The thing that you fear most is your own soul. The spiritual
experience is not the soul experience. Your soul is a far more hideous
phenomenon. It is something humanity can’t deal with but it is what we
are.
In the pre dynastic text there was always some being that was
destined to destroy the earth. Later that was diluted into a text that
had these monsters that would come out of sea to destroy the Alexandria
library every night and the people would rebuild in during the day until
some priest stopped the monsters by placing some hieroglyphic spells in
the water. (Yes just like Prometheus and Hercules) Likewise
the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet was going to destroy mankind till she
was sated by beer. The part about the beer is just there to protect your
sanity. The predynastic people taught that a monster would revisit the
earth to destroy it. Later this devolved into Horus then Christ. But
elements of the destruction still remain because remember The so called
second coming of Christ is an Eschatological concept (end of the world).
We also see it in the Sphinx which is combination of Horus and
Sekhmet. Sekhmet to destroy you and Horus to help you keep a grip on
your sanity. And this monster is your soul. And you are just an
emanation of your soul. What is a projection to the projector, it can
be turned on or off at will. You may reject this or you may embrace its
but you are a dream that never existed. We search for the ideal but
suffer with the real.
