Of this volume the publisher says: "'The Opening of the Way', which is solidly based on the spiritual realities that were the functional pillars of the wisdom of ancient Egypt, as well as the basis of the Western Spiritual Tradition, is meant to help the reader gain access to the dynamic unity that produced the greatest of all known civilizations, at the same time explicating the many mysteries approached in Her-Bak: Egyptian Initiate. In her Her-Bak Books Isha Schwaller de Lubicz transmitted in a fictional context the atmosphere and teachings of ancient Egypt, based on her extensive research and collaboration with her husband, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz." The author's husband and collaborator, René Adolphe Schwaller de Lubicz ( 1887 -1961), was a French mystic and author who popularized the use of sacred geometry in Egyptology during his study of the art and architecture of the Temple of Luxor in Egypt.
