Mystical Philosophy of Universal Consciousness<br />
The same Supreme Being, Neter, is the winged all-encompassing transcendental Divinity, the Spirit who, in<br />
the early history, is called “Heru.” The physical universe in which the Heru lives is called “Hetheru” or the<br />
“house of Heru.” This divinity (Heru) is also the Nun or primeval substratum from which all matter is<br />
composed. The various divinities and the material universe are composed from this primeval substratum. Neter<br />
is actually androgynous and Heru, the Spirit, is related as a male aspect of that androgyny. However, Heru in<br />
the androgynous aspect, gives rise to the solar principle and this is seen in both the male and female divinities.<br />
The image above provides an idea of the relationships between the divinities of the three main Neterian<br />
spiritual systems (traditions): Anunian Theology, Wasetian (Theban) Theology and Het-Ka-Ptah (Memphite)<br />
Theology. The traditions are composed of companies or groups of gods and goddesses. Their actions,<br />
teachings and interactions with each other and with human beings provide insight into their nature as well as<br />
that of human existence and Creation itself. The lines indicate direct scriptural relationships and the labels also<br />
indicate that some divinities from one system are the same in others, with only a name change. Again, this is<br />
attested to by the scriptures themselves in direct statements, like those found in the Prt m Hru text Chapter 4<br />
(17). 2<br />
Listening to the Teachings<br />
“Mestchert”<br />
“Listening, to fill the ears, listen attentively-“<br />
What should the ears be filled with?<br />
The sages of Shetaut Neter enjoined that a Shemsu Neter (follower of Neter, an initiate or<br />
aspirant) should listen to the WISDOM of the Neterian Traditions. These are the myth related to<br />
the gods and goddesses containing the basic understanding of who they are, what they represent,<br />
how they relate human beings and to the Supreme Being. The myths allow us to be connected to<br />
the Divine.<br />
An aspirant may choose any one of the 5 main Neterian Traditions.<br />
• Shetaut Anu – Teachings of the Ra Tradition<br />
• Shetaut Menefer – Teachings of the Ptah Tradition<br />
• Shetaut Waset – Teachings of the Amun Tradition<br />
• Shetaut Netrit – Teachings of the Goddess Tradition<br />
• Shetaut Asar – Teachings of the Asarian Tradition<br />
• Shetaut Aton – Teachings of the Aton Tradition<br />
