Lecture at OZORA FESTIVAL 2018, 29 july - 5 Aug. 2018
Dádpuszta, HUNGARY
Website Dr. Massimo Izzo at OZORA Festival
Description:
The lecture will be about the so-called “funerary” ancient Egyptian texts from royal pyramids and tombs, from 2400 b.C. to 1300 b.C., the most ancient surviving texts dealing with the immaterial components of human beings.
In contrast with an intuitive belief, the journeys and adventures of the various “souls” that composes human unseen structure, described in those texts, doesn’t relate only to the dead, but also to the living, as Egyptians stated. In recent time, Depth Psychology recognized that the real subject of those texts is the human unconscious psyche and efforts have been made to understand the processes described in those texts. So, the lecture will explain those beliefs about the human soul and psyche, drawing comparisons with shamanism, psychology and other ancient religions. The journeys of the KA, the “Double”, a kind of astral body of living humans, to the stars between the “Gods”, and the journey of the “BA-Soul” in the in the dangerous Netherworld, is a process of immersion in the world of the Shadows of the human psyche.
