Last year’s discovery of a 3,400-year-old city near Luxor in Egypt has been hailed as one of the most important archaeological finds since Tutankhamun's tomb nearly a century ago.
 
This was the largest of ancient Egyptian cities and named "tehn Aten," or the dazzling Aten. It has also been dubbed the "lost golden city" that was searched for (but never found) back in 1935 by a French excavation team. Only about a third of it has been excavated so far.
 
The team uncovered mud bricks stamped with Pharaoh Amenhotep III's name. That helped them estimate the city was built 3,400 years ago. The city dates to the reign of Amenhotep III, one of Egypt's most powerful – and wealthiest - pharaohs, who ruled from 1391 to 1353 BC. He was the father of Akhenaten and grandfather of Tutankhamun and, most significantly, it was he who introduced his son to the Sun Disc they called the Aten.
 
According to one of the researchers, the city was Amenhotep III's “love letter to the god Aten.” When ancient Egyptian kings built, they would dedicate their construction to a deity and associate themselves with it - in this case, the solar deity.
 
Aten was depicted as the Sun Disc. Archaeologists typically associated the Aten with Amenhotep III's son, Akhenaten (whose birth name was actually Amenhotep IV), who worshipped Aten instead of the chief Egyptian god of the sun and air, Amun. This discovery shows that Amenhotep III believed in Aten too, which explains why the Pharoah named the city "tehn Aten," meaning the dazzling Aten.
 
What the team unearthed was the site of a large city in a good condition of preservation, with almost complete walls, and with rooms filled with tools of daily life. The dig revealed a large number of valuable archaeological finds, such as rings and other jewellery, coloured pottery, scarab beetle amulets (pictured above) and mud bricks bearing seals of Amenhotep III.
 
Several areas or neighbourhoods have now been uncovered, including a bakery, an administrative district and a residential area. The team also found wine caskets in the city and containers of dried meat from the butchers. The archaeological work continues and there is much more yet to be found, including more to the back story of the Aten.

25 December is symbolically revered by Christians around the world as the day that Jesus Christ was born, bringing light and hope into the world. My favourite historical era was Ancient Rome and back then they celebrated the same date as a festival called Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, meaning the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun. Going back centuries before that, it was shared around Persia, Egypt and Greece as the birthdate of Adonis, Mithras and Osiris, among others. The solar deity of Ancient Rome actually had two titles: Sol Indiges, the ‘invoked or native Sun’ and Sol Invictus, the Unconquered Sun.
 
Sol Invictus represents the birth of a Spiritual Sun which lights the souls of people. In addition to being the Sun behind the physical Sun we see in the sky, it also represents the inner Sun which is born within us as we take our first breath upon incarnation into this world. I have called it in my articles the Solar Heart – it is the unseen Heart within us that draws the Vital Life Force – the Light, Life and Love of the Cosmic into our Soul.
 
The parallels between “Christian and pagan” traditional celebrations on 25 December are neither a coincidence nor a contradiction, but reflect the merging of beliefs and customs over time. Christmas preserves the traditions our forebears started so long ago: gift-giving and feasts from the Romans; wreaths and evergreen trees from the pagans; visits from Santa Claus in the Western countries later. From the Celts to the Christians and the Vikings to the Victorians, they have all added traditions to the rich tapestry of the holiday we call Christmas.
 
This does not detract at all from the Christian perspective – it is a fitting time to celebrate the birth of Christ… most importantly, it is a celebration of birth and life!

At the time of writing – on the last day of November 2021 – a number of articles are appearing in the mainstream press carrying statements from scientists that up to half the water on Earth originates in the Sun. The source is a new paper published in the journal Nature Astronomy, by a team of researchers from the UK, Australia and America.
 
Basically they are saying water is, or was, brought here on Solar Winds. One analysis prefers to think that it is a kind of alchemy, whereby hydrogen atoms from the Sun hit other particles of cosmic dust and convert them to H2O.
 
The Sun contains every known element, including oxygen and hydrogen. In most parts it is too hot to form molecules, but in the cooler places, for example those that exist in the middle of sunspots, molecules of H2O do indeed form. There may not be oceans there, because of the temporary nature of sunspots, but nevertheless, water does exist on the Sun.
 
One article that appears in The Conversation ends by saying: “So, while sipping your next glass of water, ponder the curious thought that Earth derived up to half its water from the Sun.” Not so much food for thought, as liquid for thought!

According to an article published by Ancient Origins this week, archaeologists have uncovered stone blocks that are helping them piece together the history of the once magnificent and extraordinary temple, dedicated to the Sun god Ra in the El-Matariya area of Cairo’s upmarket suburb of Heliopolis. Heliopolis, which literally means the “City of the Sun,” was one of the oldest cities of ancient Egypt, being occupied since the Predynastic Period (circa 6000 – 3000 BC).

The inscriptions on some of the blocks mention the regnal years 13 and 14 (366/365 BC) as well as the dimensions and the materials used. From this it can be concluded that they belong to the reign of King Nactanebo I (379-363 BC), also known as Nakhtnebef, the founder of the 30th Dynasty, the last dynasty of native rulers of Egypt.

Some fragments of a statue of King Ramesses II, a part of a baboon statue, a statue base and pieces of a quartzite obelisk of King Osorkon I were also found as were some worship facilities such as an offering table of Thutmose III (1479-1425 BC). These indicate that royal support and investment in the Temple of the Sun and creator god at Heliopolis continued uninterrupted. The excavation work provided additional evidence for the 30th Dynasty and the Ptolemaic Period (the rule of the Macedonian Greek 33rd Dynasty from 305 BC to30 BC) at the site.

Two months ago, I quoted a short excerpt from the Great Hymn to Aten - one of the most influential writings of Ancient Egypt - which bears witness to Pharoah Akhenaten’s profound connection with the essence of the Sun. Here is a little more of it:

“You created the sky far away in order to ascend to it,
to witness everything You created.
You are alone, shining in your form of the living Aten.
Risen, radiant, distant and near.
You made millions of forms from yourself alone:
cities, towns, fields, and the river's course.
All eyes see You above them
as the Aten of the daytime on high.
When You are gone, (...) your eye is gone (...)
which You have made {for their sake}
But even then You are in my heart
and there is no other who knows You,
only your son, Nefer-kheperu-Re, Sole-one-of-Re,
whom You have taught your ways and your might.
The ones on Earth come into being by your hand,
in the way You made them.
When You rise, they live.
When You set, they die.
You yourself are lifetime itself,
one lives through You.
All eyes rest on beauty until You set.
All labor ceases when You rest in the West.
When You rise, You make all arms firm for the King,
every leg is on the move since You founded the Earth,
You rouse them for your son, who emerged from your body.”

We should stay mindful of the fact that the Earth and the Sun are not separate bodies whizzing around in space – we, along with the Sun, the other planets, moons and asteroids, are part of a huge cosmic bubble called the Heliosphere. Think of a balloon or inflatable beach ball that has a star hovering right in its centre, and a number of smaller bodies within the ball orbiting in formation around that centre – all being part of the one large sphere.

Today I read the latest Head Overseer’s Message from Cosolargy (which is available on their website and Facebook) – it included the following words: “The physical sun contains the regulatory forces that govern the solar system. The planet responds to the sun, is regulated and governed by the sun, and all life is dictated by that sun. The earth does not have the potential to create life – only the sun does. As the earth cannot live without the sun, the sun cannot live without its source of energy and information from a higher Sun beyond it.”

For a short (just over a minute) video showing the mapping of the Heliosphere, see below. This is our home.

I have just watched a two-hour movie put together by David Wilcock and Gorey Goode called The Cosmic Secret in which they endorse the idea that The Event will be set in motion by the Sun.
 
Two years ago in October 2019, I wrote a blog titled Will the Sun Lash Out at Us? on my Southern Sunlight blogsite. The Cosmic Secret acknowledges that the archetypal Force known as Ra will be responsible for solar storms that will initiate the Event. There have been colourful aurorae appearing in the skies well away from the north and south poles – moving in the direction of the equator – and Corey Goode has tweeted that this is exactly what is expected to occur when the great solar event is imminent.
 
To read more on this matter, please follow this link to read the new installment in my Series, Return of the Superhumans – Part VI: Apollo in Our World.

Today I have published Part V of my ongoing series of articles, titled the Return of the Superhumans, which I invite you to read. It begins with the following paragraph:

For many centuries now, esoteric teachings have informed us that otherworldly masters dwell on the plane directly above us, often at ‘sites’ that coincide with Earthly locations such as the Himalayas, Mt Kailash, Mt Shasta and the Gobi Desert. There have been numerous sightings of floating ethereal cities in the sky, particularly over China. At the time of writing, there is a mention on the ExoPolitics website of gigantic city-size structure called the Ashtar Command base, permanently hovering 72 miles above the Earth. (I am not sure whether this is the same structure as what is known as the Black Knight Satellite).

My readers are sure to have their own opinion as to whether those who are observing us ‘from above’ are flesh-and-blood beings, or – as I suggest – interdimensional entities whose ‘bodies’ consist of an ethereal substance.

But most of us who are “waking up” consciously at this important time know, at least intuitively, that our present cycle is coming to an end and look forward to public disclosure about those who are watching over and influencing us. Please follow your heart, do your own research – and read along with me as I share my perspective.

This week I am writing the next article of my series, the Return of the Superhumans. The current topic is a critical issue – looking at how it is possible for non-human (disembodied) intelligent beings to physically interact with flesh-and-blood humans. While reviewing some of the source material I have on file, I came across a You Tube about a Peruvian by the name of Enrique Villanueva. His story is quite relevant to my theme today and here is a link to that video for interested readers.

In 1988 Enrique joined Rahma - an organization founded by Sixto Paz Wells in the 1970s - and was initiated into the protocol for ‘contact.’ Enrique explains that he has had face-to-face meetings with multi-dimensional beings and, on their advice, he put forth serious dedication and concentration into reaching a higher level of consciousness.

The narrative accompanying the video states: “A food disorder would lead him to seeking other healing practices and so he learned how to Sun gaze, an Incan practice of staring at the Sun to receive its energy. He would do this for two years and survive without eating food.”

I expect to complete the next article at the end of this week.

Most people are familiar with the opening paragraphs of the Bible, in which God says, “Let there be light.” Another theme that features in the Book of Genesis is that of separation. For example, light is separated from dark, and later day is separated from night. He separates the water on the Earth from the water above the expanse / sky – a concept which most readers dismiss without trying to understand it.

There are legends – which can still be found in writing today, in Compendium Augumentum and Codex Lugubrum - alleging that this separation took the form of an entity known as Il Separatio (meaning The Separation). The story is told of Il Separatio and the warrior called Ashor in one book, and Amantes in the other. Let’s use the name Ashor.

Ashor had done just as much good as he had done evil during his time. When he was wounded and in danger of losing his life, a demon and an angel both began to fight over his soul, but Il Separatio appeared and sent them away, wielding his neutrality. The demon claimed that Ashor was his and belonged with him in Hell as a result of his evil deeds; the angel claimed that the warrior had done a lot of good, therefore he was his to take with him in Heaven. When Il Separatio appeared, he simply said that the man had done just as much good as he had done evil and, as a result, neither of the other two could have him.

It was the fact that Il Separatio exercised such absolute power that scared the Church, causing them to destroy most books about the entity over the centuries.  

The story goes that, once the angel and the demon had left, Ashor's wounds healed up and he was restored to his appearance as it was at the ideal age of 30, becoming immortal and endowed with great power. So he was then virtually a Demi-god, or Superhuman, doing whatever he wanted and traveling wherever he pleased just by using the power of his mind.

The legends tell that he could transport himself to other worlds— including on the Sun, and inside the Sun.

There is so much hidden meaning in this story to be unravelled.
