The Neteru are the Gods of Egypt. They are the embodiments of the divine principles of nature, forces of maintenance and creation that emanate from a far more ancient consciousness.
Our word "nature" holds its origins within the word Neter, which was the Egyptian name for their Gods. This connection can help us gain a deeper insight into the wisdom of these deities. As understanding them as divine natural forces that span throughout the universe, creating, supporting and influencing all, allows us to interact with to what would otherwise be invisible energies.
We can connect to them as the many faces or energetic qualities of the One God, Source. They show us the varied qualities of Divinity. To put it simply, the Neteru are the many archetypes of a far more ancient mind. They are all the ways and faces that source experiences Self. If we work with the law of as above so below, through observation of what is seen, we can start to grasp the workings of the unseen realms. The Ancient Egyptians understood man to be a microcosm of the Universe, and through knowing himself he could also know the universe. The many energies which make up source are indeed the many faces and forces of our own psyche. They are the Archetypes of nature and can so are indeed the archetypes of our own nature, the aspects of self to be discovered within our own psyche. The mythologies of The Neteru provide us with a connection point into much deeper blueprints and patterns that we will experience throughout our journey through form. Knowing ourselves as an aspect of divinity, and connecting to our own God self is the path that the Neteru walk us down.
If we learn the archetype of each Neteru, we can see through our thoughts, actions, deeds and words who is playing out within us at any given moment. We could never exist outside these energies, and at any given time we are living through certain aspects of them. If we strip it back to the energies they embody and read the myths with the intention of seeing how energies interact with each other we can start to gain insight into the alchemy that occurs within our own consciousness as different forces arise.
In the same way that nature goes through alchemical transformations so does our psyche. We can see the deep processes the caterpillar enters into becoming a butterfly, or the stone as its transformed into a diamond. However, living in a time of instant, external gratification we have been largely driven away from all understanding of our inner realms and the alchemical workings of life through our own psyche.
This is where the ancient mythologies and energies of the Egyptian Gods can offer us, at the very least, a framework for mapping the various stages and states we will pass through as our soul journeys through human form. They demonstrate to us the many archetypes that make up our psyche and the aspects of ourself that we may come across and have to face as we walk ourselves back to source.
This is a journey back to the self, through all the layers of distortion that we have built up over life times. The mythologies and the stories of the ancients hold within them keys to us understanding our own divine nature and how we can start to co-create with wider energies of the cosmos. The pathway to knowing ourselves truly, is knowing ourselves as this divine source energy. Always home within the unified field.
Egypt acts as an entry point for many, and despite having many layers, it does not have to be complicated. It is an accessible way to enter into the deeper mysteries of the Universe, of nature and of our souls journey through form. The Neteru offer us a roadmap through life, a pathway which provides us with the opportunity to explore the richness of ourself through this human vessel.
They act as a bridge between what is unknown and what is known, showing us the layers we will encounter along this path. The natural forces that we are all subject to, yet our society has little to no understanding of. Specific archetypes teach us about specific natural laws and its embodied function. We learn not to identify as any of them, but graciously accept their guidance as we are walked back home.
