Lord of the horizon

Far Memory

by Joan Grant

Ra-ab Hotep, the youthful hero of Eyes of Horus, is twenty-one when this novel opens. His father has just abdicated in his favor and he is now the Nomarch of the Oryx. Over Egypt there is a dark tyranny and the Watchers of the Horizon, under the leadership of Roidahn, prepare for the Dawn, the day when they would be ready to overthrow It. Lord of the Horizon relates the story of Ra-ab Hotep's struggles against oppression and tells of his wife Meri-ososis and his sister Kiyas. "The shining ideas In this novel are the recognition and over-coming of inertia, jealousy, power-complexes In oneself and others; behavior to children, etc. . . , reports Time and Tide and then continues to say that "the charm of Miss Grant's beautifully composed Egyptian setting and the interest in the effect on Individual consciousness of the belief In 'many lives of experience' are as fresh as ever."

Reviews

[Joseph Downey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this book for the principles it contains, the beautiful prose, and the fact that it's in story form. It's not a carefully crafted plot. The writer lingers over what interested her. It's page-turning quality is in the truths it contains.

In het nederlands gelezen: Heer van de horizon.

[Juliet Waldron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read these books in my early teens in one voracious sitting during a school holiday. The living breathing world Grant creates have stayed with me for fifty years, and it's been a treat to re-read them.

Will Ra-ab, and those who work with him, manage to "Send Fear into Exile"?

Once again, Joan Grant has written her memoir... Re-living, and helping us readers to re-live, another story of a previous lifetime.

From her memoir from this lifetime, "Far Memory," I learned that she found a good practitioner of past-life regression. Thus, Joan gathered information for this amazing narrative.

Because this incarnation took place in Ancient Egypt, I think it sheds light on Earth's Big History as well.

Although this story reads like a novel, it is much, much more.

FIVE STARS

I like Joseph Downey's review, it says what I felt was most important about the book. I think it's an accurate presentation of the culture at that time, mixed with her metaphysical beliefs, which whil maybe not 100% accurate are probably pretty darn close, imo. I'll definitely be reading more by Joan Grant.
