By using the conceptuality I already have within me and then applying it to the structural psychic processes whose figures in ancient Egypt were used to formulate them, I make those processes clearer in me as well. The state we experience when we are in the original whole and experience ourselves as at its center, which consists of nothing but is still present in everything, is something I find in Atum. He is constantly present through our inner double, early in life as the magical oneness our inner child is in as an aspect of Atum, his Ka, that we perceive in everything, everywhere by Heka. When we turn to Heka and seek the inner balance, the equanimity and truth it conveys to us, we find it in Maat. We find the psychic functionality of reflection and meditation united in them together. It is also through them that we experience our inner orphanhood and the emptiness that comes with it. Tefnut and Shu. But also our absolute physical belonging to nature and the earth, to Geb, and his relationship to the night sky, Nut, to this functional relationship to our inner primordial sea and its chaos, the inner psychic self-observation seen through the surrounding astronomical infinity of Nu. Together they lead us into the first time, Zep Tepi. Back to the origin of consciousness and the beginning and psychic growth in all there is. Here Ra appears in its place. We follow him in his cyclical path across the sky into the night to be swallowed by Nut, back down into the unknown underworld Duat for his encounter with the tearing forces we encounter there, with Apep, which we are forced to come to terms with and return from with new experiences, in a constantly recurring process we experience with him daily, annually, through all times here and now. That is what I see within myself when I look at ancient Egypt from the this perspective. The pyramids are the human-shaped equivalent of the inner awakening that was the mound that arose from the primeval waters, Nu. That mound, the Benben, which is our inner solid ground, and the legacy that this place within us timelessly carries forward in the psychic structure whose processes were formulated by people in their relationship to themselves and others in ancient Egypt. Formulated in stone with the night sky as its counterpart in a larger psychic composite whole.
Rest assured, I am not a scholar of Egyptology. I am simply applying what works for me by using their images for my own experiences and the psychic functions I believe I share with all humans in our self-reflection, and in our inner and outer cyclical processes in a single common context. Each of them has their own inner states and psychic experiences. But together they form patterns of energy, psychic energy whose forms formulate many different representations of the same origin however we choose to apply our experiences of them or use them together with others. It makes us aware of the psychological reality that make concepts out of our sensations. To expand on this a little bit further, based on what little experience I have with meditation techniques, I believe this state of the mind also corresponds to the state meditators perceive in the vusuddha chakra. But the bottom line is, they are elevated states of experience of the most primal and functional processes of the psyche, they serve us as references to the underlying structural elements of life, whose sources are conceptually formulated in terms that give voice to our portrayals of their objective but elusive psychic content.
