Title: Wisdom from Ptahhotep (taken from Initiation by Elizabeth Haich)

 By virtue of having been born into your body you have become a recognizable being. You have separated your consciousness from the great all and nothing—from God from your own true self. You have fallen out of the divine paradisiacal , original state—In which all possibilities of manifestation including all plants, all animals and man himself are still within the all-embracing unity-into the world of many forms and differentiations. You have become a manifestation, a created form. Consequenyly everything...here on the earthly plane is only the recognizable half of unity, made up of good and evil. And since your consciousness has been placed in your body, you have awakened in this body, that is, your consciousness has become identical with the body.

To eat of something is to become identical with it; For what you eat is what you will consist of, what you will be. Through identifying itself with your body your consciousness has-symbolically-eaten of the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and by the same token become subject to the kingdom of death.

 But now listen to the good news. Your body is the result of separation; it is only the visible half of your own true self. The other half has remained in the unmanifested unconscious part of your being. By uniting these two complementary halves with each other you can return to Divine unity. It is impossible to experience this unity physically, that is, to make your invisible unconscious visible and physical also, and unite the two halves together. For one consciousness cannot animate two bodies. To try to express unity in this way would mean death. By virtue of the very fact that the body has become visible and recognizable because it has separated itself from its complementary half, the reunion in this way would have to involve the death of the body. Nevertheless you still can experience, in the body, this divine reunion with your complementary half: In a state of consciousness! You can expand your consciousness until you make the unconscious part of you completely conscious, until you consciously experience the unmanifested, invisible half of yourself, and in this way achieve divine unity in your consciousness. in this way and she divine unity in your consciousness.  Even while your body remains in the visible  world of the created, you can merge your consciousness with your own true self, out of which you have fallen, thus forming the perfect unity. In this way, right here in this earthly existence, you can experience bliss—Experience God—be God.
