Ikhnaton also saw God as a personality whose “beams nourish every field” and “live and grow for thee.”<ref>Cyril Aldred, ''Akhenaten: Pharaoh of Egypt'' (London: Thames and Hudson, Abacus, 1972), p. 133.</ref> These beams are the very seeds of Light and sparks of Light that form our own threefold flame in the secret chamber of our heart.

Impatient with the practices of priests of Amon at Thebes, the king not only denounced their gods and ceremonies as a vulgar idolatry, but built a new capital for the kingdom, Akhetaten (known to archaeologists as [[Tel el Amarna]]), located nearly three hundred miles north of the ancient city of Thebes. Ikhnaton prohibited the worship of the old [[Nephilim]] gods, particularly Amon, the chief god, and ordered their names and images erased from the monuments. These were both embodied and disembodied fallen angels, to whom the black priests had erected their altars. | Impatient with the practices of priests of Amon at Thebes, the king not only denounced their gods and ceremonies as a vulgar [[idolatry]], but built a new capital for the kingdom, Akhetaten (known to archaeologists as [[Tel el Amarna]]), located nearly three hundred miles north of the ancient city of Thebes.

In his total loyalty to the one God of the Sun, Amenhotep IV changed his theophoric name to Ikhnaton, “He who is beneficial to Aton.” His passionate songs to Aton have been preserved as the fairest remnant of Egyptian literature. | In his total loyalty to the one God of the Sun, Amenhotep IV changed his theophoric name to Ikhnaton, “He who is beneficial to Aton.” His passionate songs to Aton have been preserved as the fairest remnant of Egyptian literature. | ||
