Ancient Egypt Art

Revealing the profound Truths of Life

Ancient Egyptian art was intended to reveal the profound Truths of Life. That it still exerts such a strong appeal to us today is due to the inspiration and Occult Knowledge of those who created it. We use the words 'Occult Knowledge' advisedly and deliberately. For 'occult' does not mean something supernatural or unscientific, as the many are taught to believe, but simply hidden away.

This hidden knowledge embraced all that modern science has discovered about the material world, but in addition, it encompassed the hidden laws of Nature that science does not know, because material science continues to deny the Spiritual basis of Man and the Universe. Science knows, for instance, that certain colours produce certain psychological effects, and we all know not to wave a red rag at a bull! But science does not know why the colour red has this effect. Nor does it know why certain geometric forms please us and others disturb us, or why razor blades stay sharp in a model pyramid, as anyone can demonstrate for himself, and has been scientifically proved countless times. But the Artists of Egypt did know, and the proof is in the many masterpieces they created that still enchant and puzzle us, even after thousands of years. We wonder how much will be left of our art three thousand years from now? Not much, you may say, and we can only pray that you are proved right!

We may say then that the Egyptian Artist was a scientist in the best and highest sense of the word, who applied the laws he had learned in the service of his fellowmen and women, and raised up their thoughts through the medium of his art. We can also say he was a magician, since through his brush and paints, he revealed the great Truths of Life in symbolic form. Truths which open up a higher reality and deeper awareness of the Universe and our place within it. This, then, is the essential message of Ancient Egyptian art and of the wisdom taught in the Mystery Schools of Ancient Egypt — which was, and remains the Light of the World.
