TL:DR; I think I just figured out that the tradition of wearing a white wedding dress is a distortion of a description of the enlightened aura. #TouchPaper Details: So, I was just finishing up my analysis of the words that start with "ānkh-" including ānkh itself. As I was preparing for the recently recorded but not yet released episode 4 of the Bitcoin Consciousness podcast's Red Tail Hawk series in which I cover and we discuss lost civilizations, particularly Mu, I wanted to include an analysis of the many "Mu-/mu-" words that were in that dictionary and distill some patterns which proved out to have been fruitful given what it yielded (primary meanings: water, mother, cease to exist). In that exploration, I noted a word "mu nu ānkhamu" which was defined as "a solution of ānkham flowers". Obviously the presence of ānkh in that got my attention. At that point, I looked up ānkh and saw a number of entries for ānkh as well as a number of words that all started with "ānkh-". In that section, I found ānkham which was a "a flower used in funeral wreaths". Looking it up online yielded that the ānkham flower was pointing at the Egyptian blue lotus. At this point I must have accessed a message @Henry sent me a while ago about how he'd heard before that the ancient Egyptians were consuming blue lotus somehow. I also remembered a quote from Uncle iIroh from Avatar, the Last Airbender, who declared a particular cup of tea "nothing more than hot leaf juice!" So, I figured, maybe the Egyptians were making a tea out of these Egyptian blue lotus petals. That would satisfy the "solution" concept in mu nu ānkhamu. So I looked it up and yeah, Egyptian blue lotus tea was/is a thing and it produces some very relaxing states. Pretty much all of the reported effects of consuming Egyptian blue lotus tea are consistent with theta dominant neural oscillation pattern states of consciousness. Apparently no scientific testing has been done to verify that this tea produces these neural oscillations, but it seems like we probably already know how that study will go. The usage of ānkham flowers in "funeral wreaths" more likely designates their association with Da'ath, the activation of the throat chakra. It's association with any higher, dormant chakra activation is the main point to distill from this. E. A. Wallis Budge, the author of the dictionary, likely was not esoterically informed on Kabbalah's teachings or on Da'ath, and, as such, the symbols that were used to designate "Da'ath", were conflated to mean physical "death". This echoes the strange phonetic similarity between Merkabah and macabre as well. These are mistranslations based on esoteric ignorance. While studying the ānkh words, I noticed that the 6th entry reads: "repeating life", a formula used sometimes in the place of maā-kheru In that word, I noticed "heru" which is the Egyptian spelling of Horus and also means "hawk". It's also a Chi Rho word. The k on the front actually doesn't affect the pronunciation much. The same phonetic similarities that allow us to bridge between "kigh", "kee", "chigh", or "chee" to hero, Hera, Heracles, Eros, etc. are in play here too. It's just a phlegmy H as opposed to an aspirated H. Those probably aren't official linguist terms but I have them written down somewhere in the manuscript. So I looked up maā-kheru and found 2 entries, one of which had a primary definition plus 5 alternative definitions. In all 7 definitions, the theme always was "innocence". The primary definitions of interest to this group are: 1.[to be declared to be] "true of voice, or word" in the Judgement, i.e., to be innocent, to be justified like Osiris; maā-kheru (fem. maāt-kheru) ALWAYS follows the names of the DEAD, it being assumed that they have been declared innocent, as was Osiris; 2. a crown of innocence, a garland of triumph Based on these definitions, it seems clear that the term "innocent" was pointing at the enlightened aura which, based on what we read today in "A Wanderer's Handbook" in which a selected quote from The Law of One was read (38.5), and based on Dead Sea Scroll 4Q405 23, ii, the enlightened aura is like a garment, something worn, and, in addition to having all 7 colors of the rainbow radiating iridescently, there is also a whiteness to it. Looking at modern traditions, in what circumstance is a white garment worn in order to symbolize the innocence, the purity, of the wearer? Wedding dresses. How do weddings tie in here? Well, activation of all of the higher dormant chakras is described as the reunification of the Divine Feminine with the Divine Masculine. Yoga means union. The "unio mystica" is a term from mystical Judaism pointing at the same thing. The phrase "hieros gamos" basically means holy union. The Rosicrucian book "The Alchymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz" directly invokes the word "wedding". It seems that there is a very real possibility that the concept of the "white wedding dress" was an expression of the enlightened aura, but was misunderstood exoterically by people, eventually becoming the tradition we have today of wearing a white wedding dress to signify virginity, i.e. innocence. 🪶
