AKERT, THE UNDERWORLDA symbol of the lower quaternary, i.e. the four lower planes of nature. "Homage to thee (Osiris), O Soul of everlastingness, thou Soul that dwellest in Tattu, Un-nefer, son of Nut; thou art lord of Akert (the underworld) (Litany to Osiris).—BUDGE, Book of the Dead, Ch. XV. “The Higher Self is invoked as the "Good Being" brought forth of space (Nut), and supreme over the lower nature. "The Egyptian sphinx plays the part of guardian of a temple or deity, and hence the god Aker, the watchman of the Underworld and the guardian of the god Ra during the hours of the night, is generally shown as a Sphinx with the body of a lion when represented as going forth to destroy the enemies of the Sun-god." - WIEDEMANN, Rel. of Anc. Egyptians, p. 194. The higher nature within the lower overcomes the desires (enemies). |
