"Stolen Legacy" by Dr. George G.M. James
Know that salvation existed long before the Vatican in Rome, Italy shot off it first man made 'canon'.
At one point in history the ancient religion of Egypt enjoyed worldwide prominence. The expanse of its empire reached from the "Far East" to "Brittany" to "Northern Asia". Strangely, its basic principles did not reach the shores of Greece until after Alexander (the so-Called Great) reached Egypt. Soon after his rape and pillage--Greece sprang up as an pseudo-intellectual giant albeit a slew of cavalier changes here and there. Further, when the Roman Empire came into power, they took close notes while incorporating the ideals and concepts that Greece had "originally" plagiarized from Egypt.
Hence, conversely and contrary to conventional wisdom, Philosophy--namely, Religion is the birth child of Egypt with it's Priests and Hierophants as caregivers--not Greece!
i. Sensuert I claimed a great part of Europe in his conquests, about 1900/BCE.
ii. Akhenaton (i.e. Ikhnaton) claimed Western Asia, Syria and Palestine, about 1500/BCE.
iii. Tuthomosis III claimed Nubia to Northern Asia.

"Summum Bonomo" was the well-tuned student in the ancient theory of Egyptian salvation-- or more plainly "The Supreme Good in Man".
The attainment or transformation of man into a Godlike status (i.e. from that of a lower animal nature to that of a higher divine level) was accomplished via the following points of interest:
Wisdom
a. controlling your own thoughts
b. controlling your own actions
Fortitude
c. maintaining devotion of purpose
d. sustaining faith in the teacher to teach truth
e. sustaining faith in self to assimilate the truth
f. sustaining faith in self to wield the truth
Justice
g. remain free of resentment under persecution
h. remain free of resentment under wrong-doing
Temperament
i. cultivate/distinguish between right and wrong
j. cultivate/distinguish between the real & unreal
The process of purification involved "merging" the mind (i.e. study of philosophy: religion) "with" the body (i.e. use of esoteric principles) The baptism of water was followed by the baptism of fire. The entire process prepared the initiate to graduate into a harmony with GOD, Nature and Man.
In addition, it was the soul responsibility of the graduate to work out his own "salvation", with out a mediator.
This last point is important since it vastly differs from the Christian approach of "divine" intervention by a Romanized Christ.
The Egyptian knowledge of:
1. transmigration of the soul
2. the immortality of the soul
3. the body as the tomb of the soul
...inspired the process of embalming the body after death. A technique widely used in "current" times.
