As a new Member of Somathread (thank you for the warm welcome ) , i would like to share with you a collection of PATTERNS ( info collected here and there :) ), if you'll allow me :
The Greek authors relate that the priests of Egypt had three ways of expressing their thoughts. "The first was clear and simple; the second, symbolic and figurative; the third, sacred and hieroglyphic. At their wish, the same work assumed a literal, a figurative or a transcendent meaning. This was the genius of their language. Heraclitus expressed the differences perfectly in designating them as speaking, signifying and concealing."
Considering Moses' education, there is no doubt that he wrote GeNesis in Egyptian hieroglyphs with three meanings.
Alchemically speaking : mercury, sulfur, and salt
History:
Mem is believed to derive from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water + Nun is believed to be derived from an Egyptian hieroglyph of a snake; Nun was the embodiment of the primordial waters, existing in the chaos preceding creation ( (in Arabic, nūn means large fish or whale)
******************************************
Truth: ( Mystery of Mem )
We can see the idea of life and death even more evidently in the Hebrew word for truth, eMet, which is made up of the first, middle and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet - Mem being the middle letter. In this word, Mem is the mediator between life and death, since the first two letters of the word spell em (mother - the beginning of life), and the last two letters spell met (death). Mem is the tie that figuratively mediates between the two and allows us to pass from life to death peacefully and vice versa. ( owL )
*one of the various spellings of the prophet of IsLam name is : MuheMet ( After 23 years of Prophet-hood Muhammad (p.b.u.h) passed away )
- K eMet Ancient Egypt is commonly referred to as 'km.t' , believed to be a reference to the black Nile Delta earth, as opposed to Deshret, the red barren desert land. The name Egypt was used accidentally by the Greeks after mistaking the Second name of the City of Thebes, "Aigyptos" for the country.

The food the soul eats on earth is that divine MaNNa that was rained down from heaven, but had to be scraped up off the earth, the perfect analogue of how mortals acquire their heavenly nutriment. The universal ancient tribal name for the divinity manifesting in the life of nature was MaNa, MaiNu, MaNitou.
Plato refers to divine obsession as a MaNia better than sober reason. An oMeN was a foresight of one's earthly fate. And the mystifying and baffling word ending prayers, aMeN .... . Memory in Latin is MeMiNi and the Greek Muse of Memory was MNemosyne

- phroNeMa is a transliteration of the Greek word φρόνημα, which has the meanings of "mind", "spirit", "thought", "purpose", "will", and can have either a positive meaning ("high spirit", "resolution", "pride") or a bad sense ("presumption", "arrogance").
- In the New Testament, the word is used four times in the Saint Paul's Letter to the Romans: twice with "τῆς σαρκός" (of the flesh) and twice with "τοῦ πνεύματος" (of the spirit): "for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit – life and peace; because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God ...and He who is searching the hearts hath known what [is] the MiN D of the Spirit" (Romans 8:6-7,27).
M and N, separate or conjoined, form the framework of hundreds of words relating to the condition of spirit-energy when immersed in matter
The title MeLissaios – or Bee-man, has a feminine counterpart in Mediterranean cultures called MeLissa, of which Hilda Ransome informs us; “The title Melissa, the Bee, is a very ancient one; it constantly occurs in Greek Myths, meaning sometimes a priestess, sometimes a NyMph.”
and also a word often used here : NaMaste : In Hinduism it means "I bow to the divine in you"
'aNaM' is the Gaelic word for Soul. Also means spirit, breath, life, psyche.
In Arabic the meaning of the name MaNar is: Light

§ Tommy McCook Band & Herbie Mann - My Girl §
The Sufis want to share, but they have to share with those who can profit from the sharing and can therefore continue the process of sharing with others to come. This requires the Sufis using their energy in 'teaching how to learn', before any sharing can take place. Sharing the sheer sensation of importance or of being a human being or even a servant of humanity, can be done by anyone, and is the sort of sharing that people are always straining towards. But the minimum human duty is to serve others: it is no great attainment. Feeling important is a vice, not a virtue, however concealed as participation in something noble.

Abstract
Despite the fact that the sun played such a prominent part in the religion and culture of Ancient Egypt it is surprising that there is virtually no mention of solar eclipses, which would not have been understood and so would have been terrifying. This paper discusses a class of inscriptions appearing on a number of artefacts from Deir el-Medina or nearby and also material from the Book of the Dead. In the past the inscriptions have traditionally been interpreted by researchers as referring to blindness, often of only a temporary nature, or of spiritual darkness and their co-incidence with the occurrence of Book of the Dead Spell 135 has not hitherto been noticed.
an interesting set of patterns concerning the solar eclipse 2017 :
Oregon is the first of 14 states that lie within the "path of totality" — 113 kilometers strip of land where observers can see a total solar eclipse. This path goes southeast across the country to South Carolina, where the total eclipse will finally go out to sea. About 12.2 million people live along this path, according to NASA officials,
and there is another pattern being discussed around the net :
September 23, 2017..... 09 23 which is 33 days following the eclipse
here is an excerpt :
"
Meade cites something called the "33 Convergence" as evidence. That's a string of coincidences involving the number 33.
"When the eclipse begins on August 21, the sunrise will be dark, just as Isaiah predicts," he said. "The Moon involved is called a black moon. These occur about every 33 months. In the Bible, the divine name of Elohim appears 33 times in Genesis.
"The eclipse will start in Lincoln Beach, Oregon – the 33rd state – and end on the 33rd degree of Charleston, South Carolina. Such a solar eclipse has not occurred since 1918, which is 99 years – or 33 times three."
That is a lot of the number 33. (September 23 is 33 days after the eclipse.) "

On September 23, 2017 the sun will be in the zodiac constellation Virgo — “a woman clothed with the sun”. The moon will be at the feet of Virgo — “with the moon under her feet”. The ‘nine’ stars of the zodiac constellation Leo, plus three planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars), will be at the head of Virgo — “on her head a crown of 12 stars”. The planet Jupiter will be in the center of Virgo, and, as the weeks pass after September 23, Jupiter will exit Virgo to the east, past her feet, so to speak — “She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth”. Jupiter is the largest of the planets, the “king” of the planets, so to speak — “She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod”

HeMiuNu (fl. 2570 BC) is believed to be the architect of the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt.[1][2] As vizier, Hemiunu was one the most important members of the court and responsible for all the royal works. His tomb lies close to Khufu's pyramid.
Native name Hm-ỉwnw
Priest of Iunu
Heliopolis is the latinized form of the Ptolemaic Greek name Hēlioúpolis (Ἡλιούπολις), meaning "City of the Sun"... Its native name was I͗wnw ("The Pillars" or Column), whose exact pronunciation is uncertain because ancient Egyptian recorded only consonantal values.
Heliopolis is specifically mentioned four times in the Bible: Genesis 41:45, 45:50
Hemiunu was a son of Prince Nefermaat and his wife Itet,[3] a grandson of Sneferu and relative of Khufu, the Old Kingdom pharaoh. Hemiunu had three sisters and many brothers.
In his tomb he is described as a hereditary prince, count, sealer of the king of Lower Egypt (jrj-pat HAtj-a xtmw-bjtj) and on a statue found in his serdab (and now located in Hildesheim), Hemiunu is given the titles: king's son of his body, chief justice and vizier, greatest of the five of the House of Thoth (sA nswt n XT=f tAjtj sAb TAtj wr djw pr-DHwtj)
Baboons giving the gift of language : Thoth overseeing a scribe's work
The House of Life was an ancient institution. The first appearance in writing of the term dates to the late Old Kingdom, when the requirements of a House of Life connected to a temple of MiN are mentioned in decrees of Pepi II.[10] Nowhere is there a description of the institution's functions, but these can be guessed at from many literary references throughout history and seem to have included the storing and production of books, and the teaching of scribes and priests.
The Late Period papyrus Salt 825, concerning which it has been suggested it could be entitled "Ritual of the House of Life", contains liturgical texts the purpose of which is the conservation of life.[30] It gives a description of the Houses of Life, where the sacred books, at that time referred to as Souls (bA.w) of Re, were kept.
The Papyrus of Nu, one of the Books of the Dead, begins with the words Book (mDA.t) of the comprehension of the words of the House of Life... Copying old books was one of the main raisons d'être of the House of Life. The so called Books of the Dead were since the New Kingdom among the most often reproduced pieces of writing.
Books of the Dead were found in the House of Life
The ancients said that the soul, when incarnated in the body on earth, was in its spiritual "death"

The Late Period papyrus Salt 825, concerning which it has been suggested it could be entitled "Ritual of the House of Life", contains liturgical texts the purpose of which is the conservation of life.[30] It gives a description of the Houses of Life, where the sacred books, at that time referred to as Souls (bA.w) of Re, were kept. [29] In the following translation Houses of Life is rendered as Mansions of Life. This description, although quite detailed, would have been of little use to a scholar in real life, trying to locate these repositories of knowledge:
pSalt 825
There are four mansions of life at Abydos, (each) is built four stories high and is internally waistcoated with palm wood. There are four mansions of life, Osiris is master thereof. The four houses are Isis, Nephthys, Seb and Nu. Isis is placed in one, Nephthys in another, Horus in one, Tahuti in another, at the four angles: Seb is above, Nu is below, The four outer walls are of stone. It has two stories, its foundation is sand, its exterior is jasper, one is placed to the South, another to the North, another to the West, another to the East. It is very hidden, unknown, invisible, nothing save the solar disk sees it. It escapes men that go there. The Sun's librarians, the Treasure Scribes are within.

§ Bill Withers - You got the stuff §
The literature of ancient Egypt is as rich and varied as any other culture. From the inscriptions of the Old Kingdom of Egypt (c. 2613-2181 BCE) through the Love Poems of the New Kingdom (c. 1570 - c. 1069 BCE) the Egyptian scribes produced a body of work which would influence some of the greatest works of other cultures, most notably the books by Hebrew scribes which would finally be included in the Bible. Literary forms of the short story, novel, ballad, prose-poem, hymn, incantation, biography, and autobiography were all explored through genres such as the ghost story, adventure story, love story, and didactic compositions intended to teach a clear and obvious message.
These didactic tales, also known as Wisdom Literature, reached their height of expression during the Middle Kingdom of Egypt (2040-1782 BCE), which is generally considered the pinnacle of Egyptian art and culture. They sometimes take the form of a father (a king) addressing his son as in The Instructions of King Amenhemat I for his son Senruset I. In other works, the plot unfolds from a narrator speaking in the first person to an audience (The Admonitions of Ipuwer) or a carefully constructed tale told in third-person narration (The Eloquent Peasant) or the Poimandres ( Peime-nte-rê meaning "Knowledge of Re" ). These are all quite serious literary works famous for their articulate presentation of the values of Egyptian culture, but there is another among them which combines solemn advice with comical exaggeration to make its point and is, in fact, the first example of literary satire: The Instruction of Dua-Khety - also known as The Satire of the Trades.
link to entire text
The brilliance of the piece is its use of the old Instruction form of Wisdom Literature to surprise and delight an audience while still providing, toward the end, what that audience would have expected from such a work. Any humor operates from the principle of surprise and The Satire of the Trades relies on this. When Dua-Khety first begins to speak, the audience would have expected a serious representation of the professions; not an exaggerated condemnation of them. There would have been many people who held these jobs in the audience where the satire would have been read, and those who could laugh at themselves must have laughed hard.
The Emerald Tablets of Thoth
§ The Prisoner - Main Title §
Tablet II: The Halls of aMeN ti
Deep in Earth's heart lie the Halls of Amenti,
far 'neath the islands of sunken Atlantis,
Halls of the Dead and halls of the living,
bathed in the fire of the infinite ALL.
Far in a past time, lost in the space time,
the Children of Light looked down on the world.
Seeing the children of men in their bondage,
bound by the force that came from beyond.
Knew they that only by freedom from bondage
could man ever rise from the Earth to the Sun.
Down they descended and created bodies,
taking the semblance of men as their own.
The Masters of everything said after their forming:
"We are they who were formed from the space-dust,
partaking of life from the infinite ALL;
living in the world as children of men,
like and yet unlike the children of men."
Then for a dwelling place, far 'neath the earth crust,
blasted great spaces they by their power,
spaces apart from the children of men.
Surrounded them by forces and power,
shielded from harm they the Halls of the Dead.
Side by side then, placed they other spaces,
filled them with Life and with Light from above.
Builded they then the Halls of Amenti,
that they might dwell eternally there,
living with life to eternity's end.
Thirty and two were there of the children,
sons of Lights who had come among men,
seeking to free from the bondage of darkness
those who were bound by the force from beyond.
Deep in the Halls of Life grew a flower, flaming,
expanding, driving backward the night.
He who by progress has grown from the darkness,
lifted himself from the night into light,
free is he made of the Halls of Amenti,
free of the Flower of Light and of Life.
Guided he then, by wisdom and knowledge,
passes from men, to the Master of Life.
There he may dwell as one with the Masters,
free from the bonds of the darkness of night.
Seated within the flower of radiance sit seven
Lords from the Space-Times above us,
helping and guiding through infinite Wisdom,
the pathway through time of the children of men.
Mighty and strange, they,
veiled with their power,
silent, all-knowing,
drawing the Life force,
different yet one with the
children of men.
Aye, different, and yet One
with the Children of Light.
Custodians and watchers of the force of man's bondage,
ready to loose when the light has been reached.
First and most mighty,
sits the Veiled Presence, Lord of Lords,
the infinite Nine,
over the other from each
the Lords of the Cycles;
Three, Four, Five, and Six, Seven, Eight,
each with his mission, each with his powers,
guiding, directing the destiny of man.
There sit they, mighty and potent,
free of all time and space.
Lovely verses.
