Union

The Egyptian Yoga called Sma or Sema like Indian Yoga is concerned with union.  The union of the dualistic Higher Self  with the dualistic Lower self, leads to Non-duality, the One, singular consciousness.





The Lower Self can be:
- The Lower Kingdom
- The Lower Chakras
- Papyrus
- Set

The Higher Self can be:
- The Upper Kingdom
- The Higher Chakras
- The Lotus
- Heru

Is Ashe and Prana the same thing

"Oludumare/ Olorun is in all things as the ashe is the primal essence of all things. It is not the tree, the rock, the statue that African ancestors revere and worship but the deep energy that brought about its being. In maintaining the “nature religion” the ancestors were able to keep and also strengthen the very real connection between all things and human beings."

To me Ashe sounds like the same thing as Prana.

Prana is  the Sanskrit word for "life force" or "vital principle." Prana comprises all cosmic energy, permeating the Universe on all levels. Prana includes energies present in animate and inanimate objects.
