The Enigma of Love
Public Forum
February 8th, 2026
12:30 - 2:30 pm
Poetry has long acclaimed love as a great aspect of human feeling. But love has not been confined to the lofty realm poets have assigned it. Love has also been compared with the lower motivations of human nature, such as sexual appetites, ambition and the meaninglessness of material gain. The true nature of love has been sought after as earnestly as the Holy Grail or the Philosopher’s Stone of the Alchemists. Is love a divine endowment, a gift of the Gods, a realm of supreme ecstasy to be attained, a biological impulsion, or an inexplicable psychological phenomenon?
Join us for a discussion of this subject which includes “The Quality of Love” and “Mystical Love”.
Our forum will be led by our Maat Pronaos Master Julie Ramirez
With Best wishes for Peace Profound,

The Egyptian word for Truth
Ma’at was the goddess of truth, justice, balance, and most importantly - order. In paintings, she was depicted as a woman who is either sitting or standing with an ostrich feather on her head and, in some cases, she was depicted with wings. According to the creation myths, Ma’at was created when Ra arose from the waters of Nun (chaos). Ma’at was often considered to be the daughter of Ra and was married to Thoth, god of wisdom.
However, Ma’at was more than just a goddess to the ancient Egyptians. She represented the crucial concept of how the universe was maintained. The ancient Egyptians believed the universe had an order to it, and it was Ma’at who kept everything in balance. This helped the ancient Egyptians develop a strong sense of morality and justice. Ma’at was extremely important in achieving the Afterlife. According to Ancient Egyptian mythology, after the death of the body, everyone had to pass through the Hall of Judgment, where a person’s heart was weighed on a scale against Ma’at’s feather of truth. If the deceased person’s heart balanced with Ma’at’s feather, they could continue their journey to the Afterlife. If not, their journey ended. This influenced the daily actions of the ancient Egyptians.
The Confession to Ma'at is taken from the confession contained in the book of the dead spoken in the chamber of Ma'at in Egyptian Temples of Initiation. The symbol of Ma'at was a feather. Cromaat means "The truth shall be," or "So Mote it be.
