An archetype existed at the “psychoid” level,
which was below that of individual collective unconsciousness,
where the organic and inorganic
meld and merge into psychoid matrices
which, if nudged by the right archetype,
would produce a reality-construct so astonishing
that it would appear like

Louis the Loon’s mind is a powder keg, primed and ready to blow. His fuse has been lit, and has reached its end. He gasps involuntarily – an aspirated implosion rippling into stillness – as his body ceases its struggle. We are pure mind, pure thought, pure spirit. Such is the Universe from which we are, from which we were and from which we will always be, inseparable.

the love bomb is commonly used as a weapon,
a form of psychological manipulation
that is used to maintain power and control in a relationship.
Pimps and gang leaders use it to encourage loyalty and obedience.
Cult leaders have practiced it to coerce followers

Origin
the rediscovery of this infinite and eternal Wholeness
is men’s and women’s single greatest need and want.
For not only is Atman the basic nature of all souls,
each soul or each subject knows or intuits that
his prior Nature is the infinite and the eternal,
All and Whole – he is possessed,
that is, with a true Atman intuition.
- Ken Wilbur
The Atman Project
This “true Self” is the Buddha-nature,
which is present in all sentient beings,
and realized by the awakened ones.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atman_Buddhism
“Atman” in early Buddhism
may simply refer to the sense of “I am”,
similar to the pre-Buddhist Upanishads of Hinduism,
which link the feeling of “I am”
to a permanent “Self”.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atman_Buddhism
Ātman, attā or attan
in Buddhism is the concept of self,
and is found in Buddhist literature's
discussion of the concept of non-self (Anatta).
Most Buddhist traditions and texts
reject the premise of a permanent, unchanging atman (self, soul).
However, some Buddhist schools, sutras and tantras
present the notion of an atman (/ˈɑːtmən/)
or permanent "Self",
although mostly referring to an Absolute
and not to a personal self.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atman_(Buddhism)
Ātman and atta refer to a person's "true self",
a person's permanent self, absolute within,
the "thinker of thoughts, feeler of sensations"
separate from and beyond
the changing phenomenal world.
The term Ātman is synonymous
with Tuma, Atuma and Attan
in early Buddhist literature,
state Rhys David and William Stede,
all in the sense of "self, soul".
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atman_(Buddhism)
Etymology
Cognates (Sanskrit: आत्मन्) ātman, (Pāli) atta,
Old English æthm, German Atem, and Greek atmo-
derive from the Indo-European root *ēt-men (breath).
The word means "essence, breath, soul."
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atman_(Buddhism)
The words were breathed sounds
scarcely differentiated from one another,
but nevertheless vehicles. Such as it was,
this ill-defined speech sufficed
for the great works of the beginning of all things.

etymology (n.)
late 14c., ethimolegia
“facts of the origin and development of a word,”
from Old French etimologie, ethimologie
(14c., Modern French etymologie), from Latin etymologia,
from Greek etymologia “analysis of a word to find its true origin,”
properly “study of the true sense (of a word),”
with -logia “study of, a speaking of” (see –logy)
+ etymon “true sense,” neuter of etymos “true, real, actual,”
related to eteos “true,” which perhaps is cognate
with Sanskrit satyah, Gothic sunjis, Old English sod “true.”

In very simple terms,
Sat means Truth and Nam means Name.
You could translate it as True Name or Truth is my name.
It is a way of acknowledging that at our essence is the Essence.
The “Truth”, which is bigger than any human
truth, isn’t a matter of right or wrong
or even a concept that we can clearly articulate.
It is simply an acknowledgement
that the Great Mystery is who
we are.

‘the Great God, the Secret of the Duat’.
Other texts refer to this motif as ‘the Secret Mound,
in which there is the interior of the great mystery’.
- Mark Lehner
The Complete Pyramids
The Duat was the region through
which the sun god Ra traveled
from west to east each night,
and it was where he battled Apophis,
who embodied the primordial chaos which
the sun had to defeat in order to rise each morning
and bring order back to the earth.
It was also the place where people's souls went after death for judgement,
though that was not the full extent of the afterlife.
Burial chambers formed
touching-points between
the mundane world and the Duat,
and the ꜣḫ (Egyptological pronunciation: "akh")
"the effectiveness of the dead",
could use tombs to travel
back and forth from the Duat.
Each night through the Duat
the sun god Ra traveled,
signifying revivification as the main goal of the dead.
Ra traveled under the world upon his Atet barge
from west to east, and was transformed
from its aged Atum form
into Khepri, the new dawning sun.
The dead king, worshipped as a god, was also central to the mythology
surrounding the concept of Duat, often depicted as being
one with Ra.
Along with the sun god the dead king had to travel through
the Kingdom of Osiris, the Duat,
using the special knowledge he was supposed to possess
which was recorded in the Coffin Texts,
that served as a guide to the hereafter
not just for the king but for all deceased.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duat
death (n.)
Old English dea "total cessation of life, act or fact of dying,
state of being dead; cause of death," in plural,
"ghosts," from Proto-Germanic *dauthuz
(source also of Old Saxon doth, Old Frisian dath, Dutch dood,
Old High German tod, German Tod, Old Norse daui,
Danish dd, Swedish dd, Gothic dauus "death"),
from verbal stem *dau-, which is perhaps from PIE root *
dheu- (3) "to die" (see die (v.)).
With Proto-Germanic *-thuz suffix indicating "act, process, condition."

dhat
Essence
(Dhat). The Essence. This is Allah in Himself
without regard to His creations, His Attributes or His Names.
The Essence is beyond knowledge or conceptualization.
Allah warns us of this aspect of Himself.
The Essence is Absolute Blindness,
the Hidden of the Hidden, the Unknown of the Unknown.
This is the World of Absolute Non-manifestation.

the dhat, the essence,
which is so powerful that
it can transform whatever comes into contact with it.
It is the essence of man,
which partakes of what people call the divine.
It is “sunshine,”
capable of uplifting humanity to a next stage.
We can go much further than this.

Atum
Origin: Egyptian. Sun god and Creator god.
- Michael Jordan
Encyclopedia of Gods
Atum’s cult centered on the city of Heliopolis
(Egyptian: Annu)
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atum
In the Book of the Dead,
which was still current in the Graeco-Roman period,
the sun god Atum is said to have ascended from chaos-waters
with the appearance of a snake,
the animal renewing itself every morning.
Atum is the god of pre-existence and post-existence.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atum
In the Heliopolitan creation myth,
Atum was considered to be the first god,
having created himself, sitting on a mound (benben)
(or identified with the mound itself),
from the primordial waters (Nu).
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atum
Tatenen (also Ta-tenen, Tatjenen, Tathenen,
Tanen, Tenen, Tanenu, and Tanuu)
was the god of the primordial mound
in ancient Egyptian religion.
His name means risen land or exalted earth,
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatenen
Tatenen represented the Earth
and was born in the moment it rose from the watery chaos,
analogous to the primeval mound of the benben
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatenen
The Benben Stone was believed to be the beacon
for the mythical Bennu Bird,
a phoenix-like bird with beautiful red and golden feathers
that sheltered in the Tree of Life, at Heliopolis.
- http://www.landofpyramids.org/ben-ben-stone.htm
the Bennu Bird, the divine bird of creation
and inspiration for the Greek Phoenix.
The Bennu Bird was closely associated with Atum, Ra, and Osiris.
It was present at the dawn of creation as an aspect of Atum (Ra)
which flew over the primordial waters and woke creation with its cry.
Afterwards, it determined what would and would not be included in creation.
It was associated with Osiris through the imagery of rebirth
as the bird was closely connected to the sun
which died each night and rose again the next morning.
- https://www.ancient.eu/article/885/egyptian-gods---the-complete-list/
The identification of the pyramid
with the sacred ben-ben stone in the temple of Heliopolis
is another sign that the pyramids were sun symbols.
To understand the ben-ben we must begin with Atum,
probably the earliest god worshipped at Heliopolis.
An aspect of the sun god, he is the ‘old’ sun of the evening
- Mark Lehner
The Complete Pyramids
the oldest creator god;
in his most primeval form he was the singularity
within the primeval waters of the Abyss.
The root, tm, in Atum’s name means ‘complete’, ‘finish’,
yet also ‘not-be’.
In later texts Atum is ‘Lord of Totality’, and ‘ the Completed One’,
and in the Pyramid Texts he is ‘self-developing’ or ‘self-evolving’.
Atum is a chthonic god
- virtually everything that exists is part of his ‘flesh’,
having evolved as his ‘million of kas’.
How did this evolution begin?
- Mark Lehner

For explanations of this psychological kind,
the result of actual experiences of a successive nature,
the dervishes were considered by orthodox theologians to be apostates,
discounting the literal interpretation of the Scriptures.
But the historical reality or the folklore version of Scriptural stories are of no interest
to the dervish. He has transcended the vehicle.

It is believed that there was also a goddess
Dumuzi from Kinunir near Lagas.

as the consort of the Goddess Inana.
He is the first “dying-and-rising” god to be
historically recorded by name.
- Michael Jordan
Encyclopedia of Gods
The late nineteenth-century Scottish anthropologist
Sir James George Frazer wrote extensively about Tammuz
in his monumental study of comparative religion The Golden Bough
(the first edition of which was published in 1890) as well as in later works.
Frazer claimed that Tammuz was just one example of the archetype
of a "dying-and-rising god" found throughout all cultures.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumuzid#Dying-and-rising_god_archetype
Frazer's arguments were criticized as sloppy and amateurish from the beginning,
but his claims became widely influential
in late nineteenth and early twentieth century scholarship of religion.

In Greek mythology Dionysus, the son of Zeus
was a horned child who was torn to pieces by Titans
who lured him with toys, then boiled and ate him.
Zeus then destroyed the Titans by thunderbolt
as a result of their action against Dionysus
and from the ashes humans were formed.
However, Dionysus' grandmother Rhea
managed to put some of his pieces back together
(principally from his heart that was spared)
and brought him back to life.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying-and-rising_deity
The most striking parallel
between the mythic traditions of Osiris and Dionysus
is that they both share
a similar dismemberment and resurrection myth.
- www.artic.edu/~llivin/research/greeks_egyptian_gods/index.html
a scholar of religion, points out how a number of those
often defined as dying-and-rising-deities, such as
a number of figures in ancient Greek religion,
actually died as ordinary mortals,
only to become gods of various stature
after they were resurrected from the dead.

Another of these gods
whose supposed death and resurrection
struck such deep roots
into the faith and ritual of Western Asia is Attis.
He was to Phrygia what Adonis was to Syria.
Like Adonis, he appears to have been a god of vegetation,
and his death and resurrection were annually
mourned and rejoiced over at a festival in the spring.
The legends and rites of the two gods were so much alike
that the ancients themselves sometimes identified them.

In an even older tradition,
Nammu, the goddess of the primeval creative matter
and the mother-goddess portrayed as having
“giving birth to the great gods,”
was the mother of Enki, and as
the watery creative force,
was said to preexist Ea-Enki.
Benito states “With Enki it is
an interesting change of gender symbolism,
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enki
This may be a reference to Enki’s hieros gamos
or sacred marriage
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enki
Heiros gamos or Heirogamy
(Greek "holy marriage")
refers to a sexual ritual that plays out
a marriage between a god and a goddess,
especially when enacted in a symbolic ritual
where human participants represent the deities.
It is the harmonization of opposites.
The notion of heiros gamos does not presuppose
actual performance in ritual,
but is also used in purely symbolic or mythological context,
notably in alchemy
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_marriage
The traditional “La Bamba” is often played
during weddings in Veracruz,
where the bride and groom perform the accompanying dance.
Today this wedding tradition is observed less often than in the past

"The manifestation of the sacred
ontologically founds the world".
According to this view,
all things need to imitate or conform to the sacred models
established by hierophanies, in order to have true reality:
things "acquire their reality, their identity,
only to the extent of their participation
in a transcendent reality".
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierophany
According to the early scholar Samuel Noah Kramer,
towards the end of the third millennium BC,
kings of Uruk may have established their legitimacy
by taking on the role of Dumuzid as part of a "sacred marriage" ceremony.
This ritual lasted for one night on the tenth day of the Akitu,
the Sumerian new year festival, which was celebrated annually
at the spring equinox. As part of the ritual, it was thought that
the king would engage in ritualized sexual intercourse
with the high priestess of Inanna, who took on the role of the goddess.
In the late twentieth century, the historicity of the sacred marriage ritual
was treated by scholars as more-or-less an established fact,
but, in the early 2000s, largely due to the writings of Pirjo Lapinkivi,
many scholars began to reject the notion of an actual sex ritual,
instead seeing "sacred marriage" as a symbolic rather than a physical union.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumuzid
The union is realized by the practitioner
as a mystical experience within one's own body.

It is suggested that there are two parts to the Tiamat mythos,
the first in which Tiamat is 'creatrix',
through a "Sacred marriage" between salt and fresh water,
peacefully creating the cosmos through successive generations.
In the second "Chaoskampf" Tiamat is considered the monstrous
embodiment of primordial chaos.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamat
This mingling of waters was known in Sumerian as Nammu,
and was identified as the mother of Enki.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enki
It is thought that female deities are older
than male ones in Mesopotamia
and Tiamat may have begun
as part of the cult of Nammu,
a female principle of a watery creative force,
with equally strong connections to the underworld,
which predates the appearance of Ea-Enki.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamat
Nammu is identified in various texts
as the goddess of the watery deeps.
As the consort of An she is the mother of Enki
and the power of the riverbed to produce water.
Alternatively Nammu is the progenitrix of An and Ki,
the archetypal deities of heaven and earth

To this goddess was born a boy child,
who was known as the "Young God".

An Ingui is also listed in the Anglo-Saxon royal house of Bernicia

Since the Ingaevones form the bulk

and Grigsby remarks that on the continent
“they formed part of the confederacy known as the ‘friends of Ing’
and in the new lands they migrated to in the 5th and 6th centuries.
In time they would name these lands Angle-land,
and it is tempting to speculate
that the word Angle was derived from,
or thought of as a pun on,
the name of Ing.”

Half-asleep, Louis mumbled as he kicked the sheets off his body.
"Fuggmeh."
"You're awake? Good. Your fever broke in your sleep, about an hour ago. There's water in the cup on the table next to you. You should drink some of it."
Louis slowly realized he knew the female voice that was speaking to him. Still in a haze, he flipped in bed to face her. Phoenix's coquetish eyes smiled down at him. She turned away as she spoke.
"I'll get your clothes."
Louis grabbed the cot's cotton sheet and wrapped it around his waist as he stood. His head swam, his peripheral vision darkened and shrank. Louis sat back down on the cot and rested his forehead in the palm of his hand, groaning. His tongue was slow to awake.
"Whad jusd happennd?"
"You were very sick. For a while, I wasn’t sure you were going to make it."
“Ma head iz zdill zduck inna fog.”
Louis strained to pull himself out of his stupor. Her back turned to him, Phoenix bent over to pick up Louis’ clothes from where they lay atop a trunk. His whisper was almost inaudible.
"Fuck me."
She growled softly, almost purring, in reply. Her teeth grabbed at his earlobe. Her words were warm and wet, inviting.
