murdered husband Osiris and the reassembly of Osiris' body together with<br />

a golden phallus. <strong>The</strong>y taught vigilance against Typhon through the<br />

triumph of Horus over his father's murderer, Set. Horus represents all<br />

immaculately conceived sons of Isis, philosophically born in her<br />

mysteries. In days past, the nom de guerre of these initiates was sons of<br />

the widow. 127<br />

To some degree, Thutmose III returned the mystery religions to a<br />

land where they had existed many centuries before. For example, the<br />

main goddess of the Egyptian pantheon was Isis whose name derives<br />

from the Indo-Hittite onomatopoeic word Ish-ish, meaning she-whoweeps,<br />

the Goddess who weeps for her dying husband. 128 <strong>The</strong> roots of<br />

Egyptian royal language and the religious concepts of the ruling society<br />

suggest that a very early Indo-Hittite migration into Egypt established the<br />

rulers of pre-first dynasty Egypt.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is always the problem of hermetic drift inherent in myths<br />

cobbled together for national identity. This compels us to rise above the<br />

interplay of myths and legends in Occam's helicopter. Only then can we<br />

begin to categorize the archetypal landscape. At the first level of<br />

abstraction, the magnificent temple of King Solomon is Israel and Egypt.<br />

Solomon is Salma the Son of Light and by rose-logic one<br />

anthropomorphic equivalent of Yahweh. In true archetypal fashion, King<br />

Solomon disappears from Biblical history as soon as his role in building<br />

the Temple is finished. <strong>The</strong> treasure of the Temple is the wealth of the<br />

whole region once controlled by the Israelites, from Palestine to the<br />

Egyptian Delta.<br />

At a higher level of abstraction, hermetic logic makes the First<br />

Temple into the New Jerusalem, which can exist everywhere. It is within<br />

us as our celestial soul. King Solomon is greater than any god defined in<br />

relation to the earth. Like the transcendent Yahweh, Egyptian Amun and<br />

Persian Ahura Mazda, King Solomon has an integral role in the<br />

omnipresent order, harmony and balance of the whole universe. This<br />

outstandingly important role is Peace, Mercy in Justice, Righteousness<br />

and the Wisdom or Charity of Love, as we shall see in Chapter 7.<br />
