LION-GOD, DOUBLE“Two lions seated back to back and supporting the horizon with the sun’s disk, over which extends the sky; the lion on the right is called Sef, i.e. ‘Yesterday,’ and that on the left, Tuau, i.e. ‘To‑day.’” – Budge, Book of the Dead, p. 90. The two lions signify respectively the former period and process of involution (“Yesterday”), and the present period and process of evolution (“To‑day”). “I (Nu) am the double Lion‑god, the first‑born of Ra and Tem of Ah‑khebti (as Buto), the gods who dwell in their divine chambers.” – Ibid., Ch. 38, p. 166. The Divine power in the universe (Nu) proceeds first from the celestial Logos (Ra) in the process of involution, and second from the terrestrial Logos (Tem)—the Archetypal Man—in the process of evolution. “The two Lion‑gods watch, one at each end, the path of the night Sun.” – Ibid., p. 216. The cycle of life on the lower planes (the Tuat), wherein the Self (sun) is unapparent, is divided into two parts: the descent of Spirit into matter, and the ascent of Spirit therefrom. The double Lion‑god stands as guardian of both horizons, marking the turning‑points of the soul’s great arc through manifestation. |
