1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,880 In the simplest model of ancient Egypt, at least two concurrent simultaneous levels are 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,000 at work in any given instance. 3 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,520 One is the study of Egypt as a civilization that existed in a factual geographic place 4 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,800 and time. 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:27,040 It's people, mythology, social forms, it's chronological unfolding, it's monuments and 6 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,040 artifacts. 7 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:36,200 But this is only a backdrop or support for another Egypt, which might be called a quality of intelligence. 8 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,560 This Egypt is outside chronological consideration. 9 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,640 It is rather both an ever-present and recurring possibility of consciousness. 10 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:25,800 There are two different stories told about this same land, two different histories, 11 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,160 almost as if there were two Egypts. 12 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,360 His ancient land has always partaken of a dual nature. 13 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,080 The public face of Egypt is known the world over, entalled in every history book. 14 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,720 But there is another side of Egypt that is not so widely known, 15 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,160 Egypt is also a land of secrets. 16 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:55,400 Another history, a secret history, tells of Egypt as the inheritor of deep wisdom and 17 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,240 magical ability from an even earlier ancestor culture. 18 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,280 It is the account of the Egyptians themselves. 19 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,960 This alternate history is echoed by parallel accounts from the myth and history of other ancient 20 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,440 cultures as well as myriad secret societies and occult sources. 21 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:20,040 There are remarkable number of parallels in these stories, provides a unique window into this 22 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,080 other Egypt. 23 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:30,840 In this six-part series we will take a look at the shadowy history and magical practices of this other 24 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:40,200 Egypt. Egypt is the keeper of secrets, the land of riddles, the birth case of magic and the home 25 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,880 of the mystery schools. 26 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:51,320 As we join symbolist author and Egyptologist John Anthony West for a symbolist tour of 27 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,600 magical Egypt, we would explore not only the sacred sites, but the ancient teachings that 28 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,880 lie concealed there. We will see the ancient mysteries through a decoding limbs, a 29 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,920 cipher that brings the lost magic to life and returns to humanity that teachings and magic 30 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:13,320 about ancestors. I think it is possible to say that Egypt regarded the entire universe as an 31 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:20,760 active, a gigantic act of magic, the transformation of consciousness into the material universe. 32 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:33,080 Did ancient Egypt inherit its mysterious abilities from an even older culture, lost to history 33 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,080 and forgotten by the modern world? 34 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,440 The ancient Egypt was the first time in the world, and the ancient history of the ancient 35 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,720 history of the ancient Egypt. 36 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,360 Although Western civilization is generally considered to be the product of Greek and Roman 37 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:29,080 culture, the Greeks and Romans both acknowledge ancient Egypt as the source of great ancient wisdom, 38 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:34,200 a mysterious land of riddles whose secrets were considered the highest prize to some of the 39 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:42,200 greatest minds in history. Egypt was known to the ancient world as a repository of high knowledge 40 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:49,800 and magical practices. These universal secrets were contained and kept alive in the mystery schools. 41 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:56,120 The teachings of magical ability they imparted were held in the highest secrecy and reverence, 42 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,680 entrance to the temples that held the secrets as tightly restricted. They were the domain of 43 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,400 royalty, priests and privileged initiates. 44 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,600 Four fathers of modern thought, such as Pythagoras, Plato and others, tell of waiting more than 20 years 45 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,800 preparing before acceptance into the mystery schools. 46 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:27,400 The secret teachings were known as esoteric or occult or symbolist teachings and were held 47 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:33,880 to contain the secrets of the universe and the keys to great magic. Those who were allowed to 48 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,640 receive the revelations of the mystery schools often went on to become history's greatest minds 49 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:46,600 and a whose who of historical movies and shakers, Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Galileo, 50 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:54,760 Copernicus, Devintu, Kepro, Isaac Newton, Napoleon, they were rewarded for their pursuit of the 51 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,400 ancient wisdom was not just knowledge but a new way of thinking that allowed them to write 52 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,920 their names in human history. There is even mentioned of Jesus returning from Egypt, 53 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:10,440 is not only a profound knowledge of esoteric study but the ability to perform miracles. 54 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,560 A metacism and a light in shambhaithametica were held to be the western retelling of the 55 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,520 wisdom from the mystery schools. They contained or be it in a degenerated form, 56 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,840 strains of the ancient wisdom set to have been passed down from the gods. 57 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:37,640 There are fragmentary hermetic texts dating from dates and dispute but dating from 58 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:45,160 third-second first-century's AD in which the language and mode of expression is ancient Greek, 59 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:53,560 but the subject matter is if not entirely largely derived from or actually 60 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:02,600 a part of the ancient Egyptian doctrine of the transformation of the soul. This is the basis 61 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:10,920 of the hermetic belief and it then proliferates into those various disciplines. Rises is practiced 62 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:19,000 in one form or another in throughout Islam percolates up into Western Europe in the Italian 63 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:26,920 Renaissance and then occupies much of the minds and hearts and studies of the major Renaissance 64 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:34,200 figures up to and including Isaac Newton who actually spent much more time of his life studying 65 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:40,360 alchemy and number of symbolism than he did studying what would now be modern science. This is an 66 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,880 acknowledged fact that is seldom acknowledged by modern scientists but this is a matter of fact 67 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:55,640 Newton might be called not one of the last certainly but one of the most eminent of the hermeticists. 68 00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:01,400 Although today in much of the Western academic world the symbolist interpretation of ancient 69 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,440 Egypt is vigorously opposed in its ancestral form which was the object of great fascination 70 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,080 and in some cases obsession with some of the greatest minds and forces in human history. 71 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:29,080 The term mystery schools refers not to a specific place or time in ancient Egypt but the 72 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:34,280 timeless secret teachings passed down through word of mouth or sometimes encrypted into the 73 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:41,480 temples concealed and enshrined by the veil of higher glyphs and symbolism. What secrets were 74 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:48,520 held in the mystery schools been made them so important so sought after. One of the secrets of the 75 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:56,680 ancient mystery schools was an alternate history of human past that is cyclical. Civilisation, 76 00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:02,440 consciousness, understanding and ability, rising to incredible heights in the distant past and then 77 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,960 falling back into barbarism, again and again like the waves of high and low tides. 78 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,800 This story has resonance in all cultures in the stories of the flood or the periodic 79 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:21,080 catastrophes from many ancient myths. In this alternative model of our past a vast accumulation of 80 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:28,040 knowledge and ability was inherited from previous epochs. A legacy of high wisdom from an incredibly 81 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,800 distant past is the source of the mysteriously powerful and unexpained accomplishments of the ancients. 82 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:41,800 A accomplishments which even by today's standards seem in scope and operation to be nothing 83 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,560 short of feats of magic. 84 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:05,640 Ancient Egypt wheeled a mastery over the material world that bordered on the supernatural. 85 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,960 It seemed at times almost alien. It's art and architecture showing not only in understanding 86 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,760 but an eerie control of the invisible forces and building blocks of our material world. 87 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:23,400 Rightly considered powerful and dangerous tool, it was guarded with the utmost secrecy. 88 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:29,480 Some priests accepted death before debolging the secrets to concrete Roman user-per-fairos. 89 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,040 Where did they learn the science behind these incredible acts and strange are still? 90 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:42,280 How could these abilities just appear seemingly complete at the very beginnings of Egyptian history? 91 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,800 Where did the knowledge come from? 92 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,280 The Egyptians, both ancient and modern, remain curiously silent on this topic. 93 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,680 Egypt seems to have started out at its height and gradually declined, like a copy of a copy of 94 00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:01,480 a copy of a copy over the centuries. The mysteries held a little less with each successive 95 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:07,080 retelling. In an attempt to guard the magic from abuse at the hands of the profane public, 96 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,840 the mystery schools went into hiding. The ancient secrets were shrouded in allegory and 97 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:18,280 symbol and placed under the guardianship of various streams of initiatic and secret societies. 98 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:24,360 In time, it appeared that many, if not all connections to the original source were severed 99 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,720 or so diluted, that the true mysteries were lost to history. Over the millennia, the temples 100 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,600 fell into ruin and eventually so did the teachings they enshrined. When the great library of 101 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,880 Alexandria was burned, all hoped we connection to the wisdom of the past, so lost. 102 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:50,920 When we return, we look at an unusual man who rekindled the lost magic and returned to the 103 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,760 modern world, the teachings and wisdom of the ancient mystery schools. 104 00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:11,080 The secrets and magic of the mystery schools seemed lost to history. When in 1937, 105 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,920 a most unusual man, again reopened a window into this culture and the magical technology that 106 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:24,360 was his legacy. R.H. Fwalla-Dulubits was a Latter-day alcanist, as well as an accomplished mathematician, 107 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,400 chemist author and philosopher. Schwalla opened a window into the lost magic and 108 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,920 mentality of the ancients. Through an ingenious reinterpretation of the evidence, Schwalla 109 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:40,120 recreated a model of ancient Egypt that resurrects the ancient secrets from modern eyes. 110 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:46,760 Understanding the mentality of the ancient world, through the decoding lens of symbolism, 111 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:52,440 Schwalla showed the Egyptians were not the superstitious savages, modern Western academic thought 112 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:59,160 holds them to have been. Instead, he showed example after example of high wisdom and accomplishment, 113 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:05,400 not only equalling that of modern science, but in some instances far surpassing modern abilities. 114 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,920 The key that unlocked the ancient veil lie in a slight change and perspective of mindset. 115 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,840 As one learns to enter the mindset of pharaohonic Egypt, the cryptic message from the past 116 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,920 comes to life that allows access to previously invisible and unimaginable realms of consciousness 117 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:37,160 understanding and ability. The crux of the old teachings was contained and transmitted through 118 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:44,120 what Schwalla called sacred science, which includes symbolism, harmonic proportion, and sacred geometry. 119 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,640 Sacred science was the original unified source of the myriad screams of modern mysticism, 120 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:56,280 occultism, esotericism, and magical disciplines that exist today. It is also the unified source 121 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:02,440 for such diverse contemporary sciences as chemistry, physical science, philosophy, medicine, 122 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:09,960 astronomy, geometry, architecture, music, and mathematics. Through the lynchpin of sacred sciences, 123 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:15,640 Schwalla not only showed an original unity of the material sciences, but even shared new 124 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:21,320 light on such shadowy subjects as the taro, astrology, and many, many other forms of magic. 125 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,920 Schwalla spent over a decade on sighted Luxor Temple, which would come to be known as the Temple 126 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:41,160 of Man. He was here that he performed his master work. A lot of day Renaissance man, 127 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:49,000 he was born in the 1890s died in the early 1960s and was another thing, a practicing 128 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:55,720 Latter-day alchemist and very much deeply involved in alchemy. He was also thoroughly 129 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,920 conversant with the esoteric and mystical traditions of the East and at the same time, 130 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:07,880 equally conversant and familiar with the modern developments in science, mathematics, physics, 131 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:15,960 and so it was Schwalla who in two decades of work in Egypt mainly at the Temple of Luxor, 132 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:24,920 who reformulated and transmitible and accessible fashion with the wisdom of the ancients. It is 133 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:31,800 through Schwalla that we are able for the first time to actually gain access to the doctrine, 134 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:39,560 the sacred science or sacred sciences, responsible for those astonishing resonating temples, 135 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:45,240 pyramids and tomb. Prior to Schwalla there was a long-standing tradition dating back to the Greeks 136 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:51,400 themselves in which Ancient Egypt was the founder of wisdom, which subsequently degenerated 137 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:59,000 and dispersed over time. But prior to Schwalla it was impossible to actually argue 138 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,520 from documented evidence that this wasn't indeed the case. Schwalla provides the documentation 139 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:12,120 in impeccable form. It's there to be disproved if anyone can do so in the 50 years since Schwalla 140 00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:19,640 produced the body of his work. A number of scholars have abused him roundly, but none have actually 141 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:26,600 offered anything resembling satisfactory, disproved or discredit to his extraordinary works. 142 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,160 In its own way the Temple of Man was a kind of Rosetta stone. It contained a means within 143 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:39,080 itself, while it did decode and reconstruct the layers and subtleties of the symbolic and sacred 144 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:45,560 technology of the Ancient Mysteries. Schwalla showed that the Temple was not just the location of 145 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:51,160 the teaching, but was itself the teaching. It's hieroglyphics and harmonic proportions contained a 146 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:57,320 catalog of the occult laws, sacred geometry and archetypal forces that combine to make the universe 147 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:04,360 and its culmination living man. Through a chain of analogies, occult correspondences, 148 00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:10,440 sacred geometry and symbolism, the Temple itself becomes the actual technology through which one can 149 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:16,360 undergo the initiation process and begin to experience the mentality and magic of the ancients. 150 00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:22,680 When correctly interpreted, the Temple echoes and amplifies the great archannon as above so below. 151 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:28,040 Man and the cosmos can be seen to be magically analogous, governed by the same rules or sacred 152 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,840 geometry, each and octaves of the other. 153 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:44,760 After Schwalla's death, the torch was picked up by a new generation of symbolists, 154 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:50,600 or the most venerated of whom is John Antony West. West brought the obscure French work to the 155 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:56,280 public eye in the Sybilist classic serpent in the sky. West not only rekindled Schwalla's 156 00:18:56,360 --> 00:19:01,320 revelations, but built upon them in a manner that acted like a fool from upsetting the stoic 157 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:07,800 worlds of archaeology, theology and science. When serpent was published, shockwaves erupted as an 158 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:13,160 evidence bomb that lay in full view of all of the very sight of the greats' finks exploded. 159 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:19,160 An observation by Schwalla mentioned in passing caught West's attention. Schwalla noticed and recorded 160 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,920 the fact that vertical fissures cut deep into the walls of the Sphinx enclosure, West consulted 161 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:31,320 Boston University Geologist Robert Schott, his intuition was confirmed. These vertical fissures were 162 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:37,560 unmistakable signs of precipitation in juiced erosion. They were the telltale sign of exposure 163 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:43,320 to years and years of rain, but it hasn't rained in the Sahara desert since before the Ice Age. 164 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,200 Could this be proof that this finks or at least this finks in closure was the product of an 165 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:54,120 even older civilization? Predating the catastrophic events at the end of the last Ice Age? 166 00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:03,080 We believe that our spinks there, the water weathering of the Sphinx is evidence of those 167 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:11,000 of that earlier civilization. Until or unless the water weathering of the Sphinx is adequately 168 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:19,080 explained within the context of accepted chronology of ancient Egypt, it remains a thorn in the 169 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:25,560 side of orthodoxy because until it is explained, it seems to suggest that, over a strongly 170 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:31,560 suggests, that the Sphinx was there prior to those catastrophic events that put the rest of the 171 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:38,040 civilization down and there are the bits and pieces of geological evidence and architectural evidence 172 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:43,720 that we believe supports the theory of an advanced or let us say again within carefully within 173 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,920 inverted quotes and Atlantean civilization. But this is the big issue whether or not they 174 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:54,600 was such a civilization. We have of course on the textual side we have played us account 175 00:20:54,600 --> 00:21:01,960 to Atlantean that supposedly came to him from his grandfather Solon who himself got it from an 176 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,440 Egyptian priest. This would be somewhere around six or seven centuries, these are somewhere that 177 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:12,440 kind of area. And of course we also have throughout the world, around the world everywhere in 178 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:18,120 the higher or more sophisticated civilizations as well as in the mythologies and legends 179 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:24,760 of widely separated traditional societies. We have accounts, virtually all of them have accounts 180 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:33,080 of a denuege. A denuege is a common place and in many of them if not in all, there are also references 181 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:39,960 to vanished civilizations, vanished high levels of civilization, golden ages in the past and the 182 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:46,920 ubiquity of these stories is enough to make, I would believe, and he's serious scholar at least 183 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:53,160 holding open mind to the possibility that these advanced civilizations did indeed exist and that they 184 00:21:53,160 --> 00:22:01,640 did indeed go down or disappear virtually entirely under the catastrophic conditions prevailing 185 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:09,160 for several thousands of years following the event, whatever it may have been or events, that 186 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,600 initiated the melting of the ice and the dissolution of the last ice age. 187 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,840 After years of research and study, John not only brought new life to the work of Schuala, 188 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,800 but his himself become an icon for a new generation of esotericists and simbolists. 189 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,360 In addition to the bombshell water-weathering theory, he has become a veritable compendium of 190 00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:41,000 symbolist theory and history. His research is ongoing and to this day his onsite tours and lectures 191 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,360 continue to be a wellspring of revelations about this ancient land and the magical secrets it 192 00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:53,800 still holds. As we join West Forest symbolist tour of Egypt, we begin to glimpse the magic and 193 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:59,880 mysteries still waiting here, encoded into the ruins or the preserved seeds of a technology and 194 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:05,560 mentality that by comparison to even modern standards are at the far edge of comprehension. 195 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,960 When seen through symbolist eyes, the revelations of the ancient mystery schools come to life again, 196 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,200 often causing a personal transformation from which there is no return. 197 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,280 Florence Nightingale, surprisingly enough, one of the one of the most perceptive of the visitors 198 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:29,640 to Egypt in 1850, wrote one wonders that people can come back from Egypt and live lives the way they 199 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:37,560 live them before. This proves to be the case 150 years later, it's very rare that anybody who takes on 200 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:44,040 16 days in Egypt on one of these magical Egypt tours comes back home unchanged. 201 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:50,920 Far from being a lost dead technology, the temples continue to perform their function of inducing 202 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:56,680 initiation. It is difficult to distinguish between witnessing the majesty and mystery of the temples 203 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:02,600 and participating in the transformative process oneself. We're confronted by temples, 204 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:11,000 by artwork, by pyramids, by structures that evoke in us a kind of emotion that is very hard to 205 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:18,680 ascribe to mere superstition or emancipation romance. These temples are based upon principle 206 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:25,320 that are in fact sacred sciences. They are, let us say, the science of their mortality, 207 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:32,840 the science of obtaining eternal life and the sacred sciences are a kind of knowledge, very different 208 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:41,160 from our kind of knowledge, but scientific nonetheless based upon, based upon readily 209 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:48,600 communicable principles and these principles embodied in these spectacular temples, 210 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:57,080 tombs, pyramids, artwork and so on. These principles evoke in us the sense of the eternal 211 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:04,760 of the divine, of the sacred and they are, we might say, all of these temples are means of accessing 212 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:13,400 that higher consciousness that we, by birthright, have access to but by if left to our own devices, 213 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:21,320 leading our normal work of day lives, we don't readily access, in many cases don't access at all. 214 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:28,440 An exposure to the sacred science residing here often causes spiritual stirrings and many other phenomena 215 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:35,080 normally considered supernatural. It is sometimes as if this old magic is transmitted to us through our eyes. 216 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,800 It's spell is cast through sacred geometry and volume. The harmonic proportions and 217 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,760 higher-regalists speak into our normal faculties, while operating simultaneously on a higher 218 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:51,080 octave to awaken and reconnect us to our higher symbols. The experience sometimes referred to as 219 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:58,280 waking up. The sacred sciences that fueled or that underpinned, these temples involved mathematics, 220 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:05,240 philosophy, religion, art and in fact, ancient Egypt, perhaps the greatest of these ancient 221 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:12,440 civilizations or in any event, it's the ancient civilization to which we have most access. 222 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:19,480 It's left us the greatest legacy of sacred art and architecture. This was a profound doctrine 223 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:27,000 that fused art, religion, philosophy and science into one inextricable whole, whereas in our society, 224 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:34,920 art, religion, philosophy and science are separate disciplines with little or no relationship 225 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:40,760 to each other. In ancient Egypt, they were inextricably in twine, so there was no art. 226 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:46,440 That wasn't religious, no religion. That wasn't philosophical, no philosophy. That wasn't scientific, 227 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:53,240 no science. That wasn't art. When we are in the presence of one of these Egyptian temples, 228 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:59,800 we are whether voluntarily or involuntarily put into the presence of the divinity or the 229 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:06,520 principle to which that temple is consecrated and whether we like it or not, we respond often 230 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:12,760 with awe and wonder. And this awe and wonder is not that a say and artifact of our 231 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:19,400 susceptible imagination or romanticism on our part. It's an example of the high science of the 232 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:26,280 ancients, a sacred science. The sacred science, the timeless wisdom of the mystery schools, 233 00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:31,800 the secrets of the invisible college and the keys to powerful magic have been preserved 234 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,440 enshrined behind a veil of harmony, proportion, myth and symbolism. 235 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:46,520 It's said that symbolism is the first veil. The initial student of the mysteries begins his 236 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:53,720 path with this most important tool through an understanding of symbolism the old wisdom is revealed. 237 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:05,640 The symbols speaks to a different part of the brain than does ordinary writing or language. 238 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:12,200 The right brain, the intuitive non-verbal visual brain which deals with spatial and abstract 239 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,800 relationships with intuition and the subconscious. The part of the brain that is not bound by 240 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:23,480 rational linear logic perhaps the part of the brain which is hooks to our higher cells, 241 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:30,280 our innate divinity. The enigmatic language of symbolism serves as a bridge between the two modes 242 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:36,360 or polarities of intelligence described by Schwala as such. It goes beyond language to become a 243 00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:42,440 sort of user-evolving technology as the symbol promotes the cooperation and coordination, 244 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:48,840 the simultaneous and unified interworking of the two hemispheres of the brain. This is one aspect 245 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:57,080 of the alchemical arcanum of the Androgym. The union of the Sun and Moon. The true dweller in two 246 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:02,920 worlds partakes of a kind of dual intelligence, the separating discriminating intelligence of 247 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:09,160 logical reason and the unifying integrating intelligence of intuition and recognition, 248 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:14,680 instinct and inspiration. Through the balanced coordination and simultaneous wielding 249 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:21,720 of both types of intelligence a new formally invisible world opens to us. The ancient technology 250 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,120 of hieroglyphic symbolism becomes a kind of evolutionary step ladder, 251 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,160 optimizing and empowering the mind of the user. 252 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:49,080 Every gesture, every costume, every headdress, every implement used in these reliefs 253 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:54,520 will have a specific meaning that will communicate holistically, instantaneously, 254 00:29:54,520 --> 00:30:02,600 to the beholder or to the initiated beholder at any rate. So the symbol is actually a very brilliant 255 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:09,960 and sophisticated means for transmitting very complex meanings, 256 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:18,280 universally, but the understanding of that meaning will depend upon the level of expertise or 257 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:24,520 initiation of the holder. Symbolism allows the mind to intuitively see what is not directly 258 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,960 visible in the material world around us. The symbol at once contains not only a specific 259 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,000 object or concept but also a bundle of invisible qualities and tendencies that it embodies. 260 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:43,080 The Egyptians commonly use birds, animals, plants for certain symbolic for their own symbolic 261 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:51,400 reasons. And when you look into them you find that the bird animal plant or whatever is taken from 262 00:30:51,400 --> 00:31:00,040 real life but it is the embodiment itself of certain principles. For example, a bird flies. This is 263 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:06,840 what we associate with birds. So we'll symbolize the volatile, the principle of volatility 264 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:13,000 is associated with spirit in other words the ethereal. So the bird carries that complex of meaning 265 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:18,440 it's a big mistake to think that this is a carryover from earlier anemistic orautochemistic 266 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:26,360 or still more superstitious beliefs. Rather it is a very complex and sophisticated and scientific way 267 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:37,400 of giving of allowing the beholder access into the actual meaning, the abstract meaning of the 268 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:46,200 principles that are anchored by the material symbol, bird, lioness, dog, monkey etc etc etc. 269 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:02,440 As one becomes versed in reading symbolism one learns the art of looking past the visible symbol 270 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:08,200 to the underlying rules, the archetypes, the forces and our connections that it represents. 271 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,600 Because each symbol expresses an essential component of sacred science, 272 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,960 profound esoteric wisdom could be encoded and read from the symbolism held in higher glyphs 273 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:24,040 and reliefs as well as in the geometry, volume, proportion and number symbolism incorporated into 274 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:30,280 the temples. This symbolism acted not only as a repository of meaning but was itself a component 275 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:38,840 with magical technology. The symbol of the winged disk held a place of prominence over every door 276 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,960 in the ancient temples. The sheer ubiquity of the science speaks to it being deeply important to 277 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:53,960 the Egyptians, what did it mean? The incarnating or exciting spirit is symbolized as a winged 278 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:59,720 sun, an ancient emblem for the indestructible human soul both in birth and in death. 279 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,680 The symbol of the winged disk served as a constant reminder that just as the initiative entered 280 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:12,600 each room to perform a task and leave again that so was the spirit only temporarily housed on the 281 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:18,840 flesh. The more constant the attention to self-perfection, the greater the abilities and the next life, 282 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:27,320 the next world. This was the great work, the art of constructing and constantly working to 283 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:34,920 perfect the tower within. Like a shoehorned for the wandering mind, a continuously returned one 284 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:48,760 sorts to the work of preparing for the afterlife. In the symbolism of the snake, we get another 285 00:33:48,760 --> 00:34:00,920 glimpse into the sophistication and high wisdom of the ancients. Energy, which is modern physicists, 286 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:08,200 recognize as the sub-structure or the the the the primordial stuff of the universe, 287 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:16,200 is really another name for de-spiritualized, conquest consciousness. Energy manifests itself through 288 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:23,000 vibration, through polarity, through the sine wave, the ancients in all civilizations with thoroughly 289 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:30,920 cognizant of that and portrayed energy as or vibration often as a snake which 290 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:38,440 moving along the ground or through water in fact produces a sine wave. So the snake is the 291 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:47,080 perfect symbol and it is pretty much a universal symbol for unity, becoming duality and a 292 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:55,080 de-unity that becoming duality that is the cosmological basis of all valid, of all valid philosophical 293 00:34:55,080 --> 00:35:03,160 systems. Vibration of course is the means whereby the arts are transmitted to us, to our emotional 294 00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:08,520 faculties. This is obvious in music of course this is where we're most familiar with it, 295 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:17,560 vibration in the form of sound waves and orchestrated through volume and intensity and 296 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:24,120 tonality and key and so on. Music produces an emotional effect depending upon the piece of music. 297 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:31,000 The great poet, Gertta, called architecture, frozen music. This is not just poetically and metaphorically 298 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:38,600 true, it is actually true. A great temple of that matter of shopping mall communicates its meaning or 299 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:43,880 lack of meaning as the case may be entirely through vibration. We tend not to think of it that way 300 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:50,280 because it's visual vibration obviously color transmits itself. It's itself to us as visual 301 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:56,040 vibration. This we're accustomed to and we recognize but we don't think of architectural form. 302 00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:01,080 It's a static as vibration but it is indeed vibration and it communicates 303 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:12,040 exactly or anyway andologically exactly as does music through harmony, proportion, measure and geometry 304 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:19,400 which is the interplay of number. When scenes through the symbolist decoder, this voice from the past 305 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:24,120 suddenly begins telling the same story as the latest findings of modern science. 306 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:30,600 Our own forefront of understanding in many cases lies parallel to the oldest mysteries. 307 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,000 In some cases the old wisdom continues beyond where we ourselves have reached. 308 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,280 What else did they know that we have yet to learn? 309 00:36:54,360 --> 00:37:03,080 To truly enter the temple, a change in mindset must occur. This is sometimes referred to as the 310 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:08,840 process of initiation into the mysteries, the development of the intelligence of the heart. 311 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:15,400 The initials must learn to focus on the inside rather than the outside and look beyond the 312 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:22,520 visible to the invisible to what lies beneath and the world within. It's precisely the things we 313 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,160 don't see, we can't see that we're the secrets of the mystery schools. 314 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:34,120 Sometimes difficult concepts to grasp it can require an adjustment in thinking and perception. 315 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:39,480 As it focuses not on the physical material world but on its underlying causes. 316 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:46,760 The great mysteries concern the invisible laws, forces, archetypes and secret connections that 317 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:53,720 are the building blocks, the invisible templates of our reality. Perhaps the road map to 318 00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:58,280 operating in higher realms as well. 319 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:25,400 One of the most famous of the students of the mystery schools is the legendary Pythagoras. 320 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:32,600 Pythagoras waited in prepared for 20 years before his initiation into this science of the invisible. 321 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:38,920 It went on to start a revolution in thinking when he revealed to the perfane world another secret 322 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:44,760 of the Egyptian mysteries. In the simple and irrefutable science of geometry, 323 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:51,480 like the secrets of the universe and of life itself. Pythagoras returned the lost key of 324 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:59,720 meaning to the alchemical maxim as above so below. The universe and man as the embodiment of the 325 00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:06,760 universe live and work by the same rules are brought into an out of existence by the same forces 326 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:14,120 and are both subject to the same laws. Each can be understood using the same maps. The shapes 327 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:21,720 and forces described by a sacred geometry are the road map and perhaps even the seed of life itself. 328 00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:28,840 In the design of the temple of Karnak, we observed first hand the sacred geometry that was the 329 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:35,560 source of Pythagoras's inspiration. The invisible science of the ancients was preserved and at the 330 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:43,320 same time veil behind the symbolism and measure of the temple. The temple itself was the embodiment 331 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:49,080 of the ancient teaching of the mystery schools. It's living walls in shrine and forever teach 332 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:55,640 and understanding of the deep secrets of creation. It's sacred geometry in shrines and mirrors 333 00:39:55,640 --> 00:40:02,680 the fundamental geometric laws that are the working schematics of the creator universe and life 334 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:10,680 within it. The temple is consecrated to armon the invisible, the animator of form, the breath of life 335 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:18,600 across the waters. The temple is the house of Amul. For a time it was the living body of Amul. 336 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:26,680 Over the 500 years span of its active life, the temple lived and grew by the same laws of sacred 337 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:33,720 geometry that govern organic life and growth. It was for a time animated by the voice of life. 338 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:40,600 It was host to Amul. The temple incorporates an archetypal or natural geometry that lies behind 339 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:48,200 all of life. This geometry is the result of a mysterious number pattern that occurs throughout 340 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:55,800 nature known to the modern world as the Thibonacci series. The invisible voice of life shows itself 341 00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:02,600 in the material world through an interplay of numbers and form. These primal archetypal forms 342 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:09,080 are the template and seeds of life. The sacred geometry expressed in the Thibonacci series 343 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:15,560 allows us to clearly see this invisible other world that is the mysterious source of life. 344 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:46,600 To better understand the role of the Thibonacci series and organic geometry in the world around us, 345 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:51,960 we met with Michael Schneider, also of a beginner's guide to constructing the universe. 346 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:58,840 Michael demonstrates the dynamic presence of the Thibonacci sequence in the living growing world. 347 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:05,240 Well the Thibonacci numbers refers to a sequence of numbers that grow by continual expansion, 348 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:11,960 but a very special balanced growth expansion. The mathematical definition of them 349 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:17,880 release an archetypal pattern starts off with the number zero and one zero sort of acts like a seed 350 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:24,600 in a sense. Zero and one and the rule is that each next term is the sum of the two previous terms. 351 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:32,280 So zero plus one, make one, one plus one, make two, one plus two, make three, two and three, 352 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:43,240 make five, three and five, make eight, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, and endless. But it's an expansive 353 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:51,960 pattern that shows organic growth patterns that occur off nature. The invisible fiebonacci spiral 354 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:57,880 shows itself in the visible world in the mortalish shell, the sunflower and the branching of trees. 355 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:02,520 This mathematical sequence charts nature's progress, organic spiraling growth, 356 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,440 the self accumulation. The appearance of the sequence, 357 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:11,320 invited by the Thibonacci spiral, golden spiral, and plants and walls or solar systems, 358 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,440 tells us that the Thibonacci sequence and fight ratio, underlying internal harmony, 359 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:21,160 excellence and dynamic balance during the inevitable growth and dissolution processes. 360 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:28,280 It is the play of life itself, clothe in the four states of matter. These characteristics are 361 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:33,880 the open secret of balance, the animal home, seashells, plants and galaxies. For example, 362 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:39,160 is the chambered modulus creature grows larger, the gland that exudes shell material also grows, 363 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:44,520 building a widening shell. The shell's golden spiral shape maintains the same center of gravity 364 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:51,080 at any size, so the modulus need not learn how to balance itself as it matures. The same is true 365 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:56,040 for the growing horns of a ram. As the horn material accumulates, growing larger and more 366 00:43:56,040 --> 00:44:02,120 massive, its golden spiral shape maintains the same center of gravity. Thus the ram need not 367 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:08,600 adjust its posture throughout life to a whole its growing horns. Similarly, the treat of puts out 368 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:13,720 branches and leaves and spiral staircases up and around the respective trunks, can get enormously 369 00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:18,760 large, get the tree always balances, and how massive and complex it grows to be. 370 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:27,320 So any kind of organic expansion will benefit from this kind of growth that incorporates balance, 371 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:32,600 physical balance. It will pack the most seed in these space. 372 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:40,680 Whenever you find these fibonacci numbers, you also find spirals. The benefit of spiral is a 373 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:52,680 course organic expansive growth. In a kind of a fashion that will also maximize all the benefits 374 00:44:52,680 --> 00:45:01,080 of the seed properties of life. The way they show up in the plant world, the plant world is 375 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:09,160 right. With these numbers, for example, in this artichoke flower, I will simply 376 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:20,200 I'll draw a mark so we know where we started on this. Now, count this row of petals as one 377 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:29,800 and one of these count feet numbers of parallel rows of petals. So there's one, two, three, 378 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:38,200 four, five, six, seven, eight, and then back at the beginning. So there are eight 379 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,520 rows leading this direction. But each petal plays a role in two directions. So I can also think of 380 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:52,440 these as spiraling this way. And if I count the numbers of parallel rows here, 381 00:45:52,440 --> 00:46:01,960 we'll count that as one, two, three, four, five, and back at the beginning. So there are eight 382 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:07,000 in this direction, five in that direction. That's what you'll find throughout nature. Two consecutive 383 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:16,120 fibonacci numbers, composing the same structure. And what this does, what this number pattern 384 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:25,080 does, is it gives perfect balance to the structure at its row. Not as a static structure. But 385 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:30,120 these fibonacci numbers and the spiral the logarithmic organic spiral that occurs with them 386 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:39,880 balances through growth transformation expansion. That's the idea of this. It's balanced 387 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:47,720 through growth and change through these numbers. It's an organic expansion from that you might say zero 388 00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:55,160 seed to as large as you like, but it's always going to have a self resembling property. The closest 389 00:46:55,480 --> 00:47:01,160 the logarithmic spiral is the closest definition to get to a definition of life. 390 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:08,680 The fibonacci numbers and the sake of geometry they produce seem to be the very voice of life. 391 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:14,520 When we return we'll see how these numbers were employed in ancient architecture to give life to the 392 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:27,320 temples. 393 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:39,240 As House of Life, consecrated to organic growth and the living world, it is difficult to imagine 394 00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:45,480 a more perfect template for the design of Karnak than those patterns governing and animating life itself. 395 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:57,960 To further investigate the presence of the fibonacci series in the design of Karnak, 396 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,680 we went to UCLA campus in Los Angeles. 397 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:12,680 We found a very rare print of a book containing architectural studies of sacred geometry and harmonic 398 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:19,720 design in the temples on model of the servents and Egypt. The book is the master work of architectural 399 00:48:19,720 --> 00:48:26,280 historian Alexander Badawi. It shows the temple of Karnak to be based upon the same fibonacci 400 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,560 number series that is the very voice of life. 401 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:44,200 This will end in this book of harmonic design Alexander Badawi, the art historian, 402 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:53,080 the architectural historian, the ecologist, the determinants that in the great temple of Karnak 403 00:48:53,080 --> 00:49:01,480 and just about everywhere else in Egypt, very sophisticated harmonic design is what's responsible 404 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:07,160 for the temples and it is the harmonic design that is in turn responsible for the effect of these 405 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:19,720 temples produce in Karnak in particular. The fibonacci series is employed in a variety of sophisticated 406 00:49:19,720 --> 00:49:27,320 and different ways and efforts in the fibonacci series in particular is related to the golden 407 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:34,520 section and to the processes of organic growth in this temple that is consecrated to the material 408 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:41,640 universality, that's any animated universe, particularly significant that the a mathematical 409 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:49,640 proportion that is found everywhere in nature and the way that things grow from some 410 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:55,480 polar seeds, the model of shells, this fibonacci series should be employed to determine the various 411 00:49:55,480 --> 00:50:01,880 proportions of the temple itself. 412 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:16,280 Specifically, consecrated to a dedicated to the principle of the creation of the organic world, 413 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:22,680 the living world and in keeping with God, not only is it a state of constant creation, 414 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:30,360 the temple itself is a kind of representation of ideal, but even actual 415 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:37,960 organic growth. The temple is consecrated to a moment and his role of animator of form, 416 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:42,360 of the breakfast, the stir-of-life across the waters. 417 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:52,200 One of the more primitively dependent on the solid-send of the valley, who was an expert on 418 00:50:53,160 --> 00:51:00,200 a specialist in architecture, worked out that the Fibonacci series is the template of the 419 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:11,000 temple upon which this entire gigantic construction is based and the western knowledge of the 420 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,560 the archaea, the archaea, just to me as a college, does not contest this finding, but what they don't 421 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:21,080 do is recognize its significance because that's a living in the battle, is that the Egyptians 422 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:27,400 are not only the ones that they know the Pippinacci spiral and series, but they understood for 423 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:34,360 well the role of that play and the organization of the organic world, that's something else again. 424 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:39,400 They know that, and they're talking about a very high and a sacred science, which is of course exactly 425 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:46,760 what they're trying to deny with them to lead to. So that's what's going on here in the 426 00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:52,200 district of the temple, and in the sector it's been found that Fibonacci series has been 427 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,440 found in other Egyptian constructions as well, but here's the best one, most of the free 428 00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:01,640 expression of it exactly in the temple that is actually in fact consecrated to organic, 429 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,640 the organic world, and that's something that we know the archaea then is done for now, 430 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:13,800 it's a function of this, and don't understand that it's part of a complete understanding of the genesis of 431 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:23,800 human beings. 432 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:30,840 Like so many things that was known in deep antiquity, that particularly when you see Fibonacci spiral 433 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:38,600 associated with a gigantic temple that is consecrated to the principle of organic growth that 434 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:44,120 become very interesting. The entrance to the temple is flanked by a colonate of ram-headed 435 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:51,480 sphinxes. The ram is symbolically associated with ummune, and aside from its astrological implications, 436 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:57,800 there's an embodiment of the Fibonacci spiral in this shape of its horns. The sacred geometry of 437 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:04,520 the Fibonacci series infuse the entire temple literally brought it to life. The temple is the 438 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:11,080 living embodiment of the numbers and patterns that are the very voice of life, the house of arum and 439 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:19,000 the body of arum. The harmonic design acted as a kind of magical technology affecting us, 440 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:25,000 changing us, inspiring us. Bridging the gap between the archetypal and physical worlds, 441 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:32,360 bringing us into the mindset appropriate to commune with the deity or netto which the temple was consecrated. 442 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:39,480 When understood in the true meaning of netto, arumun becomes the archetype, the embodiment of the 443 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:45,560 invisible forces, laws and forms of life, the physical expression of the laws of nature. 444 00:53:46,520 --> 00:54:05,960 Rudar's stino, an influential modern misty from the turn of the century, provides an insight into 445 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:12,920 the thinking and sophistication of the ancients through a thought exercise. Hold a seed in one hand, 446 00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:20,200 and a stone of similar size in the other. Look at them both and try to visualize how they are 447 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:27,080 the same and how they are different. When the breakthrough occurs, we suddenly see into a higher 448 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:34,920 dimension, the fourth dimension of growth. All living things live in an additional dimension of growth, 449 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:41,880 expansion, an organic change over time. As the living representation of the forces of life, 450 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:47,640 the temple of Karnag was itself alive, it existed in at least four dimensions. 451 00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:55,560 In a stunning but not isolated example of four-day architecture, the temple itself not only grew 452 00:54:55,560 --> 00:55:03,000 but grew in accordance with natural law. It was for a time, host to arumun. It was animated by 453 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:09,240 the wave of life, continuous construction passed down through the centuries like a torch from 454 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:16,280 one generation to the next. The wave of life passed through it as it did the successive generations 455 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:23,320 of those who worshiped within its living walls. Not only is it in a state of constant creation, 456 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:30,040 I think the earliest extent that the temple go from the state, from the middle kingdom, 457 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:35,960 most of it is new kingdom, some of it is Tala-Nag. I believe that every single ferro 458 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:44,440 has left some element or some piece of... Every single ferro did something here, some bit of 459 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:51,160 construction. Starts as old temples do with the Holy of Bowlies, the sanctuary and then grows out. 460 00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:56,520 But in this case it grows out sort of like an onion. In other words it's in layers that 461 00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:01,240 they'll continually out and out and out and out and out they're all together. Ten high lawns here. I 462 00:56:01,240 --> 00:56:07,960 think six this way and four that way. So it's continually expanding. Each one has to have 463 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,120 its stamp on this particular temple. Not one other temple, so other temples are built 464 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:20,440 often in one fell swoop and then additions are made after one or two but here every single ferro 465 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:26,520 does something or another. I think that's part of the overriding plan. Just 500 year extended exercise 466 00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:37,720 in the high magic. This is the science of the invisible, the invisible science, the science of 467 00:56:37,720 --> 00:56:47,000 worship, the worship of science. It is our hope that these brief glimpse into the ancient 468 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:53,160 sciences of the invisible will open a new pair of eyes trained not on the material every day 469 00:56:53,240 --> 00:57:00,840 world but on the realm of the neczer. On what lies beneath and what lies beyond 470 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,960 on the world behind the veil.
