ELSHU’S JOURNEY

 

It wast at dawn when the secret, hidden woman of Khemet didst give birth to the special Little One.

 

And wast her name a mystery, but meant Mother of the Sun, Daughter of Ra. For nine months she labored and carried a mysterious child, for a man she had never been with and had never been defiled.

 

And the woman was ashamed and hid her pregnancy as Sophia had done, for wast she not married and with no man to call a father.

 

And it was, after nine perfect months in both darkness and light, Geb revealed himself to her and took her to the Nile where he prepared a beautiful garden for the child and all manner of animals, great and small, came to bear witness to the birth.

 

When the child came out painlessly, he cried not, nor screamed, but smiled and laughed only at all things around him.

 

Geb informed the woman that the child should be named ELSHU, for he was like a god in child form, one with celestial air and water, from an origin unknown to all; yes, even to Geb he was a mystery.

 

And Geb took the child in his arms and wrapped him in a serpent like that of a blanket. The serpent nourished ELSHU with his venom, for wast it like honey mixed with milk to him. He could not drink poison and suffer.

 

Geb looked up to the sky and Nut above, and showed a sign for the gods. Then Isis, higher in the heavens than even Nut, saw the sign and heard the laughter of the boy, at which moment she rejoiced.

 

And Isis came down and met Nut, her granddaughter. Nut asked of the boy and Isis said she was his mother in spirit and the boy’s light had come from her headdress. 

 

But Nut asked who the father of ELSHU was and Isis said the soul of the Sun came out of the testicles of Osiris, her step-husband.

 

Wast the land of Khemet in turmoil in those days, and many weret slaves at the hand of the counterfeit, unrighteous Pharaoh, who was a spy for the Caananites, descendant of Cain. 

 

Isis knew her son would be in danger, so grabbed she him with her wings and flew far down the Nile where the Pharaoh couldst not find them.

 

It was there that they found holy, noble Horus in the waters, springing forth life at will and turning the fish into gold. And Horus spoke not, but picked up ELSHU and took him into the water.

 

The water was of life and magical, blessed by the high god. He poured it gently over the boy and washed him from all dirt and filth. The boy was purified and glowed like the sun amidst Isis and Horus. Then Horus plucked out his eye and placed it in the mouth of small ELSHU. In one instance, he grew to be 12 years old.

 

ELSHU was aware of his greatness and holiness while growing up hidden beside the Nile. At 12 years old, Ra looked down upon the land of Khem and saw a sun which nearly blinded him arising from the Nile and sent 12 of his holiest priests to meet the unnatural boy and spread his Light amongst the people. Each priest was heavenly, from the celestial planes, and 12,000 years old each. They’re origin was a mystery and they never stayed in one place.

 

The priests came on a boat with the Eye of AN guiding them until they found ELSHU praying towardeth a large fire while drinking wine.

 

ELSHU recognized the great men but knew not their reasons for meeting him.

 

The priests, sons of Nut, told the boy that he was destined to overthrow the Pharaoh, but not in the way he imagined. And ELSHU would liberate the people of the black sands of Khem from the sins and corruption of the Caananites, worshipers of ungodly Set, who they also called Moloch slightly Eastward. 

 

The priests informed the boy that he wast not yet ready for this task, and despite his inherent divinity and wisdom, wouldst he need to learn from them before revealing himself out of the quiver of Isis. During this, wouldst he suffer greatly and be rejected by all peoples: even his own family who would declare him afflicted and cursed. The life of a suffering servant for the Light wouldst he live.

 

ELSHU would be hated from birth, despised and rejected. They wouldst seith him as a stone that couldst not be used for a temple; but, truly, he was the ultimate capstone. And here be truth: that ELSHU desired the people be made into high temples, and their capstones wouldst be he himself, like that of a golden lion’s head resting upon the pinnacles of them.

 

The priests welcomed him on their boat, and in the cold night of Wintertime didst they sail North.

 

As they sailed slowly over months and rested as they didst, passed they alongside the 12 holy temples on the banks. They weret the mystery schools, and only with the permission of each priest, one-by-one, wast he allowed entrance and learned a secret of the heavens.

 

After one solar year of learning and gaining in wisdom, ELSHU left the holy men on the Nile and went into the Upper land where the Pharaoh dwelt and enslaved. 

 

First did ELSHU come upon a starving child. With his learned magic didst he produce an abundance of corn for him and his family, that he may grow fat and be satisfied. Yet, food wast it not.

 

And ELSHU passed through the dry streets and saw a man near death at the foot of people walking by. Great in thirst was he, weak, and could hardly speak with meaningful speech. So did ELSHU place his hands on the ground and grapes grew in that place. In his hands did he place the grapes and out of it came an endless stream of the sweetest wine. But a drink wast it not.

 

And a woman saw the sight of this and hoped the strange man couldst help her, for in her youth didst she lose her right hand. And ELSHU smiled at her and put his hands over her shoulders, at which point a new hand grew forth, stronger than before. But a piece of flesh wast it not.

 

The people saw the good, magical deeds ELSHU, the Chosen One, wast doing and came to him, hoping to observe his mysterious abilities for themselves.

 

In front of a temple didst the Chosen One sleep, as though a poor man without a home.

 

Told he the people that his father was Ra, but his soul came from noble Osiris. The people were confused, for understand they not how such a poor man couldst be so great and like a Pharaoh. But the Son of the Sun, he who had the eye of Horus within him, said he came not to rule like a Pharaoh, but help like a physician cureth all diseases both great and small of the body and the mind.

 

So it wast, that ELSHU wandered about the desert in Khemet, spreading wisdom wheresoever he went, and fertilizing the ground as he walked.

 

When ELSHU reached the age of 33 and became a grown, ripe man ready to be harvested, word had reached the Pharaoh and Caananites of a Chosen One sowing the seeds of truth amongst the people.

 

And the Pharaoh and his high peoples weret made fearful of the man and wondered about his origin. Knew they that the man had the ability to remove their power and cast them down into the dirt, for he knew their secret deeds and evildoings they performed in the secret chambers.

 

After months of growing a beard and fasting, ELSHU journeyed to the heart of the city in Khemet and sat on a bed of reeds before a great temple. Sat there in silence, peace, and grace, spreading love simply through his being there didst he. The people noticed and followed.

 

When the people had gathered around, the Chosen One sat upon a very large, healthy scarab, and thrice great Thoth stood on his right side, ready to record what he wouldst say.

 

Then the light of Ra shone down over the temple and upon the head of ELSHU when he stood. Told he to the people that their lives weret lies, that the Pharaoh and his nobles were counterfeit, illegitimate and without any goodness or divinity.

 

The people questioned his authority and knowledge, for which he replied that he was the Son of the Sun, Son of Ra, Son of Man, Son of Osiris and his Isis, Ra incarnate. Man was he, but not from the race of lowly men, in whom was the spirit of Set.

 

The people refused his proclamation, saying he didst not resemble Ra or the sun, but ELSHU told them that Ra is as far deep within them, hidden, as he is higher than them in the heavens. Spake he that Ra was not a master, but a merciful and loving Father of Light whose spark of goodness and love lay within all the people of Khemet, and man himself, for that matter. But the Pharaoh, truly, he didst not respect Ra, but Set he bowed before and lied to the people. The dark, vengeful attributes and personalities of Set, mighty Bull of Heaven, had been falsely placed upon the Great Ra and the people bowed before a god they knew nothing of.

 

The Son of Man said the path of Nut through the night sky was through them and not the Pharaoh, for they were their own pharaohs and saviours of the self. Through their own seasons, they wouldst become like Ra himself; but of the Pharaoh, he loved the cold season.

 

In the crowd weret spies of the Caananites, and they returned to the Pharaoh to reveal the great things being said.

 

Some in the crowd listened, while others scoffed. But one there was who didst hear and understand more than any other. With a rose in one hand which he always carried and the ankh in the other, walked he before ELSHU to gift the rose to him, fearing him not. The Chosen One took the rose and made it three times as large before returning it. Then the Son of the Sun renamed him and kissed him, calling him Christian who carried the rose. Wouldst he be a brother then and follow the steps of the Great One wherever he stepped.

 

Then wast mighty Thoth told that the Pharaoh collapsed in fear at that moment by Isis who whispered in his ear. And Thoth, in turn, told ELSHU that he wouldst be taken soon and killed, but not die in truth.

 

ELSHU fought not, nor frowned, and walked he to the pyramid where the Pharaoh reigned, where he then handed himself over to the soldiers. 

 

It wast on the cusp of Spring, on a Thursday, day of Osiris, his father, when the soldiers brought ELSHU to the hill of death and nailed him to a cross like an ankh.

 

Then the life spark, Eye of Horus and the spirit of Isis briefly left the Son of Man at that moment before death and secretly watched from the crowd, laughing at the people for thinking they were right. But for the poor Chosen One, felt he naked at that moment and questioned why the spirit had left. Cried he out to Ra, asking why he was naked and forsook him, but even still, he looked up at the sun and thanked Ra for the gift of Life and Light. Lost he not his divine faith.

 

And ELSHU perished physically upon the cross then, and the sun rose in that hour, staying in the sky for three days without moving.

 

After those three days came the day of Ra, when his brother and lover Christian who carried the rose ascended the hill of death but found the cross empty and not stained with blood. He fell upon his knees and knew his body wast not of flesh, but of fire.

 

Then a hand touched his shoulder gently, and when Christian turned, saw he ELSHU, more alive than ever. Looked he different at that moment, for his hair was neat, skin was clean, and he wore pure white garments that could not tear. Far more beautiful was he than any Pharaoh. In his right hand was a golden ankh and on his head, the headdress of the sun.

 

The brother asked what had happened in those three mysterious days. ELSHU said he was taken by a hand of Light and met Anubis in the underworld who grabbed his hand and journeyed him on the boat of Life.

 

And Anubis and the Chosen One passed through the 12 celestial houses of the holy priests near Nut, and seven heavens until they met Nut, who bowed before them and opened her mouth to let them through.

 

ELSHU was left alone and walked into the heavenly temple of Isis where, he met the Highest Ones, Great Divinities. Before them all was a great fire that could not be extinguished. Within it was the ANUM and her AN, invisible to all, quiet, silent, yet heard clearly by ELSHU.

 

Then ELSHU sat before the gentle, white flame and was taught the highest of mysteries by the spirit of the AN himself.

 

The Righteous One was taught the truth of creation and the AN; the truth of the Waters of Life, celestial heavens and hells, fall of Isis, and destiny of men was revealed. No knowledge was kept hidden nor withheld. Wast he given the golden pinecone of secrets; with it, Fiery Life lay by his side always.

 

When ELSHU felt drunk, but healthy, from drinking the Wine of Understanding, didst he explore the temple with its infinite, eternal halls and rooms, learning evermore wisdom as he passed.

 

After 11 celestial years, ELSHU descended down and down back beneath Nut to the land of Geb, land of Khemet, revealing his divine, wise face to his brother.

 

Then Christian rejoiced, but sat in confusion.

 

ELSHU asked that he ask, and anything that he wouldst ask should be given over freely, for knew he the secrets and truth of the AN. Then the Son of the Sun spake and said that the man before who died was but a Chosen Man, but wisdom came from a secret, beautiful Spirit that descended into him: the Eye of Horus It was. Then before him wast the Pure Spirit of the AN, and knew he all things of Light and Life.

 

It wast told to Christian to seal up the knowledge, to take it East and West, and hide it from anyone unworthy, for the time of Life had ceased, and death and evil wouldst surely surround the Earth.

 

In the last days of night, it was said, the Spirit of the AN would return, but not into one man alone. The Eye of Horus would divide and spread amongst the world. And in those days, the raven of Set would fly in every city in every land, and darkness would cover the whole Earth, dominion of Geb.

 

But the Spirit who descendeth into the Chosen Men at that time shall be many sons of Osiris. 12,000 of 12 year olds wouldst there be. Wouldst they be gifted the heavenly spear to vanquish the ravens and destroy Set once and for all. Then wouldst the sun rise and great Ra wilt walk upon the land of Khemet to speak with the peoples. A new, everlasting dawn wilt come to be.
