Sacred Commerce is the first ever living or “wiki” book which will incorporate the best additions and revisions from the online community for a new printing each year.
Mill Valley, CA, April 10, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Is spirituality mutually opposed to commerce? Ayman Sawaf and Rowan Gabrielle thought so, until an excursion to the Temple of Isis in Philae, Egypt transformed their lives and inspired their new book, Sacred Commerce: The Rise of the Global Citizen. Sacred Commerce reveals both the history and future of commerce, starting with the Merchant Priests of ancient Egypt who first practiced the skill of Emotional Alchemy which they mastered in their pursuit of beauty, goodness, and truth: their hero’s journey.
During their trip to Egypt, Rowan and Ayman found themselves standing in front of a carved stone. Two strangers insisted upon taking their picture in front of this stone, and the figure is revealed to be Bes, the ancient Egyptian god of Commerce and deity of the Merchant Priesthood. Having never heard of a merchant priesthood, the authors researched this obscure sect and found that five thousand years ago commerce was held as a sacred practice, not a just a financial transaction. It was a vehicle to raise the consciousness of individuals, the community, and was considered to be a path to self-realization.
Intrigued, the authors realized that this legacy was passed through time and culture, from the Egyptian priesthood to the exodus of Moses, from the quests of the Knights Templar, to the advance of arts and science during the reign of the Prophet Mohammad. Its mysterious secrets contributed to the success of the freemasons, and its principals were incorporated into the foundation of our present ideals of democracy, equality and social responsibility.
Sacred Commerce also features a collaborative website, www.sacredcommerce.com, where users can share their stories, add their insight and make revisions to create the next edition of the book, a publishing first.
