Egyptian Wisdom



Hermes: What marvellous sense has opened up to me?
I no longer see with eyes of the body, but with those of the spirit.
How has that come to pass?

Osiris: Child of dust, it is because the Word is in thee.
That in thee which hears, sees, and acts is the Word itself,
the sacred fire, the creative utterance.

Hermes: I see the seven regions which comprise the visible and invisible world...
Still, how does mankind journey through all these worlds?

The Vision of Hermes (Thoth)

*

True wisdom is less presuming than folly.
The wise man doubts often, and changes his mind;
the fool is obstinate and doubts not; he knows all things but his own ignorance...

Be capable of change in that which is right and men will rely on you.
Establish in yourself principles of action and see that you ever act according to them.
First know that your principles are just and then act.

Akhenaton.
King of Egypt, 14th century
