About the Author

R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz (1887-1961) was one of the most important philosophers, mathematicians, and Egyptologists of this century. His elucidation of the temple at Luxor and his presentation of the Egyptian understanding of a special quality of innate consciousness form a bridge that links the sacred science of the Ancients to its rediscovery in our own time.

This review is from: The Egyptian Miracle: An Introduction to the Wisdom of the Temple (Paperback)

I came across the author by accident a year ago, since then i have bought all his books (even the monumental Temple of Man and Temples of Karnak). If i were to name 3 books that have had a massive impact on my life, i would say it was the Bhagavad Gita, The bible and The Egyptian Miracle. While these 3 tomes share little in the form of the message, how the message of godhead is distributed - there is an underlying current in them all. The Egyptian Miracle is the book that draws water from this well and hands it to you without asking for anything in return.

As for the content, to be perfectly honest i have no idea how to describe it. It is rare to find a book that blows open so many doors as this one, as well as presenting you with keys you never knew you had. I will not even try to describe it. you will have to read it for yourself to know what i mean. Rest assured that he decodes the mystery of the temples in terms modern man can relate to. No hocus pocus, just a deep insight into the reality the egyptians lived by - and hard facts, numbers and demonstrations.

This review is from: The Egyptian Miracle: An Introduction to the Wisdom of the Temple (Paperback)

From my childhood I've always been fascinated with Egypt. Unfortunately many of the books on Egyptian religion and culture are incredibly dry and boring... You can read them for hours and still find yourself no closer to understanding the spirit of their religion. Schwaller de Lubicz is different. His books are different. He takes you right to the heart of Egyptian esoteric wisdom! Not only is he a scholarly Egyptologist he is also a spiritually mature person who knows the reality of what he is discussing through personal experience.

Understanding this philosopy makes you a good student in any religious school.I even dared to consider sufism from this standpoint and asked questions such as "what's the place of form-and- geste in islamic dinamic meditation techniques?" Extraordinary for understanding egyptian painting and architecture.
