    "description": "More than once we can be amazed by the scienti?c wealth\nof ancient Egyptian culture. Regardless of whether it concerns\narchitecture,astronomy,mathematics, geometry, natural sciences,\nmedicine and healing, agriculture, chemistry, martial arts or philosophy.\nEgypt and not Greece is rightfully the cradle of our European culture.\nAll the great Greek scientists did spend years and years of training\nin the famous Universities of that time throughout Egypt. \nAmong them was Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Herodotus \nand Hippocrates.\n\nBecause the ancient Egyptian culture was a feminine fertility\nculture,sexuality was high on the priority list of every\nman and woman. Fertility was seen as a sacred gift of nature,\nand therefore a gift of the Gods and Goddesses.\nEach Deity represented an individual aspect of sexuality.\nSacred sexuality was practiced by the Goddesses Hathor and Isis.\nWhere Isis brought sacred sexuality into love relationships, \nthe Serpent Power practices of Hathor were meant to reach \nthe higher levels of consciousness and to self-realization\nby using our vital life force, called Sechem.\nThe way in which they looked at self-realization shows great\nsimilarities with how contemporary non-dual teachers speak of essence\nand realizing essential qualities. At that time, using sexuality\nto reach enlightenment was largely secret and only accessible\nto the happy few, who also dared to enter and undergo \nthe intense years of initiation and training.\nPart of this knowledge eventually took its way to India and the Far\nEast, where it became known under the name Tantra.\n\nBut the origins lie in Egypt and that which remains\nand is surrendered to knowledge and practice, can be found\nin this book.",
