You have no worries.<br /><br />We are getting into the swing of the new place and enjoying walking over to the beach for swims and surfs. There are still many jobs to be done, as is usual in a new building.<br /><br /><br />Sorry Friko<br />I am melting in over 30C today...I'll be swimming later...'<br />Look back at my Thoth post if you can be bothered. He is the God of writing, recording, messages...so he seemed appropriate...<br /><br />AS for the code of conduct...if we all knew how to behave with respect and kindness there would be no need for laws either...<br /><br /><br /><br />Hello Donna<br />AS Steven says it is a great balance having the everyday niceties sitting alongside the spiritual conduct. You will have no fear then when you meet Ma'at...<br /><br /><br />Hi Marion and Titus, Jasmin and Ayu<br />Glad you enjoyed Ma'at and her feather...<br /><br />Hi Meri<br />now that is an interesting endeavour. How are you going to present it?<br /><br /><br />Hello Ellen<br />I agree it is fascinating to look back through time and cultures this way...<br />there is no beginning and no end in the spiritual evolution of man - all cultures seem to overlap and have the same core...<br /><br /><br />Hi Cyndy<br />I hope that your day has been free of wroth...<br />That is a good idea to use Ma'at's feather as a metaphor to meditate on at the end of the day...<br /><br /><br />Hi Bonnie<br />those points appealed to me too - that they are considered serious enough to void our entry into Paradise.<br />In addition to the multiplying of words unnecessarily I was also taken with: <br />I have not acted with undue haste<br />I am learning to not rush to conclusions and neither rush to form opinions...<br /><br /><br />Hi Steven<br />Like you I love the complementary nature of the everyday with the Godly....perhaps the Egyptians lived life in a more unified way, rather than separating the spiritual from the mundane as our culture tends to do.<br /><br /><br />Hi Sapphire<br />It is good to compare cultures and find points of similarity and then points of great difference like her wings...<br /><br />Tracey<br />I am glad that coming here makes you feel that way.. My heart is lighter...thank you...<br /><br /><br />Hi Jinksy<br />It is nice to have you call by.<br /><br />Thoth cards - that is something I have never seen. Truth can be disseminated through a vast range of mediums can't it...<br /><br />Hi Amy<br />and so nice to see you little one..<br /><br />Hi Polly<br />Brevity and succinctness in speech are great goals for me. Maybe that's why I love haiku...<br /><br />Thanks for the follow up everyone. I have enjoyed your company and ideas.<br />Happy daysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-88392176812510954942010-01-12T14:17:19.510+10:002010-01-12T14:17:19.510+10:00Ma'at has a lot of responsibility!

Modern Christians seem to think that these values were invented by their god so it's nice to see these old rules of conduct. The Code of Hammaurabi is also very interesting. And the concept of the dead and risen god is not a new concept with christianity as seen in the story of Osiris and even more ancient tales.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-23758545233189461362010-01-11T23:31:26.055+10:002010-01-11T23:31:26.055+10:00Greetings, Delwyn.

But I believe I will think often of the concept of the weight of the heart and its significance of entry to the heavens.
