The Egyptian Book of the Dead : The Book of Coming Forth
by DaybyMuata Ashby
This book is a new original translation of the Ancient
Egyptian Book of the Deadbased on surviving papyri from Ancient Egypt " I
Know myself, I know myself, I am One With God!-From the Pert Em Heru "The
Ru Pert em Heru" or "Ancient Egyptian Book of The Dead," or
"Book of Coming Forth By Day" as it is more popularly known, has
fascinated the world since the successful translation of Ancient Egyptian
hieroglyphic scripture over 150 years ago. The astonishing writings in it
reveal that the Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death and in an
ultimate destiny to discover the Divine. The elegance and aesthetic beauty of
the hieroglyphic text itself has inspired many see it as an art form in and of
itself. But is there more to it than that? Did the Ancient Egyptian wisdom
contain more than just aphorisms and hopes of eternal life beyond death? In
this volume Dr. Muata Ashby, the author of over 25 books on Ancient Egyptian
Yoga Philosophy has produced a new translation of the original texts which
uncovers a mystical teaching underlying the sayings and rituals instituted by
the Ancient Egyptian Sages and Saints. "Once the philosophy of Ancient
Egypt is understood as a mystical tradition instead of as a religion or
primitive mythology, it reveals its secrets which if practiced today will lead
anyone to discover the glory of spiritual self-discovery. The Pert em Heru is
in every way comparable to the Indian Upanishads or the Tibetan Book of the
Dead."
