andldquo;Normandi Ellisandrsquo; work of a lifetime began when she wrote andlt;Iandgt;Awakening Osirisandlt;/Iandgt;, her ecstatic translation of the hieroglyphs found in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. It culminates nearly 30 years hence in her newest book Imagining the World into Existence. In 1988, she said: andlsquo;We make of ourselves what we imagine.andrsquo; Now, in 2012, we see she has imagined well.andrdquo;

Review
andldquo;This remarkable book emulates Egypt itself; it fuses philosophy, religion, art and science into a single inextricable Unity.

It is almost like actually being there! Not many books do that.andrdquo;
