Khemitology - the study of Ancient Egypt

Joanna Bristow-Watkins has developed Reyad Sekh Em, a healing system which incorporates initiations into the five levels of life as identified by the Khemitians and explained to Joanna by Hakim, an indigenous wisdom keeper and tribal elder who lives by the Sphinx.

Khemit was the ancient name for Egypt, meaning the black lands, so named because of the black silt deposited by the banks of the River Nile. This fertile silt was what made Khemit so abundant with agricultural crops; making it very attractive to powerful nations who fought to occupy the region. Sekh Em (various spellings such as Seichem, Sikkim, SHKM) is listed in Middle Egyptian dictionaries as ‘make complete’, ‘inner master’ or ‘power’. Se Khem - another alternative spelling - would mean ‘born of Khemit’. Ancient Egyptians did not have any vowels in their alphabet so S KH M was just a series of guttural sounds and the spelling in our English language is purely to reflect the pronunciation. Hakim believes that the Sekh Em spelling best indicates the way this healing art should be pronounced.

The name EGYPT was derived by the Greeks, who occupied the area around 500 BC; a stone tablet in Memphis gave tribute to the land Hit Ka Ptah (which became Hi-gi-ptos = Egypt) which meant place of the image of Ptah. Ptah was a prominent deity at Memphis in the Old Kingdom (2700-2100 BC). The language of the Ancient Khemitians was known as Souf. The Greeks regarded Egypt as the font of all knowledge, hence the word Philosophy, derived from Philo - Souf, meaning ‘son of (Philo) the Egyptian Culture’.

The word pyramid is also Greek, meaning what is on the horizon. The Khemitian name for pyramid is Per-Neter meaning House of Nature or even House of the Gods. Many of the ancient pyramids, and certainly the three main ones at Giza, were never built as burial chambers (for example the sarcophagus in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid is larger than the entrance to the chamber) but as places of worship – to be at one with nature and the universe. Built on a massive clockwise white light energy spiral, it was most likely used as an initiation chamber following seven to twelve years of study into the Left Eye of Horus Mystery School (feminine) and seven to twelve years with the Right Eye of Horus Mystery School (masculine). Initiates meditated out on the spiral for between two-and-a-half and four days, returning to their bodies with an expanded consciousness and understanding of unity. Traces of a white powder (known to the ancient alchemists as white gold) secreted by the pituitary gland through the forehead when the Theta state level of meditation is reached, have been found in some of these sarcophagi. A few initiates found the out of body experience so wonderful that they decided not to return to their bodies and ‘died’ in the process – but it was their choice. Some believe the Queen’s Chamber was used to energetically stabilise the initiates after their return, I favour the view that it was used for the final initiation into the feminine Left Eye Mystery School. Hakim believes that the Giza Pyramids were built around 13,000 years ago and the Sphinx over 54,000 years ago, using technology far in advance of today’s. This included sonar cutting equipment and anti-gravitational devices; which enabled them to lift great weights effortlessly.

Life was viewed as a cycle, connected with the sun; which was born every morning in the East and set every night in the West. Nut - the Goddess of the Sky - was said to be give birth to the sun in the mornings and swallow it at night. During the hours of darkness the sun disc was said to travel the Dwat - or void - until it was reborn. The cycle of life was seen as being similar, with no fear attached to either the beginning or end. The Khemitians had no word for death in their language. A dying person was said to be Westing.

It was also believed that we all have the capacity for 360 senses, rather than the five senses that we acknowledge. These other senses are re-awakened by self-empowerment activities including positive intent, meditation, healing energies, attunements and by pilgrimages to key sacred sites. All of these activities raise our vibratory rate and therefore act as triggers for clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience, claircognisance and much more that cannot be readily identified by
current levels of understanding. These senses can also be empowered by the elements. We are said to be over 90% water. Maya (also the name of a major ancient civilisation) and Ankh were both Khemitian words used for water. The Ankh was also the key to everlasting life. An old Khemitian expression said ‘she has life, she has water, she is water’.

The Egyptian five-pointed star represented the five elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. Reyad means ‘Elemental’, like a little piece of Heaven - the source of the Cosmic Spirit - Chi, Prana or whatever we wish to call it. Hakim believes that the meaning of the word within you is much greater than any definition. The five-pointed star also represented the five stages of the sun during the day and the five stages of life: Dawn known as Kheper (the scarab), high noon known as Ra (the ram), the afternoon sun was Oon (the wise), full afternoon sun Aten (the wiser) and finally at dusk Amen (the hidden or veil). Reyad Sekh Em courses include sacred initiations into each of these stages.

The Khemitian population comprised 42 different tribes who together made up the Sesh. Some of the tribes may have been survivors from Atlantis and possibly Lemuria, who escaped the destruction of their lands using Merkaba technology. Khemit was a Matriarchal society with authority being passed down from mother to daughter – only the identity of the mother can be guaranteed.

Bu Wizzer

Bu Wizzer, meaning the Land of Osiris, was an area of Khemit, stretching to Abu Ruwash in the North and Dashur in the South, bordered by the Libyan desert to the west and Helwan to the east. Bu Wizzer incorporated Giza, Saqqara, Abu Sir and Abu Gurab (site of an ancient ruined obelisk). These sacred sites are all linked by a Fibonacci Spiral - a naturally occurring phenomenon which mirrors the sacred geometry of the Golden Mean Spiral. The Golden Mean Spiral is based on the Phi Ratio, which is the ratio featured everywhere in human anatomy.

This is the energy spiral, which passes through the King’s Chamber and is responsible for the heightened energy experienced there. It is why this was such a potent location for the Left and Right Eyes of Horus Mystery Schools Initiations.

Saqqara was undoubtedly a healing metropolis at least 7000 years ago. You can still see the platform used by the healing physicians to diagnose medical conditions. Patients would stand on the stage and the physicians would enter one of 21 chambers surrounding the stage area. These chambers each contained, at around head height, a niche about two foot wide, two foot high and two foot deep. By placing the head inside the niche and concentrating on the patient, the physician made an empathic connection with the patient’s auric field and also with the energy field of the Earth. The construction of the healing temple allowed the signals from the patient to be amplified by underground water flow, which determined what healing treatments would rectify the ailment. These healing chambers and diagnostic niches, normally not accessible to tourists, are visited during our regular Harmony Journeys.

Further study of ancient Khemitian philosophy is featured on Reyad Sekh Em courses operated by Joanna through Harmony Healing.
