Sigmund Freud, as most know, is best known for developing the psycho- analytic approach to psychology, however, It is probably a little known fact that Sigmund Freud was by hobby, an Egyptologist who made a significantly important connection between the Egyptians and the Israelites in regards to monotheism: the worship of one God. 
In a perfect historical time line the arrival of the children of Israel in Egypt would be around 1080 BC, which puts the exodus of the children of Israel around 1480 BC. Moses was 80 at the time.
The Egyptian emperor Akhenaten ruled Egypt for seventeen years passing away around 1336 BC which places him one hundred years before Moses and in the last quarter of the Israeli settlement in Egypt.
To further validate or disprove the time line in an effort to clear up any Hollywood misinformation, Ramses II is often credited theatrically as the Pharaoh in the Exodus story but, historical records puts Ramses II living around 1123 BC to 1213 BC which is a couple of hundred years before the historically perfect exodus time frame.
The fact is, that Ramses II was one of the most powerful and longest reigning emperors of the new kingdom and many emperors after took his name in honor of him so, the Ramses in the exodus story could have been one of many. 
What Akhenaten was most noted for was that he abandoned the traditional polytheistic (worship of many Gods) view of Egypt for a one God system. The name of Akhenaten’s one God was Aten and was represented by the sun making it what is called heliotheism which is the worship of the sun.
This is the connection that Freud made between the Egyptians and the children of Israel. The children of Israel, historically speaking, were at one time indigenous to the worship of a one God system.
There is much speculation as to whether or not Akhenaten stole the idea from Israel or that Moses stole the idea from Akhenaten. Either way, the concept was revolutionary and I feel, crucial to the evolution of spirituality. 
The awareness of the Egyptians did come to be that there was one God that ruled over all other Gods though they still continued to worship their many Gods.
If I were to describe how this would feel mentally, I would say. That the many Gods of Egypt were the aspects of the psyche that the people cling to through superstition while being ever aware that there was indeed one true God that came before them all who is the first and the last as spoken by the prophet Isaiah and, what God gave unto Moses, the Torah, was the most powerful weapon that the children of Israel carried across the Jordan with them into the land of Canaan. The unity of the one true God in there souls would give them prevalence for as long as they kept the law.

The Intimate Death

In Lloyd Chandler's folk song “conversations with death" later made popular by various artists and most popular by blue grass recording artist Ralph Stanley, death is once again given depiction entitatively as a spiritual being born of Appalachian bible belt southern folklore.  “ I’ll fix your feet till you can’t walk” says death to its unfortunate victim in the song. I’ve heard it said of the old timers how people talked about their legs going cold giving them indication that they were were dying. This feeling of icy cold associated with the touch of a spirit whose one purpose in existence is to rend spirit from flesh, knowing no barter other than the coin passed or prayer spoken for mercy in itself becomes the spirit if mercy in distant whispers that quiet pain with cold numbness. This spirit calls the soul away locking bone and muscle in place like a door forced closed till there is nowhere to go but out. These days, however, outside of sudden tragedy, we die differently, f...

To Profile Possession

For the purpose of exorcism or the blessing of a home or land to rid it of unclean spirits, it is important to know exactly what you are dealing with before hand, where it came from, and how it came to be in the geographical perception of where it is now. To do that, you would start with the who? Below, I have outlined some different types of summoner or spiritualist in correlation to how or what they would summon. The first being, Primo-scriptural.    Primo-scriptural : primo-scriptural is a compounding of the words “primordial” and “scriptural.” This type of summoner would be someone with a basic education and an inherent ability to be charismatic. Their education of the spiritual would be most likely limited to Bible scripture therefore, the demons they would summon or spirits they would call upon would be the ones they were familiar with from the Bible. They’re methods would be the same as those from the Bible as well. A crude alter and, or a perversion of rites in...
