It's an insightful journey into a powerful, often misunderstood, spiritual tradition.
Praise for this book
“Normandi Ellis' work of a lifetime began when she wrote Awakening Osiris, her ecstatic translation of the hieroglyphs found in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. It culminates nearly 30 years hence in her newest book Imagining the World into Existence. In 1988, she said: 'We make of ourselves what we imagine.' Now, in 2012, we see she has imagined well.”

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Ellis provides a fascinating decryption of Egyptian texts, framing them as manuals for conscious creation rather than mere religious artifacts. The strength lies in her clear articulation of how ancient Egyptians viewed consciousness as an active, manifesting force. However, this book is not suited for skeptics or those seeking strictly academic, archaeological historical analysis devoid of metaphysical interpretation. Readers expecting dry, factual historiography may find the esoteric focus presumptuous. It is best appreciated by those already open to the premise that ancient wisdom holds keys to modern spiritual practice and reality shaping through intention.

🎯 Key themes and symbolism
Conscious Co-Creation
This book delves into the Egyptian understanding that human consciousness is not merely passive observation but an active participant in reality's formation. It explains how ancient priests and mystics, through specific linguistic and mental practices, collaborated with the Neteru (divine principles) to weave the fabric of existence, effectively casting a 'spell of consciousness' over the material world.
Shamanic Exploration
Ellis uncovers the sophisticated shamanic practices employed by Egyptian priests. These journeys were not just symbolic but actual spiritual expeditions into the unconscious realms and the afterlife. The text reveals how these profound experiences informed their understanding of existence, death, and rebirth, providing a roadmap for inner discovery and spiritual transformation.
Hieroglyphic Thinking
Beyond mere symbols, hieroglyphs represent a potent system of 'hieroglyphic thinking' where thoughts themselves create reality. The author meticulously explores the multi-layered meanings behind sacred words and symbols, demonstrating how the very structure of ancient Egyptian language embodied magical power, allowing practitioners to influence and mold their environment through precise intention.

- Consider the words you use daily. How might cultivating a 'hieroglyphic thinking' approach, where words carry deep creative power, shift your perception and influence your reality?
