<strong>Cosmic</strong> <strong>Game</strong> © Douglass A. White, 2012 v151207 141<br />

Ra is the symbol for light. He is the Higher Self and contains the cosmic plan for the<br />

unfolding of the universe. <strong>The</strong> Egyptians knew that the entire universe is nothing but<br />

light. That includes humans and all of human experience, which means that human<br />

awareness is essentially the subjective value of light, and light is the objective value of<br />

human awareness. <strong>The</strong>y are one and the same thing experienced from different<br />

viewpoints. <strong>The</strong> Hebrews preserved this ancient Egyptian concept by letting "RA" mean<br />

to see, and then reversing it to get the word for light: "AR". (<strong>The</strong>y later disguised the<br />

connection by adding an "U" in the middle: "AUR".<br />

<strong>The</strong> other way in which the Egyptians depicted the sun in their art was in the form of a<br />

disk (sphere) with rays extending out from it. Sometimes the rays took the form of<br />

outstretched hands, and sometimes they were made from strings of "jed" glyphs<br />

4<br />

<strong>The</strong> arm-and-hand glyph means power. Rays of sunlight constantly transmit energy<br />

from the sun to the earth. That energy flowing over time is what we call power. <strong>The</strong><br />

"jed" glyphs mean stability. A long string of such glyphs means that a ray of sunlight<br />

consists of a stream of very stable particles. <strong>The</strong>se particles are what we now call<br />

"photons". If you view the "jed" glyph from above, as if it were <strong>com</strong>ing toward you,<br />

you will see the glyph for Ra. <strong>The</strong> four flanges represent the four basic states of matter<br />

that evolve from light photons.<br />

How the Physical World Manifests from Pure Light/Awareness<br />

<strong>The</strong> problem with pure light is that it is abstract. <strong>The</strong>re is really only one photon in the<br />

whole universe, and that photon happens to be YOU. <strong>The</strong> Egyptians called this being<br />

"Aakh" (W), the subjective self as a light being of pure awareness. <strong>The</strong> bird suggests a<br />

spiritual quality, and the crest suggests the pharaoh's cloth headdress. "Aakhet" (*) is<br />

the same word with a female suffix and represents the objective self as a shining<br />

apparition. <strong>The</strong> Egyptians made the glyph for "Aakhet" by simply adding shining rays<br />

to the glyph of Ra.
