CONFERENCE PROTOCOL:
Preparations before attending the Neterian Conference
Physical purity–
- Do not have sex for at least 7 days prior to attending the program.
- Do not eat meat.
- Do not use drugs except those that may be prescribed by a qualified health professional.
- Do not smoke
- DEMEANOR IN THE TEMPLE: Follow these observances to the best of your ability.
- Cleanse yourself.
- Physically- Before coming into the Temple: a) Bathe, b) Do not have sex and c) do not eat meat.
- Speech-Do not utter harsh words to anyone. If you do utter harsh words to someone, resolve that issue before entering into the Temple.
- Mind-Do not come into the Temple harboring thoughts of anger, hatred, greed, lust, jealousy, envy etc.
- Worldly possessions: Do not come into the Temple with cell phones, pagers, loose change in one’s pocket, etc.
- Upon entering the Temple, prostrate yourself before the Divine image, if you are comfortable doing so. If you are not comfortable, it is okay to just offer a Dua. It would then be advised to seek to communicate with a Hemu to discuss the meaning of the prostration before the altar, from a mystical perspective. Next, greet the priest or priestess. If you have any questions about any aspects of the temple etiquette or you need assistance to observe the temple protocol, please consult with any of the designated Unut priests or priestesses.
- GREETING THE SPIRITUAL PRECEPTOR (SEBAI MAA & SEBA DJA)
- Sebai Maa and Seba Dja should be greeted with the term “hetep” while doing the “DUA” posture (! both arms upraised with hands facing outwards towards the preceptor). We generally greet everyone/each other in the same way.
- SITTING POSTURES
There are several postures that are allowed in the Kemetic culture. One is the “cross legged posture,” the “lotus posture,” the “half lotus posture, “sitting in a chair with your legs together and your hands on both sides of your thighs, sitting on the floor (or cushion) with knees bent and legs drawn up in front of the body, soles of feet flat on the floor, and arms wrapped around the knees. The main point is that You DO NOT extend your feet forward (knees straight), especially toward the Divinity or the Sage. (You may extend your legs to briefly stretch). You do not slough over or lay down. *ANY LECTURE BY THE SPIRITUAL PRECEPTOR IS TO BE CONSIDERED AS “SPECIAL” AND DESERVES YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION.
- GENERAL CONDUCT IN THE TEMPLE
You want to be silent rather than talkative, introverted rather extroverted. You want to be dedicated, meditative; if you come to the Hall and the program has not started yet, you want to come in and sit down, prostrate, do whatever is necessary and take your seat quietly.
