4.0 out of 5 stars Universal Spiritual Awakening Guide With Some Too Radical Approaches, July 9, 2007
This review is from: The Mystical Journey from Jesus to Christ (Paperback)
The message of this book is to find yourself as that what you are: The Self, without any separations. Everything is the Supreme Being. Realize your divinity, and everybody and everything else's! It is the task of the spiritual seeker to go beyond the veil of outer forms of religion, including symbols, doctrines, rituals and traditions. No matter what branch of religion, when you have mastered its myths and rituals, you are taken further, into the mysticism, which is always of the above knowledge. This book includes Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Taoism, Yoga and some other branches, which are all derived from the Ancient Egyptian religion.

Comparisons are not only made via the similarities of myths, e.g. the quasi identical child stories of Heru, Krishna, Jesus, etc., but the universal wisdom behind such metaphorical stories. The official religion leaders may have persecuted those wisdom seekers who appear in the form of Christian Gnostics or Muslim Sufis etc. It has been a power struggle of the respective Orthodox officials versus the Yoga branches.

The book is helping in the elimination of dualism, egoism, anger, greed addiction, nationalism, religious hate, sexism and any other separation. (Though further help via knowledge may be necessary and some separations have been left out.) With that, the cycle of birth and death gets broken, as well as the concept of hell.

All of this is done from many perspectives. Which by itself becomes repetitive. The books repeats in addition to that.

Usually indirectly, the author assumes at several points that the ancient Jews including Moses and Abraham would have been white, leading to some wrong conclusions from that, e.g. the origin of racism supposedly deriving from the Jewish concept of not marrying outside themselves. In reality, most of them became lighter-skinned, BECAUSE of so much procreating with "outsiders". Read for example The Africans Who Wrote the Bible. Moses would be metaphorical. Read Moses and Akhenaten: The Secret History of Egypt at the Time of the Exodus for a much different perspective. Occasionally I found it difficult to differentiate of what the author was writing about: Egypt, Ethiopia/Axum or Sudan/Nubia, for the interchangeable use of vocabulary.

Occasionally the book takes its ways too far, something prone to happen in religion and human minds in general. It is correct in saying that celibacy allows spiritual energy to build up in such abundance, that great works may be written for humanity. But please: No absolutism! There isn't the metaphor of going into the desert for 40 days for nothing: After that, please return! If you don't, several things are bound to happen: Ever more radicalism. In medievil European times, youths were burnt at the stake for wet dreams in some places, in others the VICTIMS of rape as sick. After roughly two centuries the absolutely celibate Christian "Shakers" of the USA are virtually extinct (adoption and proselytizing coulnd't stop that trend). A divided society of two spiritual classes under the Vatican. The celibacy wisdom from eastern Asia is based on lacking ancient knowledge. It was presumed that during orgasm of mostly males, a liquid of lifeforce would be lost to the body. For one thing: The body isn't meant to be eternal. That liquid makes sure, it will get renewed via a new body. For another: If that liquid doesn't leave the body, it will turn "dead" after four days. If it doesn't get expelled automatically during sleep, it will get reabsorbed by the body like a black and blue mark. Eastern knowledge also says orgasm is one of the short experiences of a divine state. Use sexuality in a conscious, different than plain addiction way, maybe with some breaks once in a while. There's no need for further nurturing the meme pool of medievil sex-hostility.

As a RastafarI I was enjoyed to read a spiritual book which largely corresponds to my overstanding of spirituality. In utter irony, in its two pages devoted to "Rastafarianism" [sic!], the author basically avers this branch of religion wouldn't "understand" a thing. Which is the only religion, he is saying that about in its entirety. I couldn't believe the words I was reading. If any other author would have written something absurd like this... but for this one such a sloppy non-overstanding is simply embarassing. I mean, even the minister-author of the blatantly ANTI-gnostic Dread Jesus provides involuntary knowledge about RastafarI to the contrary. Obviously, Muata Abhaya Ashby escaped the 1983 book Rastafari: For the Healing of the Nations. I am amazed he didn't even wonder about the "I-and-I" concept (instead of "we"), to come up with some conclusion of compatibility with his vision. But then again, I-n-I live in anti-Rasta Imes. Accordingly, this sub-chapter insults RastafarI as a belief, "fomenting unrest and divisiveness between peoples" and with Jah as having died. Additionally, the author wastes precious space with supposedly strict food laws, including ones against milk and coffee. ??? Some digestive tracts may not react this well to milk and personally I am not too fond of the taste of coffee, though I'd like to hear another Rasta reprimanding me for drinking an originally Ethiopian beverage, should I ever chose to do so! I have no idea, where the author collected his very superficial and monolithic ideas, so here's a message: In the terms as used by the author, guess what: There are Orthodox and Yoga branches within RastafarI as well.

This book also leaves out, what the author would term Science Yoga. For that read From Science to God: A Physicist's Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness.

Other readers may find it inconvenient to read about the severing of family ties. My advice: Do not fall for ever more radical, literal interpretations, otherwise this basic wisdom will get pushed from the pedestal entirely sooner or later by yourself or a following generation. Also the illusion of the current concept of civilisation and democracy are valid ideas, including that the separation of state and religion has opened the doors to corruption, exploitation and similar unethical behaviour by political and economical leaders. However, that isn't much different with various religious leaders including countries with no such separation. The solution has yet to be worked out instead of a somehow suggested either-or approach.

The publication itself isn't for perfectionists. Included is an ad for a guide to self-publishing. This edition of "1998-2006" sure provides some hints of what to take better care of. The resolution of images is largely a catastrophe. References to the cover pictures are obviously from another edition. The captions within the book are occasionally switched. There are even captions without any images and a caption erasing the main text. Footnotes may have been provided within the text already, a chapter features a non-existing Roman numeral, etc. and the title of the book has been changed. Originally, it was preceded with "Christian Yoga Volume 1:" There's much ado about a 2nd Volume, yet I wasn't able to find any trace of it.

Keep in mind, that the supersize of this book (28 x 21cm) basically doubles the small print content of its 256 regular text pages to that of normal-sized books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kemetic Wisdom through Christianity, September 23, 2000
This review is from: The Mystical Journey from Jesus to Christ (Paperback)
This book is mind blower. It is packed with valid information proving that the Mystical Teachings of the Original Christians were are rooted in Ancient Kemetic Mystical Wisdom Teachings. Showing Yashu'a(jesus) original through bloodline to the Kemetu(egiptians), and how his teachings is none other than Kemetic Mysticism. Dr. Ashby also gives perfect examples of the sciptures from other cultures(Baghavad Gita, Tao Tsi Ching, Shaolin Temple) to show how that all relate, and thier roots from Kemetic Wisdom. The origins of Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, where Muhammed perfected his doctrine of Islam, relativity to the Ausarian Ressurection teachings, Mystical Teachings of Yashu'a from the Nag Hammadi, Greek Intellectual origins, etc, is all included, plus more. And its interesting to find out the Mary Magdelene, Yashu'a(jesus) wife, became enlightened. Every single sentence in this work deserves close attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, November 18, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mystical Journey from Jesus to Christ (Paperback)
This book was excellent. Dr. Ashby is a very knowledgeable individual who was able to show the similarities in the religions of the world and that our purpose as human beings, no matter the religion, is to return to our source. I recommend this book to anyone who is feeling the pressure to attain more out of life and find and be the Truth. This book will change your life.
