The Spirit of Resurrection in Coming forth by Day..

The Kemetyu (ancient Egyptian) people believed that every person was composed of several essential elements including the body, ba, and ka.

The body is the physical body and is unique to each individual. As a person gets older, so the body ages and changes - the Kemetyu people expressed the idea of growing up as a process of "making changes" - and death is the last change.

Each person also has a ba. Though the ba is also unique to each individual, it is not a physical entity. Ba is sometimes translated as "manifestation," and can be thought of as the sum total of all the non-physical things that make a person different from others. In this sense, ba is very similar to what we call "personality" or "character." In the afterlife, the ba is represented as a bird, often with a human head.

Each person also has what is called a ka, or life-force, and it is the ka which is the difference between being alive and being dead. Unlike the ba, the ka is not individual, but common to all living people and the gods: in the beginning, the creator made ka, and ka enters each person's body at birth. Like the ba, the ka is not a physical entity, though it has a definite physical connection. In the plural, ka means "sustenance," linking it to the idea of food. In fact, ancient Kemetyu would bring food to a dead person's tomb as an offering to his or her ka. But since the ka is not strictly physical, the food was not there to be literally eaten by the deceased or the deceased's ka, but it was the life-preserving force in the food that was being offered.

When a person dies, so the Kemetyu believed, the ba and ka become seperated from the body, though they do not die. In the New Kingdom period and after, the Kemetyu people effected this seperation through the Opening of the Mouth ritual, in which the ba and ka are released to go to the next world.

In the next world, or underworld, the goal is to live with ones ka. In order for this to happen, the ka needs to be summoned back to the body and recognize it. But since the body is bound in its wrappings, it must rely on its ba to seek out its ka. During the nightime, when the sun god, Ra, is said to visit the underworld, the ba may roam freely in the underworld, or to popular places in this world, but it's anchor in this world, where it must return when Ra leaves the underworld, is the body, because together they are part of the same whole being.

In seeking a union with the ka, the ba must overcome many potential dangers in the underworld. But if it does succeed, it will reunite with the ka and form what is called akh. The Kemetyu people believed that there are only three kinds of beings that inhabit the hereafter: the dead, the NETERU (Deities) and akhs. Akhs are those who have successfully made the transition to new life in the next world, where they live with the gods. The dead are those who have failed to make the transition. It is said that they have "died again," with no hope of renewed life. This is known as the "Second Death" in the Book of Revelations..

Colossal hurricane-like storm seen on Saturn.. SEKHMET's Eye

Colossal hurricane-like storm seen on Saturn... the Eye of SEKHMET

Thu Nov 9, 5:32 PM ET



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A colossal, swirling storm with a well-developed eye is churning at Saturn's south pole, the first time a truly hurricane-like storm has been detected on a planet other than Earth, NASA images showed on Thursday.

The storm on the giant, ringed planet is about 5,000 miles

wide, measuring roughly two thirds the diameter of Earth, with winds howling clockwise at 350 mph (550 kph).

Jupiter's Great Red Spot, which swirls counterclockwise, is far bigger, but is less like a hurricane because it lacks the typical eye and eye wall.

The images -- essentially a 14-frame movie -- were captured over a period of three hours on October 11 by the U.S. space agency's Cassini spacecraft as it passed about 210,000 miles

from the planet as part of its exploration of Saturn and its moons.

Michael Flasar, an astrophysicist involved in the mission at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said the storm looks just like water swirling down the drain in a bath tub, only on a gigantic scale.

"We've never seen anything like this before," Flasar said in an interview. "It's a spectacular-looking storm."

Saturn, the second-biggest planet in the solar system with an equatorial diameter of 74,000 miles and the sixth from the sun, is about 746 million miles from Earth.

Its south pole storm is much bigger than Earth hurricanes. It has a well-developed eye ringed by towering clouds that soar 20-45 miles above those in the dark center, two to five times higher than clouds in our thunderstorms and hurricanes, NASA said.

A distinguishing feature of hurricanes on Earth are the eye-wall clouds that form when moist air flows inward across an ocean surface, rising vertically and releasing a heavy rain around a circular region of descending air that represents the eye. Scientists said it was unclear whether Saturn's storm was a water-driven system.

It differs from Earth hurricanes in part because it remains stuck at the pole rather than drifting as such storms do on this planet and because it did not form over a liquid water ocean, with Saturn being a gaseous planet, NASA said.

"It looks like a hurricane, but it doesn't behave like a hurricane," Andrew Ingersoll, a member of Cassini's imaging team at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, said in a statement. "Whatever it is, we're going to focus on the eye of this storm and find out why it's there."

Flasar said scientists have more work ahead to understand the Saturn storm.

"I'm hoping that as we puzzle over it, it will become even more exciting as we start to connect the dots in our brains. But right now, the wheels are a little creaky," Flasar said. "We're all arguing with each other about what it might or might not be."

Fusion...

Tibetan Yab-Yum is Erotic Art depicting ancient Tau relics and sculptures of male and female DEITIES locked in sexual embrace. Here the motif is to be understood as a visual symbol of how enlightenment is obtained through HERU consciousness (the union of the Divine Feminine/Mother and Divine Masculine/Father within us) as well as THEIR attributes of wisdom and compassion. The embrace of the Deities is a visual metaphor for the rapture of THEIR union.

The intrinsic message of this dualism (or twin soul) is that the illusory perception of independent existence and origination is the source of egoism, ignorance, and suffering. On the other hand HERU or Higher consciousness (inner union) transcends polarity and leads to bliss. This is the non-polarized state, the recognition of indivisible, indestructible Truth or enlightenment.

In the ancient cosmology of the Nile Valley civilization the GODDESS and GOD were inseparable and one was not superior to another. THEY were (are) complements and both are indispensable aspects of our divinity"

Death Plunge

Death Plunge

Comet Plunges into the Sun Nov. 5, 2006!

www.spaceweather.com/index.cgi

DEATH PLUNGE: Yesterday, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) caught a comet plunging toward the sun. It went in--but not out again. The sungrazing comet disintegrated like an ice cube in an oven.

A Story of GODDESS NEITH... GODDESS of Comets

Death Plunge, a young mortal wombman who was not very beautiful(as she believed this to be her curse) lived during the reign of the GODDESS NEITH reigned, and incarnations of the GODDESS’s beauty were highly praised, and those who wore it were sought after and cherished.

Now Death Plunge was, for all her plainness, not bitter as one would expect, but yet kind, and good. So when one day she walked, alone, to the stream that grew most fragrant herbs on its banks, the GOD Narcissus saw her from his heavenly post and came down to earth.
Now, this I tell you true--Narcissus was not always as he is portrayed in modern myth. Once he did not love only himself. Once he loved another. This is also his story.

He saw Death Plunge and was intrigued by her simple manner, for though NEITH reigned supreme, HER followers were oftimes aloof in their perceived glory. Death Plunge, needless to say, was not, for how could she be? She hoped for but one thing--love. And though she knew this world had no place for one such as her, still she hoped. Remember that, dear ones...

Narcissus watched her for a while, and then impulsively revealed HIS presence to her. She was startled, but not afraid, as some would be. Curious, HE asked her why she was there alone, and not in the city celebrating the festival of NEITH. Death Plunge answered him thus: "Good sir, I am not one to align myself with the great GODDESS, for I am far beneath HER, and thus not fit to worship HER.” Whereupon Narcissus, having taken human form, told her of his godhood, and pledged his love for her. And the maiden..Death Plunge wept...

Not because she was happy, though, dear ones, oh no. She knew that as she was, she was no match for a GOD, even as she reveled in his love. So Death Plunge devised a plan, and made Narcissus agree to meet her at the stream the next day. She did not tell HIM of this, but she would fain seek the great GODDESS, and beg HER help. To the temple of NEITH she stole in utter darkness, with not a star to light her way. Alone there, she dropped to her knees, and fervently prayed to the GODDESS. NEITH, in HER splendoured court, took pity on the girl, and granted Death Plunge her heart's desperate plea.

And so Narcissus, when HE saw Death Plunge the next day, was confused, and then relieved; for though HE would have loved her as herself, now it would be simpler, as she was truly his equal. Death Plunge's beauty now rivaled that of any wombman within countless leagues, but her humble manner remained. Now, she knew, she was fit for the love of a GOD. Narcissus announced their union right then to all the heavens. And NEITH heard.

Curious, the great GODDESS came down to see who had besotted Narcissus so. When she knew that it was Death Plunge, who in her combined beauty and goodness shone as brightly as the GODDESS HERSELF, she became jealous--and vengeful. This mere woman, whom NEITH had thought was in love with a goat-herd or some such other insignificant mortal, had stolen the heart of a GOD, and NEITH would not stand for it. In a rage, SHE cursed them well, so that none would ever forget...

Narcissus, who was held enraptured in Death Plunge's gaze, she made to love another, the one who stared back at him from the stream. And that is how Narcissus came to be remembered, forever after in love with own reflection..

And Death Plunge? NEITH made her to travel the cosmos, searching for her lost love for all eternity. But though NEITH in HER jealousy stripped Death Plunge of her given beauty, in the night sky her goodness and love shine through, and dull the stars in her passing. This I tell you true.

And what of the other stories, you say? No, they are not the complete truth, as I have told you now. How do I know, you say? Because, dear ones— A Comet Plunged into the Sun....

A comet made a death plunge into the Sun on Friday, disintegrating as its icy chemicals vaporized on the way in.

An animation showing the comet's plunge was made with images from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).


All comets orbit the Sun, and most do so on elongated paths that can pass through the inner solar system before winging out well beyond Pluto. Solar radiation heats a comet and burns off some of the ice and dust that it is made of, creating a cloud of material and sometimes a tail. The dust and gas scatter sunlight, making the comet bright.


Those comets that come very close to the Sun are called sungrazers.


A few get too close.


SOHO images have been used to discover more than 1,000 comets, and the craft has identified many comets in their dramatic final hours before being swallowed by the Sun.


Other comets discovered without SOHO, such as one named Kudo-Fujikawa, have at times been watched in real time by web surfers as they dramatically sliced across SOHO's field of view. In 2003, a comet named NEAT, whose path in front of the SOHO cameras was well predicted, was smacked by a solar storm, the first such event ever recorded.

Mercury.. retrograde AND transiting the sun... INTENSITY!

NOVEMBER 8, WEDNESDAY:

Retrograde Mercury (17 Scorpio) is still within the Scales (see Nov 14) and is squaring Neptune (17 Aquarius). Mars (11 Scorpio) is trining retrograde Uranus (11 Pisces). And retrograde Mercury is transiting over the face of the Sun, while the Moon moves into Cancer in direct alignment with the Galactic Edge where the Milky Way and the Ecliptic intersect…all happening while we are still within the cross-quarter portal that was exact yesterday.

Mercury is making direct contact with the Sun or Source from our Earth-based perspective in an area of the sky that is linked with the gateway to Tula (See Nov 14). As Above, So Below indicates that we also have the ability to make a direct connection with Source with greater ease than usual or what we normally consider.

It is up to us to receive the magical energies now available to us when we are open to receive them directly from Source. The Mayan Oracle agrees saying…”Step into empowerment. When you align with what gives you joy, expressing your beauty and power, your energy naturally expands to include more of who you are. Nothing and no one outside yourself can give you real power. Empower yourself by directly addressing the situation at hand. Act with integrity and magical outcomes will naturally blossom.”

Sun to be overshadowed by Mercury today

By Dana DeFever

November 08, 2006

Mercury is passing directly in front of the sun today.

The transit will begin at

2:12 p.m., and it will last for almost five hours.

“Well it’s a pretty rare event,” said Glen Williams, physics professor. “Last time it happened was in 2003.”

Williams said this will be the first time he’ll get to see Mercury’s transit because it wasn’t visible in North America three years ago.

There are 13 transits every century. It doesn’t occur every revolution because Mercury’s orbit has a tilt to it.

“Only when you have the (Mercury’s) orbit aligned with the Earth’s orbit,” said Wayne Osborn, interim vice provost and physics professor.

The next time people will see Mercury’s transit will be May 9, 2016.

“Mercury is such a small planet,” Osborn said. “Not the kind of thing like a solar eclipse.”

The transit will look like a small black dot moving along the surface of the sun, Osborn said.

Mercury will either be grazing along the sun or in the middle of it, he said, depending on where a person is located when viewing.

People located in North and South America, Hawaii, Australia and along the Pacific Rim will get the best view, officials said.

“Your eye would not be able to see Mercury in front,” Williams said. “You’re going to need a telescope to see it.”

Those interested in seeing the transit on campus can view it from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Brooks Astronomical Observatory.

Williams said it is unsafe to look directly into the sun. The telescope will have a sun filter, so it won’t be dangerous to view.
