The Great Pyramid is itself a model of the cosmos. The body of Osiris super-imposed onto the chambers of the pyramid with the crown chakra at the capstone and the root center at the base of the pyramid, places the King’s Chamber at the heart center and the Queen’s Chamber at the solar plexus. This shows the relationship of the microcosm to the macrocosm.
EGYPTIAN MYSTERIES INTRODUCTION
Looking at ancient Egypt as the source and foundation of western mysticism, her vast symbolic library of sacred teaching in her architecture and writing, there must be one that sticks out as representing the higher dimensions. We find it in the form of the Djed Pillar. In the Djed Pillar we have a representation of the body, specifically the spinal column, of Osiris, the resurrected or Perfected One. He is the divine aspect or neter of resurrection and return to our origin in the stars, thus the axis mundi of the world. It was thus the World Tree, the support of the universe. Known even today as the mystery of mysteries, Osiris himself represented the Path of Return as well as the guide, the ruler of the ”duat”, the area of the night sky, or underworld, home of the imperishable stars (never setting) that encircle the pole star. Upon death we each become Osiris, returning to the stars. The Djed was the ”stairway to heaven”…connecting heaven and earth. As such it is the model of the Kingdom, i.e. of multi-dimensional reality itself.
Traveling the dimensions requires the initiate to achieve a higher state of consciousness and to build a vehicle, a light body, to travel in. The solar boat is that vehicle in the Egyptian mysteries. It is called the “ship of eternity”, the “ark of a million years”…that sails on the waters of the Milky Way…the Duat. William Henry has proposed that the design of the solar boat is similar to a quantum wormhole, a stargate, with lotus vortex openings front and aft. The ascended one is the “feathered“ being-Osiris who sits on the solar boat on the (feathered) Throne in the form of the Cube of Space, which is also an ascension vehicle.
Djed Pillar as the mystical subtle body of Osiris has realigned chakras, nine in total, the number of energy bodies (see diagram). The upper four column capitals stand for the four higher chakras or energy centers of the body, realigned vertically as wheels on the axis of the world, from heart to crown of the ascending being. It is the light body of the ascended being. The dung beetle, Kepher, in the mantle pushes the sun ahead of it, thus is the symbol of RA, the rising sun. But also is the symbol of the ascending being rising sin the Djed column of light. Gatekeepers: Isis & Nepthys. These two neters, who enfold the pharaoh in his sarcophagus and stand as the columns at the entry pylon to the Temple, produce the geometry of the stargate with their wings. The initiates of this mystery were known as the Djedi Brotherhood, the stable ones, Pillars of the World, who served the planet and the plan at the end of the world age and who guarded and transmitted the secrets of the teaching. Thus, in this time of world change. it is time for the Djed to be raised in all of us again.
“The Djed is the supreme unifying symbol of all polarities, connecting us to the transcendent reality of the whole, the One. It symbolizes the macro and microcosmic “axis.” As the cosmic axis the Djed is the “cylinder,” the column of light linking the Earth to the pole star. It represents stability because it aligns the North Pole of Earth with the still-point of the revolving “dome” of the heavens-the pole star.“ In the same article, “The Raising of the Djed,” 1995, she goes on to say: “From the geodetic and astronomic perspective, the raised Djed is the fixed reference point which makes firm the bond between Heaven and Earth, evoking geophysical stability at a time of increased potential for Earth changes.” She also reminds us that: “according to the texts of the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the Djed served its greatest purpose and revealed its greatest mystery at the ending of one world age and the beginning of another.”
MoiRa Timms
The djed column and its rituals represent one of the deepest mysteries of ancient Egypt dating back to pre-dynastic times as does the Egyptian Book of the Dead which identifies it the Djed as the backbone/spine of Osiris, thus stability, regeneration and continuity but moreover it was the axis of the world, the djed was the World Tree the support of the universe. (i.e. giving structure to the cosmos). Intiates of the Djed mysteries were known as the Djedi, the stable ones, pillars of the world. The Djedi was the enlightened man, the light body of the divine being represented by the Osiris.
According to legend the first Djed was raised by the Nun as a conduit for the neters between heaven and earth, thus a series of inter-dimensional portals. Each level had is pair of gatekeepers: Shu /Tefnut, Geb/Nut, Osiris/Isis and Set/Nepthys.. Altogether they were organized as the First and Second Companies of neters positioned on either side of the pillar into the first Tree of Life. In the central axis were placed first Atum, then RA/Thoth/Ptah and Amon, the creators, Horus, The Pharaoh and Mankind, ascending, evolving back to Source up the stages of the pillar. Raising the Djed was celebrated by the pharaoh annually at the winter solstice and at times of crisis or change, to re-establish order and maintain stability of earth and its energy grids. But the secret of the Djed is that it symbolized the resurrection of Osiris, representing the resurrection of the fragmented spiritual self, a rebirth in Light, in Wisdom and Spirit, was to re-establish the Path of Return. It symbolized the victory of order over chaos and evil…of Osiris over Set.
The legend tells us that jealous Set killed Osiris cutting him up into 14 pieces…the fifteenth being his genitals. Through magic Isis reassembles Osiris‘ body in order to conceive Horus. The magic square of Saturn having three rows and columns of the primary integers all sum to 15. Connecting the numbers in order produces the geometry of the stargate centered on the number 5, of perfected being.
With Horus the neters make ten, the sephiroth of the Tree of Life. Horus represents the destiny of Man becoming divine following the path up the central column of the Djed becoming Horus, Osiris, Ra and Thoth/Maat in succession. The neters in the outer left and right columns are ten the gatekeepers for the ascending stage of spiritual evolution.
Thus there are four orders of Egyptian gods
1. Prime creators, Atum, Thoth, Ptah, Amun- the self created ones who emerge from the Void, the waters of the Nun to create the creators of manifest reality.
2. Creators of the Universe: Shu, Tefnut, Geb Nut and RA, the first Company.
3. The 2nd Company: Osiris, Isis, Set, Nepthys and Horus: aspects of the creator gods.
4. Lesser gods over 2000: who represent forces and processes in nature.
The path of union with the Supreme Intelligence then must involve an integration of each of these divine aspects in sequence like climbing the Tree of Life or the Planes of the Kingdom. (See diagram) Raising the Djed re-polarizes/realigns the chakra system and opens the crown to the higher dimensions.
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN MYSTERIES

Egypt-The Nile River
Egypt…the land of Kemi, the ‘Black Land”, of mystery. arises out of the mists of prehistory around 3000 B.C. a fully developed civilization with language, arts, architecture, technology and a sophisticated culture and religious system. It is to become the foundation of the mystical tradition in the West. What appears to be a preoccupation with death and the after life, would become a legacy of mystical teaching of the immortality of the Soul, man’s origins in the stars, man’s subtle energy bodies and the existence of higher dimensions of being. Death was seen as a transition to a hufger state of being. It is this that attracted spiritual students from all over the civilized world: Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Pythagoras, Moses and Jesus. Her influence lasted until the burning of the Library of Alexandria in 391 AD. It was perhaps her isolation bounded by deserts and the Mediterranean Sea which protected her from invasion for the first 1000 years of history that allowed a focus on spiritual matters. Mummification and the funerary rites associated with it are universal in the cults to prepare the deceased for the return journey to the stars and new life. According to ancient historians Egypt was a colony of Atlantis and inherited the wisdom and teaching of that ancient civilization that totally submerged in a flood about 12,500 BC. The list of Egyptian kings recorded on a wall in the Temple of Osiris in Abydos goes back some 36,000 years.

Pyramid of Unas Saggara
Pyramid Texts
The ancient Egyptians believed their country was a microcosm of the cosmos, the image of heaven mapped on the ground. The Nile was the river of stars of the Milky Way galaxy, but also represented the spine and brain of the Divine man. The pyramids and temples represented specific stars by the location along the Nile and certain energy centers of the subtle body called chakras. Encoded in these structures and sacred writings and hieroglyphs was a teaching of the mystery of mankind’s origins in the stars and his return through a sequence of stargates between lifetimes…the Path of Return. The ancient Egyptians had profound scientific knowledge and there was no separation between religion/science and politics. It was all a piece of the Egyptian mindset. We are looking at scientific as well as spiritual formulas when we view the art & architecture.
What remains of most ancient civilizations is its architecture, particularly its temples, many of which are in pyramidal form. These shapes along with colonnaded temples are known to conduct and/or hold a kind of subtle telluric energy due to their sacred geometry. These structures encoded the ancient measures and religious teachings of each culture. In addition to temples and pyramids and their inscriptions in Egypt, we have a extraordinary amount of surviving writings and artifacts from tombs and coffins which also transmit these teachings:

Tomb of Tutmosis III-12th Hour of the Duat-Valley of the Kings
• Pyramid Texts (Old Kingdom): Inscriptions on the walls of the inner chambers of certain pyramids at Saqqara, principally that of the Pharaoh Unas, which directed the pharaoh in the path of return through the Duat, the imperishable stars. The utterances and names primarily magical spells. Such also were instructions for the initiate. (See INITIATION)
• Coffin Texts (Middle Kingdom): Magical spells, charms and utterances of power written on or inside coffins or on enclosed papyrus scrolls, instructing and protecting the deceased on it’s journey through the underworld-astral planes and the judgment by Osiris. “The deceased becomes the divine being when he lifts himself to the sky.” Utterance 539 The purpose of mummification was to preserve the body for return.
• Valley of the Kings (New Kingdom): The various books of instruction found on the walls in the tombs of the Valley of the Kings such as the Book of What is in the Duat, the Amduat, (the underworld or night stars) the Book of the Dead (or “of Coming Forth Into Day”), and the Book of Gates (or Book of Hours). This is generally a New Kingdom text describing the journey of the Soul through the 12 twelve hours of the Duat, (star field) each of which has a Gate guarded by a female goddess. Between the 6th and 7th hour there is an abyss containing the serpent Apopis, whose long body surrounds the firmament. This book instructed the Pharaoh in the nature of the portals between dimensions, its gatekeeprs and names which opened the gates. The pharaoh traveled to the stars on a vehicle called the solar barque, the “Boat of Eternity”, as did RA as the sun, on his daily passage across the sky.

Solar Barque of Ramses 1
Note: The monotheistic solar cult of Aten established by Akenaten in the beginning of the New Kingdom at Tel El-Armana was considered a heresy and is typically excluded fro the cult centers. Little remains of it. There are however a number of minor center that arose in the delta of the Nile during times of invasion as Egypt became infused with foreign beliefs and culture..
Book of Gates: 12 hours/gates guarded by 12 goddess’. Between the 6th and 7th hours there is an abyss in which resides the cosmic serpent, that must be traversed, requiring something like a “quantum leap”.
Cult Centers-Mystery Schools
The ancient Egyptians believed in a prime creator of the manifest reality called RA or Re in the Heliopolis cult, who was created by an un-manifest source, Atum, who remained in the void. It was primarily Ra who created the world and mankind out of the chaos. From these two a pantheon of gods and goddesses were created called Neters, who represented specific cosmic attributes or principles…aspects of activity of the One Supreme Being. The neters were represented symbolically in human form, sometimes with animal heads, and/or wearing a headdress, which symbolized their function. These beings were believed to have ruled ancient Egypt before recoded history in the “zep tepi”, the “first time”, but remained in higher dimension to maintain order in the world. The neters represent aspects of activity of the One Supreme Being. The path of union with the Supreme Intelligence then must involve an integration of each of these divine aspects in sequence like climbing the Tree of Life or the Planes of the Kingdom. The Pharaoh was also considered to be divine, becoming Osiris upon death. He modeled the ascended being, showing the way through portals between dimensions, the way to heavens, following the instructions given in the sacred Texts, and thus the surrogate for all mankind in the process of ascension.
“O King, you are this great star, the companion of Orion, who traverses the sky with Orion, who navigates the Duat with Osiris; you ascend from the East of the sky..”
— Utterance 466, Pyramid Texts

Book of the Dead: Judgment before Osiris, The Papyrus of Ani
The teaching of this cosmology developed in slightly different forms in four cult centers or mystery schools that arose at various times and places in Egyptian history.
Heliopolis Triad: Osiris-Isis-Horus with the pharaoh.
Neters of the Ennead
Atum: Prime creator becomes
RA, creator of the universe
Shu: Air or space
Tefnut: Moisture or time
Geb: Earth
Nut: Heaven
Osiris: Afterlife & resurrection
Isis: Life, growth and magic
Set: Chaos, darkness
Nepthys: Decay and death.

RA- is represented by a hawk headed human figure with a crown of a disk, surrounded by a serpent symbolizing the bounded universe.
Heliopolis (Cairo): In the beginning, before anything, there was the abyss of primordial waters, the Nun, infinite undifferentiated, chaotic Void. It was infinite, unbounded, having no surface, nor shore. Atum, the self-created, the self-ordered One, differentiated or coagulated within the Void, emerging as a singularity, as does the Primal Hill that emerges from the annual receding flood waters of the Nile, reenacting the creation story. Atum began to move generating an oscillation or vibration-duality, making creation possible. And with that consciousness was born and Atum became self.
“I am he who came into being, being what I created, the creator of the creations.
After I created my own becoming, I created many things that came forth from my mouth” (i.e. by the word)
Atum creates the First Twain, spitting forth SHU-space/air and TEFNUT-moisture/time, who represent the primal division of unity. Male and female…they exist together as one body lost exploring the waters of the Void. ATUM sends forth the serpent Apopis from his 3rd eye to find them, encircling an area of the Void in which creation will occur in the process. He separates them in the second division of unity, she becomes the principle of World Order and he, Life. They then produce GEB (Hadit) and NUT (Nuit), male and female, in sexual embrace, he matter and she spirit. SHU as space, separates them so they may become Earth and Sky/heaven.

The nine neters of the Ennead of Heliopolis

Hermopolis: Ogdoad-8 Creators:
Solar Barque of RA

Memphis Triad: Ptah-Sekmet-Nefertum
Having created Shu and Tefnut, Atum returns to the waters, to the un-maniifest, hidden within space and time between SHU and TEFNUT. Atum leaves behind the process of creating the manifest world to RA, the Sun, the Principle of Light, becoming Atum-RA who flies up from the waters into the sky. Thus are created the first company of five neters-gods, Creators of the Universe and Plan, the archetypes and the cosmic and physical laws.
GEB and NUT then create the 2nd Company of neters: Osiris or Asar (order & immortality) and Isis (life & magic), Set (chaos(, and Nepthys (death & decay). These complete the Ennead, the Nine. Isis and Osiris beget Horus, the Divine perfect being, the King the archetype for evolving man. The vast drama of the Conflict between Light & Dark, or order and chaos, for control of planet earth, in the Egyptian mysteries takes form in a series of duals between Osiris and Set and later between Horus and Set. According to legend, Set kills Osiris…twice. The first time Set locks him in a coffin and sets it adrift in the sea. Eventually it comes to rest is a tree which Isis recovers. The second time Set dismembers him and casts the body parts around Egypt. Isis recovers 14 parts but is missing the phallus, the 15th part, for which she fashions a wooden substitute and, with the help of Thoth’s magic, she brings Osiris back to life again and conceives Horus. Osiris dons the body of resurrection and boards his solar boat, the “ship of eternity” or “Ark of a million years” for the return to the stars…the guardian and way-shower home. The other three cult primary cult centers all produce an ennead in but with a different primary creator god.
Hermopolis (pre-dynastic): THOTH, the God of Wisdom and Master of Boundaries, is the primary creator. In the Void, he creates four pairs of creative principles, called the Ogdoad or the Eight, who remain in the waters of the Nun. The Ogdoad represent the four fundamental factors of creation: primordial water, air (or power), dardness and infinity or formlessness. These are Nun & Naunet: Water, Amun & Amunet: Invisibility, Heh & Hauhet: Infinity and Kek & Kauket: Darkness. Together they hold the 8 corners of the Cube of Space. In the waters they form a World Egg (like a firmament) from which RA emerges, the Principle of Light and the creator of the manifest reality. Alternately RA arises from an opening lotus emerging from the depths of the cosmic waters. Thus “the Eight” create the Light of creation. In alternate legends Ra emerges from a lotus flower that arises from the watery depths and flies into the sky.
Memphis (Old Kingdom): PTAH, the self-engendered, the “divine potter” who brings things into existence by modeling clay, earth, on his wheel is the creator of Atum in the Void, as well as the Ennead whom he endows with his Ka. He creates through the Heart-intelligence and by means of the Word, whose lips are the Twin Companies. He brings everything into existence by speaking its name. He replaces RA as the creator of the physical manifest universe with a Divine Triad: himself, Sekmet, the (lion-headed) Divine Mother and Nefertum, the Lotus, who carries out the Plan. He brings the teaching from the stars. Altogether they are twelve.
Thebes, now Karnak (Middle Kingdom): There are two serpents involved in the primal boundaries. One of the original 8 Ogdoad, AMUN, The Hidden One, emerges supreme and with Mut, the Divine Mother, and their son, Khonsu. God of time and the moon, form the Theban triad. These three are surrounded by a pantheon of fifteen gods, including Thoth, Ptah and Horus making up a pentactys of fifteen neters.
The 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Akenaten, established the very short-lived center at Tel-Armana, the mono-theistic cult of Aten, whose symbol was the radiating sun. It was all but erased by the Amun priesthood with the passing of his son, King Tut.
Creation

Apopis-The Cosmic Serpent who encloses creation.

Geb & Nut-Earth & Sky
The description of what was before creation, the state of non-existence, is done in terms of negatives, “that which was not yet”. This is like the description of the beginning in the Vedas. It was when there was not space (Shu), nor earth and sky (Geb and Nut), before Atum had found a place to stand, before gods and men, before “any thing”, not birth and not death, “when there were not yet two things”, (duality). The condition was of undifferentiated Unity. It was through the division or differentiation of Unity that creation begins. On the positive side the Nun is described as the “limitless waters”, the primeval flood, as totally opaque, total darkness. This presages the Gnostic and Greek concepts of primal “chaos”. The fate of a deceased who fails the judgment of Osiris is to be swallowed by the abyss, becoming a “nonexistent one”. The neters represent aspects of activity of the One Supreme Being. The path of union with the Supreme Intelligence then must involve an integration of each of these divine aspects in sequence like climbing the Tree of Life or the Planes of the Kingdom. The Abyss is the abode of the cosmic serpent Apopis, the delineator of existence and thus its destroyer. At the end of time and existence, the primal creator becomes a serpent dissolving back into the waters.
As delineator, the serpent defines the arena for existence with its coils, later shown forming a circle holding its tail in its mouth, the “Ouroboros”, literally “tail in mouth”. The created world is bounded, that is finite. It is recursive, coming back on itself, thus self-defining. The power of limits creates form. It is a principle of sacred geometry that in essence, form is the containment of energy. Ouroborus = cyclic eternity is the Milky Way
The annual flooding of the Nile re-enacted the primal creation. The legends of both Heliopolis and Hermopolis tell that this first island to appear from the receding flood waters of the Nlle is encircled by the serpent to prevent the flood from returning. The standing serpent represents the initiate who has raised the kundalini vertically within himself. Serpent=energy, the primary quality of which is the wave thus going through the serpent (Book of Duat) means traversing an energy field or dimension. (see Creation & Addendum: Teaching of the Serpent below).
The primal creator creates a million, million years and “made himself into millions” of gods between himself and union at the end of existence.
Atum speaks to the crew of his solar barque in the Book of the Two Ways from the Coffin Texts about the “end of time”.:
“I made a million years into something between me and that weary-hearted one, son of Geb (i.e. Osiris). Then shall I dwell with him (and all Osiris’s) in one place (no longer separated by space and time). Mounds will become cities and cities mounds, and estate shall destroy estate”. CT Vii,467e-468b
“This earth shall return to the primeval water (Nun), to endless (flood) as in its first state. I shall remain with Osiris after I have transformed myself into another serpent which men do not know and the gods do not see”. Book of the Dead, Chapter 175
Becoming one with the resurrected Osiris, as all dead became, guaranteed eternal Life with the supreme being at the end of time. Existence and non-existence are complementary, like cosmos and chaos, Yang and Yin, existence depends on non-existence and vice versa. Death was not an enduring state for the ancient Egyptian, but promised renewal, rejuvenation, enhanced life but non-existence was eternal death and to be avoided. The mystery school taught, even to today, that what one practices in life carries with you after death. The Egyptians believed that the physical body was survived at death by the ka, the etheric double, whose journey after death was to rejoin the ba, Soul, and eventually the ankh, the spirit, through a process of ordeals, similar to the Tibetan bardo, which took the ka through the underworld called the duat, actually the realm of the eternal stars. Both the existent and the non-existent came before Osiris. All things, even the gods eventually pass away in the Nun. Order can only be maintained if there is a potential for disorder. Duality provides for the potential of choice…free will and hence the potential of growth.
The Temples of the Nile

Temple of Luxor –West Entrance

Temple of Osiris @ Abydos
The temples and art of ancient Egypt are seen as the expression of a “Sacred Science”: the knowledge and conscious application of cosmic principles.” This is a system of ancient wisdom, which understood the creation of the world and man’s purpose within it. as the “return to the Source”. “Egyptian esoteric doctrine can be characterized as the transformation of the soul…from the material beings we are at birth to the spiritual beings we are by birthright”. The weaving together of principles in number, sacred geometry, inscription and symbol produce the effect on consciousness, scientifically designed to put one in contact with the state of knowing and the dimension of the gods. Sacred Science, principles for the design of Temples, invoking the Presence and aligning consciousness.
The truths are rooted in exact measure which reveals geometry and in turn principles.
The cosmic principles were encoded in number, the carrier of meaning.
One: The Absolute, undifferentiated spirit, non-dual consciousness.
Two: Duality: advent of creation, differentiation, vibration
Three: Relationship, mediation between opposites, manifestation in form
Four: Volume, the body-matter, vehicle of consciousness (3+1), the elements, qualities and forces of matter.
Five: Life (4+1), animate matter, perfected being.
Six: The Cosmos (5+1), time and space 3+3=6
Seven: Growth, evolution
Eight: The Portal, the Path
Nine: Nirvana, heaven
Ten: Completion
Eleven: Mastery, enlightenment
Twelve: Signs of the Zodiac, dimensions of the universe.
In the ancient Egyptian teaching, the nature of reality is described by mathematics and geometry. There are no negative numbers in Egyptian mathematics: the balance point is One, not zero. On one side are the whole integers going to infinity and on the other reciprocals also going to infinity.
The temples of the Nile encoded for transmission a sequence of teachings, both in their sacred geometry and as inscriptions in hieroglyphs on the walls, that the initiate to be passed through. They also represented the chakras of the mystical body of man, opened in sequence as one progressed down the river of life. At the entrance to the temple one entered upon the Path of Return. The temple represented humanity’s journey from the body to divine state of the god and so the structure of multi-dimensional reality…the journey of the soul. The main axis of the temple was usually aligned with the helical rising of the star associated with the god to whom the temple was dedicated.
1. Abu Simbel, Temple of Ramses II at Aswan – the root chakra,
2. Temple of Isis at Philae (and Kum Ombo) -the sacral center
3. The Temple of Horus at , the spiritual university- the solar plexus.
4. Temple of Karnak, dedicated to Amun and Luxor, Temple of Man -the heart chakras,
5. Temple of Osiris/Osirion at Abydos and Dendara Temple of Hathor -throat chakra,
6. Saqqara Pyramid Complex, the 3rd eye chakra.
7. Pyramids of Giza Plateau, the crown chakra .
Courts and chambers filled with columns typically with reed capital represented “paradise, the Field of Reeds…the Home of the Gods. These stone colonnaded spaces were like energy batteries, directly affecting the consciousness. So also were the walls were also energy sinks resulting from the carving of inscriptions into the stone, which encoded the sacred teachings.
Grids, patterns of subtle telluric energy, usually orthotic with the temple plan defined the central axis of the processional to the sanctuary…and the cross grids, usually coincident with the main walls and pylons gates described the portals between dimensions.
Aspects that define the Temple: encoding the teaching:
• Macrocosm, as the model of the universe, structure of Multi-dimensional reality and map of the Journey of the Soul: Gate-Path-Lotus Seat, Seed (altar).
• Nexus/Portal or Stargate: energy field created through sacred geometry,
• Anthropocosm or Microcosm: the human energy field or light body: the chakras,
• Energy Field(s): as a patterns of subtle energy related to the earth’s ley/grid system,
• Ritual/Ceremony: the form of the sacred activity, Precession…opening the chakras
• House of the Divine: as the abode of deity, the Presence.

Temple of Luxor, Kamak

Temple of Osiris, Abydos
The Pyramids of Giza

The Giza Pyramids: three different ways to equate the circle (spirit and square (body).
The pyramids are keys to the ascension process: represent stars in the Duat, the Gizeh pyramids being the stars in Orion’s (Osiris’) belt. The Pyramids were built as a gateway directly to heaven-Orion bypassing the whole process of the soul journey through the Duat.
• The geometry of the Great Pyramid embodies the sacred geometry of the Circling the Square, equating spirit (circle) and matter (square) by the Golden Proportion. Each of the three main pyramids has a slightly different aspect of this magic ratio.
• The Great pyramid is a scale model of the Earth containing its dimensions in various units of ancient measure, Egyptian cubits, pyramid inches, etc.
• The Great Pyramid shape has power…shown to conduct subtle energy into the planetary grids.
• In the Great Pyramid: initiate became reborn in the Light of Re.
Great Pyramid: was also a model of multi-dimensional reality, It is actually Chephren, the middle pyramid, that aligns to the middle star of Orion’s Belt, Alnitak. This is the stargate to the center of Creation while the two pyramids on either side, Mintak and Alnilam, are the guardians or gatekeepers to the stargate. The largest pyramid, that of Cheops, is the Ascension portal. In this regard the ascension seat is actually the niche in the Queen’s chamber which sits directly under the apex of the pyramid. The sarcophagus in the Kings Chamber is off to the side and may have once held the original Ark of the Covenant. The third, smallest Pyramid of Mykerinos, is the time gate and the smaller six “queen” pyramids probably function as control panels for the three largest pyramids. (See grid map of the Giza pyramids below).

Alignment of the three large Giza Pyramids to Orion Belt stars.
Star Maps
The ancients mapped the stars of the night sky onto the surface of the planet, uniting heaven and earth two. Research by //, has shown that the pyramids in particularly represent stars, the three on the Giza plateau are the three stars in the Belt of Orion
The Giza plateau with its pyramids was called “Rostau” the stargate. The ancient Hall of Records is believed to be beneath the Pyramids: Egypt models the cosmos-tradition all over the world that the sky is map on the ground. Zodiacs. Solar boat, transports the deceased through the Duat, the underworld, star field to heaven. There has been much research to suggest that the dimensions of the Great Pyramid modeled the Earth and the chronology of the recent history of mankind is recorded in the Pyramid.
Timeline by Peter Lemesurier. There has also been speculation that it also models the multi-dimensions of the universe. Egyptian Book of the Dead told us that the Great Pyramid was called “The Abode of Light” or “The House of Secret Places”. The entry into the secret Chamber of the Son is foretold to occur later in this century representing mankind’s spiritual ascension into the 5th Dimension. Other chambers representing even higher dimensions may be fully encased in stone without a physical entry.
Egyptian Mysteries

Vortex Stargate

Orion Stargate
12 Hours of the Duat:-Tomb of Tutmosis III-Valley of Kings. Each of 12 gates or pylons had a gatekeeper and a magical spell needed to pass through. Each domain was visualized as having three registers, a river between two banks, representing 3 dimensions. Books like this were maps of the paths of return.

Fundamental stargate geometry: Overlapping vortexes conformed by two pyramids or tetrahedrons.

The Pharaoh’s soul walking through the stargate. King Tut’s 2nd Shrine.

King Tut Sarcophagus
Isis and Nepthys enfold the pharaoh in their wings as the pharaoh holds the crossed flail and crook over his heart giving the geometry of the stargate. This is the basis of the Masonic symbol:
The Egyptian path of Initiation as outlined by Charles Muses in a book called “The Lion Path”, is the metamorphosis of the body, a process modeled by Osiris, re-uniting the 14 pieces (number of the regenerative process) of his dismembered body. The path of enlightenment, of the whirling spiral of the self, symbolized as the passage of the sacred solar boat, the Henu, through the heavens, a “land” of constellations, to bring the god to be in man into the realm of light and life, into the presence of Osiris, the conqueror of death to be born again.
INITIATION: The process of ascent to the stars described in the Pyramid and Coffin texts and on the walls of the Pharaoh’s tombs in the Valley of the Kings are also instructions to initiates aspiring for the journey of return to the stars after a spiritual death and a resurrection as an illumined being while still in a living body. The Pyramid Texts on the walls of the Unas Pyramid, exhorts the gods to accept the Pharaoh as being alive: “Unas is not dead”. The Greek historian, Herodotus, visiting Egypt in the 5th century BCE records the what appears to be a universal process in ancient cultures. After a period of spiritual training and practice the initiate is lead into a secret chamber in the pyramid, and sealed into a stone sarcophagus therein for a period of three days and nights in deep trance. traveled through the dimensions, each with a guarded portal/gateway, leading to the realm of the imperishable stars to commune with the gods. The journey is taken aboard a special vehicle called the solar boat, which sails on the waters of consciousness as it also carries the solar disk-sun of RA across the sky. If successful, the initiate returned reborn, enlightened, joining a select company of initiates called the Shemsu Hor, the Brotherhood of Horus, the white robed, “shining ones”. The Gnostic Gospel of Philip found at Nag Hammadi, Egypt describes a similar process.
Stargate: The hieroglyph, or word for initiation, is , meaning “to be prepared” and is also the symbol for the star Sirius, representing the power of the divine feminine, the goddess, Isis, who in the myth of resurrection, is the instrument though which the fragmented Osiris is re-established as a whole light being, a god. She joins with the chrysalis of Osiris in sexual union, a tantra, as a hawk, the soul, and brings back his seed to give birth to Horus. The “initiation” is passage through the stargate or union with the divine polarity. The symbolism of the mummy, is the chrysalis. The initiation is metamorphosis where the organs dissolve to 19 cells. And so were the organs of the mummy removed from the body and kept in separate containers.
“The pupal Osiris became the numinous Egg or “eye”, (or golden lotus bud) (symbols of Horus) out of which the regenerated Osiris as Horus emerged, brought forth by the womb-power of the Divine Mother, Isis. Her star was the brightest in the heavens, Sirius, Sothis.“ There were 12 Star Beings: representing the hours of the dwat-. The Divine Ennead (nine neters) starting with Re, the creator, then Shu, Tefnu, space and time, Nut-the power of universal substance, “water”, Geb, Osiris, Isis, Set and Nephthys, plus 3 more: Thoth, the magician, Anubis, the transformer, and Ptah, the Divine “Potter”, the evoker and quickener of all functions, the “architect of the universe” and of all forms. Add Horus and Khnum for 14.
The Egyptian Stargate: The overlap of vortexes as within the pyramids, creates the gateway into the Duat. There were 14 powers or steps or stages leading to the gateway: the Egg.
“Star-Power Energy: shown entering through the forehead (third-eye) of the pupal or mummiform Osiris, type of all humans. The glyph of the five-pointed star is the word for “star “and also means “door” and with the determinative symbol for walking it meant ‘passing through the “star-door” (or time door). This combined with the falcon or the winged soul indicates that it was the soul’s passage through these doors that effected the Osirian transformation or metamorphosis into the immortal-glorified. The stargate geometry was encoded in the crossing of the wings of Isis and Nepthys and the crossing of the crook and flail of the pharaoh’s Akenaten and Tutenkamum.
In ancient times the Giza Plateau was called “Rostau”, the stargate and it was the middle pyramid Chephren that was called “great”. The great pyramid now is the ascension platform, the ascension seat is the niche in the Queen’s Chamber directly under the apex of the pyramid.
The stargate geometry is traced connecting the numbers in the magic Square of Saturn-3 or Thoth, in order. The sum of the numbers in rows, columns and diagonals is 15, the parts of Osiris’ body in the secret teaching.

Isis and Nepthys are the gate- keepers to the stargate at the temple entrance. The geometry of their wings produces a stargate. The square portal above admits the light of stars into the temple sanctuary.
The Djed Pillar

Djed Pillar aligned to Galactic Center. The Stargate is formed by two lion-headed sphinx’s, the double sphinx, back to back, guardians to the Giza Plateau. They at the entrance to the Duat.which models the wormhole-double vortex.
The Djed Pillar here shows Osiris holding the flail and crook of pharoahic authority, topped with the sh, symbol of life, and upraised arms representing the KA, the essence/energy of being that survives death, holding the sun, RA.
Looking at ancient Egypt as the source and foundation of western mysticism, her vast symbolic library of sacred teaching in her architecture and writing, there must be one that sticks out as representing the higher dimensions. We find it in the form of the Djed Pillar. In the Djed Pillar we have a representation of the body, specifically the spinal column, of Osiris, the resurrected or Perfected One. He is the divine aspect or neter of resurrection and return to our origin in the stars, thus the axis mundi of the world. It was thus the World Tree, the support of the universe. Known even today as the mystery of mysteries, Osiris himself represented the Path of Return as well as the guide, the ruler of the ”duat”, the area of the night sky, or underworld, home of the imperishable stars (never setting) that encircle the pole star. Upon death we each become Osiris, retuning to the stars. The Djed was the ”stairway to heaven”…connecting heaven and earth. As such it is the model of the Kingdom, i.e. of multi-dimensional reality itself.
The djed column and its rituals represent one of the deepest mysteries of ancient Egypt dating back to pre-dynastic times as does the Egyptian Book of the Dead which identifies it the Djed as the backbone/spine of Osiris, thus stability, regeneration and continuity but moreover it was the axis of the world, the djed was the World Tree the support of the universe. (i.e. giving structure to the cosmos). The Djed column was the spine of Osiris, a ladder to the stars. Intiates of the Djed mysteries were known as the Djedi, the stable ones, pillars of the world, protectors of sacred knowledge. The Djedi was the enlightened man, the light body of the divine being represented by the Osiris.
According to legend the first Djed was raised by the Nun as a conduit for the neters between heaven and earth, thus a series of inter-dimensional portals. Each level had is pair of gatekeepers: Shu /Tefnut, Geb/Nut, Osiris/Isis and Set/Nepthys.. Altogether they were organized as the First and Second Companies of neters positioned on either side of the pillar into the first Tree of Life. In the central axis were placed first Atum, then RA/Thoth/Ptah and Amon, the creators, Horus, The Pharaoh and Mankind, ascending, evolving back to Source up the stages of the pillar. Raising the Djed was celebrated by the pharaoh annually at the winter solstice and at times of crisis or change, to re-establish order and maintain stability of earth and its energy grids. But the secret of the Djed is that it symbolized the resurrection of Osiris, representing the resurrection of the fragmented spiritual self, a rebirth in Light, in Wisdom and Spirit, was to re-establish the Path of Return. It symbolized the victory of order over chaos and evil…of Osiris over Set.
The legend tells us that jealous Set killed Osiris cutting him up into 14 pieces…the fifteenth being his genitals. Through magic Isis reassembles Osiris’ body in order to conceive Horus. The magic square of Saturn having three rows and columns of the primary integers all sum to 15. Connecting the numbers in order produces the geometry of the stargate centered on the number 5, of perfected being.
With Horus the neters make ten, the sephiroth of the Tree of Life. Horus represents the destiny of Man becoming divine following the path up the central column of the Djed becoming Horus, Osiris, Ra and Thoth/Maat in succession. The neters in the outer left and right columns are ten the gatekeepers for the ascending stage of spiritual evolution.
Thus there are five orders of Egyptian gods
- Atum, the supreme self-created creator who remains unmanifest in the void.
- Prime anifest creators, RA, Thoth, Ptah, and Amun- Creators of the Universe:
- Shu, Tefnut, Geb Nut and RA, the first Company. Creators of our world.
- The 2nd Company: Osiris, Isis, Set, Nepthys and Horus: aspects of the creator gods who manifest in human form.
- Lesser gods over 2000: who represent forces and processes in nature.
The path of union with the Supreme Intelligence then must involve an integration of each of these divine aspects in sequence like climbing the Tree of Life or the Planes of the Kingdom. (See diagram) Raising the Djed re-polarizes/realigns the chakra system and opens the crown to the higher dimensions.
The Djed is the column of light that connects heaven/galactic center to earth. Set between the two opposing lions representing the portal/gateway, the Djed is the stargate or portal home to the stars.
The alignment of the Djed as the cosmic pillar of Light depends on timing. As the spine of Osiris to the celestial pole and as the column of Ra to galactic center.

Traveling the dimensions requires the initiate to achieve a higher state of consciousness and to build a vehicle, a light body, to travel in. The solar boat is that vehicle in the Egyptian mysteries. It is called the “ship of eternity”, the “ark of a million years”…that sails on the waters of the Milky Way…the Duat. William Henry has proposed that the design of the solar boat is similar to a quantum wormhole, a stargate, with lotus vortex openings front and aft. The ascended one is the “feathered“ being-Osiris who sits on the solar boat on the (feathered) Throne in the form of the Cube of Space, which is also an ascension vehicle.
Djed Pillar as the mystical subtle body of Osiris has realigned chakras, nine in total, the number of energy bodies (see diagram). The upper four column capitals stand for the four higher chakras or energy centers of the body, realigned vertically as wheels on the axis of the world, from heart to crown of the ascending being. It is the light body of the ascended being. The dung beetle, Kepher, in the mantle pushes the sun ahead of it, thus is the symbol of RA, the rising sun. But also is the symbol of the ascending being rising sin the Djed column of light. Gatekeepers: Isis & Nepthys. These two neters, who enfold the pharaoh in his sarcophagus and stand as the columns at the entry pylon to the Temple, produce the geometry of the stargate with their wings. The initiates of this mystery were known as the Djedi Brotherhood, the stable ones, Pillars of the World, who served the planet and the plan at the end of the world age and who guarded and transmitted the secrets of the teaching. Thus, in this time of world change. it is time for the Djed to be raised in all of us again.
“The Djed is the supreme unifying symbol of all polarities, connecting us to the transcendent reality of the whole, the One. It symbolizes the macro and microcosmic “axis.” As the cosmic axis the Djed is the “cylinder,” the column of light linking the Earth to the pole star. It represents stability because it aligns the North Pole of Earth with the still-point of the revolving “dome” of the heavens-the pole star.” In the same article, “The Raising of the Djed,” 1995, she goes on to say: “From the geodetic and astronomic perspective, the raised Djed is the fixed reference point which makes firm the bond between Heaven and Earth, evoking geophysical stability at a time of increased potential for Earth changes.” She also reminds us that: “according to the texts of the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the Djed served its greatest purpose and revealed its greatest mystery at the ending of one world age and the beginning of another.” – MoiRa Timms

Addendum The Teaching of the Serpent
Atum emerges from the darkness of the Primal Waters, the Nun, (Heliopolis cosmology) from the primal state of undifferentiated chaos, before there was form, before any definite thing existed according to one story, as the primeval cosmic serpent called Sito, “Son of Earth” or Iru-To, ‘Creator of Earth”. In the Pyramid Texts 1146, the creator/Spirit says: (p50)
I am the outflow of the Primeval Flood,
He, who emerged from the waters.
I am the “Provider of Attributes, serpent with its many coils,
I am the Scribe of the divine Book
Which says what has been and effects what is yet to be.
“Here the serpent is the creator of multiplicity, God as the spirit who assigns to everything its essence, its Ka. The serpent is therefore a symbol of creation by word, the belief that the universe in its variety is based on…the commands of a designing and conscious mind.” p51
Coffin Texts, IV, Spell 321:
I extended everywhere, according to what was to come into existence.
As the One, I alone knew the Indwelling Soul, the most potent of gods….
I bent around myself (self-created-recursion), encircled in my coils.(DNA)
One who made a place for himself (i.e. a creation) in the midst of his coils.
His utterance is what came forth from his mouth.
“In a sense he (Atum) is the serpent whose coils delimit the creation-the outer coils of the serpent are the limits of the world.” (the power of limits to create form). “In another recitation of the First Intermediate Period (Hermopolis) the Universal Master (Thoth) explains to the minor gods that he came to deliver the four basic laws of creation: p51″while I was still in the midst of the serpent coils”
“In another sense the serpent utters the “creative Word, the Logos, which lays down the laws of what is to be made.” The serpent exists before the dawning of Light which comes forth form the word.”
“In the beginning the serpent is the creator emerging from the chaos of the ‘waters’, in the end Atum becomes the serpent again, the principle of destruction and chaos, the return to the waters. The serpent is eternal.”
“Atum must conquer the serpent part of himself to emerge in form from the waters. The serpent remains there as Apopis, the doer of the void, of darkness, as the personification of evil-chaos (from our perspective), ever a threat to discorporation (of order/cosmos-form) and is battled every night by RA, the sun (ultimate order), which disappears into the night in order to return at the dawn of the next day.”
“The serpent must be conquered before the world can be in order. It is made to swallow its tail and surround the Primeval Hill to protect the world from the chaos of the waters.” (The serpent represents the wave nature of reality, which moves upon the waters, creating order out of chaos.)
Other meanings of the serpent (specifically the cobra): the goddess or divine feminine, the forces which uphold the universe (e.g. rearing serpents as in the winged disk), the energy in matter or Nature (as in kundalini), the symbol of Amun, the hidden One, the suppressed forces of nature (that lie in the earth) (Hikê) which can be overcome by divine knowledge. Serpent represents the subtle power/energy in matter/body-the kundalini. The dual serpents on the Crown indicate the opening of the 3rd Eye (i.e. tantra and Egyptian).
