The Scarab, Egyptian Mysticism, and the Great Rebirth. (the secrets of Khepri).

This video explores a foundational aspect of ancient Egyptian cosmology: the sun as a divine cycle expressed through three deities—Khepri at dawn, Ra at midday, and Atum at dusk. Each figure represents a distinct phase of solar movement, offering insight into how the ancients understood time, transformation, and the ideas of completion and renewal.

Khepri, the rising sun, is closely associated with the scarab beetle, a symbol of emergence and regeneration.

The sacred scarab, Scarabaeus sacer, plays a central role in the mythos. Its behaviour—rolling, burying, and nourishing life within a sealed sphere—was seen as emblematic of spontaneous creation. This natural process, observed in the behaviour of the sacred scarab, became a metaphor for rebirth and the unseen forces that shape existence.

The scarab’s image was often placed upon the chest of the deceased, as well as on their sarcophagi, signifying renewed vitality and the hope of rebirth.

From a physiological and symbolic perspective, the scarab’s labour may be viewed as a reflection of the great inner transformation. The dung ball, likened to the electromagnetic solar disc, resonates with the awakened bioelectromagnetic nervous system of the initiate. Through quiet perseverance, the seeker cultivates the creative force, drawing from powerful internal resources in a manner that mirrors the beetle’s difficult labour.

The video also references a classical Taoist text, The Secret of the Golden Flower, which draws a parallel between the scarab’s focused effort and the spiritual work of the practitioner. A brief passage suggests that concentrated inner attention may lead to the formation of a subtle body (the immortal fetus or inner pearl). This idea highlights the relationship between natural symbolism and energetic (spiritual) discipline.
