Egypt – Het-Ka-Ptah
Het-Ka-Ptah means Egypt. The word Egypt stems from the Greek Aegyptos, which is a contraction of the Greek term Hi-Gi-Ptos. Hi-Gi-Ptos was a Greek transliteration of the ancient term Het-Ka-Ptah.
Het: house
Ka: soul
Ptah: the Father
Thus, Egypt means “The house of the soul of the Father.”
Where is the Het, the house of the Ka, the soul of Ptah, the Father? Het-Ka-Ptah is your physicality. Yes, your physicality is the house of the soul of your inner Ptah. Ptah is the father we have inside, attached to our Ka, our soul, which is formed by all of the archetypes.
The soul within Het-Ka-Ptah in Egypt and in our physicality is Ka, Horus, that needs to be developed. This is how we should see the symbols of ancient Egypt.
“And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver [moon], and jewels of gold [sun], and raiment [Malkuth; all of these represent the mystical secret of the Holy Name. Together they are called “Urim and Tumim”]: And Iod-Havah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled [this knowledge from] the Egyptians.” – Exodus 12: 35, 36
