As the temple rite begins "herbak" (the Kmtian on the street) does not feel that it is only for the priest class or that they get more than he does. He knows that he is part of a great chain of being, an organic state where he is linked to all others in the country from the lowest worker to the Great Leader himself. As the Great Leader acts he influences the whole state, as he practices the ancient rites all are affected. There is no an artificial division between morality, politics, the divine and the secular, the Kmtian experience is one harmonic, one unity which encompasses all aspects. This unity was the foundation for the Kmtian Harmonic, it sustained Kmt for thousands of years, indeed, Kmtian art did not change fundamentally for some 4236 years until the advent of Akhenaton and then returned to its "Old style" until its fall. The great unity of Kmt was its sustaining vision, its essence was not only found in the state or political structure or in the priesthood, but was within every aspect of its expression, from art to architecture, from music to medicine. Like a hologram, even a single artifact can reveal the language of the greater form.

Kmt's initiation gave the initiates a degree of education one would acquire after lifetimes of lessons.

Maat

The Kmtian cosmology is founded on the understanding that all existence was either orderly or chaotic. Order was called Maat while chaos was called isfet. The word Maat in Kmtic language translates to mean, Truth, Justice, Righteousness, Balance and Order. It's opposite being "Isfet", which means, lacking in justice; out of balance, disorder, etc.

Maat encompassed the physical world, political conditions, and ethical conduct. In the physical world Maat meant that the sun rose and set in a regular pattern. Maat also meant that the Nile flooded Kmt on a regular schedule and provided fertility to agricultural fields. In politics, Maat meant that the true king sat on the throne and ensured order within Kmt. In Kmtian thought, Maat depended on correct personal conduct. In fact correct personal conduct ensured loyalty to the king, which, in turn, supported an orderly physical world. For individuals, Maat also meant telling the truth, and dealing fairly with others in addition to obedience to authority. Ultimately an individual who supported Maat through his actions could enter the afterlife as a reward.

The beginnings of indigenous African systems of thought date from Peraa times with the production of the African Kmt Memphite (Wa-Set) Philosophy (4,236bc), which was the earliest systematic moral code establishing right and wrong, and good and bad. In ancient African morality, ethics, and virtue, major emphasis was placed on an individual's conduct in life, treating it as the basis on which one will be judged in the next life. These principles organized social space and gave order to the social lives of Africans who settled along the 4,144-mile Nile River.

The roots of this uniquely African will to justice via science were, therefore, initiated in this period. The independent indigenous literary production, the philosophical tradition, the moral basis for this great African civilization stretches over 3500 years. Its content was dualistic, holistically integrating matter and spirit, science and morality, theology and cosmology. Pyramids (the largest buildings in the world that have stood for over 6000 years in Africa's African Kmt) were not built by empty religious mysticism, but by scientifically skilled indigenous African architects, engineers and master urban planners---who at the same time adhered to advanced religious and moral codes of social conduct. Science and morality, therefore, were one unified and complementary cross-paralleled reality. One did not negate the other.

The "divine speech," MDW NTR, of Djehuti (African Kmt's personification of science), was intimately bonded with "divine righteous behavior," MAATI, or Maat (African Kmt's personification of truth, justice, and righteousness). This was truly a unity of opposites. The unique facet of the ethical portions of the systems presented is their introduction of a comprehensive system of thought for scientific thought and moral practical guidance and action invented at least 2000 years before Greek Civilization:

1. Pyramid Texts: 3300-2400bc, a corpus of 2217 formulae or paragraphs in modern editions; these formulae are enshrined on the inside walls 0 of the chambers of the queen/king chamber, 5th dynasty;
2. Teachings of Imhotep, advisor to king Djeoser; 3rd dynasty, around 2800bc;
3. Teachings of Hordjedef, second son of Khafu; 4th dynasty, circa. 2700bc.
4. Teachings of Kagemni, vizier of Snefrou; 4th dynasty, circa. 2650bc.
5. The Teachings of Ptahotep, vizier under the reign of Isis; 5th dynasty, c. 2600bc.
6. The ShabaKA Inscription (Memphite Theology), transmitted by the stele of ShabaKa, these are essays on philosophical theoretical reflection of Ptah's priests in his Memphis sanctuary;
7. Admonitions of a KMTian Sage (Prophesies), circa 2300bc Dialogues of a Desperate Person and His/Her Ba, circa 2280bc.
8. The Teachings for King MeriKAre, Attributed to king Kheti II; 10th dynasty, circa. 2250bc.
9. Songs of the Harpists, circa. 2200bc.
10. Teachings of the Asar, circa. 2050bc.
11. The Teachings of Amenewhat to his Son Sesostris, circa. 2000bc.
12. Strength of Skilled Trades, circa., 1900bc
13. Teachings of the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus, circa., 1850bc; Rhine Papyrus
14. The Sarcophagus Text circa., 1650bc;
15. Book of Coming Forth by Day and By Night, circa. 1590bc;
16. The Great Hymn to Aton, circa., l400bc;
17. The Wisdom of Ani, circa l300bc.
18. The Teachings of Amenempoe, circa. 1000bc.

Later, this indigenous African moral "thought matter" was plagiarized and claimed by Hebrews during their 400-year sojourn in ancient African Kmt. Moses, their first and chief lawmaker---taking the ancient African Kmt's 42 Confessions of Innocence and making 10 Commandments--- was, according to the Old Testament, thoroughly instructed in the wisdom of ancient African Kmt. He was a KMTic priest. He lived the larger part of his early life in African Kmt. He was thoroughly educated in KMTic schools and temples.

Even KMTic religious theology expressed a certain systematic logic. Ancient African Kmt viewed heaven as the seat of the Neters, that is to say, the "creative causes," the unmoved movers, the supreme will, the vital forces, or agents of continuous creation and the principles of functions, which through reflection into the earthly world maintained its existence. This is fluid duality personified. Temples were conceived of as the cosmic seats of the Neters, each a sacred place of dwelling for a significant moral or scientific principle to which each of them was dualistically dedicated.

The sanctuary of a KMTic temple, with its huge doors, vividly painted walls, massive pillars, chambers, corridors, and various sacred monuments surrounding it, was the secret part of the temple; its walls were covered with the most important texts, and it was separated from the "open temple" by the transitional hall. Clearly if African Kmt's intellectual and moral system had been applied to build the proper military system, African civilization would today be leading the world in the arts and the sciences. For historical and cultural reasons it was not. Material force must be met with superior material force as to ensure self-preservation. African Kmt was sorely deficient in this area.

In sum, the temple inscriptions are explicit on this point: science and morality are inseparable; therefore any subsequent research methodology must have Maati (moral correctness) and Djehuti (scientific precision) as its plan, driving force, and its goal. African scientists today must independently resurrect this ancient method of judging reality and fortify it with a material will that centers on self-preservation and self-development.

Salvation of Humanity

1. In the beginning there was Nwn, the body of primeval water; from Nwn came Atum on its own; from his spittle came the first couple, Shu (dryness) and Tefnut (humidity); they gave birth to Geb (earth) and Nwt (sky), who then bore Asr, Ast, [seth] and [nephthys]-the first set of nine divinities made up the Group of Nine (Ennead) of Heliopolitan mythology
2. Ra, king of gods and goddesses, also represents the cycle of the sun, which is the basis of all life's existence-Ra simultaneously ‘is' and ‘is becoming'; this myth seems to speak to a few different things. One is that humans have the potential to exploit the natural environment (its contents are extensions of Ra-the sun) and when they actually do this, nature deals heavy blows to the population. The natural disasters are explained as response of Ra through Skmt to purge the earth of those damaging nature.

Maxims of the Prime Minister PtahHotep (Exerpts)

1. Wisdom literature comprised a series of moral treatises proffering declarations on ethics, psychology, politics and social issues. Generally, wisdom literature contained the moral code of Kmt antiquity
2. Ptah-hotep was the equivalent of a Prime Minister in the 5^th dynasty.
3. African Kmt maxims shold be so sequences, intellectually, as to lead necessarily to knowledge, culture, moral rectitude, good conduct and the setting of a good example; its aim is moral, ethical, methodical, and artistic
4. The language is the result of deep reflections; the maxims and wise sayings are concepts; they offer practical advice and above all focus on essential, ethical concerns; they offer advice about personal conduct, and recommend a judicious balance, respect for others, self control, the careful monitoring of one's thoughts and emotions
5. The maxims advocate simplicity and humility; the spiritual value of these maxims lies in their advocacy of general culture as a requisite for the happy life
6. The highest value is placed on a constant quest for truth and justice; MAAT is a concept of central importance, implying order, universal balance, cosmic regulation, justice, truth, truth-in-justice, rectitude and moral uprightness
7. Balanced order brings peace, condemns crime and evil. Whomever breaks the law is punished as a matter of course
8. People in authority are advised to govern with mercy and in peace; subordinates owe respect to superiors; authoritarian conduct is decried as unacceptable
9. The social order secretes benevolence and loving kindness, without stifling personal initiative and work; MAAT castigates slander, lying, defamation, boastfulness, and flattery; all persons deserve respect
10. Order is a categorical imperative-‘stick to the truth; do no exaggerate; in the final analysis, justice (MAAT) prevails'
11. Only the wishes of the netcher become reality; the wishes of humans do not always come true. In other words, humans negotiate their external environment, and depending on the forces involved, nature prevails
12. To understand MAAT, must examine it on 3 levels-(1) universal level, MAAt expresses harmony of the elements as clearly established, each in its right place; this is the concept of the whole; (2) political level, MAAT works against injustice; in the name of MAAt, the Peraa subjugates rebels and dominates foreign lands; and (3) individual level, MAAT embraces specific rules for living in concert with moral principles; whomever lives according to these rules and principles achieves universal order in his/her own life and lives in harmony with the ordered Whole
13. MAAT indicates transcendence  

Maxims of Kagemni Exerpts

1. The Instructions of Ancient Kmt were precisely such lessons in virtue, dispensed by a master to a student, by a wise expert to someone younger,  
2. The Wisdom Literature was a corpus of texts used for philosophical education
3. Virtue can be taught; the discipline for teaching it embraces both science and conscience, knowledge and consciousness, a consciousness inseparable from the responsibility of governing the polity
4. Kagemni is instructed in discretion, good manners,a nd moderation; self-mastery and self-control; appropriate conduct; sobriety
5. African Kmt wisdom advocates modesty, sobriety and moderation, also castigates boastfulness
6. prudence is recommended
7. Morality was practical; it began by recognizing responsibility, then moved on to offer the training required to fulfill it. Its goal was the strict duty of living in tune with MAAt, the combination of Justice and Truth, the supreme moral law
8. The teacher sought to focus the student's attention by using proverbs and maxims, confident that this radical educational theory would work in practice
9. African Kmt morality was civil and secular, profoundly focused on the life of the community
10. MAAT, a transcendental law, also taught human beings, in practical terms, how to live as dutiful members of their communities, how eto assume future political and administrative responsibilities, how in short, to bhave as social beings.
11. The African Kmt scribes who set down these moral injuctions in their books felt that they were accomplishing a duty, that of handing them down to future generations; This was the origin fo the law of obligation as an essential objective of morality. It was from this type of fundamental obligation that the various ‘teachings' were derived together with their moral corollaries-prudence, modesty, sobriety, self-mastery, moderation, courage, disciplined striving for self-improvement, and thoughtful patience; the aim was virtuous fulfillment (well-being)
12. Because the teachings were written down, they facilitated the transition from the idea of positive goals (to be achieved, practiced, lived) to that of laws (to be known, learned, read, contemplated, respected)
13. Peraa morality was based on written documents-it stated that moral precepts derived from a moral law rigorously focused on duty; the moral system constituted a scholarly discipline
14. the moral philosophy of Peraa African Kmt had its ideal of the good
15. the prime minister in the Peraa administrative establishment, summons his children to teach them virtue; thus love facilitaes te dissemination of moral and spiritual propaganda
