ln just these few passages we read about the earliest written record of the dawning of humanity's structured consciousness concerning ontology and ethics. These sacred writings predate Hebnew, Christian and Muslim ontologies and ethics by thousands of years and apparently contributed to them, Thus, we find for the first time in human history the concept of Logos, i,e., creation through conceptual thought and authoritative utterance; the concept of free will and human equality in Ra's statement on His Four Good Deeds; and a reflective morality which indicates definite social judgments on that which is loved and that which is hated-- and the belief that God word gnant life for the righteous and punishment and death for the wicked. It is interesting and important to note that Ra creates the univense through ma-hat, a term with multiple meanrngs, i.e., righteousness, truth, justice, order, harmony, rightness, evenness, levelness, etc. lts importance lies in the fact that it is a divine concept, power and practice which not only informed and aided Ra's action, but was established as the fundamental concept, power. and practice for- the organization, maintenance and development of human society also. Thus, in each book ma-hat is a center, concern and focus, whether as tnuth, justice, righteousness, order or hanmony.
