One Life: An Autobiography of a High Priestess and Pharao in Ancient Egypt

By Anne-Marie Seidenschnur

Did you ever ask yourself whether you have lived before? Did you ask where or when?

If you already believe in reincarnation, read this fascinating story from prehistoric Egypt about a previous life of the author that begins before birth and ends after death. This was the life of a priestess and pharaoh approx. 6000 years ago when Egypt was at its prime and the priesthood enlightened. It’s an inspirational tale, and you cannot help wondering - why is our world not a better place?

And if you don’t believe in reincarnation – why not read the story and get to know a nearly Utopian society and ask yourself again: Is it really impossible that this did happen? And is it not possible that it may happen again?

Memories of Joan Grant’s historical novels from past lives and Elisabeth Haich’s spiritual classic: “Initiation” come back to life. Joan Grant was the first to develop her gift of “far memory” into a form of reincarnation therapy with her psychiatrist husband, a therapy which is now popular worldwide.

Preparation for Birth

The walk through the desert was pleasant, not as hot as it could be during the day, nor as icy cold as it got at night, but pleasantly warm—just the right temperature. I made shapeless imprints in the sand with every step I took. A quiet wind moved across the sand. It was fascinating to watch the infinitely changing forms and lines of the sand. If I impressed on myself to remember a sand landscape and then moved a little further on, everything had changed. The shadows had changed, the lines had changed, the slopes had become steeper or more flat, tops turned into plateaus that led higher up, and the points that I thought were very close turned out to be far away. It was as if the desert around me was alive and moving.

I stopped and stood quietly for a moment.

Who are you, desert? Who are you? I asked into the warm air. Are you alive? Show me who you are!

I felt the desert vibrate, the sand, the breeze, the heat, and the light. Slowly, a shape became visible in front of me. Gradually it grew clearer until I could distinguish a face and eyes. It was a sandy, golden color.

I am the spirit of the desert!

The words undulated slowly toward me. Time seemed to stand still. I sensed a roguish look in his eyes, as if he said: Well, what do you think of that? I could not help answering.

Doesn’t it get a trifle too hot out here sometimes?

He answered in a deep, resounding laughter that appeared to come from everywhere, as if the air, the sky, and the mountains of sand joined in.

I smiled and looked at him more closely. His resonant, slightly deep voice and his radiation of strength and energy made me believe that he was a man. He was approximately 2½ meters tall, and his body seemed to be lit up from the inside. Currents of light radiated from him and disappeared into the sand and into the air around him, as if he was nourishing the desert.

How do you like it in my warm and sandy kingdom? Does it please you to get sand everywhere, even in the most intimate places? he asked me.

I looked at him with surprise and caught a teasing expression in his shining eyes.

Really! I couldn’t help laughing. Is that the way to welcome a stranger in the desert? I saw golden, sand-colored rays of light radiate toward me, and as they mingled with the white rays of light radiating from me, a froth of dancing bubbles was created. Well, this is what high spirits look like, I thought.

What are you actually doing here, so far away from everything? I asked the desert god.

I take care of life here. I take care of the sand, the insects, the small animals, the gold, and the minerals in the ground. Deep in the earth there are many minerals and precious stones, particularly gold. That is why this part of the desert is of a golden hue. The vibration of gold becomes a physical color. It is a very pure and invigorating vibration. It cleanses you when you walk through it. I guard and nourish it with my energy.

I am also in contact with other nature gods. We try to amplify the energy in the area to strengthen life. We connect and create a web around the Earth to guard the life of the entire globe and keep the energy of the Earth intact and safe. We nurture the spirit of the Earth which lives in the center of the globe. And we also receive light and energy from the stars and planets that we transform and direct into the desert and the Earth. There is an eternal receiving and passing on of energy and life throughout the Universe.

As he spoke I saw, using my inner eye, the other spirits of nature, the web around the world, and the pulsation back and forth through the channels of energy.

That is very interesting indeed, I said. Thank you for the information. I would not have thought a desert to be a transformer of energy, if you had not told me so.

I am on my way to the great river, to the city with all the temples, I continued. I am to live my next life there.

The god of the desert answered slowly with a discerning look in his eyes.

You are highly appreciated by the Wise. It is a holy place. It is a great honor. To live in the big temple is reserved for the very few, the pure. It is the heart of our country and the heart of the Earth, from which large amounts of energy radiate. He bowed respectfully before me.

It is seldom that the desert meets ‘the pure’. Usually they prefer other means of transportation. Greetings, and I wish you well on your journey.

I bowed to him in the same respectful manner, smiled, and continued across the sand.

As I moved on I contemplated how it was possible to communicate with the forces and spirits of nature. Not one word had been spoken out loud, but it felt as if the words were vibrating three-dimensionally through the air, or rather, the atmosphere. Not as sound, but as waves of energy with form, color, and resonance. And you could feel and sense when you were struck or penetrated by the energy, understanding in the same instant what had been said. A conversation was an exchange of non-physical energy, none the less visible to the non-physical eye, capable of looking behind the physical form. And in my current light, non-physical body, this mode of communication was extraordinarily easy.

In the distance I glimpsed the big river with the surrounding green palm groves stretching far up the shores, as far as the irrigation channels. A fertile country.

I was drawn by a gentle but irresistible force towards this place. I knew I was to live a long and happy life here, working to strengthen and develop the country as a living and inspiring image for other nations on Earth. When I matured, I would become one of the leaders of the country, and I would make decisions on behalf of its people and direct it through the challenges of life. I felt confident in my future tasks.

I was getting closer, and from a vantage point I saw the river—the life of the Earth, the Nile—it was called. A clear and explicit name. Because of the river, the Earth was alive. Certainly an elemental truth.

It was pleasantly cool in the shade of the palm trees. The soil was fertile, the trees and plants either blossomed or bore fruit, and the animals in the fields looked healthy. A beautiful country.

A series of large edifices attracted my attention—the beautiful palace, the main temple, and close by, connected by a colonnade, a great pyramid. Majestic buildings lined with sweeping columns. A figure was standing outside, facing me. Finally! Finally I would meet him again!

I moved on until I stood in front of him, and as I looked into his intense, shining eyes, I was quite overwhelmed with love and gratitude.

He took my hands and held them for a moment.

Greetings, he said, briefly bowing. His gaze seemed to penetrate my soul. It is time. Please follow me.

This exceptional man was to be my teacher and guide in my future life. He already lived in a physical body, but met me now in the spiritual world. He was the spiritual leader of the country; he had taken the highest attainable initiations in life; he was the leader of the temples and the greatest and most powerful man in the country. His radiance was breathtaking, his strength enormous, and his insight sharp and accurate. He emitted a bluish light of immense intensity.

Along with my partner in this coming life, I was to be taught by him, to become his helper.

His name was The-one-who-sees-everything-and-brings-light. The written symbol for his name was an eye with the pupil in the shape of a sun. He was usually just called Ka-kefer or Ka, one of his names.

I followed him through the great hall and along many passages into one of the inner rooms of the temple. The room was dimly lit by two candles on a table by one wall. In the middle of the room was a simple bed of stone, and Ka-kefer told me to lie down. It was a special kind of stone that could absorb and concentrate very high energy frequencies. It would help me and strengthen me in what was to come. On the surface the rock just resembled ordinary gray granite. It felt cold to my touch.

Ka-kefer explained that I would first meet ‘the Wise’, who would outline the plan for my life. If I was able to accept the plan, my next step would be to meet my future parents and then—at the moment of conception—to begin my next physical life.

A female priest entered the room and stood at my feet facing Ka-kefer. Ka-kefer asked me to close my eyes and to concentrate on the sun in my heart as he positioned himself at my head and closed his eyes.

I closed my eyes too and soon sensed a golden light radiating in my chest. The intensity of the light grew and grew and enfolded the whole of my body. Then I heard the voice of Ka-kefer:

Get up! Follow me!

I opened my eyes and got up from the stone bed, noticing that the light body I was using now between lives was still lying on the rock. With Ka-kefer on my left and the priestess on my right, I was drawn into an intense light. I saw nothing but light, but heard voices mumbling in the background, and I had a feeling that we were moving. After some time the voices became clearer, and I was able to distinguish several individuals. Gradually I became aware that we stood in front of three men and three women. As the figures emerged, they approached me one by one and welcomed me. We were in a large hall, but I could see no walls, and the light seemed to come from everywhere.

We were invited to sit down at a large, oval table. I still had Ka-kefer on my left side and the priestess on my right side.

One of the women got up, introduced herself as Delia and bid me welcome again. She began to talk about my future life. She did not use physical, audible words, but sent her thoughts to me and the others so I felt, saw as well as heard what she said. She talked about the family I would be born into, my parents, who had both achieved the highest degrees of initiation and who were now the Pharaoh—the king and queen of the country.

The woman described what problems were in store for the country and how I would—along with my spouse, Ka-kefer and the advisers of the realm—lead the country through its crises. My advisers would be powerful men who would, with their knowledge and experience, contribute substantially to the continued strength and position of the country and as spiritual inspiration for the Earth.

You will be born a woman, she continued, and you will pass the highest initiations any woman has ever passed. Only Ka-kefer has achieved greater insights. You will give birth to three children, two boys and one girl, who will be trained in the same way as you. You are to rule the country with your husband at your side. You will pass higher initiations than him, while he on the other hand will be better trained in the art of warfare. Together you will possess incredible strength.

Can you accept what you have seen so far? the woman asked me.

Yes, certainly, I answered quietly.

I felt moved and overwhelmed that a life of such great responsibility was ahead of me.

Let us now meet your parents, she suggested and gradually an image of a man and a woman formed before my eyes. They were beautiful and radiated love and light, to each other and everything around them.

These two souls you know from a life on another planet, before you came to Earth. Your work together then was very positive and will serve to strengthen the life you are to share here. They are looking forward to your becoming their child. You will be their firstborn, followed by two siblings. Your brother, Te-i, will be born lame and therefore trained in management and accounting, to later become a vizier. As his soul has wished it, his disability will stop him from becoming a soldier, but will not otherwise cause him any trouble. Your younger sister will be spirited and be called the Light of Joy. Growing up she will become a priestess, teaching other priests and priestesses. Early on, you will meet your future husband and grow up with him.

The image of my future parents disappeared, and I was again aware of sitting at the oval table with Ka-kefer, the priestess and the three men and three women.

Delia addressed the man sitting on her left, asking him to introduce himself and to outline his special area of work. He got up and said:

I am Salithep. I have examined your earlier incarnations and have assessed your possibilities for optimal spiritual growth, both for yourself and for the country. Your possibilities are special since you originate from another planet and were involved with the creating forces on that planet for a long time and at a very deep level. At that time you were channelling creative, pure energy and participating in ‘nourishing’ the planet, securing its place in the solar system, while at the same time developing it. This allows you to now hold one of the highest offices on Earth with the purpose here too of stabilizing and giving life to the country and to the planet. Your future life will make the Earth more resistant to the tumultuous and chaotic period that will follow. Simultaneously, your personal life will become ‘impregnated’ with creative energy so that your stay on Earth will be shorter than many others. Moni-hep will tell you more about your life as a woman, he said and nodded to the woman on his left.

As you have heard, said Monihep, you will give birth to three children. By the age of 17 you will bear your first child. It is essential that the beginning of life for your children takes place in freedom of fear and other limiting emotions. Your personal strength must be developed, enabling you to go through these experiences, and you will receive whatever assistance necessary. Your first child will be a son who will later be trained to lead the army. Your second child will be a daughter, who will become an initiate like yourself. And your third child, another son, will create huge edifices, pyramids, where large amounts of pure energies may be stored. Their spiritual training will begin early and will be undertaken by Ka-kefer. Your future life will be blessed with joys and responsibilities, she concluded with a greeting, bowed respectfully to me and took her seat.

My name is Kaletem, said the man sitting to the left of Monihep and got up. And I have studied the possibilities you have in the choice of a physical body. You do not carry any major bodily weaknesses with you from previous lifetimes, which provides us with nearly unlimited possibilities. You will have a female body, resembling your parents in height and stature. This means you will be about 160 cm tall—taller than the average Egyptian, but normal for the royal family. Your hair will be black and straight, your face will be beautifully formed, and your head will have the characteristic, elongated shape which facilitates the development of the spirit. You will have slender, flexible, and strong limbs and inner organs that function freely. Your abdomen will be well suited for childbirth. From early childhood you will be taught to direct pure energy through your physical body for it to work without weaknesses or disease and remain strong and useful. In this way your body will give you optimal possibilities for fulfilling your scheme of life. Kaletem greeted me respectfully and sat down.

The Asian looking woman sitting on his left got up.

Greetings, my name is Kuitin. It is a happy day for all of us to see the potential of your future life outlined. I have studied your relationship to other people. That includes your relations to the leaders of other countries, your advisers, friends in the temple, in the palace, in the area around the palace, when you are a child as well as when you are grown up. You have the potential for creating good, strong friendships. Your radiation will be strong and that will at times awaken less positive emotions in scheming individuals. However, you possess the qualifications to evade these provocations in a diplomatic way. You have the ability to communicate with other people at a level that is understandable to them regardless of their background, culture or religion. A protecting energy shield will be created and placed above the temple and palace to protect you. This shield will repulse most negative energy forms that certain individuals may send towards you and others around you. If you move outside these areas, you yourself or with the assistance of others must deliberately create energy fields to protect you against direct astral attack. You will be taught how to do this growing up. The seer priests of the temple, yourself, and Ka-kefer will regularly examine whether hostile forces are trying to harm you. Jointly, you will be able to stop curses, threats or attacks before they develop and can do harm. You will be taught special techniques to protect your life no matter what may happen to you. You will acquire knowledge concerning instant self-healing. You will also be able to make yourself invisible and to transport yourself wherever you may wish. As a result you will have extraordinary possibilities in your interaction with the people surrounding you. Let God’s light flow freely through all living creatures! she concluded, greeting me, and sat down at the table.

The next man got up, tall and dark, bowed to me in greeting and looked at me.

My name is Jakob, and I have specifically investigated the possibility of violence and war between Egypt and other countries. Highly complicated and complex energy patterns create problems that may result in war. During your reign, there is a possibility of several warlike, scheming, and at times malicious attacks on Egypt, both physically as well as astrally. I have studied these circumstances, the physical military attacks and their background in the psyche of the enemies. Furthermore, as I mentioned, there is also the possibility of astral attacks that may affect crops and cause sickness and disease in animals as well as humans. The priests will constantly watch over our country, and this is an absolute necessity. Any attack or suspicion of attack will be examined in depth and the appropriate precautions taken. Together, the priests lead by Ka-kefer are stronger than the worst enemies. But the vigilance, strength, and resourcefulness of each and everyone will be needed to preserve and increase the eternal light of God on planet Earth. Your role as a high initiate will be crucial. You will have a key position in balancing and evaluating the relevant information. You possess the power of discernment, and you will need it. Let God’s eternal light guard, guide, and bless you!

He sat down, and the next woman at the table got up. It was the priestess on my right hand side.

My name is a difficult one, but it simply means ‘the-one-who-has-lived-for-a-long-time’, and I have examined the possibility of increasing the light of God on Earth in the near future. The Earth has long been a dark planet, and plan after plan to improve the situation have all failed from a lack of interest and cooperation. Man has not wanted to give up his old habits in spite of all the suffering. Innumerable forms of help have been given, but time after time this help has been ignored or ridiculed. We now have the opportunity to intensify this help by virtue of your presence. You have great life experience from a planet in a galaxy far from here. This planet is bonded in energy to the planet Venus in our solar system and carries the same name. By virtue of this experience, you possess the strength and ability to channel new, creative energy through Earth itself and to allow it to manifest itself in Egypt. In this way the country may serve as an inspiration and as a catalyst of an enlightened life for the entire population of the planet. The development of Earth has been studied, and a high potential currently exists for improving and stabilizing its situation. We are always trying to expand God’s healing light everywhere. And there is a great need on Earth.

The woman ‘who-had-lived-for-a-long-time’ sat down, and Ka-kefer began to speak.

My love to everybody and especially to Kelatep, which will be your new name—‘God’s Light on Earth’. You will be given many names, as all royals do. Another will be ‘she-who-crosses-the-firmament-with-God-by-her-side’ and another simply daughter of Ptahhotep. It is a happy occasion that brings us together today—the intensification of God’s light on Earth. That is the goal we all work towards, and it brings us tremendous joy. The time to come will be a high point in the history of Earth in every way. Spiritually, scientifically, artistically, culturally, and also in relation to foreign countries, and the country will see a period with less illness, suffering, and poverty than it has in a long time. This will be achieved through immense cooperation, every single individual working attentively, carefully, and efficiently. Jointly, we can lift up our Earth to a new spiritual level where nobody needs to suffer psychologically or physically, but may instead be filled with God’s lifegiving light, a golden age. We welcome you! he said to me, bowing.

The participants rose from the table and began talking to each other. One by one they again approached to greet me, shook my hand, and then gradually became more and more invisible, until they had disappeared completely. At last only Ka-kefer, the priestess, and I were present.

Let us go back to the temple, said Ka-kefer, and again, without seeing any details around me, I had the feeling that we were moving. Shortly I became aware that I was lying on the hard stone bed in the temple, and as I opened my eyes I saw the two priests at either end of the bed.

Get up, said Ka-kefer as he reached out his hand to me. I grasped it and got up. We left the dimly lit room and entered a bright hall where we sat down at a small round table.

Can you accept the plans for your future life? It will be a life that will benefit you, the country, and the Earth optimally. A life in God’s light, asked Ka-kefer.

Yes, I said quietly, I am deeply touched and honored by the opportunity, and I shall do my very best to fulfill the plans. I cannot possibly wish for more!

Then let this become a physical reality, concluded Ka-kefer. The priestess ‘who-has-lived-for-a-long-time’ will escort you to your room where you will be staying. The following weeks you will spend in the temple, where you will follow your mother’s preparation for the conception. She will fast, meditate, and perform physical exercises. This will allow God’s creative energy to flow through her in the best way possible in preparation for your new life. ‘She-who-has-lived-for-a-long-time’ will guide you, and you and I will meet again in one month at the conception. He then bowed and left us.

The woman ‘who-had-lived-for-a-long-time’ showed me to my room in the temple and told me about my mother’s daily programme.

Your mother gets up with the sun, salutes it, and unites with its energy, letting it pour through her body and soul, passing it on to the Earth. When she is fully resplendent with the light of God, she is to perform a series of physical exercises that benefit the flow of energy and light through her body. Then she will drink a little and eat just a few herbs that will activate certain centers in the central nervous system. It is essential that these centers are fully activated from the moment of conception. This includes the center in the prolongation of the spinal cord, in charge of breathing—the breath of life. These centers work as life pacers, setting the rhythm of life.

Another important center in the brain is the pineal gland, which is the physical connection, the door of entry, to the spiritual world. This gland must be activated in a high degree in order for you to take the highest initiations. The fresh juice from various roots have this effect, and at a certain time it will become necessary for your mother to fast to concentrate all her energy in this center instead of spending energy digesting food.

Close to this gland is another important area, the pituitary gland, which controls many important functions in the body. Furthermore, it is the energy center responsible for all the lower initiations which have to do with your earthly life until you step into the spiritual world through the pineal gland.

Your vision must be enhanced so you can see the past, the present, and the future even from birth. To achieve this your mother must send the energy of God, the light of the sun, through her third eye and allow it to flow through the centers mentioned and further on to her entire body. When her body is completely lit, she will pass the light back to God through her third eye.

I will see you at sunrise tomorrow. I will fetch you here, and we can walk to the temple together, she said and bade me good night.

I made ready for the night, laid down on the bed, and fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

In the following weeks I followed my mother’s program and experienced a freedom, a lightness, and a spiritual openness that was overwhelming. I communicated clearly with the forces of nature, speaking with the wind, the spirit of the river, the great spirit that animates our planet, and the enormous soul that is part of the sun. I learned important information concerning the development of Earth, the movement of land masses, volcanic eruptions, and floods. I saw the spiritual history of mankind, the cognitions of man or lack of, the fights among themselves, and their stubbornness which would hold them to negative patterns of behavior damaging the Earth. I
