The Pharaoh's Journey

[Don Barone]

Hi all ...

It has long been wondered exactly what journey was being made by The Pharaohs in his boat as he journeyed across the sky. some or most think it is symbolic of the sun setting in the west and rising again in The East a symbol or death and rebirth. But why would a Pharaoh want to chase after something he surely would never catch? So therefore it is positioned that the voyage of The Pharaoh must be his attempt to chase after and be reborn and still others believe it is symbolic for the death and resurrection of The Pharaoh but I find this not quite right for isn't it the Ka which is the essence that lives afterward ? And isn't it portrayed as having wings ? So why then would a boat be needed?

And so we have to maybe take another look at what is being represented here and the only one that I have found that fits is that the boat represents a journey that The Pharaoh HAS ALREADY MADE here on Earth. And as a bit of food for thought I suggest that all along in Ancient Egypt the light and dark representing the not knowing and the knowing, ignorance and knowledge and I maintain when The Truth was found a Pharaoh could wear The Blue Crown of Egypt as a symbol of him achieving the end and the boat my friend it was purely symbolic as well for the boat pits are always in The East and that is where the journey ENDS not begins for after death it is the wings of the Ka that carries onward and so the real journey is from darkness toward the light. and the light is of course The Truth and the truth is that this is life on earth is but one journey on our path and The Ancient Egyptians understood this as no other race ever has.

Aw then one might ask ... what was The Ka ?

All things in good time ...

Cheers

Hi Don,

I think it was on Ma'at, I remarked that the "solar boat" beside the GP looked like Noah's Ark, with a cube as Noah's is depicted, so in this case the ark is the Sun and the animals in the Ark those of the Zodiac. Each time the Sun goes through one of the Houses there is a "flood" and a new age begins.

Things have to be interpreted, at least above so below, so our Earth is also an Ark which get's flooded and some survive as seed lives for a new race. As individuals we get flooded at certain times, would not you know, and the good qualities of our animal nature survive necessarely else we get washed out to sea with the bad.

As far as ages are concerned, the Egyptian Priests told Solon they have kept time for so long that the Sun rose twice where it now sets, ans set twice where it now rises. That would mean they kept time for over 100,000 years, or 4 times the great cycle of 25,920 years.

Socrates says the Soul, the Ba, depicted by the AE as a bird, takes wings and flies, the Ba, the Ka being the Spirit, depicted by the hieroglyph with upraised arms.

The AE have three crowns, Red, Blue, and White. The Red Crown symbolizes our base nature, the Blue Crown is the warrior crown, wich one puts on in the fight to unite and balance the Red with the the White Crown, lower and upper nature, and when Pharaoh the King triumphant becomes a god only "the White Crown of Divine Form" remains.
