Israel will be “a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. Why did the nations send their scholars to study in the universities of Egypt. The Greek historian Herodotus (500 BCE) stated: Of all the nations of the world, the Egyptians are the happiest, healthiest and most religious. The excellent condition of the Egyptians was attributed to their application of metaphysical realities in their daily life— in other words— total cosmic consciousness. As above, so below, and as below, so above. The scenes of daily activities, found inside Egyptian tombs, show a strong perpetual correlation between the earth and heavens. The scenes provide graphical representation of all manner of activities: hunting, fishing, agriculture, law courts, and all kinds of arts and crafts. Portraying these daily activities, in the presence of the neteru (ancestors, gods, for yet are all gods) or with their assistance, signifies their cosmic correspondence. Every action, no matter how mundane, was in some sense a cosmic correspondence act: plowing, sowing, reaping, brewing, the sizing of a beer mug, building ships, waging wars, playing games—all were viewed as earthly symbols for divine activities. In Egypt, what we now call religion, was so widely acknowledged that it did not even need a name. For them, there was no perceived difference between sacred and mundane. All their knowledge that was based on cosmic consciousness was embedded into their daily practices, which became traditions.
