The House of Life

The House of Life was an ancient Egyptian concept representing the divine order and moral principle guiding human existence. It symbolized the eternal storehouse of knowledge, righteousness, and spiritual balance within each person, reflecting their relationships with gods, others, and themselves. The House of Life often referred to institutions like religious schools or libraries where sacred texts, wisdom, and teachings were preserved and studied, emphasizing the importance of maintaining spiritual and moral harmony throughout life and beyond. It underscored the belief that inner virtue and reverence for divine principles were essential for enduring harmony and eternal life.
