A basic question on Ra

[Bring4th_Austin]

I will just throw in my two cents on this topic. I assumed that the description of Ra as "the sun god" was a superimposition by the cultural traditions of Egypt and wasn't of the essence of Ra's metaphysical nature.

This is completely possible as well. It could be completely irrelevant to Ra as a social memory complex, and was a result of the distortions of the Egyptian spiritual teachings.

I personally feel like the Egyptians connecting Ra to the Sun had to do with the conditions under which Ra was able contact the Egyptians; they recognized the Sun as incredible and divine, focused on this, and this put them in a "vibration" Ra was able to work with. Ra probably went from being "(a) messenger(s) of the Sun" to the Sun God pretty easily once distortions started spreading.
