But I still don't see what these myths have to do with the gift of individuated self-awareness. Even if we assume that Set is the god who leads towards the Ka, that doesn't mean that the Ka is the same as the black flame, nor does it mean that he is the source of the Ka.
If you want to interpret the myths that way, then do so, but I wouldn't have seen that in them.
And what does the nightsky have to do with all this?
Please excuse me sometimes I forgett points which are logical to me because I thought they are logical for others to. I am Asperger Autist... Its a Bad habit, I think i try to kill it in the next turn of Xepher
The goddess of the Skys, Set's mother Nut has another Name that gives more clarity:
Chabas - Thousand(s of) stars are her soul....
When you look into
her soul, you are able to understand how
your soul looks like, how it works that one ability is stronger the other only instinctiv.
When you learn how your soul looks and how it "works" you can go into and begin to change, at first only a bit with the position you choose within. So that some "Stars" came near to the mortal existance and others go a little bit deeper into the soul. So you can choose what abilities you want to be present and what you not want to be shown.
When you have learned to change your life with only changing the position, you can begin to take place within the all and nothing, the Dark matter. You can begin to find what influences you but not be seen as clear as the stars. You collect, you feel, you let the unaware Dark Matter flown through you aware self.
When you reach this stadium, you are on a point with enormous creativity. You collect, you find and at the end of this step you are not able to write down, or Paint or... as fast as the ideas came into your mind. The problem of this stadium is, that your mortal parts are not able to deal with this amount of Energy for longer time. It can cause mental and or Physical illness.
Than you have reached the point of, end the flow of the Dark matter through your self and rekapitulate what you have found, to give it an Anchor in your aware existance. and than remanifest at the beginning of the path, to start a new turn.
Are you saying that in times past the gift of Set was not necessary for understanding the self?
There are other ways for understanding the self, many other ways found in the older times. My favorite is the Ritual of Königsberg 15-16 century. I have studied it and the keys you can find there, I use today for my path as I use knowledge about Egypt Mythologie
It has a sense why the Aeon of Set is know. Because since last century the humans go faster in the future than ever before, and at the same time we lost much more of our instinct and Intuition, because of an education which denies the existence of a higher self. They try to force us in a belief of science. only what can be seen is truth. the educational system of most countries try to make us t obedient sheep, only good for working, for making money, no time for other things... They do not want us to think, they do not want us to study the unaware... this is also artificial light they plant within our aware self to keep us from looking at our soul. That is why it is today harder to understand the self, to study our soul and our higher self. That is why we needed the Aeon of Set and his gift now and not in older times....
Again my opinion and my conviction
