Interesting. In what manner were these Gods chosen?

Peace Not very. Wow, such an answer, though correct, is blatantly myopic. HERU represents far more than that; such as the WILL governing the SPIRIT of MAN 2-wards spiritual ascension. OK, this is more or less true. WRONG. TEHUTI is not a LUNAR diety (mainly the NETERETU = GODDESSES served that position). TEHUTI is correspondent to JUPITER. LMAO.......This ties right back to the LUCIFER thread. This also doesn't say WHAT KHNUMU does, and WHY he does it. Again, myopic but true. Wow, thanks for telling us what the "FAYUM" is......  SOBEK serves as the faculty for greed and false ambition. OK, I guess this is acceptable. AMEN is not a "creator" in the traditional sense. No more so than all of the GODS and GODDESSES are "creators", though that may not be their specific function in the PA'UT NETER. True. OK. *SIGH* They just never get that right, do they? How's about the Essence of MOTHER NATURE? PEACE |

Peace Lord, that was a nice, quick breakdown! I think I am now seeing the left-mindedness of conventional Egyptology.  |

True indeed, CIVIL.
That ("EGYPTOLOGY") is the biggest enemy of of true knowledge of ancient cultures; not only of KEMET, but of related cultures as well.

Sam, as many different rankings and organizations as there are of the gods, do you really expect me to remember them regardless of what I have or haven't read? I'm curious as to how they arranged this particular group as there are plenty of other ways it could've been done.

How do you go about remembering movements that you practice within the various martial systems that you study? All things begin and end in the mind, afterall. Quite honestly, I'm rather curious about that as well, especially since in both SHETAUT and METU NETER, the GODS are completely out of order, and asynthetic. It seems that they are placed in a very haphazard order, which is not at all surprise, considering where this diagram came from in the first place. However, in this instance, I think that their individual meanings are more relevant here, than the order in which they appear. |

Its a greater part of your life.
I don't.
Its off topic, but since you brought it up, Ill explain. I know not a single form. I apply techniques not from basic memorization, but through one of two ways, those being reflex and innovation. When I say reflex, I mean that my reflexes have in a large part been rewired. Last time I was seriously angered, I threw a kick to my friends head. Last time I lost my cool going to the body I didn't aim for his head, but chambered a kick up to his chest. These weren;t conscious actions, but instant reflexes.
As for innovation, I devise new techniques during sparring. If the pace slows to th point where I have time to think, or a patter emerges, I'll come up with a completely new (to me) technique on the spot. That can
be seen on video if you wish.
Reason I say this is because several principle deities are left out. There are many varies presentations of the chief deities from Kemet and depending on whats being discussed, the starting lineup (for lack of a better term on my tounge) changes.

This is not in reference to the Tree of Life?... Or is it? |

Yes, in regards to the AUSARIAN (METU) and ANUNIAN (SHETAUT) versions of the PA'UT NETER.
