The Kemetic Tree of Life Ancient Egyptian Metaphysics and Cosmology for Higher Consciousness

by Muata Ashby

In the early period of Ancient Egyptian history, earlier than in any other culture, before the Hindus, Buddhists, Kabbalists and Taoists, there was a teaching of the TREE OF LIFE. This was a special teaching describing the secret wisdom about the nature of the universe and of the soul as well as a path to make the journey, through varied phases of spiritual evolution, from mortal to immortal and from earth to heaven and beyond. The goal is to regain oneâeTMs divine stature and transcendental place. In its earliest form, originated in Ancient Egypt, it was related to theurgical religious system developed in the priests and priestesses of the Ancient Egyptian city of Anu and the Tree was seen as the source of life. This book explains that teaching, which has been available to all, but missed by those who did not possess the keys to unlock its mystic formula. In this volume the Creation teaching of Anu, the TREE OF LIFE metaphysical teachings, disciplines and techniques, from the hieroglyphic texts, are given.

Bruh… this took me FOREVER to get through! I was taking a lot of notes and stuff though. But mannnnnn this book is packed…

I think this book is a really nice introduction to ancient Egyptian spirituality. It’s the first time I’m reading extensively about it. Ashby clearly cares a lot about helping the reader understand the Book of Coming Forth, understanding the Neterian mythologies, understanding the meaning of terminology and important hieroglyphs, etc etc. His passion definitely shines through. I think readers should, however, be mindful that this book is NOT Egyptian spirituality coming directly from Nile Valley texts. This is a very spiritual, knowledgeable man’s interpretation of those texts and his dissemination of that understanding in a thought system that he believes will make sense to his audience. This isn’t meant to discredit Ashby, but just a reminder to remain critical and continue reading more (a reminder for myself mostly).

As far as the actual formatting and text in the book, this thing is crazy and could definitely have been edited way wayyyy better. It gets mad confusing at times, and things are repeated, and misspelled, and words are kinda all over the place. It makes an already dense read just a bit harder. I kind of forgive it though, because I realized while reading that this text is actually a transcription of lectures he gave. So I assume a lot of the errors come out of the fact that he was talking and teaching, and that’s cool.

Overall, Ashby does well to bring knowledge forth, and do so in a way that doesn’t always gotta be that annoying thing where we’re dividing and putting people in hierarchies. He doesn’t spend an overwhelming amount of time tryna convince you that Africans were the first at everything (though I subscribe to that theory a lot lol), he doesn’t try n say that people who listen to him are gods on earth above the peasantry that doesn’t follow these words. He really just wants to inform interested people and help those people better themselves. I’m with it! If you’re interested by this book don’t be afraid to pick it up!

Muata Ashby breaks it down to the lowest common denominator.

Good book

Good book for people seeking ancient African spiritual practices. Explain the Kemetic Tree Of Life very well. Aging people who are willing to leave there comfort zone for something different.
