Sirius - The Dog Star - Flooding of the Nile

Sirius - The Dog Star - Flooding of the Nile

Once upon a time in a land called Khem... [chemistry - alchemy] Sirius was a very important star to the ancient Egyptians, who called it the Star of Isis or the Nile Star. About 5,000 years ago, the helical rising of Sirius occurred earlier, around June 25.

 

When the Egyptians saw Sirius rising just before the Sun they knew it would soon be time for the flooding - inundation - of the Nile River, around which, all Egyptian life was woven. They depended upon the flooding of the Nile for the fertility of their lands.

 

It was up to the Egyptian priests, who attended to the calendar, to sight the first rising of Sirius. At the ancient temple of Isis-Hathor at Denderah, is a beautiful statue of Isis, located at the end of an aisle flanked by large columns. The statue was oriented to the rising of Sirius and priests would place a jewel in the goddess' forehead so that the light from the returning star would fall on the gem.

When the Egyptian priests saw the light of Sirius upon the gem on the statue of Isis they would announce to the people that the New Year had begun.

There is an inscription on the temple which states: "Her majesty Isis shines into the temple on New Year's Day, and she mingles her light with that of her father Ra on the horizon." Ra was the Egyptian Sun god.

 

According to Lockyear, in 3285 BCE Sirius had replaced Draconis as the star marker of the Summer Solstice and the beginning of the Egyptian New Year.

The star was used as an orientation point especially at Thebes and became identified with Isis.

The Temple of Isis-Hathor at Denderah constructed in 700 BCE is oriented to this star through the northern opening of the central passage. On the temple wall is a zodiac square which shows the star.

This is the period of time Sirius disappears from the sky - sequenced in the myth when Isis is hiding until the birth of her son, Horus - eventually the star reappears after Horus is born - resurrection. It is time!

 

The first time each year in which Sirius appears is called the heliacal rising of Sirius.

In Egypt this would be in the month of Thoth.

It would occur close to the Summer solstice and the time of the Nile's inundation.

The helical rising marked the beginning of the New Year which was held to be controlled by Isis.

Sirius was revered as the Nile Star, or Star of Isis, by the ancient Egyptians. Its annual appearance just before dawn at the Summer Solstice, June 21, heralded the coming rise of the Nile, upon which Egyptian agriculture depended. This helical rising is referred to in many temple inscriptions, where the star is known as the Divine Sepat, identified as the soul of Isis.

In the temple of Isis-Hathor at Dedendrah, Egypt, appears the inscription, "Her majesty Isis shines into the temple on New Year's Day, and she mingles her light with that of her father on the horizon."

The Arabic word Al Shi'ra resembles the Greek, Roman, and Egyptian names suggesting a common origin in Sanskrit, in which the name Surya, the Sun God, simply means the "shining one."

For 35 days before, and 35 days after the Sun conjuncts it on July 4, the star Sirius is hidden by the Sun's glare.

The ancient Egyptians refused to bury their dead during the 70 days Sirius was hidden from view, because it was believed Sirius was the doorway to the afterlife, and the doorway was thought to be closed during this yearly period.

Located just below the Dog Star there exists a constellation called Argo, the Ship. Astrologically that area in the sky has been known as the river of stars which is a gateway to the ocean of higher consciousness.

The dog Sirius is one of the watchmen of the Heavens, fixed in one place at the bridge of the Milky Way, keeping guard over the abyss into incarnation.

The Dog Star is a symbol of power, will, and steadfastness of purpose, and exemplifies the One who has succeeded in bridging the lower and higher consciousness.

The Chinese knew this place as the bridge between heaven and hell, the bridge of the gatherer, the judge.

In the higher mind are gathered the results of the experiences of the personality.

Between each life the soul judges its past progress, and the conditions needed to aid its future growth. As long as it is attached to desire, sensation, and needs experiences, it takes a body.

The soul cannot pass over the "bridge" until it is perfected.

The association of Sirius with a celestial dog has been consistent throughout the classical world; even in remote China, the star was identified as a heavenly wolf.

In ancient Chaldea (present day Iraq) the star was known as the "Dog Star that Leads," or it was called the "Star of the Dog."

In Assyria, it was said to be the "Dog of the Sun."

In still older Akkadia, it was named the "Dog Star of the Sun."

In Greek times Aratus referred to Canis Major as the guard-dog of Orion, following on the heels of its master, and standing on its hind legs with Sirius carried in its jaws. Manilius called it the "dog with the blazing face." Canis Major (large dog) seems to cross the sky in pursuit of the hare, represented by the constellation Lepus under Orion's feet. The concept of the mind slaying the real can be seen in the tales which relate the dog as the hunter and killer - the hound from hell.

Mythologists such as Eratosthenes said that the constellation represented Laelaps, a dog so swift that no prey could escape it. Laelaps had a long list of owners.

One storysays it is the dog given by Zeus to Europa, whose son Minos, King of Crete passed it on to Procris, daughter of Cephalus. The dog was presented to Procris along with a javelin that could never miss. Ironically Cephalus accidentally killed her with it while out hunting.

Cephalus inherited the dog, and took it with him to Thebes, north of Athens, where a vicious fox was ravaging the countryside. The fox was so swift that it was destined never to be caught - yet Laelaps the hound was destined to catch whatever it pursued. Off they went, almost faster than the eye could follow, the inescapable dog in pursuit of the uncatchable fox.

At one moment the dog would seem to have its prey within grasp, but could only close its jaws on thin air as the fox raced ahead of it again. There could be no resolution of such a paradox, so Zeus turned them both to stone and the dog he placed in the sky without the fox.

There is a remarkable analogy in the Chinese double meaning of the word Spirit and the word Sing (star). The words for soul and essence in Chinese, Shin and Sting, are often interchangeable, as they are in the English language. It is said that the fixed stars, and their domain, contain the essences or souls of matter ... a living soul is a higher essence of matter, and when evolved may also be called a star. These stars and essences become gods. Like souls, stars are regarded as having divine attributes. Stars look down from regions of chaotic, violent, purity on the world of humanity and influence the energies of mankind invisibly, but most powerfully. - Sirius, The God-Dog Star

 

Until the Aswan High Dam was built, Egypt received a yearly inundation - an annual flood - of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians did not realise this, but the flood came due to the heavy summer rains in the Ethiopian highlands, swelling the different tributaries and other rivers that joined and became the Nile. This happened yearly, between June and September, in a season the Egyptians called akhet - the inundation. This was seen by the Egyptians as a yearly coming of the god, Hapi bringing fertility to the land.

The first signs of the inundation were seen at Aswan by the end of June, reaching its swelling to its fullest at Cairo by September. The flood would then decrease in size around two weeks later, leaving behind a deposit of rich, black silt. The amount of silt left behind due to the height of the Nile determined the amount of crops that the Egyptians could grow - if the inundation was too low, it would be a year of famine.

The Egyptians learned a method of measuring the height of the Nile known as the Nilometre.

Although all Nilometres used by the Egyptians had a single obvious purpose, to mark the highest point of Inundation, they were constructed in one of three different formats -- a slab or pillar, a well or a series of steps. All three were calibrated using the same unit of measurement, the cubit; the Egyptians broke the cubit into smaller units, which allowed them to keep remarkably accurate records, perhaps more accurate than would have been warranted for the purposes of merely agriculture and taxation. - Egypt: The Inundation Article Continued - Also This Website

 

Egypt: The dog days are defined as the period from July 3 through Aug. 11 when the Dog Star, Sirius, rises in conjunction (or nearly so) with the Sun. As a result, some felt that the combination of the brightest luminary of the day (the Sun) and the brightest star of night (Sirius) was responsible for the extreme heat that is experienced during the middle of the summertime. - Dog Days and the Star Behind the Phrase Space.com

EGYPT INDEX

[Myriel RAouine]

Here's some  more information on early Egyptian times which I found very interesting. It is from the latest newsletter of the Ascended Masters:

 

The land of Khem and awakening the 360 senses

Long before the Greeks introduced the derivative for the name of "Egypt" around 500 BCE, this sacred and powerful country was known as "KMT" or "Khemit" which meant "the black land", named for the black silt deposits on the banks of the Nile river. It was this fertile soil that made the land so rich and agriculturally abundant.

The Khemitians" or ancient Egyptians lived long before the Pharaohs in what is called "pre-history". According to the indigenous tradition taught by Wisdom Keeper Abd'el Hakim Awyan, they represented a technologically and spiritually advanced society consisting of 42 tribes of people or "sesh". The term "sesh" held a definition that precluded an equality of all, despite any racial or personal differences.

Hakim also taught that the ancient Khemitians had achieved a higher awareness, and capacity to manifest and communicate, through their ability to access 360 senses (as opposed to the 5 senses that our scientists acknowledge today).

Their deep connection to, and knowledge of how to utilize the power of nature, enabled them to create on a scale unmatched today--even with our current "man made" technologies. Much of how they lived and what they knew could hold a great significance for us today as we enter into a new cycle of beingness and consciousness on our planet.

The name EGYPT was derived by the Greeks, who occupied the area around 500 BC; a stone tablet in Memphis gave tribute to the land Hit Ka Ptah (which became Hi-gi-ptos = Egypt) which meant place of the image of Ptah. Ptah was a prominent deity at Memphis in the Old Kingdom (2700-2100 BC). The language of the Ancient Khemitians was known as Souf. The Greeks regarded Egypt as the font of all knowledge, hence the word Philosophy, derived from Philo - Souf, meaning 'son of (Philo) the Egyptian Culture'.

The word pyramid is also Greek, meaning what is on the horizon. The Khemitian name for pyramid is Per-Neter meaning House of Nature or even House of the Gods. Many of the ancient pyramids, and certainly the three main ones at Giza, were never built as burial chambers (for example the sarcophagus in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid is larger than the entrance to the chamber) but as places of worship - to be at one with nature and the universe.

Built on a massive clockwise white light energy spiral, it was most likely used as an initiation chamber following seven to twelve years of study into the Left Eye of Isis Mystery School (feminine) and seven to twelve years with the Right Eye of Isis Mystery School (masculine). Initiates meditated out on the spiral for between two-and-a-half and four days, returning to their bodies with an expanded consciousness and understanding of unity. Traces of a white powder (known to the ancient alchemists as white gold) secreted by the pituitary gland through the forehead when the Theta state level of meditation is reached, have been found in some of these sarcophagi. A few initiates found the out of body experience so wonderful that they decided not to return to their bodies and 'died' in the process - but it was their choice. Some believe the Queen's Chamber was used to energetically stabilise the initiates after their return. Hakim believes that the Giza Pyramids were built around 13,000 years ago and the Sphinx over 54,000 years ago, using technology far in advance of today's. This included sonar cutting equipment and anti-gravitational devices; which enabled them to lift great weights effortlessly.

Life was viewed as a cycle, connected with the sun; which was born every morning in the East and set every night in the West. Nut - the Goddess of the Sky - was said to be give birth to the sun in the mornings and swallow it at night. During the hours of darkness the sun disc was said to travel the Dwat - or void - until it was reborn. The cycle of life was seen as being similar, with no fear attached to either the beginning or end. The Khemitians had no word for death in their language. A dying person was said to be Westing.

It was also believed that we all have the capacity for 360 senses, rather than the five senses that we acknowledge. These other senses are re-awakened by self-empowerment activities including positive intent, meditation, healing energies, attunements and by pilgrimages to key sacred sites. All of these activities raise our vibratory rate and therefore act as triggers for clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience, claircognisance and much more that cannot be readily identified by current levels of understanding.

These senses can also be empowered by the elements. We are said to be over 90% water.

Maya (also the name of a major ancient civilisation) and Ankh were both Khemitian words used for water. The Ankh was also the key to everlasting life. An old Khemitian expression said 'she has life, she has water, she is water'.

The Egyptian five-pointed star represented the five elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. Reyad means 'Elemental', like a little piece of Heaven - the source of the Cosmic Spirit - Chi, Prana or whatever we wish to call it.

The five-pointed star also represented the five stages of the sun during the day and the five stages of life: Dawn known as Kheper (the scarab), high noon known as Ra (the ram), the afternoon sun was Oon (the wise), full afternoon sun Aten (the wiser) and finally at dusk Amen (the hidden or veil). Reyad Sekh Em courses include sacred initiations into each of these stages.

The Khemitian population comprised 42 different tribes who together made up the Sesh. Some of the tribes may have been survivors from Atlantis and possibly Lemuria, who escaped the destruction of their lands using Merkaba technology. Khemit was a Matriarchal society with authority being passed down from mother to daughter - only the identity of the mother can be guaranteed.

Ok, wow, everything seems to be falling in place somehow ... here's another piece of the jigwas puzzle:

The Emerald Tablets of Thoth

Emerald Tablets of Thoth:

Now I give unto thee the knowledge,
known to the MASTERS,
the knowing that conquers all the dark fears.
Use this, the wisdom I give thee.
MASTER thou shalt be of THE BROTHERS OF NIGHT.

When unto thee comes a feeling,
drawing thee nearer to the darker gate,
examine thine heart and find if the feeling
thou hast has come from within.
If thou shalt find the darkness thine own thoughts,
banish them forth from the place in thy mind.

Send through thy body a wave of vibration,
irregular first and regular second,
repeating time after time until free.
Start the WAVE FORCE in thy BRAIN CENTER.
Direct it in waves from thine head to thy foot.

But if thou findest thine heart is not darkened,
be sure that a force is directed to thee.
Only by knowing can thou overcome it.
Only be wisdom can thou hope to be free.
Knowledge brings wisdom and wisdom is power.
Attain and ye shall have power o'er all.

Seek ye first a place bound by darkness.
Place ye a circle around about thee.
Stand erect in the midst of the circle.
Use thou this formula, and you shalt be free.
Raise thou thine hands to the dark space above thee
. Close thou thine eyes and draw in the LIGHT.

Call to the SPIRIT OF LIGHT through the Space-Time,
using these words and thou shalt be free:
"Fill thou my body, O SPIRIT OF LIfe,
fill thou my body with SPIRIT OF LIGHT.
Come from the FLOWER
that shines through the darkness.
Come from the HALLS where the Seven Lords rule.

Name them by name, I, the Seven:
THREE, FOUR, FIVE,
and SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT--Nine.

By their names I call them to aid me,
free me and save me from the darkness of night:
UNTANAS, QUERTAS, CHIETAL,
and GOYANA, HUERTAL, SEMVETA--ARDAL.
By their names I implore thee,
free me from darkness
and fill me with LIGHT

Know ye, O man, that when ye have done this,
ye shall be free from the fetters that bind ye,
cast off the bondage of the brothers of night.

See ye not that the names have the power
to free by vibration the fetters that bind?
Use them at need to free thou thine brother
so that he, too, may come forth from the night.

Thou, O man, art thy brother's helper.
Let him not lie in the bondage of night.

Now unto thee, give I my magic.
Take it and dwell on the pathway of LIGHT.

LIGHT unto thee, LIFE unto thee,
SUN may thou be on the cycle above.
THE SEVEN MAGIC KEYS

Peace

Sirius is Dog Star and brightest star

Sirius A and B

Sirius – in the constellation Canis Major the Greater Dog – is the sky’s brightest star. It’s very easy to spot on winter and spring evenings. http://lightgrid.ning.com/group/siriusconnection/forum/topics/siriu...

For the Maya the DOG star was equally important, as the new calender round always begins during the "dog days", that in on July 26th.

DOG is a Mayan day glyph, too - it's OC - and it's all about LOVE!!! Actually thze MAGIC of Love ... as LOVE is an energy which IS ALL LIFE
