual power -- the territory of Seker. I believe in spiritual power, but I don't know it from experience. If I had knowledge of it, I would never forget it, yielding to all of those negative emotions.

I am highly grateful that I am learning (very slowly, however) from experience that one of the greatest tools that I have at my disposal is my perspective, the way I see, understand and interpret everything. Even more important is the fact that I can change my perspective. In the midst of an anxiety attack, I can change my perspective to realize that I have access to spiritual power, which can help me change the situation. All I have to do is to develop the skill to do so and this is one of the greatest purposes of the Tree of Life Meditation System.

Here is the Law of Seker, personalized from the words of Ra Un Nefer Amen in his book, Maat, the 11 Laws of God:

Seker -- When the emotions of man manifest in response to the word of God, they have the power to influence the course of any and all events in the world.

How do I break the Law of Seker by not experiencing my worth as a Divine Being?

I forget that I can change my perspective, thus, change my emotions, and in doing so, influence the course of any and all events in the world.

Insight: This is an extremely powerful statement and in the presence of this Western society almost impossible to believe, but I do work hard to go beyond belief to experience.

Well, that's it for now. Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 3 -- Tehuti

Hetep Everyone,

My posts are off, meaning that I am one post behind. This is due to my meditations being off. I apologize for this. I've got to work hard to catch up. As I stated many times during the postings of the last meditation cycle, what I find most significant is persistence, not perfection. In my defense, however, I am constantly searching for more ways to be more consistent. I beg your indulgence.

The objective of this meditation cycle is to experience my worth as a Divine Being, focusing on both my worthiness and my Self as a Divine Being.

First, in understanding Tehuti, I had to learn and still have to learn about perception and meaning. Mostly, what I'm learning is that nothing has any meaning until I give it meaning.

Think about a baby reaching to touch a hot heater. To the baby, she is just experiencing the sense called, "touch". Adults will say to the baby, "Hot!, Hot!," giving to the baby the meaning of "hot". However, a Yogi, or someone highly skilled in mind control can apply their finger to a flame, hold it there and experience no pain or burns. My point is that meaning is conditional, based upon perception. This tells me that I have the power to determine the meaning of my own worth and worthiness.

Isn't this a powerful thought? I have the power to choose my perception, thus changing the meaning of anything I want. Let me give an example of what I mean by perception in terms of my worth as a person and not a Divine Being.

I'm in Wal-Mart, right? I'm walking down the aisles looking at things I want, but I don't have the money to buy them. How do I feel? Deprived? Impoverished? Desperate for more money?

Let's change the scene.

In my imagination, I am in a cornfield wearing the crown of Ausar. All around me is lush, green vegetation. I can have all that I want there. My access is unlimited and the abundance is infinite. How do I feel? Blessed? Rich? Sated?

Under both circumstances, I'm in a place of plenty, but my perception of what I have access to is different. Is it possible to be in Wal-Mart with little money and feel blessed, rich, and sated. Similarly, is it possible to be in a lush cornfield with unlimited access and feel deprived, impoverished, and desperate for money no matter how much I have? Yes! I've experienced both perspectives in Wal-Mart and my imagination. The difference is a better understanding of Tehuti.

Tehuti is the all-seeing eye -- omniscience. If I concentrate less on how I feel and more on the meaning of my purpose for being in Wal-Mart then my perspective becomes more focused and my choices become clearer. I am able better to accept my circumstances. Why? Tehuti helps you to detach yourself from the things you don't need and to accept the things you do need all without resentment. This is the result of a clearer understanding of purpose and what must be done to fulfill that purpose.

Currently, I am growing into this understanding. What is unclear to me is my understanding of my Self as a Divine Being. As a Divine Being, should I even concern myself with the concept of worth? Am I worthy merely by existing and acknowledging my worth? Can I do nothing and still be worthy? Is there a difference between being worthy and Divine?

I don't have any answers to these questions or the myriad others I could ask along these lines. I'm still searching, growing in my understanding.

Okay, let me give you the Law of Tehuti, which I have personalized from the words of Ra Un Nefer Amen in his book, Maat the 11 laws of God.

Tehuti: When all of my thoughts, feelings, and actions reflect the word of God, then the power of God's spirit and a peace that nothing can challenge will flow through my being.

How do I break the Law of Tehuti by not experiencing my worth as a Divine Being?

Insights:

• My thoughts reflect my desire to feel worthy as a Divine being, but not my feelings and actions.
• I have to work very hard to act upon the knowledge that I have access to a peace that nothing can challenge.

I'm going to stop here for now and just say...until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Assessment -- Maat

Hetep Everyone,

A drop from the ocean contains the qualities of the ocean, but not its quantity. Similarly, I am a piece of God. As such, I am a Divine Being, but not God -- The All. As Above, So Below.

These are great statements, but what do they mean in the midst of temptation, if I forget them? Trance, waking, and Men Ab meditations all are designed to ensure that I remember my Divinity, my identification of my Self as Ausar, but my ego is so strong that it protects itself by directing temptations toward me that lead me away from performing these meditations. All I have to defend my Self is my desire to recognize my Divinity -- Ausar.

What motivation stokes the fires of this desire to identify my Self as Divine? What's the reward? To recognize my Self as a creator, giving God experience.

In theory, this sounds awesome. In practice, the hardest thing for me to believe is that I can influence the world around me. Falling prey to urges and temptations reinforce this belief. How can I be a creator if I cannot stop myself from trying to escape scary situations or overindulging in unhealthy foods?

I am learning slowly...very slowly... to understand, through the energy of Maat, the need to recognize the form and function of my thoughts, feelings, and actions in situations. The purpose of this is to understand that anything that has a form came from formlessness and thus can return to that state and be reshaped simply by changing my perspective of the form and its function.

A cookie is something that I would like to eat only if I apply to it a meaning that makes it palatable. However, if I apply a meaning to the cookie that identifies it as a waste of my time, energy and Divinity, then its function changes from being a source of enjoyable food, to being a source of distraction away from my ability to create the world that I want to live in and how I want to exist in that world as a Divine Being.

The size of the cookie may be small, but its size is irrelevant. What is relevant is the principle of transforming my perspective of form and function in the midst of temptation. If I can do this for something as small as a cookie, then I can apply the same principle in any situation like transforming the meaning of lack to prosperity simply by broadening my view of what is around me.

Learning to use what I have such as learning to desire the sweet taste of fruit above that of a cookie, and then sharing the principle of transforming perspectives with others is Maat in action.

By applying this principle, I can transform my identity of Self and my world, becoming the experience God intended.

This begs the question: What will the world that I want to live in look like?

I don't know yet, but it's fun thinking about the answer.

This is all for now. Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 17 -- Maat

Hetep Everyone,

Ra Un Nefer Amen tells us that Divine Law is an expression of the inter-relationship between all things. What in the world does this mean? When I first began the Tree of Life Meditation System (TOLM), I always skipped over this information because I didn't understand it. I don't claim to fully understand it, but this is as much a mission of mine as mastering Men Ab and Waking meditation.

The way I picture the inter-relationship and interdependency of Divine Law is like a machine (bicycle-type) with 11 wheels bound by one chain all turning together to move you forward. There must be a great deal of order and structure to coordinate this movement or it won't work. This means that movements are free, but limited to their own space. This is Maat keeping everything in order so that structural integrity is maintained.

When I started this meditation cycle, I wanted to manifest some money. This was the first time that I had done a cycle concerning something so tangible. I was very skeptical about being able to meet my objective. My life experiences have conditioned my perspective so that I expect disappointment and fear success. If you've read some of my earlier posts then you may have a clearer picture as to how this backwardness developed. Only my work with the TOLM system has given me the courage to attempt to achieve this particular objective.

Every time I begin a cycle, I never know what will reveal itself.The reason for this has mostly to due with Maat. Maat must keep everything in balance. There is no need for me to manifest money if I am not ready to be a good steward of it. First, my weaknesses as a steward must be exposed so that they can be strengthened. Once strengthened, structure and balance will have been established. Then I will be ready to manage successfully the money I receive. Bring my spirit into alignment first, then give me what I want, if it will not disturb the balance of anyone or anything else. This is Maat, maintaining order. This is why spiritual alignment is spiritual cultivation.

Cultivating the spirit takes time, patience, and dedication. This scenario doesn't quite fit with our modern culture, which worships, through deed and action, the instantaneous. According to the Metu Neter, before our five senses can detect the physical objects which have manifested, those objects must first develop through 10 other invisible spheres of creation -- Amen, Sphere 0 through Auset, Sphere 9. If you can believe (Know) that this is true, this means that almost all of processes of existence are invisible.

Think of a pregnant woman. In this Western culture, before they invented machines that could create pictures of the gestation process, people had to simply trust and be patient until the child came. The Metu Neter provides the information we need to understand the processes of spiritual, and, therefore, physical transformation.

In the Tree of Life Meditation System, I found chapter 10, the chapter on Maat to be perhaps the most boring chapter in the book. It's kind of like watching a planted seed grow before it breaks ground. Reading this chapter, like cultivating your spirit is an act of knowing that all of the work you put into it has a great potential for bearing the sweetest fruit -- the fruit on the Tree of Life.

That's it for now. Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 5 -- Maat

Hetep Everyone,

I was very excited about my meditation last night. My objective seems to be shifting. This happens quite often. I begin the meditation cycle with one objective and it shifts into something else that needs to be resolved before I can continue with what I originally intended or I no longer see a need for my original objective.

This seems to have occurred. The objective seems to have shifted to my fear of taking action -- a much needed objective.

Now, let's discuss Maat. Most people who study Maat understand that this energy deals with love, sharing, order, and, of course, truth. Ra Un Nefer Amen, in The Tree of Life Meditation System, discusses Maat, at length, in terms of form and function, truth of premise, interdependence, and inter-relationships. This is weighty stuff, but I've been wading through it. It seems that understanding these concepts allows us to apply Maat in practical terms, but, and this is huge, we must be free of emotions in order to use this aspect of Maat.

Fear is one of those emotions that entices us to commit acts of desperation. If you are about to commit a desperate act, what will cause you to stop and think of whether or not the function of your action will fit the form you are trying to create? For that matter, what will cause you to stop and consider the consequences of your actions?

Well, one of the major benefits of the Tree of Life Meditation System is the opportunity of calmly considering the functions of your thoughts, feelings, and actions while weighing them against the forms you create. The importance of this is that we are given the tools to move our lives as creators rather than products or victims of someone else's creations.

Following is the Law of Maat (personalized from the words of Ra Un Nefer Amen found in Maat, the 11 Laws of God) and some of the insights I gained during my meditation.

Maat -- God needs me in order to come into the world. Fulfilling God's need is the highest act of love and only through my love for God can I fulfill my love for others. I become the love of God in the world for the protection of the world.

Since my objective has shifted from obtaining money that I want to resolving the fears that have blocked me from having already manifested the money, I was led, through meditation, to ask myself two questions:

• What premise (truth), form, and function do my fear serve?
• What premise (truth), form, and function will acquiring money serve?
The answers to these questions are helping me to place my fear, thoughts, feelings, and actions into a prioritized perspective, giving me the conscious choice of viewing my situation through the eyes of desperation or empowerment. Until next time, Hetep

Law of Tehuti

Hetep Everyone,

I forgot to give you the Law of Tehuti. Again, I've personalized it from that given by Ra Un Mefer Amen in Maat, the 11 Laws of God.Here it is:

Tehuti -- When all of my thoughts, feelings, and actions reflect the word of God, then the power of God's spirit and a peace that nothing can challenge will flow through my being.

Hetep
