Foreword
W hen Danielle Rama Hoffman ventured on her first of two pilgrimages to Egypt with me in 2002, I recognized a kindred spirit. She possessed the combination of awe, excitement, and ravenous enthusiasm that Ive personally experienced with every journey to Egypt since my original mind-blowing escapade in 1978.
I initially came to know Danielle years earlier as an avid student who took, no, devoured, every class I offered, first in Georgia and subsequently for several years in the Northwest. She had brought an impressive array of previously developed healing disciplines with her, and she began building a community of like-minded seekers and healers in Seattle. As part of her initiation to teach Alchemical Healing (and the related disciplines of Planetary Healing and the Egyptian Mysteries that she was studying with me), Danielle received transmission into a lineage of Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom, healing, and enlightened communications. Once the direct connection was established, Danielle responded to the call of Egypt with a passion that inspired her to return again and again, physically as well as in spirit.
One of the most remarkable perks that I enjoy in my role as a Shamanic Journeys tour guide is that of holding space for and witnessing the reactions of the participants as we proceed through our rites-of-passage rituals in each of the sacred sites. Spontaneous revelations happen, often related to the mystery school program of the moment, and often simply because the energy of the place catalyzes deep-seated memories and stirrings of the soul.
The temples and monuments of Egypt were designed, built, and consecrated by an initiated priesthood of adepts. Through magical rites they have been, and still are, imbued with ka, the field of intelligence sometimes referred to in people as their etheric double. Consecrated statues and temples also have ka, as do the creatures of Earth and sacred power vortexes in nature, upon which temples are often built. Ka is consciousness, and consciousness is ka; it is the spiritual power that surrounds and permeates all matter, and it contains the collective soul of the ancestors. Thus these temples and monuments emanate unique, distinctive, and palpable frequencies according to the intentions and the magical activations of their creators, and the gods, or neteru, who guided them. Every hieroglyphic image and statue that adorns the temples of Egypt expresses purposeful meaningand energy.
Almost every person who visits Egypt, whether on a serious spiritual quest or simply looking for a Kodak moment, is awestruck by the sheer magnitude of the accomplishments of the ancient Egyptian civilization. Those who respond to the call of Egypt as spiritual seekers with open hearts will doubtless feel a connection to those ancient magicians who archived their cosmology and beliefs in stone. The monuments themselves come alive and catalyze direct interaction with their vital essence, activating the heightened sensitivities that result in awakening and the expansion of consciousness. Those seekers will likely feel a personal connection to one or more places, often in the form of an inexplicable attraction. As their hearts continue to open, they are likely to experience spontaneous visions, outpourings of emotion, and even downloads of information pertinent to the interaction between the spirit of the monument and the situation or life purpose of the seeker. In the presence of a guide who is truly connected and who can convey appropriate guidance through meditation, initiatory rites, and rituals, the experiences of the seeker can become transformative, transcendent, and life changing.
Danielle Rama Hoffman is such a guide, and the teachings and meditations in this book are a testament to the relationships she has developed with many of the neteruthe gods of the Egyptian pantheonand with the spirits of place that inhabit the land and the stone and express themselves in the frequencies generated from what she terms Temples of Light.
A number of Egyptian mystery school traditions have come forth at this time to assist in awakening consciousness and opening the heart. Each has its particular focus, and many offer new iterations of ancient rites designed to renew our connection to the Divine. The journeys that Danielle Rama Hoffman provides in this book make available specific inherent attributes that can be accessed from the temples themselves, in accordance with the mystery school teachings that were conveyed to Danielle through Thoth and through the direct energy of each temple. Each initiation has the potential to alter your reality and catalyze change, and together they are designed to move you into a sustained heart-centered perspective, enhancing your ability to fully re-member yourself as the divine being that you are. Through the alchemy of the disintegration of that which no longer serves you, entrainment with the intelligence of the temples, and the subsequent rebuilding of all levels of your being, you become infused with the light of wisdom. You are given the opportunity to become whole again, to return to the natural state of joy, and to remember and fulfill your sacred purpose with, as Danielle reminds us, grace and ease.
