The Mystery Wisdom of Egypt

Rudolf Steiner

Summary

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was an Austrian philosopher, esotericist, and clairvoyant. He is considered one of the greatest and most influential spiritual masters of the twentieth century.
The Mystery Wisdom of Egypt, the Rudolf Steiner’s study which we propose to our readers today, is taken from Christianity as Mystical Fact, a Steiner’s primitive and fundamental work, first published in German in 1902 under the title Das Christentum Als Mystische Tatsache und die Mysterien des Altertums; an essay that, in Steiner's intentions, intends to demonstrate how Christianity was born from what had been prepared in the pre-Christian Mysteries. This is a theory that is certainly questionable and refuted by many philosophers and intellectuals, including Arturo Reghini and Friedrich Nietzsche. However, Christianity as Mystical Fact constitutes the foundation of Rudolf Steiner's thought and of the theories that he will later develop more completely on the nature of Christ and Christianity.
Christianity, in reality, was not simply a further and natural development of the wisdom and theological doctrines of the ancient mystery cults, but a completely new phenomenon, absolutely foreign to Western Tradition. A doctrine artfully crafted with the aim of social control and domination of consciences, destined to destroy the freedom and religious plurality that had characterized the civilizations of the Mediterranean and the Roman Empire for centuries.
According to Steiner, an utterance by Empedocles («When leaving thy body behind thee, thou soarest into the ether, then thou becomest a God, immortal, not subject to death») summarizes what the ancient Egyptians thought about the eternal element in man and his connection with the divine. Proof of this is found in the so-called Book of the Dead, which was deciphered by the diligence of nineteenth-century investigators. «It is the greatest continuous literary work which has come down to us from ancient Egypt. All kinds of instructions and prayers are contained in it, which were put into the tomb of each deceased person to serve as a guide when he was released from his mortal tenement. The most intimate ideas of the Egyptians about the Eternal and the origin of the world are contained in this work. These ideas point to a conception of the Gods similar to that of Greek mysticism».

Technology and the Psychic: When...

Martin K. Ettington

I’m both an Engineer and mostly enlightened clairvoyant so I feel comfortable in both the technology and spiritual worlds.  
My career was mainly working as a software developer, software development manager, and IT project manager for large Aerospace corporations. I’ve also followed the history of AI tools and use them myself today. 
Over the years I’ve written a number of books on the Paranormal and Spiritual topics many of which were based on my personal experiences such as my premonitions and prophecies. 
These experiences have led me to believing that our entire world is conscious and we can tune into those consciousness frequencies through meditation and related practices. 
A lot of people are worried about AI tools becoming conscious and taking over the world. This is often called us reaching the “Singularity”. 
I decided to write this book to show how consciousness and technology are already working together and how they may work together even closer in the future. 
Also, my perspective on whether Artificial Intelligence can ever become truly conscious. 
So let us begin our fun exploration of exciting future possibilities.

The Courage to Be Imperfect -...

Elizabeth Danks Robbins

It's time to stop trying to perfect your life and start enjoying it 
 
· reframe your overachiever mindset 
· release yourself from overwhelming expectations 
· build confidence and courage to embrace an imperfect life 
 
 
Imagine a life where you're not afraid to make a mistake. A life where you don't link your worth to what you've achieved, you don't feel like you're drowning, and you never hear that voice in your head telling you you're not good enough. 
 
No one gets more advice thrust upon them than women. Overwhelmed with information, opinions, and expectations, we are weighed down with guilt, exhaustion, and the belief that we aren't good enough . . . yet.  So we keep trying to fix stuff--our bodies, our parenting, our homes. But fixing things isn't the answer. What we need is a paradigm shift, one where we stop trying to get our act together and start living boldly imperfect lives. 
 
Sharing her own story of faltering under the crushing expectations of the world when she found herself pregnant at age sixteen, Elizabeth Danks Robbins turns the very idea of "perfect" on its head. Instead, she shows you how to stop fearing the opinions and criticism of others in favor of creating a life you actually enjoy. You'll learn to 
 
· reframe your mindset 
· embrace who you are now 
· trade perfection for peace 
 
Release yourself from the pressure to prove yourself to the world. Because, as it turns out, you're not a perfect woman. You're a real one.
