The Light of Ancient Egypt (60 min)




Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity show

Summary: <p>Just as we want to understand the nature of reality and we search for meaning and peace and health and joy in our lives, so the men and women of ancient times sought answers to these very same questions and methods of reaching these states of mind. The great Egyptian god Thoth (known as Hermes by the Greeks who preserved these texts) revealed the secret methods of the Ancient Egyptians in a series of scrolls in the early centuries of the first millennium in the Great library of Alexandria. Echoing the insights of Zarathustra, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Krishna and many other ancient masters, this extraordinary Egyptian text remains one of the great works of mystical literature, on a par with the Gospels, the Diamond Sutra, the Bhagavad Gita and the Tao Te Ching. In this 60 minute meditation, some of the insights from the Egypt of old are applied to help you find peace and meaning in your own life.</p><br><p>Background reading:</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Way-Hermes-Translations-Definitions-Trismegistus/dp/0892811862" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Way of Hermes</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hermetica-Lost-Wisdom-Pharaohs/dp/158542692X" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hermetica: The Lost Wisdom of the Pharaohs</a></p><br><hr><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> See <a style="color: grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
