BIBLE VERSES

QEBHSENNUF, ONE OF THE FOUR CHILDREN OF HORUS

A symbol of the buddhic vehicle of the soul, the buddhic principle, or the buddhic plane.

"I am Qebh-sennuf, and I have come that I may protect Mut-hetep (the lady deceased Osiris); I have collected into a whole body for thee thy bones, I have gathered together for thee thy members, I have brought thy heart and I do set it upon its seat within thy body, and I make thy house to germinate after thee." — BUDGE, Book of the Dead, Ch. CLIA.

The buddhic principle explains the means that have been taken to raise the soul. In the perfecting of the causal-body (whole body), the spiritual foundation (bones) and all the higher qualities (members) have been brought together and the whole made complete. The Love-principle (heart) from above has been firmly seated in the causal-body, and the state of consciousness (thy house) shall be prolific of future growth.

“Qebhsennuf was hawk-headed, and represented the west, and protected the liver and the gall-bladder." — BUDGE, Egyptian Magic, p. 89.

The "hawk-head" is a symbol of aspiration and the higher nature. "West" signifies the buddhic plane. The lower qualities (liver, etc.) are transmuted by buddhi.
