A Search in Secret Egypt Paul Brunton 9780877286035 Books Reviews

• This is a timeless classic. Written in the 1930's and still as relevant today, because it deals with an ultimate step in human consciousness, that is awakening to the reality of the Universal Self. When you read the first chapters about more superficial subjects, you may think 'where is this book going?' Then when it comes to the climax of the journey, it all fits together into one theme, which is about becoming spiritually reborn. It draws various threads together from ancient and modern Egypt towards the real meaning of the story of Osirus and how these spiritual themes of ressurection or rebirth appear in every religion. The courage and determination of Paul Brunton is incredible.
  
  Whether it is crawling through tunnels full of scorpions - meditating alone in the Great Pyamid at night facing his inner fears - exploring crumbling temples at Karnak - handling venomous snakes - sifting through the fake and real fakirs - partaking in exotic Sufi ceremonies photographing and researching ancient records - he was a genuine Indiana Jones. It is a highly recommended well-written book that keeps on selling. And his other books are just as interesting.
• Even though it was written around a hundred years ago this book has a contemporary feel to it.Paul Brunton reports in a matter of fact way and his accounts are believable.He was extraordinarily broad minded and well travelled for his time.His books have stood the test of time and are even more interesting today because of all we now know about quantum physics etc.
• This is a good book but I thought it was going to be as good as " A search in secret India"......
• Paul Brunton never ceases to amaze me. He narrates some unique experiences in his search in Egypt and his perspective. A gem of a book.
• Good book if you are into this kind of stuff. Especially since it was written so long ago and nice to get a vision of what the world would have been back then.
• Paul Brunton rocks!
• I bought this book after reading the excellent "Pyramid Quest" by Robert M. Schoch. Mr. Schoch includes Brunton's description of his night in the Great Pyramid. I had high hopes for this book, but found the information quite dated, particularly regarding the Sphinx. Mr. Schoch proves conclusively in his book that the Sphinx is MUCH older than the pyramids, and that what we currently see as the head was re-carved much later from the original head. Somehow, Brunton misses this completely. Although somewhat interesting, Mr. Brunton's book seem just too out of date for me, and also a bit on the spacey side. If you want to learn something solid about the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid, read Robert M. Schoch's book instead.
• Beautiful book, excellent condition.
