"Examines ancient Sumerian, Egyptian, Babylonian, and Hebrew myths, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Osiris and Isis. The authors show that many classic myths contain instructions for awakening higher consciousness, allowing access to enlivened experience of the world and awareness of the divine within and around us. Inspired by the work of R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, the authors deeply examine creation myths and well-known ancient myths from Mesopotamia and Egypt, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Osiris and Isis. They reveal that these myths are not behavioral morality tales but actual delineations of how a higher order can arise within each of us. How these stories teach us to distinguish the heaven within from the earth within us, to find the essential part of our being that provides a link with our higher powers. Lloyd M. Dickie is a retired ecologist and former professor of oceanography and biology at Dalhousie University. He has studied ancient Egypt for more than 30 years, including many active site explorations. Paul R. Boudreau is an ecologist and biologist. Both authors live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia."--Provided by publisher.
