Deep Memory The Book Of Wserhotep

by Jeffrey Moyer

As you might have rightly assumed, the underlying premise of this book, and the two that will follow in the series, is the matter of deep what that means, and how it manifests in our awareness, both conscious and otherwise. It is by virtue of this deep memory, both personally and collectively, that we access what we conveniently refer to, for lack of a better descriptive term, as past life experience. This premise may seem strange and mysterious, even incredible, to many people reared in the Western cultural traditions. But I suggest to you that these memories, like all memories, such as those from your early childhood, help to define and shape the many interconnected layers of who we are. I have selected one of these “deep memories”, one that is strong and vivid in my mind, to be the core (but not exclusive) subject of this first book in the series. It is the life of Wserhotep, an Egyptian priest of the god Osiris, who lived during the late 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom. By circumstance of birth and rank, he was intimately connected with the households of four kings of this Amenhotep III, Akhenaten, Smenkhare and Tutankhaten/Tutankhamun. How many of us observe and celebrate the Sacred is also a significant element of this book, just as it has been a significant element of human experience since the dawn of our awareness. This most definitely applies to Wserhotep and his world. The Sacred was inextricably intertwined with every aspect of ancient Egyptian life, from the lowest to the highest in the Beloved Land of the Two Kingdoms. The gods, or more precisely their essence, were everywhere and in everything. All was ordered according to their will and judgment in a neverending interactive process of supplication and ritual. This process sought to preserve balance and truth (Maat), renewal and prosperity, both in the moment and for all time. Accordingly, this story is recounted through the eyes of a priest, one who was at the center of the religious and political milieu of his time. He was also at the center of a spiritual revolution that threatened, in the eyes of many of his contemporaries, to tear apart the very fabric of ancient Egypt’s venerable and seemingly unassailable religious institutions. As I mentioned at the outset, the story of Wserhotep is not the sole subject of this book’s narrative. Far from it. We shall also explore other paths and pursue other timelines. Though these may seem at first glance to be separate and disconnected, I trust that you will discover that they are not. The Many are the a phrase I employ often and in different contexts, from the mundane to the sublime. And so it is with time itself; past, present and future are all one construct and are more fluidly inter-related than the relentless metronome of daily life encourages us to believe. There is yet one more thing I should tell you before you commit to investing time in reading this book. Depending on your worldview and preconceptions, you might also be inclined to relegate this particular premise to the realm of the incredible. We, as an emerging sentient species on planet Earth, are not alone, and we have not been alone for a very long time. Take that as you will. I shall present my own view as we proceed. It will be more fully revealed in the third and last book of this series.
