Yes, yes, now to some important stuff! ! want to look over your wonderful self disclosure. I don't think you were trying to APPEAR superior. But you probably did....;-) Firstly, a quick look at those wonderful Egyptians whom we celebrate this week. "What will most impress one in these liturgies, however, is the deep, sincere religious feeling that permeates them--the grief for the lost one, the hope of again beholding him, the cry from the heart for help, the reliance upon the divine all-ruling destiny that shall bring the trial to a happy ending, and the triumph of a desire realized and a hope fulfilled: these sentiments, as much a part of human nature now as then, bring the far-off dwellers of the land of Kem near at heart and feeling to the twentieth-century reader of our own era. For above all nations of old, the future life entered especially into the Egyptian daily life and thought; their religion was one where the present was considered only the threshold; and it was their belief in the absolute endlessness of matter and the immortality of the spirit that causes the frequent p. 16 formula after many of their names--"Ankh zetta heh"--living for ever, eternal." sacred-texts.com
