Strive to see with the inner eye, the heart. It sees the reality not subject to emotional or personal error; it sees the essence.
Images are nearer reality than words. Picture symbols are the idea, words are confusion.

In Ancient Egypt The judgement of the deceased was performed in The Hall of Maat. This was done by weighing the deceased's heart against the feather of Maat. If the Principles of Maat were respected during his/her life, the the deceased was deemed to be worthy of meeting Osiris in the after life. If the heart of the deceased was found to be heavier then the feather of Maat it would be devoured by Ammut.
The Christian religion got the 10 Commandments from these Principles.

Which ancient civilization are you


Egyptians
My Personal favorite. You are of the people whom built the amazing Pyramids in Egypt and worshipped the sun god as your major god.

There are two images of GOD - Cosmos and Humankind.
GOD is in the Self or nowhere else,
if it is found in the Self it will be found EVERYWHERE
GOD is not Mind, but Cause that the Mind is;
GOD is not Spirit, but Cause that Spirit is;
GOD is not Light, but Cause that Light is.
