Music Producer said:In reading the rest of the Spells I began to get an overall view of the Egyptian perspective of the after life. They believed that they actually became the god, or they became a solder in the army of god in the fight against evil, or they lived an after life as a king or queen living in sanctimony bliss doing no work and could come and go between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead as they pleased.
This is about all I gleamed from the Egyptian Book of the Dead because there was no focus on one god or deity and anything about the gods or deities appeared flat because they are only references to larger stories and information. Without pre-knowledge of these stories or larger stories of information, the bits and peaces of the Egyptian book of the Dead have no correlation for the reader.
On my own final note, let me quote what has been written in the information provided concerning Ashby's version of the "Pert em Heru",
"The Pert em Heru is in every way comparable to the Indian Upanishads or the Theban Book of the Dead."
Brother I-khan raised a point concerning the validity of discussing and sharing information outside of the context of "Kemetic".
IF one views Asby's version as more credible that Budge's then what I sugggest examining how
THE PERT EM HERU IS COMPARABLE IN EVERY WAY to the Indian UPANISHADS and THEBAN "Book of the Dead"
Accomplishment of this task of course requires a thorough knowledge of the Pert em Heru, not as a RELIGION but as a "mystical tradition"...which of course means that one mustalso change the tendency to refer to this "mystical tradition" as MYTHOLOGY and that the Indian Vedic literature, particularly the Upanishads, also be treated with the same or COMPARABLE respect.
I have long begun upon this task which is why in the thread on African Cosmo-Genesis I asked regarding the "Indian" account of "ancient aircraft" (Vimanas)
