their beads if they use them and recite the names of 99 neteru (deities).
Diagram 54 Nuwaupian red ashutat beads If you do not have or use prayer beads you can say your names, by using your fingertips, as in the diagram below. Each finger is divided into three sections except the thumb, which is used as the pointer. Point the thumb on the right hand to the top section of the right pinkie and count down one, two, three, and then move to the ring finger four, five, six, then to the middle finger seven, eight, nine, and then the pointer finger, ten, eleven, twelve. Return the thumb to the first section of the pinkie and repeat again. You should end at the tip of the pointer finger on number twenty-four. Return to the first section of the pinkie and you should stop at the top of the middle finger back to the bottom of the pinkie and start again, repeating the same process to reach 114
___
thirty-three again. You then return from the pointer a second time back to the lower section of the pinkie and continue the same process until you end at the top of the middle finger again, which gives you your thirty three, which is equal to ninety nine; and then the final one as you caress the beads in your right hand and say that hundreth name, "Hu" -creative force of will.

[he ritual has officially ended. And the end of ashutat (prayer) is ust as important as the beginning. What I mean by this is, after you've sent your appreciation and thanks to Pa Neteraat, take :he time to sit and listen. Let Pa Neteraat speak back to you. 125
___
Jews, Christians and Muslims pray and grovel on the floor asking, begging, pleading and talking. They have made their prayer into nothing more than a "What can I get from God" seSSIOn. When you look up the word pray in the English language it means "to quest, to plea". What people do is beg God and tell God what they want and tell God about their problems. In Jewish, Christian and Muslim prayers everybody is asking for things and never showing any gratitude for the very sun that shines. For without it, in a matter of minutes, life as you know it would cease to exist on the planet. Through monotheistic religions, you have been taught to take and never give anything back. Jews, Christians and Muslims are constantly talking to an unknown God who never answers because he doesn't exist. However, Jews, Christians and Muslims never think that this God just might say: ''I'm just not interested, because I don't likE your nature". They don't think that God might say: "You didn'i give me anything extra" than what was passed down to ym through the generations ". In ancient Egipt, our ancestors prayed and paid respect an( homage to the forces of nature and all of its creatures. This i inclusive of the things you see, hear, taste, smell and feel. The: were thankful for the gifts that had already been given to therr They showed their appreciation for the Ta-earth, the Ma-wateJ and the Re-sun, as in the ancient name of Egipt, Tama-Re. The our ancestors would be silent and let nature speak back to then That is what real prayer was about; not always taking but givin back. And this is why we perfonn our ashutat (prayer) like Ot ancestors, the ancient Egiptians and respect "All's" creation an all creation.

___
This is what they taught of prayer .... You pray in your distress and in your need,. that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and your days of abundance.' For what is prayer but the expansion of yourself into the living ether? And if it is for your comfort to pour your darkness into space it is also for your delight to pour forth the drawing of your heart. And if you cannot but weep when you should, summon you unto prayer, she should spur you again and yet again through weeping until you shall come laughing. When you pray you rise to meet in the air those who are praying at that very hour, and whom save in prayer you may not meet. Therefore, let your visit to the prayer temple be invisible for naught but ecstasy and sweet communion. For if you should enter the prayer temple for no other purpose than asking, you shall not receive and if you should enter into it to humble yourself, you shall not be lifted,. or even if you should enter into it to beg for the good of others, you shall not be heard. It is enough that you enter the temple invisible. I cannot teach you how to pray in words. Listen to the messages of the Neteru to your words save when they themselves utter them through your lips. And I cannot teach you the prayer of the seas and the forest and moulltains. But you who are born of the mountains and forest and the seas and can find their prayer in which are thine into day which are tiline also, we cannot ask you for aught. For thou knowest our needs before they are born in us,. you are our need,. and ill giving us more of thyself, though givest us all. The Holy Tablets Chapter 1, tablet 10
After the recitation kawuuuuuun fliiin, everybody should stand up, face each other, fold your anus, right over left (diagram 55), bow to each other, and say istanjaay ila antuten

(~!\ 1!!!11 "" .Ii- ~.J.. ""I!!!I; ~ "" "" tI!!!I) "salvation to you ". Then you make the orginal ankh cross symbol starting at the point of the left collarbone (diagram 56), encircle the head to the right collarbone (diagram 57), and say Atum. Then move your hands straight down to two inches beneath the navel (diagram 58), and say Atun. Then put your hands back up the center of the throat (diagram 59), then go over to the left shoulder, (diagram 60) and straight back across to the right shoulder (diagram 61) and say Amun. Then drop your hand. This creates the ankh of eternal life over your body. You end by saying istanjaay i1a kull (*'!\ ""1!!!I'l *'.J.."" ~~L.J..)salvation to all". You are "me" and I am "you".
