There are many books on the Egyptian pyramids, but if you really want to know how the Great Pyramid was used, read this book. Earlyne Chaney's first person account rings true.

This book won't give you many details on how the pyramids were built (read Edgar Cayce for that information), but after reading this book you'll know how the various passages and chambers were used by initiates around the time of 3000 B.C. Even then the Egyptians considered the Great Pyramid to be very ancient.

This book lets you know the source and type of energy used to construct Egypt's monuments as well as the steps each soul needs to take to reach perfection. In 3000 B.C. initiates physically faced the various challenges to the soul. Today we face the same challenges internally. The Egyptian initiations symbolically correlate with our own path to soul growth.

This is a very interesting book if you believe what it says to be true. I do. The information is consistent with what I have read in other books. But besides that it provides a lot of additional information that I hadn't heard before.

Apparently the author's experiences in very ancient Egypt caused her to develop the ability to remember a past life in vivid detail.

The main focus of the story is her experiences of going through the various levels of 'initiation' into the Egyptian mysteries. Also included is information about what sorts of training and preparation she went through and what were some of the subjects she was trained in. This training included things like:

1. philosophy which included mythology and the history of the gods
2. the nature of the human soul and the different levels of consciousness
3. science which included not only physics but metaphysics
4. astronomy and astrology
5. mystical arts including magic and alchemy

Very interesting was the information about the Great Pyramid including secret passageways and chambers underneath the pyramid and the Giza plateau which have not been discovered yet.

She talks about the mystical properties of gold and how a liquified form of gold was consumed during one of the initiation rites to free the soul from the body.

Some of the things that happened during the initiation rites were occuring on other levels of consciousness or in other dimensions besides this physical dimension. In fact the Great Pyramid has a sort of twin that is made of pure light and exists in some other dimension.

In the last chapter of the book, the 'Afterthought', she reveals something that many peoplo will find hard to believe. This revelation shows how mythology and Egyptology don't really contradict Christianity. Rather Christianity and the bible are one part of a process that started many thousands of years ago.

Archeologists and Egyptologists today are severely mistaken and confused about many things. They need to start reading books like this.

Edgar Cayce's Egypt: Psychic Revelations on the Most Fascinating Civilization Ever Known

I would prefer to not have to rate this book because I would rather convey to you the sorts of information contained within. I personally have had several amazing experiences inside of the Great Pyramid and purchased this book looking for "technical" information. By "technical" I mean I was looking for an instruction manual as to how to better accord myself with the Great Pyramid. However, this book contains only a limited amount of this information.

Earlyne Chaney's book is a recounting of her past life memories. I do believe in past lives, however, I know that the information I have received about them is often incomplete, fuzzy, and largely is a transmission of disconnected images and feelings. So how do you fill in the gaps? Well you have to make inferences, and I think that is what Ms. Chaney has done in "Initiation in the Great Pyramid." I say that because, while there is good information contained within, the information is often not cohesive and feels like a hodge podge. The hodge podge is of some information that feels authentically Egyptian, while other pieces of information sound like the author's personal eastern-influenced (perhaps Buddhist or Hindu) beliefs, and still other pieces of information are straight from Masonic practice.

I am well aware of many modern Masons' belief that their practices stem from ancient Egyptian religious practice (see the Hiram Key, for example), however Ms. Chaney is NOT trying to document research that she has done. Rather this is a document of her own personal experience with the Pyramid. This is valuable, but I am not sure that the information is either verifiable or even useful for a modern person looking for their own Khufic initiation. It is clear that Ms. Chaney is (was) a sweetheart of a person, probably bereft of any guile. So the transmission here is sincere, if not always credible.

Lastly, several of Ms. Chaney's descriptions of experiences inside of the Great Pyramid match my own. This lends credibility to the story in my mind, but the remainder of her experience in the magnificent pyramid is not something that I can personally cop to, so I can't say to what degree I can trust the entirety of what she describes in this book. Nonetheless, I will be on the look out for these sorts of experiences when next to Egypt I go.
