Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 21 -- Amen

Hetep Everyone,

Well, we've made it. We have reached the last day of the meditation system, Day 21. This day is dedicated to Amen -- Peace -- Hetep.

Understanding Amen means understanding that everything -- thoughts, feelings, and actions, spiritual, mental, and physical -- all comes from a source that has no form and it all must return to that source. Time and space are not necessarily involved in this process, meaning things can happen instantly or they can take some time. Many variables such as perception and keeping the universe in balanced order are involved.

Okay, that's a lot to try and understand. What it means is that we have much more power over what we perceive to be our reality than we can imagine in our present circumstances (existing as beings in this physical earth realm). If we learn to change our perception, thus, change our emotions, then we can change our reality.

Western thought has trained us to believe that this is impossible and, for most of us, experience as reiterated this. I especially include myself in this statement. This is precisely why I am excited about gaining strong motivation to cultivate the skill of Men Ab and waking meditations. I will be putting theory into practice.

Through other meditation cycles, I have already experienced a change in my reality in terms of how well I get along with my family. This has happened without developing Men Ab skills. What treasures await me with Men Ab skills, applied along with nightly mediumistic trance skills. This is the inter-relationship and interdependence of Heru (Coming By Day) and Auset (Nightly Meditation) -- Mother and Son, Madonna and child.

I have eight more days before the next new moon. Since I was very displeased with my performance within the last week, I will repeat those nightly meditations in preparation for the new moon objective.

I want to thank you for joining me in my journey. I hope that my story is helping you with your journey.

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

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 20 -- Ausar

Hetep Everyone,

There is one more day left in this meditation cycle. It's been an incredible journey. Since I am following the meditation cycle strictly from my own interpretation of Ra Un Nefer Amen's writings, I often wonder how much more effective I would be with an official instructor. Since I have never heard of an instructor in this area (Shreveport, LA, USA), I've set about teaching myself.

One of the best things, however, about teaching myself these meditation techniques is that I can set my own pace. This means that when I find, as I did in this cycle, that I have a blockage in my spirit that must be corrected before I can achieve my objective, I don't have to feel pressured or anxious.

One word about this. I used to be worried about time passing me by until I concluded that I have all of the time in the Universe. Time for me is limited only by my perception of it. I can choose to live as if there is no time only cycles of learning lessons throughout each life.

The reason I'm emphasizing this is because learning to resurrect Ausar is a growing processes, a cultivation. Why is resurrecting Ausar worth all of the trouble? For me, it is bringing order and balance to my life so that the energy of Ausar runs my life as perfectly as it does on the inside of my body, as steady as a heartbeat.

Since I have been following the meditation system, my life has steadily fallen into place. I feel much stronger and firmer about who I am and why I incarnated into this life. This cycle's meditation objective helped to strengthen my perspectives about money and helped me to grow in ways I had not imagined. I have brighter expectations of consciously experiencing Ausar as the source of my "prosperity and sustenance," as it says in the Metu Neter, vol. 1.

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

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 13 -- Sebek

Hetep Everyone,

Last night was my second night of the programming phase of the Tree of Life Meditation System. One thing I've learned about programming my spirit is that the affects sneak up on you. One day, you just find that what you want to do is distasteful. You clearly see that what you thought you had to do or die really wasn't all that important. It will be the simplest thing in the world not to do it.

This is something that I have had first hand experience with. What I have not had much experience with is taking action. I stated this in my posts at the beginning of this meditation cycle. I'm excited about seeing the opposite affects of the programming. Will it be for me the simplest thing in the world to do the things I've always wanted to do, but have been too anxious to attempt? Wow! This is some life-changing stuff.

The Sebek meditation, last night, involved programming affirmations (p. 222-227 Ra Un Nefer Amen's Tree of Life Meditation System) into my spirit and today, avoiding thinking and reading anything that was not urgent. For the most part, I did very well. My time mostly was occupied by family members who needed me. I slipped up by watching a TV program before I remembered that I wasn't supposed to watch it. However, I remembered most of the day to refer to the affirmations. I had already memorized several of the affirmations, but I found that I need to add one to my repertoire:

Tehuti: I am successful in handling the emotional and sensual challenges in my life because I realize that nothing has an emotional or sensual quality in itself. My emotional and sensual reactions are betrayals of my lack of spiritual cultivation in relation to these objects.

I avoided this affirmation initially because I didn't understand some of it and because I didn't want to admit failure in my spiritual cultivation. Now, I find it very freeing to admit completely that I am a work in progress when it comes to my spiritual cultivation.

The part of the affirmation that I did not understand was "that nothing has an emotional or sensual quality in itself." Now I know that it is our images, thoughts, beliefs, ideas, etc. that give meaning to things causing us to determine them as emotional or sensual and thus act on that interpretation.It's kind of like that testing question, "Is the glass half full or half empty?" We decide for ourselves because both answers are right. It's just that one answer fills you with excitement and anticipation while the other can lead to resentment over what has been lost.

The affirmation implies more, however. It makes the question of half full / half empty irrelevant. You don't have to interpret the meaning of the glass at all. What's more important is whether or not what is inside of the glass going to fit the form and function of your objective. If it doesn't, then leave it. If it does fit, then use it in good health. When you know your purpose, life, and, therefore, choices, becomes much more simple.

My purpose or objective is to pursue actions or invoke the Law of Attraction to gain the money I want and then to program my spirit to desire to take those actions in accordance with the Laws of Maat.

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

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 12 -- Auset

Hetep Everyone,

We have reached a turning point in the Tree Of Life Meditation cycle. Last night, I was supposed to tally up my Spiritual Quotient. An SQ is the score that tells you how much in alignment you are with the Divine energies of the Tree of Life. My scores are always so low that I've pretty much stopped counting them. Usually, I get something like 16 points. This is a vast improvement considering how long my score remained zero.

A score that shows enough improvement to talk about is around 109. This means that you have months of consistency at taking great care to cultivate your health, life force, and images and thoughts to support your journey toward becoming a Divine Being on earth. When you are able to pass the test of following all of the Laws of Maat simultaneously, then you are ready to proceed to the highest levels of spirituality, Godhood or Goddesshood on earth. Ra Un Nefer Amen, in his Tree of Life Meditation System , recommends only attempting to reach the level of Maat, suggesting that this is enough work to keep you busy for the rest of your life's incarnation. In essence, don't be in a hurry. It's the journey that counts -- persistence, not perfection.

So much for the Spiritual Quotient. The real business is reprogramming my Self. As I said in an earlier post, Auset, 9th Sphere on the Tree of Life, is the beginning of reprogramming. This part of the cycle consists of two meditations:

• First, reflection upon how I break the Law of Auset and meditating on genuine remorse for breaking the Law. This is important. Remorse is a deep sense of guilt. Without this guilt, called the Sorrows of Auset, there is no genuine desire to change.
• Second, establishing Ausar as the identification of my true indwelling Self. Ausar is the highest on the Tree of Life, second only to Amen. Ausar is the unifier of all reality. This is the energy, the Deity, the God that I seek to run my life instead of my limited ego self. It is at this point where I visualize my Self following the Law of Auset by consistently committing to nightly meditation. Funnily enough, I've never sought to program into my spirit actually committing to nightly meditation. I've always left it to my waking ego conscience, which explains why I've been so inconsistent. Duh!

Once we work our way back down to Amen, there will be another assessment period to see how the programming took. Usually, by that time, something in my life will have changed. It's always a surprise. I've learned that the Universe hardly ever works the way I think it will.

Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 11 -- Geb

Hetep Everyone,

Geb represents the last deity that we will look at to examine my objective of obtaining the money I want to manifest. Of course, we've already established that this meditation cycle has revealed my need to reexamine my images and beliefs that have blocked me from already having the money I want. Also, we have established that money is merely a symbol for the goods and services that I want, and, as such, I don't have to have money directly, but can manifest the goods and services that I want that money to but for me.

So, Let's look at Geb's role in manifesting my objectives. I'm going to focus on one aspect, physical reality.

Money, goods, and services represent the physical. All of the things in my life that exemplify lack represents the physical. In order for objects to exist in the physical, they must have a form in time and space. This includes thoughts, feelings, and actions. For the most part, we have been trained to believe that the physical has some sense of solidity to it. Even though thoughts change, while they are present, they seem real, holding form in time and space, identifiable by our five senses. This is one of the reasons we believe that the physical represents reality.

This belief that we think we know what reality is holds one of the greatest sources of frustrations for us because it is so limiting. This belief does not recognize our power to influence, to change reality. We get locked into our belief that the form we call reality is solid and immutable.

Geb is the complement to Amen, Sphere 0, meaning they are like opposites of the same coin or pedals on a bicycle. They work together. You can't have one without the other. Amen is peace -- happiness -- one without an equal. Amen is formlessness, a state of all possibilities and potentials. Amen is the highest in the hierarchy of the Tree of Life; Geb is the lowest. Formlessness is the highest; form is the lowest. When we believe that reality is solid and unchangeable, we are eating off of the lowest part of the Tree of Life.

It is my belief in the solidity of reality that is the source of my inability to manifest the money that I want. Intellectually, I know I am unlimited, but my thoughts, feelings, and actions prove otherwise.

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

Geb: I know that from heaven I came and to heaven I must return. I seek not enduring works on earth.

Insight: Programming myself to see through form and its illusion of solidity will be much more valuable to me than money, a mere symbol. Knowing, through experience, that I can influence the change of physical form means that I am not limited to money to get what I want. As long as my actions are guided by the Laws of Maat, my resources are limited only by my perceptions which I can cultivate to become unlimited.

We have reached the turning point of the meditation cycle, after I assess my standing with the energies of the deities, the next part of the cycle will be devoted to programming my subconscious mind to accept the changes that will align my spirit with that of the Universe so that I can manifest my objective.

Well, this is it for now. Until next time.

Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 10 -- Auset

Hetep Everyone,

I did not meditate last night. I wanted to confess this so that you could understand what I meant when I said in earlier posts that sometimes my performance during the meditation cycle is lousy. This assessment is a bit strong because I've done much, much worse. But my point is that this is about persistence, not perfection. Not meditating, however, doesn't mean that I didn't get any insights from my nightly ritual of meditation and sleep; it means that my insights did not come from a formal sit-down trance meditation.

Trance meditation is the territory of Auset. Trance meditation consists of changes in consciousness that we go through every day as well as formally sitting down and putting yourself in a calm state that causes you to feel as if you could float away if you wanted.

Everyday trances, according to Ra Un Nefer Amen's Tree of Life Meditation System, includes "daydreams, absorption, moments of absent mindedness, and emotional states." He goes on to point out that during these states of consciousness, as well as formal trance meditation, our minds are receptive to programming our reality. This means that whatever images, beliefs, and ideas that surround us (everything in our environment that we can identify, including our own thoughts, feelings, and actions) become even more entrenched and reinforced into what we believe to be our reality.

The entire point of the Tree of Life Meditation System is to program our thoughts, feelings, and actions with the experiential knowledge that we have the power to change our reality.

Auset, the 9th Sphere on the Tree of Life is the beginning of this programming. Sebek, the 8th Sphere (thoughts, ideas, beliefs), is the second step or tool of programming. Het-Heru, the 7th Sphere(images, joy), is the third and final step or tool.

As stated above, trance relaxes the mind so much that programming what we determine to be reality occurs. It may be difficult to accept "daydreams, absorption, moments of absent mindedness, and emotional states" as trance states in which programming our reality occurs, but think about how often the same images and thoughts repeatedly run through your mind, reinforcing emotions or intentions. Usually, this repetition builds until a result is produced. Perhaps the most common example would be how we provoke arguments. Since we quite often enter into "daydreams, absorption, moments of absent mindedness, and emotional states" without conscious effort, we usually don't see the roles we play in provoking arguments. It's "always" someone else's fault.

Formal trance, through the energies of Auset, means that we consciously program our intentions into our subconscious mind. This means also that we consciously use our power to change our reality to what we choose it to be, replacing hopelessness and despair with optimism and expectation.

If you have read some of my earlier posts, then you will know that I have suffered trauma in my childhood and imposed trauma upon myself during my adulthood; therefore, most of my meditation objectives have dealt with healing my psychological wounds and, as a byproduct, healing the physical wounds (illnesses) caused by my psychological wounds. These wounds took decades to manifest with a lot of situations in which I was forced or I forced myself to do things that went against my Being.

This is one of the main reasons why I prefer using the trance meditation of Auset to heal, but this meditation cycle has revealed to me that I MUST balance my trance meditation with Men Ab meditation. Since I'm trying to avoid copyright issues, I selected this picture of the Black Madonna and Child which is meant to represent its original source, Auset and Heru. Heru, the son of Auset, governs Men Ab meditation -- a waking meditation. This means that Heru governs our images and thoughts (Spheres 7 and 8 on the Tree of Life) while we are awake, watching them like a hawk. The nightly meditation (Auset's devotion to Ausar) conceives and nurtures the infant, Heru who becomes the hawk-headed man -- the waking meditation of the day. Consciously programming our reality begins with the mother, Auset.

This puts an entirely different spin on the Madonna and child concept.

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

Auset: I am prepared to sacrifice everything in order to become God's vessel on earth. In return, I will receive everything.

Insights: In order to survive the trauma of my life, I consciously chose to escape reality through images and thoughts, books, movies, television, intellectualism, etc. This is the area of my life where I discovered my freedom, but it was not a physical freedom. It was not even a psychological freedom, but it was a type of freedom that helped me to survive.

My efforts to tame and cultivate this mental freedom that I built for myself have been thwarted by a resistance that may by on the level of a death grip. Nevertheless, I must persist if I am to change my physical reality.

Well, this is it for now.
Until next time,

Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 9 -- Sebek

Hetep Everyone,

In addition to regulating images, Heru also regulates thoughts.Thoughts fall under the territory of Sebek. What we think on a daily basis helps to create the world around us. This can be positive or negative.

All right, let's get down to business. It's very late. I have been unsure of what I wanted to say so I put off posting to this blog. This means that I am faced with the same Heru problem that I have mentioned before -- I refuse to allow myself to perform the Men Ab meditation that can make me more efficient and able to meet my objectives. My thoughts always, in these situations, convince me that procrastinating is okay, at least while I'm procrastinating. This is the power of Sebek -- a trickster energy. Sebek governs my rationalizing and justifying which have nothing to do with ensuring that my thoughts, feelings, and actions are unified to meet the form and function of my objectives.

The other side of Sebek is that this energy can be used to program our thoughts to support the thoughts, feelings, and actions that do meet the form and function of my objectives.

The energy of Sebek is neutral. We can determine for ourselves how we want to use it. The problem is that this society is designed to perpetuate the rationalizing and justifying that blocks spiritual development.

Often, during times of procrastination, I forget why I want to pursue developing my spirituality. I get distracted. Fortunately, the meditation cycle can accommodate this through programming.

Okay, let me wrap this up by giving you the Law of Sebek (Personalized from the words of Ra Un Nefer Amen from his book Maat: The 11 Laws of God).

Sebek: It is not what I think nor what I affirm. It is who is thinking and affirming. Are you a human or a Divine being?

Insight: It is becoming clearer that my expectations (thoughts) help to determine my outcomes. For most of my life, my expectations have been mostly negative, leaving me with negative results. I'm very glad that I have the opportunity to change this.

Until next time,
Hetep

Tree of Life Meditation System -- Day 7 -- Heru

Hetep Everyone,

I'm a bit late with this posting. My meditation last night and review of Ra Un Nefer Amen's The Tree of Life Meditation System revealed that my daydreams are not consistent with my objectives. This is very important because thoughts, feelings, and actions should be one. This is a very weak point for me so much so that it may take another meditation cycle for me to correct. I will have to wait and see. In the mean time, I will keep pursuing my meditation.

Here is the Law of Heru. I've personalized it from the words of Ra Un Nefer Amen in his Maat: The 11 Laws of God:

Heru: I have the power, but not the right to ignore God's Law. I choose to follow the Law of God with the Love and Joy that grows from understanding so that the wisdom and power of God's spirit will flow through my being.

I'm extremely disappointed with the results of my day, concerning the Heru energy, but I am also happy to discover that I have been neglecting the way I monitor the images I accept into my life. Now, I can work to correct this problem. It will be more appropriate for me to discuss this on tomorrow because Het-Heru, the theme of tonight's meditation, deals specifically with images.

So, 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
