[quote:Fancypantz:MV8zMjM4NDkyXzU3OTA5NDEzXzMxOTFGQzAx] [quote:Fancypantz:MV8zMjM4NDkyX0I1NTNCQjUy] An origin story of purpose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duat [i]Duat (pronounced "do-aht") (also Tuat and Tuaut or Akert, Amenthes, Amenti, or Neter-khertet) was the realm of the dead in ancient Egyptian mythology. It was the realm of the deity Osiris and the residence of other gods and supernatural beings. The Duat was the region through which the sun god Ra traveled from west to east during the night, and where he battled Apep.

Remembering Ra is considered light, bringer of light. With duality, light cannot exist in darkness and darkness cannot exist in light. It is like fish out of water or vampire in the sun. But a little bit of each is in the other and overlaps twice, called magic time or twilight. The split happens when one is more dominate over the other and then comes back together those two times. It is similar to how the past and present and future function. The story of persephone is similar to the story of the serpent bloodline. We know the story of persephone so no need to explain it. The serpent story is how the light and dark birthed the serpent. Similar to South American tales. Some say the serpent is of the past and is one but then some say the serpent is of the future and is of two. They are both right in a way. Both say the serpent births chaos. Interestingly, one story of Jesus coincides with this. As his mother was the doorway that birthed him into darkness. (It is mm feast day who was holder of serpent wisdom, lol) Ra wants to battle Apep. Keep that in mind. So Apep can be in light and dark because it is both from light and dark. It can survive everywhere and anywhere. Think on this: flesh is considered darkness, trapping the spirit in a living mask. It is like dirt which keeps the spirit dormant. Only with the right environment can the spirit awaken or grow. Hope that isn't too all over the place, lol [/quote]

Duat (pronounced "do-aht") (also Tuat and Tuaut or Akert, Amenthes, Amenti, or Neter-khertet) was the realm of the dead in ancient Egyptian mythology. It was the realm of the deity Osiris and the residence of other gods and supernatural beings. The Duat was the region through which the sun god Ra traveled from west to east during the night, and where he battled Apep. It was also the place where people's souls went after death for judgement, though that was not the full extent of the afterlife.[1] Burial chambers formed touching-points between the mundane world and the Duat, and spirits could use tombs to travel back and forth from the Duat.
