Posture is one of the main components of the meditation practice. The text
prescribes
a sitting position within a circle. Then it instructs that there should be a
focusing of
the mind between the eyebrows. This area is also known as the sixth energy-
consciousness
centre. All members of the body, the arms, legs, etc. should be motionless.
Introduction to the Seven-fold Cleansing; the Serpent Power and the Teaching
of the Life Force:
(pg. 124)
The concept of the Serpent Power, a Life Force contained in the subtle body of
a human being that
operates through the nervous system of the subtle spine and which has seven
primary foci of energy
consciousness comes down through Ancient Kamitan history from the Great
Sphinx to the teaching of
the Asarian Resurrection and is iconographically expressed central shaft of the
balance scales of
Maat, in the pillar of Asar and in the Caduceus of Djehuti by the divinities Asar
(his backbone)
and the two serpent goddesses Aset and Nebthet. The movement of the Serpent
Power/Life Force is
described by the special text (see book "The Serpent" by Muata Ashby). The
Sefekh Ba Ra (energy
centers) or "seven souls of Ra" wherein Life Force energy and consciousness
are transformed from
subtle to gross energy for use by the body are seven in number.

Psychic Powers
Psychic powers are any for mf mental achievement and they may or may not be
related to spiritual achievement. The attainment of a college degree, for
example, is a psychic power but it is done for worldly achievement (magic). The
development of psychic powers for spiritual attainment require purity of heart
(a mind which is free from passionate desire for worldly objects or
achievements). All psychic powers, however, require some level of mental
concentration in order to attain them. The ability to concentrate may be
improved through practice of mental concentration exercises, meditation and
practicing the virtues.
Forgiveness is a most important psychic power. The ability to forgive one's self
and others for one's mistakes is essential. There will be many "failures" on the
spiritual path. These are merely tests of help strengthen one's resolve and to
raise consciousness and wisdom. If we take life (relative reality) so hard and
forget the greater picture (absolute reality), we because preoccupied and un-
forgiving. Bitterness and mental unrest become constant companions and
higher spiritual evolution becomes impaired. Life becomes a constantly
miserable experience in which there is always fault with something, therefore
mental peace is seldom, if ever, possible.
Introspection and self analysis are good ways to discern one's motives and
actions. Only you can decide if you acted on the basis of the lower self (SET,
emotion, ego, body desires, guilt and fear) or if you acted out of the BA, the
higher self (HERU, Maat, light, righteousness).
Proper sublimation of the Life Force which is developed from the sexual energy
center can increase the creative power if used for MAAT. When directed to the
divine, psychic power can lead to union with the divine, NETER. This union
may be seen in the Egyptian principles of: Heru and Set, Asar and Aset, Min
and Hetheru, the Sun and the Moon as well as the East Indian deities: Krishna
and Radha, Shiva and Shakti (Parvati), Ganesha and Siddhi. This union also
represents the marriage of cosmic energy and earth energy (Spirit and Body).
Both energies are of the same nature and differ only in their polarity. This
union also represents the marriage of cosmic energy and earth energy (Spirit
and Body). Both energies are of the same nature and differ only in their
polarity. This, when they are united, they revert to their primordial state which
is beyond polarity. The earth energy (Geb) rises from the base of the spine and
reunites with heaven (Nut). When this occurs, the energy consciousness center
at the crown of the head opens and one becomes anointed with the Life Force
energy produced from the union of the male principle and the female principle.
This is the highest psychic power, where one becomes an anointed one.

sexual organs, through the development of sexual energy.
