Book Synopsis A Search in Secret Egypt by : Paul Brunton
Download or read book A Search in Secret Egypt written by Paul Brunton and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, philosopher Paul Brunton (1898-1981) encounters the mysteries and magic of Egypt in the 1930s, including an eerie yet illuminating night spent alone inside the Great Pyramid. Alongside his explorations of ancient Egypt's monuments and gods, Brunton encounters a variety of occultists, fakirs, and dervishes, and even manages to become initiated into the deadly art of snake charming. His frank interviews with Muslim leaders remain relevant today, and his description of the Hajj reflects the beauty and inspiring faith of Mohammad's true followers. Brunton's journey to discover the furthest reaches of what the mind and body are capable of--and to distinguish various forms of yoga and magic from true spirituality--lead him to the myth of Osiris and to the mystery that is the Sphinx itself. In the end, Brunton turns his attention to his own spiritual path, connecting all of his experiences into a single discovery: that we are more than the body and that the freedom of our spirit can be experienced here and now. This new edition has been updated to incorporate Brunton's final revisions and includes an introduction by the Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation. "Paul Brunton was a great original and got to a place of personal evolution that illumines the pathways of a future humanity." --Jean Houston, author of A Passion for the Possible and A Mythic Life "Any serious man or woman in search of spiritual ideas will find a surprising challenge and an authentic source of inspiration and intellectual nourishment in the writings of Paul Brunton."--Jacob Needleman, author of What is God?

Book excerpt: The scenes of this story are laid in Egypt -- Abu-Tabah, the inscrutable Egyptian, who appears and disappears so mysteriously, is not so blood-curdling a villain as Fu Manchu, but his exploits possess the same breathless interest that characterized the activities of the yellow doctor. In the latter half of the book, notably in the story, "The Valley of the Sorceress," there is an element new in Rohmer's work -- that of the supernatural ...

Download or read book A Search in Secret India written by Paul Brunton and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Search in Secret India is the story of Paul Brunton's journey around India, living among yogis, mystics and gurus, some of whom he found convincing, others not. He finally finds the peace and tranquility which come with self-knowledge when he meets and studies with the great sage Sri Ramana Maharishi. Paul Brunton was a British philosopher, mystic, traveler, and guru. He left a journalistic career to live among yogis, mystics, and holy men, and studied Eastern and Western esoteric teachings. Dedicating his life to an inward and spiritual quest, Brunton felt charged to communicate his experiences about what he learned in the East to others. His works had a major influence on the spread of Eastern mysticism to the West. Taking pains to express his thoughts in layperson's terms, Brunton was able to present what he learned from the Orient and from ancient tradition as a living wisdom. His writings express his view that meditation and the inward quest are not exclusively for monks and hermits, but will also support those living normal, active lives in the Western world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Egypt as the fount of all wisdom and stronghold of hermetic lore, already strong in antiquity, Hornung (Egyptology, U. of Basel) calls Egyptosophy. Though it was soundly rebuffed by Egyptology, based on conventional science and history, he thinks its continuing impact on western culture deserves scholarly attention. He reviews the various occult traditions and their expression during various eras. The original Esoterische Agypten was published by C. H. Beck'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, Munich, in 1999, and translated by David Lorton, who has also translated Hornung's earlier books for Cornell. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Book Synopsis Egyptian Magic by : Maarten J. Raven
Download or read book Egyptian Magic written by Maarten J. Raven and published by Amer Univ in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ancient Egyptians were firmly convinced of the importance of magic, which was both a source of supernatural wisdom and a means of affecting one's own fate. The gods themselves used it for creating the world, granting mankind magical powers as an aidto the struggle for existence. Magic formed a link between human beings, gods, and the dead. Magicians were the indispensable guardians of the god-given cosmic order, learned scholars who were always searching for the Magic Book of Thoth, which could explain the wonders of nature. Egyptian Magic, illustrated with wonderful and mysterious objects from European museum collections, describes how Egyptian sorcerers used their craft to protect the weakest members of society, to support the gods in their fightagainst evil, and to imbue the dead with immortality, and explores the arcane systems and traditions of the occult that governed this well-organized universe of ancient Egypt."--Publisher's website.

Book Synopsis Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt by : Chris Naunton
Download or read book Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt written by Chris Naunton and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting archeological exploration of ancient Egypt that examines the potential for discovering the remaining “lost” tombs of the pharaohs. Tombs, mummies, and funerary items make up a significant portion of the archeological remains that survive ancient Egypt and have come to define the popular perception of Egyptology. Despite the many sensational discoveries in the last century, such as the tomb of Tutankhamun, the tombs of some of the most famous individuals in the ancient world—Imhotep, Nefertiti, Alexander the Great, and Cleopatra—have not yet been found. Archeologist Chris Naunton examines the famous pharaohs, their achievements, the bling they might have been buried with, the circumstances in which they were buried, and why those circumstances may have prevented archeologists from finding these tombs. In Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt, Naunton sheds light on the lives of these ancient Egyptians and makes an exciting case for the potential discovery of these lost tombs.

Download or read book Secrets in the Stars of Ancient Egypt written by Karen Lea Pressler and published by Bunker Pressler Books. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once in a while a book comes along that changes the way we see history. It provides a new perspective and challenges former beliefs. It breaks the mold of preconceived ideas and opens new vistas - even to generations yet unborn. This is such a book! Nowhere can be found the understanding herein imparted. You will find your mind amazed as astonishing details present themselves. At last something you can rely on and be sure of! These are the secrets in the stars of Ancient Egypt - the hidden truth of the mythology and the astronomy, and the correct understanding of the mystical and mysterious secrets hidden in the stars of ancient Egypt. The content is the result of decades of original research and translation, combined with an in-depth study of historical astronomy, to reveal important aspects of ancient thought and history that have been an enigma for millennia. The simple truth is no one has ever identified the star constellations in the tomb of Seti I. Likewise, a meaningful commentary on the square zodiac images on the ceiling of the temple of Hathor at Denderah has not been available until now. In addition, the truth behind the misunderstood legend of the death of Osiris is revealed. Finally, there is a comprehensive translation of the inscribed text of the Inventory Stela found at Giza in 1858 by Mariette. These discoveries and more are revealed in The Secrets in the Stars of Ancient Egypt . Those secrets, and the historical breakthroughs gained through their understanding, are profound and important. Here is a collection of information that focuses on correcting misconceptions about Ancient Egypt, and it sets the record straight with proof and explanation. It is really an eye opener, and probably will upset the proverbial apple cart!
