In this episode of the podcast I am speaking with Dr Mervat Nasser. Amongst other things we talk about living and working as a Psychiatrist in London, becoming an Egyptologist. Hermetic Philosophy, the Philosophy of Hope and the Psychology of Becoming. We also talk about Thoth/Hermes, Maat, balance, proportion, harmony, Pantheism, becoming more of who we really are, and her work with the New Hermopolis.
Dr Mervat Nasser is a graduate of Cairo Medical School and fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, London. She holds a Master’s degree in Philosophy and a doctorate in psychiatry from London University. She also has two diplomas in moral philosophy and the history of medicine. She served as a clinical psychiatrist and university academic in England from 1977-2007. She has as well a long-standing interest in Egyptology.
Mervat has written several books in Arabic addressed to the young reader, including a 40-part illustrated series that won an award for best children writing in 1998. In addition, She has written a collection of psychological/ philosophical essays on ancient Egyptian thought entitled – “Why Did Horus Lose His Eye - A New Reading of Ancient Egyptian Thought” as well as several books on ancient Egypt and other civilisations. She took an early retirement from her job as a consultant psychiatrist and senior lecturer at Kings College London in 2007 and returned to Egypt to pursue her dream of establishing the project of New Hermopolis. She has since dedicated herself entirely to this cause.
