PTAH
A symbol of the Divine Mind,- the Logos
energising as the creative power on the higher mental plane.
"Ptah was one of the most active of the three great gods who carried
out the commands of Thoth, who gave expression in words to the will
of the primeval creative Power; he was self-created, and was a form
of the Sun-god Ra as the Opener' of the day. From certain allusions
in the Book of the Dead he is known to have opened the mouth' of the
gods. His feminine counterpart was the goddess Sekhet." - BUDGE,
Egyptian Ideas, etc., p. 98.
"Ptah bore the titles, Father of the mighty fathers (the other
gods), father of the beginnings, he who created the sun egg and the
moon egg.'. . . He is also called the 'creator of his own image, he
who created himself, who establishes truth, king of both lands, lord
of heaven,' etc." - WIEDEMANN, Rel. of Anc. Egyptians, pp. 132-3.
The Divine Mind or Self manifesting on the mental plane becomes the
progenitor of higher and lower conditions inclusive of the
individuality (sun-egg) and the personality (moon-egg). He creates
his own image- the Archetypal Man, and rules the higher and the
lower planes (both lands). The Self is allied with the buddhic
principle (goddess Sekhet).
