It was explained (and remains) that the Sophia (and the entirety of existence) lives and functions as a permeation of all things - in every dimension of itself as one of the most significant components of all levels of creation, visible and invisible. The only constant is that everything is always changing and unfolding and overlapping in this divine life-rebirth-unfoldment process through all existence and is called analepsis (the divine manifestations of many events taking place). There are multiple worlds found in the parallel universes AND unfolding symmetry within the similarity of the continuous unfoldment of the self - the human self - is a complete reflection of even the unfoldment of all worlds in all existence (note: our body is the world and host to numerous cells and organisms that hold consciousness and have memory and function in specific to what we introduce to it and to how it responds and creates in-kind: WE ARE THE CREATOR OF AN INTERNAL ORGANIC CREATION - A UNIVERSE AND WE, INDIVIDUALS, GODS). The idea of being a god is relative to, and ONLY, in the fact that everything in our bodies functions for us and ultimately, we decide what happens to our bodies. We choose to consume and the exert through our bodies and our bodies, along with some varying parts of the situations and relationships of our lives, serve us. (Note: The meaning of the word God is an entity to whom sacrifices are made. Christ and all the sacred scriptures that use the word God are denoting that there is an organism that we are a part of and that we are functioning to serve the organism. [Very personally, I do not regard a God with reasoning that it may not be the wisest of all source. I acknowledge THE ONE SOURCE Ain Soph, where the light descends from. Further, Amen, at the end of prayer is explained as such (I do not end prayer with Amen, rather, I say I love you and I thank you - I AM.). From nairaland, a historical reference of the word Amen.: Christians Christians say either Ahh-men or Ay-men. The Ahh-men pronunciation tends to be a bit more formal and used in liturgy, choral music, etc. An example can be heard in the closing part of Handels Messiah Worthy is the Lamb2. The Ahh-men in the final chorus is repeated dozens of times, runs to six pages in a typical choral score, and usually takes around 3 minutes 40 seconds to sing. The Ay-men pronunciation is often associated with evangelical Christians and gospel singing. Unlike Handels Messiah, the gospel chorus Amen has only five words, all the same (Ay----men, Ay----men, Ay----men, Ay-men, Ay--men.) yet can take much longer to perform as it is repeated over and over again, bringing the congregation into harmony. Jews For Jews, Amen is also an acronym for El Melech Neeman, which means Mighty, Faithful King. Muslims Muslims use Amen (Amin or Ameen) in the same way as Christians and Jews, even though the word does not appear in the Quran. Muslims say it after reciting Surah al-Fatihah, after completing their prayers, at the end of letters, etc. Buddhists and Hindus Many Buddhists and Hindus also use Amen at the end of prayers and as concurrence in the same way as the other religions. But where did it all begin? Pagans From old Egyptian texts we can see that people regarded the Sun as the emblem of the Creator. They called the Sun Ra, and all other gods and goddesses were forms of the Creator. One of these gods was Amen; a secret, hidden and mysterious god named variously Amen, Amon, Amun, Ammon and Amounra. For the first eleven dynasties (c. 3000-1987 B.C.) Amen was just a minor god, but by the 17th dynasty (c. 1500 B.C.) he had been elevated to be the national god of southern Egypt. This position gave Amen the attributes and characteristics of the most ancient gods, and his name became Amen-Ra, that is, a supreme form of God the Creator. By the 18th Dynasty (1539-1295 B.C.) a college had been established to study Amen-Ra and as a focal point for worship. The Jews settled in Egypt for around 400 years4 from 1847 B.C. and during this sojourn there is no doubt they would have been fully exposed to the worship of Amen-Ra. By the time of their exodus from Egypt in 1447 B.C., Amen would certainly be in their language even if it was not their god. It would be a word that had associations with reverence and majesty. This is not difficult to understand. People still talk about Moses, Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha, and often use those names completely out of context as expletives. Amen was seen as a powerful god and the name continued, out of context, as an exclamation or salutation; a classic example of language evolution. From the Jews, the word was adopted by Christians, Muslims and others. So Amen was originally the name of a Pagan god, who was considered a form of God the Creator. But he was certainly not considered God, or Christ. Interestingly, most Pagans today tend not to use the word, preferring instead to say So mote it be, an old Anglo-Saxon term. Perhaps they see the word Amen in the Bible and the Tanakh and dont want to be associated with Christianity or the like. Indeed, in the Bible3 we see Jesus Christ referred to as The Amen. Christ is Gods Amen to all that he has spoken. Thereby the name used for an old Egyptian god is replaced by the same name used for Christ. Like many other words used in religion, (or art, mathematics, medicine, etc) its easy to believe that our ancestors saw no point in creating new vocabulary when existing and familar words could be recycled. Yet some people are vehemently protective of things and believe Amen is a Biblical word which is also found in the Tanakh and in Islam, and happens to sound like the name of a Pagan god. Others believe it is an Islamic word that can also be found in the Bible and Tanakh. And so on. The whole issue is hotly debated and any Pagan link denied by many. Who knows how many accidental or deliberate mistranslations have crept in over the centuries. Those who believe that God is the Great Mathematician will no doubt point to the numeric value of Amen: Finally, we may note that the word Amen occurs not infrequently in early Christian inscriptions, and that it was often introduced into anathemas and gnostic spells. Moreover, as the Greek letters which form Amen according to their numerical values total 99 (alpha=1, mu=40, epsilon=8, nu=50), this number often appears in inscriptions, especially of Egyptian origin, and a sort of magical efficacy seems to have been attributed to its symbol. (Catholic Encyclopedia Vol. 1; 1907) Nowhere in the Bible, the Tanakh or the Quran can we find words to suggest one can be redeemed by merely uttering a magic word. Whether Amen is magic, rooted in a Pagan deity, originally a Christian word, a Muslim word, a Jewish word, or anything else, the question is the same: So what? When Christians, Jews and Muslims say Amen, they do not invoke any god or any power just by saying that word or indeed any other word. Amen does not even make other words more sincere. But Amen, like all the other language we use, helps us to focus on what we mean in our hearts. And that is the answer to So what? What really matters is what is said by the heart. The source of article; seiyaku/customs/amen.html Further: Amen is perhaps a word like no other. It is certainly used hundreds of millions of times daily to conclude prayer or supplication to omnipotent beings, and as a way to acknowledge the spiritual presence of something, or some “other” than one’s self. But from where did “amen” originate? And from what history or tradition? Etymologically, the word’s root is Hebrew in origin, with its use spreading to eventually encompass Christianity and Islam. Amen is found in the Bible, of course, but also in the Quran and in Hinduism. Amen is a shared response to liturgical rites and a means of affirming sacred scripture. Beyond Judaism, in the fading mists of early history, the word can be traced to ancient Egypt and a particular line of pharaohs, that of the Amun or Amen –hotep lineage. While there is absolutely no historical proof for the patriarch Abraham, there is plenty of evidence for the existence of four rulers of the Amen –hotep line. The last of these, Amen –hotep IV is today known as the heretic king, the most ancient ruler to whom history can attribute another origin, that of monotheistic belief. Amen –hotep IV, or Akhenaten as he is known, founded his new religion at the expense of the Egyptian neteru, the many faces of the trinity Amen – Ra – Horus, all of whom were banned under his short, ten-year rule, their images defaced and their temples destroyed. During an indeterminate period of the Amen –hotep lineage the first Biblical character with a historically verifiable presence joined the Egyptian court. The biblical Joseph was perhaps a contemporary of Akhenaten (Amen –hotep IV) or of his forbears. The influences of monotheistic thought on this Semitic addition to the court of the Amen –hoteps could well have carried forward as an early form of proto-Judaism. Though religious leaders will scoff at the coincidence of the relationship of the word amen to its royal forbear, it is virtually certain that much of the Hebrew language, as well as Aramaic, was derived from earlier Egyptian. In fact, at the time of Moses, a distinct Hebrew language had only recently come into existence. Moses, the Prince of Egypt, likely spoke Egyptian which made him unintelligible to the fledgling Hebrew population. In the Bible God suggests that Aaron speak for Moses, not because he stuttered, as biased scholars would have it, but because Moses needed an interpreter to speak to his Hebrew flock. The very usage today of the word “amen” is an interesting conundrum. Is amen a holy affirmation, or is it simply a part of our collective memory of history’s first monotheist, the Pharaoh Akhenaten?

Also, it is explained that mystery of the Christ and the way Christed entity shows up changes and is not understandable to even the most evolved human being because of the limits imposed by embodiment. The appearance of the Christed entity appears how Christs knows an individual or a situation will understand it or understand it/his message. It cannot be explained in a way that is comprehensible. It cannot be explained through generations of story-telling or by any means of human communication. The Christed entity, Sophia, and all of existence is ever-changing and whose meaning becomes fuller and fuller in its unfoldment and its points of connection and dynamics. THE UNDERSTANDING OF ALL OF EXISTENCE HAS TO BE EXPERIENCED. It is explained that the in divine sonship, as a discipline, the many things, symbols, sacred geometric shapes and information, mathmatics, and numbers are revealed and that only by Light consciousness and acknowledgement and execution of these things, can a disciple become an active participant in the cosmic realms for these things to reveal the map of higher creation. It is explained that without ethics and humility, like the Perushim and the Pharisees who used them to create cross-cultural bias, the use of these things are a part of fallen creation. It is now that these things are only bestowed on those who are ethical and who are clear. As such, those bestowed are given divine guidance to use the gifts, male and female alike, and are capable of reaching a masterful level of consciousness. At this level of consciousness, the different natures and frequencies of the top levels of existence, would be complicated and that differing mixtures of frequencies of fields of energy and matter, which come together, become open - an every remaining portal for spirit. To reach this level of consciousness, it is explained that one has to unlearn to fear the light (accepting what is hard to face, trust in the face of uncertainty, surrender, and other dynamics). Further, it is explained that in order for a soul, that is connected to human embodiment (entrapped light), to restore its connection to the heavens, an individual must work through all levels of dense matter creation energy and thought energy (note that in yoga, all branches of yoga are only purposeful in preparing the body and mind for meditation because that is where all information is accessed). Those who love the Ain Soph Or father from where Light and light descend and the family of light, by their intentions, behaviors, and meditations as demonstration of self-examined and pure love will show embrace of the Christed response to give the Sophia the Pistis and the way, will be transformed into Divine Light Representatives. Today, ask Ain Soph to descend light on your entire being and ask to be shown what is necessary to go back to higher Light creation.
