When all was as yet Chaos (''Kon-ton'') three spiritual Beings appeared on the stage of future creation : (1) ''Ame no ani naka nushi no Kami'', “ Divine Monarch of the Central Heaven ” ; (2) ''Taka mi onosubi no Kami'', “ Exalted, imperial Divine offspring of Heaven and the Earth ” ; and (3) ''Kamu mi musubi no Kami'', “ Offspring of the Gods,” simply. | When all was as yet Chaos (''Kon-ton'') three spiritual Beings appeared on the stage of future creation : (1) ''Ame no ani naka nushi no Kami'', “ Divine Monarch of the Central Heaven ” ; (2) ''Taka mi onosubi no Kami'', “ Exalted, imperial Divine offspring of Heaven and the Earth ” ; and (3) ''Kamu mi musubi no Kami'', “ Offspring of the Gods,” simply. | ||

This last sentence gives the corroboration of, and repeats the doctrine of, esoteric Buddhism, for it alludes directly to the fifth principle (Manas), or the most spiritual part of its essence rather, which merges into, is absorbed by, and made one with Atma-Buddhi after the death of man. For Se-khen is the residence or ''loka ''of the god Khem (Horus-Osiris, or Father and Son), hence the “ Devachan ” of Atma-Buddhi. In the Ritual of the Dead the defunct is shown entering into Sekhem with Horus-Thot and “ emerging from it as pure spirit ” (lxiv., 29). Thus the defunct says (v. 130) : “ I see the forms of (myself, as various) men transforming eternally . . . I know this (chapter). He who knows it . . . takes all kinds of living forms.” . . . And in verse 35, addressing in magic formula that which is called, in Egyptian esotericism, the “ ancestral heart,” or the re-incarnating principle, the permanent Ego, the defunct says : — | This last sentence gives the corroboration of, and repeats the doctrine of, esoteric Buddhism, for it alludes directly to the fifth principle (Manas), or the most spiritual part of its essence rather, which merges into, is absorbed by, and made one with Atma-Buddhi after the death of man.
