Imagining the World into Existence: An Ancient Egyptian Manual of Consciousness Kindle Edition

Normandi Ellis wrote one of my very favorite books with ancient Kmt (i.e. Egypt) as its subject. Here I am talking about Awakening Osiris. That book translates the ancient Kmt "Book of Going Forth By Day" into a convincingly inspired and inspiring poem. For that reason I was very excited to see that Ms. Ellis was going to apply her talent for harmonizing with the qualities of these ancient beautiful people into a description of their spiritual and magical practices. I was not disappointed in the outcome.Imagining the World Into Existence is a relaxed tour through ancient Kmt's core beliefs. Among the touch points are an examination of the power of hieroglyphic writing to convey the true multi-dimensional power of language; a discussion of creation myths and exactly what spiritual instruction is conveyed via them; an overview of the role of various players in the ancient Kmt spiritual tradition, from women and men, priests and magicians, kings and lay people, and so forth; a translation of the Book of Going Forth by Day and its relevant-even-to-modern-people spiritual secrets; and much, much more.Importantly, Ms. Ellis inserts her first person experiences with these traditions into the book. Consequently, you have both an enthusiastic and experienced guide. Furthermore, the author's choices are all curated perfectly. For example, any deep dive into ancient Kmt and into the Cairo Museum will lead you to the obscure sanctuaries of Djehuty-Ankh-Imn (i.e. King Tut). These fascinating objects clearly convey a knowledge of spirituality via jaw dropping images. Another example is her brief description of the power of R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz's work, without doing the deep nerd dive that many fans of his do. Amen!Highly recommended for beginning enthusiasts and swallowed-whole-by-the-duat adventurers.

I am reading this book now. For those that are interested in the old Egyptian religion this is a must read. It cover their creation stories and relates the bible updates creation passages. Good work done very educational. Its a easy enough read also.Should definitely be part of study into the old AE Kemet religion.

I rated this book with 3-stars because most of the material I had read before. When I decide to read a book I am searching for mind-blowing information and to experience "aha moments." I mean flashing-light-bulb in the head insight. Seeing stars insight. This book did not resonate with me on that level. With that being said, this is an interesting book to read. It is a quick read and moves along at a good pace. I managed to read this book within a couple of days. Therefore, I would recommend other readers make this purchase; it is worth reading.

This book is a true masterpiece of Normandi Ellis after the Awakening Osiris. A thirty-year experience crystallized, it captures the heart of Egyptian Mystery Tradition beautifully. Meditation upon the text is probably life changing. Detailed and well-explained, the book talks about the concepts behind the ancient texts which, once understood, could change the way we look at the world, the Deity, and ourselves, making us more whole. Though it requires reading several times to comprehend the contents therein, I highly recommend it to anyone who interested in Ancient Egyptian Spirituality.Endymion MoonChilde

An interesting re-interpretation of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, not as a guide to the after life but a guide to living life. The author offers the reader a middle passage through the present day tension between opposites by way of a universal embodiment, drawing the past and future into the present.

This is a profound book by a profound, and eloquent, writer. John Anthony West probably said it best: "This remarkable book emulates Egypt itself; it fuses philosophy, religion, art, and science inextricable Unity... It resonates Egypt." Not a book to skim over lightly, though; more than most books I've read in recent years, I found it helpful taking each passage slowly, and even re-reading them in order to fully digest them. If you're already interested in ancient Egypt, this book will be especially interesting to you, but even if you not, you'll still be rewarded by reading it, since it's bursting at the seams with spiritual wisdom and insights. Highly recommended.

Great book

This book contains new perspectives on Ancient Egyptian myths and religion that is fascinating. The author has spent quite some time exploring Ancient Egyptian words and religion and her take on it is worthwhile reading.This is from the same author that did a poetic and beautiful translation of "The Book of coming forth by day" (better known as The Book of The Dead) titled "Awakening Osiris".

Normandi Ellis writes well on a fascinating subject ... her 'Awakening Osiris' (a version of the Egyptian Book of Dead) is a must buy and this is a worthwhile companion

Deep stuff

The author obviously spent a long time with the topic and collected details and information about the outer form of its science-religion. But without the keys to the mystery she circles the house without ever getting inside. If you are looking for clear information or the teachings of the old egyptian mystery schools you have to look elsewhere.

Is amazing book and a teacher

Excellent read!
