EGYPTIAN TANTRIC YOGA<br />
Smai Taui or Smai Heru-Set are the Ancient Egyptian words which are to be translated as<br />
“Egyptian Yoga.”<br />
Above: the main symbol of Egyptian Yoga: Sma. The Ancient Egyptian language and<br />
symbols provide the first "historical" record of Yoga Philosophy and Religious literature. The<br />
hieroglyph Sma, ?"Sema,” represented by the union of two lungs and the trachea, symbolizes<br />
that the union of the duality, that is, the Higher Self and lower self, leads to Non-duality, the<br />
One, singular consciousness.<br />
Above left: Smai Heru-Set, Heru and Set join forces to tie up the symbol of Union<br />
(Sema –see (B) above). The Sema symbol refers to the Union of Upper Egypt<br />
(Lotus) and Lower Egypt (Papyrus) under one ruler, but also at a more subtle<br />
level, it refers to the union of one's Higher Self and lower self (Heru and Set), as<br />
well as the control of one's breath (Life Force) through the union (control) of the<br />
lungs (breathing organs). The character of Heru and Set are an integral part of the<br />
Pert Em Heru.<br />
The central and most popular character within Ancient Egyptian Religion of Asar is Heru,<br />
who is an incarnation of his father, Asar. Asar is killed by his brother Set who, out of greed and<br />
demoniac (Setian) tendency, craved to be the ruler of Egypt. With the help of Djehuti, the God of<br />
wisdom, Aset, the great mother and Hetheru, his consort, Heru prevailed in the battle against Set<br />
for the rulership of Kemit (Egypt). Heru's struggle symbolizes the struggle of every human being<br />
to regain rulership of the Higher Self and to subdue the lower self.<br />
The most ancient writings in our historical period are from the Ancient Egyptians. These<br />
writings are referred to as hieroglyphics. The original name given to these writings by the<br />
Ancient Egyptians is Metu Neter, meaning "the writing of God" or Neter Metu or "Divine<br />
Speech." These writings were inscribed in temples, coffins and papyruses and contained the<br />
teachings in reference to the spiritual nature of the human being and the ways to promote<br />
spiritual emancipation, awakening or resurrection. The Ancient Egyptian proverbs presented in<br />
this text are translations from the original hieroglyphic scriptures. An example of hieroglyphic<br />
text was presented above in the form of the text of Smai Taui or “Egyptian Yoga.”<br />
Egyptian Philosophy may be summed up in the following proverbs, which clearly state that<br />
the soul is heavenly or divine and that the human being must awaken to the true reality, which is<br />
the Spirit, Self.<br />
"Self knowledge is the basis of true knowledge."<br />
