As I have said in some of my previous writings concerning the mysterious society of the Ancient Egyptians, various species of the human type, and as confirmed by the fingerprints of their astonishing knowledge of the universe, have been lost in the backyard of history, or perhaps they have simply transcended this seeming dichotomies between matter and energy, distance or proximity in the will-network of CWW (Cosmic Wide Web).
We may laugh at the ancient people, however simpleminded and superstitious, I am bound to admit "their broad canvas of spiritual sensibilities, was perhaps more keenly attuned to the awesome music of the higher spheres, nay, more receptive to this Universal Spirit: the awesome operations of Mother Nature anymore than a network of energy --as it is our brain a wonderful biological simulacrum of the cosmos.
Their revolting ignorance, so I dare say, was not so much in the silly worship of idols (polytheism) --for many people today could be said to be worshipers of some form of religious denomination.
Some Protestant religious groups, even non-denominational, may sincerely adhere to their own belief-systems, namely, that the Bible (The Word of God) in its entirety is their last authority, but one may frown-upon the fact that Christianity, like Hinduism, is to be assessed as a religion of one thousand monikers, however divided, for the interpretation of the simple teachings of Jesus.
This splenic division is most obvious when I speak to a Mormon or a Jehovah Witness, their metaphysical explanations to filling-in some revolting dogmas in the Bible, i.e., the doctrine of hell, and the countless people born before the common of era of our Lord Jesus Christ, could be judged as wishful attempts to amending some incomprehensible tenets in their belief-systems.
Obviously without the admission of reincarnation and karma, it is quite a daunting task to explaining the mysteries of sufferings. Catholics, to a certain extent, largely believe in the existence of the Purgatory, and this, however without support in the canon of the Protestant Bible, seems to me not only plausible, but even "morally necessary."
The ancient people's stupid idolatry, polytheism, except for the dear children of the Nile and Summer, has not yet developed a systematic comprehensive framework to tracing back every phenomenon as belonging to a greater network in the Cosmic Mind of God: Yahweh.
(My admiration for the Ancient Egyptians could have been born out of this general dissatisfaction for the Spiritual Crisis of Our Times.)
Despite all this, nonetheless, the crisis of our time "the phenomenon of sectarianism in the world's leading religions" could place many religious groups but on equal standing with the numinous experiences of the ancient pagan people of Greece.
Today, nevertheless, while most intelligent people boast themselves on the healthy benefits of atheism, we have to admit the other cults of science and materialism, e.g., the Law of Relativity, Quantum Physics, the Internet, et al., as exerting tremendous influence in the interpretation and meaning of modern society: a web of dreams, virtual reality, the quintessential phantasmagoria of our times, may still make us grope and fumble in the uncharted realms of the numinous experience.
As observed by French philosopher Jean Baudrillard, reality, in the purview of any physical contact with other entities out there, has been bargained for the other illusive effigies, viz., ghostly people and idols haunting the world of the Internet.
These gods, however masters of our lives, while rarely worshiped in the ritual performance of religious ceremonies, should not be underestimated when deeply delving into the unconscious realms of idolatry in the depths of our mind, because if there is any mystery to the advent of the Antichrist (the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 24), one would have to admit that these spiritual entities, artificial Intelligence, mechanization, automatism, are little by little winning over almost every aspect of our lives.
Monotheism, it is generally believed kickstarted with the religious systems of the Jews, but we may forget that Judaism is simply an offshoot of much older belief-systems loaned from the ancient people of Babylonia (peruse the writings of Ezequiel in the Old Testament, and confirm the many symbols and images as reminiscent to the sacred iconography of the ancient Babylonian people).
Nevertheless, the merit of the Abrahamic people was simply their systematic approach to the unification of all the phenomena of Mother Nature, Yahveh, as surging from the Omnipresent God of the Jewish people: a high-pitched mystification of the Philosophy of A. Schopenhauer.
Throughout history, nevertheless, some Jews, Muslims and even among the Christian believers, have not always embraced Mighty Yahveh as the loving God of Melchizedek, because this God of Justice (Jehovah in the Old Testament), when avenging the sins of our ancestors, at times, could be as terrible as the god Hades from Greek Mythology.
It is well known that the Persian people of Zarathustra had already developed a complex monotheistic philosophical system, but like the esoteric fraternity of the ancient Greeks, "the Gnostics," the Persian Religion (Zoroastrianism) could not hold sway the impetuous passions of the masses as did the Judeo-Christian religion or Islam, the latter one, nevertheless, appeals more to the fired feverish passions of fanaticism than to the shimmering sparks of reason.
If we are to be impartial in the classification of all major religious systems, we must admit that many religious beliefs were rather imposed through the tight-fist of established authority than through the free-choice of the philosophic mind.
Thus, the golden era of the great Islamic thinkers (al-Farabi, Avicenna, Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi, among other great Arab philosophers) could attest to a former glorious time when philosophy and religion held their seating throne in the sumptuous comfy couches of reason, civility and respect.
Ironically, once the most tolerant of all religious systems, Islam, whose great children heralded the Renaissance in Europe, have lost much of their former admirable penchant for the sciences, philosophy, gentleness and tolerance.
Overtime, such beliefs, ever heaving up in their right soil and clime, are then preserved through the gentle flow of customs and habits. The tropical people, for instance, tend to attune themselves with the warm festivities of the Sun (e.g., Ancient Egyptians) whereas bucolic people (white people) tend to find congeniality with Mother Nature (pantheism).
Religious beliefs and feelings are quite often handled down as any other cultural patrimonies...
Of course, every one would claim to hear the "sotto voce of God" in his head as a soothing gentle touch of the Holy Spirit.
Concerning the Ancient Egyptians from the Premises of Our Times
It has been observed that a superior race of people (e.g. Ancient Egyptians, the Children of Sumer, or the Ancient Greek gods) may had developed (or evolved) their sensorial faculties to transcending the matrix of time and space, and possessing a thorough understanding of themselves, they probably have also unlocked the secrets of remote viewing, tele-transportation (the Dream Organ of Schopenhauer's philosophy), telepathy, ubiquity, and other psychic abilities scarcely suspected with our current cerebral development.

Quoting from Schopenhauer's treatise on the Will In Nature:
"Space no longer separates magnetiser and somnambulist; community of thoughts and of motions of the will appears; the state of clairvoyance overleaps the relations belonging to mere phenomenon and conditioned by Time and Space, such as proximity and distance, the present and the future."

Indeed, many friends may have overlooked this insightful fact concerning our fellow brother Homo sapiens --all this, notwithstanding the Darwinian biological dynamics of evolution as still affecting our bodies-- that mankind's most deeply seated desire is to reach the twinkling stars. Some philosophers believe Mankind's inner faculties to be evolving beyond the limited scope of David Hume's matrix.
The Crocodile of Desires (the root of suffering, the basic teachings of Buddhism)
Please, become a master of your inner-self, and rein the restive crocodiles of desires and wanton appetites ("Will" in the reaffirmation of our sensual nature), and like the Ancient Egyptians, command the all-devouring animal to be obedient to you!
Like Zeus, be a terrible child of thunders and lightning bolts, and like Jesus, command the winds and the impetuous sea to obey you.
Rise up early in the morning, and claim your due as a prince-princess worthy of wisdom, wealth, intelligence, magic, chastity, ineffable music, kinship with Nature and for Nature; and finally, let a thrill of joy fill your heart with thanksgiving and gladness.
I am a terrible creature!

On Healing Through Faith and Magnetism
Few things, whether found in religion or philosophy, have so much persuaded me to admitting the power of thinking as a phenomenon akin to magnetism or kinetic energy.
Stubborn as I am for any easy chewing of religious cud or any enforced dogmatism, I am, nevertheless, totally convinced, by countless personal experiences, on the reality of miraculous healing, or on the power of the mind to transmitting energy through the mysterious will-network of our self-conscious thinking.
http://www.reiki.org/faq/learningreiki.html
True, just as for the devout Christian or pious Muslim, prayers may have the magical effects of healing, protection and the warding off of evil spirits, so we are all called to be vessels of a higher nature, love, forgiveness; and daily activated by the crystallization of the most elevated thoughts on the quest for God or Divinity, we may live a life in quiet devotion, humility, charity, contemplation and holiness.
After all, this is the best life on this earth. If you are lucky and can find congeniality with another human being, as united by pure love, agape, eros and mutual respect, then you may be willing to transmute the baser energies and animal instincts into the music of the higher spheres (The Walden Pond by Henry D. Thoreau, Higher Laws).
Couples who do not respect themselves on the basis of these premises are more likely bound to separate at a latter point.
Now, concerning Reiki, or Magnetism, we ought to treat ourselves as "sentient beings," for unlike spiritless machines, we are also moved by an array of the pleasantest feelings in the quest for holiness, perfection and the purification of our inner selves.
True, many religious fanatical people, may fail to perceive the "underlying principle" which transcends religious differences, and how faith, love and conviction may activate our mind to performing miracles and wonders.
The danger of religious fanaticism, as those naive ones (new age wackos) who may tamper with the mysterious operations of the Mind and Mother Mature (Witchcrafts), is that the unchartered territory of the unknown could never promise a safe haven in the journey of life.
At times, you may have to come to grips with a full-fledged devil like Satan or Asmodeus! And if you think you are wise, learn that the Devils instructed the ancient Babylonians in all the esoteric wisdom of astrology, demonology and soothsaying --and a black cat was always an omen for bad luck!
Rarely we would encounter a mystic that is situated in the "mean-point," and the new gurus of our time are quite often profiteers.
For the Christians, there are the devils and angels, and only through Christ could we command them to obey us. Of course, Christ, as a universal principle, has led our Christian philologists to embrace the Chinese Culture with greater respect. The lotus-flower may shine and blossom even in India!
There is also this incomprehensible antagonism in the core of every world's major leading religious system: and from the Book of the Dead of the Ancient Egyptians to the ponderous teachings of Zarathustra, there is to be found an ever-present dichotomy between the forces of good and evil.
Okay, I may still believe that, underlying the serious issues of life, death and suffering, the cult of our post-modern sciences, like the canon of many religious systems, cannot elicit a satisfactory answer to the obvious disparity inherent in the constitution of both the individual and society.
What is striking is that Mother Nature seems to be prolific and prodigious to keep spawning a staggering number of human beings of the worst kind, damaging the most splendid and lush habitats of the planet earth. Like Sigmund Freud, I am inclined to believe that the world is rife with trashy people who could care less about any enhancement of the human type.
Some Christian friends must admit sectarianism and schism as splitting the body of Christ, and perhaps the emissaries of Mammon-Profitability, are aware that the god of money has compromised the simple teachings of the Man of Galilee.
The ancient people, however behind us in technology and medicine, seemed to have mystified the mysterious forces and operations of both the subject and the object (Nature) and they could not but hold Mother Nature with awe, reverence, respect and terror.
Concerning the mysteries of the mind, much has been shed on the underlying layers of our unconscious and subconscious levels of psyche. A demon-possessed person, for instance, may be under the influence of psychic forces defying our comprehension. Today, nevertheless, such deranged a human being could be diagnosed and thence prescribed with some specific drugs for mental illnesses. In some remarkable cases, an exorcism is not to be discarded.
The situation could become even more challenging when Devils prescribe medicine to our sordid generations.
Even the Devils would agree that the business of selling or purloining souls have become more complicated these days (Faust Part 2 by Goethe): many pastors, impostors, have stolen the innocent souls from the holy shrines of Mother Nature. This is indeed the greatest tragedy for Christendom in USA.
On the other hand, countless souls have been lost in the ever-drifting river of consumerism, nihilism, narcism, the Internet, religious fanaticism.
Please, my beloved Christian friend, don't come to me with your "sanctified recipe of religious ideas" without the holy shrines of Mother Nature.
For the last 50 years, drugs, hallucinogenics and psychotropics, have redefined the very definition of virtual reality.
Of course, and as corroborated every day, one ought to be watchful and alert, for the reality of hatred, terrorism, fanaticism, are as real and evil as the very wanton passions of human beings.
Reaching a serene level of inner peace, "enlightenment," with the necessary essentials already provided by the holy shrines of Mother Nature, is indeed the best life I all can hope for.
