AMEN, OR AMON (THE HIDDEN ONE)

A symbol of the Higher Self incarnate on the lower planes of the soul.

"As Amen-Ra he was worshipped as the supreme King of the Gods,' a creator and soul of the universe, inscrutable and eternal. He is usually figured in human form, with two long upright plumes rising above his head, holding a sceptre and the symbol of life. The ram was sacred to him, and in this animal he was believed to be incarnate."-Non-classical Mythology, p. 9.

The incarnate Self is symbolized by the ram of sacrifice,-the "Lamb of God."
