WORK DAYS OF GOD

Herbert W Morris D.D.circa 1883

"As all the words in the English language are composed out of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet,.."

 

 

LIGHT AND LIFE

Lars Olof Bjorn 1976

Page 197

"By writing the 26 letters of the alphabet in a certain order one may put down almost any message (this book 'is written with the same letters' as the Encyclopaedia Britannica and Winnie the Pooh, only the order of the letters differs). In the same way Nature is able to convey with her language how a cell and a whole organism is to be constructed and how it is to function. Nature has succeeded better than we humans; for the genetic code there is only one universal language which is the same in a man, a bean plant and a bacterium."

HISTORY OF GOD

Karen Armstrong

The God of the Mystics

Page 250

"(The Book of Creation). There is no attempt to describe the creative process realistically; the account is unashamedly symbolic and shows God creating the world by means of language as though he were writing a book. But language has been entirely transformed and the message of creation is no longer clear. Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet is given a numerical value; by combining the letters with the sacred numbers, rearranging them in endless configurations, the mystic weaned his mind away from the normal connotations of words."

FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS

A QUEST FOR THE BEGINNING AND THE END

Graham Hancock 1995

Chapter 32

Speaking to the Unborn

Page 285

"It is understandable that a huge range of myths from all over the ancient world should describe geological catastrophes in graphic detail. Mankind survived the horror of the last Ice Age, and the most plausible source for our enduring traditions of flooding and freezing, massive volcanism and devastating earthquakes is in the tumultuous upheavals unleashed during the great meltdown of 15,000 to 8000 BC. The final retreat of the ice sheets, and the consequent 300-400 foot rise in global sea levels, took place only a few thousand years before the beginning of the historical period. It is therefore not surprising that all our early civilizations should have retained vivid memories of the vast cataclysms that had terrified their forefathers.
Much harder to explain is the peculiar but distinctive way the myths of cataclysm seem to bear the intelligent imprint of a guiding hand.l Indeed the degree of convergence between such ancient stories is frequently remarkable enough to raise the suspicion that they must all have been 'written' by the same 'author'.
Could that author have had anything to do with the wondrous deity, or superhuman, spoken of in so many of the myths we have reviewed, who appears immediately after the world has been shattered by a horrifying geological catastrophe and brings comfort and the gifts of civilization to the shocked and demoralized survivors?
White and bearded, Osiris is the Egyptian manifestation of this / Page 286 / universal figure, and it may not be an accident that one of the first acts he is remembered for in myth is the abolition of cannibalism among the primitive inhabitants of the Nile Valley.2 Viracocha, in South America, was said to have begun his civilizing mission immediately after a great flood; Quetzalcoatl, the discoverer of maize, brought the benefits of crops, mathematics, astronomy and a refined culture to Mexico after the Fourth Sun had been overwhelmed by a destroying deluge.
Could these strange myths contain a record of encounters between scattered palaeolithic tribes which survived the last Ice Age and an as yet unidentified high civilization which passed through the same epoch?
And could the myths be attempts to communicate?

A message in the bottle of time"

'Of all the other stupendous inventions,' Galileo once remarked,

what sublimity of mind must have been his who conceived how to communicate his most secret thoughts to any other person, though very distant either in time or place, speaking with those who are in the Indies, speaking to those who are not yet born, nor shall be this thousand or ten thousand years? And with no greater difficulty than the various arrangements of two dozen little signs on paper? Let this be the seal of all the admirable inventions of men.3

If the 'precessional message' identified by scholars like Santillana, von Dechend and Jane Sellers is indeed a deliberate attempt at communication by some lost civilization of antiquity, how come it wasn't just written down and left for us to find? Wouldn't that have been easier than encoding it in myths? Perhaps.
Nevertheless, suppose that whatever the message was written on got destroyed or worn away after many thousands of years? Or suppose that the language in which it was inscribed was later forgotten utterly (like the enigmatic Indus Valley script, which has been studied closely for more than half a century but has so far resisted all attempts at decoding)? It must be obvious that in such circumstances a written / Page 287 / legacy to the future would be of no value at all, because nobody would be able to make sense of it.
What one would look for, therefore, would be a universal language, the kind of language that would be comprehensible to any technologically advanced society in any epoch, even a thousand or ten thousand years into the future. Such languages are few and far between, but mathematics is one of them - and the city of Teotihuacan may be the calling-card of a lost civilization written in the eternal language of mathematics.
Geodetic data, related to the exact positioning of fixed geographical points and to the shape and size of the earth, would also remain valid and recognizable for tens of thousands of years, and might be most conveniently expressed by means of cartography (or in the construction of giant geodetic monuments like the Great Pyramid of Egypt, as we shall see).
Another 'constant' in our solar system is the language of time: the great but regular intervals of time calibrated by the inch-worm creep of precessional motion. Now, or ten thousand years in the future, a message that prints out numbers like 72 or 2160 or 4320 or 25,920 should be instantly intelligible to any civilization that has evolved a modest talent for mathematics and the ability to detect and measure the almost imperceptible reverse wobble that the sun appears to make along the ecliptic against the background of the fixed stars..."

"What one would look for, therefore, would be a universal language, the kind of language that would be comprehensible to any technologically advanced society in any epoch, even a thousand or ten thousand years into the future. Such languages are few and far between, but mathematics is one of them"

"WRITTEN IN THE ETERNAL LANGUAGE OF MATHEMATICS"

THE SEARCH FOR THE SIGMA CODE

Cecil Balmond 1998

Cycles and Patterns

Page 165

Patterns

"The essence of mathematics is to look for patterns.

Our minds seem to be organised to search for relationships and sequences. We look for hidden orders.

These intuitions seem to be more important than the facts themselves, for there is always the thrill at finding something, a pattern, it is a discovery - what was unknown is now revealed. Imagine looking up at the stars and finding the zodiac!

Searching out patterns is a pure delight.

Suddenly the counters fall into place and a connection is found, not necessarily a geometric one, but a relationship between numbers, pictures of the mind, that were not obvious before. There is that excitement of finding order in something that was otherwise hidden.

And there is the knowledge that a huge unseen world lurks behind the facades we see of the numbers themselves."

HAMLET'S MILL

AN ESSAY INVESTIGATING THE ORIGINS OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

AND ITS TRANSMISSION THROUGH MYTH

Giorgio De Santillana and Hertha Von Dechend 1969

Intoduction

Page 1 (number omitted)

" The unbreakable fetters which bound down the Great Wolf Fenrir had been cunningly forged by Loki from these: the footfall of a cat, the roots of a rock, the beard of a woman, the breath of a fish, the spittle of a bird. The Edda

Toute vue des choses qui n'est pas estrange est fausse. VALERY


THIS IS meant to be only an essay. It is a first reconnaissance of a realm well-nigh unexplored and uncharted. From whichever way onc enters it, one is caught in the same bewildering circular complexity, as in a labyrinth, for it has no deductive order in the abstract sense, but instead resembles an organism tightly closed in itself, or even better, a monumental "Art of the Fugue."

The figure of Hamlet as a favorable starting point came by chance. Many other avenues offered themselves, rich in strange symbols and beckoning with great images, but the choice went to Hamlet because he led the mind on a truly inductive quest through a familiar landscape-and one which has the merit of its literary setting. Here is a character deeply present to our awareness, in whom ambiguities and uncertainties, tormented self-questioning and dispassionate insight give a presentiment of the modern mind. His personal drama was that he had to be a hero, but still try to avoid the role Destiny assigned him. His lucid intellect remained above the conflict of motives-in other words, his was and is a truly con­/ Page 2 / temporary consciousness. And yet this character whom the poet made one of us, the first unhappy intellectual, concealed a past as a legendary being, his features predetermined, preshaped by long­standing myth. There was a numinous aura around him, and many clues led up to him. But it was a surprise to find behind the mask an ancient and all-embracing cosmic power-the original master of the dreamed-of first age of the world.
Yet in all his guises he remained strangely himself. The original Amlodhi, * as his name was in Icelandic legend, shows the same characteristics of melancholy and high intellect. He, too, is a son dedicated to avenge his father, a speaker of cryptic but inescapable truths, an elusive carrier of Fate who must yield once his mission is accomplished and sink once more into concealment in the depths of time to which he belongs: Lord of the Golden Age, the Once and Future King.

This essay will follow the figure farther and farther afield, from the Northland to Rome, from there to Finland, Iran, and India; he will appear again unmistakably in Polynesian legend. Many other Dominations and Powers will materialize to frame him within the proper order.

Amlodhi was identified, in the crude and vivid imagery of the Norse, by the ownership of a fabled mill which, in his own time, ground out peace and plenty. Later, in decaying times, it ground out salt; and now finally, having landed at the bottom of the sea, it is grinding rock and sand, creating a vast whirlpool, the Maelstrom (i.e., the grinding stream, from the verb mala, "to grind"), which is supposed to be a way to the land of the dead. This imagery stands, as the evidence develops, for an astronomical process, the secular shifting of the sun through the signs of the zodiac which determines world-ages, each numbering thousands of years. Each age brings a World Era, a Twilight of the Gods. Great structures collapse; pillars topple which supported the great fabric; floods and cataclysms herald the shaping of a new world.
The image of the mill and its owner yielded elsewhere to more / Page 3 / sophisticated ones, more adherent to celestial events. In Plato's powerful mind, the figure stood out as the Craftsman God, the Demiurge, who shaped the heavens; but even Plato did not escape the idea he had inherited, of catastrophes and the periodic rebuilding of the world.

Tradition will show that the measures of a new world had to be procured from the depths of the celestial ocean and tuned with the measures from above, dictated by the "Seven Sages," as they are often cryptically mentioned in India and elsewhere. They turn out to be the Seven Stars of Ursa, which are normative in all cosmological alignments on the starry sphere. These dominant stars of the Far North are peculiarly but systematically linked with those which are considered the operative powers of the cosmos, that is, the planets as they move in different placements and configurations along the zodiac. The ancient Pythagoreans, in their conventional language, called the two Bears the Hands of Rhea (the Lady of Turning Heaven), and called the planets the Hounds of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. Far away to the south, the mysterious ship Argo with its Pilot star held the depths of the past; and the Galaxy was the Bridge out of Time. These notions appear to have been common doctrine in the age before history-all over the belt of high civilizations around our globe. They also seem to have been born of the great intellectual and technological revolution of the late Neolithic period.

The intensity and richness, the coincidence of details, in this cumulative thought have led to the conclusion that it all had its origin in the Near East. It is evident that this indicates a diffusion of ideas to an extent hardly countenanced by current anthropology. But this science, although it has dug up a marvelous wealth of details, has been led by its modern evolutionary and psychological bent to forget about the main source of myth, which was astronomy -the Royal Science. This obliviousness is itself a recent turn of events-barely a century old. Today expert philologists tell us that Saturn and Jupiter are names of vague deities, subterranean or atmospheric, superimposed on the planets at a "late" period; they neatly sort out folk origins and "late" derivations, all unaware that planetary periods, sidereal and synodic, were known and rehearsed / Page 4 / in numerous ways by celebrations already traditional in archaic times. If a scholar has never known those periods even from elementary science, he is not in the best position to recognize them when they come up in his material.

Ancient historians would have been aghast had they been told that obvious things were to become unnoticeable. Aristotle was proud to state it as known that the gods were originally stars, even if popular fantasy had later obscured this truth. Little as he believed in progress, he felt this much had been secured for the future. He could not guess that W. D. Ross, his modern editor, would condescendingly annotate: "This is historically untrue." Yet we know that Saturday and Sabbath had to do with Saturn, just as Wednesday and Mercredi had to do with Mercury. Such names are as old as time; as old, certainly, as the planetary heptagram of the Har­ranians. They go back far before Professor Ross' Greek philology. The inquiries of great and meticulous scholars such as Ideler, Lep­sius, Chwolson, BoIl and, to go farther back, of Athanasius Kircher and Petavius, had they only been read carefully, and noted, would have taught several relevant lessons to the historians of culture, but interest shifted to other goals, as can be seen from current anthro­pology, which has built up its own idea of the "primitive" and what came after.

One still reads in that most unscientific of records, the Bible, that God disposed all things by number, weight and measure; ancient Chinese texts say that "the calendar and the pitch pipes have such a close fit, that you could not slip a hair between them." People read it, and think nothing of it. Yet such hints might reveal a world of vast and firmly established complexity, infinitely different from ours. But the experts now are benighted by the current folk fantasy, which is the belief that they are beyond all this-critics without nonsense and extremely wise.

In 1959 I wrote:
The dust of centuries had settled upon the remains of this great world-wide archaic construction when the Greeks came upon the scene. Yet something of it survived in traditional rites, in myths and fairy tales no longer understood. Taken verbally, it matured the / Page 5 / bloody cults intended to procure fertility, based on the belief in a dark universal force of an ambivalent nature, which seems now to monopolize our interest. Yet its original themes could flash out again, preserved almost intact, in the later thought of the Pythagoreans and of Plato.

But they are tantalizing fragments of a lost whole. They make one think of those "mist landscapes" of which Chinese painters are masters, which show here a rock, here a gable, there the tip of a tree, and leave the rest to imagination. Even when the code shall have yielded, when the techniques shall be known, we cannot expect to gauge the thought of those remote ancestors of ours, wrapped as it is in its symbols.

Their words are no more heard again Through lapse of many ages. . .

We think we have now broken part of that code. The thought behind these constructions of the high and far-off times is also lofty, even if its forms are strange. The theory about "how the world began" seems to involve the breaking asunder of a harmony, a kind of cosmogonic "original sin" whereby the circle of the ecliptic (with the zodiac) was tilted up at an angle with respect to the equator, and the cycles of change came into being.

This is not to suggest that this archaic cosmology will show any great physical discoveries, although it required prodigious feats of concentration and computing. What it did was to mark out the unity of the universe, and of man's mind, reaching out to its farthest limits. Truly, man is doing the same today.

Einstein said: "What is inconceivable about the universe, is that it should be at all conceivable." Man is not giving up. When he discovers remote galaxies by the million, and then those quasi-stellar radio sources billions of light-years away which confound his speculation, he is happy that he can reach out to those depths. But he pays a terrible price for his achievement. The science of astro­physics reaches out on a grander and grander scale without losing its footing. Man as man cannot do this. In the depths of space he loses himself and all notion of his significance. He is unable to fit himself into the concepts of today's astrophysics short of schizophrenia. Modern man is facing the nonconceivable. Archaic man, however, kept a firm grip on the conceivable by framing within his cosmos / Page 6 / an order of time and an eschatology that made sense to him and reserved a fate for his soul. Yet it was a prodigiously vast theory, with no concessions to merely human sentiments. It, too, dilated the mind beyond the bearable, although without destroying man's role in the cosmos. It was a ruthless metaphysics.

Not a forgiving universe, not a world of mercy. That surely not. Inexorable as the stars in their courses, miserationis parcissimae, the Romans used to say. Yet it was a world somehow not unmindful of man, one in which there was an accepted place for everything, rightfully and not only statistically, where no sparrow could fall unnoted, and where even what was rejected through its own error would not go down to eternal perdition; for the order of Number and Time was a total order preserving all, of which all were members, gods and men and animals, trees and crystals and even absurd errant stars, all subject to law and measure.

This is what Plato knew, who could still speak the language of archaic myth. He made myth consonant with his thought, as he built the first modern philosophy. We have trusted his clues as landmarks even on occasions when he professes to speak "not quite seriously." He gave us a first rule of thumb; he knew what he was talking about.

Behind Plato there stands the imposing body of doctrine attributed to Pythagoras, some of its formulation uncouth, but rich with the prodigious content of early mathematics, pregnant with a sci­ence and a metaphysics that were to flower in Plato's time. From it come such words as "theorem," "theory," and "philosophy." This in its turn rests on what might be called a proto-Pythagorean phase, spread all over the East but with a focus in Susa. And then there was something else again, the stark numerical computing of Baby­Ion. From it all came that strange principle: "Things are numbers."

Once having grasped a thread going back in time, then the test of later doctrines with their own historical developments lies in their congruence with tradition preserved intact even if half under­stood. For there are seeds which propagate themselves along the jetstream of time.

Page 7

And universality is in itself a test when coupled with a firm design. When something found, say, in China turns up also in Babyionian astrological texts, then it must be assumed to be relevant, for it reveals a complex of uncommon images which nobody could claim had risen independently by spontaneous generation.

Take the origin of music. Orpheus and his harrowing death may be a poetic creation born in more than one instance in diverse places. But when characters who do not play the lyre but blow pipes get themselves flayed alive for various absurd reasons, and their identical end is rehearsed on several continents, then we feel we have got hold of something, for such stories cannot be linked by internal sequence. And when the Pied Piper turns up both in the medieval German myth of Hamelin and in Mexico long before Columbus, and is linked in both places with certain attributes like the color red, it can hardly be a coincidence. Generally, there is little that finds its way into music by chance.

Again, when one finds numbers like 108, or 9 x 13, reappearing under several multiples in the Vedas, in the temples of Angkor, in Babylon, in Heraclitus' dark utterances, and also in the Norse Valhalla, it is not accident.

There is one way of checking signals thus scattered in early data, in lore, fables and sacred texts. What we have used for sources may seem strange and disparate, but the sifting was considered, and it had its reasons. Those reasons will be given later in the chapter on method. I might call it comparative morphology. The reservoir of myth and fable is great, but there are morphological "markers" for what is not mere storytelling of the kind that comes naturally. There is also wonderfully preserved archaic material in "secondary" primitives, like American Indians and West Africans. Then there are courtly stories and annals of dynasties which look like novels: the Feng Shen Yen I, the Japanese Nihongi, the Hawaiian Kumulipo. These are not merely fantasy-ridden fables.

In hard and perilous ages, what information should a well-born man entrust to his eldest son? Lines of descent surely, but what else? The memory of an ancient nobility is the means of preserving the / Page 8 / arcana imperii, the arcana legis and the arcana mundi, just as it was in ancient Rome. This is the wisdom of a ruling class. The Polynesian chants taught in the severely restricted Whare-wananga were mostly astronomy. That is what a liberal education meant then.

Sacred texts are another great source. In our age of print one is tempted to dismiss these as religious excursions into homiletics, but originally they represented a great concentration of attention on material which had been distilled for relevancy through a long period of time and which was considered worthy of being committed to memory generation after generation. The tradition of Celtic Druidism was delivered not only in songs, but also in tree-lore which was much like a code. And in the East, out of complicated games based on astronomy, there developed a kind of shorthand which became the alphabet.

As we follow the clues-stars, numbers, colors, plants, forms, verse, music, structres-a huge framework of connections is re­vealed at many levels. One is inside an echoing manifold where everything responds and everything has a place and a time assigned to it. This is a true edifice, something like a mathematical matrix, a World-Image that fits the many levels, and all of it kept in order by strict measure. It is measure that provides the countercheck, for there is much that can be identified and redisposed from rules like the old Chinese saying about the pitch pipes and the calendar. When we speak of measures, it is always some form of Time that provides them, starting from two basic ones, the solar year and the octave, and going down from there in many periods and intervals, to actual weights and sizes. What modern man attempted in the merely conventional metric system has archaic precedents of great complexity. Down the centuries there comes an echo of Al-Biruni's wondering a thousand years ago, when that prince of scientists discovered that the Indians, by then miserable astronomers, calculated aspects and events by means of stars-and were not able to show him anyone star that he asked for. Stars had become items for them, as they were to become again for Leverrier and Adams, who never troubled to look at Neptune in their life although they had computed and discovered it in 1847. The Mayas and the Aztecs in their / Page 9 / unending calculations seem to have had similar attitudes. The connections were what counted. Ultimately so it was in the archaic universe, where all things were signs and signatures of each other, inscribed in the hologram, to be divined subtly. And Number dominated them all (appendix # I ).

This ancient world moves a little closer if one recalls two great transitional figures who were simultaneously archaic and modern in their habits of thought. The first is Johannes Kepler, who was of the old order in his unremitting calculations and his passionate devotion to the dream of rediscovering the "Harmony of the Spheres." But he was a man of his own time, and also of ours, when this dream began to prefigure the polyphony that led up to Bach. In somewhat the same way, our strictly scientific world view has its counterpart in what John Hollander, the historian of music, has described as "The Untuning of the Sky." The second transitional figure is no less a man than Sir Isaac Newton, the very inceptor of the rigorously scientific view. There is no real paradox in mentioning Newton in this connection. John Maynard Keynes, who knew Newton as well as many of our time, said of him:

Newton was not the first of the Age of Reason. He was the last of the magicians, the last of the Babylonians and Sumerians, the last great mind which looked out on the visible and intellectual world with the same eyes as those who began to build our intellectual world rather less than 10,000 years ago. . . Why do I call him a magician? Because he looked on the whole universe and all that is in it as a riddle, as a secret which could be read by applying pure thought to certain evidence, certain mystic clues which God had laid about the world to allow a sort of philosopher's treasure hunt to the esoteric brother­hood. He believed that these clues were to be found partly in the evidence of the heavens and in the constitution of elements (and that is what gives the false suggestion of his being an experimental natural philosopher), but also partly in certain papers and traditions handed down by the brethren in an unbroken chain back to the original cryptic revelation in Babylonia. He regarded the universe as a cryptogram set by the Almighty-just as he himself wrapt the discovery of the calculus in a cryptogram when he communicated with Leibniz. By pure thought, by concentration of mind, the riddle, he believed, would be revealed to the initiate.1

Page 10

Lord Keynes' appraisal, written ca. 1942, remains both unconventional and profound. He knew, we all know, that Newton failed. Newton was led astray by his dour sectarian preconceptions. But his undertaking was truly in the archaic spirit, as it begins to appear now after two centuries of scholarly search into many cul­tures of which he could have had no idea. To the few clues he found with rigorous method, a vast number have been added. Still, the wonder remains, the same that was expressed by his great predecessor Galileo:

But of all other stupendous inventions, what sublimity of mind must have been his who conccived how to communicate his most secret thoughts to any othcr person, though very far distant either in time or place, speaking with those who are in the In dies, speaking to those who are not yet born, nor shall be this thousand or ten thousand years) And with no greater difficulty than the various arrangement of two dozcn little signs upon paper? Let this be the seal of all the admirable inventions of man.

'Way back in the 6th century A.D., Gregoire de Tours was writing: "The mind has lost its cutting edge, we hardly understand the Ancicnts." So much more today, despite our wallowing in mathematics for the million and in sophisticated technology.
It is undeniable that, notwithstanding our Classics Departments' labors, the wilting away of classical studies, the abandonment of any living familiarity with Greek and Latin has cut the ompha­loessa, the umbilical cord which connected our cultUre-at least at its top level-with Greece, in the same manner in which men of the Pythagorean and Orphic tradition were tied up through Plato and a few others with the most ancient Near East. It is beginning to appear that this destruction is leading into a very up-to-date Middle Ages, much worse than the first. People will sneer: "Stop the World, I want to get off." It cannot be changed, however; this is the way it goes when someone or other tampers with the reserved knowledge that science is, and was meant to represent.
But, as Goethe said at the very onset of the Progressive Age, "Noch ist es Tag, da ruhre sich der Mann! Die Nacht tritt ein, wo niemand wirken kann." ("It is still day, let men get up and / Page 11 / going-the night creeps in, when there is nothing doing.") There might come once more some kind of "Renaissance" out of the hopelessly condemned and trampled past, when certain ideas come to life again, and we should not deprive our grandchildren of a last chance at the heritage of the highest and farthest-off times. And if, as looks infinitely probable, even that last chance is passed up in the turmoil of progress, why then one can still think with Poliziano, who was himself a master humanist, that there will be men whose minds find a refuge in poetry and art and the holy tradition "which alone make men free from death and turn them to eternity, so long as the stars will go on, still shining over a world made for­ever silent." Right now, there is still left some daylight in which to undertake this first quick reconnaissance. It will necessarily leave out great and significant areas of material, but even so, it will in­vestigate many unexpected byways and crannies of the past."

HAMLET'S MILL

AN ESSAY INVESTIGATING THE ORIGINS OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

AND ITS TRANSMISSION THROUGH MYTH

Giorgio De Santillana and Hertha Von Dechend 1969

Page 162

"Finally, there is one remarkable and disturbing coincidence from the same direction. It is known that in the final battle of the gods, the massed legions on the side of "order" are the dead warriors, the "Einherier" who once fell in combat on earth and who have been transferred by the Valkyries to reside with Odin in Valhalla-a theme much rehearsed in heroic poetry. On the last day, they issue forth to battle in martial array. Says the Grimnismal (23): "Five hundred gates and forty more-are in the mighty building of Wal­halla-eight hundred 'Einherier' come out of each one gate-on the time they go out on defence against the Wolf."
That makes 432,000 in all, a number of significance from of old.
This number must have had a very ancient meaning, for it is also the number of syllables in the Rigveda. But it goes back to the basic figure 10,800, the number of stanzas in the Rigveda (40 syllables to a stanza) which, together with 108, occurs insistently in Indian tradition. 10,800 is also the number which has been given by Heraclitus for the duration of the Aion, according to Censorinus (De die natali 18), whereas Berossos made the Babylonian Great Year to last 432,000 years. Again, 10,800 is the number of bricks of the Indian fire-altar (Agnicayana). 32
"To quibble away such a coincidence," remarks Schroder, "or to ascribe it to chance, is in my opinion to drive skepticism beyond its limits."33 Shall one add Angkor to the list? It has five gates, and to each of them leads a road, bridging over that water ditch which surrounds the whole place. Each of these roads is bordered by a row of huge stone figures, 108 per avenue, 54 on each side, altogether 540 statues of Deva and Asura, and each row carries a huge Naga / Page 163 / serpent with nine heads. Only, they do not "carry" that serpent, they are shown to "pull" it, which indicates that these 540 statues are churning the Milky Ocean, represented (poorly, indeed) by the water ditch,34 using Mount Mandara as a churning staff, and Vasuki, the prince of the Nagas, as their drilling rope. (Just to prevent misunderstanding: Vasuki had been asked before, and had agreeably consented, and so had Vishnu's tortoise avatar, who was going to serve as the fixed base for that "incomparably mighty churn," and even the Milky Ocean itself had made it clear that it was willing to be churned.) The whole of Angkor thus turns out to be a colossal model set up for "alternative motion" with true Hindu fantasy and incongruousness to counter the idea of a continuous one-way Precession from west to east."

 

 

CITY OF REVELATION

John Michell 1972

CHAPTER SEVEN

3168, The Perimeter of the Temple

"If the numbers of the sacred principles, mentioned by St John in connection with the New Jerusalem, are obtained from the Greek text by the cabalistic method of gematria, it is found that they correspond to the dimensions of the city, set out in Fig 16. (Figure omitted) For example, the perimeter of a hexagon contained within the circle representing the earth, 7920 feet in diameter, measures 2376 feet, and 2376 is the number of (Greek text omitted), the twelve apostles of the Lamb (Revelation 21.14). 2376 x 2 feet is equal to 1746 MY, and 1745 = (Greek text omitted), the twelve apostles. The names of the apostles are said to be in the twelve foundations of the wall of the city. The wall is the circle of diameter 7920 feet and 14,400 cubits in circumference, and the foundations are the twelve corners of the double hexagon inscribed within it, fonowing the customary pattern of an astrological chart. The position of the twelve apostles in the scheme is thus clearly defined.
Of all the canonical numbers the most notable is 3168. The New Jerusalem measures 48,000 furlongs or 31,680,000 feet round the perimeter of its four sides; the mean perimeter of the Stonehenge sarsen circle is 316.8 feet; the perimeter of the square 12 hides of Glastonbury is 31,680 feet; the significance of 31,680 in the canon of cosmology is illustrated in Fig.11, and we shall also find this number set round the border of Plato's mystical city, described in Laws.
Obviously the number 3168 had an important symbolic meaning, the Christian interpretation of which is provided in New Testament
gematria. The most sacred name of Christianity is (Greek text omitted);
(Greek text omitted), Lord Jesus Christ, and the number of these three words together is 3168. (Greek text omitted) is an astrological term meaning the ruler or dominant influence.
Another sacred phrase from the New Testament, (Greek text omitted) the Power of Christ (2 Corinthians 12.9) has the value 3168 if the alternative spelling of Christos, (Greek text omitted) is adopted.

Page 78

The perimeter of the temple is 3168, Lord Jesus Christ, when the temple is measured by the foot, the most sacred unit of ancient metrology. In terms of the megalithic yard (2.72 feet), however, the perimeter measures 1164, because 3168 feet = 1164 MY. Yet this makes no difference to the symbolic interpretation by gematria, for 1164 is the number of another name of Christ, (Greek text omitted) Son of God.

As a geodetic or earth-measuring number, 3168 also demonstrates the antiquity and sacred origin of British metrology, for
31,680 inches = half a mile

31,680 ft. = 6 miles.

31,680 furlongs = 3960 miles = radius of the earth.

31,680 miles = perimeter of square containing the terrestrial sphere.

31,680 miles = circumference of circle drawn on the combined diameters of the earth and moon (10,080 miles)

Other cosmological correspondences of 3168 are given on page 109.

The Stonehenge sarsen circle with circumference of 316.8 feet
contains an area of 888 square yards, 888 being the number of Jesus, which is equal to 1080 square MY. The circle contained within a square of perimeter 316.8 feet, corresponding to the bluestone circle at Stonehenge, has an area of 666 square MY. Thus the two stone circles at Stonehenge have areas of 1080 and 666 square MY, these two numbers representing the opposite poles of lunar and solar or negative and positive energy.
The number 144 or 122 is characteristic of the New Jerusalem scheme, and 3168 demonstrates the value of (pi symbol 22/7 omitted) in terms of this number, for 144 x 7 = 1008 and 144 x 22 = 3168.

3168 in Plato's city
A remarkable use of the number 3168 occurs in Plato's account in Book V of.Laws of the mystical dimensions of the perfect city. Throughout his work Plato makes guarded reference to a secret canon of numbers that applies universally to every aspect of human life and activity, including government, astronomy, acoustics, kinetics, plane and solid geometry and divination. Linear measurements, areas and volumes are obviously incommensurable, but Plato declares that there are certain numbers that link these with each other and with all phenomena capable of being measured. As an example of these numbers, the study of which Plato recommends as the most sanctifying of all pursuits, he gives 5040. This is the ideal number of citizens in the state and serves other purposes in con­/ Page 79 / nection with the framing of laws and standards. The reason why it is most suitable for all matters of division is that for its size it has the greatest number of divisors, 60 in all, including the entire decad, the numbers 1 - 10. Another property of the number 5040 is that it is the radius of a circle with circumference 31,680. Further examina­tion of the numerical foundations of Plato's state shows that the scheme to which he refers is the ancient plan of the cosmic temple.
The lawgivers in Plato's state are reminded that the perfect human society would be one in which all possessions, wives, children, land and chattels were held in common, where all the citizens were of one mind and acted together so harmoniously that it were as if eyes, ears and hands were also common property. To keep this ideal alive is the function of the prophet. Human nature and conditioning, however, demand a more practical alternative, 'very near to the first in immortality and second to it in merit'. This is provided in Laws V.
Plato's state is arranged in a manner that can scarcely be under­stood literally, and is obviously intended, like the New Jerusalem, as a geometer's allegory. The land is all divided into twelve parts, each dedicated to one of the twelve gods and populated by one of the twelve tribes of the 5040 households. The city is similarly divided, forming a microcosm of the state as a whole. In the centre of the city is the acropolis and 'from this centre he must divide up the city itself and the whole country into twelve parts. The twelve parts must be equalised by making those of good land small and those of inferior land greater. He must mark off 5040 allotments, and each of these he must cut in two and join two pieces to form the allotments, so that each contains a near piece and a distant piece - joining the piece next to the city with the piece furthest off, the second nearest with the second furthest, and so on with the rest.'
The only way in which this division can be represented is by a circle of radius 5040, a hundred times larger than that of Stonehenge measured in feet; the perimeter of this circle is 31 ,680. In Fig. 24 (Figure 24 omitted) the radius of the circle should be divided equally into 5040 parts to produce 5040 concentric circles. These are bisected into 10,080 semi­circles by the diameter and positioned out in Plato's manner into 5040 double allotments, each of equal area.
In this scheme 31,680 is not only the circumference of the circular state, but also the area of each of its 2520 pairs of rings, proving Plato's assertion that linear and area pleasurements can be made / Page 80 / (Figure 24 omitted) commensurable by number. The entire circle is divided into two halves, each containing 39,916,800 square units of land. These numbers, which are inherent in the New Jerusalem scheme, have the following significance:
31,680 is divisible by all the numbers1-12 with the exception of 7

5040 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7

39,916,800 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5x 6 x 7 x 8 x 9 x.10 x 11

5040, the radius of the circular city, is the product of the numbers1 - 7; 7920, the side of the square city, is the product of numbers 8 - 11. In each case the perimeter of the city is 31,680. In Plato's Republic is the famous, cryptic reference to the 'marriage number', which should be consulted by the guardians of the state in all matters relating to the seasonal union of male and female. There appear to be two numbers involved, adding up to a third, but the riddle is so obscure that no firm solution has been reached despite the vast literature on the subject. For various reasons the number 12,960,000 or 36002 is most commonly proposed, and this would seem appropriate, for 12,960 = 5040 + 7920. 12,960 therefore represents the union of square and circle, symbol of the sacred marriage, and the gematria is also appropriate, for 1296 = (Greek text omitted) Mary mother of Jesus.

Nature Boy

Nat King Cole

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"the greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

"the greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

www.geocities.com review.

2Do you believe in coincidence ? Maybe things happen for a reason"

"The heart of the movie doesn't necessarily lie in what is behind the crop circles, it's something more enriching. It isn't a story that follows a formula, it doesn't take advantage of the audience by giving them gore or visual distractions. Because what Shyamalan chooses to do is draw on the one thing that can be in your corner when making a film like this.  Audience anticipation, and imagination. The less you show the better. I think we've become so conditioned by formulated movies that something like this catches us off guard. It is not meant to be like "Independence Day"..thank god. "Signs"  has a lot of symbolism.  It's a very intelligent story, the sub-plot is merely the sci-fi element to which the story expands around."

"Are we alone out there? Well, maybe we aren't ever really alone."

"Scientist cultivate date palm from 2,000 year old seed"

Donald Macintyre

"The fortress of Masada on the Dead Sea, where archaeologists unearthed ancient seeds."

"The plant which has grown to almost 12" came from a seed found during excavations at the ancient desert fortress of Masada where 960 Jewish zealots committed suicide rather than surrender to the Romans AD 73.

"We think that ancient medicines from the past can be the medicines of the future."

"The entire way of life in ancient Egypt depended on the River Nile which flows through Egypt from South to North."

"BLACK LAND and RED LAND"

"The Egyptians called their country

'KEMET'

which meant

'BLACK LAND'

This was the narrow strip of fertile river bank along the nile. Beyond that was 'Red Land' or Deshret'

(from which we get our word desert)

LIVING BY THE NILE

"Those who see the Nile when it surges tremble the meadows laugh and the river's bank are flooded. The gods offerings descend. the faces of the people are bright and the hearts of the gods rejoice!"

Spell 581 from the

REACH FOR TOMORROW

Arthurc C. Clarke 1956

Introduction

"Unlike authors of so-called mainstream fiction, the. writer of science fiction has the responsibility (often an embarrassing one) of confronting his readers every decade or so, to report on how his ideas have stood the test of time. This, of course, is one excellent reason for setting stories in the very distant future. Then there's no need to explain - or to apologize.
In the case of this volume, much of which was conceived, if not written, almost half a century ago, I'm happy to find relatively few embarrassments. However, I have made some interesting discoveries; for instance, on the very first page of the very first story, I see the number 9000. I've no idea why I selected it again for HAL's serial number, twenty years later. . .

THE NINE BILLION NAMES OF GOD

Page 15 (Number omitted)

This is a slightly unusual request,' said Dr Wagner, with what he hoped was commendable restraint. 'As far as 1 know, it's the first time anyone's been asked to supply a Tibetan monasterf with an Automatic Sequence Computer. 1 don't wish to be inquisitive, but 1 should hardly have thought that your - ah - establishment had much use for such a machine. Could you explain just what you intend to do with it?'
'Gladly,' replied the lama, readjusting his silk robes and carefully putting away the slide rule he had been using for currency conversions. 'Your Mark V Computer can carry out.any routine mathematical operation involving up to ten digits. However, for our work we are interested in letters, not numbers. As we wish you to modify the output circuits, the machine will be printing words, not columns of figures.'
'I don't quite understand...'
'This is a project on which we have been working for the last three centuries - since the lamasery was founded, in fact. It is somewhat alien to your way of thought, so 1 hope you will listen with an open mind while 1 explain it
'Naturally:
'It is really quite simple. We have been compiling a list which shall contain all the possible names of God
'I beg your pardon?'

Page 16

'We have reason to believe/ continued the lama imper­turbably, 'that all such names can be written with not more than nine letters in an alphabet we have devised.'
'And you have been doing this for three"centuries?'
'Yes: we expected it would take us about fifteen thousand years to complete the task.'
'Oh,' Dr Wagner looked a little dazed. 'Now I see why you wanted to hire one of our machines. But what exactly is the purpose of this project?'
The lama hesitated for a fraction of a second, and Wagner wondered if he had offended him. If so, there was no trace of annoyance in the reply.
'Call it ritual, if you like, but it's a fundamental part of our belief. All the many names of the Supreme Being - God,
Jehova, Allah: and so on - they are only man-made labels. There is a philosophical problem of some difficulty here, which I do not propose to discuss, but somewhere among all the possible combinations of letters that can occur are what one may call the real names of God? By systematic per­mutation of letters, we have been trying to list them all.'
'I see. You've been starting at AAAAAAA . . . and work­ing up to ZZZZZZZZ . . .'

"Again humanity looked outward, toward the stars, and the deep philosophical questions raised by the first Rama were again debated by the populace on Earth. As the new visitor drew nearer and its physical characteristics were more carefully resolved by the host of sensors aimed in its direction, it was confirmed that this alien spacecraft, at least from the outside, was identical to its predecessor. Rama had returned. Mankind had a second appointment with destiny."

THE THUNDERBOLT

Page

"There is our friend, there is Hans Castorp! We recognize him at a distance, by the little beard he assumed 'while sitting at the " bad" Russian table. Like all the others, he is wet through and glowing. He is running, his feet heavy with mould, the bayonet swinging in his, hand. Look! He treads on the hand of a fallen .comrade; with his hobnailed boot he treads the hand deep into the slirny, branch-strewn ground. But it is he. What, singing? As one sings, unaware, staring stark ahead, yes, thus. he spends his hurrying breath, to sing half soundlessly:

" And loving words I've carven
Upon its branches fair-"

He stumbles, No, he has flung himself down, a hell-hound is coming howling, a huge explosive shell, a disgusting sugar-loaf from the infernal regions. . He lies with his face in the cool mire, legs. sprawled out, feet twisted, heels turned down. The product of a perverted science, laden with death, slopes earthward thirty paces in front of him and buries its nose in the ground; explodes inside there,. with hideous expense of power, and raises up a fountain high as a house, of mud, fire, iron, molten metal~ scattered fragments of humanity. Where it fell, two youths had lain, friends who in their need flung themselves down together - now they are scattered, commingled and gone.
Shame of our shadow-safety! Away! No more!-But our friend? Was he hit? He thought so, for the moment. A great clod of earth struck him on the shin, it hurt, but he smiles at it. Up he gets, and staggers on, limping on his earth-bound feet, all unconsciously singing:


"Its waving branches whiispered
A message in my ear - "

and thus, in the tumult, in the rain, in the dusk, vanishes out of our sight.
Farewell, honest Hans Castorp, farewell, Life's delicate child!
Your tale is told. We have told it to the end, and it was neither short nor long, but hermetic. We have told it for its own sake, not for yours, for you were simple. But after all, it was your story, it befell you, you must have more in you than we thought; we will not disclaim the pedagogic weakness we conceived for / Page 716 / you in the telling; which could even lead us to press a finger delicately to our eyes at the thought that we shall see you no more, hear you no more for ever.
Farewell - and if thou livest or diest! Thy prospects are poor. The desperate dance, in. which thy fortunes are caught up, will last yet many a sinful year; we should not care to set a high stake on thy life by the time it ends. We even confess that it is without great concern we leave the question open. Adventures of the flesh and in the spirit, while enhancing thy simplicity, granted thee to know in the spirit what in the flesh thou scarcely couldst have done. Moments there were, when out of death, and the rebellion of the flesh, there came to thee, as thou tookest stock of thyself, a dream of love. Out of this universal feast of death, out of this extremity of fever, kindling. the rain-washed evening sky to a fiery glow, may it be that Love one day shall mount?

THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN

Thomas Mann 1875 1955

Page 496

"There is both rhyme and reason in what I say, I have made a dream poem of humanity. I will cling to it. I will be good. I will let death have no mastery over my thoughts. For therein lies goodness and love of humankind, and in nothing else.” 

Page 496 / 497

"Love stands opposed to death. It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death . Only love, not reason, gives sweet thoughts. And from love and sweetness alone can form come: form and civilization, friendly and enlightened , beautiful human intercourse-always in silent recognition of the blood - sacrifice. Ah, yes, it is it is well and truly dreamed. I have taken stock I will keep faith with death in my heart, yet well remember that faith with death and the dead is evil, is hostile to mankind, so soon as we give it power over thought and action.For the sake of goodness and  love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts. - And with this - I awake. For I have dreamed it out to the end , I have come to my goal."

 

After a short meeting with their good and trusted friend Thomas. Alizzed and the scribe  thanked him most genuinely for the benefit of his wisdom, in the matter of their quest. said their good byes, wished  the other well, a not unusual seven times, and of course, promised, not to leave it quite so  long in the future.

The Prophecy of Monte Libyco
THE CORPUS HERMETICUM

Page 17
"Although we have reserved a full chapter for the Hermetic writings and their influence on modern esoteric thinking, a brief treatment on the problems they have raised is, I think, necessary at this stage.
There is much debate amongst academics on the actual origins and age of the Hermetic writings and thus, by extension, the Hermetic prophecy related to Giza or Monte Libyco. Most scholars agree that the Hermetic texts (also known as the Corpus Hermeticum or Hermetica, for short) were finally written down in their present form by unknown 'Hellenised' Egyptians or, as the case may be, 'Egyptianised' Hellens (Greeks) in the ancient city of Alexandria sometime between the last century BC and the second century AD. There are two groups of texts, one known as the 'philosophical' texts and the other known as the 'technical' or 'alchemical' texts.l? It is the 'philosophical' texts which concern us most in our investigation. Most were written in Greek but some, probably older texts, are in the ancient Egyptian Coptic language. These were found in 1945 at Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt.IS
The Hermetica contains some twenty-one books; there are eighteen so-called Libelli that form part of the main corpus, as well as three so-called Latin Asclepius. There is also a collection of short 'excerpts' and 'fragments' which are generally considered part of the Hermetica.19 It is not clear how many authors contributed to the Hermetica, as all the books are ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus (Hermes the Thrice Great). Hermes, as we have seen, was equated by the Greeks with the Egyptian wisdom god Thoth (Tehuti in Egyptian). It is important to realise, however, that in the Hellenistic world (and later in Renaissance Europe), Hermes Trismegistus was not quite the same figure as his Egyptian prototype, whom we shall discuss in greater detail shortly. Hermes Trismegistus, in actual fact, is an Egyptian Hermes, a syncretism or coalition, as it were, between Thoth and the Greek Hermes but also with a pedigree not unlike the biblical Enoch or the Arabian Idris, a legendary figure recording the wisdom and knowledge of the pre-Flood era and preserving it for the benefit and future of mankind. As for his epithet 'The Thrice Great', it probably does come, however, from the ancient Egyptians who, as early as the third century BC, often referred to Thoth as 'Great-Great', 'Very Great' or 'Thrice Great,.20 The motive for attributing their works to this semi-divine, mythical character, according to the scholar Walter Scott, 'must have been similar to that which made a Jew write a Book of Daniel, or a Book of Enoch, instead of a book of his own,21 In those times there was a tendency, says Scott, 'to lean on the / Page 18 / support of authority and tradition'; the god Thoth of the Egyptians had, for thousands of years before, been attributed divine knowledge and wisdom from the gods which he then imparted to humans in his famous 'Books'. According to ancient Egyptian tradition, there were some forty- two books belonging to Thoth. In his study of the Egyptian gods, Egyptologist George Hart provides a series of titles for Thoth that defines the paramount role of this god as the protector of 'Truth' and as the emissary of the sacred wisdom of the gods.22 These titles or epithets are 'mightiest of the gods'; 'lord of the sacred words'; 'Thoth the Great, the Great, the Great', i.e. Hermes- Thoth the Thrice Great. Thoth, writes Hart, as the 'lord of the sacred words',

gave to the Egyptians the knowledge of how to write by picture symbols, hence hieroglyphs could always possess a magical force. Scribes regarded themselves as 'followers of Thoth'. Thoth represented to the Egyptians the embodiment of all / Page 19 / scientific and literary attainments, being in command of all 'the sacred books in the House of Life'. The 'House of Life' (Per Ankh) was a revered resource centre accessible only to scribes, containing a wealth of knowledge. . . all under the protection of Thoth . . .23
   

This 'knowledge' and 'wisdom', Hart says, was deemed too secret for profane eyes, and was only accessible to a few initiates. Indeed, a knowledge that was so powerful was harboured in the sanctuary-library or House of Life of Thoth and, according to one ancient papyrus dated to the Pyramid Age, it was 'not even possessed by the pharaoh himself' .24 Lucie Lamie, the daughter of the famous Egyptologist and symbolist R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, gave a vivid description of this mysterious 'House of Life' allocated to Thoth and his wisdom-books:
Is the 'House of the Seat of Life' mentioned on one of the vases of the First Dynasty Serpent King, the prototype of the 'House of Life', the 'University' of the late dynastic period? It was in the 'House of Life' that the young scribes learned the meaning of the hieroglyphs, mathematics, geometry, astronomy,
medicine and all that concerned the ritual and maintenance of the temples - in short everything necessary for life on earth and in the other world. The stone vases of the first two dynasties, heaped in the galleries under the stepped pyramid of Zoser, along with ivory tablets and clay seals, reveal an elaborate system of administration. Writing was by this time completely constituted. This implies a long previous development; yet this development, as well as the origins of the written language, remains mysterious.25
Author and historian Peter Tompkins offers some tantalising glimpses on what the 'mysterious' quality of the hieroglyphs might be in the foreword he wrote to John Anthony West's book Serpent in the Sky:
(Schwaller) de Lubicz was well versed in Hermetic wisdom. . . [and] soon found the same wisdom built into the glyphs, statues and temples of Egypt. By interpreting the ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs as symbolic carriers or a Hermetic message, de Lubicz discovered in Egypt the earliest known source of Sacred Science which forms the basis of what has become known as the Perennial Philosophy, fragments of which have been kept alive among Gnostics, Sufis, Cabalists, Rosicrucians, and Masons, but primarily by a series of enlightened and clairvoyant masters!6
It is very clear, therefore, that by attributing the Hermetic writings to Hermes the Thrice Great, i.e. Thoth, the ancient writers - or more likely the compilers - of these texts grafted upon them the highest possible pedigree: that of being directly linked to the divine and supreme wisdom / Page 20 / and 'Word' of God. Now for a long time the Hermetic writings were lost to history. From about the fourth century AD till the late fifteenth century AD little was heard of them in Western Europe, and they were assumed lost for ever .27 However in 1460, by one of those propitious and strange synchronicities of history, an almost intact copy of the full Hermetica was found and delivered to Cosimo di Medici, the Doge of Florence and 'Father of the Italian Renaissance'.28 The first of the Libelli, known under the mysterious title of Poimandres, was soon translated by Cosimo's protege, the scholar and linguist Marsilio Ficino. So powerful was the effect of the Hermetica on the scholars of that epoch that many modern students of the Renaissance, notably the late Dame Frances Yates of the Warburg Institute, became convinced that these texts, with the philosophy and 'magic' that they extolled, gave a new impetus to the Renaissance whose reverberations were still strongly felt in the Enlightenment of the seventeenth century,29

By the late fifteenth century Hermes Trismegistus's popularity as a teacher of divine wisdom30 was, among the intellectuals, the merchants, the bankers and even the clergy, beginning to rival that of Jesus. Indeed, were it not for fear of persecution by the Papal Inquisition, some scholars have conjectured that the Hermetica's fame would have surpassed that of the New Testament..31 The authority and driving force that buttressed the Hermetica was that divine revelations, akin to those received by Moses on Mount Sinai, had been handed to Ht:rmes Trismegistus. Cyril of Alexandria quotes a fine example to illustrate this approach from a Hermetic text that he says was written in Athens. In it the author presents 'our Hermes as seen through the eyes of an Egyptian priest'. In this tract the anonymous Athenian Hermetist depicts Hermes in the same unmistakably Egyptian terms as those in which Artapanus had
envisaged Moses (Cyril of Alexandria - Contra Julianum i548ac). So
convinced were the Renaissance scholars of this that some went as far as to petition the Pope that the Hermetica should be canonised and be made part of the Christian teachings of the Church. One such erudite scholar was Francyois Foix de Candalle, better known as Flussas. .In 1574 he published a Latin version of the Poimandres and dedicated it to the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II. In his dedication Flussas wrote that 'Hermes Trismegistus attained to a knowledge of divine things surpassing that which was revealed to the Hebrew Prophets, and equalling that of the Apostles and Evangelists'32:
What more is made known to us by those who were instructed by our Saviour Himself? And yet this man (Hermes) was anterior in time, not only to the disciples of our Lord, but also to all the prophets and teachers of our Law and, as the ancients say, to Moses himself.33
Another who risked the papal dungeons for his outward support of the Hermetica was the Italian scholar Francesco Patrizi, who published the Libelli of the Corpus Hermetica with a preface addressed to Pope Gregory XIV. After extolling the virtues of the Hermetica and the supreme wisdom and 'philosophy' of Hermes Trismegistus, Patrizi then makes this extraordinary request to the Pope:
I would have you, then, Holy Father, and all future Popes, give order that some of the books which I have named (prominent among these was the Hennetica) shall be continually taught everywhere, as I have taught them for the last fourteen years at Ferrara. . .34

THE EYE AND THE IRON THRONE OF OSIRIS

"There is a great deal of debate and confusion concerning the etymology of the name Osiris and the mysterious symbols attached to it. It may , surprise the reader to learn that the name is not Egyptian but Greek. The true and original name of the god in its most ancient form was As-Ar or Ausar, composed by two hieroglyphic signs of the 'throne' and the 'eye'.
Page 83

It is only much later, around 500 BC or so, that the Greeks gave it its classical pronounciation. The 'throne' almost certainly symbolises the 'throne of Osiris' or, more generally, the 'throne of divine kingship' -and in its other-worldly connotation, it may also stand for the 'throne of Osiris in the Duat'. Such a conclusion conforms with the role and function of Osiris as 'Lord of the Duat' and, at any rate, is confirmed by the many depictions in funerary art showing Osiris sitting on a throne in the so-called 'Judgement scene' where the god dispatches his verdict on the souls of the dead. There is an interesting variation of this depiction, however, in which Osiris is seen sitting on his throne placed on the summit of a pyramid or mound (see Fig. 13).107 Concerning this last, Rundle Clark had this to say:
    In this version (depiction) the central object is a I!lound which is approached by steps. Inside is either the recumbent figure of Osiris or a figure which represents him illumined by the night sun during its underworld journey. The stepped hill is, of course, the Primeval Mound, but this time it is given directions. The goddesses of North and South, and sometimes signs for East and West, decorate the outside of the steps. . . .Above the mound Osiris sits enthroned, protected sometimes by a goddess, and approached by Horus and Thoth and a peculiar being carrying two stiff serpents arranged in an X. The first god (Horus) to approach Osiris presents him with the Horus Eye - the old motif of the recovery of Osiris which is as old as the Pyramid Texts. .. The figure with the crossed serpents is probably the Divine Word. . .108
   One of the most potent symbols of ancient Egypt is the Udjet sign, which is depicted by an 'eye'. So ingrained was this symbol that it has survived to this day, generally used as a talisman to ward off evil and danger .109 Although the term Udjet is of the feminine gender, the 'eye' is that of a falcon and is clearly associated with primitive falcon gods such as Horus and Sokar110 In his detailed study of the Udjet symbol, R.T. Rundle Clark shows that the 'eye' was also associated with the sun and the moon that represented the two eyes of the cosmic falcon. 111 Since one of these 'eyes', the moon, wanes and waxes in a cycle of one month, the ancients used numerical fractions of the value one to design the Udjet symbol; the act of 'putting together' the Udjet-eye symbolised the return of the full moon which, according to Clark, signalled the idea 'that all is well' and that 'Maat', the cosmic order, is undisturbedl12:
    I am seeking the Eye of Horus, that I might bring it back and count it. . . I am Thoth who brings back Maat . . . I am he who returns the Udjet Eye, I am he
who abolishes its dimness, when its brightness was damaged. . . in the House of the Moon. . . 113

"I am seeking the Eye of Horus, that I might bring it back and count it."

"Egyptian literature is full of references to the 'bringing back of the Eye'. This strange motif, for example, is repeated no less than four hundred times in the spells and incantations of the Pyramid Texts and many scores more throughout the whole corpusof these ancient texts. The thematic myth associated with the 'eye of Horus' revolves around an epic battle that supposedly took place between Horus and his uncle Seth, with these two deities quarrelling over the throne of Osiris. After a raging fight that went on for several years, Horus lost his left eye and Seth lost his testicles.114 The battle finally ends when Thoth intervenes and persuades the contenders to put their case for arbitration before the council of the gods, known sometimes as The Great Ennead115 The outcome is in favour of Horus, who is crowned as the first legitimate divine king of the Osirian Kingdom. As soon as his coronation is over, Horus journeys into the realm of the Underworld-Duat in search of the 'body' of his father, Osiris. He then presents to the listless body of Osiris the 'Eye', whence Osiris is immediately revived:

 

O Osiris the king, I bring to you the Eye of Horus . . .O Osiris the king, Horus has put his Eye on your brow in its name of Great-of-Magic . . . Live, O my father Osiris the king, for I set for you the Eye of Horus on you116

O Horus who is (also) this Osiris the king, take the uninjured Eye of Horus. O Horus who is this Osiris the king, I paint it on your face for you, for Horus painted his uninjured Eye. O king, I attach your eyes to your face for you intact, so that you may see with them. . .117

O my father the king, the doors of the sky are opened for you. . . stand up and see this, stand up and hear this which your son Horus has done for you: he smites him (Seth) who smote you. . .118. . . may you remove yourself to the sky upon your iron throne... 119
Stand up for me, O my Father; stand up for me, O Osiris the king, for I am indeed your son, I am Horus. . . I have installed you, of my father Osiris the king, upon the throne, , .120"

"In these passages from the Pyramid Texts we are thus provided with a potent link between the 'Eye' and 'Throne' symbols, both now merging with the resurrection or reawakening of Osiris in his tomb. Let us hold this strange imagery in our mind while we return to the depictions in Fig. 10 (fig omitted) showing the Primeval Mound and the House of Sokar. In this depic-tion it is obvious that the throne is intended to represent the 'Benben' symbol, for it was the latter that was deposited by the Bennu-Phoenix on the summit of the original Primeval Mound whe)'1 the new age was / Page 85 /announced. And this imagery, of course, takes us to the monumental pyramids themselves, for as we have noted for many researchers including Dr I.E.S. Edwards the stepped pyramids of the third Dynasty were almost certainly representative of the Primeval Mound.121 Indeed, the hieroglyphic sign of a stepped pyramid was often used to denote the Primeval Mound.122 It is also known that the true, smooth-faced pyramids of the Fourth Dynasty, which include the Giza group, incor-porated within their structural core a stepped pyramid, a fact that is very suggestive that they, too, were to be regarded as symbolic of the Primeval Mound.123 In Fig. 13 (figure omitted) showing the Primeval Mound on which Osiris is seated on the throne, the Mound itself is fixed along the four astronomical directions, again a strong clue that it is meant to represent a classical pyramid monument whose four sides were always aligned towards the four astronomical (or cardinal) directions. This notion is / Page 86 / further strengthened by the analysis made by Dr Edwards for the word 'Mr', which stood for 'pyramid'. This word is formed by three signs, an 'eye-shaped' symbol, an 'owl' and a 'standard or post', all forming the phonetic word 'M(e)r'. Edwards showed that the determinative for the word 'r', which means 'to ascend', is, in fact, the sign to denote a stepped pyramid or Primeval Mound.124 He then pointed out that the 'm' sign, which means 'place', has led him to conclude that the word 'Mer', therefore, could mean 'the place of Ascension'.125

The good brother Robert continues his story.

"Now it is unquestioned that the only physical objects that could literally be said to have 'ascended' to the summit of monumental pyramids were, of course, the Benben pyramidions, the symbols of the astral 'soul' of the transfigured Osiris-king. Thus in Fig. 13 we have the symbols of Osiris (or his 'soul'), the 'eye' and the 'throne', all meeting together at the summit of the Primeval Mound or pyramid - which should now make it clear to us that, on the one hand, the symbol of a Benben Stone with the Eye, especially when placed on the top of the 'Primeval Mound' or Pyramid, is fully interchangeable with, on the other hand, the symbol of 'the throne with the eye' - the latter forming the name of Osiris. Algebraically then, Benben with Eye = Throne with Eye = Osiris.
The reader is now asked to recall how, in the Pyramid Texts, the original Benben Stone was said to be made of iron ('star' matter, i.e. meteoritic iron). It is, therefore, very significant to note that in the Pyramid Texts the 'throne' of Osiris is frequently said to be made of 'iron', the same cosmic stuff from which the 'bones' of the astral souls were also made:
I [the Osiris-king] ascend to the sky. . . I sit on this iron throne of mine. . .126
May you [the Osiris-king] remove yourself to the sky upon your iron throne. . .127
     You will ascend to the sky. . . you being seated upon your iron throne. . . you have traversed the Winding Waterway in the north of the sky as a star. . . the
     Duat has grasped your hand at the place where Orion is . . . (the celestial 'Giza '?)128
    Now here is the consequence of all this: the idea of the returning phoenix coming to 'the place where Orion is' (i.e. the celestial Gizal29) in order to announce a new messianic age is symbolised by the act of placing a capstone on top of a monumental pyramid. An idea, of course, that is also applicable to the return of a messianic figure at the opening of a new age which, in Christian lore, suggests similarities with the 'Second Coming' of Christ. Page 87 / Fig. J S. Pyramid texts. Note 'throne and eye' name of Osiris compounded
with the name of the pharaoh Unas (in the cartouche).
    The reader will notice, however, that in Fig. 13 there is within the Pyramid/Mound itself another figure, that of a hawk-headed mummified man lying on its back. Rundle Clark described this mysterious entity as the 'recumbent figure of Osiris or a symbol which represents him'. But what symbol could that be? A clue is given by Wallis Budge in his description of the combined god Osiris-Sokar 'in which he appears as a hawk-headed mummy'.130 There is, too, an almost identical recumbent hawk-headed figure depicted on the wall of the temple of Denderah in Upper Egypt which is also referred to as Sokar-Osiris of Busiris131 (see Fig. 8) . Here we see Sokar-Osiris lying on a catafalque or bed the base of which is shaped like the Aker lion; on one side of the bed stands the goddess Isis, and on the other side Nephtys.132 It is clear that by equating this imagery to the statement made in the Shabaka Stone quoted on page 66 we get, in fact, the very same imagery in words.
   Bearing all this in mind, let us now compare Fig. 1 showing the Fifth Division and the House of Sokar with Fig. 10 showing the stepped pyramid/Mound and Osiris on his throne. In Fig. 13 we see the god Sokar holding the plumes of the giant serpent in the House of Sokar surmounted by a Pyramid/Mound, and in Fig. 13 we see the same entity lying within or under a stepped-pyramid/Mound. The 'Mound' in Fig. 13 is, as Rundle Clark pointed out, a representation of the 'Creation Mound'. But what of the 'Mound' in Fig. 10? Let us examine this / Page 87/ 88 / Let us examine this / 'Mound' more closely. At the top of the Mound in Fig. 10 are two symbols, one a human head and the other a bell-shaped object (identified, as we have seen earlier, as an omphalos or sacred geodetic marker)"

Page 87/ 88 / Let us examine this / 'Mound' more closely. At the top of the Mound in Fig. 10 are two symbols, one a human head and the other a bell-shaped object (identified, as we have seen earlier, as an omphalos or sacred geodetic marker)") which is flanked by two kites.133 The two kites, according to Egyptologist George Hart, symbolise the goddesses Isis and Nephtys134 - again a pictorial depiction of what is in the Shabaka text. Rundle Clark explains further by saying that the omphalos-shaped object is yet another hieroglyphic sign to denote the Primeval Mound.I35 As for the human head that crowns the Pyramid/Mound, the hieroglyphic texts that accompany it state that this is 'the flesh of Isis who is above the sand of the land of Sokar,.I36 Now the name of Isis, like that of Osiris, is a Grecian derivative. The true name of the goddess in the ancient Egyptian language is Ast, which in its oldest form was written with two signs, one of which was a 'throne'. We can now see that the 'throne' of Isis, the omphalos-shaped object and the 'throne' and 'eye' of Osiris all merge in the complex symbolism of the Primeval Mound and, by extension, also of the original Benben/Pyramidion capstone. The star sirius, as we shall see later, is also representative of Isis, and could also be interchanged with these symbols at the top of the 'Mound'. But there is more. according to George Hart again, the Pyramid/Mound is representative of the desert 'tomb of Osiris', i.e. the 'burial place of Osiris' in the 'House of Sokar' in Rostau (i.e. Giza).137 it thus follows that the stepped- pyramid/Mound in which lies the recumbent hawk-headed figure is representative of the 'tomb of Osiris-Sokar' at giza. As for the huge recumbent sphinx called Aker which protects this 'tomb', we have already seen how many agree that it represents the Great Sphinx of Giza (i.e. Rostau). The overall conclusion is thus inevitable: the Egyptians, from the earliest of times, believed that somewhere underneath the bed- rock of Giza, and more specifically somewhere underneath the area where the Great Sphinx stands, was to be found the 'tomb of Osiris'.
Intriguingly, however, all these depictions and interchanging symbols are also extremely suggestive that this tomb is in the form of a pyramidal structure or 'Mound'. Could it not be that the various connections between the 'throne of Isis', the idea of a 'star' and the symbol of the Benben may, in themselves, also point to another secret chamber concealed within the core of the Great Pyramid or Simon Cox's 'Mound'? We shall review the evidence which leads to such an exciting conclusion for the Great Pyramid later on. Meanwhile the reader should also bear in mind that we shall also later see how [1] the goddess Isis was herself identified with the star Sirius whose hieroglyphic name, 'Sept', is composed of the signs denoting a Benben and a 'five-pointed star'; [2] / Page 89 / how the Benben and the five-pointed star meet up in the 'missing' capstone of the Great Pyramid of Giza; and [3] how the southern shaft of the Queen's Chamber in the Pyramid was not only directed to Sirius but that at its end, two hundred feet deep into the heart of the Pyramid, lies a small 'door' which many believe could lead to a secret chamber.
In the meantime I was faced with a web of tantalising and complex ideas which although they were floating next to each other in my mind, nonetheless lacked that catalyst I needed to bring them together. Yet at the same time I could not shake off the strong feeling that here, in this strong brew of symbols, was the rudiments of an arcane 'message' which, like the proverbial X on a treasure map, seemed to mark the location of the Fifth Division of the 'Duat', i.e. the House ofSokar, somewhere. in the Giza necropolis. As strange as it seemed, it was as if I was being 'guided' by the star Sirius whose rays, as it were, illuminated the deep and dormant recesses of my memory. But how could this be? Why did such strange and 'far out' ideas trouble my mind? And why, too, was I making an almost unconscious association of that star with the 'missing' capstone of the Great Pyramid? It did not make any sense. Yet to another side of my mind, a side that responded not with the limitation of the rational process but rather with the intuitive and creative faculties, it did seem to make 'sense'. Was I perhaps being made receptive, in some strange and inexplicable way, to some powerful subliminal message that was locked in the symbolic stellar lore of the ancient Pyramid builders and their cuI tic images? A 'message' which was not primarily intended for me or indeed for anyone else today, but had been long ago aimed at primed initiates of the Heliopolitan cult? Was I the unsuspecting victim - or beneficiary - of a devastatingly powerful Hermetic device?
It was at that point of impasse in my investigation that I suddenly remembered the so-called 'wider plan' of the star correlation theory presented in my first book, The Orion Mystery. In a section of that book termed 'Signpost to the Benben Stone', I had shown how the vast region which encompassed the Giza necropolis, the temple of Heliopolis and a third site known as the Khem (the Letopolis of the Greeks)138 together defined over the landscape a huge 'Pythagorian' right-angled triangle (see Figs 16 and 19).139 Let us note in passing that the name Khem Is extremely reminiscent of the name 'Khemmis', the latter being the place on the west bank of the Nile in the Delta region where, according to Egyptian mythology, Isis gave birth to Horus. 140 I had also suggested that the three corners of this 'Pythagorian' triangle were probably specifically and deliberately marked by [1] the apex of the Great Pyramid; [2] the apex of the Heliopolitan 'Mound' (the Benben); and [3] the apex of a / (page 90 Figure16 0mitted) / Page 91/ tower that had apparently once stood at Khem-Letopolis.141 Much in this curious geometrical arrangement was suggestive that the link between these three sites provided a sort of giant 'signpost' that led to the entrance of the Great Pyramid and, ultimately, through the narrow shafts shooting skywards toward 'the place where Orion is' which the Pyramid Texts tell us is where the 'gates of the Duat', i.e. Rostau, could to be found142:
I shall not be turned back at the gates of the Duat. I ascend to the sky with Orion
 . . . I am one who collects for himself his efflux in front of Rostau . . .143
You will ascend to the sky. . . you being seated upon your iron throne. . . you have traversed the Winding Waterway in the north of the sky as a star. . . the Duat has grasped your hand at the place where Orion is. . .144
In this ground plan, furthermore, I had shown how the Great Pyramid itself represented a star in Orion's belt, Zeta Orionis, and how Khem- Letopolis probably represented the corresponding position of the star Sirius near the west banks of the Milky Way.145 With these thoughts in mind, I also recalled a statement made by the French Egyptologist George Goyon in connection with the Great Pyramid which now, in the light of what has just been said, took on a new and eerie significance. 'The monument,' Goyon had written, 'was placed under the stellar protection of the god Horus. . .,146We shall see later how the 'star' of Horus was, in actual fact, also the star Sirius. Suffice at this stage to mention that in the ancient Pyramid Texts, as well as in all other religious literature of ancient Egypt, the stellar Horus was said to have been born from the 'womb of Sot his', the name given by the Greeks of Egypt to Isis-Sirius. 147 In The Orion Mystery there is an appendix entitled 'The Survival of the Star Religion' where I presented a detailed analysis on how in ancient Egyptian texts - such as the Carsberg I Papyrus, for example - the apparent nine-months (273 days) cycle of the star Sirius measured from its meridian passage was likened to the gestation cycle of the human foetus - which led me to conclude that the 'seeding of the womb of the goddess Sirius-Isis' mentioned in the Pyramid Texts was probably imagined to take place when Sirius was observed at the south meridian at dawn.148 During the Pyramid Age this important event occurred, incidentally, some twenty days before the autumn equinox when the sun was right on top of the 'scales' of the zodiacal constellation of Libra. 149 The zodiacal constellation of Libra was almost certainly associated with the cosmic 'scales' often seen in funerary vignettes depicting the so- called Judgement Scene of the 'weighing of the heart' and where Osiris is /
Page 92 / shown seated upon his throne flanked by Isis and Nephtys.150 The alignment of Sirius with the meridian axis of the Great Pyramid and also the southern shaft of the Queen's Chamber thus created a powerful sky- ground ritualistic setting for the 'seeding of the womb of Isis' with the embryo of the future Horus-king.151 I thus postulated that this was a powerful king-making ritual which during the Pyramid Age may well have been enacted inside the Queen's Chamber of the Great Pyramid with an ithyphallic statue of the king (or perhaps even his mummy) placed in front of the opening of the southern shaft.152 And it was this very shaft, as we have said, that led to a 'door' deep within the core of the Pyramid...
The probability for the existence of a secret chamber - or even a second one - at Giza, under the Sphinx or inside the Great Pyramid, is very high indeed. But assuming that secret chambers do exist at Giza, concealed there by the original builders of that site, then what would be their purpose? What cargo could be so precious, so obsessively important to preserve, which could induce a people to undertake such a vast and mind-boggling construction enterprise? What could possibly have been considered so valuable, so meaningful, so vitally necessary to posterity, to have it guarded by such a mighty memorial?
One word springs to mind: 'knowledge'. The knowledge of Thoth.
I According to the most conservative estimates, there are 4500 years that separate us from the supposed construction of the Giza necropolis. Could the system of knowledge of those ancients who planned Giza have somehow survived through this immense period of time? And was it inscribed, as all the ancient texts suggest, on tablets and slabs by the hand of the god Thoth himself? Are these safely preserved in hermetically sealed rooms? And, more importantly, is there tangible or scientific evidence to verify such a hypothesis? Has anyone tried? Who? And what have they found?
Yet before we tackle these provocative questions, we need to see how a substantial portion of this legendary 'knowledge' might have been transmitted across the ages through another route - one so well concealed that it has hitherto escaped the attention of the Egyptologists and historians altogether. Concealed, I will suggest, in a 'place' that no one can reach with spade, scalpel or radar, but only through an initiatory process that the 'knowledge' was designed for. Because not all knowledge, as the ancient master initiates knew so well, is something that one merely recorded in books and inscriptions; rather, true knowledge was better 'deposited' in a much vaster crucible and far more sophisti- cated device at their disposal: the memory of man. As we shall now see, / Page 93 /such powerful ideas may, indeed, have been preserved by inserting them, like some archaic intellectual microchip, deep into the body of new belief systems and promising religious and intellectual movements, in order for them to be carried forward through periods of danger and tribulations. And when the 'time was right and good', these ancient ideas could be reawakened from their millennial slumber."

THE QUEST FOR THE HALL OF RECORDS

A MASTER-PLAN FOR THE THREE PYRAMIDS OF GIZA
BASED ON THE CONFIGURATION OF THE THREE STARS OF THE BELT OF ORION

"The Pyramid Texts embody the remnants of a well-structured star-cult, the main theme of which was the transfiguration of the dead pharaohs into stars <1>. Examination of the Pyramid Texts reveals that the dominant stars of this cult were those of the constellation of Orion. The special attention given to Orion can be understood in several ways: it is the most striking of the constellations, in the archaic Period, it happened to rise in midsummer at dawn (c.2600 BC), as though a celestial herald of the forthcoming yearly nilotic flood. Consequently, the appearance of Orion after a prolongued period of 'invisibility' was taken as the celestial event preluding a new season of rejuvenation and growth of nature as a whole. Mythologically, Orion was thus seen as the celestial representation of Osiris, the god of rebirth/resurrection, and with whom all the dead pharaohs, as star-gods, were identified <2>. Thus the Pyramid Texts proclaim: 'Behold, he has come as Orion, behold Osiris has come as Orion...O king, the sky conceives you with Orion, the dawn-light bears you with Orion, you will regularly ascend with Orion from the eastern region of the sky, you will regularly descend with Orion into the western region of the sky...' (pyr.820-822). 'O king, you are this great star, the companion of Orion, who traverses the sky with Orion, who navigates the Netherworld with Osiris, you ascend from the east of the sky, being renewed in your due season, and rejuvenated in your due time.' (pyr.882). 'Live, be alive! Be young beside your father, beside Orion in the sky...' (pyr. 2180).<3>.

 The Egyptian knew Orion under the name of 'Sah'. They imagined 'Sah' as a male anthropomorphic figure undoubtedly representing Osiris. Several drawings of 'Sah' dating from the New Kingdom are known, notably from the tomb of Senmut (south hall ceiling), where 'Sah' is depicted as a man standing on a boat, holding the Ankh symbol in one hand and a staff in the other, above his head are three large stars in a row, the topmost star slightly deviated to the left (see plates)<4>. There can be little doubt that these three stars are Zeta, Epsilon and Delta Orionis -the Belt Of Orion- which form the same characteristic pattern at the centre of the constellation <5>. It is to be noted that this pattern has not perceptibly changed since the time of the Pyramid Age (c.2700 BC-2150 BC). This is because these three stars are well-over 1000 light-years away, and consequently no proper motion is normally registered for them. In any case, any undetected annual proper motion would probably be below the l/lOOOth of a second level, thus far too small for the span of time considered to cause any perceptible change in the pattern of the three stars <6>. In short, the characteristic pattern formed by the three stars of the belt of Orion appears the same to us as it did to the Egyptians who built the Great Pyramid (c.2600 BC).

"Betelgeuse The star AlphaOrionis, the tenth-brightest star in the sky. It is an M2 supergiant and a semiregular variable, fluctuating between magnitudes 0.0 and 1.3 in a period of several years, with an average magnitude of 0.5. Its distance and luminosity are poorly determined. Some estimates place it around 400 l.y. away, much closer than the stars in the Orion Association, with a luminosity 5000 times the Sun's. But if it is at the same distance as the Orion Nebula, 1400 1.y., its true luminosity would be over 50000 times the Sun's. Betelgeuse is an extremely large star, hundreds of times the diameter of the Sun. Its variations in brightness occur as it swells and contracts in size.

"Orion (abbr. Ori, gen. Orionis) A magnificent constellation on the celestial equator, representing a great hunter of Greek mythology. Orion is outlined by the prominent stars *Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis), *Rigel (Beta Orionis, the / Page 342 / Orion Arm 342
constellation's brightest star), *Bellatrix (GammaOrionis), and *Saiph (Kappa Orionis). A line of three stars, * Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis), * Alnitak (Zeta Orionis). and *Mintaka (Delta Orionis), make up the Belt of Orion. The famous *Orion Nebula, M42, contains the multiple star known as the *Trapezium. On the southern edge of the Orion Nebula is the double star Iota Orionis, magnitudes 2.8 and 6.9. North of the Orion Nebula is another bright nebula, NGC 1977, and
further north again is the 5th-magnitude open cluster NGC 1981. 'Phis complex of nebulosity and clusters forms the Sword of Orion, hanging from Orion's belt.
Sigma Orionis is an impressive multiple star of magnitudes 3.8, 6.6, 6.7, and 8.8. Eta Orionis is a close double, magnitudes 3.8 and 4.8. The dark *Horsehead Nebula intrudes into a faint strip of nebulosity, IC 434, which runs south of Alnitak. The *Orionid meteors radiate from the constellation every October.
Orion Arm The local spiral arm of our Galaxy. The Sun lies near its inner edge, that is, towards the galactic centre. All the main  naked eye stars are part of the Orion arm, including those of Orion itself, The arm stretches towards Cygnus in one direction, and towards Puppis andVela in the opposite direction. Features in the Orion Arm include the *Gum Nebula, the *Orion Nebula, the *North America Nebula, the *Cygnus Loop, and the *Great Rift. The Orion arm was once thought
to be a connecting link between larger structures in our Galaxy; hence it is sometimes also known as the Orion Spur.
Orion Association A large association of very young stars of spectral types O
and B, centred on the *Orion Nebula, 1500 l.y. away. It is about 400 l.y. across and contains all the main stars of Orion, except Betelgeuse. The area is still partly shrouded in gas from which stars continue to fo1'In.
Orionid meteors A meteor shower showing modefate activity between
October 15 and November 2. The activity pattern is complex, with sevefal peaks and troughs, presumably reflecting the filamentary nature of the meteor stream laid down over several perihelion returns by *Halley'sComet. A broad maximum, with ZHR reaching 30, is seen fora couple ot'days around October 21, from a radiant at RA 6h 24m, dec. +150 (between Betelgeuse and Gamma Geminorum). Orionid meteors are very swift (geocentric velocity 66 km/s), and a high proportion leave persistent trains, but most are faint.
Orion Molecular Clouds A group of large clouds of gas and dust 1500 l.y. away in the constellation Orion, the nearest examples of * giant molecular clouds. Each cloud is over 100 l.y. across and contains more than 100000 solar masses of gas, mostly in the form of hydrogen molecules. The young stars of Orion formed from these clouds within the last 10 million years. New stars aIle stin forming in dense
molecular cores within the clouds, hidden from sight by the dust, but detectable as
sources of infrared and molecular radiation. The best-known molecular cores are
designated OMC-l and OMC-2. \.
Orion Nebula A large and bright nebula, 1500l.y. away in the constellation
Orion; also known as M42 or NGC 1976. The nebula covers more than 10 x 1. of
sky and is faintly visible to the naked eye as a fuzzy patch around the multiple star
Theta 1 Orionis, also known as the *Trapezium, The ultraviolet light from the
Trapezium stars ionizes the nebula. The Orion Nebula is over 20 l.y. in diameter, and contains several hundred solar massesot' ionized gas. It forms al hot blister on the near side of one of the massive *Orion Molecular Clouds.
Orion Spur Alternative name for the *Orion Arm of our Galaxy, given when it was thought to be a branch of the *Perseus Arm.

It is not the purpose or task of this book to go into the complex scholarship of Gnostic studies, but a brief overview is, at this stage, imperative to our investigation. However, let us begin by saying that the latest research shows that this early form of Christianity was rooted in the ancient mystery and initiatory religions of Egypt, Greece and the East, and that it was through Gnosticism that these ancient systems were carried across the ages to finally discharge themselves, albeit much mutated and distorted, in the modem mystery schools of Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry. In his comprehensive and rather daring study entitled The Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom in the Christian Scriptures, the scholar William Kingsland argues thai
. . . the (Christian) scriptures are not always to be taken literally as biographies of the life of Christ but that they also contain allegorical and symbolical levels of meaning as well. The figure of Christ that emerges is not much one of a suffering saviour, pouring out his life's blood for the redemption of the world, but rather of a guide to the essential 'gnosis' that the 'kingdom of heaven lies within' . . .11
The crux of Kingsland's thesis is that the teachings of Jesus have much in common with other mystery religions associated with teachers such as Hermes Trismegistus, Buddha and Zoroaster, and that they also form part of a system of enlightenment involving initiation into the so-called Mysteries, and that the rudimentary basis of these secret ceremonies have survived today in the rituals of modem initiation societies such as the Freemasons.12 In the author's own words:
 The existence of the ancient Mysteries in Egypt, Greece, and elsewhere is of course well-known as a matter of history; and many of the more esoteric ceremonies in connection with these have survived to this day in the rituals of Freemasonry and the Church itself. . . In all ages of which we have any literary records we find the tradition of a recondite knowledge which could not be disclosed to any save to those who had undergone the severest tests as to their worthiness to receive it. This knowledge was generally known under the term of the Mysteries, and it was concerned with the deepest facts of Man's origin, nature, and connection with super-sensual worlds of beings, as well as with the 'natural' laws of the physical world. It was no mere speculation; it was real knowledge, Gnosis, knowledge of 'the things that are', knowledge of Reality; a knowledge that gave its possessor powers which at one time or other have been regarded as pertaining only to the gods. . . The basis of that knowledge, the fundamental principle on which all the teachings rested, was the essential divine nature of man, and the consequent possibility of becoming, by self-knowledge, a /Page 99 Figure 19 omitted / Page100 / god like being. The final goal, the final objective of all the Mysteries, was the full realisation by the initiate of his divine nature in its oneness with the Supreme Being . . . 13

MAGICAL RELIGION

Page 120

"A century or so after the rediscovery of the Corpus Hermeticum, a strange regeneration of , Egyptian' mysticism was taking place in Western culture. The Hermetica was being circulated among scholars, the educated classes and even royalty.19 A new breed of 'Hermetic' philo- sophers, cabalists, alchemists, magicians, seers and wizards of all sorts began to emerge.20 In Chapter 2 we saw the bizarre involvement of the Papacy with Hermeticism and how some misguided scholars attempted to convince the Church not only that Hermes- Thoth was a prophet of Christianity, but also that his 'books' should be canonised and embraced as 'gospels' of the Roman Catholic Church. Others, more radical in their demands, went as far as to preach the return of the 'Egyptian' religion as the true religion of the world. Among the most forceful and influential of these new Hermetic activists was a mysterious Italian scholar from the Nolan region called Giordano Bruno.
   Before the late 1960s very few people indeed, except within a tight academic circle, had even heard of Giordano Bruno.21 It was not until the British scholar Frances A. Yates took up the task of understanding Bruno's role and motives in the Italian Renaissance and, more impor- tantly, his strange contacts in the French and English courts, that the true picture of Bruno's bizarre mission began to emerge. In her turning- point work, Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition (first published in 1962 in London), Yates performed a sort of intellectual archaeological feat by discovering the rudiments of a powerful esoteric tradition which had hitherto gone undetected. This tradition, as we shall see, almost certainly caused the formation of speculative Freemasonic and Rosi- crucIan movements and ultimately, as I shall also show, set up the conditions that were to lead seekers to look for the fabled 'Hall of Records' at Giza. To give a name to this mysterious 'tradition' Yates was to coin the phrase 'the Hermetic Tradition'.22
Giordano Bruno's mission began in 1581, when he set himself the task of persuading the monarchs of Europe to install, no less, the 'magical religion of the Egyptians' as the new religion of the world. That year, Bruno had arrived in the city of Paris after wandering out of Italy and through Europe for several months. In Paris he gave public lectures which eventually got him noticed by the French king, Henri III. Bruno, / Page 121 / by then, had developed an extremely high level of proficiency in the classical art of memory called mnemonics and had already published two books on the subject. Yates writes:
 This classical art, usually regarded as purely mnemotechnical, had a long history in the Middle Ages. .. In the Renaissance it became fashionable among Neoplatonists and Hermetists. It was now understood as a method of printing basic archetypal images on the memory. . . a kind of inner way of knowing the universe. . . The Hermetic experience of reflecting the universe in the mind is, I believe, at the root of Renaissance magic memory, in which the classic mnemonic with places and images is now understood, or applied, as a method of achieving this experience by imprinting archetypal, or magically activated, images on the memory. By using magical or talismanic images as memory- images, the Magus (magician) hoped to acquire universal knowledge, and also powers, obtained through the magical organisation of the imagination.- a magical powerful personality, tuned in, as it were, to the power of the cosmos. This amazing transformation, or adaptation, of the classical art of memory in the Renaissance has a history before Bruno, but in Bruno it reaches culmination. The De umbris idearum and the Cantus Circaeus . . . are his two first works on magic memory. This reveals him as a magician. . .23
The human memory has a natural system of selecting images, colours, scents or sounds in order to store vast amounts of information, moods, ideas, feelings and sensations. Imagine a day at the beach with friends and family, full of activities, full of fun and full of wonderful sensations. That day, however, something unusual happens. You are stung by a blue- bottle jellyfish. Years later you are visiting an aquarium somewhere else in the world, and in one of the displays floats a little blue-bottle jellyfish. Suddenly that 'image' unleashes the memories of that day on the beach. The blue-bottle is the 'icon' or 'archetypal image' in which was stored all the memories of that special day. Your mind will most certainly work out why the memory came to the surface by relating the jellyfish to the events remembered. It could have happened in a far more subtle way. You cou.Id have seen something totally unrelated, say, a postage stamp, whose colour very closely resembled that of the blue-bottle jellyfish. The unconscious mind makes the association, and the memories of that day will again flash in your mind. Except this time you may not be able to work out why this has happened, i.e. your conscious mind may not have registered what exactly it was that triggered the memory. This phenome- non is what the Hermetic scholars would have called the 'silent language' and what the ancient Egyptians would have called the 'language of the gods'.
Page122

The classical art of mnemonics is to learn how to create such an icon yourself and store it in the mind; then, at a later date, unleash it at will to bring back the desired memory stored in it. A very simple example of this is when you tie a string on your finger in order to remind you of something later. on. This works so long as the item you wish to remember is simple and straightforward. What if the subject matter involved remembering a complex chain of events such as a Shakespeare play or a lecture on atomic physics? A far more sophisticated method would be needed, and that is where the art of mnemonics can be applied. One of the techniques is to imagine a house that you are familiar with, and allocate in chronological order the memory of each event to a room or item in this house. Later you can visualise yourself walking around the house along a predetermined route, entering the rooms and, as you encounter each item or 'icon', the memory that it 'stores' begins to unfold. It takes many years of practice to become a master of the art of memory, and those few who have the ability and intellect to become adepts will develop tremendous insight, which in turn can be converted into enormous power of influence and manipulation. Vast memory that can be controlled, like that of a powerful computer, translates into vast reservoirs of knowledge. Knowledge, as we all know, is power. The greater the memory and the more refined the means to store and control it, the greater the power of the magician.
Recognising such immense abilities in Giordano Bruno, Henri III appointed him as a spy to the French court, a sort of Renaissance version of James Bond, and dispatched him to the English court of Elizabeth I. The year was 1583. Commenting on this mission, Frances Yates writes that
. . . Henri III, who, by sending Bruno into England on some mission. . . changed the course of his life from a wandering magician into that of a very strange kind of missionary indeed. . .24
The 'strange kind' of mission that Bruno set out for himself was the extraordinary task of persuading the Elizabethan court, and through it eventually the whole of Europe, to adopt the 'true religion of the world'. That Bruno's intention was to attempt this is confirmed by a letter written by the English ambassador in Paris, Sir Henry Cobham, to Francis Walsingham in England to warn him of Bruno's hidden motives: 'Doctor Giordano Bruno Nolano, a professor in philosophy, intends to pass into England, whose religion I cannot commend. '25 This is a wonderful English understatement. For the religion that Cobham / Page123 / 'cannot commend' and which Bruno is bringing to England, as we shall see, is none other than the ancient Egyptian religion or, more precisely, that magical religion that he, Bruno, has discovered in the Hermetic texts.26 Bruno, in this ambitious and daring mission, is trying single- handed to seed the idea of a total general reformation of the world, a sort of intellectual and spiritual 'Second Coming' which he believes can be brought about by the revival of ancient Egypt's magical religion. To do this, Bruno is applying his own magical powers, that is the 'words of power' which are made the more devastating by linking them to talismans and archetypal images.27 Making use of a mixture of alchemical a1}d cabalistic techniques, Bruno's brand of magic using words and images is clearly 'Egyptian' in style. This is made evident when he wrote:
. . . the sacred letters used among the Egyptians were called hieroglyphs. . .
which were images. . . taken from things of nature, or their parts. By using such writings and voices, the Egyptians used to capture with marvellous skills the language of the gods (my italics). Afterwards when letters of the kind which we use now were invented. . . they brought about a great rift both in memory and in the divine and magical sciences.28
This statement alone demonstrates the amazing perceptive ability this sixteenth-century magician had. For we must remember that Bruno was writing these words more than three centuries before the Frenchman
Champollion deciphered hieroglyphics.29 From the time he began his visit to England in 1583, Giordano Bruno went about proclaiming the imminent return of the magical religion of Egypt. As Frances Yates pointed out:
    The works in the form of dialogues written in Italian which Bruno published in England are usually classified as moral and philosophical. . . both Bruno's proposed reform and his philosophy are related to his Hermetic religious mission . . . a mission [which] . . . becomes expanded into a projected full restoration of the magical religion of the pseudo-Egyptians of the Asclepius (a major tract on the Hermetica) . . .30 .
    Yet Bruno was no New Age ranter. In Bruno we have the perfect example of how a powerful intuition can know what scientific minds have trouble perceiving. It was Bruno, for example, who introduced Copernicus's ideas of heliocentricity to the Oxford scholars by using his own intuitive vision of the planets and the sun.31 It was also Bruno who was among the very first to imagine a cosmos populated by innumerable / Page 124 / other worlds.32 We may thus wonder if his unusual intuition will not one day prove correct when he spoke of a revival of the 'magical Egyptian religion' in the Western world. In his major work Spaccio della Bestia Trionfante, which was written in England in 1584, Bruno's central theme is 'the glorification of the magical religion of the Egyptians,.33 In this work Bruno correctly detected in this ancient religious system that the worship of the Egyptians was the worship of 'God in things' and that communication with the divine could thus be achieved through all things in nature, by the application of a special magic which the Egyptian priests were the masters of:
. . for as the divinity descends in a certain manner inasmuch as it communicates itself to nature, so there is an ascent made to the divinity through nature. Thus through the light which shines in natural things one mounts up to the life which presides over them. . . And in truth I see how the wise men (of Egypt) by these means had power to make familiar, affable and domestic gods, which, through the voices which came out of the statues, gave counsels, doctrines, divinations and superhuman teachings. Whence with magical and divine rights they ascended to the height of the divinity by the same scale of nature by which the divinity descends to the smallest things by the communication of itself. . . Those wise men, then, in order to obtain certain benefits and gifts from gods, by means of profound magic, made use of certain natural things in which the divinity was latent, and through which the divinity was able and willing to communicate itself for certain effects. Whence those ceremonies were not vain fancies, but living voices which reached to the very ears of the gods. . .34
Bruno was living in a time of great expectation for some major religious reformation. A sort of 'Second Coming' frenzy was about to take hold of the European masses. Signs in the heavens were eagerly awaited. Rumours ran wild that soon a messianic-like child would be born and would unite Europe and the world under a fully reformed Christianity. Hermeticism, according to many, was the ideal tool in an attempt to activate this religious reform.35 As the Parisian scholar J. Dagens noted, 'the end of the sixteenth century and the start of the seventeenth century have been the golden age of the Religious Hermetism'.36 Using complex mathematical calculations, some astrono- mers and religious reformers worked out that the coming of such a messianic 'child' would take place at the end of the sixteenth century,37 and this would be made manifest with signs in the heavens. Amazingly, the heavens were to oblige with the sudden appearance of a supernova star in 1604.38
 This spectacular phenomenon took place in the constellation of / Page 125 / Cygnus."

"The point that is being made here is that there existed a sacred science in Egypt that could only be imparted to gifted individuals with a strong predisposition for intuitive learning - the type of learning that is done with the human apparatus of perception, with the fine tuning of the five senses such that they functioned jointly as super receivers and transmitters of messages. Thus the initiation or training of natural magicians was to fine-tune the sensory perception. Anyone can fine-tune his sense to 'read' the messages of nature. However, to be a magician is to be able to reverse the process, i.e. to transmit the messages to others by using the 'language of the gods'. This is the arcana arcanorum, the ultimate secret of the magician. Thoth, the inventor of this magic, was supreme in its application. Equipped with such a cognition of Thoth, we can now examine the purpose of his divine mission as 'messenger' of the gods."

"What one would look for, therefore, would be a universal language, the kind of language that would be comprehensible to any technologically advanced society in any epoch, even a thousand or ten thousand years into the future. Such languages are few and far between, but mathematics is one of them - and the city of Teotihuacan may be the calling-card of a lost civilization written in the eternal language of mathematics."

"Of all the other stupendous inventions,' Galileo once remarked,

what sublimity of mind must have been his who conceived how to communicate his most secret thoughts to any other person, though very distant either in time or place, speaking with those who are in the Indies, speaking to those who are not yet born, nor shall be this thousand or ten thousand years? And with no greater difficulty than the various arrangements of two dozen little signs on paper? Let this be the seal of all the admirable inventions of men.3"

NINE like all else, Gods symbol and special name. NINE the sign of that intangible creative moment of change, the symbol NINE  

It is that which indicates within the eternal continuum the death, and rebirth of our creative fecund living consciousness. That which in heralding the death knell of a life. does triumphantly proclaim its immortality. It is the very essence of that from which which the fabric of reality is spun.

 It is the mystery of all such variations of numerical, alchemical distillations, which, within the magic of Hermetic transubstantiation conjure up that blessed moment of magic occaisioned as the majestic Nine and another spark, It denotes eternal change, the twisting and turning of the numerical kaleidoscope, searching for and casting the combinations of numbers that transmute from out of patterned potential the imperishable Gold of the sacred symbol that is the Nine.The magical symbol that denotes the act of creation . The God Symbol.It is the moment of equilibrium, the act of balance, the moment of transfer, it is that that, that effects the transition betwixt and between Heaven and Earth. It is the symbol of the upside down of the downside up and the downside up of the upside down. Its fusion with a brother and sister number marks the stirring and return of the God Osiris. It is the manifestation of that metamorphosizing state of being of which all are. It is the very symbol of the living energy that is indestructable. It proclaims that Thou that issues forth from the very font of the fulcrum of energies that constitute the fusion of mind and matter. It is  thus, indicative of that quintessential moment of time stood still It is the shewn signal.of an indescribable magic It is the creative evocation of the birth that arises az in both directions at one and the same time. It is the symbol of Alpha and Omega the A to Z of the Magikalalphabet.

THE QUEST FOR THE HALL OF RECORDS

A MASTER-PLAN FOR THE THREE PYRAMIDS OF GIZA
BASED ON THE CONFIGURATION OF THE THREE STARS OF THE BELT OF ORION

"The Pyramid Texts embody the remnants of a well-structured star-cult, the main theme of which was the transfiguration of the dead pharaohs into stars <1>. Examination of the Pyramid Texts reveals that the dominant stars of this cult were those of the constellation of Orion. The special attention given to Orion can be understood in several ways: it is the most striking of the constellations, in the archaic Period, it happened to rise in midsummer at dawn (c.2600 BC), as though a celestial herald of the forthcoming yearly nilotic flood. Consequently, the appearance of Orion after a prolongued period of 'invisibility' was taken as the celestial event preluding a new season of rejuvenation and growth of nature as a whole. Mythologically, Orion was thus seen as the celestial representation of Osiris, the god of rebirth/resurrection, and with whom all the dead pharaohs, as star-gods, were identified <2>. Thus the Pyramid Texts proclaim: 'Behold, he has come as Orion, behold Osiris has come as Orion...O king, the sky conceives you with Orion, the dawn-light bears you with Orion, you will regularly ascend with Orion from the eastern region of the sky, you will regularly descend with Orion into the western region of the sky...' (pyr.820-822). 'O king, you are this great star, the companion of Orion, who traverses the sky with Orion, who navigates the Netherworld with Osiris, you ascend from the east of the sky, being renewed in your due season, and rejuvenated in your due time.' (pyr.882). 'Live, be alive! Be young beside your father, beside Orion in the sky...' (pyr. 2180).<3>.

 The Egyptian knew Orion under the name of 'Sah'. They imagined 'Sah' as a male anthropomorphic figure undoubtedly representing Osiris. Several drawings of 'Sah' dating from the New Kingdom are known, notably from the tomb of Senmut (south hall ceiling), where 'Sah' is depicted as a man standing on a boat, holding the Ankh symbol in one hand and a staff in the other, above his head are three large stars in a row, the topmost star slightly deviated to the left (see plates)<4>. There can be little doubt that these three stars are Zeta, Epsilon and Delta Orionis -the Belt Of Orion- which form the same characteristic pattern at the centre of the constellation <5>. It is to be noted that this pattern has not perceptibly changed since the time of the Pyramid Age (c.2700 BC-2150 BC). This is because these three stars are well-over 1000 light-years away, and consequently no proper motion is normally registered for them. In any case, any undetected annual proper motion would probably be below the l/lOOOth of a second level, thus far too small for the span of time considered to cause any perceptible change in the pattern of the three stars <6>. In short, the characteristic pattern formed by the three stars of the belt of Orion appears the same to us as it did to the Egyptians who built the Great Pyramid (c.2600 BC).

 "All numbers greater than nine can be reduced to a single digit by the process of fadic addition, for example:

12 is reduced to 3 by adding 1 and 2;

49 is reduced to 4 by adding 4 and 9 which equals 13 and subsequently adding 1 and 3 to make 4."

RAMESSES

Egypt's Greatest Pharaoh

Joyce Tyldesley 2000

Page xxvi

 "The Egyptians wrote their hieroglyphic texts without vowels, using consonants not found in our modem alphabet. In consequence, although we can read and understand the ancient writings we cannot be certain of the correct pronunciation of any word or name. This explains why different authors refer to the same individual by seemingly different names. Ramesses II, for example, variously appears in print as Ramesses, Ramses, Ramesse and Remeses while Queen Nefertari occasionally occurs as Nofretari. Throughout this book the most simple and widely accepted version of each proper name has been used with Ramesses preferred to the increasingly popular Ramses as the former most accurately represents the original Egyptian name. I follow current convention in using the words king and pharaoh interchangeably".

Introducing Ramesses

"Some of Egypt's kings and queens have emerged from the obscurity of the tomb in sudden and spectacular fashion. The decoding of hieroglyphics, a tantalizing mystery until 1822, revealed the unexpected existence of the two aberrant New Kingdom pharaohs Hatchepsut and Akhenaten. The 1912 recovery of a magnificent portrait head from the ruined city of Amarna brought the beautiful Queen Nefertiti back to life, Above all, the unparalleled 1922 discovery of a virtually intact royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings allowed the hitherto insignificant boy-king Tutankha- men to triumph over death. Ramesses II, however, has never been in need of such a renaissance. Over the three millennia that have passed since his reign, his name - albeit in a distorted form - has never been forgotten.
Sixty-six relatively peaceful years on the throne had allowed Ramesses ample opportunity for self-promotion. By the time of his death in 1213 BC his monuments and image were to be found in every comer of his realm, The name ofRamesses was known and respected throughout the varied but inter-related kingdoms which made up what archaeologists now term the' Ancient World' - a wide circle of states encompassing Northern Turkey, Iran, Central Africa, Libya and the Balkans and extending as far west as Italy and even Spain. Within Egypt the highly efficient royal propaganda machine had elevated Ramesses to the status of living legend with divine attributes. In Nubia, Ramesses had already become a fully fledged god. A fortunate combination of circumstances - optimal Nile floods leading to good harvests, international stability and, of course, the extraordinary longevity which caused Ramesses to outlive not only his contemporaries but many of his children and grandchildren - had allowed Egypt to enjoy a continuity of government which was the envy of her neighbours. Whether by good luck or good management, Egypt flourished under Ramesses, and her people were grateful"

  I am
(Sufi poem of Mirza Khan, Ansari)

How shall I define what thing I am?
Wholly existent, and yet non-existent, through Him, I am.
Whatever becometh naught out of entity,
The signification of that nothingness am I.
Sometimes a mote on the disc of the sun;

At others, a ripple on the water's surface.
Now I fly about in the wind of association:

Now I am a bird of the incorporeal world.
By the name of ice I also style myself:
Congealed in the winter season am I.
I have enveloped myself in the four elements;
I am the cloud on the face of the sky.
From unity I have come into infinity:
Indeed, nothing existeth, that I am not.
My vitality is from life's source itself;
And I am the speech, every mouth within.

I am the hearing-sense with every ear;
And also the sight of every eye am I.
I am the potentiality of every thing:
I am the perception every one within.
My will and inclination are with all;
With mine own acts, also, satisfied am I.
Unto the sinful and vicious, I am evil;
But unto the good beneficent am I.

Dhikrs of the Sufis
AIl recitations are performed in a state of ritual purity. The face, arms, feet and mouth are washed. If the Seeker has slept since his last dhikr, he must have a bath. Any other pollution must also be removed by complete immersion.
Dhikrs are generally said during the hours of darkness. When a supernatural result is desired, the dhikr must dwell upon some facet of the Divine power allied to the effect to be accom- plished. Thus, when a Sufi wishes to cure illness, he prepares himself by repeating a dhikr consisting of the Name of God which denotes healing. By this means the Sufi intends to collect in his mind a tremendous potential of mental force associated with healing. This he projects towards the object of ltis atten- tions, at the same time concentrating upon the desired result.
  When a Sufi's aid is invoked to ensure, for example, success in any venture, he will purify himself and spend three nights, culminating on a Thursday, reciting the simple formula Ya Fatih (' O Victor ') - one of the Attributes of the AIl-Powerful.
On Thursday (the 'powerful' night of the week) the full quota of power will have been built up in his mind: this, at any event, is the theory. He may also give the person a talisman or amulet with the dhikr written on it, to wear on his arm. Even today, these dhikr amulets are widely worn among all classes in the Moslem East. It is not uncommon for Sufis to receive a visitation from some important member of the Order - perhaps long dead - advising them as to the best course to take in any matter upon which they are uncertain.
At the outset of his training the more esoteric aspects of Sufism are of less concern to the Seeker than the attainment of progress through implicit obedience to the formulae of the cult. The root of all such progress is dhikr. Having either been given a set dhikr to repeat (if he is under the direct guidance of a Sheikh), or having selected one himself (if he is an Uwaysi working towards the goal alone), his task is to repeat it with meticulous regard for the times and frequency of its saying.
If the formula is said under the breath (dhikr khafi), a rosary with ninety-nine beads is used, one bead being told after each repetition. In the case of the dhikr jali (' loud repetition ') the / Page 84 / the rosary is often not used."

"Moslem tradition tells a curious tale of the Prophet Mohammed being bewitched by a Jewish sorcerer using this method.Nine knots were tied in a string, each knot' binding' a curse, and the thread was then hidden in a well. Only the archangel Gabriel's timely warning, we are informed, disclosed the hiding- place of the Death Spell. Such spells are countered by untying the knots, one by one: but in this case the chroniclers affirm that they unravelled themselves at the Prophet's command."
