Meta. The Egyptian god Amon signifies the darkened belief of carnal man that his inheritance is of the flesh, that his body is material, and that the substance and life that sustain it are material. (See AMON.) No, a very populous and celebrated city of Egypt, was named after the god Amon, and means place or portion of Amon. No signifies the multitude of thoughts in the Egyptian, or darkened, obscure, carnal consciousness of man that go to make up the error belief for which Amon stands, and that give their substance to it.
