Book Description

Publication Date: October 18, 2000

Health is the daughter of exercise/Ancient Egyptian Proverb. We have so many words for states of mind, and so few for states of the body/ Jeane Moreau. There is more to life than increasing its speed/ Mohandas Gandi. Language, which does not acknowledge the body, cannot acknowledge life/ John Lahr. What is life? It is a flash of a firefly in the night/American Indian Proverb. All sorts of bodily diseases are produced by half-used minds/ George Bernard Shaw. There's lots of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't the time to enjoy it/John Henry Cardinal Newman. The great use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts it/ William James. If you stop struggling, than you stop life/ Huey Newton. Volumes are now being written and spoken about the effect of the mind on the body-I wish more was thought on the effect of the body on the mind/Florence Nightingale. As the tempest and the thunder affect not the sun or the stars, but spend their fury on stones and trees below; so injuries ascend not to the Soul of the great, but waste themselves on such as those who offer them/Ancient Egyptian Proverb.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

If you love knowledge, then you're going to like this book. I wrote it to be as easy to read as possible. But I caution you, it's not just a book about sex. Sexual Secrets of Cleopatra, the Wisdom of the Ancient Egyptians, is a book about spirituality. If you want to know more about another person, first get to know yourself, and the creator.

Sincerely,

Theodore S. Ransaw

1.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what you think it is, April 26, 2005

Susan Jimenez "Susan" (Redwood City, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sexual Secrets of Cleopatra: The Wisdom of the Ancient Egyptians (Paperback)

This book is not worth the purchase. The author writes a simplified, seventh-grade-level, hardly interesting view of the Egyptians with a few tips on aromatherapy, sexual massage, and sexual positions.There is very little to do with Cleopatra in this one, let alone her sexual secrets. The sexual secrets he discusses aren't very secret, rather, they are basic.
He makes sure to point out how men are under stress from the 'many roles' they have to play in our society without giving any time to the similar situation in which women find themselves.
I found his explanations over-simplified, the title misleading, and the typos and lack of editing very disappointing (he mentions KARMA sutra) - spelled just like that, and confuses the spelling and useage for words such as: there/their, too/to. Throughout the book, semen is spelled: s-e-a-m-a-n.
Don't waste your time with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and Sexual, April 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sexual Secrets of Cleopatra: The Wisdom of the Ancient Egyptians (Paperback)

This book started off slow, but it picked up right away. It has lots of information about other stuff too. Like the best place to massage your mate, and what type of fragrences you like and why. Overall a pretty good book.
