Metu Neter Vol. 1-Oracles


            On the most general level, oracles are means of communicating with spirituality agencies. On the highest level, such communications take place with the wisdom faculty (sphere 2 Tehuti) of the spirit, through waking trance. This is the skill possessed by prophets and sages. On the second highest level, communications take place with the same part of the spirit through the casting of lots. These “lots” are symbolic representations of the basic categories into which the entire span of reality can be divided. Other oracles are means of communicating with the other Deities, and lower spiritual agencies through mediumistic trance or the casting of lots. – Ra Un Nefer Amen’s Metu Neter Vol. 1.
The oracle or mentor is important to anyone trying to grow from one stage to another. It is also a difficult task to find a good mentor these days. Most of the people calling themselves leaders are so ordinary in their thinking. Of course we can turn to ancestors of greatness. Those of us in spiritually dead communities often have to do this. Today the attack on our souls is so sophisticated that just studying our ancestors is not enough. The Metu Neter Vol. 1 gives us the perfect solution, engage with principles themselves. It is perfect because it does not cost anything but time and space, and we all are already a part of time and space. It is the solution to all problems. If police are abusing you, communicate with justice. If a homeless person is smelling up your train or bus, communicate with empathy. If you are unemployed, communicate with creativity. If you are stuck in an unhappy situation, communicate with inquisitiveness. I could go on, but you get the picture.

Webster’s Dictionary-Revolution

Revolution – A sudden, radical, or complete change; a fundamental change in political organization. – Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary.

 
     Everyone is talking about the revolution in Egypt, but the Egyptians did not have a revolution, they had a rebellion. Their old president (Hosni Mubarak) was a military man who ruled for 30 years. He became too corrupt and ignored the masses of the Egyptians so much that they were suffering economic strife. So many of the unemployed educated people of Egypt protested and demanded that Mubarak leave his post. And who’s running Egypt now? The military. All the Egyptians did was replace one military man with another. The people are screaming democracy, but what they really want are jobs and less corruption, so if the new military man rules in a more fair way, he will reign for as many years as he is just. The people may try democracy until they find out that a democratic Egypt will leave them poor and at the bottom with the wealthy elite taking everything that they can just like in India, U.S. Mexico, etc.

Albert Einstein on Metaphysics

     It will now be clear what is meant if I make the following statement: by his clear critique Hume did not only advance philosophy in a decisive way but also – though through no fault of his – created a danger for philosophy in that, following his critique, a fateful “fear of metaphysics” arose which has come to be a malady of contemporary empiricistic philosophizing; this malady is the clouds, which thought it could neglect and dispense with what was given by the sense. – Alert Einstein’s Ideas and Opinions (Page 23, 24).

It is easy to say that Albert Einstein is correct about something. Today we are over reliant on our five senses. We live to satisfy materialistic impulses. If people cannot see, hear, taste, touch, or smell a thing – they will not believe in it. I often hear 300 pound people claim that they are starving when it is impossible for anyone carrying around that much body fat and be starving at the same time. I have had many conversations with college graduates that believe they are smart because they have a piece of paper which says the person completed a program of study, yet these graduates have little to no knowledge of what they studied. I watch people’s eyes glaze over when I tell them that a dollar is only worth 30 cents on a good day. Nine out of ten people have no understanding of the concepts behind our physical world.
