TUAT, OR DUAT, THE UNDER-WORLDA symbol of the manvantara, or great cycle of
life manifestation in nature (underworld). It is described as
"night" because the Self (sun) is unapparent to the lower
consciousness. The Sun-god Afu-Ra, the incarnate God, is the Hidden
Deity (Amen Rā) immured in his cabin on the Solar-boat (World-soul),
which traverses the twelve divisions of the cycle in the twelve
hours of the night. The Tuat embraces all nature below the plane of
atma; the first and last divisions being on the higher sub-planes of
the buddhic plane, for the Soul (boat) commences in the first and
finishes in the last; it descends in the first six divisions, and
ascends in the second six. The descent is the involutionary process
of spirit entering matter, and the ascent is the evolutionary
process of spirit rising from and ultimately discarding matter.
