The Light of Egypt: The Science of the Soul and Stars by Thomas H. Burgoyne is a treatise on astrology, occultism, and the true nature of the universe. Comprising two volumes, this work explores the connection between the macrocosm of God and the microcosm of man.
Volume I explores the very foundations of existence, from the spirit to matter to creation. It then moves into the transitions of the soul, through the concepts of reincarnation, karma, and mediumship. Burgoyne explained that rather than reincarnating into another life here on Earth, true reincarnation brought the soul to a different, more elevated plane of existence.
Volume II builds on the foundation laid in Volume I, and explains additional concepts of astrology as well as ritual magic and the occult. This volume explores astro-theology, using the science of the stars to understand the creation and redemption stories of world religions, including Christianity. It also discusses astro-mythology, drawing parallels between the symbolism of the gods and goddesses and the stars and constellations.
The work closes with the Penetralia, or "The Secret of the Soul," to bring everything together in a final call to enter the Sacred Sanctuary and learn the "imperishable truth of our being.
The Light of Egypt is a work to be carefully studied by students of astrology and the occult, to give them a deeper understanding of the universe and their place within it.
