Purest gold, if you persevere,
By
This review is from: Ancient Egypt: the Light of the World: A Work of Reclamation and Restitution in Twelve Books. Volume 1 (Paperback)
Volume 1: If your interests include anthropology; the earliest civilisation; sign language and totemism; lunar and solar mythology; uranography, astronomy and astrology; eschatology; the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the demystification of the Old Testament of the Bible, then this is the book for you.This book is like mining: it is hard work to read; but the copious wisdom it yields is purest gold. Volume 2: This volume continues the exoteric exposition of the wisdom of the ancients, unfortunately esoterically. Having surveyed, posted and tested the ore from this wisdom, the author concludes that many are still mining in the wrong place. For humans seeking meaning (as in the meaning of life, the universe and everything) these 2 volumes could be as important as Charles Darwin's book on the Origin of the Species; the answer will depend on the reader's beliefs.

Light of the World,
By A. Muzchik (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ancient Egypt: the Light of the World: A Work of Reclamation and Restitution in Twelve Books. Volume 1 (Paperback)
(Note: this review refers to BOTH volumes of the book).The author of this remarkable book passed away just a few short months after completing it. That he was almost completely unrecognised and ignored during his lifetime and is dismissed by almost all modern 'authorities' will speak volumes to the discerning reader who is sincerely interested in discovering the TRUTH about Ancient Egypt and its Mysteries. It is no exaggeration to say this book is the most masterly exposition of the Ancient Egyptian religion ever written. Indeed, more than one inspired Occultist of the last century has drawn largely on this book for their teachings about the Ancient Egyptian Mysteries. The majority, on the other hand, who prefer dusty `authority' to the bright Fire of True Inspiration, will cast it aside as worthless. Such are those who prefer to squabble over how many asps (and of what specific genus) killed Cleopatra, or whether the race of the Ancient Egyptians were Negroes or Caucasians, than learn the TRUTH about Ancient Egypt and her sublime mysteries. The views of such are perfectly exemplified in the following statement from a well-known contemporary `Egyptologist'. "Massey's analysis of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, for example, shows a complete lack of understanding of the subjects in question, or of Egyptology as a whole." The writer is tempted to add that authorities who are entirely ignorant of the language of symbolism and allegory in which the Egyptian Sages preserved all their sacred knowledge, are not the best guides to unravelling its Mysteries! The first of which is that this knowledge was, is, and always will be, the preserve of the few who can see beyond the letter of the written word to the Spirit within. Such will find this book a revelation that will lead them to an entirely new conception, not only of the Egyptian religion, but of ALL religions, past and present. Such readers will then KNOW who and what Jesus really stood for, the origin and purpose of life on earth and the true nature of man. Massey's parents were poor, illiterate peasants. At just eight years of age, he had to earn his living in a silk factory, and when that burnt down, he took up the equally arduous work of straw plaiting. As he says himself: "I had no childhood. Ever since I can remember, I have had the aching fear of want, throbbing heart and brow. The currents of my life were early poisoned, and few, methinks, would pass unscathed through the scenes and circumstances in which I have lived." Certainly not those well-bred critics of his work (then and now) who never knew the meaning of hunger and grinding poverty, which were his daily lot. Yet, despite all these difficulties, Massey rose nobly above his trials and temptations and triumphed over them all, until, at last, he was able to bring forth this Master Work. As his contemporary, Samuel Smiles wrote: "Massey was a man of vivid genius, full of the true poetic fire, who blessed and glorified his race." May that blessing be yours who reads the inspired words of one who sought to reclaim and restore the glory of Ancient Egypt, which was and remains, the `Light of the World.'
