The symbol of the "Serpent of the Universe", as kemites called it, also known as the Ouroboros to the Ancient Greeks, is a serpent that's biting its own tail. It symbolizes the cyclical nature of the universe and a path to the sun. It was an Ancient Kemet symbol of what they (Kemetyu) regarded as the creator of all that exists, that Itself exists in all of the life forms it created and is still shaping at the potter's wheel. A true pervading God, thus.
The simplest thing to arrive at, once you are done believing life is the product of intellgent design, and that the intelligent entity is a humanoid that exists out there somewhere, is the fact the real god lives within you. In other words, maturity begins when you realise that you are a manifestation of God. This is the next step in the growing process of the human psyche as his accumulated understanding of the nature of the reality around him, and of existence itself increases to the point it allows him such deliberation.
Lemme explain this so that those in the back can also hear.
Arriving at the conclusion that the universe, as indeed the lifeforms in it, were created by some mythical entity that resides either in the sky or some depth in the earth requires no rational deliberation, but the realization that the creator lies within all lifeforms does. The former is seminal, while the latter is its mature product.
It cannot be disputed that the stone age man who believed that a powerful god resided in a volcano, that he may have called Yahweh, to which he sacrificed people in order to apease it, believing that this act prevented it from spewing larva all over its domain, had no rational basis for his belief. But the man who figured a god resides within him and he is its manifestation had.
I will explain this by giving an example of how the realization that god exists within each one of us is an advancement upon the former mental state, and also show how this conclusion can be arrived at, and with this prove that it is arrived at logically.
Stay with me here.
We have eyes to see, and each one of us had a day when we opened our eyes for the first time (within the womb or outside). We didn't open those eyes due to instinct alone, but because at some point in our development we had full control of the muscles that allow for eyelids to be opened, at the point in our development when the eyes were fully developed and ready to be used. But there is something else driving this simple eye opening exercise, and it is that we knew, deep within, that there is something out there to see, and that we posess the apparatus for sight.
Yes it's true that our being is at one point or another ready for sight and seeing, and requires no such fore-knowledge to function. Our eyes will work and alert us to the existence of a tangible, discernible world as long as we are ready for it in the mind, because the apparatus that allows for sight is fully developed.
But take it back to the very first being that had no eyes, that was in the process of developing eyes, and it becomes obvious that it can only work when the part within us that's aware that there is a world outside our being that is material, and can be seen, is there first before the eyes can be evolved.
Why?
You cannot have any ambition to have sight if you don't know that there exists a reality outside of yourself that can be perceived. There is no way that this process can be the product of hit and run. Either you know the real world can be seen and you go about finding ways within your means to make it possible to behold it, or you don't and you stqy blind.
Eyes work with the mind. Having the capacity to see requires an apparatus that knows to make order out of the chaos that's being perceived.
Also, you cannot develop eyes if you are not self aware, and the difference between the world out there and your entity has not been discerned. You cannot develop eyesight if you cannot both create and be conscious of elements your creation should use for sight, for instance light, its properties and its wavelengths.
You need to know the fact it travels in strait lines, and seek within you the composition of elements that can detect it (light), and create an image of what's out there that you can make sense of.
The same applies to all the other senses ... and it also works the same way with the capacity to displace yourself.
For this, you also have to have fore-knowledge that you exist independently, and that you need to move to survive. You must also have the capacity to create appendages that will make it possible to displace your being.
You have to be a creator.
Now, if this is indeed a prerequisite for the evolution of setient beings endowed with senses such as the ones we possess, then each one of us carries within us an entity capable of creating us, and more. This entity exists outside our conscious mind, of course, and is in fact its creator.
Our conscious is modelled on this higher conscious within us. It works the same way, albeit restricted in what it can do in comparison to it. Our mind is created with capacities that suffice for the guidance of the biological entity in which it's encased for its life on earth.
In this sense our mind is no more than another sense.
Think of it the same way (we have learnt) that our eyes are designed to pick up only the wavelengths of light that suffice for us to maneuver the material world, or the way our ears are restricted in the wavelengths of sound that they can hear.
Yes we can make things with our bare hands, but non of us can create our own eyes from matter wallowing within and without our bodies. Non of our minds knows the chemical and molecular composition of what's within us, let alone know how to put it all together so that it works as intended, unless of course with aids.
What we are dealing with here is a creator, a God, that resides right within each and every one of us. This creator made us what we are, and this fact is arrived at by logical deduction, provided it is clear that we evolved to be what we are, and that we are still in the process of evolving, meaning the god withn us is still at work in each and everyone of us, humans and other animals.
And it's not just animals that have to have this creator within them to exist and also possess the capacity to be able to evolve intelligently, that are in and of themselves gods, but plants have this in them as well ... and here again it is right out there to glean when we take time to examine their conscious traits by rationalizing our way through this.
Have you ever wondered how it came to be that we eat fruits and fail to digest all the seeds, or don't eat that part of the fruit? Do plants know that animals eat and what they can eat, that we don't like some tastes? They protect developing seeds in a sour envelope and change its taste as soon as the seeds are ready for sowing. We eat the ripe fruits and disseminate the seeds they contain that way. Is this all just coincidence? What about seeds that stick to fur? Do plants know animals have fur? If it's not all coincidence, if we didn't just wander into the garden of Eden and find fruits tasteful and nutritional, then plants have a conscious within that's aware of our entire composition, right down to our alimentary canal and cells, including the fact we can displace ourselves. Seed dissemination is based on knowledge that crowding isn't conducive to growth, meaning plant life is aware of what's good for its survival.
Plants know there is air. They create seeds that have designs that allow them to drift in air, ensuring that they are properly disseminated. And so on and so forth.
But it's not really the dumb plant that knows all this, of course. It's a consciousness within plants that does, and it's related to, in fact it's the same as the one that resides within each and everyone of us.
It simply manifests as a plant in the plant's case.
These facts, like the previous ones, are also arrived at by logical deduction or deliberation, and it can get convoluted to arrive at the conclusions but if you have the time and energy, and the mental fortitude, you will definitely get there.
And here, we are getting closer to the concept of a single god, but to place it out there in the clouds would be to go the way of the Stone Age guy whose fiery god Yahweh rumbled about independently at the base of a volcano. To do so would be to stunt man's conscious in it's steady ascendance on the ladder to true enlightenment. To do so would be to want man to be distanced from his source.
The source is one, and it exists within man, and how mankind raises himself to Godhood is by seeking connection with this God that dwells within him, that in fact has a biological existence within his body.
The God entity that resides in each and everyone of us is the one god within all. This is holism, which is the science I think the Nysut Bity Akhenaten was on to. Ancient Kemites called it the Serpent of the Universe, and the Greeks who got it from them, but have thus far failed to grasp the science, called it the Ouroboros.
The Ouroboros is depicted as a serpent that consumes itself because this is in fact what it has designed itself to do. This is the only way it can survive. If we were to place its parts in all living things, then we can clearly see this play out.
We eat plant life that contains the same conscious entity that's in us. Animals consume other animals. This means the God within us feeds on itself.
The explanations for why it self consumes are manifold, but here is one I consider fundamental. The god entity makes food for itself and, because it is the source of all life, it has no choice but to make food of itself for itself.
Thus, the serpent engages in the perpetual recycling of its own self.
