The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life Volume 1 by Drunvalo Melchizedek comprises secret knowledge of pre-Egyptian yoga and sacred mathematics as delivered by Thoth, the ibis-headed Egyptian version of Hermes. According to legend, Thoth founded human culture, divulging language, writing, jurisprudence, government, and all systems of knowledge for civilization. Melchizedek claims to be a "walk-in", an extraterrestrial who came to earth during a near-death experience. According to the teachings, the ancient mystery schools were broken into "Right-eye," (left brain), and "Left-eye," (right brain) schools of Horus. Volume 1 comprises the ideas of the "Right-Eye of Horus," focusing on sacred geometry regarding the Golden mean and Fibonacci sequence as logical equivalents to God in the cosmos. After 12 years of serious study, an initiate would graduate to the "Left-eye of Horus," school, where intuition and relinquishing fear would lead one towards Buddha-hood.
