THE TWELVE DIVISIONS OF THE DUAT

Yet the Egyptians possessed a deeper wisdom concerning the inner circle of the Duat: it had twelve inner divisions that correspond to the first twelve layers above the half measure, identified by the Vedic seers as the twelve adityas.

We find, therefore, that the Vedic and Egyptian seers agreed regarding the inner reality of the sun. Both viewed the inner circle of the sun or the inner circle of the Duat as having twelve inner divisions. Further, we should not ignore the fact that these twelve divisions are related to the circle of the sun. According to the ancient science of the gods, the universal gods determine their own celestial manifestations. By virtue of their nonlocal synthesizing power, they determine the cosmological wholes that are created from the microscopic parts of creation.
