Temple of the Cosmos | Free Book
The Ancient Egyptian Experience of the Sacred
In this guide to the cosmology of ancient Egypt, Jeremy Naydler
recreates the experience of living in another time and place. Temple
of the Cosmos explores Egypt's sacred geography and mythology; but
more importantly, it reveals with unprecedented clarity an ancient
consciousness in tune with the rhythms of the earth. The ancient
Egyptians experienced their gods not as remote beings but rather as
psychic and natural forces, transpersonal energies that played a part
in everyday life. This direct experience of the gods shaped the
Egyptian concepts of human development, healing, magic, and the soul's
journey through the Underworld as described in the Books of the Dead.
While building on the pioneering efforts of R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz
and others, Temple of the Cosmos is much more than a recapitulation of
previous theories of Egyptian spirituality. Rather, this book breaks
new ground by placing the work of other Egyptologists in an original,
magical context. The result is a brilliant reimagining of the Egyptian
worldview and its sacred path of spiritual unfolding.
In The Press
“. . . not only evokes the atmosphere of the myths, but re-creates that all too rare relationship with them that enables us to understand what it means to be part of ongoing cosmic processes as sacred realities.”
