Figure 21: Atoms become molecules and molecules compose all matter Further, modern science has discovered that even objects of the world which appear to be separate,

such as human beings, are in reality “exchanging pieces of each other” on a continuous basis. That is to say, every time we breathe out we are expelling atoms and molecules from our internal organs. Therefore, every time we breathe, we are sharing pieces of our bodies with other people and with the environment. For example, air that is breathed by someone in India may be breathed by someone in the United States two days later and vise versa. Thus, the physical world which appears to have defined boundaries is only an illusion. In reality, the world is one interrelated mass of atoms and en- ergy which is being “caused” to move and interact by some “unknown” force.

The Ancient Mystical Philosophy of an all encompassing “force” that binds the universe together was espoused thousands of years ago in the Egyptian philosophy of SEKHEM, the Indian idea of 172/524

PRANA, the Chinese idea of CHI and in the philosophies of other cultures. Philosophy further states that this “FORCE” can be controlled through mental discipline. Modern science has now, based on scientific evidence, postulated the existence of a substance called “DARK MATTER” which is de- scribed as an “unseen, unfelt substance that makes up to 99% of the Universe.” This means that not only is the world one interrelated mass, but that it is a part of the greater mass called the “Universe.” This theory supports the ancient philosophical idea that the “Created” Universe really does not exist except as perceived through the mind of the individual. It is a manifestation of the Supreme Being that ebbs and flows in a time frame that encompasses an untold number (perhaps billions) of years. It is “created” and “destroyed” periodically. This supports the theory of a “BIG BANG” and the “Expanding-Contracting Model of the Universe.” The last “Creation” is thought by scientists to have occurred several billions of years ago. In the future, they theorize that the universe will close in on it- self (contract), and all the planets, stars, etc. will return one point, as represented by the point in the symbol of Ra . Then, a new “creation” or big bang will occur again.

This is the same information stated in age-old philosophical scriptures dating from the beginning of “historical” times. Those who are alive now will not witness the “dissolution” since it is theorized that it will not occur for millions of years in the future, however, the implications of what it means are crucial to the understanding of the nature of reality (the cosmos) with which humans are intim- ately related. In fact, Ancient Mystical Philosophy states that the “Created” universe is only an ap- pearance for the generation of a stage upon which the human experience may occur. In addition, this “illusion” that has been created by our conditioned minds, is a “reality” only to the extent that we “believe” in it.

Thus, reality appears to be a relative idea. Ancient Mystical Philosophy states that the true essence of things can be seen by the liberated mind which sees what lies beyond the information given by the senses and that those whose minds are not liberated will experience the “physical” world as if it really “exists.” For example: there is no blue sky. It only appears to be blue because of the limited human sense of vision.

Modern science has now accepted that so called “physical reality” cannot exist outside of the person conducting the experiments. An older theory held that the person conducting the experiment could be considered separate and apart from the phenomena being observed. Modern science now holds that nature and all phenomena occur because of an experimenters ability to conceptualize the phenomena and to interpret it. Therefore, the observer is part of the phenomena being observed. Consequently, modern science now uses a new term for the experimenter. The new term is Participant. Thus, the ex- perimenter is really a participant in the experiment because his or her consciousness conceives, de- termines, perceives, interprets and understands it. No experiment or observed phenomena in nature can occur without someone to conceive that something is happening, determine that something is happening, perceive that something is happening (through instruments or the senses), and finally to interpret what has happened and to understand that interpretation. Therefore, the most recent theory in modern physics is that matter, that is to say creation, is composed of not only energy in varying 173/524

degrees of density (vibration), but that it is “intelligent,” or it might be better understood by saying that matter and energy are manifestations of Cosmic Intelligence (consciousness).

The hieroglyphs for the Ancient Egyptian term “Ukhedu” provide further insight into the nature of the concept of disease. The term may be precisely defined as “decay or disease process” and the de- terminative sign relates to “pustule” which releases “pus” or a “boil.” Notably, the three vertic- al lines under the main symbol which looks like an egg, signifies that the sign is plural, meaning ex- cess, additional, etc. In its singular form the pus symbol denotes either, , pus contained in a pocked or sac of the body tissues or , , pus that is coming out of the pocket or sac, i.e. oozing material. Acne is a form of Ukhedu and this is one reason why a sensitive person can discern the emotional and physical condition of another by looking at the face. The face either shines or dims with the presence or absence of the Life Force energy, and the Life Force is affected by the presence or absence of the Ukhedu.

pus·tule n. 1. A small inflamed elevation of the skin that is filled with pus; a

pimple. 2. A small swelling similar to a blister or pimple. 3. Something likened to an inflamed, pus-filled lesion.71

pus (p¾s) n. A generally viscous, yellowish-white fluid formed in infected tissue, consisting of white blood cells, cellular debris, and necrotic tissue.72

boil (boil) n. A painful, circumscribed pus-filled inflammation of the skin and sub-

cutaneous tissue usually caused by a local staphylococcal infection. Also called furuncle.73

ac·ne (²k“n¶) n. An inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles of the skin that is marked by the eruption of pimples or pustules, espe- cially on the face. 74

Additional examples of words using the determinative sign will provide insight into the meaning of the

Pus or mucus is seen as the negative by-product of an abundance of Ukhedu in the
