Ramses III Meet Hamlet

Ramses III lived in psychological turmoil after his encounter with Moses, the prophet. He believed that Moses was threatening his existence as he could have definitely dispossessed his throne. Consequently, he started to attire Hamlet’s garment and plunged himself into Hamlet’s existentialism.

Sometimes the spirit of Hamlet’s ghosts dipped into distraction, compulsion and preoccupation reflected itself in the ambiance of Ramses III’s chamber. In matter of weeks, Ramses III seemed to be more easily absorbed into the word one and the rhythmic pattern of his breathing. Paradoxically, he found that when he was not actively thinking, his awareness had become broader and clearer than usual.

Whenever Ramses III had heard any news about Moses, he felt as if there was no a sanction to resort to. Feeling frightened, he decided to close his eyes and see if meditating, focusing all his attention on something other than adhering himself to Hamlet’s scruples and yielding to anticipated pain, could somehow have helped. When the moment of transferring himself from the state of meditation into the state of falling asleep had come, he reluctantly opened his eyes.Thirty minutes passed. To his astonishment, all the disillusions went away and felt no pain. He felt as if he had experienced an aura emerged from a Pharaonic amulet and did not lead directly to migraine. In effect, he had gained control of an involuntary inner conflict. He used the same technique the next time he experienced an aura.

Having that experience of meditation encouraged Ramses III to practice how to frame himself into the right mood of meditation. He decided to close his eyes and focus on repeating the word one silently while breathing slowly and rhythmically. Very rapidly, he lost his track of time and became absorbed, instead of yielding to the inner conflicts, into his meditative process. The longer he sat, the calmer he felt. When he started to surrender to moments of relaxation, Hamlet’s ghosts had begun to stir his emotions to mold them into a melting pot dyed with everlasting inner torture. It occurred to him that he had stumbled onto a piece of a much bigger puzzle. What seemed to interest RamsesIII was the unique consciousness that would be of great assistance for him to control pain, and the possibility of establishing a relationship between his inner self and the reality he was living with the purpose of seeking wisdom.
