EGYPT AND ITS SYMBOLOGY

"The upper and the lower Nile represent the higher aspect of man and of Egypt, and the lower, the lower natures. "

Atlantis colonized all points of the world, the Americas, Egypt, the areas of Brittany and other points across its boundary. But the greatest of these and the lowest, the highest and the lowest, the most perverse and corrupt, the highest and most ideal, which is paradoxical in its content, was Egypt.

Egypt cannot be called the cradle of civilization, truly, but it was the colony that grew in strength and momentmn more quickly and much more swiftly enough to then aid itself by its continued coininunication with extraterrestrials and having these actually come in the form of what they considered Deity later, to govern and rule them as were the rulers of Atlantis and therefore, then, reach out and touch the other points of the world in colonization. That is why the hieroglyphic writing is found in the Mayan culture of the Aztec. This is why it is found in great similarity in certain carvings toward the north, in the Americas and in that of Europe. This is why certain symbols of animals are found upon the plains. This is why they are found as they are and, to one here, this is why certain similar patterns, form, shapes and a direct representation out of Egypt is found and held within, along with the secrets held within the great piece of granite, as is held similarly in the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid.

Egypt's governmental process beginning with the first lineage, to the kingdoms, to the last and the decadent period, we shall speak of the aristocratic and of the humble and the lowly, of the greater names of power and riches, of the lower and poorer ones. We shall speak of the land of Kent. We shall speak of the land, perhaps, of Punt. We shall speak of the cataracts along the river. We shall speak of the upper and the lower Nile. We shall speak of the upper and lower Egypt. We shall speak of its divisions, of the conflicts in the nome masters against Pharaoh. We shall speak of Egypt's magic. We shall speak of Egypt's culture insofar as it's episode from birth to death, the aspects of birth, of medicine, of death, of the priesthood, of embalming--the reason, the how, the why. For when we speak of Egypt we are speaking of Atlantis and all points of the earth that have been colonized and thus a culture has grown out of it, reminiscent of not only Egypt's influence but the influence of Atlantis. For Egypt was the strongest of the colonies that Atlantis colonized nigh unto its destruction, demise and dark night of purge.

Egypt is a land of spoil, for you can look in the Scriptures and find that the children of Israel beheld the dead Egyptians upon the shore. 1 Egypt had visited

upon them the plagues which have never left. 2 The mark of Egypt is upon the land and it is almost as barren. Yet it is growing into a cultural point. It was growing very well until decadence of political intrigue entered, and now is all that has been built insofar as architectural modernization, the windows have been painted black, the streets are tom up and barricaded and trenches are rampant.

Egypt as it was, so mysterious; now its only mystery is in how it exists and what will its future be; Egypt--the good and the bad, the positive and the negative. For Egypt can be applied and is applicable to yourself, to you as an individual soul-personality, your spiritual growth, your physical body, your mind's mentality, the struggle toward greater spiritual superiority to circumstances and obstacles within your life.

It can be compared to the governmental aspect, political, philosophical, religious, socioeconomic. It was a land of great wealth for it took from all other lands. Small though it was it controlled much of the world and influenced all of the world. Then came Rome, Greece, and they had great influence, and out of the vastness of the world's conquerors ca1ne one called Alexander, who took Egypt.

Egypt at that time was not a pleasant place. Most of it was barren, desert, swamp; but nigh unto the swamp, the delta, there he chose to build a city, Alexandria. It is there that he hoped to return. It is there in Egypt that he learned the greatest wisdom that he would ever learn. It is there that he was told of his death. It is back to Egypt that he wanted to be brought to die and wanted his body returned. Where was Alexander from? Macedonia.

Why would he want to go to Egypt? Is Macedonia north of Egypt? Yes. Believe me, Beloved, he wanted to go there for he saw the future of Egypt, how grand it would become. He did not see its demise and its decadence. He saw only the positive aspect of a new frontier. It was not in vogue to go south for retirement and there to die, as it is within your country, yet he did go forth south to his city of retirement which was a city that had to be built, Alexandria, therein his body to be interred.

Egypt, north Egypt, represents the higher aspect of man's evolutionary process, his higher being, the higher chakric syste1n, his higher senses of spirituality and of attainment, assumption. Southern Egypt, in the south portion, represents the lower natures of man's ani1nalistic attempts, yet it was the riches that were brought out of the south just as the riches of energy generated in the

2 Exodus 7:1-25; 8:1-32; 9:1-35; 10:1-29, 11:1-10

lower chakras bring to the higher chakras the motivating energy to be released and to open wide and make use of the force, kundalini. Thus we can take Egypt as an example and from it we can point to many different aspects of other cultures, religions, economic systems and anything else you wish to discuss.

" ... we will consider the subject of kundalini and the spine .... The merging of the fires of matter and the fires of mind result in the energising of the sumtotal of the atoms of the matter of the body. This is the secret of the immense staying power of the great thinkers and workers of the race. It results also in a tremendous stimulation of the three higher centres in the body, the head, the heart, the throat and in the electrification of this area of the body. These higher centres then form a field of attraction for the downjlow of the third fire, that of Spirit. 11 3

The upper and the lower Nile represent the higher aspect of man and of Egypt, and the lower, the lower natures. Man has positive and negative existence within him or else he could not operate. Yet, and only when he wears the crown of the upper and the lower is it balanced and is he ruler supreme. And who was the first to wear the crown of the upper and the lower Nile?

Why are you here? Many of you are out of Egypt, having been there. Many of you do not know me; many of you do. Many of my own children know me not, for I have blended with my son, Timotheus. And who is he, and what is he? What makes him different and why is he that which he is? And why is he not as other men? There are those that sit here that can answer that, but to answer it truly would shock many. Even some that are full in agreement would not agree with it being voiced or believe in most things, but cannot accept this. But behold, I have a scripture to prove and to show and point in the direction, particularly for you, Marcia, beloved Betsy, and others.

The son of man is one that would suffer and did, as Sananda J esu Jesus, to become the son of God, as all are sons of God, but to exemplify this in full exemplification. And He said that He would return, but did not say how many times. Misconstrued and conjectures say that He shall return only once. But behold, He is returned, and the process of illumination is going beyond its normal plan and scheme of illumination to mastery and shall go to the point and zenith--already it is reaching toward it--of having looked upon the face as did Moses, 4 having then the face to have to be covered even as he came into the presence for the light shall grow so great, and it shall be a light perceived by

those of psychism and those of eyes to see, as the OM, A UM, AHM, shall be heard continuously to those that have an ear to hear.

''All that can be hinted at is that at the eighth initiation the duality of thetriple A UM is brought out, and at the ninth the one sound of the Absolute standsrevealed, and its significance is heard and seen. This brings into theconsciousness of the initiate somewhat of the energy and power of the 'Oneabout Whom Naught may be Said,' or the Logos of our Solar Logos. The unit ofconsciousness is then perfect, as the Logos is perfect, and passes on to workparalleling that of the Solar Logos. Such is the great program and theopportunity reaching out before the sons of man, aye, and before every atomeverywhere. " 5

Then it is that you have your answer to where shall the White One come from. The White One is an essence. The White One is a spiritual essence influx that is bridging the gap and walking ever closer, and shall come into a prepared body completed in no way operating in competition but in complete and total unification and blending, peace and harmony. Peace and hannony may not be seen as an outward manifestation but if it is held within it is there ready, the vessel open. How many of you think that it is coincidental that I have mentioned Egypt so much, that my son has mentioned Egypt so much, that Alexandria is so Egyptian in its thinking, and that so many times I have utilized Egypt as an exemplification and carried you back there or brought you up to it? It is not a coincidence.

Out of Alexandria, this organizational structure, was prophesied that there would come one, not the first time, but also the second--the first and the second. The first time out of Egypt was called the son of man. The second time out of Egypt, which Alexandria is so Egypt, Egypt not of the negative aspect but of the positive, that out of that shall be called my son and the other witness. Go in your Scriptures as you have a need to, to Matthew, second chapter and fifteenth verse, and it shall explain that out of this organizational structure of Egyptian influence shall be called the son of man for the second time.

"Matthew 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. " 6

Out of Egypt before it was and fell into absolute decadence and ruination was called the son of man, there to be trained. There being educated, he was called back to his own. It is for this reason that he trained and was so trained in the

pyramid. It is for that reason that my son has so brought the wisdoms, as I have brought and given the wisdoms to you to be contained in Alexandria, to be studied, garnered, cleaved unto the bosom and fro1n sufficiency, sufficed upon in fullness and completion. Therefore, if two are called out of Egypt under one prophetic heading and one prophecy, are they not in all supposition, probability, plausibility, the same? And what does it say? And was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt have I called my son. "7 And each son, each soul being a son, has been called out of Egypt, out of the lower aspect to the higher, or out of Alexandria to be that prophesied, or out of Egypt to be that prophesied.

Egypt was colonized first by those of the priesthood and of the arts. Many from the Temple of One. It was set up like a monastery, but then later came the other people and they had to set up a community, then fro1n this she evolved and developed. After many years of being in that colonized state, they underwent detrimental, disastrous change in losing contact and communication, and became as foolish ones and ignorant ones, almost ani1nalistic, whereas and were as, then, the sons of Adam and Eve that married the daughters of Moab. It is then that the extraterrestrials came and returned again to them to lead and guide and head them, starting the lineage of Pharaoh and power and control.

Egypt represents monarchial rule of life and death within the hands of one. It represents cruelty, animosity, vindictiveness, plot against plot. It represents perversity and corruptness even in the lineage of Pharaoh. It represents little appeasement of spirituality, but a fumbling in different religious aspects and cult movements to find what was needed. It represents bondage, slavery. It represents iniquity, error, flaunting of riches. It represents wastefulness, arrogance. But of every one of these things I have said it represents, it was better than anywhere else in the world at that time that was had, and has a balancing point of goodness and goodliness.

I will tell you this, which is quite humorous and is not known, that the gold on the barge belonging to one of my descendents that was sent to meet and impress one of Rome, that's goal was to go to Rome, that would retrieve and bring back gold from Rome and is now buried in silt and shall never be found, but that barge did not carry her there.

The priesthood were trained in various edifices according to the order they were taken into. They were given as children to the priesthood for it was the second son or the first son, depending on the period, that was given ordinarily to the priest to have him scrutinized to see whether or not they would be taken into

7 Matthew 2:15

EGYPT AND ITS SYMBOLOGY 69

the priesthood and trained, or, any male child or girl child that showed extreme gifts in the arts of the gods--the psychic, metaphysical arts. These were taken in and trained. Not all were trained in the Sphinx. Not all were trained in the pyramids. These were but centers of training. Once being trained there, you could train in any edifice, a cave, a cavern or whatever. The same rites and rituals, the same teachings could be given again and again. Most of the rituals and rites were secretly held, and most of them became so confused it was as if one were trying to hold mass on the top of the Tower of Babel at the time that all spoke in a different language and were muted to the other languages spoken. Therefore, all of the religious went in different directions and they even forgot what they believed and what they taught. 8

Medicine was born again in Egypt out of recall from Atlantis and from certain manuscripts brought. It was in Egypt that, aside from the loss of Atlantis brought into actual existence surgery--surgery by amputation, brain surgery, the usage of small and tiny chisels for entrance into the skull and placing over these, plates. It is that they worked with the blood system. They understood anatomy, but it was hard to study anatomy from a medical standpoint because of the stigma attached. You had to first study mortuary science, so to speak; you had to therefore, then, be in the priesthood to have any dealing with dead bodies. Then in your later years when you were quite old you could become a doctor for you would have seen enough of the dead body during the embalming process to know what was in the living body. Then you could deal with it.

But they did perfect the opening of the cranium, of surgery and releasing of pressure, chiseling with a mallet and a chisel, often taking much longer than an afternoon and often having to design and to fashion their own tools, chisel and mallet.

Transfiguration was not symbolized in the hieroglyphic movement in one striking. It was symbolized in the flame, which you will not see very often.

"When the latent fire of the personality or lower self blends with the fire of mind, that of the higher self, and finally merges with the Divine Flame, then the man takes the fifth Initiation in this solar system, and has completed one of his greater cycles. When the three blaze forth as one fire, liberation frmn matter, or from material form is achieved. 11

It ordinarily has three prongs and is more often mistaken for a broken egg, or something similar to a lotus blossom unopened fully. This is one of the mistakes in hieroglyphic translation.

''As nine petals of a lotus, radiating from a common centre, and hiding within themselves three central petals, which conceal a central point of fire. The radiations from the tip of each petal are those which cause the illusion of a spheroidal shape. " 10

The land of Kent gave forth many things of armnatic quality and was a land of hunting. The women of Punt were known particularly for their training and were coveted as harem choices because of their armpits which were very aromatic. And the birds of Kent and Punt were cherished for their savory flavor. These were nome lands and land territories south. They gave tributes of gold and of women.

The priests help the soul leave the body at death and they help it in the transition afterwards by talking to it continuously while it was in the person. They talked to the person, they talked to the soul within, and they talked to the soul while it was taking leave. They chanted and they gave prayers from the time of death until the soul had left, and even afterwards, to make sure that it had left. This made it easier for it glided 1nore gently and it was aware. When someone was sick unto death, they began the process of letting them die, and it was a graceful thing to let them die with dignity and to comfort the1n and console them and talk to them through and beyond death.

There were priests who were gifted, and were able to accompany souls across the river. They did that by projection. But not every soul needed to be carried across, and there was in reality no river to cross. It was simply to carry you into the astral or the etheric and there see that you were put in the hands of another to help you adjust.*

"The etheric body is really a net-work of fine channels, which are the component parts of one interlacing fine cord,--one portion of this cord being the magnetic link which unites the physical and the astral bodies and which is snapped or broken after the withdrawal of the etheric body from the dense physical body at the time of death. The silver cord is loosed, as the Bible expresses it, and this is the basis of the legend of the fateful sister who cuts the thread of life with the dreaded shears." 11

"These builders work with certain elementals, but it is only upon the physical plane that any idea can be given as to their nature and work. These elementals are the little entities who, adhering to the plan as embodied by the builders, blindly construct the fabric of the body, and form the sheaths through which the Ego is to express himself. On the etheric planes they build the real ''form" out of 10 Bailey, Alice A. A Treatise on Cosmic Fire p. 818. 11

etheric substance, and produce the sheath of intricate lines of interlacing fiery strands, which is in reality an extension of the sutratma, or life thread. ... The work of the etheric elementals reaches its primary consummation when the sutratma is connected with the three centres of the physical nature within the cranium--the pineal gland, the pituitary body, and the alta major centre. Occultly, the most important connection is the entrance of the sutratma into the centre at the top of the head, that through which the life of the etheric body withdraws at the moment of death. " 12
