This notice to the Law of Karma is remarkable, the concept was understood and revered since King Melchizedek (about 400 years before the story of Moses), but the author’s use of the Karmic concept in conjunction with the Egyptian court’s sin is now becoming clearer.  The sin of the Egyptians, according to this author, was that they lost the ability to differentiate between the symbol, the object which they use to focus, and the object which should be the focus.  The inner doctrine, over which the royal court was protector, of the so-called serpent power of spiritual consciousness which is raised through the aspects to enlightenment, became for them a mere worship of the literal serpent.  Irony is seen in the situation by the author.  Egypt’s protectors of the inner doctrine started worshipping the literal B and the literal turned to bite the literally.  As Moses proceeds to lead the newly formed motley group of ‘habiru’ (habiru = wanderers, the word possibly stuck and became Hebrew in later years) out of Egypt the problem of idolatry remained the focus of their training.  The Hebrews had to keep practising to worship and understand an unseen God.  For the first 1 000 years the struggle with the henonistic problem (thinking that their god is the Lord of the heavenly hosts, and that their tribe has sole franchise to that god) and later they struggle with the dualism when Satan enters their theology from Zoroastrianism.  Egypt had lost the franchise to worship the mystical, and a newly formed group is appointed to be guardian over the mysteries B until they too lose their franchise 2 000 years later and Yesu comes, like Moses, to take it elsewhere.
