Search in Secret Egypt

Rating:
Summary: Very passionate, experiential and interesting
Review: A very cool book, especially about his experiences spending a night alone in the great pyramid. Don't expect scholarly, scientific-type writing. This is a personal work, full of thoughts and observations of a culture rapidly being erased by the West. Very interesting, especially the story about the fakir/magician who can suspend his body for days, weeks, even years at a time.

Summary: 'Breath taking'
Review: I found that book absolutely interesting even if I did not give much credit to the spiritual experiences of the author. Although I think Paul Brunton has invented some of the content, I admire his talent of writer. He has a great imagination and his book gave me many hours of pure pleasure. The way he describes atmospheres is worth buying the book.

Summary: A stopover in Egypt
Review: In this book the author Dr. Paul Brunton, explains the 'trance' like state attained by various people in Egypt, while making references to India. He provides a glimpse of the mystic rites that used to take place in Ancient Egypt for people who had the desire and strength to become initiates in those times.

Those of you who have read Rudolph Steiner's book 'The Gospel of St. John' in the chapter 'The Raising of Lazarus' will be able to link the explanation provided there with the explanation of Jesus's message that these rites are no longer required to become one with God.

An excellent book........my quest continues.
