The Secret Nature Of Thoth

The resonance between primordial divinity and self-consciousness shapes the contours of timeless reality in an effort to open a new perspective on the origins of one's existence.

Ibebi was silent. Silence settles between them, barely disturbed by the puff of breath. Then Ibebi said:

- Now, tell me what you know about the creation of the world according to the teaching in this temple of Thoth.

- Once again, I can only tell you what I read in the first book of Thoth, Cheops answered. In the beginning, everything was in Thoth, he was confused with the eight mysterious primordial divinities.

- Who were these mysterious gods? asked Ibebi.

- These gods were four, but they had in them the two aspects, male and female, only their union being creative. And these unintelligible beings were called Nun, its feminine form being Naunet. The second couple was Huh and Hauhet, the third, Kuk and Kauket, the fourth, Amon and Amaunet. That is why the creator god was able to say about himself: "I am One who becomes Two; I am Two who becomes Four; I am Four who becomes Eight"; they are the One who protects the Eight, for these divinities are but emanations of his nature.

In the idea that "I am One becoming Two, I am Two becoming Four", how do you perceive the relationship between symmetry and the expansion of self-consciousness in your view of the origin of reality?

- These Eight do not constitute the essence of Thoth, are they not connected to him very closely, so that he creates them from his own substance, that is, he makes them come out of him by the power of the word or, more precisely, by his will?

- So it seems. For Nun and Naunet are two aspects of the unorganized primordial world, of the chaos that, through union, will give birth to the organized world. But it is written that Huh and Hauhet are the waters, and I do not know what I must understand by that. Could it be the waters of the divine river that comes out of the womb and fertilizes the Earth?

- No, because only much later did the waters of the Earth and the waters of the sky come to life. You will learn their nature later. But keep going.

- Kuk and Kauket mean the infinite space immersed in darkness, before the creation of light.

Do you find that a repeating cycle of deities can be a visual landmark for understanding the ways reality folds on different levels of your own consciousness?

- Isn't it in this limitless space that the creation of the sensible world will take place?

- Of course.

- Because, without this space, nothing can have extension and everything is reduced to a tiny point. You do not believe?

Cheops agreed with a movement of his head. Then he asked:

- But I don't know what to say about Amon and Amaunet. Why is this divine couple hidden? If it is hidden, it cannot appear to our sight, and why, if it is, does it not manifest itself?

- This is precisely the part of the mystery, that which is hidden from the curiosity of mortals. He learns that all these aspects of the universe, which lie at the basis of its totality, are in Thoth, they constitute the secret nature of Thoth.

Your perspective on creation, seen through the lens of discovering divinity, influences how your visual perception takes shape and relevance in your consciousness.

The secret nature of Thoth is aimed at those aspects of the universe, which lie at the basis of the totality of a new understanding of oneself, which can transform you into a much richer spiritual man, able to concentrate greater power in his hands.

Have you ever thought that interpreting these emanations of the divine nature might reveal to you new kinds of exposure to the relationship between the finite and the infinite?
