In late Egyptian mythology, the Ptolemy kings of Egypt came up with a kind of union of Egyptian and Greek religion, giving Osiris a Greek appearance, under the name Serapis, and trying to compare their deities with Egyptian ones. For example, the identification of gods and other mythical creatures both religions: Amon with Zeus, Apep with Typhon, Thoth with Hermes, Osiris with Dionysus, Hathor with Aphrodite, Horus with Apollo, Neith with Athena. Thus, there could be no talk of a desire to purify the Egyptian religion. On the contrary, it began to satisfy the people less and less. Firstly, she was devoid of all grace and sublimity. The Egyptians not only were not alien to Semitic fetishism, but developed another kind of fetishism in their myths - the cult of animal symbols and incarnations of deities. For example, a bull, a symbol of male power, under the name Apis, was considered the incarnation of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris in Memphis, Mnevis in Iliopolis, etc.; the ram was sacred to Amon and Khnum for the same reason; the ibis, who foreshadowed a flood by its arrival, - to the god of measure and number Thoth; fantastic desert animal - Setu; the mighty falcon - to his conqueror, Horus; crocodile - to the god of heat Sebek; a jackal and a hyena wandering through cemeteries - underground god Anubis, etc. Cows (Isis, Hathor) or feline animals (Bast, Pakht) were dedicated to female deities as symbols of fertility. These animals were kept at the temples with great honor, uttered oracles, enjoyed cults, and after death received a solemn burial.
The name of the mythical character was borne by Apopi I, the last Hyksos ruler of Ancient Egypt from the XV dynasty.
In honor of Apep (in ancient Greek pronunciation - Apophis), a small asteroid 99942 Apophis, dangerously approaching the Earth, was named.

Having depicted Apophis as a symbol of the hostile force of Ra, the priests left it to their descendants.... they appear in the statues of the pharaohs and priests of ancient Egypt.
Of all the things listed on the cover, we are currently only interested in “The Apep Factor” (Ancient Egypt reveals a secret that will shock the world).

Cosmoenergetics and the Law of Karma
A warning from the priests of Egypt.
First of all, the warning, subtly embodied by the priests in the image of Apep, refers to that part of humanity that is fanatically concerned with the evolution of consciousness, the development of its own energy and the growth of its abilities, through various kinds of practices of immersion in special states of consciousness and connection to the flows of “energies of the Cosmos” . By interacting with energies of a higher order, a person unnoticeably becomes a carrier of these energies. These energies gradually begin to rebuild his energy system.

As a result, mutation processes are genetically triggered in a person, accompanying the transition of the human energy system to the next evolutionary stage. This process, which cannot be controlled mentally by any effort of will, was a subject of particular concern to the priests of antiquity. The thing is that the beginning of mutational processes accompanying the restructuring and formation of a new energy system will always go through the phase of spontaneous cell division of the body. In medicine, this process is known as cancer.
Indicative in this regard is the statistical analysis of the effects on the body of the energies with which the healer interacts in the process of his healing practice. The result of the analysis conducted by specialists from the Russian Academy of National Security was stunning. 7-10 years after graduating from healing schools, many certified specialists who were actively and conscientiously engaged in healing practice died from cancer. This applies not only to healers and psychics, but also to ideologists of spiritual and esoteric schools. It was shocking that such well-known and world-recognized authorities as: Jiddu Krishnamurti, Roman Maharishi, Vivekananda, Ramakrishna, Sri Aurobindo, Mother (Mirra Alfassa), Blavatsky, E. Roerich, Nisargadatta Maharaj, Vanga, Osho, Castaneda and many others also passed away from cancer. Ignorance of the Law, obviously, does not exempt a person from responsibility for non-compliance with it, even if you were Ra himself!
Against this background, an understanding arises of the origin of the internal “brake” of many people who were interested in esoteric practices, but stepped aside in time, as well as the preconceived negative attitude of Orthodoxy towards the occult sciences, knowledge of supernatural forces, and the pursuit of astral practices and subtle energies. The roots of this rejection must be sought in the ancient priestly warning, which was reflected in one of the plots of the biblical narrative.
After Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, “at the instigation” of the Serpent, God expelled them from Paradise, making them mortal. It was previously mentioned that in the ancient philosophical and ideological doctrine the sailing of the “gods in the boat of Ra” symbolizes the process of cognition, and therefore, cognition as such is good. However, from the biblical narrative it follows that with knowledge, nevertheless, something is wrong, which is why God was angry. Otherwise, why were Adam and Eve allowed to eat fruit from all the trees growing in the Garden of Eden, with the exception of fruit from the Tree of Knowledge?
The attitude towards this biblical story, ambiguous at first glance, changes in the light of the warning left by the priests. Unconscious movement along the path of knowledge is harmful not only in connection with the ethical side of the issue. Entering the high energy spheres in the process of learning the occult sciences and, in many ways, blindly, unconsciously following the path of esotericism, includes in a person that which, if he is unaware and unprepared, leads to death. The appearance of oncology is a reaction of the human immune system to internal energetic restructuring that occurs when interacting with high-order energies. In this case, the immune system begins to manifest itself from an unexpected side: reacting to changes in a person’s energy, it launches a program for the self-destruction of the body if the knowledge of the genetic characteristics of energy bodies is not taken into account in the practices of developing abilities.
This inevitable ending, which awaits everyone following the path of self-improvement, is the essence of the priestly warning embodied in Apophis about the existence of the Law, within the framework of which movement along the path of knowledge must be carried out. It is impossible to avoid this fate without having an idea of the Apophis factor - the Law, and without mastering the technology of stabilization and control of the ongoing process.
The practices carried out in temple complexes and pyramids, being the central link in the program of spiritual transformation of a priest or pharaoh, carried powerful energy potential. The energy received during the practices, causing profound changes in the human energy structure, had to be stabilized, transforming into energy perceived by the human energy structure. The transformation of the received energy was carried out at a very deep internal energy level in the process of synchronizing the human energy system with the energy system of the maternal organism of the Earth.
To solve this very important task, the ancient priests used the “Wands of Horus” and pyramids, the idea of creating which was suggested to them by a civilization more high level development, unambiguously, cosmic, since the possibility of awareness by earthlings of these mechanisms is empirically unlikely.
This is the plane in which the main idea of the reasons for the construction of the pyramids and the use of the “Wands of Horus” lies. They were created to synchronize the energies with which a person interacts in order to avoid cancer (subdue Apophis). And all the healing properties that the “Wands of Horus” and the pyramids have are a concomitant effect. The priests of antiquity were fairly healthy people, and by creating and using the “Wands of Horus” and the pyramids they pursued other, more important goals.
The function of the “Wands of Horus” goes far beyond the scope of currently mastered experience, therefore the most common attribute of the statues of the pharaohs and priests of ancient Egypt are the wands, which directly indicates that they were objects of the highest significance.
It is important to note that stabilizing the energy potential with the help of the “Wands of Horus” and the pyramids causes a slowdown in autoimmune processes, therefore the systematic use of the wands and the energy of the pyramids has a positive effect not only on health, but also on the longevity factor. This is indirectly evidenced by ancient texts that tell us that people lived for hundreds of years before the flood, drawing health from the “source of the waters of life,” which were the pyramids and the biostimulant “Wands of Horus.”
Practical scientific experiments have confirmed that the “Wands of Horus” and the pyramids can be used as a means of preventing cancer. In other words, anyone who systematically and daily works with the “Wands of Horus”, taking into account all the nuances, will not get cancer.
When a cancer patient was in the inner field of the pyramid for 12 days, there was a noticeable slowdown in the course of the oncological process, an improvement in general condition and a significant reduction in superficial tumor formations.
A slowdown in autoimmune processes is also observed with the systematic use of the Wands of Horus. (See the section “Some research results on the effects of the Wands of Horus” and the section “Cancer” in the instructions for use of the Wands of Horus).
The conclusions drawn from the analysis of texts and images are obvious, calling into question the reputation of schools of “cosmoenergetics” and other directions throughout the world, unaware of the danger that has entered the lives of not only the “adepts” of the above teachings, but also the people they teach, who have no idea about the ancient warning, and unaware of the threat hanging over them. That is why the “Wands of Horus” and the energy of the pyramids were an integral part of the life of the priests and pharaohs, who did not part with them throughout their lives, correcting the effects of solar and magnetic storms, stabilizing energy processes and synchronizing their energy system with the Earth’s energy system. The use of these tools allowed the priests, having passed the “border of death,” to develop superpowers without compromising their health.
Following the advice of the priests, people working with subtle energies should immediately begin to use tools - the “Wands of Horus” and pyramids to stabilize their energy potential. This will not only prevent the onset of unwanted processes, but also bring the results of practical and meditative exercises to a higher level.
Having deciphered the warning left to us by the ancient Egyptian priests, specialists from the Russian Academy of National Security consider it necessary to convey this knowledge to all people interested in this issue.
Despite the fact that the most important natural phenomenon, the existence of which distant ancestors warned us from time immemorial, has been explained and formulated, it can be assumed that this will cause aggressive disagreement among some people. In this case, having warned readers on the path of self-knowledge about the consequences of practices that do not take into account the characteristics of the human energy system, we reserve the right for those who do not agree with the arguments presented in the material to experience the Apophis factor. From the moment they read this material, the responsibility for ignoring this warning falls entirely on their shoulders.

What the following section of ancient Egyptian knowledge touches upon is directly related to the safety of man and the very foundations of his spiritual and ethical doctrines. The knowledge that will be discussed plays a decisive role, being the key to spiritual insight, and the path that all humanity will subsequently follow.
This is the essence of this knowledge:
By entrusting what each person must do and realize himself to “spiritual mentors” who simplified the surviving fragments of ancient knowledge for the needs of the average person, bringing them to the point of absurdity, humanity provoked the beginning of events, the nature of which people will not be able to immediately understand. With a very high probability, and naturally, the following will happen. Already in the near future, many existing teachings will completely discredit themselves, and humanity will begin to fall into another deep spiritual swoon, the recovery from which will be long and painful. The blame for this will fall entirely on the shoulders of that part of arrogant humanity that, striving for spiritual growth, did not bother with important warnings left in ancient times.
Unbeknownst to themselves, all the esoterically practicing people of the world found themselves face to face with a mortal danger, which they do not yet see, but which has already entered their lives, with the blessing of the teachers they recognized. Some of the "advanced" have already paid a high price, without even having time to realize what happened to them. For everyone else, especially the more fanatical part of the apprenticeship, this fate already awaits.
"APOP - FACTOR OF COSMIC LAW"
In some chapters of the ancient Egyptian book "Sayings of Coming into the Light", the title of which is incorrectly translated as "Book of the Dead", there are texts indicating the existence of factors regulating certain aspects of existence. First of all, this concerns the process of cognition.
"The Boat of Millions of Years" or "The Boat of Ra"
At the center of the ancient Egyptian spiritual and worldview doctrine is the “Boat of Millions of Years,” with the “Great Nine Gods” located in it, led by Ra. The sailing of the “gods in the boat of Ra”, meaning movement in the universe, symbolizes the process of knowledge / self-knowledge /. Movement implies that events occur in space and time, that is, the sensory universe begins to exist as a mass of moving entities.
On the path of movement of Ra and all good spirits walking (along the path of knowledge) from “Darkness to Light”, several dangers lie in wait, embodied in gigantic snakes, the main one of which is called Apep. Being constantly nearby, Apep symbolizes the eternal threat hanging over the rook and its crew.
Boat of Ra accompanied by Apophis
Having depicted Apophis as a symbol of a force hostile to Ra, the priests left descendants with the most important warning about the existence of the cosmic Law as a special property of the surrounding nature. If we consider that the environment in which the boat floats is the body of Ra, for the ancient text directly indicates that “Ra created everything that arose from his essence, and he abides inside, in his creation, as in his body:” then Apep is a phenomenon of a higher “suprauniversal” Law. The serpent is his messenger, controlling all stages of the voyage of Ra's boat. Only wisdom, in the person of Tehuti (Thoth), present in the boat, and strict observance of the Law, in the person of Maat, make further voyage possible. Any violation of the Law - and Apep will absorb Ra, who follows from “Darkness to Light”.
Sculptures of pharaohs holding the "Wands of Horus" in their hands
"Book of Gates", second section, third hour, central part, Boat RA.
Judging by the meaning of the texts, in one of its incarnations the serpent Apep symbolizes the Law of a certain suprauniversal nature, the observance of which makes the navigation of the boat of Ra possible. In another, Apop is the personification of the immune system of nature, the properties and patterns of which, moving along the path from “Darkness to Light,” comprehends and must be taken into account by “Ra and all good spirits.”
If we consider that the highest goal of the pharaoh or priest was to fly up into the sky, and there, in the endless starry space, to sail, together with the solar god Ra, in the “Boat of Millions of Years,” then this is a direct indication that the Law , the messenger of which is Apep, extends to people.

In Egyptian mythology, there are many gods and legends associated with them. Apep (Apep, Apophis) is a huge serpent, personifying darkness and evil, the eternal enemy of the sun god Ra. Apep often acts as a collective image of all opponents of order and light. It symbolizes the primordial chaos, the onset of which the ancient Egyptians were so afraid of.
In general, the snake in ancient Egyptian myths is an ambiguous creature with both good and evil beginnings. In various myths, snakes represent both the light and dark sides. The snake, as a good good beginning, appears as a protector and helper of the gods, pharaohs, the dead and travelers. However, at the same time, in its evil form, the snake appears as the main enemy of light and order in the world.
Apep: symbol of evil and chaos
Belief in Apophis developed during the Middle Kingdom. Its habitat is considered to be the bowels of the earth, where they fought with Ra. Apep reigns in the underworld and waits every day for a new confrontation with the solar Ra to begin. The confrontation between the serpent Apep and his enemy, the sun god Ra, is described in many myths during the Middle and New Kingdoms. But the most complete, preserved and surviving myth is one myth. In it, every night Apep lay in wait for Ra, sailing in his boat along the underground Nile, and, trying to defeat him, the serpent drank all the water from the river. However, Ra won every time.
There was also a version that Apep was one of the senior creator gods of the universe. By the end of the Middle Kingdom, Apep, as a universal evil, was identified with the god Set. It is interesting that Set was initially the protector of Ra, but later he was brought closer to the serpent and began to be considered the god of evil. Ultimately, Set absorbed all the characteristics of Apep and completely merged with him, becoming a single god who identified evil.
However, the image of the eternal enemy of light existed even before the name Apep was assigned to the giant serpent with which Ra fights in the texts of the ancient pyramids. Apep uses his magnetic gaze to absorb Ra and all his assistants. Apep also takes advantage of the help provided to him by other evil demons. However, every time Ra and his supporters are victorious, piercing the serpent with spears and forcing him to return all the water he drank back to the river. After the victory, Ra continues on his way to the general rejoicing of the gods surrounding him.
In another version of the myth, Ra appears in the form of a red cat who cut off the head of the serpent Apep under the sacred tree of life of the city of Heliopolis. However, Apep still returned every night, because he lived in world of the dead. Therefore, he was sometimes perceived as a “soul devourer,” and in order to protect the soul of a deceased person from Apep, a spell had to be placed in his coffin.
All occurring earthquakes, storms, tornadoes and any other cataclysms or natural disasters that bring darkness and destruction were always associated by the ancient Egyptians with the serpent. If Apep began to move in his underground shelter, an earthquake would inevitably occur.
Ancient Egyptian rituals
IN Ancient Egypt Solar rituals were very popular, and an obligatory part of them was the magical overthrow of Apep. The Book of the Dead is filled with descriptions of the struggle between Ra and Apep. There was an idea of the end of the world, when Apep defeats the sun god and plunges the world into darkness. During the annual rituals, the priests performed performances to help Ra defeat the serpent, thereby believing that when the day of judgment came, Ra would prevent the serpent from winning and taking his place.
Among other things, the Egyptians associated Apep with hostile foreigners. But in the Book of the Dead there are descriptions of rituals that can help destroy the serpent. These rituals were performed by a priest or king, who recited spells and performed the ritual actions described in it. To obtain the desired effect, it was necessary to know the correct names and all forms of manifestation of Apophis.
All of them were listed, written on fresh papyrus with paint, after which they were immediately burned. In other rituals, written names were sealed in a vessel and buried in the ground. It was believed that after all this, Apep was defeated, but each new victory was purely symbolic, because every day, along with the solar deity, his enemies were reborn.
