The Book of Going Forth By Day

"Before there existed the Ten Commandmants there were the moral laws observed in Egypt known as the 42 Declarations of Innocence of Maat which is known as the 42 Negative Confessions." ~Carmen Stevenson, researcher 

Goddess in the midst of dawn

THE TEN COMMANDEMNTS (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)

1 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.

2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.

3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. Confession#37

4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6 “You shall not murder. Confession #5
7 “You shall not commit adultery. See Confession #23
8 “You shall not steal. Confession#4
9 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Confession#9
10 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.” Confession #40

Goddess arising from the water

"AND MOSES WAS LEARNED IN ALL THE WISDOMS OF THE EGYPTIANS". Act 7:22

IF Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible having been raised as the son of Pharoah's daughter
the 'influence' has been passed off in Commandments that were originally 'Confessions" that were spoken when the deceased crossed over to Duat (underworld)led by Anubis to the goddess Maat and confessed "I have not" for which the testament was weighed by her white feather, if it was balanced he was led to Osirus/Ausar and given immortality due to the respect of these laws that balance the universe. Moral codes of ethic's began in Egypt, it is ironic for Moses to go up into the mountain, metaphyically it means a high state of enlightment and came down the mountain with the 'ten commandments' to the hedonistic Israelites who needed 'The Law'.

It is from these Principles, erroneously called the 42 Negative Confessions by European Egyptologists that the Christian religion got it’s 10 Commandments. Unlike the Spook principle of Idols and exterior divinity our ancestors manifested the indwelling divinity and said “I have not” instead of being ordered “Thou Shalt not”.

These 42 declarations were pronounced by the deceased after Anubis took him/her to the presence of the Goddess Maat and the Divine Judge Tehuti. If the Principles of Maat were respected the heart of the deceased would have nothing weighing down, so it would be lighter than the feather and everlasting life would be given due to respect of these laws that balance the Universe.

It is from these Principles, erroneously called the 42 Negative Confessions by European Egyptologists that the Christian religion got it’s 10 Commandments. Unlike the Spook principle of Idols and exterior divinity our ancestors manifested the indwelling divinity and said “I have not” instead of being ordered “Thou Shalt not”.

ENCOURAGEMENT

Thank you Gregory for embracing and intergrating the Sacred Feminine into your consciousness. We BEcome whole when we INNERstand the gender principles that balance our spirit selves, mirrored as Divine Source above and brought into physical manifestation of our vessels below.

Evolutionary Consciousness begins it's first question with the Self - Who Am I and why Am I here? This is where our first education should begIN, withIN.

Thoth - the Twice Greatest Hermes, Egyptian god of Wisdom taught us to "Know thy Self and you will know the Secrets of the Universe". The knowledge of the Sacred Feminine as the Divine Mother God and Feminine Principle is BEcoming more prevalent as we come to understand the law of opposites, that duality and separateness are illusions and that the two are reconciled in Unity. Such is the magic science of math! This understanding holds true for humanity, for when I see you, I see the mirror of God/ Goddess withIN me. In the 'manyness' of class, color and culture is One animating Spirit that weaves the Breath of Life through us all. Selah!

I have just finished reading this book: "Unveiling the Secrets of the Feminine Principle" by Etta D. Jackson, a Master Metaphysician and Light worker. This work is a a cerebral and comprehensive book on the Sacred Divine. I have left my critique on her book at Amazon.com

Ms. Jackson has written 2 other books I'll try and get my hands on, visit her site at arvestapublications.com on more information about her.

Continue to be the modeling dynamic for men Gregory, we prodigals are slowly awakening and are spiritually heading home...

Unveiling Secrets

“Unveiling the Secrets of the Feminine Principle” is a commanding read from Master Metaphyisican Etta D. Jackson. Ms Jackson anoints our minds in the ‘oracles of theGoddess’; she pulls aside the veil that religious dogma has cursed women with and patriarchy has kept hidden; and takes us on an ‘initiates journey’ to un...cover the secrets of duality and division. As a lightworker, Ms. Jackson shows that “GOD” is both Divine Father and the Sacred Mother. Along our path of initiation we learn of the many roles and aspects of the triple goddess, she is the Creatrix, Comforter, Shekinah, the primordial Eve and the unveiled Isis who is the woman of Revelation who gives birth to the Sun. The journey ends as we come to understand our fall into matter was a Divine Plan from the Mother to bring everything above and below into Unity. This book is a gift to humanity and will serve to heal the many schism’s that plaque us as the Aquarian Age Revelation of the Divine Feminine dawns in our consciousness. ~ Carmen Stevenson 5 *****

SACRED BALANCE

dark haired beauty Amanda

“It takes a great deal of work to open the eyes of men into the realm of balance given the lack of gifts they have received from the women of their lives who lack the spiritual depth and knowledge of their own wombs.” –Gregory E. Woods

“Those who don't feel this Love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of spring water, or take in sunset like supper, those who don't want to change...let them sleep.” –Daniella Maison


“No blood can flow from a wound without passion.” – Carmen Stevenson, author, poetess

KAITIAKITANGA: A Definitive Introduction to the
Holistic World View of the Maori

Thank you for sharing this comprehensive cosomology of the Maori with us SacredOceanicSisterGoddess! It took me awhile to read this. I enjoyed the beautiful wisdoms it espoused. The pictures are truly arresting!

I did not see the sacred masculine or feminine in Tangaroa- god of the sea perhaps in AIO. In Yoruba/Santeria Yemanya goddess of the ocean shares a masculine aspect/twin with Olokun - god of the deep. The Sacred Tree of Life is a symbol of Protection ...it is a whakaruruhau. The 'Tree of Life' in Egypt was represented by 3 sacred lotus lilies, the tamarisk tree, another tree is mentioned and a simple plant- which represented IMMORTALITY. As a planetary family I realized that all spiritual cultural traditions sprang from the fount of Mother Egypt/Ethiopia going further back to Mu and Atlantis, but all are AFRICAN extensions/branches from the Mother Tree of Akebulan. Herein lies the beauty of sharing culture when you KNOW YOUR OWN AND RECOGNIZE THE SIMILIARITIES IN OTHERS.

It is good to share culture but is always a 'good courtesy' to ask about the cultures of others as we both participate in sharing. African and African Americans have many paths in 'THE RELIGION', 5 are known as the FIST. Yoruba, Santeria, Lucumi, Vodun, Obeah, Cummona, Umbanda, Macumba, Candomble, Abacua practiced are in the America's. I am "washed' in Yoruba/Santeria and am a non practicing adherent. The beauty of it is an integral part of my ancestral grounding.

1.Is there a religious order in Pono besides the Kahuna, like healer, priest, teacher or sage?
2. How are you chosen as a Kapuna, is it passed doown through the family or it is a vocation you chose to train for?
A. How long does it take to become a Kapuna?
3. Are there any tipaunas or temples to worship or any spiritual practices or rituals used in song, dance, diet or sacrifice?
4. Are there any supernatural manifestations, miraculous interventions and healings in Pono?
5. Are there any sacred sciences or secret societies that are apart of the Pono tradition?
6. Any sacred places, sacred plants, minerals or animals special to Pono?
7. Are there any Pono holy days that you celebrate?
8. Stories concerning the anitidulivian world of Lemuria and the stones of Mu?
Continue to bless us and grace us with Divine Words.

an AFRICAN-AMERICAN CREATION STORY

THE RETURN OF OSIRIUS
By: Carmen Stevenson

As I lie with him
I hear the pulse of his heart
Beat… it’s rhythm sacred
like the drum,
becomes a song with my own.

I feel the strength of his body
Strong, like the strength of my people.
He is the color of mystery
Black, like the birth of creation.
He is warm like the sun…Africa’s jewel.
His hair like ebony ringlets
provides a halo for a Master Mind.

In his face I see the boy
of his Larger Self Waking.
Here lies the Original Man
A synthesis of Malcolm and Martin.
As I put my head over his heart,
His arms encircle me…I feel eternity.

Then his heart spoke to me and said:
‘Queen of my love’, I have returned to you
for four hundred years I have been held captive
scattered to the four corners of the earth,
decapitated and castrated, crucified
before the world.

You also walked the
‘Valley of the Shadow of Death’.
I could not be there for you then,

For I was not a man…
Alone you bore the weight of caring
for our family, a weight I was denied to share.
I saw in your face ‘My Black Flower’
the determination to survive.

It is through your womb that we yet exist.
In your affliction you saw and understood
My conquered condition.
Your eyes spoke and said
‘I love you still’…
Your love was the resurrection of my Return.

I am the Osirus that lies in the soul
of every Black Man,
who has been redeemed by the love
of a Black woman.
I have climbed from the pit of the beast
and stand with my back unbent.

It is a new day, justice has prevailed
and Amen-Ra has given me my crown
and my throne.
Isis, my queen sit next to me
For I have returned.
