THERE IS A DOOR IN YOUR HEAD
It is the door, which separates ordinary consciousness from higher states of consciousness, mundane thought from genius.
In the distant past, mysterious ancient cultures including Ancient Egypt who represent man at his proudest moment, understood the importance of finding the door and accessing the power that lie just beyond, More than that they took special care to communicate a timeless record of the process that could bring about a certain higher state of consciousness that was attainable by all who understood how to open the door
