Weight of a Feather, Assassin's Creed: Origins fanart, watercolour and acrylic gouache on hot press paper, 17.8 x 25.4 cm

This is one of those that I don't care if no one likes it, or if there are obvious mistakes/things that don't make sense, I'm proud of myself for managing to do it traditionally and that's that. It's for no one but me, I'm just sharing it with you :)

I started it in 2021, even began to paint it, but burnout is a bitch and I couldn't finish it then. Recently I decided to see if I could complete it traditionally and this is the result! It was inspired by a screenshot I took where Bayek's face is entirely in shadow. I then added elements that relate to Ma'at, the goddess of truth and justice, and the ceremony of the Weighing of the Heart, where she'd weigh a dead person's heart against her ostrich feather, to see if they were worthy of going on to the Field of Reeds (a sort of paradise). (Egyptologists don't @ me 😭)

O coração guarda nossos sentimentos e emoções, diante da extinção da matéria essas marcas ganham força através de fótons e elétrons que dão pulsação as batidas do coração e recebem pulso elétrico do timo glândula indocrina cardíaca associada ao chakra cardíaco pelos hindus e yogues, após a morte os legistas ainda encontram sinais ligados ao psiquismo do falecido no coração, como na casa deixadas por hormônios e marcadores de estresse e de sentimentos e emoções negativas como danos causados por vícios e raiva e mais hábitos. Isso mostra que a psicostasía é real e onde quer que vá seu espírito,ou até mesmo seus fótons, lá estará o peso do seu coração enfrentando as garras dos demônios pós conscienciais,. Uma pesquisa feita de forma independente por paranormais e parapsicologia comprovou que ao manipular o coração de recém falecidos com técnicas amparadas pela mecânica quântica como técnicas de emaranhamento quântico, afeta positiva ou negativamente a reação de familiares no pós morte estado de luto, isso demostra que sim mesmo após a morte física, o coração ainda possue átomos que permanecem ligados ao psiquismo do que restou da consciência do falecido, existem inúmeras outras provas da veracidade da psicostasía egípcia, e outras comprovaremos após o nosso desencarne.

MEDITAÇÃO DA DEUSA MAAT, A MEDITAÇÃO DO EQUILÍBRIO CÓSMICO

procure um lugar silencioso e com baixa luz, ou use protetores oculares e auriculares.

sente-se com a coluna ereta e alinhada cabeça com os ombros, ou encoste em uma parede.

Agora relaxe cada músculo de seu corpo até sentir-se totalmente relaxado(a).

Deixe sua respiração fluir nós embalos dos batimentos cardíacos.

Procure desprezar os pensamentos até sentir que seu coração começou a ficar leve, leve como uma pena, como a pena da Justiça.

Equilibre seu corpo balançando de um lado para o outro até encontrar seu eixe de equilíbrio confortável, assim como a balança da justiça do tribunal de Osíris.

Agora sinta como se você tivesse asas e flutue nessa posição pelo tempo que desejar, agora você é o próprio Osíris, sem ódio e sem rancor, livre de qualquer peso no coração, em alinhamento com o coração do oculto.

BENEFÍCIOS: redução da pressão arterial, melhora na imunidade, cura do câncer, evita doenças imunológicas e circulatórios, equilibra os dois hemisférios cerebrais, ajuda na neuro plasticidade, além de rejuvenescer.

A section of the Book of the Dead showing the weighing of the heart by Anubis in the Duat using the feather of Ma’at as the measure in balance. 

[vesse-moricaleo-lusifero]

What’s the difference? Ma’at vs. Ma’at:

ma’at is the principle/order/truth/right way of things. Uppercase Ma’at is the goddess personifying that. They *are* related, but they are not interchangeable. 

If we speak about ma’at we have to speak about isfet.

Ma’at: order, balance, justice, truth, harmony. It’s not just “be nice” but the underlying fabric that keeps the cosmos running. It’s the glue and the firmament of the cosmos. It applies socially, politically, ritually, within your spirit and cosmologically. Pharaohs were judged by how well they maintained it. Your personal life is judged the same way at the weighing of the heart.

Isfet: disorder, untruth, chaos, violence out of proportion, injustice. It’s not just “evil” in a moral sense. It is anything that destabilises the balance. So a lie is isfet. Oppression can be isfet. Also, cosmic threats like Apep rising up against Ra against his solar barque is isfet. 

A quality that does not exist in Kemetic thought is “sin”. Sin does not exist. However, harmony and balance does. In Kemetic thought, it’s less “I did X bad thing, and now I have a checkmark against me” and more “Did I live in harmony with truth, justice, and order? Did I act against it and invoke isfet?” 

Isfet is not a rival principle on equal footing with ma’at. It’s the absence or breakdown of ma’at. However, it is a necessary quality that is required for ma’at to maintain shape and definition. Isfet is not a force that can entirely be defeated. It ebbs and flows naturally. In line with this thought, isfet is not “evil” either. It is also an organically occurring force. It is more like entropy and fills the cosmos where ma’at is broken down, absent, or weak. 

It is the interest of the netjeru to maintain ma’at. This is where Set comes in. Set provides ma’at through the forces that otherwise would be seen as isfet. Set serves the interests of ma’at. He wields what may first “appear” as isfet (violence, chaos, storms, bloodshed), but it is actually ma’at. There is harmony in his actions and the directions he takes as he is in harmony with himself. His “disharmony” is critical to the harmony that comes. The storms that are carried are critical to the health and well-being, balance and growth of the Nile. He must slay Apep through violence, defending Ra’s barque. When we discuss the principle of the heart being weighed against Ma’at’s feather, you’re not just being weighed against the feather that belongs to Ma’at. You are being weighed against the principle and the force of ma’at. Your heart being weighed against the feather isn’t about a tally sheet. It is about whether your life overall is in tune with ma’at. And ma’at itself is a breathing and harmonious force.

Ancient Egypt: The Land of the Gods of Balance and Harmony

Egypt thrived for thousands of years (from before circa 6000 BCE to 30 BCE) as an independent nation whose culture was famous for great cultural advances in every area of human knowledge, from the arts to science to technology and religion. The great monuments of ancient Egypt reflect the depth and grandeur of Egyptian culture, which influenced many ancient civilizations, among them Greece and Rome. One of the reasons for the enduring popularity of Egyptian culture is its emphasis on the grandeur of the human experience. Their great monuments, tombs, temples, and artwork all celebrate life and stand as reminders of what once was and what human beings, at their best, are capable of achieving.
