Exploring The Ancient Egyptian Mysteries
By Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis
Egypt has been a land that has fascinated the world for ages. Yet its origin has been shrouded in mystery. It has been said that even the ancient Egyptians did not know how old their culture was. Perhaps one of the most mysterious aspects of ancient Egypt is the role it has played in the development of the metaphysical traditions of the world.
To begin to unlock this mystery, we have to tap into a part of history that we do not have direct access to through history books. We have to tap into the metaphysical archives to better understand civilization in a time before recorded history, for metaphysics teaches that Egypt, and civilization itself, is far older than currently understood by historians and archaeologists.
Before recorded history, Egypt initiated a magical time for spirituality. It launched a resurgence of the most ancient mystical tradition of all time—the Hermetic sciences. Ancient Egypt became the birthplace of a new mystery school system, a divine template of teaching mysticism that was to become the model for spiritual traditions for ages to come.
The great spiritual leaders of the ancient world came to Egypt to partake of the new, emerging wisdom. They took back this knowledge to their own lands to build new metaphysical schools based on the Hermetic teachings, yet cloaking these teachings in their own cultural temperaments. The tone was set for the mystery school traditions that were to come, traditions that continues even to this very day.
But the mystical traditions teach that this pyramid was, in fact, a great temple of initiation. It was built during this prehistoric time in honor of the Hermetic sciences as a tool to help humanity realize its own divinity and the divine source of all life. The perfection of the great pyramid reflects the enormous success the Egyptians achieved in building a society that mirrored the divine life.
While the ancient Egyptian mysteries themselves have died out long ago, the spiritual tradition they launched is very much a part of us today. The fact that the ancient Egyptians were able to build a society of such high spiritual standards teaches us that such a society is possible and can be done again, on an even grander scale.
It also teaches us that our own spiritual efforts count. As we apply ourselves to the task, we can reach our own spiritual summit and connection to the Divine. It’s the greatest adventure there is.
