Lizla, the Daughter of Isis, is a psychic princess whom we see evolving through her coming of age experiences which are both mystical and human – describing her own awakening in the flesh and in the Spirit. The novel is set in the ancient history of the Middle East and projects in to it many timeless issues of spiritual awakening, budding romance, political intrigue and coming of age in difficult – if not chaotic circumstances. It is not a coincidence that this geographic area seems to sustain the same conflicts today, even if many of the cultural parameters have changed. Here is a comment from a professional reviewer of the first edition of this book: “Although the story line follows Princess Lizla as she enters into her study of the mysteries, there is more focus on her lessons than on the activities of her life. Delving into the energies of the chakras, the powers of the gods, and the value of self-awareness, Nirupa provides valuable insights for personal journeys of discovery and understanding. While this is a fictional account of the ancient Egyptian civilization, Nirupa does a wonderful job of explaining how such diverse cultural and religious backgrounds might have come together to create a thriving empire that survived a millennia. Reading this book is not a process of immersing oneself in the identity of a fictional character. Instead, it is an act of introspection, reflection, and meditation that can enhance one’s immersion in oneself.” Wendy Strain for USD Review of Books

At its height, the Egyptian empire extended from the Sudan to the Mediterranean Sea from as far West as Libya to as far north as modern day Turkey. But by the end of the 21st dynasty, this magnificent kingdom was threatened by very disturbing forces both inside and outside the Kingdom. The Nubians, the Hittites, the Assyrians, the incipient Greek kingdoms, and the Sea People (Carthaginians?) jealously competed and tested the limits of the Reign of the Pharaohs. Lizla, a beautiful and inspired princess was born to save her country from the chaos of a fracturing Empire. With her psychic prowess and spiritual mentoring she reinvigorates her culture in the ways of love, beauty, spiritual awakening and even political power and friendship. In times that call for juggling competing fidelities and precarious enemies, Lizla struggles with her own loyalties, responsibilites and ultimate purpose in life. Instructed by the goddess Isis herself she plunges into her mission - to discover the ancient mysteries that stood at the root of Egyptian culture. This book depicts the princess's preparation for this profound mission, her journey to understanding her own power and her initiation into the mysteries of one of the most fascinating cultures in world history.

• Examines the Oldawan, the Ancient Soul of Africa, and its correlation with what modern psychologists have defined as the collective unconscious • Draws on archaeology, DNA research, history, and depth psychology to reveal how the biological and spiritual roots of religion and science came out of Africa • Explores the reflections of our African unconscious in the present confrontation in the Americas, in the work of the Founding Fathers, and in modern psychospirituality The fossil record confirms that humanity originated in Africa. Yet somehow we have overlooked that Africa is also at the root of all that makes us human--our spirituality, civilization, arts, sciences, philosophy, and our conscious and unconscious minds. In this extensive look at the unfolding of human history and culture, Edward Bruce Bynum reveals how our collective unconscious is African. Drawing on archaeology, DNA research, depth psychology, and the biological and spiritual roots of religion and science, he demonstrates how all modern human beings, regardless of ethnic or racial categorizations, share a common deeper identity, both psychically and genetically--a primordial African unconscious. Exploring the beginning of early religions and mysticism in Africa, the author looks at the Egyptian Nubian role in the rise of civilization, the emergence of Kemetic Egypt, and the Oldawan, the Ancient Soul, and its correlation with what modern psychologists have defined as the collective unconscious. Revealing the spiritual and psychological ramifications of our shared African ancestry, the author examines its reflections in the present confrontation in the Americas, in the work of the Founding Fathers, and in modern Black spirituality, which arose from African diaspora religion and philosophy. By recognizing our shared African unconscious--the matrix that forms the deepest luminous core of human identity--we learn that the differences between one person and another are merely superficial and ultimately there is no real separation between the material and the spiritual.
