Symbolism is the intuitive means of overcoming the limitations of reason. Here Schwaller explains how true progress in human thought can be made only if we call upon the "symbolizing" faculty of intelligence, developed and refined in the temple culture of ancient Egypt and reflected in its hieroglyphs.

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.

Deeply Thought Provoking,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Symbol and the Symbolic: Ancient Egypt, Science, and the Evolution of Consciousness (Paperback)
Mr. Lubicz has done everyone a great service by giving us this slim book. Now, I am not an expert on symbolic thought or symbols but this book has shown me a new way of looking at Egyptian Symbols, like just simply looking at the symbols themselves and what they might mean and what they bring to mind.
I have never seen so much information packed into such a small space (the book is only 94 pages long) but, it delivers so much for you to think about. The chapters "Symbolic Modes","The Principle of the Present Moment","The Discontinuous Object in the Continuous Present" and "The Symbol as Expression of a Will" or excellent and real eye openers. You may have to read them a few times but it is well worth the time and effort. It not only gives you a better understanding of Egyptian symbols but symbols in general, no matter what they are. I recommend this work to everyone no matter what your field of study may be.

Anyone searching for esoteric knowledge re our past as it pertains to our present and our future, should definitely read this book.
Schwaller de Lubicz spent many years on-site researching this information and it shows in all of his books.
