Know Thyself
Public Workshop
September 14th
12:30 pm - 2:30 pm CDT
Please join us for our public workshop titled, Know Thyself, on September 14th at 12:30 pm at Maat Pronaos. We will explore in depth the importance of the phrase's meaning and application in life.
Discussion Topic: Applying "Know Thyself" to Daily Life
The Presenter will review the article titled "Across the Millennia: Applying 'Know Thyself' to Daily Life" in the Rosicrucian Digest Vol. 86, No.2 of 2008.
Prior to becoming Rosicrucians, most of us were familiar with the expression “Know Thyself and Thou shalt Know the Universe and the Gods.” As Rosicrucians, we became familiar with the expression “Above the Portal of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi in ancient Greece was inscribed the injunction, Know Thyself”. This injunction has different opinions and interpretations. Is it knowing one’s own habit? Is it knowing your abilities and your limits? Is it knowing your soul? “
“Know Thyself.”
“How can we know ourselves?”
Join us in pondering this ancient injunction and question.
Presenter: Austin Ajufo, FRC

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.
