The Ennead of Creation

Whether the “neteru” (aspects of the Supreme Deity, named the “Atum” by the ancients) and their offspring were actually showing themselves to me as shape-shifting forms emerging from the rocky cliffs above the valley of the dead pharaohs of Egypt, or whether what I was seeing was an expression of my own mind moving in and out of different “frameworks” of consciousness, I knew it was happening because the gods had something to teach me. It was clear that what I would learn from them would be of incredible significance to my pursuit of the Secret Wisdom, disguised to the uninitiated, in the Egyptian fields of multidimensional reality.

Appearing to me there, almost leaping out from the immense sandstone precipice, the neteru of Egypt were saying: “To see us is to know us. To know us, is to know thyself.”

There, high above the incredible temple grounds of Hatshepsut, they were reiterating the timeworn message of the Eleusian mystery schools.

My exploration of the gods of ancient Egypt began with an attempt to unravel creation myths of our recorded history and beyond, wondering how they have all reflected into our contemporary experience the profound beliefs of former civilizations, such as those of the Khemitian tribes of Africa, and those of the mythical (or shall we say the yet “unproven”) cultures of Lemuria and Atlantis, which still float across the inner eye of forgotten memory.

Beyond my own awakening memories of Atlantis, I was eager to catch glimpses of this mystical land, woven through the time lines of the earliest Egyptian civilizations and, hopefully, to help to raise Atlantis from the deep sea burial grounds of our dormant collective memory, onto the steady ground of a far more distinctively “possible” reality.

From the native tribes of Alaska to the indigenous people of Zanzibar, every civilization on this planet is rooted in a primordial belief structure about how this world came into being: whether through religious texts, carved in stone, or carried through the oral tradition. Inevitably, the subconscious memory, reflecting back to us the Akashic Record of all experience (even our very species consciousness), holds the record of a cosmic sea—chaos—from which a mountain, primeval and without precedents, emerges.

I always marvel at the absolute incongruity of this universal description of a cosmic sea, described as “nothingness” from which Creation is born, as we unceasingly attempt to describe a beginning—a Big Bang—that triggered all that exists. For, what is a sea—from which all Creation is birthed? Isn’t the sea itself a manifestation of Creation … and a glorious one, at that?

How can we embrace the idea that a sea of nothingness, a void, existed before God, the Prime Creator? The idea of a state of nonexistence, to someone, like me, who believes that there are no beginnings and no endings to the Cosmos, is an utterly impossible concept to embrace.

It is no wonder why human beings, throughout written history and surely beyond, have struggled to come to terms with this existential enigma.

The ancient Egyptians bring us some of the earliest recorded contemplations of this baffling philosophical conundrum.
