Ancient Egyptians

After many years of careful analysis of the Ancient Egyptian religion including the pyramid texts, I am have come to a view regarding what they worshipped.    This view is persuasive rather than conclusive, and it is an evolving view.

Unlike modern day religions which worship supposed historic figures, the Ancient Egyptians appear to have engaged in a form of replication without historical reference.   To use a newage term, they appear to have been engaged in the ‘now’, or some would say the ‘present’.

This fits nicely with the idea of the pharaoh being the living Horus.   The pharaoh replicated Horus, not as an historical figure but as a continuing concept.

The pyramid texts tell the end of the story.  Not the ending as it will happen in our time/space, but what is happening within the galaxy as the large circle closes.

Circular Time and Predetermination


Yesterday I was asked by email if circular time has a relationship to predetermination.

I guess this is a tricky question.   Although it looks radical, my understanding of circular time is based as much on mathematics as on interpretation of ancient concepts.  

I could look at this issue this way.   Once the circle is commenced, its closing is inevitable.   As the value of the curve is determined, then the closing point can be determined.   Until a circle has commenced, there is no predetermination.    By definition, as soon as a circle is started, there is predetermination.   What will/has happened at the closing of the circle can be seen as the ‘now’, but only at the time the circle has begun.

I am proposing that our entire existence is circular – endless circles, each existing within a larger circle.   As each circle commences a glimpse of its ending is available.  

We think we exist within a linear timeframe.   I would suggest that our minds are conditioned to think of time as being linear making it difficult to grasp the concept of circular.

Circular Time – not Cycles – a matter of interpretation

Ancient Understanding of Circular Time versus Cycles. 

According to many writers, the ancients had an understanding of cycles, for example, the Yugas.  In fact the CPAK conference encourages study of precession and ancient knowledge.  

Could it be that the supposed ancient understanding of cycles was in reality an understanding of circular time?

Assertion

That the Mayan Calender is expressed in circular format is the basis for my assertion that we exist within circular time.  Most have interpreted the Mayan Calendar to be representative of cycles.  I do not accept this interpretation is correct.   Other ancient calendars were also expressed in circular format, suggesting at some time in our distance past, time was understood as being circular in nature.  

Using processes from financial auditing, I test the assertion that we exist within circular time, as distinct from experiencing cycles along a linear time line.

Relevance of Circular time versus Cycle.

A Circle begins and ends at the same point.   If we live within a time circle, then we are inevitably moving towards the point when the circle began.

The existence of a linear time line within the time circle is an illusion.   Whilst within the circle, movement around the circle has the illusion of moving in a linear direction, whereas in reality, movement is towards the beginning/end.  

A cycle assumes a linear time line, with the various cycles moving in and out of that linear line.  


If the Mayan calendar is indeed a circle, as I have asserted, then the ‘end times’ are not a prophecy.   When the time circle began, it would have been known when it would close.  

Disprove the Assertion

Unlike scientific methods, which seek to obtain evidence to prove a theory, financial auditing works in a type of reverse fashion.    An assertion is made, which is based upon a degree of factual reality, then the auditor seeks to disprove the assertion.   For example, an organisation asserts that it has a term deposit for $100,000.   Superficially it might look like the auditor attempts to prove the $100,000 exists.   In reality, the auditing process attempts to disprove the assertion that the $100,000 term deposits exists.  

As my experience is in financial auditing as distinct from the scientific process, on a continual basis, I test my theory of Circular time in an effort to disprove it.  

So far, I have not found anything to disprove the theory of circular time. 



Considerations

I have considered -

1.     Time space.   Science suggests that time/space is curved.   A curve suggests a connection with something circular in nature.  
2.      Ancient understandings.  The ancients had an understanding of circles/cycles.   It is unclear whether original ancient understanding was of time as circular or cyclical, although at some stage the two became one and the same.  Ancient calendars were depicted in circular format, which suggests an original understanding of circular time.   The Phaestos Disk is circular. The Mayan Calendar is circular.  The Egyptian calendar is circular.
3.      The Great Pyramid can be mathematically expressed as a circular pentagon.   The Mayan calendar also exists exactly within the pentagon. * [I have Greg Mitchells permission draw from his work on this issue].
4.      Some of Don Barone’s mathematical work, which seeks to prove that the three Giza Pyramids and the solar system are based upon the same mathematical blueprint, has Giza existing within a mathematical circle.     
5.      Our planets are spheres, which have the same shape as a circle – the sphere is 3 dimensional; the circle is 2 dimensional.
6.      The planets orbit the sun in a circular manner known as Ellipses, which are a closed curve.

7.      Consider the ancient symbol of the ouroborus, depicting  serpent or dragon eating its own tail.  Often interpreted as the end of one cycle and the beginning of another, the Ouroborus nevertheless creates a circle.   In my opinion, the ancients were quite clear in what they were trying to depict – a circle, not one cycle ending and another beginning.   Images of the Ouroborus, sometimes with two serpents swallowing each others tail, can be found throughout ancient societies and in alchemy.
8.      The Phaistos Disc (also spelled Phaistos Disk, Phaestos Disc) is a disk of fired clay from the Minoan palace of Phaistos on the Greek island of Crete, possibly dating to the middle or late Minoan Bronze Age (2nd millennium BC). It is about 15 cm (5.9 in) in diameter and covered on both sides with a spiral of stamped symbols. Its purpose and meaning, and even its original geographical place of manufacture, remain disputed, making it one of the most famous mysteries of archaeology. This unique object is now on display at the archaeological museum of Heraklion.   Most notably the disk was constructed in circular format.
9.      There are many other examples of ancient relics of symbolic importance to an ancient society, all expressed in circular format.  


Example of Circular versus Cyclical time.
If you have you seen the movie Prometheus, then this example might appeal to you.
In Prometheus, a linear time line is assumed.   The aliens came to our planet eons ago, leaving their DNA, to enable the creation of humans.   The movie plot revolved around the aliens returning to earth with a view to destroying what they had created.
However, we might get a different result if our existence is encompassed in a time circle.   If the creator began the circle at the exact time of the alien destructive visit, then we could have been created out of the alien DNA – not from a prior visit, but from the beginning and ending of the time circle at the exact point when the alien arrived.    
To summarise - one alien visit in circular time, two in a cycle.  

Conclusion
If the Mayan calendar represents circular time, then the ‘end times’ are not a prophecy of the future.  Rather the closing of the time circle represents the end and the beginning, which were always one.
