Fragment: 3

When I finished "Fragment: 2" I thought I was finished with Akhenaten, and the original Cult of Aten, but I was wrong. I have more to say about Akhenaten and Atenism. So let us go back to the original Cult of Aten. Aten is depicted as a disc or orb. Aten is never represented as a humanoid figure or animal as the other Egyptian gods. The reason for this is because Aten is beyond creation, thus cannot be represented by created things, The Sun symbol is just a symbol. All this hould sound familiar, both the disc or sphere as a symbol, and not having images of the living god, as Akhenaten referred to Aten. I will get to why Aten is called the living god in another "Fragment". This symbol of a sphere is going to be a constant in the various religions of Aten. Remember I am referring to all monotheistic religions as various sects of Aten. No matter how the they prefer to name Aten, whether they name him, Allah, Yahweh, Brahman, or simply the One: they are all Aten, as we shall see. Even those who claim to be atheists have Aten as their god, a good example is the recently deceased physicist S. Hawking. Hawking conception of the ultimate reality (a no boundary universe) was a One. It is also interesting to note that Hawking was always one of the the most P.C. of scientists, always endorsing the progressive agenda (R.H.P.). Hawking was definitely a believer in the One (Aten). Another aspect of the mythology of Aten that shall concern us is the conception of life after death in a perfect City. A city of the Sun, as Akhenaten puts it. Atenism is always Utopian either in this life or the next life. In a myth that predated Akhenaten about Aten is becoming one with the One. Aten was around before Akhenaten, but just as an aspect of Ra. Monotheism is always Utopian, that perfection can be reached in this life or the next. I shall have much more to say on this topic in future :Fragments" since Atenism is the source and support of the R.H.P. I now move to the dualism that is in all monotheistic religion (Atenism). Dualism is the contradiction in all monotheism. Akhenaten taught that all creation is divided into day and night. Night is the time to to be afraid. Aten is a represented as a solar deity. The imagery of this in all monotheistic religions is so overwhelming that I shall give no examples. Anyone who is interested can look in the myths of Christianity and Islam if they are unconvinced, even the most cursory examination should suffice. Dualism plays itself out in all the cults of Aten, no matter what they call themselves. I shall discuss this in future "Fragments" and where and how Aten still exists. We live in the reign of Aten, and it is time for it to end. a Necromancer
