Book Reviews of Esoterism and Symbol
Book Review: Good Information for the Spiritual Student
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a short book but has good information for those studying spirituality. The basic premise of this book is that the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt should not be look at as word-forming symbols like the letters of an alphabet, but that each one is a spiritual symbol to symbolize some spiritual truth. The main focus of this book is the difference between the two types of intellegence: the cerebral and the spiritual that he calls "intelligence-of-the-heart" which is a translation of the Egyptian symbols for this type of intellegence.
The book explores the process of awakening our spiritual consciousness to give us wisdom rather than simple material knowledge.
A fascinating chapter is the one that states that "everything that lives, moves" in which he explains that life is not what conventional science defines it to be and that many things we consider non-living really are alive. He concludes the book by telling us that esoterism is not a deliberate hiding of the truth by spiritual writers, but simply a lack on the readers part to understand spiritual things because he is trying to understand with intellect rather than with spiritual consciousness.
