The Sema Institute is dedicated to the propagation of the universal teachings of spiritual evolution which relate to the union of humanity and the union of all things within the universe. It is a non-denominational organization which recognizes the unifying principles in all spiritual and religious systems of evolution throughout the world. Our primary goals are to provide the wisdom of ancient spiritual teachings in books, courses and other forms of communication. Secondly, to provide expert instruction and training in the various yogic disciplines including Ancient Egyptian Philosophy, Christian Gnosticism, Indian Philosophy and modern science. Thirdly, to promote world peace and Universal Love. A primary focus of our tradition is to identify and acknowledge the yogic principles within all religions and to relate them to each other in order to promote their deeper understanding as well as to show the essential unity of purpose and the unity of all living beings and nature within the whole of existence. The Institute is open to all who believe in the principles of peace, non-violence and spiritual emancipation regardless of sex, race, or creed. 5 The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Book of Coming Forth By Day ABOUT THE EDITOR The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Book of Coming Forth By Day Mysticism of the Prt M Hru: The Book of Enlightenment was edited by Dr. Karen “Dja” Clarke-Ashby Figure 1: A female Scribe from Ancient Egypt ABOUT THE EDITOR: Karen Clarke-Ashby "Vijaya" is the wife and spiritual partner of Dr. Muata Ashby. She is an independent researcher, practitioner and teacher of Yoga, a Doctor in the Sciences and a Pastoral Counselor, the editor of the Egyptian Yoga Book Series. Dr. Ashby has engaged in post-graduate research in advanced Jnana, Bhakti, Karma, Raja and Kundalini Yogas at the Yoga Research Foundation. She is a certified Yoga Exercise instructor, and a teacher of health and stress management uses of Yoga for modern society, based on the Indian and/or Kemetic yogic principles. Also, she is the co-author of The Egyptian Yoga Exercise Workout Book, and author of Yoga Mystic Metaphors for Enlightenment. A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR, ABOUT THE EDITOR: Dr. Karen "Vijaya" Ashby has been an ardent supporter of the Kemetic teachings, and it was due to her devotion and strength of will that this volume was made possible in the manner in which it has come forth. As an editor, or rather, scribe, she exceeds the ordinary qualifications for this job because she is an Initiate as well. Her keen insight into the philosophy is derived not only from her study of the teachings, but living them as well. This has been an invaluable asset, because she is not only able to correct typographical and grammatical errors, but also to make comments, suggestions and raise questions which allow the teachings to be expressed in a very accessible format. Therefore, I offer my obeisance to her for her service to me and to humanity. God always plans the best circumstances for all, and I feel especially blessed to have been granted the opportunity to have a partner who is dedicated to the path of enlightenment and upliftment of humanity, for there is no better human being that one can associate with than a person who is virtuous and devoted the Divine. It has been my honor to experience the good association of her company, input and suggestions which enrich the projects I have produced. It is rare for people to discover The Divine, and also rare for people to discover The Divine in their partner, so there can be no mistaking the glorious mission we have embarked upon and which has found unqualified success, as the Egyptian Yoga Book Series has found worldwide readership. Her support, encouragement, suggestions and dedication have made this possible. This great soul is in every way the embodiment of the philosopher and Kemetic Priestess. Her skills as a scribe are unsurpassed. May God continue to bless us with her presence in life, vitality and health for many years to come. -Dr. Muata Ashby 6 The Mystic Chapters of The Rau nu Prt m Hru: The Ancient Egyptian Book of EnlighteEnlightenmentnment ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. R.
