The Gods of our Times

Horus and Seth fight each other twice every day.  Horus wins every morning, and Seth gets its revenge in the evening. Who is Horus and who’s Seth? The Egyptian God of Sun and the darkness.

What bothers me is that Horus has a form while Seth has none, so it was given the face of a beast of the night. Who was the more favorable and benevolent of them? Horus. Because he gave warmth, he grew our crops, he protected us from beasts, gave us vision, rain, clouds and what not. So Horus was adored while Seth was despised. Horus gives life, while Seth takes life. In the darkness, we fought creatures of the night. Sometimes it was the cold that took lives away, for life was so fragile. Of course I am talking about the era when we were just evolving. And thus was born the duality. The good, the evil or heaven and hell, light and darkness, white and black, knowledge and ignorance, etc.

So when the world was becoming better each day, the food was there, the wine too, darkness still haunted us. For we know death is terrifying. Why was death terrifying in the first place? The physical agony the dying person goes through and the emotional agony people feel when someone close dies. People have always wanted to escape death, so why shouldn’t they pray for Seth to forgive their life? May be that’s how the witches and wizards came into our world. They worshipped death, learnt ways to tackle death, through nature or secrets that very few know of, and wizards and witches, black magicians have been known to heal the sick, the wounded and the weak. And they have been known to give sacrifices too, for one life has to be taken in order to spare one. What made them powerful also made them one of the most despised, of course, as their ways were secret and paranormal. The agents of Seth, or Satan, might not be that bad either.

Just to tell you this quickly Sun sinks towards the South, and it reaches its lowest position on the day of 22nd December, which is the winter solstice. The Sun stays at the lowest point for three days and then it starts rising again towards the northern sky. And if you wake up early on 25th of December you will see that the sun rises from the point on the horizon, which can be located, if you join the three stars of on the belt of the Orion constellations and the Sirius (the star in the east). The Sun rises below the three stars in the constellation Crux, which looks like a Cross. Born to a virgin (read constellation Virgo), Mary, Jesus's birth was marked by a star in the East (Sirius) and he was visited by three kings ( the three stars on the belt of Orion, also known as the 'Three Kings'. Jesus had twelve disciples (read constellations) which he traveled around with through the year, and was crucified, dead for three days and then resurrected and ‘he’ went up wards towards the sky.

So who went to heaven and who went to hell?
The one who died during the daytime, before the eyes of the people, say he went to heaven or Horus claimed his soul in the glory of the day. While Seth is more hideous when he takes life. As darkness manifests, beast and savages took life in the darkness and hence they were claimed by Seth, Satan and went to hell. Heaven and Hell.

Who are Seth and Horus again?  The Sons of God.
Who’s the God then? Time.

There is more to all this melodrama. But right now it's my time to sleep.

One last question? If it is Time that is God, how does one worship it?
Simple. Don't waste your time.
