the Light of Egypt: Science Soul and Stars Volumes One Two, Complete

In this thorough series of lessons, Thomas H. Burgoyne explains the spiritual realms and mysterious forces which exert influence upon humans and their souls. This edition contains both volumes.The inquiries made by Burgoyne are varied and eclectic; they range from ancient deities of Egypt such as Isis, to the behavior of the celestial bodies, to the emergence of alchemy in Medieval Europe. The spiritual nature of life and the soul is examined; how the human soul gains attributes of personality and morality, and how our perceptions can recognize and understand manifestations of the spiritual realms beyond our own. Astronomical phenomena are highlighted for their pertinence, with Zodiac signs receiving particular emphasis.The author was aware of a psychic presence in his own mind from a young age; he claimed that during childhood he made contact with the Brotherhood of Light, an organization consisting of advanced spiritual entities. Their otherworldly origins, and the knowledge they imparted, led Burgoyne to immigrate to the United States. He founded the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, and his publications on subjects of the occult and the spiritual blossomed to achieve substantial recognition. He died in 1894, aged only thirty-nine.
