Tutankhamun: The holder of the Ankh symbol
I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed it but in the name Tutankhamun, there is the word Ankh in the middle of its name ( Tut- Ankh -Amon). An Ankh mirror was discovered in his tomb.
The twofold esoteric meaning of this discovery is interesting:
- the mirror that represents a portal between the worlds
- the Egyptian cross Ankh which represents the key to life. Ankh also means mirror.
What does all this mean to us?
The message of this Egyptian symbol is that we must always be looking in the mirror of the inner truth to ourselves so that we can monitor our path.
Being honest with ourselves and swearing to live our conscious life we understand that we are no longer able to go back and for good reason, we have opened the door of life with the Egyptian key Ankh.
Once people begin to search beyond the usual pleasures of life and therefore the spiritual meaning of their existence, the deeper meaning and truth of our being and the principles of this life, then and only then, can we understand that the answer (Egyptian key Ankh) is always the beauty and blessing of life itself.
Interesting. I came across the word “archetype ” when I read a paper I wrote for an college class that focused on the symbolic references in a book the paper was written about. I just came across this today and is sort of a coincidence as archetype is not a common thing that is read about. Thanks for sharing.
