Self Esteem should not be confused with confidence. It is the result of; knowing yourself, challenging yourself and being true to yourself. Self Esteem forms the background of our day to day feelings and makes a vital difference to our energy levels.Nietzsche said; “One who despises himself still respects himself as one who despises.”
Egyptians had no concept of religion and indeed no such word exists in hieroglyphic language. The eminent philologist A.H. Gardiner wrote, ‘we may say that there is no such thing as “religion”; there was only Heka, the nearest English equivalent of which is “magical power”. The 'Magi's' (high priests) main concern, was 'the weighing of the heart'. In other words the effects of the actions of a person during their life on 'the record of their own heart'. A sample prayer from the Egyptian, 'Book of the Dead' reads-
“Heart of my mother, heart of my birth, heart of my life upon earth, rise not in witness against me; be not my adversary in the presence of the divine powers; weigh not against me.... Let it not be said, “Look at what he has done; of a truth he has done it”...”
