The Resurrection of ASR (Asar) Ritual.
In one of the iniation ritual rites of ASR (Asar) in Classical Kmt, is the Resurrection of ASR, in which the initiate will go through a symbolic ceremonial death and resurrection ritual similar to the death and resurrection of ASR (Asar). The Priests and High Priests of ASR (Asar) will wrapped the iniate as a “sah”, as a mummy just as ASR (Asar) in his death.
The Classical Kmt word for mummy is sah, which means “noble one” or “honored one”. The word sah refers to a body that had undergone the sah (mummification) process and is in a holy, sacred state.
The sah (mummification) process was intended to transform a corpse into a divine being. The Kmtyw believed that the soul (Ka) had to go through a journey to reach the afterlife, and the body had to go through a similar ritual process.
The Resurrection ritual of ASR (Asar) was performed and pass down from generation to generation to generations with new Priests and High Priest of the ASR (Asar) temples in Classical Kmt. The value of this Resurrection ritual rite was that the iniatiates will have an out of body spiritual possession experience (Akom); and the initiates was to Resurrect like their Great King, ASR (Asar). This ceremonial ritual was performed and practiced to let the initiates know they are more than just their body and that their soul (Ka, Kra-Akan Twi), their consciousness will survive their body. “The body is just a cocoon. Your body is a cocoon that has wrapped your Soul (Ka, Kra) tightly, just as a cocoon wraps the butterfly tightly. Your body is a cocoon tightly wrapped and mummified (sah) around your soul. Who you really are is your soul (Ka, Kra), your consciousness. You are not your cocoon. You are not your body. You are not your physical body. You transcends your physical body”.
Once the iniatiate of ASR (Asar) knows this secret, then he knows there is no need to fear death. He has conquered death. “What you are, is beyond death. Your soul (Ka, Kra), your consciousness, is beyond death.”
Before the King of Kmt can be enthroned and be crowned as King of Kmt, he or she had to go through the Resurrection of ASR (Asar) rituals. Before the King of Kmt can be enthroned and trusted to rule over Kmt he or she had to go through the out of body spiritual possession experience of the sah (mummification) rituals. And all the other royal ritual rites he/she has to go through before being enthroned and crowned as King and Ruler of Kmt. This Resurrection of ASR (Asar) ritual of mummifying (sah) the King is done to let the King know to be One with the Universe, One with the Ntryw, One with the Forces of the Ntryw, and One with the Forces of Nature, just as ASR (Asar) was One with the Universe, One with Forces of the Ntryw, One with the Forces of Nature before he was Resurrected. After the ritual of the Resurrected ASR ( Asar), then will the King be crowned by the High Priest, as HRU (Heru), the successor of ASR (Asar), the Resurrected One. Once the King is One with all the Forces of the Ntryw, One with all the Forces of Nature, One with the Universe, then will he be the King of Kmt, and crown on the throne as HRU (Heru), the successor to ASR (Asar), the Resurrected One.
When the King of Kmt have achieved the unification of the dual opposing currents, Life and Death, symbolized by “Upper and Lower Kmt” within himself, then will he have earned the “right to rule” by bringing the Power of the Ntryw (the Forces of Nature) down to Earth within himself; because he have Resurrected like the Great King, ASR (Asar) and have become HRU (Heru) the rightful heir to the throne of Kmt, the Ruler of Kmt.
The King would then be crowned, by the High Priest, on the throne as “Heru”, the rightful heir to ASR’s throne, with the double crown of both Upper and Lower Kmt; as being a divine being in his own right because he has resurrected like the Great King, ASR.
“This is what makes you a good leader, because you can make decisions without fear of retaliation and retribution or death, because you have already defeated death.”
The ancient Kmtyw spiritual tradition and culture opens the eyes of the initiates to know who they are, and where they are going, and that there is another dimension, another realm beyond this physical world.
This is why libation to the Ancestors is soo important to us as Abibifoɔ=Kmtyw=Black people; because it connects us to the spiritual realm, the other realm, the other dimension, that is beyond this physical realm.
The Resurrection rituals of ASR (Asar) has being practiced by the Priests and High Priests in temples of ASR for tens of thousands and thousands and thousands of years. The Judeo-Christians has borrowed (stolen, plagiarized) the Resurrection of ASR spiritual doctrine into their own belief system, in which their deity god, Jesus Christ, was ceremoniously ritually sah (mummified) to defeat death for all his followers.
I have heard Judeo-Christian-Islamic believers, say “why do ancient Egyptians cares soo much about death, or why do the ancient Egyptians focus soo much on death, why do ancient Egyptian spent soo much time and energy on death or I can’t do that ancient Egyptian stuff they are too infatuated with death too much.
I have even heard people say why do the Akan peoples celebrate death soo much, why do Akan people focus soo much on death, why do Akan people spent so much time and resources on funerals, why do Akans funeral celebrations are more lively and active than any other Akan celebrations.
Your soul (Ka, Kra), your consciousness is the butterfly that will live on forever.
