“But with the appearance of the demiurge, Ra, Egyptian cosmogony takes a new direction with the introduction of an idealist component: Ra achieves creation through the word (Islam and Judeo-Christian religions), the logos (Heraclitus), the spirit (the objective idealism of Hegel).”

“As soon as Ra conceives beings, they emerge into existence. There is therefore an obvious, objective relation between the spirit and things. The real is necessarily rational, intelligible, because it is spirit; therefore the spirit can perceive external nature. Ra is the first God, the first demiurge of history who created through the word. All other gods in history came after him, and there exists a demonstrable historical relation between Ra’s word, the Ka—or the universal reason that is present everywhere in the universe, and in every thing—and the logos of Greek philosophy or the Word of the revealed religions.”
