Heru pointing to the mouth is one of the oldest and most important motifs in Kamitan spirituality. It
relates to the concept of name and the concept of expansion in consciousness. The Ancient Egyptian word
Ren means “name.” The name is an essential attribute to the personification of a being. You cannot exist
without a name. Everything that comes into existence receives a name. The Divinity thereby brings
existence into being by “calling” its’ name, which produces a vibration in the ocean of time and space and
polarizes undifferentiated matter and causes it to take form as a physical object.49

The Indian term “Prajapati” gives further insight into the relationship between the mythos of the Indian
god Brahma and the Kamitan god Nefertem, the son of the god Ptah in Kamitan myth. Prajapati means
“Lord of Creatures,” i.e. the Creator.308 In one Indian mythical account Prajapati rises on a lotus, out of the
primeval waters.309 In the book Art – Culture of India and Egypt, the following observation is made in
reference to the Creation of human beings.
In Egyptian cosmogony, the Sun-God Ra, we are told, shed tears of creative rays, from
which all beings sprang into existence. In India, we have the counterpart of this myth in
Prajapati's creative tears from which all creatures are said to have come into being. In the
Chaos-Egg myth, Ra issues, like Brahma, from a golden egg.

Based on the surviving iconography from the Indus culture, the serpent was
revered as a sacred animal, apparently as a symbol of what in modern times has
come to be known as the “Serpent Power” or “Kundalini Yoga.” These images
are not part of the Vedic tradition. However, they re-emerge in Hindu
Iconography, such as in the image of Shiva surrounded by the bull and serpent
motifs and he sits in the characteristic “lotus” sitting posture. The “Lotus
Posture” relates not just to the posture, but to the idea of the divinity who is
presiding over creation in the form of the lotus, and therefore sits on the lotus of
creation as a king or queen sits on a throne. Therefore, the Hindu Brahma and
Shiva divinities who sit on the lotus or in the lotus posture, are compatible with
the divinity Nefertem of Ancient Egypt as he too sits on the lotus of creation.

the serpent wrapped around his neck

Like the goddess Hetheru, the goddess Durga also has an aspect called Kali,
which is her most destructive form. As Kali, she is most closely related to the Sekhmet form of Ancient
Egypt. In the ancient Kamitan mythology, Hetheru turned into Sekhmet in order to destroy the
unrighteous. Similarly, goddess Durga becomes Kali, and in the Devi Mahatmia story destroyed the
unrighteous.312
----
Plate 29: Above left- The Ancient Egyptian lioness aspect, Goddess Sekhmet the
“destroyer” in her shrine.

her shrine (above).
----
Plate 31: The Goddess Nut from Ancient Egypt (Tomb of Seti I), reverenced as the life
giving Cow. Right- The Cow of Egypt and India.
The cow is revered by the religions of Ancient Egypt and India due to is association with the goddess.
The Ancient Egyptian Goddess Nut is sometimes depicted as a cow, sometimes as the vast black sky, and
sometimes as both. In this aspect as mother Goddess, she gives birth to the gods and goddesses which
preside over and sustain Creation, as well as Creation itself. In her capacity as the cow she is an aspect of
the cow goddess Mehurt, who represents the “fullness” aspect of the Primeval Ocean of Creation. Many of
the Ancient Kamitan goddesses are often depicted with headdresses in the form of cow horns. The horns
on the goddesses headdress, especially Aset (Isis) and Hetheru (Hathor), Nut and Mehurt, are a symbolic
reference to the bovine (life-giving) nature of the female aspect of the Spirit. In Ancient Egypt goddess
Nut was also known as the “Great Cow who gave birth to the sun,” i.e. to the Creation and to the Divinity
who presides over it.

Above left: The Ancient Egyptian god Amun in his form as the blue divinity, meaning the deepest essence
of creation. The original blue color of Amun can still be seen by visitors of the Karnak temple in the city
of Luxor in Egypt. This deep blueness of Amun symbolizes his transcendental nature. Like Krishna of
India, Amun is also depicted as black. (See below-left)
At right: The god Krishna of India in his blue form as the deepest essence of Creation. Both of these
divinities (Amun and Krishna) as well as their alternate forms, Asar and Vishnu, are also known as being
swarthy. Vishnu is also known as shyam which means “The Black (or blue) complexioned One.” The use
in this symbolic fashion occurs primarily in Kamitan and Hindu mysticism.
----
In Hindu myth Lord Krishna is the incarnate avatar who is the defender of truth and
righteousness against the unrighteous tyrant, his own uncle. In Kamitan myth, Lord Heru is the incarnate
avatar who is the defender of truth and righteousness against the unrighteous tyrant, his own uncle.
Just as Lord Krishna was persecuted by his uncle, Kamsa, at birth, and rose to overcome this
unrighteousness through Dharma (righteousness) and Vibhuti (All-encompassing transcendental nature),
in the same manner, Lord Heru of Kamit was persecuted by his uncle, Set, at birth, and rose to overcome
this unrighteousness through Maat (righteousness), Ur-Uadjit (All-encompassing transcendental nature),
and a single-minded determination grounded firmly in the Higher Self, and not through violence, petitions
or anger.
----
In Kamitan (Egyptian) myth, the Goddess of Truth, Justice and Righteousness is MAAT. Her symbol is
the feather. Maat is an aspect of goddess Aset. Aset assumes the winged from as a swallow or a hawk. The
name “Aset” means “wisdom.” She also is known as “Urt-Hekau,” the “lady of words of power.” In the
Asarian Resurrection myth, goddess Aset outwits Set, who symbolizes egoism and vice. She gets him to
admit his wrongdoing without him realizing it. This philosophical teaching embedded in the myth relates
the power of wisdom to work in the unconscious mind to make a person speak truth in spite of themselves.
.....
In
several epics and parables of Hindu myth, Saraswati is the goddess of wisdom and order, righteous speech.
In the myths her power to “twist” the tongues of the unrighteous is legendary, as in the story of the demon
Kumbakarna in the Indian Ramayana myth.
----
Thus, both the Hetep Slab and Lingam-Yogi symbols of
Kamit and India, respectively, specifically refers to the union of the male and female principles within the
human heart, the opposites, and discovering the androgynous Supreme Spirit within.
----
The teaching of the lotus feet symbolizes the understanding that the Divine is the source itself
(Primeval Ocean) from which the lotus (creation) arises. Like Vishnu of India, the god Asar of Ancient
Egypt is also known as the lotus footed one, the source itself from which all life arises. Like Vishnu, Asar
is the “Lord of the Black” and from this blackness, the deepest darkness wherein no concepts apply, all
Creation arises. Therefore, the lotus which symbolizes Creation is seen rising up from his feet.

god Khonsu. B & C: The Ancient Egyptian Gods Djehuti (symbol of intellect) and
Khonsu (reflection of consciousness in time and space) with their Crescent Moon
symbolisms.
Figure 115: Right- D- The Hindu God Shiva with his symbol, the Crescent Moon,
(symbol of increasing wisdom).
The symbol of the crescent moon is of special importance to the Kamitans and the Hindus.
As a symbol of the reflection of the sun, the moon symbolizes the reflection of Divine Consciousness
which every human being can achieve as they turn towards the source of light, the Divine Self, as
symbolized by the sun. The moon does not produce its own luminescence. It depends on the sun. In the
same manner, the human mind, that is, human consciousness or soul, is not self-sustaining. It owes not
only its existence, but also its continued survival to the presence of the sun, i.e. the Spirit.
The crescent moon symbolizes waxing or increasing spiritual knowledge, increasing purity of intellect
and the development of intuitional wisdom. This is accomplished through all of the means available that
the sages have prescribed for the practice of the yogic disciplines: Devotion, Study of the wisdom
teachings, Right action and Meditation.
----
Both in Kamitan and Hindu myth, the tree is a life sustaining and enlightening
source. The tree goddess motif is fundamental in Ancient Egyptian iconography. It
symbolizes the goddess in general, but Nut and Hetheru in particular as the
compassionate, life-giving female divine essence. The goddess sustains as a mother
looking after her children, and when their time is up on earth she reaches down and
lifts them up to the heavens.
----
Figure 123: Left- The god Asar (Osiris) of Kamit
Asar is understood as the source of Creation itself. He is likened to a bull because a bull has
tremendous generative power. Here he is shown with his symbol, the Apis Bull.
The male divinity, symbolized as the bull, is fundamental in Ancient Egyptian iconography. In Ancient
Egypt bulls were held as sacred mascots in temples, oracles and incarnations of the divinity Asar.
Figure 124: Right- The God Shiva of India
Shiva is shown here with his important symbol, the bull, Nandi. Shiva is also known to have vast
generative power, and like Asar, he was mythologically castrated. Castration in mystical philosophy
symbolizes the limitation or control of the spirit in the sense that the power of the spirit is to be regulated
by the higher nature as opposed to the lower.
