Invitation to The House of Life '...the House of Life was also a symbolic representation of life giving forces. Religious Ritual at Abydos, Rosalie David The House of Life is a contemporary Mystery School. It takes its name from an ancient Egyptian institution, the Per Ankh. Today, we seek to embrace the spirit of the Per Ankh and to find a new inspiration in its ethos. The institution of the House of Life played an important if enigmatic part in Egyptian ceremonial and religious life. The more significant temples included a small and often unimposing building known as the House of Life where scribes and priests maintained archives, copied sacred texts and prepared litany through recorded precedent. Spells and formulae, so beloved of the Egyptians were written down here along with ceremonial protocol and the events of the religious calendar. The House of Life was also related to medicine and to magic which were seen as complementary. There is also a great deal about the House of Life which remains unknown and unrecorded. Nevertheless it is generally believed that the House of Life carried the seed of the mystery tradition which produced the fabled sages and initiates of Egypt. The 'house' symbolizes a domestic dwelling, ordinary life, families and shared living; what better image for a spiritual container than daily life itself. The emergent community of minds, a 'house of shared souls' is manifestly engaged in rediscovering sources of wisdom, acquiring life-affirming skills, developing personal talents, originating new ideas, spreading hope, investigating life's deepest mysteries in order to powerfully change the philosophy of separation for a philosophy of unity, moving from a cerebral head centered intellectualism to a compassionate heart based spirituality. This new spirituality encompasses both the life sciences and the arts from cosmology to nano-technology. You too are invited to put your shoulder to the wheel and engage with Life through the House of Life.  'The House of Life takes on a sacred character that fills us with infinite respect.' The Egyptian Miracle, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz  The House of Life - Aspirations We believe that we live during a time of radical transition and fundamental change which we understand as the passing of the age of Pisces and the birth of the Age of Aquarius. We believe that the contemporary world is impoverished by deeply ingrained schismatic philosophy which divides spirit and matter, heart and mind, intellect and imagination, humanity and the natural world. We believe that a holistic philosophical framework represents a positive and empowering contribution to the emergence of new global values. We believe that an accessible holistic philosophy is to be found in the spiritual ethos and Sacred Science of Ancient Egypt. We believe that new holistic models of being and living will be of great service to both individuals and groups who chose to engage with all emergent issues of human significance. We believe that it is vital to nourish and develop a wide range of holistic human abilities which unify the qualities of the head, the heart and the hands, creative thought, innovative vision, focused imagination, strong compassion and practical intelligence. We believe that it is important to support the transmission of metaphysical and practical systems, practices and approaches which uphold and further the integration of mind, body and spirit. ***************************** If ypou wish to become a Companion in The House of Life download the membership form here. |
