Another reference to the source of evil occurs in Vol. I Chapter 19 (The Metutu), pg 266:
"The living of the knowledge of the essential and original unconditioned state of our spirit is a fundamental prerequisite for acheiving success in all of our undertakings. The realization of this goal is the ability to maintain a state of deep inner peace that cannot be upset by externals. This condition is called Hetep. Realization of this knowledge is the final goal of life.
Ignorance of the knowledge of our essential state leads to the identification with our conditioned reflexes and behavioral patterns. It is the fundamental cause of all failures and evil in the world."
Thanks again brother Kemetkind.
The key for me here is that "Realization of this knowlede is the final goal in life", not the knowledge of self-realization itself.
"In the Kamitic tradition, the cause of all evil is the sleep-like state, the darkness, that we live in during the earlier part of our spiritual life-the Sahu stage. We can only escape the evil by Becoming Awake. So that we can see not as in a dream, but clearly by the light of day."
vol 2, p. 101
It was reading this section dealing with the Sixth Sphere, Heru, which promted my initial question.
It is stated also that "The same doctrine is taught in the Upanishads , the compilation of the spiritual philosophy of the Dravidians of Hindu Kush."
"The last state is the Satvic which corresponds to the balanced energy that enables the full working of the highest states of spirituality."
What I find interesting in these passages is the reference to "spiritual philosophy", not religion.
Since I have mentioned before a similarity I find in reading the metu neter with Vedic literature, I also find it interesting the statement to the effect that "The same doctrine is taught in the Upanishads."
In all the discussions that I have had with folks here such as Isaiah, Kwabena, I-khan and sisters Cursed heart and River, I have spoken concerning health concerns with an awareness that I am "out of balance" in some areas, which is why I have gone back to practicing meditation in order to "wake me up" and open blockage in my root and heart centers.
Now let me dig deeper in what I know is a concern related to concerns raised by others. Simply put, if the "source of all evil" is INTERNAL, how then is the matter of white supremacy, and EXTERNAL factor, addressed?
I have been routinely criticized for my position concerning "race", "racism" and the "white devil". If the metu neter is correct, why spend so much energy focusining on "yt"?
It seems that even if we somehow defeated white supremacy, then we still have our own INTERNAL "demons" which must be exorcised.
