A Khamitic Approach to Key Character Development" Key Elements
The key elements of compelling character development, according to the sources, involve creating characters that are believable, relatable, and contribute to the overall theme of the story. Here’s a breakdown of these elements:
Believability and Likability: Characters should be believable and not all good or all bad. They should have flaws and good qualities, allowing the audience to see themselves in the character. Even with flaws, the main character should be likeable, perhaps by contrasting them with a more evil antagonist.
Identification: The audience needs to identify with the main character, who acts as a surrogate for them. If the audience cannot identify with the character, they won't care about the conflict or its resolution.
Character Growth: Characters should not make a sudden change out of nowhere to resolve the conflict. The character's resolution to the conflict should be foreshadowed with hints throughout the story. There should be clear growth and change in the character, which can be informed by books on the psychology of character development.
Theme Vehicle: The character is a vehicle for the theme of the story. The character’s traits, decisions, and actions drive the conflict. The protagonist's journey should highlight the theme by struggling with inner demons, similar to the audience's own struggles.
Conflict Driver: The character's wrong ideas, ignorance, bad habits, or lack of spirituality can create conflict. This internal conflict, or conflict with the environment or others, drives the story and leads to the resolution.
Avoiding Black and White: Characters should not be portrayed as simply all good or all bad. The inclusion of flaws allows the audience to relate to the character.
Foreshadowing: There should be clues and hints from the beginning of the story that allow the audience to feel like they saw the resolution coming, without it being a complete shock.
In essence, compelling character development requires characters who are not perfect, are relatable, undergo growth, and serve as a vehicle for the story’s theme, ensuring the audience cares about their journey and the resolution of their conflicts.
The law of Herukhuti is to nurture peace and oneness with all through the impersonal mechanism of cause and effect. All events in the world are governed by the law of cause and effect. If you sow good will and love to others, even if they commit injustice towards you, you will eventually reap good will and love. If you sow ill will to others, even as a self-defensive (vengeance, etc.), you will reap ill will from others."

When Ra Heru Khuti (in the form of Heru Behutet) battles Sethe is clear headed because there is no feeling of emotional and sensual antagonism within him as there is with Set.
There is no mental confusion or doubts about his ability to succeed. This is the sign that he has achieved the state of Heru Behutet, the ability to defeat evil within his being.
Divine Characters as Guide
According to the Ausarian Initiation system, the Law of Herukhuti is to “nurture peace and oneness with all through the impersonal mechanism of cause and effect.”
God does not punish nor and does he protect. Protection comes from the realization of one’s divinity. We are destined to experience challenges/difficulties in life in order to realize the peace that flows from such challenges."
Adversity yields wisdom and power. We experience the influence of the Neter Herukhuti as the desire for guaranteed security and protection. This desire can only be satisfied through Herukhuti's Law of Justice."
