Green Business, Building, & Seshat

What attracted me to the story of Seshat back in 2009 was that it was noted that she loved knowledge, as I do, she loved genealogy as I do. The only difference between her story and mine, as I could find, was her ability to keep things organized. That is and has been my Achelle's heel.

I was attracted by her ability to connect with the constellation, having myself known since in the womb where I came from and wanting to maintain that connection. Her story showed me that women as far back as 7,000 years ago did have that direct connection with the heavenly realm and it was revered. Science has confirmed that the temples were aligned with accuracy to the stars and here I had found a story written by Egyptians themselves that portrayed a women in its iconography as the originator of these sciences of astronomy, architecture, time keeping, and education. It was this women who directed the astrological portions of these building techniques and who said "put it here", to mark the exact location of the temples. Her symbol was a device to beam locations, her knowledge, and intuition were desired for millennia.

This week I was able to attend a symposium on micro-lending for green businesses, a green business academy, Earthday, and visit the Parthenon to see Athena ("the Goddess", hē theós, whose knowledge came to Greece with the olive tree) who stands tall with a female sphinx on her head, and was reminded of Lady Wisdom's presence right here in Nashville. Today I stumbled across something I noted several years ago regarding the green building techniques  that were a part of the pyramids and thought it was noteworthy for this blog. This is just one of the many ways in which early KMT has influenced my life today.

There is a cement mixture called geopolymer, its green, low energy, low temp, low cost, and good for the environment. When I learned about the reconstruction of this technique the researcher noted that the ancient Egyptians used an environmentally friendly building technique and they wanted to mimic this. The pyramids are durable and use recycled material from the natural environment. The knowledge of how to build structures this durable encompasses material science, chemistry, and physics. This green technology of using LTGS ceramic bricks, instead of traditional building materials, are an environmentally friendly production in construction that taps into the knowledge of the ancients. The knowledge taught in the ancient libraries presided over the Mistress of the House of Books, Seshat.


 
I think that more work needs to be done in the areas of technology transfer in building materials and techniques. Commercialization of green building technologies that are scalable in less than 7 years deserve our attention now, lest we stop building. Geopolymer cement may or may not be a part of the solution, but it can certainly get us thinking in the right direction. When we are able to link ourselves with our environment we will have tapped into that essence within us that aligns us with the source that will in turn allow us to create life continuing "products". When we take a stand and commit to it, thoughts become matter.
