Re: 'djed pillar'

The tet or djet or djed pillar was originally a human backbone,
and was used mainly as the backbone of Osiris. I interpret
it to mean stability or foundation. In regard to consciousness
after death, the pillar implies maintaining one's continuity of
consciousness, an ability often ascribed only to Adepts.
