The Temple of Dendera is among the most magnificent and beautifully preserved in Egypt, so much so that engineer Jose Barrera fell in love with it when he first visited. He then spent years creating “Dendera: Temple of Time,” one of the most magnificent photographic records of an Egyptian temple ever produced. What drew him to the temple? How does he understand the Egyptian concept of time? What IS an Egyptian god–or any god, for that matter? What is an egregore and how did the ancients go about bringing them to life. We go on a fascinating journey to one of the world’s most powerful and magnificent sacred structure with a passionate apostle of its beauty.

  1. The subscriber-only video podcast link isn’t showing up so I can watch the podcasts.

      I saw this and tried it and it’s working fine both on UC and on YouTube. I am not a techie, but maybe try clearing your browser history, then turning your browser off and back on and see if that helps.

    2. This message has been edited because the link to paid content that was posted in it is visible in the free areas of the site. Nonsubscribers cannot post here, but they can read the content.

      1. I posted the link to the paid content in the message board…and that link is still there.

        Are you saying that non-subscribers can see the contents of the Message board?…because when I log out and try to access it, I get a message reading “Sorry, only logged-in users can access the forum”.

        The only reason I posted it there, was because I thought it was subscriber-only. I would be interested to find out how non-subscribers can read the message board contents, as it will save me logging in, in the future.

  2. Interesting conversation.

    Interesting the parallels between egregore anf hyperobjects as described by Dr. James Madden. Both being related to the creative symbolism of our collective human experience, but then becoming forces which transcend any individual person and possessing momentum as a separate force which shapes human destiny.

    1. Good point! In Terry Pratchetts Discworld series, this is exactly how the gods of the Discworld come into existence. One of his earlier Discworld books is a spoof on Egypt.

    2. I was extremely interested in the egregore and hyperobject concepts and felt like they provided a really helpful framework for thinking about deities and other complex concepts.

  3. I so appreciated this very, very interesting and fascinating discussion. It opened my mind to look at many things in a new way, and that is precious. Thank you both so much!

  4. A very living temple ! I had the most strangest and deepest encounters in the garden and in the small temple beside Dendera’s temple.
    Dendera has not finish to teach us our origin.

  5. I’m suprised you didn’t ask him if he believed in reincarnation since that could also explain his affinity for ancient Egyptian culture… on the other hand the way you talked about it is also a good explanation…

  6. Such a wonderful interview and feel so grateful for having watched it. I thank you, both of you for this. Jose Maria Barerra, the feeling I get is that you are a deep thinker and have only shown a small part of who you are and what you believe, please do come back for another interview. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT ANCIENT EGYPT. Here is a quote regarding……The Emerald Tablets.

    QUOTE:
    “The Emerald Tablets of Thoth (or the Emerald Tablets of Hermes) are believed to have been discovered inside the Great pyramid. Said to be written by the Egyptian god Thoth or the Greek sage Hermes Trismegistus (Hermes the Thrice-Great’) at least 36,000 years ago, the work is the foundation for Hermetic philosophy and alchemy.”

    “As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…” ― Hermes …

  7. Amazing interview!

    Before listening, I visited Barreras’ website yesterday and ordered his book. I’ve been fascinated by, and studied Ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old, much like Whitley. I have a lot of books about the topic. I’ve seen some very piecemeal images from inside Dendera, but this new book has me excited to see more detailed images.

    For the the last few months I’ve had many synchronicities that center around Hathor, and anyone who is familiar with Chris Bledsoe (UFO of God)
    is probably aware that she is part of his remarkable experiences:

    There’s more about Hathor over the last few months, but suffice to say…it’s all more than coincidence, and I feel she is behind a project being undertaken by me and a friend in the near future.

    Whitley, I think you were thinking about Anthony Peake regarding the concept of ‘egregore’. He may be THE expert on that. I know that he’s been on ‘Dreamland’ in the past, plus interviewed by a friend of mine in the UK. I also have several of his books, and it may be time to hear from him again…or put Barrera in touch with him?

    Carrollee, I have a copy of ‘The Emerald Tablets’ on my bookshelf., and have read it many times over the last 20 years or so.

    There is a lot of push-pull going on with this reality now…Gosh, it’s weird!

  8. This was such an inspiring and beautiful interview. Thank you so much. A balm to the soul.
