Egyptian Book of the Dead

 “Self knowledge is the basis of True knowledge.”

“The problem of human existence is the forgetfulness of the Divine Essence of the Self and the identification with the body as the Self.”

“The practice of spirituality involved discovering that which transcends the body, as well as learning how to become attached to that transcendent reality as the Truth, rather than remaining attached to the physical body and its desires and impulses, as well as to one’s emotions throughout the ups and downs of human existence.”

“Salvation is the freeing of the soul from its bodily fetters, becoming a God through knowledge and wisdom, controlling the forces of the cosmos instead of being a slave to them, subduing the lower nature and through awakening the Higher Self, ending the cycle of rebirth and dwelling with the netters who direct and control the Great Plan.”
