The Opening of the Way

A Practical Guide to the Wisdom Teachings of Ancient Egypt.

The guide to the spiritual practices of ancient Egypt is based on the teachings that were at the foundation of the Egyptian temple and consequently of the esoteric traditions of the West.

These practices are designed to lead us to a higher intelligence, known to the ancient Egyptians as the "intelligence of the heart." The Opening of the Way is grounded in the authors extensive research and collaboration with her husband, the noted Egyptologist and Hermetic philosopher R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz. 

In her two Her-Bak novels, the author presented a fictional account of the ancient Egyptian esoteric teachings, in The Opening of the Way she provides specific tools that instruct the reader in the comprehension and application of those teachings.
In our present era, research into human nature has taken a biological, chemi-cal, and mechanical direction that offers few helpful answers to questions about how life ought to be lived. The nervous imbalance caused by this analytical mentality cannot tolerate silence or stillness essential elements of intuition and spiritual experience.

The author helps us recognize that it is by the path of silence and meditation that we understand our relationship to the universe. She introduces us to states of subtle energy that enable us to rise above the "animal man" and offers an overview of the human body that shows how the organs and bloodstream are connected to sources of vital energy. If we apply this knowledge correctly, we can gain awareness of the harmony that governs the human organism and how it is related to corresponding functions in the universe.

Above all, The Opening of the Way guides us to the intelligence of the heart, which is our key to self-mastery and our connection to higher consciousness.
