In the Beginning

The Egyptians referred to Ra as “the Word”:

I am the Eternal, I am Ra
I am that which created the Word
I am the Word.

This passage comes from the Pyramid Texts which were carved as hieroglyphics. Thousands of years later, this verse would reappear in the King James Bible:

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.

In the Book of the Dead, Ra was said to have ascended from the primordial waters as a snake. As self-created deity, He was the first being to emerge from the total darkness and watery abyss that existed before creation. A product of the order within this chaos, Ra created the Grand Ennead out of loneliness.

The primordial vibration, AUM, is the sacred syllable or sound from which all existence emerges. From the sacred hum all forms unfold. It evokes the idea that vibration itself is the origin of matter. In sacred geometry and cosmology, the first “word” or “tone” is what calls the universe into being—a logos that structures energy into order. From AUM comes the name Atum-Ra.

The words we use shape our reality in profound ways. Every spoken phrase carries the potential to build bridges or erect barriers, to ignite understanding or fuel conflict. In this intricate dance of language we wield the power to cultivate empathy, inspire change or forge paths of shared understanding that resonate with eternity.

Above: His right eye was the Sun and His left the Moon

Red in Egyptian symbology was deshret—the colour of conscious life, inner fire and manifest power. The disc above the head of a god wasn’t so much “something beyond” as it was the contained Sun, the creative source. In this sense, it corresponded not to the eighth chakra of transcendence but to the first—the root, the seed of existence, Ra’s living spark. It was the beginning of energy, not the beyond of it.

Now here’s the paradox—the circle was placed above the head. This indicated that the Egyptians didn’t view the root as “below” and the crown as “above” in the same way that we do now. For them, the source or the root-fire shone through the head, crowned as awareness. It was the root realised in consciousness—the kundalini made self-aware. That’s why Ra’s disc rested between serpent horns—it was duality held in balance.

Ra was the king of all the other deities. So powerful was He that some have argued that the entire Egyptian religion was some form of veiled monotheism. This seems to be an overstatement, but it underlines Ra’s primary position within the religious texts. Here we are reminded of His secret Latin initialism SSSS:

SERMONE  SACRO  SPHAERAM  STATUI
By the sacred word I have created the sphere

The word “sphere” here refers to the universe which is conceived as a harmonious whole. In this respect, Ra also represents the soul itself—the observer behind our vision that we call our Inner Being. In this light, the macrocosm and microcosm are one: as we develop self-awareness, we become the creators of our perceived domain. This statement of divine authority is a declaration of supreme power:

I am the one who calls the universe into being.

This phrase isn’t misunderstood because it’s confusing—but because it’s powerful. It challenges the boundaries between word and world, language and logos, self and Self. To the zealot it may seem blasphemous, but to the mystic it promotes Self-realisation.

But Ra wasn’t just speaking metaphorically above. He was describing the secret matrix that the Melchizedek Order used to create self-aware planets throughout the universe. In other words, the ancient mysteries weren’t lost—they’re still active, waiting for us to rediscover them.

THE INVOCATION OF THE SACRED WORD

By power unseen, by pulse of flame,
By breath that moves and speaks the Name,
I summon stars from silent womb—
From void to voice, from light to bloom.

With living word, not carved in stone,
But forged in fire, in thought alone,
I wove the weave, I turned the key,
I sang the world to life through me.

I am the seed within the flame,
The breath that speaks the hidden name.
In every dawn, in every part—
The Sun ascends within the heart.

I am the word. I am the way.
I am the dawn of every day.
So let it be as it was begun—
The One who speaks that all is One.

So these myths are not records of events but rather maps of consciousness. Ra rising from the waters is not about the past—it’s about you, now, rising from unconsciousness into awareness. “In the beginning was the Word” describes the universe’s rebirth in every moment of your own becoming—in every thought, every word, every act.
