Reincarnation
The Soul’s Journey
Public Forum
November 2nd
12:30 pm - 2:30 pm CDT
The continuation of life after death has intrigued the imagination since the earliest known records. It has been the dominant mystery of life which has challenged the human mind. The instinctive impulse to survive has caused both a fear of death and a hope of immortality.
“Why are we here? who are we? whence came we? and whither do we go?”
These were the questions that were asked at the first hearthstone, and are asked today at every hearthstone, with the same sincerity and an increasing desire for explicit and understandable explanations. The collective philosophical reasoning regarding the purpose of life and the true nature of universal justice, inevitably draws us to the subject of reincarnation.

Ma'at
Ma'at
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.
