The following was composed from trances, inferences, improvisation and meditative study. It is a gift from #Hathor my guide and deepest desire. Praise the Eyes of Ra!
Cosmology:
Thousands of millennia after the Great Dissolution began the Universe looked very different. Gravity was no more and all matter was decomposed and its energy dissipated across the endless black. The eight remaining Universal spirits silently reigned over the infinite darkness. Nanet and her brother Nun ruled the endless waters. Keket and her brother Kek were masters of the enveloping darkness. Amanet and her brother Amun were lords of the encompassing clouds. Hehet and her brother Heh dominated the incredible expanses known as Infinity.
These eight beings honored as the Infinites wandered the empty planes abandoned by time. Feeling their way, they eventually found their counterparts amongst the shadows. Nanet was bound to Kek as the Flooding Darkness. Keket shared the eternal night with Nun as the Burning Waters. Amanet shared her dominion with Heh as the Buried Infinity. Hehet was joined with Amun as the Neverending Obscurity.
Cold and silent they wandered until each pair, seeking solace in each other, simultaneously embraced in the abyss of night. With this act the eight were fused in a flash of forgotten light into Kheper the uncreated one, the New Rising Sun.
Kheper is the Sun Sphere and its Motion in one. A single but dual being. It finds itself in the midst of the Heavenly Waters, inexorably moving, creating the boundaries of the horizon. The Sphere is Ra the golden, and the Motion is the Eyes of Ra- a different fabulous goddess for each degree of intensity in the ceaseless movement. These two aspects are the static and dynamic principles.
The Eyes of Ra create waves in the Heavenly Waters as they undulate. The waves in their turn ramify and become the four natural elements reborn into the universe. Set is the Fire of passion. Osiris is the Earth of acceptance. Isis is the Water of healing and Horus is the Air of intelligence. The mists finally clear and the Season of Ma’at begins as the cycle of Evolution is once again commenced to be repeated forever and ever.
Man and the divine soon find each other and thrive. The famous priest builds a monumental temple. He is deified as Thoth, master of language and wisdom.
He finds eight baby baboons in a corner of the temple and raises them as his own. A tradition carried on generation after generation. His descendants reign over mankind. Kings and queens tremble at his word.
One day, in the temple, Thoth finds no fruit to feed the baboons, now fully grown. They tear him apart and devour him. They leave the temple together, four sets of siblings bound in pairs. Their power increases each day. They give each other names and kingdoms. The temple is soon buried and forgotten. Thus begins again the season of Isfet, the Great Dissolution.
