Elisabeth Haich INITIATION ebook

[Victoria Tintagel]

Hey Avaloneans, here's a great ebook, written in the mid 20th century, about the Egyptian culture, spiritual teaching and initiations. In the pyramids. Haich is very knowledgable, this book made a huge impression on me, as it was my first book on a spiritual subject and I remember reading it at the same time period as Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance. When interested, I do hope you will enjoy this book. Be in grace, Victoria Tintagel.

INITIATION AUTHOR'S NOTE It is far from my intentions to want to provide a historical picture of Egypt. A person who is living in any given place has not the faintest idea of the peculiarities of his country, and he does not consider customs, language and religion from an ethnographic point of view. He takes everything as a matter of course. He is a human being and has his joys and sorrows, just like every other human being, anywhere, any place, any time; for that which is truly human is timeless and changeless.

My concern here is only with the human, not with ethnography and history. That is why I have, in relating the story which follows here, intentionally used modern terms. I have avoided using Egyptian sounding words to create the illusion of an Egyptian atmosphere. The teachings of the High Priest Ptahhotep are given inm o d er n language so thatm o d er n people may understand them. For religious symbols also, I have chosen to use modern terms so that all may understand what these symbols mean.

People of today understand us better if we say 'God' than if we were to use the Egyptian term 'Ptah' for the same concept. If we say 'Pt a h' everyone immediately thinks, 'Oh yes, Pt a h , the Egyptian God'. No! Pt a h was not an Egyptian God. On the contrary, the Egyptians called the same God whom we call God , by the name of Pt a h.
And to take another example, their term for Satan was Seth. The words God and Satan carry meanings for us today which we would not get from the words Pt a h or S et h .

For people living in our times, these latter terms, Pt a h and S et h , are empty, dry and meaningless. The term Logos and the expression creative principle have a meaning for us today which we would not get from the term 'Horus Hawk'. Electricity was just as much electricity thousands of years ago as it is today, and an atom was an atom, simply by a different name. I make these comments here so that my readers may be able to devote their attention to the content of the story which follows here, without being halted unnecessarily by what may appear to be an anachronism merely because of the terms used—as for example when the Egyptian High Priest speaks of a 'chain reaction'!
I have intentionally avoided trying to reproduce or imitate the ancient terminology for phenomena we now know under names everyone is accustomed to using.

I read this back in 76 and again this past year when I found it on line..
I highly recommend it.

[unplugged]

Yes, this is a FANTASTIC work!

Deep. Rich. Multi-dimensionally multifaceted. Profound.

Like you, I have read it more than once. It is a layered work that unfolds hidden meanings as one unfolds new perspectives and gains greater awareness. Didn't know it was in ebook format. Thanks very much for posting.

Thanks for bringing this book to our attention. I found a copy in a second-hand store and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. What an amazing woman! Her last life was just as fascinating as that of her Egyptian reincarnation.

I too read this back in the 80's when it was recommended to me by Rayelan Allen when she visited my hometown. Fascinating book and fascinating woman!

It's a good book, thanks. I enjoyed reading it in paper form many years back..

It was always much easier for me to read real books than reading from e-devices , the extent and availability of material is so tempting though . But many days I can't do what I want simply because my eyes get overlighted .
If there's new update to be from Apple technologies ( or anyone else ) I'd push them to invent something that minimizes or even pleases the eyes .

It's a transformative book

The Wisdom of the Tarot is another of her popular books. At 84 Mb (scanned) it is too large to add as an attachment, but you may download it here as a PDF file.
