FEATHER OF TRUTH, HEART OF TRUTH -- AFTERLIFE PREPARATION

In Egypt the afterlife is known as the Field of Reeds. In the Native tradition – The Blue Road of Spirit and in Hinduism – Nirvana; Heaven in the mainstream religions of today.

In Ancient Egypt the place of Eternal Rest was guarded by the Guardian of the Scales – Osiris and the god-man Anubis (Ra).

The afterlife had great significance then as it should now. The practice of weighing the heart on a scale with a feather against Ma’at (truth) determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the realm of the dead. Hermes was the Greek and modern spirit carrier or guide of souls. Thoth is also well known for this as well as Hermes Trismegistus.

If the soul was heavier than the feather, Amenti or Ammit – the lion-hippo-crocodile demon Goddess in DUAT, would devour the soul. There the soul would be restless forever. The second death could take place if Amenti threw it into the fiery lake.

If the soul was lighter than the feather, the soul would receive eternal immortality.

In the First Nations tradition the ‘Anubis’ dog would be a dog with grey or white fur. In Mohawk it is white fur and the Earth Mother Dendreah has a grey wolf and is the White Buffalo.

Beyond the cycle of reincarnation and samsara is the realm of pure bliss, white light, cosmic consciousness beyond the material world.

Ma’at stands for the truth, law, order, morality, justice. Ma’at and Thoth uphold the laws of The Creator.
