EGYPT: Mysticism Magick Dictionary on EGYPT

EGYPT

It is in Egypt that we encounter the roots of the entire Western tradition, including the Hermetic arts. If you would unravel the mystery of alchemy and qabalah, dedicate yourself to Egyptian studies. In Egypt we also find the roots of Greek philosophy and science. The Egyptians held that life was a miracle and they rightly worshiped creation as a product of magic. They drew no lines of difference (other than focus) in the degree or quality of consciousness between man, animal and god. Similarly, every member of Kamite society, from peasant to king, though not interchangeable, was of importance. Nor did they make the slightest division between religion, science, art and magic. The Gods were entities to be understood, so that their powers could be used to alter or maintain the natural course of things. (The Gods are actually forces of nature). An initiate, or magician, was simply a man of superior intelligence and will who had lined up his goals to parallel and augment those of the Gods. 20th Century America has been compared to Egypt in its predilection for building huge things and its materialistic philosophy. But America's psychotic compulsion to change everything as rapidly as possible, its lust for technological gimmicks and its attempt to control, counter and even destroy Nature, would have seemed blasphemous and meaningless to the Egyptians.
