akhnaton@egroups from 2000/08/02

The following chapter starts with a 2000/08/01 post and then goes back to earlier posts

Abbie sums up the general opinion about KV55: case closed! after Daniel in #224 mentioning 'latest investigations' that conclude against the identification of Akhnaton's mummy in KV55. Yet we can expect for other opportunities to declare the finding of an Akhnaton's body somewhere in the present national Egypt.

Daniel sums up the general opinion about:
1) The Apiru = still a mystery
2) The banishment of Nefertiti = still a mystery, I guess a second degree mystery: Egyptologists say that Nefertiti was Egyptian, but they are not sure - they say that "they are sure that she was not from Greece because she was Egyptian but they are not sure". It looks like an emotional point, similar with KV55 case.
3) Information about hallucinogens = according to Tom Simms; but Tom Simms is known from amarna@egroups - he is mostly a behaviorist officer performing the negative debasement of the scientific discourse (a principle of the path of truth as seen through the metaphor); to be noticed also that one of the rare moment when this Cerberus was not insulting was when he showed respect to Fred for his knowledge about entheogens (aka psychodysleptic drugs).

Focus on http://www.egroups.com/message/akhnaton/222

Fred improves the info about entheogens - that is hallucinogens possibly including opiates and emetics. I think that he adds a controversial point of view:
Since "some people (who) had experimented with ingesting mandrake root and the only effect they reported was extreme nausea. (he, Fred) suppose(s) over time that the psychoactive properties of these plants may have de-evolved". Yet he does not mention equally the possibility that modern people's reaction to these plants may have de-evolved too. Yet Fred must know that the psychological set of an individual highly interferes with any entheogenic effects.

   This motivates me for my personal sum up on this matter: we, modern people, are highly deprived from entheogenic experience. The limited population that is or has been experienced is living in a world where prohibition lays on their Psyche. Meanwhile we pretend to tackle the issue of Akhnaton's psychology - while there is also good set of evidence how ergot and/or other entheogenics have been extremely important, as a sacrament, for Christianity and deductively for Moses, Akhnaton and probably the memory of 'plagues' in the fate of Amarna etc..
   Now, for the small amount of people who are experiencing entheogens, whatever different their experience may be, it is a permanent evidence that effects of these chemicals are major on Knowledge, beliefs and power relationship. This may be hardly perceived by brains that are not initiated. Today, if a President would dare to take drugs he would be shot, and its Academics and Historians would be unable to perceive and teach anything of that casuistic. So how can we believe that we are not missing the point with Akhnaton as long as we neglect, omit, forget that his psychology was affected by a factor that we repress within our own brains?
   Adrian ridicules the intellectuals who pretend to any truth by their own monadic ego - he understands well the 'catch22' bound. But even he who perceives so much - as he speaks about shamen - also asks about Egyptians: "when did they start to use these cogitatiogens (entheogens) and what for?"    Egyptians never 'started' - entheogens had always been there, and one must not ignore the Cybernetics - as entheogenics industry - of the ego that Adrian imagines or identifies as a person? If the role of All Chemistry in Amarna in neglected, one may accuse its host to be a tyrant as present inquisitors of the prohibition accusing late T.Leary to be a criminal.

   At that point we continue back in list to

   Abbie largely opens hes mind; and suspects how the linear thinkers - as we have begun to call the mental Behaviorists ascetics - are looking for a cover up and a false alibi with KV55. If KV55 is "the key to what happened in those times" - as Claude or Adrian suggest in #221 - it may open as many doors as Velikovsky indicates, when he saw such mind-control operation predicted by Sophocles; the Athenian publishing thus being the antidote against the Magical spell plotted by Oedipus' enemies (in OEDIPUS AT COLONUS and ANTIGONE: see the Theban priesthood planning to use one of Oedipus' son as an idol - as Tut today - and to convinced the world that Oedipus did not leave the country - as a finding of Akhnaton assassinated could do).
   Yet, since we close, here with KV55, the loop back to post #226 above, it is not without catching one of these fish, slip or wits, that the Unconscious provides at the center of such spiral circuits, for Abbie didn't mean drug power when she wrote about "a human power-plant" - my English is just good enough to understand that she did not mean ergoted crop but something more like an atomic electricity factory or so. So, let's continue to explore the root of Trismegistus, patron of Alchemy.

In http://www.egroups.com/message/akhnaton/230 Fred informs with his investigation about Savitri Devi. Following my #204 where I praise Savitri - as in several other occasions - and write that she developed "a political perspective that is very healthy," Fred reports his finding of her political action as "Hitler's High Priestess." It is all new information for me and I imagine that I understand why the AMORC Publisher was so reticent to give me information when I questioned them after her book was published in France. Savitri was controversial. I link the case to the Synarchy affair:
In 1989, I wrote: Quand Fabre d'O ou Saint Y d'A parlent de Synarchie ou de Programme Social Antique; il s'agit de "l'initiation par le mensonge" que j'ai tenté de montrer, 'logique' capable de redresser, corriger voire gérer une économie de l'erreur - English : When Fabre d'Olivet and/or St Yves d'Alveydres spoke about Synarchy, or Antique Social Program, they refer to the "initiation through lie" that I have tried to show, a 'logic' that could correct and/or deal with an Economy of Error. By 'economy of error', I meant what Adrian refers to in term of analysis of the failure of Enlightenment. I don't make a person responsible for it, but a trial that humankind undergoes - probably originating with a trauma resulting from cosmic events; it is also carried within our language (through metaphor of the 'negative'). Later I came across more information about the Synarchy during the 20th century and its probable role WW II. Its links with Hermetism is nearly obvious - according to a pattern that F.Yates mentioned as resulting of Bruno's failure in the constitution of Europe. It is a constant flame that burns in Adrian's emotion when he compares Akhnaton with Hitler. Personally, I think that we find good and bad everywhere - but I thank Fred and I wish to honor him in calling Savitri henceforth, Savitri Devil.
