This book explains how Ancient Egypt is the origin of
alchemy and present-day Sufism, and how the mystics of Egypt camouflage their
practices with a thin layer of Islam. The book also explains the progression of
the mystical Way towards enlightenment, with a coherent explanation of its
fundamentals and practices. It shows the correspondence between the Ancient
Egyptian calendar of events and the cosmic cycles of the universe. It also
provides the evidence that Ancient Egypt is the source of the Christian calendar
of holidays (ex: Easter, Last Supper, Christmas, Lent, Ascension Day, Pentecost,
Epiphany, Transfiguration, etc).
Pure Gold (Purifying the Heart and Tongue) [page 39]
. . . The aspirant, in the Egyptian model, learns to
purify his inner-self by taming vices and practicing the opposites of such vices
in society. Knowledge is gained by both the mind and that acquired by
experience. The inner purification
must be completed by practicing good social behavior in the ordinary daily life.
Every action impresses itself upon the heart. The inward being of a person is
really the reflection of his deeds and actions. Doing good deeds thus
establishes good inner qualities; the virtues impressed upon the heart in turn
govern the actions of the limbs. As each act, thought, and deed makes an image
on the heart, it becomes an attribute of the person. This maturation of the soul
through acquired attributes leads to progressive mystical visions and the
ultimate unification with the Divine.
Reciprocally, the knowledge obtained by both intellect and intuition [discussed in chapter 6] is the source of virtue that must be practiced in ordinary life. The struggle for virtue and the vision of the Divine, are all aspects of a single progressive achievement in the course of which the aspirant becomes more wise, until he achieves the totality of being that entails mystical vision and ordinary piety simultaneously.
