NEW SCIENCE / EGYPT "Malkowski makes the daunting arcana of materialist-based quantum physics admirably comprehensible and shows how consciousness-based 'new science' effectively reproduces the sacred science of the ancients. An exhaustively researched, lucid, balanced, elegantly subversive book." --John Anthony West, author of Serpent in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt Since the dawn of the Age of Science humankind has been engaged in a methodical quest to understand the cosmos. With the development of quantum mechanics, the notion that everything is solid matter is being replaced with the idea that information or "thought" may be the true source of physical reality. Such scientific inquiry has led to a growing interest in the brain's unique and mysterious ability to create perception, possibly through quantum interactions. Consciousness is now being considered as much a fundamental part of reality as the three dimensions we are so familiar with. Although this direction in scientific thought is seen as a new approach, the secret wisdom of the ancients presented just such a view thousands of years ago. Building on Rene A. Schwaller de Lubicz's systematic study of Luxor's Temple of Amun-Mut-Khonsu during the 1940s and '50s, Edward Malkowski shows that the ancient Egyptian worldview was not based on superstition or the invention of myth but was the result of direct observation using critical faculties attuned to the quantum manifestation of the universe. This understanding of reality as a product of human consciousness provided the inspiration for the sacred science of the ancients--precisely the philosophy modern science is embracing today. In the philosophical tradition of Schwaller de Lubicz, The Spiritual Technology of Ancient Egypt investigates the technical and religious legacy of ancient Egypt to reveal its congruence with today's "New Science." EDWARD F. MALKOWSKI is the author of Before the Pharaohs and Sons of God--Daughters of Men. He works as a software developer and historical researcher in Champaign, Illinois.
