In Session 1: Episode 10, David Wilcock and Corey Goode discussed the importance of the Pineal Gland which is the source of neuro-melanin. Egyptian pharoahs wore two snakes on their crowns to show that they were enlightened. The snakes represented the energy that rises through the spine and ignites in the Pineal Gland. "Melaninated people" are people who have melanin in the skin -- giving them various shades of color. However, everyone has some degree of neuromelanin.
The concept of the two "snakes" of energy rising through the spine to the crown chakra is depicted in the caduceus, the symbol of Western medicine. However, its vital significance for consciousness is never explained!
Amazon says about the book Dark Light Consciousness: Melanin, Serpent Power, and the Luminous Matrix of Reality by Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D.,
​
"Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal connection to the superconscious. Called “Ureaus” in ancient Egyptian texts and “Kundalini” in ancient Hindu yoga traditions, our innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence inhabits the base of the spine in its dormant state. When awakened, it unfurls along the spinal column to the brain, connecting individual consciousness to the consciousness of the universe enfolded within the dark matter of space. At the root of creativity and spiritual genius across innumerable cultures and civilizations, this intelligent force reveals portals that enfold time, space, and the luminous matrix of reality itself.
Combining physics, neuroscience, and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India, Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., explores the ancient Egyptian science of the Ureaus and reveals how it is intimately connected to dark matter and to melanin, a light-sensitive, energy-conducting substance found in the brain, nervous system, and organs of all higher life-forms. He explains how the dark light of melanin serves as the biochemical infrastructure for the subtle energy body, just as dark matter, together with gravity, holds the galaxies and constellations together."
Ma'at: The Concept and Goddess
Much of the information below is from Ma'at | The Goddess Of Truth And Justice.
​
Ma'at (aka Maat) was the ancient Egyptian concept of cosmic order and balance. The philosophy of Ma’at provided guidelines for individuals and the entire culture. As long as the universe revolved around Ma’at, there would be a purity that ensured balance and justice.
Ma’at became the basis of Egyptian culture. Ancient Egyptians considered their society and religion to be "Ma'at", while the wilderness and other cultures were considered chaotic and unjust. The Ma'at concept was personified as the goddess of truth and justice. From the earliest eras in Egypt, people considered her as essential for the stability of life. She represented truth, justice, harmony and balance. The opposite of chaos, Ma’at gave order to nature and society. Reaching beyond being simply a goddess,
Ma’at became a focus for leadership, philosophy, and law.
​
Role as a Goddess
By representing order, Ma’at became the most important goddess of ancient Egypt. Egyptians saw Ma’at as an everlasting goddess. Ma’at ruled everything. Every day she helped Ra steer his boat across the sky, making a path for the sun. She was the partner of Thoth and the mother of the eight deities known as the Chief Gods and Goddesses of Hermopolis. Beyond being the force which kept Egypt functioning as an orderly society, Ma’at held an important role in the afterlife for which she served as each soul's judge. Ma'at's ability to view truth and justice was key in judging a soul.
The many different names of Ma’at give an idea of her importance to Egyptian society.
Egyptians referred to Ma’at as:
-
Eye of Ra
-
Mistress of the Underworld
-
Queen of the Earth
-
Lady of Heaven
-
Lady of the Gods and Goddesses
Ma’at ruled everything.
​
Goddess Over All Creation
Historians found the first written accounts of Ma’at in the Pyramid Texts, written between 2375 and 2345 BCE. However, the divine concept of the goddess is a much older idea. Ma’at is a central figure in the Egyptian creation story. She was with her father Ra on his celestial barque, or sailing boat, as he came from the waters with the Egyptian gods and goddesses.
Egyptians saw Ra as the most important god in Egyptian society. He made Ma'at even more important by standing on her pedestal to establish all creation. This placed Ma’at as the order that transformed chaos into creation. She ruled both gods and people. Over time, Ma’at developed beyond being simply the daughter of Ra and responsible for order to being the reason that the universe existed. Historical texts transform Ma'at from a goddess to actually being creation.
Some of her other responsibilities include:
-
Relationships
-
The cycle of seasons
-
The movements of the sun, moon and stars
-
All parts of religion
-
How people behaved
-
The positive characteristics of men
-
Rulers, leaders and judges
-
The afterlife
Judge of Souls: Basis of Law
Egyptians believed that if a pharaoh did not follow Ma’at, the chaos would return and destroy the world. Many pharaohs wanted to show that Ma’at blessed them and that they were everything Ma’at represented. Wanting to be seen as good leaders, they would often call themselves the “Lords of Ma’at.” This showed that they had truth and justice in their hearts.
​
After death, Ma’at would judge the hearts of the dead in Osiris’s Judgment Halls of the Dead. Ma’at would weigh the heart of each person against the weight of her ostrich feather. If the heart weighed the same or less than the feather, they were considered just and worthy of continuing into the Duat, or everlasting afterlife. If the scales indicated that the heart was heavier than the feather, then the person was shown to not be a follower of Ma’at during his or her life. The consequence of this was that the deceased was refused an afterlife.
​
Because Egyptians saw Ma'at as the judge of souls in the afterlife, Egyptian judges based Egyptian law on the teachings of Ma'at. The spirit of Ma'at became the idea behind how Egyptian judges applied justice. Starting in the fifth dynasty, Egyptians referred to the head of justice as the "Priest of Ma'at." After 2370 BCE, judges continued to wear the image of Ma'at while on duty. Egyptian judges believed that justice and fairness equaled peace and harmony. In order to have a peaceful society, justice through Ma'at was very important.
