Meh-Urt was the first fulfiller revealed who brought forth the child in nine months.
The Nile inundation was also fulfilled after nine dry months. (NG2 209-10/217-18; 238/248; 513/52) A cubit, like all things, has many meanings, thus forms. There is at least:
1. A general cubit used as a general measure. This cubit is variable based on a person's finger, palm, hand, feet, forearm. This is the same approach used in cooking when each person measures things without using a fixed object. We still use our feet to approximate size or distance. We used handfuls to measure amounts. I often use my height as an approximation of six feet.
In the natural course of things, humans started measuring things using what they had: their body parts. (NG1 25/43 ), (BB 352/364) 2. A standard cubit used as a normalized standard measure. This cubit is fixed based on an object used as a consistent measure. 3. A royal cubit or sacred cubit is a royal sacred measure. This cubit is fixed and variable. (AE2 556/20)
Satem-Meh or Sutem-Mah is the name of this Royal Cubit or Sacred Cubit which was of two types: The first was variable and consisted of seven palms or 28 fingers as a measure of 28 units or divisions (A finger is 1 unit or division. A palm is four fingers, units or divisions). (NG1 217/235). (NG2 310/318)
The second consisted of using an object kept in a temperature controlled environment to minimize expansion and contraction so this object could be used as a standard measure when building royal sacred structures. Now we can define cubit in modern day measurements.
1. A general cubit varies based on each person.
2. A handbreadth is a standard cubit of 3 inches. (Ezekiel 40:5 CJB)
3. A hand-span is a standard cubit of 9 inches. (Ezekiel 43:13 CJB)
4. A standard cubit is 18 inches. (Deuteronomy 3:11 CJB)
5. An old standard cubit is 21 inches (standard plus handbreadth). (2 Chronicles 3:3 CJB)
6. A royal cubit is 24 inches. (AE2 657/121)
7. A royal cubit is 20 to 21.33 inches. (AE1 372/382)
8. As indicated above, a cubit measures more than distance and inches. A cubit can be a unit of measure for anything measurable. For instance, a year is 365 cubits. (AE2 577/41) When we encounter the word cubit, comparisons will be less accurate unless we know which type of cubit is being used. We still find measurements stated in terms of body parts. Horses are measured in hands (equal to 4 fingers which has been standardized to mean 4 inches). Spirit as drinking alcohol is measured in fingers. Of course, foot has been standardized to 12 inches. Stepping back to what we've been learning, we see how cubit is related to all words that refer to total, totality, entirety, whole, circle, perimeter (as in meter), ter, tree, water, item, tem, tum, as and more.
Although we have not yet found detailed explanation, we can also be certain cubit is a form of khu, khubi, khuti, khu + bit, khub + it, khubet Ultimately khu is spirit-soul. A cubit is a division of spirit-soul; therefore a cubit is a measure of that division. The first division was two. Two cubits is the basis which is why it represents Maat as the Two Truths. (BB 52/64, 115/127, 405/417), (NG1 199/217)
KhuKhu Cubits
Interestingly, the measure of each elemental soul of life is nine cubits but in one instance that equates to 15-16 feet and in another instance it equates to 18 feet. This is related to the two royal sacred cubits listed above. Since the difference in the two types of royal cubit is 4 inches, this could be due to the growth from prepubescence to pubescence. Further investigation reveals the difference is likely due to the glorious ones in Amenta Below who reach the mountain in the east and are reunited in a holy kiss with the three powers of the east (trinity of mother, father and child). Based on this increase of energy (3 additional measures of spirit), the difference in size of the glorious ones can be described as pre-kiss and post-kiss. This also explains why we feel larger after receiving a kiss. (AE2 677/144) Another way to account for the growth in the size of the elemental souls is, instead of increasing the size of the cubit, we increase the number of cubits. Therefore the powers of the east could also do just that. Each elemental soul of life is the composite of all seven elemental souls. Each soul is added to the initial two truths of spirit-soul, thus we have 2 + 7 = 9 cubits, then this is doubled to show each elemental functioning under each truth, thus 2 x 9 = 18. Example 1 shows increase in the size of the cubit from 20 to 24 inches:1. Pre-kiss elemental souls: 9 cubits of 20 inches = 180 inches / 12 = 15 feet
2. Powers of the east............ 3 cubits of 12 inches = 36 inches / 12 = 3 feet
3. Post-holy kiss ...................9 cubits of 24 inches = 216 inches / 12 = 18 feet Example 2 shows increase in the number of cubits from 9 to 12:
1. Pre-kiss elemental souls: 9 cubits of 20 inches = 180 inches / 12 = 15 feet
2. Powers of the east............ 3 cubits of 12 inches = 36 inches / 12 = 3 feet
3. Post-holy kiss ….............12 cubits of 18 inches = 216 inches / 12 = 18 feet This then explains the change from the old standard cubit of 21 inches to the standard cubit of 18 inches.
This also helps us remember what we already know. A circle is one size. When divided, the size of each division is smaller as the number of divisions increase. Likewise, when added, the size of each division is larger as the number of divisions decrease.
On the other hand the size of the circle can be expanded. When this occurs, the size one or more divisions increases, while the total number of divisions remains the same. Likewise when a circle, universe or object contracts, the size of divisions decrease, but the number remains constant. All of this is taking place. If a standard cubit is 18 inches and humans today are measuring things based on 12 inches as a foot, then we are actually measuring things in terms of 2/3 cubits. We are still using cubits whether we know it not. Same applies to meters/metres. Whether we agree or not, everything is a measure, unit and division of time, space, energy and matter, all of which is spirit-soul – khubytes of genetic logic. References: BB; NG1; NG2; AE1; AE2
