I was recently interviewed on a couple of wonderful podcasts:

  • Stephanie Presents: https://www.stephaniepresents.com/podcast/episode/30daf577/crack-the-code-for-a-heroic-life-with-audrey-rindlisbacher
  • Homeschool How-To Podcast with Cheryl: https://thehomeschoolhowto.com/episodes/

We talked about all things life mission, and it was such a joy to be on their shows. I’ll link those episodes below if you’d like to give them a listen.

A quick update on the book I’ve been working on this year—Truth Makes Us Free. It’s coming along! I’ve completed the first five chapters, which make up Part One, and I have a solid outline for the second half. Based on other commitments through the fall, I’m still hoping to release it by the end of the year—fingers crossed! We’ll be creating the cover soon, and I’ll share that with you. We’ll also offer pre-sales.

To help you understand a bit more:
This new book is a companion to everything we do here at The Mission-Driven Mom. It’s a deep dive into some key elements of mission-driven living—especially questions like:

  • What is truth?
  • How is it connected to the natural moral law and to true principles?
  • How is truth the framework of reality—and how does it truly make us free?

When Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free,” He meant it literally. We can search out true principles and apply them to our lives in ways that absolutely liberate us. This book goes into detail about what truth is, how to better understand it, what the natural law framework looks like, and how we can be truly set free.

I also explore the mechanism that allows us to apply those principles to our lives. I introduced it in our last episode when we discussed the two consciences—that inner battle between the divine conscience and the social conscience. That “angel on one shoulder, devil on the other” situation that we all experience. We talked about how to begin ignoring the social conscience and nurturing the divine one—and how beautiful that process is.

That process is what uplevels our character. It’s how we learn to hear God’s voice and His guidance more clearly. And it’s how we become true truth seekers who live out a truly mission-driven life—which, of course, is the entire goal of this podcast.

So what can you expect today—and always—on this show?

We’ll talk about what it means for you and me to live a mission-driven life. We’ll explore how to better understand and live the 7 Laws of Life Mission, and how those laws guide us to the unique work God has for each of us.

With all of that said, I want to spend a few minutes with you today talking about something called Maat. If you know anything about ancient Egypt, you may have heard of this concept—and it’s truly fascinating. What’s even more interesting is how it directly connects with some of the principles we live by in the Seven Laws of Life Mission.

To begin, let’s look at Law One: Loving God. One of the key principles of that law is having a willing heart and mind. As we explore the concept of Maat, you’ll begin to see why willingness was so vital—and how the ancient Egyptians lived it so intentionally. You'll also see how they lived aspects of Law Two: Loving Ourselves, as they learned to govern their hearts and minds, and Law Three: Being Truth Seekers.

So, there’s a lot of good stuff here.

In ancient Egypt, religion was central to everyday life. Their beliefs weren’t just philosophical—they were lived deeply and consistently. One of their foundational convictions was that our time on Earth is just a small part of a much longer existence that began before this life and continues on into eternity. They had a profound belief in the afterlife. That’s where things like mummification, the Book of the Dead, religious scrolls, and their elaborate priesthood and pantheon of gods come into play.

Because they believed so strongly in life after death, they lived very differently here on Earth.

Today we’re going to talk about how the concept of Maat was all-encompassing for them and how it connects beautifully to what we do here at The Mission-Driven Mom.

So what exactly was their paradigm?

The ancient Egyptians believed in a pantheon of gods—male and female—who had children, filled various roles, and interacted with both the living and the dead. Among these deities, there was one supreme god who sat on a throne as king and judge of all. He was considered the Lord of Maat.

For those of you familiar with The Mission-Driven Life or who have participated in our Academy or events, this concept might sound familiar. It closely parallels what we call natural law.

The Egyptians believed that Maat represented the eternal laws of what is good, true, just, fair, and right. They believed there was a real, objective difference between right and wrong—and that it was our responsibility to learn what is right and live it.

What made the supreme god supreme, in their view, was that he always lived according to Maat. He perfectly obeyed these eternal laws. He was the Lord of Maat because he embodied it. His power and divinity were rooted in his perfect adherence to truth.

Think about that for a minute.

Imagine a society where people believe that:

  • They will live after this life.
  • There is a real, knowable difference between right and wrong.
  • There is a supreme God who is supreme because He lives according to eternal law.

That was ancient Egypt. They believed it was their duty to follow the example of the supreme God by living in accordance with Maat—to live in line with truth and justice, and to please God by adhering to those divine principles.

And here’s the most fascinating part of all:
They believed that after death, they would stand before that supreme God and be judged according to the law of Maat. Their lives would be measured against these eternal standards—the same way we would say people are judged according to natural law.

And this wasn’t just theory for them. They lived it.

We know this from ancient texts and traditions that go back all the way to the Old Kingdom—almost to the very beginning of Egyptian civilization, which lasted nearly 3,000 years. What we’re going to talk about today is part of their culture from beginning to end. Maat shaped their religious rituals, their legal system, their view of leadership, and their understanding of morality.

The ancient Egyptians believed that one day they would meet God and be judged. At that moment, their heart would be weighed against a feather. If you're watching on YouTube, I’ll include some images so you can see exactly what this looked like in their ancient inscriptions and scrolls.

In these depictions, there’s a god standing nearby, taking note—writing everything down—while the great God sits on His throne overseeing the entire process. In the middle, there is a scale. On one side of the scale lies the Feather of Maat, and on the other, the individual’s heart.

They believed the heart contained the conscience—your character, your level of virtue, and your intellect. And here’s what I find so profound: the Feather of Maat was a symbol of truth, justice, and divine order. It represented the standard of what is right. If you lived a life aligned with Maat—if you were good, just, and true—then your heart would be light, light as a feather.

But sin and wrongdoing weighed the heart down.

That’s why your heart could be weighed against the feather. If you lived according to Maat, your heart remained light. Your burdens were lifted, your soul was at peace. If your heart weighed more than the feather, it meant you had lived in opposition to divine law, and you were not ready to pass into the afterlife.

Isn’t that fascinating?

This symbolic idea of a “light heart” shows up across many traditions. You’ll find it in the Bible, in the Quran, and in other major world religions. They speak of having a soft heart, of righteousness bringing peace, of goodness making life easier, lighter, and more joyful. This ancient Egyptian imagery beautifully mirrors those truths.

Because they so deeply believed in this final judgment, the Egyptians wanted to be fully prepared. They wanted to be able to pass the test.

Now, in different periods of Egyptian history, they also believed that after death, you had to pass through various gates and give specific names or answers to get through. This is where the famous Books of the Dead come in. These scrolls—often buried with the body—contained everything the deceased might need in the afterlife: instructions, names, prayers, and protective spells.

What developed very early on was the idea that those who could afford it would work with priests—or, if literate, write it themselves—to create a personalized scroll to help them navigate the afterlife. A core feature of these scrolls was a powerful spiritual practice known as the “Negative Confessions.”

We have so many examples of these because they were carved into tomb walls, written on the inside of coffins, and later, included on scrolls placed within the wrappings of mummified bodies.

So, what were these Negative Confessions?

They were statements made by the deceased as they stood before God, affirming what they did not do during their life. The person would say things like: “I did not steal,” “I did not lie,” “I did not harm others.” These confessions were essentially proof of righteousness—evidence that the person had lived according to Maat.

But here’s the catch: they had to be completely truthful. You were standing in front of the all-knowing God. He would know if you were lying. So these confessions had to be uttered with confidence and integrity—a pure offering of a life well-lived.

The implications of this practice are so powerful—for the individual, their family, and for the society as a whole. When a culture teaches its people that they will be judged by eternal standards, and that they must personally account for every choice, it raises the level of personal responsibility and virtue. It shapes how people live their lives day to day.

When they spoke these negative confessions, they were saying to God:
“I lived according to the Maat. I restrained myself from wrongdoing. I sought to be good and just. I am worthy of entering the afterlife.”

I want to share a few of these confessions with you, because what you’ll find is that they align with your own moral compass. They reflect universal truth. I talk about this more in Chapter 2 of The Mission-Driven Life, and I go deeper in the upcoming book How Truth Makes You Free. You can also listen to my podcast episode, What Is Truth, or visit audrewalker.com and download the Truth-Seeker Starter Kit, which includes a recording of a Natural Law deep dive I gave at one of our MDM Celebration events.

Here’s the key point:
This idea of a universal moral law isn’t new—and it isn’t mine. It’s ancient. In the West, we call it Natural Law or Moral Law or The Law of Human Nature. In ancient Egypt, it was Maat. In Hinduism, it’s Rita. In Chinese philosophy, it’s called the Dao. It has many names across cultures and time periods.

But it is the same truth.

It is the moral framework by which men and women can live the best lives possible. C.S. Lewis described it as “the instruction manual for human beings.” God created us, and He wrote this moral law into the very fabric of our being. It’s written on our hearts.

We can know what is right and wrong by listening to our conscience—what I call the divine conscience. And we can nurture it, educate it, and allow it to govern our lives.

This principle—the alignment with Maat, or Natural Law—was so well understood and so thoroughly embedded in Egyptian society that I truly believe it's one of the key reasons that civilization lasted for nearly 3,000 years.

 

It was, and it truly was, the way a person was meant to live. Now, of course, there’s a lot more to the story. The ancient Egyptians weren’t perfect. They had slaves. They enslaved the Israelites. There was corruption. But even with those realities, just the fact that they knew the natural law—and believed they would be held accountable for their behavior, if not in this life, then certainly in the afterlife—is significant.

They believed they would have to confess what they had done—and, even more interestingly, what they hadn’t done. That’s what I love about the "negative confession" tradition. It proves they didn’t believe they had to be perfect, but rather that they needed to do the best they could to live according to as many of the principles of Maat as possible. That effort, that striving, would shape them into a certain kind of people.

Let me share a few examples of these negative confessions. We have many of them—hundreds, in fact. Here’s one from a tomb inscription; I won’t try to pronounce the name, but it's found on the right side of the facade. It reads:

“I have gone from my town. I have descended from my nome, having done justice for its Lord, having contented him with what he loves.
I spoke the good. I repeated the good.
I grasped the right manner, for I wanted the good for people.
I judged two parties so as to content them.
I saved the weak from one stronger than he, as best I could.
I spoke truly. I acted justly.
I gave bread to the hungry, clothes to the naked.
I lent to the stranded. I buried him who lacked a son.
I made a boat for the boatless. I supported the orphan.
I never spoke evil against anyone to a potentate.”

Now, if some bells aren’t going off in your mind right now, they should be—because those words clearly echo Jesus’ teachings.

In Matthew 25, Jesus says:

“Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, ‘Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.’
… ‘Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.’”

Jesus goes on to say that those who failed to do these things will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous will enter into life eternal.

So the same ideas Jesus teaches—care for the weak, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, supporting the orphan—are right there in ancient Egyptian spiritual practice. According to their beliefs, that’s what made someone righteous. That’s what earned them eternal life. It’s incredibly compelling.

I found a great resource that compiles a number of these negative confessions and analyzes the values they reveal—I'll link it for those who want to dig deeper.

Now, I want to turn to my copy of The Book of the Dead. I want to clarify something: there isn’t just one single Book of the Dead. It’s a genre of funerary texts, and what’s commonly referred to as The Book of the Dead is a specific, beautifully illustrated scroll—about 77 feet long—belonging to a priest named Ani. His scroll is one of the most complete and elaborate we have, and it’s often the version that gets published.

Here are some of the confessions from Ani’s scroll—statements he would have made to the gods to prove that he lived in accordance with Maat:

“I have not done iniquity.
I have not robbed with violence.
I have done no murder.
I have done no harm.
I have not defrauded offerings.
I have not diminished oblations.
I have not plundered the gods.
I have spoken no lies.
I have not snatched away food.
I have not caused pain.
I have not committed fornication.”

So yes, they had strict sexual codes, and not committing fornication was an important declaration of moral conduct.

“I have not caused the shedding of tears.”
(This means he didn’t intentionally cause others emotional pain.)

“I have not dealt deceitfully.
I have not transgressed.
I have not acted guilefully.
I have not laid waste to plowed land.
I have not been an eavesdropper.
I have not set my lips in motion against any man.
I have not been angry or wrathful, except for a just cause.
I have not defiled the wife of any man.
I have not polluted myself.
I have not caused terror.
I have not burned with rage.
I have not stopped my ears against the words of right and truth.”

I love that one. It means he didn’t reject good counsel. He didn’t close his heart or plug his ears when truth and righteousness were being taught. He was open to learning and humble enough to be corrected.

“I have not worked grief.
I have not stirred up strife.
I have not judged hastily.
I have not multiplied words exceedingly.
I have done neither harm nor ill.
I have never cursed the king.
I have never fouled the water.
I have not spoken scornfully.
I have never cursed God.
I have not stolen.
I have not defrauded the offerings of the gods.
I have not plundered the offerings to the blessed dead.
I have not filched the food of the infant.
Neither have I sinned against the god of my native town

I have not slaughtered, with evil intent, the cattle of the gods..”

 

These confessions give us incredible insight into the values of ancient Egyptian society—and what they believed mattered most to the gods. It’s a powerful reminder that the natural law, the moral law, was understood deeply and broadly across civilizations. We may use different names—Maat, Natural Law, Rita, Dao—but it’s all the same framework. It’s the divine pattern for human flourishing.

 

And then Ani goes on. He includes these beautiful prayers. I wanted to read you a short section from one of them—this one addressed to Thoth, the Righteous Judge:

“Thoth, the righteous judge of the great company of the gods who are in the presence of the god Osiris, hear ye this judgment. The heart of Seth hath in very truth been weighed, and his soul hath stood as a witness for him. It hath been found true by ritual in the great balance. There hath not been found any wickedness in him. He hath not wasted the offerings in the temple. He hath not done harm by his deeds, and he uttered no evil reports while he was upon the earth.”

That’s what Ani hopes to have said about him at his final judgment—that he is accepted, that he is deemed righteous, and that he passes the ultimate test.

In one of the resources I found, the author makes a fascinating point. She demonstrates that even the gods were subject to the law of Maat—and that they also lived according to it. One passage tells us that the four sons of Horus lived by Maat, but the king merely aspired to it.

So there was this clear understanding that there was a division between gods and men. The key distinction was that men were trying to live according to Maat, while the gods embodied it. The king, then, was attempting to be like the gods by aligning himself with Maat.

Here’s a quote from that ancient source:

“Peppi is one of these four gods—Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef, and Qebehsenuef—who live by Maat, who lean on their staffs, who watch over Upper Egypt.”

Now shifting to a different text: The Instruction of Ptahhotep. This is Maxim Number 5:

“Great is Maat, lasting in effect, undisturbed since the time of Osiris. For one punishes the breaker of laws, though the greedy one overlooks this. While baseness may seize riches, crime never lands its wares. In the end, it is Maat that lasts. Man says, ‘It is my father’s ground,’ while baseness may seize riches—crime never lands its wares.”

These verses convey that Maat was viewed as a primordial condition—firmly founded and enduring. And when activated, it could overcome all forms of wrongdoing.

Maxim Number 19 elaborates:

“That man endures whose rule is Maat, who walks a straight line. He will make a will by it. One who is greedy has no tomb.”

There is also this striking image at the final judgment. I'll link some pictures and the YouTube video so you can see it. There’s a devourer—this terrifying creature—standing next to the god who weighs your heart. As you give your negative confession, if your heart is found wanting—if you haven’t lived according to Maat—the devourer consumes your soul. You cease to exist. That’s quite a consequence.

Here are some of my takeaways from all of this—from the ancient Egyptians’ beliefs and from this principle of Maat.

By making a list of all the things they had not done, according to natural law, they could confidently present themselves before the gods. They wouldn’t have to lie to God. They could stand before Him in honesty, shedding themselves in the best light, while still acknowledging that they were not perfect. They were striving to live by Maat as much as possible, every day of their lives, because they knew the final judgment was coming—and they didn’t know when.

That awareness—of a coming judgment—would produce a lot of self-discipline. Think about it: if you knew you were going to stand before God, and you’d have to say, with full confidence, “I did not do these things,” then that knowledge would influence your daily choices.

This system created an internal framework of personal restraint, one that hugely benefited society. Many of the people who left behind negative confessions were in positions of leadership. They had the means to hire priests or scribes—or were literate themselves—and chose to record how they lived. These leaders shaped culture. They were accountable for their choices and felt obligated to live rightly.

Imagine a society in which leaders are constantly taking care of orphans, feeding the hungry, avoiding murder, theft, and adultery—not because of law enforcement, but because they know they’ll stand before God. That would create a stable, virtuous culture.

One source put it this way:

“The soul is rewarded for living a good and virtuous life.”

That’s a foundational paradigm of Egyptian civilization—and one I don’t think we talk about enough. Yes, they were human. Yes, they did bad things. But their religion was deeply embedded in their culture. It compelled them to govern themselves. It gave them a moral structure. They believed they would have to answer for their behavior, and that drove them to self-discipline. That’s so cool.

It’s undeniable evidence of both the universality of the natural law and the power of a truth-centered life. And if you listened to my previous episode on “What Is Truth?” you’ll be able to connect the dots here. Maat is the natural law. It’s what the Egyptians called it, but it’s the same idea.

One thing I love is how this belief structure shifted the focus. They weren’t pretending to be perfect. But they were focused on living righteously. They were building a mental framework that aligned with natural law. And that’s what we need.

We live in a culture that has stopped asking, “What would God think of this behavior?” And because we’ve stopped asking that, we’ve lost a critical self-correcting mechanism. If we asked that question more often, we’d rein in the drinking, the promiscuity, the obsession with pleasure. We’d ask, “What can I say to God, that He’d be proud of?” “What did I do to honor His law?”

Of course, like any ritual, it could become trivialized. But the consistency of this mindset—over 3,000 years—gave Egyptian civilization a deeply rooted sense of right and wrong.

One last point. I hope it doesn’t sound repetitive, but I’m passionate about this:

There are so many lies in our culture right now. One of them is that ancient people only believed in God because they were afraid of natural disasters. The modern view paints them as primitive—doing rain dances because they didn’t know where storms came from.

But when you actually go back and read what they wrote, study what they built, and understand what they believed, you find a people who were highly sophisticated—morally, intellectually, spiritually. Take ancient Egypt, for example. The structures they left behind are astounding, and the religion they practiced was about far more than managing the elements. It was about moral alignment with eternal law.

Maat wasn’t superstition. It was a moral code. A spiritual discipline. A guide for living in truth.

 

People understood that the foundation of life—the foundation of living a good human life—was understanding what is right and what is wrong, and then living according to it. They also knew they needed to prepare themselves for eventual judgment before God. What that meant was that religion wasn’t the foundation—it was actually an outgrowth of the moral law they were trying to live.

This understanding influenced their daily lives. It tempered their behavior constantly. It demonstrated a relationship between men and the gods. Man wasn’t afraid of God, cowering in a corner, just hoping He would stop the hurricanes. Man was submitting to God’s higher law—trying to please Him with his behavior. He loved and respected and honored God as God, and he worshipped Him. He wanted to show that love and honor through his actions—not through human sacrifice or by just going through the motions.

This was a religion that was experienced every day. It was something you were expected to wake up in the morning and think about: “I have to live a certain way to please God and make sure that my eternal life becomes what I want it to be.” It was a very forward-thinking way of living, and it was all wrapped up in a perception of how humans ought to live—not in a fear of the elements.

I just want to make that clear, because it’s a big, fat lie whenever you hear that ancient people only believed in God because they didn’t understand natural forces.

Now, let’s move to our takeaways as we finish up today.

One of the most common negative confessions in ancient Egypt was that a person never doubted the natural law or the existence of God. They always knew He was real, that His law was real, and that they had an obligation to live according to Maat. This really demonstrates the principle of willingness that is part of loving God. They were willing to admit that God was God, that He was in charge, that it was His rules—not theirs—that men and women had to obey. And by doing that, they believed they could please Him and become the best people possible.

In their culture, the best people were the ones who followed Maat the most closely. That’s a hugely important lesson for you and me.

You could go back and listen to my Charlotte Mason podcast, where I explain some of the ideas from the first volume in her Home Education series. She’s amazing. And what she does is exactly what I want to do—what we’re all about here at the Mission Driven Mom: helping people understand how truth can make them free, and how they can live according to that truth to discover and fulfill their life missions.

Charlotte Mason explains that parents do their children a huge disservice when they act as though people who are pious and go to church are always, no matter what, living more of God’s laws than people who don’t—or who do so less frequently—or even those who say they don’t believe in God. Because it’s all about obedience to God’s laws.

She says that you can go outside, feel the warmth of the sun, and still deny that it exists. People can live according to God’s laws and still deny that those laws come from God. But His laws are always accompanied by blessings.

So our willingness—our humility and teachability—is always going to be the linchpin of whether or not we receive the blessings we seek, and whether or not we solve the problems that persist in our lives. Because the answers are out there. We can find the truth, and it can make us free. The question is: what is the condition of our hearts?

And that brings us full circle, back to the Egyptian view of the heart. The heart must be a willing, teachable heart.

Another principle this really exemplifies is Law 3: Loving Truth. The Egyptians were deeply interested in understanding virtue and core principles so that they could live according to them in their daily lives. These truths were present. They were clear. They were prolific throughout the negative confessions. There was no confusion about what was right and wrong—it was consistent. And, interestingly, it matches our ideas of right and wrong today.

Now, of course, some things—like not engaging in fornication—aren’t as widely accepted anymore. I talked about this in the last podcast. That’s because our social conscience has been distorted. But that’s something you and I can correct. And maybe… one of you listening has a mission to help correct that. That would be incredible to witness.

One last thing, as I mentioned at the beginning: Law 2, Loving Yourself. You can’t really love yourself unless you’re striving for self-mastery. And part of self-mastery is governing your heart and your mind—knowing that God is God, that He loves you, that He has gifts for you. He wants you to uncover those gifts and use them in His service. And He expects you to align your heart and mind with His laws and His will.

That’s how you partner with Him to do things that will have immense positive impact.

If you haven’t listened to many of the Mission-Driven stories on this podcast, I highly encourage you to go back and listen. You’ll begin to see the common threads these mission-driven men and women share: humility, seeking truth, disciplining themselves to live according to conscience. And the story of ancient Egypt’s history is aligned with all of that.

Which means they would have been happier—as their lives aligned more closely with true natural law.

So I want to end by reminding you that you are unique, and you are gifted. God has special missions just for you. You ought to get busy discovering and fulfilling them. And as you do, you’ll watch yourself blossom, your family be strengthened, and your community be blessed.

Thanks for joining me. I’ll see you next time.
