Back in 2007 right after my first trip to Egypt, I had the
opportunity to submit an article that was eventually published
in the Rosicrucian Digest issue on Egypt.

Prophetically I penned:  
This journey of evolution is the course that every soul must
navigate. Hatshepsut, the fifth king of the Eighteenth
Dynasty, was the first to publicly record the scarab on her
tomb walls in its transformational role in the Egyptian book
of the afterlife which is called the Am Dwat.  I encountered
this powerful text in the tomb of her successor, Thutmosis
III, and it was through this ancient story that the course for
my evolution was charted.

After this exciting success, I decided to share the
transformational power of the ancient text through an
experiential journey.  I found that in order to make it truly
meaningful I also needed to provide a brief orientation to the
ancient Egyptian culture and spirituality.  Again the
Rosicrucian's were happy to make these podcasts available
through their monthly offerings.

I invite you to listen to:
Discourse on the Am Dwat
Meditation on the Am Dwat


July 22 - 25, 2010 in San Jose, California
Hidden in Plain Sight:
The Influence of Western Esoteric Movements
on Modern Thought  
A Conference for Scholars and Practitioners in San Jose, CA

I will be presenting a most evolutionary discovery with a
professional colleague.

"Tracing the Roots of a Twentieth Century
Recovery Phenomenon to the Royal Tombs of
Egypt"

Hidden in plain sight are two parallel texts of personal
alchemical transformation. Both can be attributed with
shaping the human experience of the Divine within a specific
time and both offer a map for a journey of self discovery.  
Both are structured as 12 sequential progressions to
wholeness. One comes from the ancient origins of the
Western Esoteric Tradition (The ancient Egyptian mystical
text called “The Treatise on What is in the Hidden Chamber”
or “The Am Dwat” (ca. 1550-1400 BCE), the other from
modern American Spiritual Psychology, Bill Wilson’s 12
Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (1939).  

One seems to have offered its powerful secret knowledge
only to the highest ranks of ancient Egyptian culture, while
the other text is freely available to what is often referred to
as the “dregs of humanity,” namely struggling addicts
protected only by the thin veil of anonymity.  The core
messages of both these 12 faceted journeys will be
excavated and compared, revealing the timeless Truth held
within the divinely inspired human passage of reintegration
and ‘re-membering’. These two texts will be presented for
consideration as therapeutic models that will continue to
revolutionize humanity’s psycho-spiritual journey of
transformation.
