JOSEPH AND HIS BROTHERS

Thomas Mann 1875-1955

Page 935

"Come nearer, my friend," he said, as the bee studded curtain closed behind them, "pray come close to me, dear Khabiru from the Retenu, fear not, nor startle in your step, come quite close to me! This is the mother of god, Tiy, who lives a million years. And I am Pharaoh. But think no more of that, lest it make you fearful. Pharaoh is God and Man, but sets as much store by the second as the first, yes he rejoices, sometimes his rejoicing amounts to defiance and scorn that he is a man like all men, seen from one side; he rejoices to snap his fingers at those sour faces who would have him bear himself uniformly as God

CHAPTER XI
ONE:-EYE, TWO-EYES, AND THREE-EYES

"Language has been called by Jean Paul' a dictionary of faded metaphors': so it is, and it is the duty of the etymologist to try to restore them to their original brightness."-MAX MULLER.
THE window of the house of Wisdom (ante, p. 255, fig. 594) was constructed of five perfect circles, and these five circles were the Mayan and Egyptian symbol for" daylight and
. splendour.''! Ih the school of PYTHAGORAS five typified Light; 2 among the Greeks it was the number sacred to APOLLO, and among modern Freemasons it stands for the Five Virtues or Points of Fellowship. The simple practice of these Five precepts constituted, I have little doubt, the mysterious potencies of Solomon's five-pointed Seal. The Five virtues were sometimes symbolised separately and sometimes, as in fig. 637, they constitute an ornament of grace and splendour..
Occasionally four circles are linked to a fifth and larger central one, thus constituting an illustration of the words of Wisdom: "I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and holy hope.3
The two children associated with WISDOM, the Water Mother, in fig. 500 (ante, p. 234) are respectively distinguished / Page 268 / by the heart of Love and the Book of Knowledge; Hope is also expressed by the Anchor, and Fear by the Scales of Justice."

"In figure 658 children of Wisdom appear as eyes and nostrils. In fig. 659 the eyes have deliberately been placed in juxtaposition, and when drawn as perfect circles there is little doubt that they symbolised the regenerate eyes of Perfect Love and Perfect Wisdom.
The Egyptians imagined the Deity as possessed of two eyes, the Sun ana the Moon; and these th~y termed the eyes of the North and South or the eye of HORUS=Light, and the eye of SUT=Darkness. They believed that the regenerate man would have this dual sight bestowed as a Gift from. the Gods, and that eventually" two eyes are given to him and he becomes glorious therewith." 1
In fig. 660 these symbolic eyes are associated with the star of Light, and in fig. 66 I they form its northern and its southern points. In fig. 663 the twin circles have been combined with the three light-rays, and in fig. 664­these three rays are flowing from the mouth of a Bull. The Supreme Spirit .was very widely represented as being bearded. The Assyrian SIN, the Illuminator, the God of Light and Wisdom, the" Heifer of ANU," 2 has a long flowing beard the colour of lapis lazuli,'3 and this blue beard was in all probability a symbol of outpouring, descending Truth!
In fig. 662 the symbolic light flowing from the mouth is expressed by a design combining the T cross, the Latin cross, the Triangle, and the Crescent Moon.
In fig. 666 the circle of the Perfect and Eternal ONE has / Page 273 / been made to do duty as a mouth, and in fig. 67 this mouth has been significantly misplaced"

Page 272 Notes

See Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man, Churchward, pp. 201, 202, 330, 345.
2 ANU was also the name of a Gaelic goddess of prosperity and abundance.
3 Religion of Babylonia and Assyria, Jastrow, p. 76. 4 The amenities of Theology seem always to demand that the Gods of one's neighbour should be regarded as Demons. Our term Devil is cognate with devel, the Gypsy for God; "Ogre" was originally a Northern Deity, and - tbe" Bluebeard" of fairy-tale is probably a perversion of blue-bearded SIN

"The Stag was not /Page 274 / only a symbol of Solitary Purity, but its branching antlers were likened to the rays of the rising Sun, and the Stag thus becomes a Solar emblem. The mouth was regarded as a well or fountain, and it is proverbial that" the mouth of a righteous man is a well of life." 1 Fig. 666 will thus denote what MATTHEW ARNOLD termed the" lonely pure­ness of the all-pure Fount."

" If, in the silent mind of One all-pure
At first imagin'd lay
The sacred world; and by procession sure
From those still deeps, in form and colour drest,

Seasons alternating, and night and day,
The long-mused thought to north, south, east, and west
Took then its all-seen way:
0 waking on a world which thus-wise springs!
Whether it needs the count'
Betwixt thy waking and th~ birth of things
Ages or hours: 0 waking on Life's stream!
By lonely pureness to the all-pure Fount
'(Only by this thou canst) the colour'd dream
Of Life remount.
Thin, thin the pleasant human noises grow,
~ And faint the city gleams;
Rare the lone pastoral huts: marvel not thou!

The solemn peaks but to the stars are known,

But to the stars, and the cold lunar beams:

Alone the sun arises and alone
Spring the great streams."

" Greek myth attributes three eyes to JUPITER;

Page 274

"In Italy there is a version of Cinderella called Mona Catarina, i.e. "the lone Pure one," and in some localities the story of Cinderella is told under the' title" One-Eye,
Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes." The fact' that CINDERELLA / Page 275 / appears as the" Two-Eyes" of this version supports the suggestion that WISDOM was regarded as the equipoise of Love and Knowledge. Sometimes the Gods were described as having Three Eyes; the Third Eye representing that mysterious faculty we call Intuition, or what the ancient poets termed the" inner eye of Reason." Greek myth attributes three eyes to JUPITER; sometimes three eyes were assigned to THOR, and three-eyed characters in folk-lore are not uncommon.
The authors of The Perfect Way state that in the symbolism of the face the two eyes denote respectively Intelligence and Love/ and it is probable that right and left eye had each its own proper significance. ZECHARIAH
fulminating against contemporary priestcraft exclaims: " Woe to the idle shepherd that leaveth the flock! . . . his right eye shall be utterly darkened," 2 and the still prevalent expres­/ Page 276 / sion "one eyed" has in all probability, descended from an immemorial past."

 

Notes to Page275

1 "As man, made in the' image' of Adonai, is the expression of God, so is the expression or countenance of man the express image of God's nature, and bears in its features the impress of the celestial, showing him to be thence derived. Thus, in the human face, by the straight, central, protruding, and vertical line of the organ of respiration, is denoted Individuality,. the divine Ego, the I AM, of the man. Though single exteriorly and constituting one organ in token of the Divine Unity, within it is dual, having a double function, and two nostrils in which resides the power of the Breath or Spirit, and which represent the Divine Duality. The duality finds its especial symbolisation in the two spheres of the eyes, which, placed on a level with the summit of the nose, denote, respectively, Intelligence and Love, or Father and Mother, as the supreme elements of Being. Though exteriorly two, interiorly they are one, as vision is one. And of the harmonious co­operation of the two personalities represented by them, proceeds, as child, a third personality, which is their joint expression or 'Word.' Of this the Mouth is at once the organ and symbol, being in itself Dual-when closed a line, when open a circle; and also twofold, being compounded of line and circle in the tongue and lips. And as the place of issue of the creative breath, it is below the other features, since creation, in coming from the Highest, is in its direction necessarily downwards. Thus, in the countenance of the 'Image of God,' is expressed the nature of God-even the Holy Trinity. For' these three are one,' being essential modes of the Same
Being."-P.205. ' 2 xi. 17."

"According to the authors of The Perfect Way, the words IS and ISH originally meant Light, and the name ISIS, once ISH-ISH, was Egyptian for Light-Light.l Those who were ( 1 P. Ill) / Page 279 / initiated into the mysteries of ISIS were known as ISSA,1 and the legendary "ISSEDONES," who were said to have been evicted from their country by the ever-encroaching, one-eyed Arimaspians, may probably be identified as the enlightened followers of ORMUZ, the Lord of Light and adversary of AHRIMAN,2 the Prince of Darkness.
There is a Northern tale of "Old Harry" that bears a remarkable resemblance to the Greek legend of ULYSSES and POLYPHEMUS. The Devil noticing a man moulding buttons, asks what he may be doing, and when answered that he is moulding eyes, asks him further whether he can furnish him with a new pair. The workman undertakes to do
so, but instead of furnishing new eyes (( IssI," as he terms.
himself, pours into the sockets a deadly stream of molten lead, and the frenzied Devil rushes away, exclaiming: " ISSI did it, ISSI did it." The word ISSI being ambiguous, meaning also "himself," the neighbours, instead of sympathising with the outwitted Devil, jeeringly bid him lie on the bed he has (( himself" made;3
The syllables ISSE occur in the name ULYSSES, and again in its equivalent ODYSSEUS. According to Greek legend, ULYSSES, when asked his name by POLYPHEMUS, answered wilily: "My name is NOMAN." Subsequently ULYSSES,
with four select friends, heated the end.of a stake until it glowed like a living coal; then, poising it over the giant's solitary eye, buried it deeply in the socket. The neighbouring Cyclops disturbed by the monstrous bellowing of POLYPHEMUS flocked from their surrounding caves and inquired what grievous hurt had caused him to sound such a horrible alarm and break their slumbers. He replied:/ Page 280 / " O friends I die, and NOMAN gives me the blow." They answered "If no man hurts thee, it is the stroke of JOVE, and thou must bear it." So saying, they left him groaning. On the following morning ULYSSES, safe from the clutches of the giant, shouted in derision: "Cyclops! the Gods have well requited thee for thy atrocious deeds. Know it is ULYSSES to whom thou owest thy shameful loss of sight." .
The Tartars have a story of a one-eyed, man-eating giant, and the hero BISSAT, as usual, burns out the monster's eye with a red-hot knife. 1.
Celtic legend relates that a certain hero named LUGH blinded a cone-eyed giant 2 by means of a red-hot iron, and this name LUGH is always equated with LLEU, the Welsh word for Light.3
The ambiguous ISSI, YSSE, ISSE, or lSSA is related to ESSE, the Latin verb "to be," and from esse is derived the word ESSENCE, a philosophic and poetic synonym for the Soul or " Light within."
It would thus appear probable that the Odyssey is to some extent an allegory of the Soul, and that ODYSSEUS, the wanderer, is truly NOMAN, no historic personage, but, like Cinderella, a personification of the soul, the spark, the "God within," or "Dweller in the Innermost." The word-play upon ISSI, "the Light," and ISSI, "himself," is comparable to Cinderella's amazed awakening to the fact' that the glory of her dazing radiance is " herself."
The syllables ISSE or ISHI appear to have anciently meant Light in many directions. We meet them in NYSSA, the name of the nymph who was said to be the mother of the Sun; in NYSA, the mountain where DIONYSOS was born, and / Page 281 / in Mount NISSA of Ethiopia,1 where OSIRIS was born.

" The sacred Stone Lanterns or Light receptacles of Japan are still called Ishidoro, and the Japanese Heavenly Grandchild is
said to have descended to earth upon Mount KIRISHIMA. ISIS was known in Northern Europe as ZIZI ; the Chaldean solar hero was IZDUBAR; and the last of the Japanese twin­deities were named IZANAGI and IZANAMI.
In Lapland the goddess corresponding to ISIS was worshipped under the name ISA, and this word must be related to ISIA, a Greek variant of ISIS, signifying, according to Plato, " Holy One," "Intelligence," and," Perception." 2
678
The name ISIS was understood by Plutarch as meanmg "Knowledge." 3
In Hebrew the syllable IS becomes JES, and thus the Jews term ISAIAH JESAIAH ; conversely the word JESSE is presumably identical with ISSE. In the collection of mystic literature grouped together in our Bible under the significant title ISAIAH, is a prophecy of the future, when" the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." " In that day," says Isaiah, " there shall be a root of JESSE. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of JESSE, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots." 4 The root of JESSE, as represented herewith, is five-limbed, and is thus the root of Light.

"And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me

ISHI"

In HOSEA there is a Millenniary prophecy wherein occurs the enigmatic passage: "And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me ISHI; and shalt call me no more BAALI. For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name." 1 The Baalim were secondary divinities into which the Phoenician Great God EL was subdivided, and ISHI was probably a synonym for the primal Light. The Celtic giant blinded by LUGH, the Light, was named BALOR, the Bal of which may perhaps be equated with the Baal of Baalim. ­
The animal upon which the letters ISS are inscribed (ante, p. 278) is a Bear,and the Seven Stars of the Golden Bear were known as the Seven Rishis or .shining Lights. From this word an initial vowel has evidently worn off. As the Seven stars are very like a plough, and the constellation was sometimes known as the Seven Ploughing Oxen, it is probable that the lost vowel was A, making Ar-ishis. The syllable AR, which is Irish for Plough, is the root of many terms relating to ploughing, such as Arable, Aryan, etc.2 Arishis will thus simply and reasonably resolve into Plough Lights.
Ursa, the Latin for Bear, is from the same root as USHAS, the Dawn; and the shining USHAS (the usher of Day) is identical with ISIS. The Vedic Man in the Sun, corresponding to the generic term Adam, was entitled PURUSHA. SHRI, the wife of VISHNU, before descending from the Sun, was known as ANUSHAYINI,3 and the wife of / Page 283 / KRISHNA,"the nocturnal Sun," is named LUXMEE."

2 The name George means a plough or husbandman. English rural folk still pronounce this "JAARGE," wherein they unconsciously preserve the primitive radical AR.
3 The Mountains of KIRISHIMA are situated in the Island of KlUSHIO, and it is recorded of-a certain Japanese God that he established himself under the name of OKUNINUSHI at a place named IZUMO. In Sanscrit the root USH means" to burn."

"The name of the prophet

ELISHA"

"The knowledge that Is or Ish meant Lux, the light, not only elucidates the meaning of ISHI, but it also unravels the etymology of many other obscure titles, e.g. the Goddess ISHTAR, whose name has hitherto proved an insoluble enigma, may be resolved into Ish, the Light, and Tar, " daughter of." 1 .
The name of the prophet ELISHA (a burning and a. shining light) resolves itself naturally into ISHA, "the light of " EL,
"God." In the authorised version of "the New Testament ELISHA is rendered "ELISEUS, and it may safely be inferred that ELISSA, an alternative name of DIDO, has also the same signification. DIDO is generally accepted as a mythical personification. of the Sun, and her famous suicide is equivalent to the flaming death of the sun on the funeral pyre of the sunset. The term ELISSA, which was also borne by an Arabian Goddess whom Herodotus" identifies with the Persian Mitra)2 leads suggestively to ELISYON, and there is little doubt that the Elysian Fields of the Greeks may be equated with ZION, the Holy City of
the Hebrews. . "
One of the lesser Elizabethans who dedicates a sonnet sequence entitled Diana, "Unto Her Majesty's Sacred Honourable Maids," leads off :

"Eternal Twins that conquer "Death and Time, Perpetual advocates in Heaven and Earth; Fair, chaste, immaculate, and all divine, Glorious alone before the first man's birth." 3

Page 283 Notes

1 The syllable TAR occurs again in the Finnish name ILMATAR, supposedly meaning "Daughter of the Air." It is well recognised that the language of Finland abounds in Chaldean survivals, and the Finnish suffix "tar,"" equivalent to "the daughter of," is seemingly, one of these. Cf. Popular Poetry of tlte Flnns, C. J. Billson.

"Her Majesty" has here been supposed to mean Queen Elizabeth, but the Elizabeth in the poet's mind was evidently the Daughter of Zion, who was" all glorious within" - EL-IZZA-BETH, i.e. the House of the Light of God.
I t is obvious that Jeshurun or "ISRAEL" refers fre­quently to something more than an historic tribe of Semitic demon-worshippers, and that ISRAEL, he or she, is sometimes a personification of the individual soul wandering in the wilderness. I suggest that the name ISRAEL resolves itself naturally into IS, " the Light of," RA, " the eternal Sun which has existed for ever," 1 EL "the First Cause, the principle or beginning of all things." 2 The poetic "ISRAEL" thus appears as an extension of the name EZRA, "Rising of Light," 3 and as another personification of the Divine Essence, Light" or Colony in the soul.
It was said of Wisdom, "She is the brightness of the everlasting Light, she is more beautiful than the Sun and above all the order of Stars." 4 In some parts of Italy Cinderella is entitled L'ISABELLUCCIA,5 a name obviously akin to ISABELLA, which may mean either "Beautiful Light" or "The Shining of the Light." The syllables ELLA, as in Cinderella, are found in stella, a star; and aster, an alternative word for star, is related to ASHTAROTH. ASHTAROTH
and ASTARTE are appellations of ISHTAR, and ISHTAR has been identified with ESTHER, a name which is radically identical with the Zendic stara, a star..."

Page 284 (Figures 679, 680, 681 omitted) "The Greek version of the Book of Esther contains the remarkable passage: "A little / Page 285 / fountain became a river, and there was light, and the sun, and much water. This river is ESTHER, and the two dragons are I and HAMAN." In Ecclesiasticus a similar piece of autobiogrnphy- is put into the mouth of Wisdom. " I also came out as a brook from a river and as a conduit into a garden. I said, I will water my best garden, and will water abundantly my garden bed: and 10, my brook became a river, and my river became a sea. I will yet make my / Page 286 / doctrine to shine as the morning, and will send forth her light afar off: I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy and leave it to all ages for ever." 1 The Rabbis seem to preserve some tradition of a similar interpretation when they call. Esther the" hind of the Dawn," and in the Talmud it is stated that her complexion was the colour of gold.2
In the above emblems of L'ISABELLUCCIA or CINDERELLA she is seated on the zigzags of effulgence and is adorned
with the hair jewel of the Dawn goddess..
On the scroll emerging from the mouth of fig. 68 I is a word that was almost certainly "MANAS," but two strokes of the letter N have unfortunately broken away. MANAS in Sanscrit means "mind," "organ of thought," " function of cognition and action," " the ego qr individualising principle sometimes called the rational or human soul'; The Crescent Moon was the badge of blue-bearded SIN, the Assyrian God of Light, and the word Cinderella is indubitably related to SIN. The etymology of our word Cinder is so suggestive that I quote it verbatim from WEDGWOOD'S Dictionary of English Etymology. "It should
be written Sinder, corresponding to German Sinter; Dutch Sindel; Sintel, Old Norse: Sindr signifying in the first place the brilliant-sparks which are driven off when white-hot iron is beaten on the anvil, then the black scales to which they turn when cold, and the slag or dross of iron of which they are composed. The origin of the word is seen in Old Norse Sindra, to sparkle, to throw out sparks-a parallel form with Tyndra, to sparkle. In Germany Zunder is used as a synonym with Sinder" The Old Norse of our word TINDER is SINDRI = a flint for striking fire associated with a tinkling sound.
The name SINDBAD is doubtless of similar derivation to / Page 287 / SINDRELLA and to the Teutonic names SINDBALD, meaning "sparkling prince," and SINDBERT meaning "sparkling bright." The Seven voyages of SINDBAD were once allegoric, and their symbolism has been worked out in considerable detail by E. A. Hitchcock.l In the third of the Seven voyages SINDBAD, like "ISSI," ULYSSES, and BISSAT, blinds a one-eyed monster."

CHAPTER VIII
THE FAIR SHULAMITE

"Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?"-SONG OF SOLOMON.
THE qualities attributed to the heroine of The Song of Solomon are so numerous, contradictory, and conflicting, that criticism, unable to reconcile them, assumes that the poem does not refer to a single personality, but is an anthology of secular songs used at Semitic marriage festivals, revised and loosely connected by an editor without regard to temporal sequence.1
But if, as I have shown reason to suppose, the Bridegroom is King Solomon himself, it naturally follows that the fair Shulamite is she of whom he wrote: "I loved her and sought her out from my youth: I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty." 2 These words are addressed to the personification of "Wisdom," a word that has nowadays lost its true meaning, and unfortunately fails to convey its original significance. Among the ancients "Wisdom" implied Love and Knowledge blended in perfect and equal proportions. Our English word "Truth" personifies what is perhaps the nearest approach to the original conception; but "Wisdom" meant more than / Page 168 / Truth

. Page 167 Notes1 Encyclopmdia Biblica, art. "Canticles," Cheyne.
2 Wisdom of Solomon viii. I

.Page 168
" It was used to personify the Celestial Influence which at a later period was described as the "Holy Spirit." "Wisdom, which is the' worker of all good things," says Solomon, "taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit, holy, one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good, quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good. Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, pure, and most subtil spirits. For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness. For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure irifluence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her. For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of His goodness. And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets. For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom. For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the orders of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it. For after this cometh , night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom." 1 "Whoso findeth me," says Wisdom of herself, "findeth life, but he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul; All they that hate me love death." 2
In Egypt Wisdom was personified by ISIS,3 a manifold goddess of whom it was inscribed: "I am that which is, has been, and shall be, and no man has lifted my veil."

CINDERELLA
"Beauty, Truth, and Rarity,
Grace in all simplicity,
Here enclosed in cinders lie."
Shakespeare

."HAVING established ,the probability that CINDERELLA contains many traces of original allegory) it is permissible to consider this theory in closer detail) and to inquire into the meaning underlying CINDERELLA'S protean change of raiment. Her supernatural and mystical dresses seem unquestionably to symbolise the awakening) growfh) and final apotheosis of Wisdom within the mind.
The Ancients conceived a primeval and self-existent Mother of all Wisdom) who figures in Mythology as the Magna Mater, the Bona Dea, the All-Mother of the Gods; and in Romance this primal Mother appears as the fairy Queen or fairy Godmother.
The mother of King SOLOMON is mentioned in the Canticles as having crownled him on the day of his espousals.1 In SLAV legend this Mother of the Sun is described sometimes as the Sea) into whose arms the Sun sinks wearily on the close of day; at other times as sitting Fate-like in a golden castle) built seemingly of fire."

"It is almost a universal feature of the Cinderella tales that the heroine is the living image of her lovely Mother; and thus a study of the Mother simultaneously reveals the character of the Daughter. In a Sanscrit legend, the Father, who was" of the race of the Sun," had a child exactly resembling him in every particular except age, and the Father observes, "He is not another, but my very self."1 When SHRI, the heroine of the Descent of the Sun, is doomed to wander cheerlessly on earth, the Lord of Creatures says, "I must not leave her lovely body to the play of chance, for it has in it something of my own Divinity."
The relation, then, of Cinderella to her Star-crowned Mother-and of many other famous Mother-and-Daughter of Mythology-is that of the streamlet to the ocean, the' spark. to the fire, the ego to the Oversoul.
CINDERELLA'S fairy godmother or real mother 2 is variously described as an aged woman, a beautiful queen with a star upon her brow, a cow with golden hornis, a water nymph, a mermaid living in a grotto of pearl and coral, and as a sea-serpent named LABISMINA.
The conception of the Sea as the Great Mother of all Creation is common to ancient cosmogonies. Whether this universal belief arose because physical life was known to have originated in water, or whether the sea was symboli­cally employed because of the innumerable analogies between Water and Wisdom, is a point that it would be futile to discuss: it cannot, however, be questioned that from the remotest ages the Spirit of Truth or Wisdom has been typified by Water and the Sea.

VOL. I. 14

In Babylonian cosmogony the Deep or Depth was regarded as a symbol of Unfathomable Wisdom.3 Wisdom, / Page 198 / the Spouse of the Supreme Creator, was said to dwell in the depths of the illimitable ocean, ind was termed" the Lady of the Abyss" and the "Voice of the Abyss." 1 An ancient Irish Goddess-probably the most ancient was named DOMNU, and Sir JOHN RHYS believes this word. to have signified the Abyss or Deep Sea.2 Three thousand years before CHRIST, a Chinese Emperor is said to have "instituted the music of the Great Abyss" in order to bring spirits and men into harmony; 3 and .from prehistoric times the term "Abyss" seems to have been extensively used to depote the Unknown, the Mysterious, and the Unfathomable. LABISMINA, the Sea-serpent godmother of CINDERELLA, is evidently a corruption from L'ABYSME, the old French superlative of Abyss. It means the profoundest depth, the primal chaos, the unfathomable and unsearchable deep, and, according to Dr MURRAY, "a subterraneous reservoir of waters." 4
Among the names of the Great Mother-Goddess CYBELE were MA and MAlA, terms which in all probability were related to MAYA, the name of the great empire that once flourished in SOUTH AMERICA. Traces of this empire exist in the ruined cities of MEXICO, and there are some who maintain that it was the fertile parent from which sprang the civilisations of EGYPT and ASSYRIA. The meaning of !he name MAYA has been assumed to be the" Mother of the Waters" or the" Teats of the Waters MA-Y-A"­she of the four hundred breasts, as they were wont to express the Ephesian Goddess.5

The reason given by / Page 199 / BRASSEUR for this derivation is the fact that the soil of the MAYA country is honeycombed, and that just below the surface there exist innumerable and immense caves. "In these caves are deposits of cool, limpid waters, extensive lakes fed by subterraneous streams."1 It thus seems probable that the term L'ABYSME, "a subterraneous reservoir of waters," is, like much other symbolism, traceable to the extinct civilisation of MEXICO, and that in LABISMINA the fairy godmother of CINDERELLA we have a relic of the un­fathomable MAYAN water-lakes.
In EGYPT the name for the Waters was Mem, a root from which have in all probability sprung the Irish Mam and the Welsh Mam-both words meaning Mother."

"In Chaldea MUMMU TIAWATH, the Sea, was she who brought forth everything existing, and MAMA meant the "Lady of the Gods." 2
Among the Peruvians Mama meant Mother,3 and the old SLAV word for Mother is also Mama.4 King, after mentioning a local term for "the stream of the Great Ocean which flows out from the middle of the Perfect Man," continues: "This same Deity was called by the PHRYGIANS Papa,5 because he appeased the confusion and chaotic tumult which prevailed before his coming." 6 Thus the first words that an infant learns to lisp relate in all probability to its primeval Mother, the Sea.
The Mayan and Egyptian hieroglyph for water was a zigzag or wavy line representing the ripples of the stream or the waves of the sea, and water or spirit has ever since / Page 200 / been generally represented by this prehistoric and almost universal sign. LE PLONGEON states that among the Mayas the wavy line hieroglyph for water terminated with the head of a snake, because they compared the waves of the ocean to the undulations of a moving serpent. For this reason they named the sea Canah, the Great and powerful Serpent.1 Anaconda the name of the giant serpent of South America, would seem to be resolvable into anak the giant, onda waves. This connection of the serpent with the sea is probably the true origin of the universal use of the serpent as a symbol of Celestial Wisdom, a symbolism for the reason of which a number of recondite and ingenious speculatiohs have froni time to time been put forward. From the above designs it is evident that the mediaeval symbolists used the. serpent with a knowledge of its primary and elemental meaning of sea waves, and this original connection between the serpent and water was no doubt an additional reason for the serpent's significance as an emblem of Regeneration.

Page 298

THE EYE OF THE UNIVERSE

The Semitic for Fire and Light is Ur, whence Christian / Page 299 / names such as URIAH (URJAH) and URIEL are both defined in name-dictionaries as meaning" God is my Light or Fire." 1
The British Hooray! or Hurrah! may in all probability be resolved into Ur-ray or -Ra, " the light of RA." At the Sun Festivals of PERU the worshippers raised triumphant shouts of Hailli!2 which is seemingly a later form of our more primitive Hail! arid one may picture the primitive Britons on Salisbury Plain and other sites of prehistoric Sun-worship, ' waiting in silent expectation for the Dawn and raising ecstatic shouts of URRAH! as' the great Eye of Day rose over the horizon and opened upon them.
The British three cheers or Trisagion may be compared with the expression Selah, which occurs at intervals in the Hebrew Psalms and is nowadays supposed to have meant "a pause. "It is phonetically Silah! the" Fire of the Everlasting."
The Vive! or Vivas! of the Latin nations is related to VIVASVAT, a Sanscrit name for. the Sun, the Source and Giver of Life. The word laus, as in Laus Deo, before it meant" praise," must have been la us, the "Light of the Everlasting," and we may again recognise it in this prehistoric sense in SANTA CLAUS or, as it should .be written, SANTA CLAUS, the" Holy Great Light that has existed for ever."

SANTA SATAN SATAN SANTA

These same two syllables la-us are the conclusion of the name ELELEUS,one of the surnames of APOLLO and DIONYSOS.
"Wherever," says Max Mulller, "we analyse language in a truly scholarlike spirit, whether in Iceland or in Tierra del Fuego, we shall find in it the key to some of the deepest secrets of the human mind, and the solution of problems in philosophy and religion which nothing else can supply.

"The Hebrew for man is ish and for woman isha."

Page 300

"Each language, wheher Sanscrit or Zulu, is like a palimpsest, which, if carefully handled, will disclose the original text beneath the superficial writing, and though that original text may be more difficult to recover in illiterate languages, yet it is there nevertheless. Every language, if properly summoned, will reveal to us the mind of the artist who framed it, from its earliest awakening to its latest dreams. Everyone will teach us the same lesson, the lesson on which the whole Science of Thought is based, that there is no language without reason, as there is no reason with.out language."1 An analysis of the several terms for man, soul, or spirit reveals the time-honoured belief that the human race emerged in its infancy from the Great Light, and that every human soul was a spark or fragment of the Ever­Existent Oversoul. The Egyptian for man was se, the German for soul is seele - cognate with Selah! - and meaning likewise the "Light of the Everlasting." The Dutch for soul is ziel, the fiery light of God, and the English soul was once presumably is ol, the essence or light of God.2 The Hebrew for man is ish and for woman isha.

The Latin homo is OM, the Sun, as also is the French homme ; and dme, the French for soul, is apparently the Hindoo AUM. The ancient Mexicans traced their descent from an ancestor named Coxcox, i.e. ack ock se, ack ock se, the "Great Great Light, the Great Great Light." 8 The Teutons claim to have descended from TIU or TUISCO, an Aryan God of Light, and the name TUISCO may be restored into tu is ack O , the "brilliant light of the Great O."

"Great Sun or Great One, / Page 302 / and HACO, HUGO, and JAGO, the "Ever-Existent great O."
The- high ancestry of the human Ego, the" I myself," the "I" of the first person singular is reflected in the Greek and Latin term Ego, the "Great O." The Anglo-Saxon for "I" was Ic and the Old English Ik. The Dutch is Ik, the Icelandic is Ek, and the German Ich. The French Je means the ever-existent, and in the Danish and Swedish Jeg and Jag we are again confronted with" ever-existen.t great one." The Lithuanian for "I myself" is Asz, i.e. the" light of the strong Light," and in the Sanscrit Aham there is, as it were, an echo1 of the words "I AM"
The Je of ever-existent occurs in JAHWE or JEHOVAH; in JOVE, which is the same word as JEHOVAH; in JUPITER, i.e. lu pitar, the."ever-existent Father"; in the Japanese JIMMU ; 2 and in JUMALA, the Finnish ALL FATHER. The latter name may be resolved into JUM, the" ever..;existent Sun," ALA or ALLAH, the "God who has existed for ever."
In Germany SANTA CLAUS is known alternatively as Knecht (Knight) CLOBES. CLOBES is the same word as our globes, and the root of both is the syllable ob, once meaning the same as Orb. Ob, meaning a ball, is the foundation of obus, a ball, and also of obolus, a little ball. The word bolus or large pill is obolus with a lost initial, and to the same root.are traceable bowl, a round ball, and bowl, a circular utensil. Globe must originally have been ag el obe, the "Great Orb of God." CLOBES will therefore, like ACLAUS, / Page 303 / have meant "the light of the Great Orb of God," and we may equate "Knight CLOBES" with OBERON, the Fairy King.1"

1 Presumably so called with the pleasing fancy that Echo was the voice of the Great O.
2 On ascending the throne of his fathers, A.D.. 1868, Mutsuhito, the late Emperor of Japan, thus addressed his people :-" My house, that from Jimmu Tenshi has ruled over Japan according to the will of the gods, is the oldest dynasty on earth, and is carried back ten thousand years beyond Jimmu to the time when. our Divine ancestors laid the foundations of the earth." JIMMU is the same as the English JIMMY, a form of JAMES, or, as it used to be pronounc:ed, JEAMES, i.e. the Everlasting Sunlight."

The round fruit on the top of fig.184 (omitted) may be an orange-the" golden ever-existent One" or the Pearl of Price-a gooseberry, or an onion. The onion was an emblem of God among the Egyptians, and probably likewise among the Druids, for it was a custom in England for girls to divine by it. According to Webster'sDictionary, onion is a name also given to "a single, large pearl, apparently because of its oneness or unity." The reason for the symbolism once attached to onion (the vegetable) was no doubt its spherical shape, the golden sheen of its outer skin, the pearly white of its inner texture, and the sheath within sheath, the ring within ring, of its growth.

"Shall any gazer see with mortal eyes,
Or any searcher know by mortal mind;
Veil after veil will lift-but there must be
Veil upon veil behind." 1

"There is a golden, yellow fruit that grows in AMERICA known as the persimmon or "Jove's apple." Its scientific name is diospyrus, and the splendour of its colouring is some justification for the idea that it was the golden apple that grew in the Garden of the Hesperides.
The French word pomme and the English apple yield respectively "eye of the Sun" and "eye of POL": POL
was one of the names of BALDUR, the Sun-God - the "enduring Ball." The Greek for apple is melon,2 a word applied by us to a gourd3 or cucumber,' and it is evident that many fruits and berries 5 were named from their similitude to the round Sun.
The Welsh for apple is aval, and thus AVALON, the Isle of Rest, is understood alternatively to mean " The Apple/Island." The heroine of The Song of Solomon is described as having been raised under an apple tree."

"the universe had been filled with a dark, watery nothingness, called the Nun"

Page 382
Heliopolitan theology rested on a creation-myth distinguished by a number of unique and- curious features. It taught that in the beginning the universe had been filled with a dark, watery nothingness, called the Nun. Out of this inert cosmic ocean (described as 'shapeless, black with the blackness of the blackest night') rose a mound of dry land on which Ra, the Sun God, materialized in his self-created form as Atum (sometimes depicted as an old bearded man leaning on a staff):5
The sky had not-been created, the earth had not been created, the children of the earth and the reptiles had not been fashioned in that place. "I, Atum, was one by myself, "There existed no other who worked with me."6
Conscious of being alone, this blessed and immortal being contrived to create two divine offspring, Shu, god of the air and dryness, and Tefnut the goddess of moisture: 'I thrust my phallus into my closed hand. I made my seed to enter my hand. I poured it into my own mouth. I evacuated under the form of Shu, I passed water under the form of Tefnut.,7"

"Despite such apparently inauspicious beginnings, Shu and Tefnut (who were always-described as 'Twins' and frequently depicted as lions) grew to maturity, copulated and produced off spring of their own: Geb the god of the earth and Nut, the goddess of the sky. These two also mated, creating Osiris and Isis, Set and Nepthys, and so completed the Ennead, the full company of the Nine Gods of Heliopolis. Of the nine, Ra, Shu, Geb and Osiris were said to have ruled in Egypt as kings, followed by Horus, and lastly - for 3226 years - by the Ibis-headed wisdom god Thoth.8

"Who were these people - or creatures, or beings, or gods? Were they figments of the priestly imagination, or symbols, or ciphers? Were the stories told about them vivid myth memories of real events which had taken place thousands of years previously? Or were they, perhaps, part of a coded message from the ancients that had been transmitting itself over and over again down the epochs - a message only now beginning to be unravelled and understood?
Such notions seemed fanciful. Nevertheless I could hardly forget / Page 383 / that out of this very same Heliopolitan tradition the great myth of Isis and Osiris had flowed, covertly transmitting an accurate calculus for the rate of precessionl motion. Moreover the priests of Innu, whose responsibility it had been to guard and nurture such traditions, had been renowned throughout Egypt for their high wisdom and their proficiency in prophecy, astronomy, mathematics, architecture and the magic arts."

Page 381 (number omitted)

"Heliopolis (City of the Sun) was referred to in the Bible as On but was originally known in the Egyptian language as Innu, or Innu Mehret ­meaning 'th€ pillar' or 'the northern pillar'. 3 It was a district of immense sanctity, associated with a strange group of nine solar and stellar deities, and was old beyond reckoning when Senuseret chose it as the site for his obelisk. Indeed, together with Giza (and the distant southern city of Abydos) Innu/Heliopolis was believed to have been part of the first land that emerged from the primeval waters at the / Page 382 / moment of creation, the land of the 'First Time', where the gods had commenced their rule on earth.4

Page 399

Copies, or translations?

"Writing in 1934, the year of his death, Wallis Budge, former Keeper of Egyptian Antiquities at the British Museum and the author of an authoritative hieroglyphic dictionary, 59 made this frank admission: / Page 400 / The Pyramid Texts are full of difficulties of every kind. The exact meanings of a large number of words found in them are unknown. . . The construction of the sentence often baffles all attempts to translate it, and when it contains wholly unknown words it becomes an unsolved riddle. It is only reasonable to suppose that these texts were often used for funerary purposes, but it is quite clear that their period of use in Egypt was little more than one hundred years. Why they were suddenly brought into use at the end of the Fifth Dynasty and ceased to be used at the end of the Sixth Dynasty is inexplicable.'60
Could the answer be that they were copies of an earlier literature which Unas, the last pharaoh of the Fifth Dynasty, together with several of his successors in the Sixth Dynasty, had attempted to fix for ever in stone in the tomb chambers of their own pyramids? Budge thought so, and felt the evidence suggested that some at least of the source documents must have been exceedingly old:
Several passages bear evidence that the scribes who drafted the copies from which the cutters of the inscriptions worked did not understand what they were writing. . . The general impression is that the priests who drafted the copies made extracts from several compositions of different ages and having different contents. . . ,61
All this assumed that the source documents, whatever they were, must have been written in an archaic form of the Ancient Egyptian language. There was, however, an alternative possibility which Budge failed to consider. Suppose that the task of the priests had been not only to copy material but to translate into hieroglyphs texts originally composed in another language altogether? If that language had included a technical terminology and references to artefacts and ideas for which no equivalent terms existed in Ancient Egyptian, this would provide an explanation for the strange impression given by certain of the utterances. Moreover, if the copying and translating of the original source documents had been completed by the end of the Sixth Dynasty, it was easy to understand why no more 'Pyramid Texts' had ever been carved: the project would have come to a halt when it had fulfilled its objective - which would have been to create a permanent hieroglyphic record of a sacred literature that had already been tottering with age when Unas had taken the throne of Egypt in 2356 BC.

"The Egyptians called Heliopolis Innu, the pillar, because tradition had it that the Benben had been kept here in remote pre-dynastic times, when it had balanced on top of a pillar of rough-hewn stone.
The Benben was believed to have fallen from the skies. Unfortunately, it had been lost so long before that its appearance was no longer remembered by the time Senuseret took the throne in 1971 BC. In that period (the Twelfth Dynasty) all that was clearly recalled was that the Benben had been pyramidal in form, thus providing (together with the pillar on which it stood) a prototype for the shape of all future obelisks. The name Benben was likewise applied to the pyramidion, or apex stone, usually placed on top of pyramids.1O In a symbolic sense, it was also associated closely and directly with Ra-Atum, of whom the ancient texts said, 'You became high on the height; you rose up as the Benben stone in the Mansion of the Phoenix. . . ,11
Mansion of the Phoenix described the original temple at Heliopolis where the Benben had been housed. It reflected the fact that the mysterious object had also served as an enduring symbol for the mythical Phoenix, the divine Bennu bird whose appearances and disappearances were believed to be linked to violent cosmic cycles and to the destruction and rebirth of world ages.12

Connections and similarities

Driving through the suburbs of Heliopolis at around 6.30 in the morning I closed my eyes and tried to summon up a picture of the landscape as it might have looked in the mythical First Time after the Island of Creation 13
- the primordial mound of Ra-Atum - had risen out of the flood waters of the Nun. It was tempting to see a connection between this imagery and the Andean traditions that spoke of the emergence of the civilizer god Viracocha from the waters of Lake Titicaca after an earth-destroying flood. Moreover there was the figure of Osiris to consider - a conspicuously bearded figure, like Viracocha, and like Quetzalcoatl as well - remembered for having abolished cannibalism among the Egyptians, for having taught them agriculture and animal husbandry, and for introducing them to such arts as writing, architecture, and music.14
