As most of you are aware, the basis o spirituality is to overcome one’s ego or Set, but this brings to mind the questions, “What exactly is it that we must overcome?”
Well, first let’s define what ego is so that we’re on the same page.
First, the term “ego” is Latin for “I”. If you were saying, I love you in English, in Latin, you would say ego amo te. However, in psychology, Sigmund Freud used the term “ego” to denote the part of our personality that arbitrates between our animalistic desires and moral and social standards. For instance, it is the part of our personality that strongly encourages us to eat that piece of chocolate after we have decided not to do so for health reasons.

So, if we think about everything that’s, Right. The ego is the part of our personality that discourages us from doing what is Right and encourages us to do what is wrong based upon how we feel. Think about the children. If you gave a child a piece of candy, most likely they would instantly fall in love (pun intended). If you left the jar of candy out, that same child would continue to eat as much candy as they want.
Child having a tantrum because they cannot get what they want.
Why? Because they have not developed self-discipline skills yet, and do not understand that candy is not nutritious. Children are completely engrossed by the emotion that candy tastes good. In other words, they are completely enthralled by their little ego.
This means the ego is both childish and animalistic. This is the reason the ancient Kemetic sages called the ego Set, the youngest divine sibling (ode for a childish), and the Lord of Chaos (code for animalistic, hence lack of self-control and self-discipline).
Now, how does the ego manifest itself?
Well, think about it.
What makes an animal and child have a temper tantrum?
Answers:
When they can’t get what they want.
Something they don’t like.
And we can go on…but it all basically boils down on one-word FEAR.
When animals and children are afraid and do not know how to properly address their FEAR of the unknown, FEAR of acceptance, FEAR of denial, etc. They react and become chaotic.
So, when I say that we are living in a Setian controlled society. I am saying that we are living in a society where people are totally governed by their animalistic and childish emotions. From the highest official to the lowest, people do not know how to manage their emotions. Instead, the whole society is battling for self-acceptance and approval from others because they do not know how to properly address their FEAR. Yes, our society has become a nation of animals and children ran by animals and children. Society glorifies all animalistic and childish behavior in all areas of life, and as a result. We have become a society that does not consider content, will not read, or study anything. If it does not have a cool title, we pass on it and wait for others to tell us what and how to think.
We have become a nation of animals and children, ruled by animals and children.
The ones hurt the most by this is our children.
Our children are going out of their way to be “liked” and socially accepted because they do not think they are pretty, smart, have the right complexion, or texture of hair. Meanwhile, suicide rates among children are rising and it is not that experts don’t know why. It is that they are not funded like the athletics and entertainment industry.
To add to the dilemma. More and more news of corrupt religious leaders has put such a bad taste in our mouths. That most people have simply thrown the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to anything and everything church-related.
I know this is going to sound cheesy and cliché but the only way to end this destructive cycle is to teach about LOVE, which is the opposite of FEAR.
The symbol of moral and social upright is the column of Osar called the djet. (Note is the root word of the White Hedjet crown. See Lesson 4: the Maa Aankh).
True LOVE comes from within which means properly educating that self-acceptance, self-approval, etc. comes from within.
We all need Djett: Osar’s Backbone in our life.
This will also help with discipline because physical discipline like everything else has its shortcoming. The symbol for self-discipline as with social and moral upright is Osar’s backbone called the Djet. (Note it is the root word for the White Hedjet Crown. For more on the Kemetic crowns, click here.). It should also be noted that the Djet is also a Kemetic pun for meditation, hence upright posture. You got to love our Ancestors metaphorical thinking!
Bad things happened to all of us but as Gods and Goddess. We must understand that these problems occurred to make us who we are today. They were not meant to define us.
Anyway, it is best to teach children how to listen to their Higher Self, so they can discipline themselves and manage their own emotions. This is the meaning of Hru defeating Set. We must remember that our children are Gods and Goddesses who have returned. This means they incarnated already KNOWing a lot of things, we are just trying to teaching them how to navigate on this dust ball we call earth. We have to make sure that we don’t “condition” their KNOWing out of them. We need to teach them to trust the ultimate voice that matters and that is the God/Goddess within.
And, one way to do this is by teaching children how to go within. This can be done by teaching them to pray every day and night, but unlike how we were taught to pray (back in the day). Teach them to pray to them Self or their Osar. Osar like the Yoruba Obatala is androgynous meaning Osar (the Higher Self) can be both male and female.
Teaching our children to go within is essential for their survival.
For instance, since the appellation “lord” was used for men and “lady” is used for women. It is a perfect hack that our Ancestors used which is the reason the Psalms is the most popular part of the bible.
For instance, little girls can replaced Lord with Lady and say (of course little boys would say Lord):
The Lady is my shepherd I shall not want. She maketh me to lie down in green pastures: she leadeth me beside the still waters. She restoreth my soul: she leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his/her name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lady forever.
We must understand that this Setian society is making every attempt to drown out the God/Goddess Conscience, and one way to counter it is by teaching our children that the Lord/Lady is their Higher Self.
This is the Perfect Mind Hack to counter the Setian society we live in.
When we and our children start praying to our Self or Osar, our Ancestors will begin to speak, guide, empower, protect, and help us to create our reality.
