  Khepri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The origin of belief in Khepri lies in the observation that Scarab beetles have a habit of pushing large balls of dung around, and so some Egyptians came up with the idea that the sun moved across the sky because it was being pushed by such a beetle.
Since Khepri was considered to push the sun, he gradually came to embody aspects of the sun itself, and therefore was a solar deity.
Khepri was principally depicted as a whole scarab beetle, though in some tomb paintings and funerary papyri he is represented as a human male with a scarab as a head.

Only on page 20 khepri, very interesting...the thought (so far) arising is that the symbol that has given it's meaning (gift) and is now dead might be likened to the emptying of the cup (beliefs)...there is an abyss, a silence, a void, stillness that is experienced...then new wine.
As long as the cup is full, it's the sugar cube in the wrapper, once the mind/cup is emptied (of beliefs, traditions, outer authority, forms of outer ritual), then it is filled again (the new coffee with sugar dissolved) from inner authority and truth that springs from within, rather than outer.
Edited: Khepri, I re-read your post, and see now that you're saying the same when you say, "becomes a quality of the form of consciousness, (coffee), rather than a quality of nature or cosmos, as distinct from consciousness itself.

To understand 'free will' as essentially 'veto power' as discussed by Tor Nortrandders in "User Illusion" is at once putting the creative energy within our fingers, and makes our lives equally meaningful in respect to the choices we make every moment we live.
Khepri quoted, "None of this, in my opinion, negates the importance of coming to terms with our emotions and feelings, but it does shift our perception enough that there is a little air to breath when we are in their grip."
