.
Introduction.
Every persons in your
life ask himself why the world
is unfair? Especially in those moments when we are hurt, humiliate,
offend or betray. We are acutely aware of
own pain, but rarely do so in relation to other people. "None of my
pain," "Self comes to the body," and so on .... all this folk
"wisdom" as it shows a confirmation of the "truth" ... .and
many people happily live to old age, confessing these principles.
This blog was
created for people who want to
help. This blog is for people who want to make the world a better, fairer, happier for themselves and for other persons
The important
thing - it's human truth, the
essence of being, but not popular "wisdom", which is the indifference
and laziness.
Themis and Maat.
A lot of countries, including the Russian Federation
are a symbol of justice. This is a statue of Themis, who have differently image . Themis has not seen nothing
. We only know that in one hand she holds the scales in the other a sword.
Themis has the blindfolded. This is symbolizing impartiality. This image
Themis received from Romans. Romans borrowed from the Greeks her image as a
Justice. Romans invested in her right hand a sword instead of a cornucopia,
initially as she did not have and bandages. It mean, she has only scales and cornucopia. That is the image of
the goddess is changing and borrow.
There is the interesting fact. During the
reconstruction of the building of the Supreme Court of Russia over the entrance
to the complex from the Big Rzhevsky alley was a sculpture of Themis. The face
of Themis has no blindfolded - a symbol of impartiality.
This image has the critical articles in the press, in addition to
her hand shield, not a sword or a horn abundance.
Libra - an ancient symbol of action and justice. On
the scales of justice weigh the good and evil deeds committed during the life
of mortals. Posthumous fate of people depended on which outweigh the bowl.
In this time, a
lot of persons is forgotten goddess of
antiquity - Maat. She is from ancient Egypt, and she also takes part in the court where installed -
scales, and has a bandage. Headband Maat is located on the head and support an
important attribute of the court - the pen. It is a pen and write the judge's
decision depends on the fate of persons.
We know the words in the Russia : “ execute must not pardon”
. You can hear these words, but do not understand their meaning. But if
they are written and put a sign - a comma, the meaning of the words is clear to
everyone.
Execute, must
not pardon - and man will dies………
execute must
not , pardon - and a person is saved!
The age of the Egyptian Maat significantly older than
the Roman and Greek Justice Themis, it can be assumed that ancient peoples
could take for yourself some of the outward signs of Maat (eg, scales,
dressing) to create an image of the goddess
Maat - Goddess of truth, order and justice
Maat (Ammaat) - Ancient Egyptian Goddess, representing
truth, justice, law, bestowed by God the Creator of the universe during the
creation of the world, universal harmony, a divine institution, and ethical
standards. Maat has image of a seated woman with an ostrich feather on
her head, sometimes winged. She was the daughter of the sun’s God Ra and she was the
wife of the God of wisdom. His name is Thoth. The people of Egypt rightly believed
that truth and wisdom - is a good pair. According to tradition, like the other
gods, winged Maat in primeval times lived among puples. But after, she follow his father Ra to heaven, because
the sinful nature peoples dos’n like her.
The principle
of Maat includes both the correctness and regularity of the universe, and
social cohesion and the most
importantly, the responsibility of the king (Pharaoh, Emperor, President) and
mere mortals for their actions. In addition, the goddess was associated with
efficacy of the spoken words.
Sacred insect Maat - bee, and the solar material is the
wax, which dedicated to the
goddess and her father. The title "priest of Maat" has the grand vizier, who was also a chief judge and
wore a golden image of the goddess on his chest as a sign of their special
status. Maat is one of the most important actors Psihostasii or underworld
court, during which her statue or emblem - ostrich feather is a counterbalance
to the heart of the deceased on the great scale, established before the throne
of Osiris.
In addition, its image is often crowned themselves
scales. Even the hall, which is the measure of the sins of the heart of the
deceased, called "Halls of Two Truths (IAATO)." In addition, it is
worth mentioning that Osiris was the judge of the underworld, where the heart
of the deceased was weighed in the balance with pen Eternal Truth and Order of
Maat. If a person's heart outweighed feather of Maat, his heart devoured a
monster.
Throughout its long history, in all their actions were
guided by the ruler of Egypt laws of universal harmony. These laws embodied in
the image of the winged goddess. Maat - it is the truth and justice, prudence,
order, unity and harmony.
Maat lives in the human heart and in life after death.
Maat - omnipresent. Maat - food of the gods, without which they can not live.
But people also live because of it. Without Maat they lose the meaning of life
and the way leading to immortality. Follow the laws of Maat - is not just an
obligation, the core of existence, the need of the heart. It is the duty of
honor and life.
Ma'at - Goddess of truth, order and justice. These
words have a hidden meaning.
But how often, in our modern world is broken the law,
and judges, following the order (meaning proceedings), endure unjust decisions.
Even the laws in different countries sometimes quite unfair to certain
categories of the population.
In ancient times, when Egypt to observe the
established divine laws, it was a rich and happy country, which were just laws.
Anyone even low origin - a farmer or artisan - if he wanted to learn, to
acquire knowledge, could become a priest. Society of Ancient Egypt was more
true for women. They had the right to own property, to inherit after the death
of relatives and even (!) To be the Pharaoh! There are several names of women -
the rulers of ancient Egypt! No country in the ancient world, except Egypt,
this fact can not boast!
Maybe it's time to remember the principles of the
ancient goddess Maat and begin to live according to the laws of truth, order
and justice?
