• A secret set of gemstones have been traveling the world for many millennia, linked with the evolution of the Earth's Crystal energy grid

Full Report:

A million years ago, when our present planetary Crystal energy system came into being, the Hyperborean and succeeding Lemurian Dod Masters at Shamballa in Central Asia first created a Sphere of alchemical gold representing the Earth, and placed on its surface the new Fourteen Planetary Gemstones. The Sphere was placed on a pedestal, and around it they constructed the first Multi-Versity of Planetary Wisdom, to both preserve and work with the stones as a single power unit and storehouse of global knowledge.

After the physical Shamballa declined and was eventually destroyed, both the Multi-Versity and the Fourteen Gemstones were taken by their Keepers into various parts of the world. This was done to spread the Universal Wisdom about the globe, and give different peoples the opportunity to take on the responsibility of Meta-Creation with the Earth Mother.

For a certain period of time, the Multi-Versity and Fourteen Gemstones existed in Africa, at the planetary Aries Node Point, then moved back into Asia, before residing for some time in the Americas, in Europe, then to Lemuria and Mw in the Pacific, and in early Atlantis in the Atlantic, before going on to the Caucasus region near what is now the Caspian and Black Seas. During this time the Fourteen Gemstones were preserved in a small pyramid of gold and silver.

In about 10,500 B.C.E. it was the great Teacher Ra-Ta, over-lighted by the Aeion, who brought the Fourteen Gemstones with him from the Caucasus through the sacred prehistoric learning centers of Ra el-Shamra and Malta into Egypt. Here they were first brought to the prehistoric temple of the Osireon at Abydos, and then were incorporated into the Temple Beautiful which at that time existed at what was to become Saqqara. Just before the destruction of Atlantis, the Gemstones were re-energized in the newly built Great Pyramid and safely buried in the Hall of Records beneath the Sphinx.

After being used to revitalize the Nile Valley in the post-Cataclysmic world, to establish along its length the primordial Temples of Egyptian Initiation, the Fourteen Gemstones were then utilized for a more planetary purpose. During the Megalithic Age, from 10,000 to 3000 B.C.E., the Heraclean Masters, working with the Followers of Tat and Isis in Egypt, set the stones into two poles called the Staffs of Dod, one held in each hand. They were employed to both measure and dowse the entire planet, establishing the foundations for the world-wide energy-ley grid, locked into the greater Crystal energy grid of the Earth.

After the Megalithic Age, in 2600 B.C.E. the Fourteen Gemstones were brought forth again by the Egyptian Initiators Imhotep and Zoser. These two also established the Multi-Versity of Planetary Learning at ancient Saqqara.

Wall engravings dating to the Fourth Dynasty show the High Priest of Saqqara wearing a breast ornament having twelve gemstones, complemented by two additional gemstones worn on a head-band over the forehead, the Third Eye. The High Priest of Saqqara was dedicated to Ptah—the god who shapes and re-shapes the world on his Potters’ Wheel.

Very much linked with the Fourteen Gemstones are the Emerald Tablets, which were part of the Secret Higher Wisdom taught by the Multi-Versity, beginning at Saqqara.

Saqqara was named for SOKAR, the god of the soul of the planet who is a more ancient expression of Osiris and Ptah combined as Serapis, the Green God of Resurrection.

In Arabic tradition, SAKHRAT is the single green Emerald foundation of the great World Mountain of Caf. In Hermetic tradition, it is the SARAKHI or Tabula Smaragdina—the Emerald Tablets—which hold the keys to planetary Transformation.

It is also the Kabbalistic SORATH, the Dark night of the Sun, in Hebrew gematria equivalent to the sum of the Square of the Sun or 666, portrayed in Egyptian hieroglyphs as the Sokarian Emerald Oasis in the Desert of the Land.

SAR-OZ or SAKH-OZ is likewise the fabled city of which Josephes, the son of Joseph of Arimathea, traveled from Glastonbury to become Bishop. And SARRAS is the “heavely city of the East” described in the Arthurian legends where the pure Knights of the Round Table returned the Holy Grail at the end of their Quest.

In Grail legends, Sarras is described as being in the Middle East; having a name derived from “Saracen,” again indicating its placement in the Levant; traveled to by a “ship of Solomon,” or an ancient Phoenician vessel originating in the Aegean; that it is also approached by crossing the Waste Land—the Sahara Desert to Saqqara’s west; being a port, yet some distance from the sea—Saqqara is on the Nile, inland from the Aegean; it possessed the Perilous Cemetery—the great Saqqaran necropolis with its imposing Serapeum; its Temple of the Sun was reflected in the Step Pyramid of Zoser; it likewise was noted for its Place of Healing—mirrored in the Asclepeion medical center—where Percival’s sister, Dandrane, was brought back to life; and its Grail Hall is seen today in the magnificent restored entrance colonnade and walled courtyard to the Saqqara complex.

Significant also is that the Fifth degree Initiates of the Grail were called the Perfecti—the name given to the priests and priestesses of the Fifth level of Egyptian Initiation, performed at Saqqara.

This was also the title given to the mystical teachers of the medieval Cathars, who led their followers into the Mysteries of the Manisola with the sign of the Consolarmentum—identical to the Initiation of Neferatum at Saqqara.

Likewise, we find in the name Sarras memories from Egyptian hieroglyphs of SA RA, the “Son of Ra,” one of the five sacred titles of the Pharaoh, and ASAR, the original name for Osiris.

Circa 2000 B.C.E. the Egyptian Master Melqi-Tzedek, over-lighted by the Aeion, Initiated the shepherd-king Abraham into the Greater Mysteries of Planetary Wisdom. The Fourteen Gemstones were embedded into the surface of the Table of Bread and Wine set before him, as described in Genesis 14:18-20.

This became the first archetype for the Table of Shew Bread in the Hebrew Tabernacle, the Table of the Last Supper, the Table of the Grail Mysteries, and the Round Table of Arthur.

The site of the Initiation of Abraham on Mount Zion later became the site of the Upper Room of the Last Supper, and the Secret Lodge of the Knight Templars in ages to come. The Priests of Tzadok served in these secret capacities within Solomon’s Temple, passed down to the Essenes the Book of Zadok, and two millennia later—beginning with Arthur—they anointed all the early Kings of Britain.

In 1450 B.C.E. another Hebrew Initiate named Moses received the Fourteen Gemstones, fashioning them into the Breastplate of the High Priest of the Tabernacle. This was composed of twelve of the stones arranged in four rows of three, with the additional two—the Urim and Thummin—placed in a pouch inside the Breastplate.

The Urim stone the Hebrew Teachers identified as the “gem of the light and fire of truth,” and the Thummin as the “jewel of perfection and completion,” both being used by them as channels from the Divine ONE for the interpretation of visions and dreams. These two Solomon later had set into rings which he wore.

Under the direction of the last Heraclean Master and First Freemason—Hiram of Tyre—and the last High Priestess of the Mother Nagas of the Earth—the Queen of Sheba—Solomon used the rings to build his Temple with vibration and sound.

But the Hebrews after Solomon forgot the higher purpose of the Fourteen Gemstones, and began to misuse them. While a second and third Breastplates were later created and utilized in other historical periods in Israel, the original Breastplate with its Fourteen Gemstones was returned by the prophet Jeremiah to Saqqara during the Babylonian Captivity. There it was housed beneath a structure which later became the Coptic Church of St. Jeremias, situated near the southeast corner of the Saqqara complex.

For a brief period of time the Fourteen Gemstones were taken from the Breastplate and were incorporated into fourteen stone columns that later became part of the Church, and today they are still preserved in the Coptic Museum in Cairo. The columns, along with its accompanying high throne-seat of stone, was part of a later Grail Initiation, one day to be re-enacted. It is a reflection of an earlier period, when the Fourteen Gemstones had been kept atop the Fourteen Pillars of Wisdom constructed by Zoroaster, whose memory is also preserved in the fourteen columns in the Kiosk of Trajan located in the Temple complex of Isis at Philae.

In the second century B.C.E. appeared another Initiator of Israel who is remembered in Essene, Jewish and Islamic traditions as the True Teacher of Righteousness, Moreh-Tzedeq (the Over-Lighted), Yus-Asaph, Joseph the Just, Zedik Gamur and Taheb the Restorer.

He was known as the Master of the secret arts—healing, history, astrology, herbs and parables. As Yus-Asaph he was remembered especially as the original Aesop. During the Maccabean Revolt he fled to Egypt where he entered the Multi-Versity of Saqqara, studied the healing treatises of Imhotep, and wrote the Sefer Refu’ot or Book of Medicine.

Through his seven sons, Yus-Asaph established the roots of the early Essene Order, who eventually returned to Israel. In Egypt, however, they were called the Therapeuts. These in turn later became influential in the origins of the Gnostics and the Coptic Templar Order.

Yus-Asaph was an important key, for while in Egypt he received the Fourteen Gemstones, and during his later exile—first to Syria and then to Kashmir—he was instrumental in passing on the Gemstones to the followers of Gautama Buddha. Yus-Asaph died at the age of 120 years; his tomb can still be seen today, located in the Khanyar district of Srinigar in a mausoleum called the Rauzabal.

The Fourteen Gemstones were hidden within the Sacred Begging Bowl which the Buddha once carried with him in his many journeys. His followers’ work was to bring the Stones’ energies into the East once more, to offer greater balance in the Left and Right Hemispheres of the planet.

In the next century, the Sacred Begging bowl was faithfully transported by Buddha’s followers from Ceylon to Tibet to Japan, and for a brief time was even taken by Buddhist missionaries to the Americas.

After making contact once more with the etheric Shamballa in Mongolia, the Fourteen Gemstones were removed from the Bowl and returned via the Silk Road to Saqqara. The Bowl itself meanwhile has disappeared. It is prophesied that in our present day it will be brought to light once more by the Kalmuks of Central Asia, wo keep it in their captial of Karashahr. And it will be given as a gift to the future Buddha, the Avatar Maitreya, as a representative of the new Twin Aeions.

According to the Talmud, Joseph of Arimathea was the great-uncle of Yeshua, the younger brother of Mary’s father. At the death of Yeshua’s father, Joseph ben Bethlehem, Joseph of Arimathea became the legal guardian of the young boy. In actuality, Joseph of Arimathea had been responsible for the education of Yeshua since he was a small child, in Egypt.

The name Arimathea means “the high place,” and is called the “city of the Jews” in the Gospels, yet corresponds to no known city in ancient Israel. It is derived from the Hebrew Rama, Ramoth or Ramathaim, connected with the Exodus site of Raams, a Jewish community in the Nile Delta not far from Saqqara.

In St. Mary’s Chapel in Glastonbury, built on the site of Joseph and the Three Marys’ original school structure, an ancient stone bears his initials, J. A., between which appears the Hermetic Caduceus staff—the sign of Imhotep, the founder of Saqqara. Joseph was also called “Joseph of Marmore” after Marmorica, located on the northwestern coast of Egypt.

Joseph’s Egyptian origins were most important, for he was the bridge between the Multi-Versity School of Saqqara—where the Fourteen Gemstones were kept—and the planetary mission which Yeshua was to perform. When Yeshua and his parents fled the persecution under Herod and came to Egypt, it was Joseph of Arimathea who Initiated him, along with his cousin John the Baptist, into the Egyptian Mystery Schools along the Nile.

According to the Mandean Book of John, John the Baptist soon after his birth had been taken to “Parwan the White City” or white-walled Saqqara, where he as trained until the age of 22. Joseph of Arimathea was also called “Joseph Cartophilus”—the Lover of Cards. He taught both Yeshua and John in the images of the sacred Tarot, having its origins in the hidden Hall of Records beneath the Great Pyramid and Sphinx.

The Bedouins preserve the story of Joseph of Arimathea’s first encounter with the child Yeshua. When the Holy Family first arrived in Egypt, they camped among the Bedouin tribesmen along the river banks within sight of the Pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza. Here Joseph of Arimathea came to them, to make arrangements for them to stay with him in Raams, a day’s journey away. As they talked, the young child, barely able to walk, slipped away from his mother’s arms and wandered off just within the glow of the campfire. He looked up into the stars for a moment or two, and then at the Giza monuments glistening in the moonlight before him.

The child Yeshua then picked up a broken palm leaf stick, and as most children like to do, he drew out pictures in the sand. When he was finished, he ran back to the campfire to show his parents what he had done. But they were too busy talking. Joseph of Arimathea, however, already having become fascinated with the aura of the boy, gave the child the attention he wanted, and went out to see his drawings.

To Joseph’s amazement, what the young Yeshua had done was sketch out on the desert sands a complete blueprint of the inside of the Great Pyramid, the shadow of which loomed ahead of them, showing all its secret chambers. Being one of the prehistoric line of Sphinx Guardians to the Hidden Hall of Giza, the great-uncle immediately recognized what Yesua had revealed. Joseph hugged the boy, thanked him, and quietly erased the images. Joseph knew at that moment that the answers to his life purpose was about to be fulfilled.

In later years, just before their missions to Israel began, Yeshua and John passed through the Final Initiation within the Great Pyramid itself, completing the Ancient Mysteries which they had understood and remembered even as young children.

Between the ages of eight and twelve, Yeshua was allowed to travel extensively with his great-uncle to distant lands. Joseph, as a keen businessman and merchant, had been made a Decurion or Roman official, having authority over the tin, lead and copper mining districts of western Britain. This included the Scilly Islands, Cornwall and the Mendip Hills of Somerset. The major trading and distribution center for this area was called by the Romans Ictis or Mictis. The Celtic Druids, who regarded this same center as a most sacred place, called it Ynnis Witrin—the Crystal Island—which later became known as Glaston, meaning Glassy Isle, and also as Avalon.

This became modern Glastonbury. According to ancient Somerset and Gloucestershire legends, it was here that Joseph of Arimathea brought the young Yeshua to be Initiated into the Druidic Mystery Schools, not only in Glastonbury but also at Stonehenge and Avebury—the Golden Triangle of Wisdom. Maronite traditions from northern Galilee still preserve the story that Yeshua left with Joseph from the port of Tyre, the boy working as an apprentice shipwright carpenter, and spent a season in English Cornwall, then known as the Tin Islands.

While at Glastonbury, the growing future Teacher helped Joseph plan and lay out the foundation of a curiously designed structure having twelve sides with twelve entrances, which would later be known as the Wattle Church, and the School of Joseph and the Three Marys.

This was to become the microcosmic model of the New Jerusalem, as a future anchor point for the transference of energies between the prehistoric White Island of Shamballa to the Crystal Island of the future Glastonbury.

St. Augustine, in a letter to Pope Gregory the Great, wrote concerning Glastonbury and the arrival of the first disciples:

“God beforehand acquainted them, found a Church constructed by no human art, but by the hands of Christ Himself for the salvation of His people.”

The poet William Blake later wrote the words of this famous hymn, acknowledging the same tradition:

“And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God,
In England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was JERUSALEM builded here,
Among those dark Satanic hills?
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till I have built JERUSALEM,
In England’s green and pleasant land.”

Yeshua returned to Israel, and left again at age twelve, to spend several years traveling and learning in Persia, India, Nepal and Tibet. During those years Joseph of Arimathea worked with the Multi-Versity craftspeople at Saqqara to fashion a new vessel for the Fourteen Planetary Gemstones. At this particular time, a special opening of the Hall of Records occurred, as did a re-examination of the prophetic time-line inside the Great Pyramid, to consult the Ancient Wisdom as to what needed to be incorporated into the vessel, and when it was to be fully revealed in the future.

This new vessel was shaped as a Cup, becoming known as the Holy Grail or Chalice. According to Grail historian Chretien de Troyes, “The Grail gemstones outshone all other jewels on earth.” They did indeed, for its gemstones were the most unique in the world, representing the powers of the planet itself.

Part of the design of the Cup was aided by the Three Magi from the Orient—more specifically, the old seat of Shamballa in Central Asia—who had brought with them gifts to honor the child Yeshua near the time of his birth, each gift having been transported in its own Sacred Grail. The offerings of gold, frankincense and myrrh had not only been highly symbolic in their own right, but the real Secret was in the presentation of the Grails themselves. Their being shown to the child indicated they recognized in him the fulfillment of the next phase of Planetary Initiation. Only the gifts were left with the Holy Family, for after their sojourn in Bethlehem the Three Magi continued on to Egypt, to Saqqara, where the Grails were handed over to the Crafters of Ptah, the Shaper of the World on the Potters’ Wheel.

The sacred geometric patterning information incorporated in the Three Grails, showing past Crystal energy grid patterns for the planet, was in turn infused into the Final Grail design. In later ages the Three Minor Grails went on odysseys of their own, eventually preserved in the Templar-Masonic Rosslyn Castle near Edinburth in Scotland, at Montserrat in Spain, and deep below Montsegur of the Cathars, in the Pyrenees, where they remain hidden to this day.

In other traditions, the Grail is remembered as the Greek Krater, having the Matrix of Creation out of which comes the evolving All-Soul of Universal Nature.

It is the Dionysian Cup of Divine Inspiration.

It is the Orphic Chalice, the Center of New Beginnings for the Cosmos.

It is the Eleusinian Kernos, possessing the Revelation of All Mysteries.

It is the Hermetic Vessel of Transmutation, the Xoanan or Totality.

It is the Celtic Cup of Cerwyddn containing all Power and Magic.

It is the Hebrew Mystic Stone of Exile which holds the lost Shekinah Spirit fled from the Temple.

It is the Fourteen Major Arcana image of the Tarot—reflecting the Fourteen Gemstones—and the Ace of Cups.

It is the Omphalos Cup Stone of Jerusalem, which points forward to the New Jerusalem.

It is the Hindu Urna or Vessel-Stone of Third Eye Vision.

And it is the medieval Grasale or Cup, to be one day transmuted into the Urn of Aquarius, containing the Graduale Code Book of Learning, revealing the Gredalis or Degrees of Planetary Initiation, as well as the Grais or Grille—the Patterning of the Planetary Crystal grid upon the surface of the Earth, as the Pathway of the Universal Sacred Journey of Discovery.

The Cup itself is made of reddish gold-silver. Its surface is facetted, making it appear in direct sunlight like a ruby. One Grail legend described it as, “a pure red flame like the dark orange jacinth, or dark red hyacinth,” also called the Granathyazinth. As the Cup is turned, the light plays with the facets in such a unique way as to make the Cup look as if it is passing through five distinct shapes—a double Tetrahedron, a Cube-Octahedron, an Icosa-Dodecahedron, a Double Penta-Dodecahedron, and a Fullerene Hexa-Dodecahedron—the five Crystal energy grids of the Earth in its present evolution past, present and future.

On the outer rim of the Cup on one side, upon which the lip is placed when drinking, is engraved the figure of a Dove, representing the Divine Spirit working through humanity. This Present Age imagery of Grail and Dove shall someday be replaced by the Cycle of Renewal imagery of the Urn and the Phoenix.

Inside the Cup—placed at its bottom, and hidden from general view except when the Cup is lifted for drinking—is an Emerald Crystal, the Emerald Tablet of Deepest Transmutation. This symbolizes the New Jerusalem or Emerald Jade City of the Sacred New Earth to come. In the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in old Jerusalem, a prophecy of the coming New City was reflected in the Omphalos Stone, which existed directly under the dome. It was a pillar of marble two feet high, atop which was set a vessel containing a stone—the symbolic primordial Grail and its Emerald Crystal.

It is remembered as the Archangel Stone, the Deep Green Achmardi, the Oracular Precious Stone, the Perfection of Paradise, the Lapis Philosophorum, the Stone of Light Hidden in Darkness. On the Fourteenth Tarot image once appeared the words, “Within the Earth (the Earthen Cup) you will find the Hidden Stone.”

In Moslem tradition, it is a mirror for the Sacred Stone of the Kaaba, which in the Quran is also associated with a cup. While on his astral journey to the Seventh Heaven, a Voice told the Prophet, “O Mohammed, the All Highest God has created this Goblet for Your enlightenment.” Like the Grail Knights, the Ismali sect of Muslims also had their Quest for Mohammed’s Goblet, with their Grand Lodge located in Cairo not far from the base of the Great Pyramid.

In early Byzantine representations of the Cup, the vessel is shown having the Green Serpent of Wisdom rising out of its interior, symbolic of the Emerald Crystal coming to its full manifestation of power. The Green Serpent was also known as the Shamir, the worm or serpent whose mere touch split and shaped stone. The secret energy of the Shamir was said to be the means by which Hiram of Tyre, in his building of Solomon’s Temple, was able to cut the stonework without the use of tools or human effort.

One is reminded of the Egyptian and Coptic sources describing the use of some form of laser or maser in the shaping of the stone blocks for the Great Pyramid. The Shamir is also linked with the Nine Serpents who entwine themselves around the trunk of the Ygdrasl, or the World Tree, and represent the primordial energies of the planet brought under control.

The Green Serpent of the Emerald Crystal within the Grail symbolizes the human ability to shape and reshape the Earth through harmonization with Divine Will and Love. It is the ultimate expression of the act of planetary meta-creatorship epitomized by the god Ptah at Saqqara.

Overall, the Cup—made of gold, set with the Foundation Gemstones, also embedded with pearls, and containing the Emerald Crysta—-is meant to serve as a model for the New Jerusalem, for these exact same materials and precious stones are described in John’s Book of Revelations as the ingredients of the future Holy City—the Sacred New Earth—itself.

Contained inside the Cup, surrounding the Emerald Crystal, is a Liquid which is a mixture of many elements. Its main ingredient is Holy Water or water imbued with Life Essence. Along with it is a drop of Wine from the Last Supper, and one drop each of blood and sweat from Yeshua, which flowed during the Crucifixion—the DNA-486 of the first example of Homo Deo made manifest.

Within these elements combined is preserved the Ultimate LOGOS—the Script of the Stars, the Lost Word, the Genetic Code for Cosmic Humanity. This is mirrored in the Greek Ambrosias, the Hindu Amrita, the Vedic Soma and the Zoroastrian Hamoa—the Drink of Immortality, the Sacred Fountain of ONENESS.

For those who were and are to be the Keepers of the Grail, the Cup bestowed the power of long life, even immortality, upon those prophesied to one day be able to hold the Vision of its form in unending days. They have and will again undergo the Phoenix Transformation—for those who merely touched it, to live to the age of 200 or 300 years (reminiscent of the Coptic legend that Yeshua lived to the age of 247), whose hair turns white, yet whose bones and skin remain youthful in appearance. And for those destined to absorb and become the Cup—they shall see no death. The number of those who always accompany the Grail is Eight, and are clad in green—in memory of the sacred Ogdoad of Egypt, and the Green God of Saqqara, Osiris-Ptah.

The Cup was so designed that, when it was struck, it produces a sound which resonates with the Earth Herself. The tone also sets the Liquid in the Cup vibrating, forming patterns, symbols and pictures. In the Arthurian legends, when Sir Gawain looked into the Cup, the picture he saw was of a child, representing the birth of his own All Self.

When the Cup is struck fourteen times in rapid succession, the aura of the Sang Real of the Mystic Rose appears to grow out of it, budding into a Blue White Light, which is the calling forth of the Shekina or Presence of AEDRA, the Feminine Aspect of the Divine ONE in Creation.

The day shall soon come when the Cup will once again be rediscovered. And when it will be struck at the right moment, in the Cosmic Cycle of Renewal, then will occur the Marriage of the Christ and Earth, the Highest Selves of both Humanity and the Mother. Out of the uterine Liquid of the Cup the fabled Emerald Crystal will fully emerge, becoming the Matrix giving birth to both a Sacred New Earth and a Sacred New Humanity beyond.

When the Cup made at Saqqara was ready, and the Fourteen Gemstones were set into it, Joseph of Arimathea secretly brought it into Israel, where it was used during the Last Supper. On his way to the Crucifixion, Yeshua passed through the Fourteen Stations of the Cross, which on the highest spiritual levels vicariously symbolized all of humanity as a single Soul Influx completing their Initiations in the first Fourteen Etheric Gemstone Temples of the old Crystal system.

According to the Gospels, Joseph of Arimathea was instrumental, as both a Roman official and a respected member of the Sanhedrin, in obtaining permission from Pontius Pilate to remove the body of Yeshua and quickly transfer it to his own tomb. There, once sealed inside, the Cup was used to hold the aloe, myrrh and mystical Marham-I-Isa herbal ointment, which Nicodemus and other Essene healers utilized to revive Yeshua and restore him to full health.

Drops of his blood and sweat were then placed in the Cup and kept, just as they have also been preserved on the Shroud that temporarily covered his body during the healing process.

In the first few weeks after the Crucifixion that Yeshua remained in Israel, he instructed Joseph of Arimathea and the Three Marys in the Greater Mysteries he was yet to fulfill. He also left the Cup in the care of his mother, Mary. Yeshua then secretly departed Israel, and took up a new identity as Apollonius of Tyana, entering for a time of seclusion into the Greek Orphic, Eleusinian and Apolline Mystery Schools.

Not long after Yesua’s leaving, Joseph was arrested and imprisoned. Others within the inner circle of Yeshua’s followers—including Mary Magdelene, Lazurus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, Mary Jacob-Cleophus and Nicodemus—were also detained. Together with Joseph they were banished from Israel by being cast adrift from the port of Caesarea in boats with no oars or sails. Eventually, however, after great suffering at sea, some of the boats landed in Cyprus where the group proceeded on to Egypt, to Joseph of Arimathea’s original home.

In the meantime, Mary the mother of Yeshua, accompanied by the apostle John, fled to Ephesus in Asia Minor. The Grail also came under the protectorship of John, who in medieval art was sometimes shown holding a chalice in his hand, out from which rose the Great Serpent of Wisdom—a memory of the Emerald Crystal within.

In Egypt, the banished party received aid from the Teachers Evalachis— Keeper of the Sun—and Seraphe—Preserver of Neferatum the Newborn—at Saqqara. A few of the group were allowed to enter into the Hall of Records beneath the Sphinx, to receive special instructions as to their coming Great Work, in preparing the way for a most important Planetary Initiation. The books describing their experiences and the Wisdom given to them, are still preserved beneath the sands of Giza.

The party then departed and traveled to the port of Marseilles, then on up the Rhone river in Gaul, now France. While there, Joseph, with his son Josephes, were joined by the apostles Philip and James. Joseph then journeyed on, leaving Brittany at Marlaix and, according to the sixth century British historian Gildas, arrived in Glastonbury in A.D. 37.

There he was welcomed back by King Aviragus and the Druidic Initiators, who gave him Twelve Hides of land of 160 acres each around the Tor. Upon Wirral or Wearyall Hill, Joseph planted his hawthorn staff, blossoming into the celebrated Thorn Tree, which blooms every Christmastide. He had also brought with him two cruets of white gold filled with the blood and sweat of Yeshua. These were eventually buried with him in his sarcophagus, located somewhere on Hamdon Hill, eighteen miles south of Glastonbury. It is prophesied to be rediscovered someday soon, in the early twenty-first century.

With the aid of Simon Zealotes—who also preached in Egypt before coming to Britain, and was martyred near London in A.D. 44—Joseph finished constructing what became known as the Wattle Church or Ecclesia Vetusta, that had been originally designed by Yeshua. It measured 25 feet in diameter, and was made in its very first form of twisted thicket wood. Remembered as a Church, it was really a School of Initiation.

Joseph also fashioned Chalice Well, with its healing, slightly radioactive waters, after a double-chambered Egyptian design. Around the School’s central structure, he began raising twelve small buildings inside a ditch enclosure—again symbolic of the twelve facets or twelve gates of the coming New Jerusalem.

The purpose of the School was twofold. First, it was a center of learning for certain of Yeshua’s spiritual teachings not made available even to his apostles, and not incorporated within the Petrine and Pauline Church. These teachings dealt with the Mystery of the Fourteen Planetary Gemstones, and the processes of global Transformation.

Early graduates of the School who voyaged back to the Mediterranean world were secretly called the Nazoreans or Guardians—directly linked with the Guardians of the Giza Hall of Records.

Subsequently, Joseph’s son, Josephes, returned to Saqqara to become its Bishop or Grand Initiator, and helped establish in Egypt the Order of Conservers of the Mosaic, Solomonaic, Hermetic and Ormic Secrets.

As late as the thirteenth century, Roman Church Councils condemned as heretics the Josephines or Josephites, the “wandering apostles of Joseph,” who were well known to the Armenians, and had established a center at Constantinople, a major hub for international travel.

The second purpose of the School was to serve as a physical anchor for the developing Etheric Temple above Glastonbury, wherein the Grail itself was to be kept for centuries. Maeigwyn, the sixth century British chronicler, spoke of the invisible “Sphere of the Thirteen Guardians” above the Tor.

The Grail author Albrecht preserved its description as an invisible shrine made of onyx pillars and a dome of gold encrusted with sapphires and rubies, filled with sounds and moving celestial lights. It was located in Terre Forraine—the “Foreign Land”—the mystical designation for another dimension of existence, the etheric planes.

Cervantes described the Grail Castle as a “rotunda,” a “pantheon of crystal,” whose gems glistened from tessellated floors, lofty columns of gold, walls of turquoise covered with writings—azulejos—and a domed ceiling “full of stars,” diamonds, representing the heavens above. Other legends remember it as mystical Monsalvat—an anagram for Mt. St. Avalon—and the Grail Castle of Carbonek, watched over by the Archangel Michael.

In A.D. 61, Joseph of Arimathea left Glastonbury and journeyed to Ephesus, to receive from the apostle John—just before his exile to the island of Patmos—the protectorship of Mother Mary and the Cup. Joseph also acquired from John the Book of Yeshua, called the “little book” in Revelations, and also alluded to in John’s Gospel, 21:25.

Another title for the Book was the New Law. It was described as a scroll no larger than the palm of the hand, yet which was filled with a tremendous quantity and quality of writings, including the Keys to the Book of Revelations, the latter which at that time had already been partially experienced by John, but not as yet put fully into words.

The Book of Yeshua contains the true nature of both the Grail and his relation to it, as well as the meaning of his planetary Work. It contains chapters on the Grail, and also the “great terror.” The Grail was to represent a positive way of life, and a positive future; the “great terror” prophesied what will happen if the positive road is not followed.

The Keys were codified into a a newly engraved geometric grid on the Cup’s inner surface. These codes are the Greater Keys to the Mystic Christed Nature, the Hebrew Essenic Coming of the Adam Kadmon, the Archetypal Sky Man, the Cosmic Being that can be born within each individual. Here is another one of the KEYS to the Birthing of Homo Deo.

Mary returned with Joseph to Glastonbury, carrying the Cup with her. For the next fifteen years, working with Mary Magdalene and Mary Jacob-Cleophas, the three helped refine the Somerset center into a major Mystery School. When Mary died, she was buried in the area which later became St. Mary’s Chapel, as part of Glastonbury Abbey.

Soon after the Grail was brought to Glastonbury, a terrible winter followed a poor harvest. Joseph prepared a sacred Table for the Grail, symbolizing the Last Supper celebration, and looking ahead to Arthur’s Table to come. Twelve loaves and twelve fish were placed on it, and then the Grail Cup itself. In a repeat of Yeshua’s miracle years before, the food on the Table multiplied to feed over four thousand people. The Cup thus contains within itself the Powers of Planetary Life and Abundance.

The Grail was initially placed in a hidden chamber within Chalice Well. There it remained until A.D. 70, when it was brought out for a special ceremony. In that year Glastonbury was visited by Yeshua in his new personality. Up to this time, he had been secretly in touch with Joseph through his brother James, who had known of his true identity.

In the latter portion of his second life, as Apollonius of Tyana, Yeshua had now organized a party of Nazoreans to travel with him on a world odyssey. Just prior to his coming to Glastonbury, he had undergone a special Planetary Initiation within the Giza Hall of Records, and inside the Great Pyramid, where he had received the Vision of the next phase of his Great Work. Once in Somerset, in a secret ceremony with Joseph of Arimathea and the Three Marys, Yeshua removed the Fourteen Planetary Gemstones from the outer surface of the Cup, and took them with him.

Over a period of the next century and a half, Yeshua and his special entourage traveled the route of the entire old Crystal energy grid of the planet, temporarily implanting the Fourteen Gemstones in their key locations, as a first step in the coming release of the Etheric Gemstone Temple anchors. Also, wherever he journeyed, he completed within himself all the separate cultural Initiation processes of the world, successfully fulfilling all the ancient Mystery School graduations, and pointing forward to their future blending together into One Planetary Initiation, for the New Golden Age yet to come.

This Great Work, of the initial Christing-Anointing of collective humanity, and the completed Crystallizing of the planet, went hand-in-hand.

Once his labors and travels were finished, Yeshua returned to Egypt, where he lived out his last years incognito, according to Coptic Templar traditions, reaching the age of 247 years. The full account of his long life and what he accomplished were among the last o the living Masters’ books to be placed in the Giza Hall of Records. Here, and inside the King’s Chamber, he drew his last breaths, and in a special Cosmic Initiation attained by very few individuals, Transcended into the Highest Celestial Realms. He has now truly become the COSMIC CHRIST.

Today, Yeshua has left us with a legacy to take to the next step—to oversee the final dissolution of the present Crystal structure, and help Meta-Create the new Crystal, the Sacred New Earth, as well as inaugurate within that new form a new Pathway of Planetary Initiation, for all of humanity reborn into a higher energy of awareness. This is the real meaning and purpose of the advent of the NEW JERUSALEM.

Before his death in A.D. 82, Joseph of Arimathea established a line of Grail Keepers who helped preserve the Cup, now placed in the etheric Temple above Glastonbury Tor. The First Keepers were Joseph’s sister Eugyneus and her husband Bron, and the third Keeper was Joseph’s other son, Alain. These and their successors later became known as the Fisher (Piscean) Kings and the Grail Queens of the mystic Grail Castle.

In the beginning they were also Masters of the School of Joseph and the Three Marys. But the School, as well as the spiritual Glastonbury community, went through many changes in the next millennium. By A.D. 100 the Glastonbury community consisted of 600, with 150 disciples attending the School. Within a century, however, the community declined. Yet each of the original twelve disciples who had come with Joseph—with their thirteenth Teacher who embodied the Mystical Fourteenth Presence of the Divine ONE— were continually replaced at the death of each member so that a constant number was maintained. In later years they would be called the Thirteen Anchorites.

The School was restored in A.D. 180 by King Lucius, who was baptized at Chalice Well, and built St. Michael’s tower on the Tor. It was made from the Megalithic dolmen and other standing stones on its summit, before its partial destruction in the earthquake of 1276.

In A.D. 430, St. Patrick gathered the Anchorites under one roof, organizing the first Glastonbury monastery. The Irish saint was later buried at Glastonbury in A.D. 472, his remains placed inside a silver pyramid.

The sixth century saw the advent of King Arthur and his Twelve Knights and Twelve Ladies, all of whom traced their ancestry back to Joseph of Arimathea. Arthur and Guinevere were buried in Avalan-Glastonbury, in the Monks Cemetery between two stone pyramids, in A.D. 542. Four yeas later St. Paulinus enclosed the existing School structure of Joseph and Yeshua in a church with a wood frame and a lead roof. It was eventually destroyed by fire in 1184. Within a century St. Mary’s Chapel and the rest of Glastonbury Abbey was built over the site, which flourished until the Abbey was destroyed in the Dissolution of 1539 by Henry VIII.

During the reign of Arthur, the grand Initiator of Britain--called Merlin or Myrddin the Receiver of the Awen or Divine Light by the Clelts, and Ambrosius the Immortal by the Romans—inaugurated the Gral Quest among the participants of the Round Table. Three Knights—Percival, Bors and Galahad—succeeded in retrieving the Cup from its etheric Grail Castle safe-keeping, and transported it back to Sarras or Saqqara soon after A.D. 542.

On the journey, Percival detoured into central Asia along the Silk Road to make the Grail’s last connection with Prestor John—also identified in Grail legend as Perille the Asian Prince—and the old Aeion, the King of Shamballa. Percival’s mentor in the journey was his half-brother, Feirefis, born in the Levant, and one of the medieval Guardians of Giza and Saqqara. Following this, for a brief period both Percival and his sister Dandrane—who died and had been restored to life by the Healers of Imhotep-Asclepius—became Masters of the Saqqara Multi-Versity.

Their last act was to return the Cup to the Coptic Church of St. Jeremias at Saqqara, where it was placed in an underground system of chambers directly below it, that are interlinked with the Giza chambers of the Hall of Records.

According to Grail legend prophecy, it will be THREE future descendents of Percival who will be among the Openers, who will bring the Cup back into the light of day, and who shall also “return the World to its freedom, and reveal the true nature of the Cross”—the real meaning and purpose of Yeshua’s Great Work upon the Earth. In the symbolic collective karmic sense, the Mystic Three will represent both the Three Magi who discovered the child Yeshua and the Three Angels who warned Abraham of the coming destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Their global labor will be one of hope and warning for the future.

The Knights of the Grail Temple or Templists were later succeeded by the Knight Templars. They were founded in 1118 by nine knights, who were mostly from the Languedoc and Champaigne regions of southern France, including the Count of Provence. Their number was a reflection of the ancient Ogdoad of Thoth at Hermopolis in Egypt, as well as a mirror for the Nine Openers to the Hall of Records to come. They also represented the Nine Essenic cities around Lake Galilee, with Capernum at the head, and the Nine Gates to Solomon’s Temple on Mount Moriah. The Knights’ purpose was to marry together the Mysticism of the East and West, of the Judeo-Christian and Islamic worlds.

Their belief in the unity of all religions into one Universal Order was epitomized in their secret motto, based on a Catharist Provençal saying, Crezetz en la lutz, que siatz filh de lutz—“Believe in the light that you may be a son (or daughter) of light.” Ultimately, like their Masonic cousins—descendant from the Roman Magistri Comacini—the Templars believed in One God, the Architect of the Universe, in whom all could identify, and partake with in reshaping the world into harmonic patterns commensurate with the Divine Order.

Unlike the prevailing Catholic concepts, that one could only be saved through the redemption of the Church, the Templars understood that each person was responsible for their own spiritual growth, and that at the very foundation of growth is the Sacred Geometry of the Spirit, defining the Pathways of Initiation into the Greater Mysteries of the Divine Mind and Heart.

The Templars secretly worshipped Sophia, who is AEDRA, the Feminine Aspect of the Divine in Continuous Creation. In this they had strong connections not only with the Cathars, but also with the Gnostics, and the various Islamic sects, including the early Sufis. The Templar sign was the Engrailed Cross, having an octagonal division, with the Mystic Rose in its center, symbolizing the Mystery of Mary Magdalene—the completion of the Nine. The Templars’ spiritual ally, St. Bernard of Clairvaux—who through his Cistercian Order helped the Templars establish their sacred power centers across Europe in conjunction with the building of the great Gothic cathedrals—took the Nine to the next level, as the double five-petaled Rose.

When the Templar Order was established in Britain in 1303, its crest contained two pentacles—pointing forward to the double Penta-Dodeca pentacles of the future New Jerusalem Crystal grid.

The Mystic Rose aspect was in turn interconnected with the Secret Healers, sometimes identified as the Order of the White Rose, and the later Rosy Cross, the Rosicrucians. Much of the Templar Wisdom derived from their Middle East sources dealt with the curative powers of plants and herbs, grown in medical gardens called rosaries. A whole body of knowledge, preserved in a collection of occult works, called the Rosarum Philosophorum, was in fact an enclyclopedia of herbalism and homeopathy, symbolized by the Apocathery Rose. The medicinal gardens of old harked back to the Garden of Solomon in his Temple, which in turn had its conceptual origins in the still older healing gardens of Egypt, as found portrayed at Karnak, the Temple of Hatshepsut—and particularly as discovered at Saqqara, the Center of Planetary Healing along the Nile. This became the basis of the Garden of Delights, and the legends of Eden and Paradise among Grail lore.

After their initial establishment in Jerusalem, the Templars held the sacred precincts of Solomon’s Temple for ninety years, during which they gleaned the secrets of its hidden secret vaults. The octagonal-shaped Dome of the Rock mosque atop its ruins had been designed by Caliph Omar, who had had access to the last books of Alexandria.

The Templars, as revealed in their mystic work, the Leviticon, believed that there was no religion except nature itself, and that this was perfectly preserved in the Temples of Initiation in Egypt. Eventually, the Templars, with the aid of King Peter of Cyprus, briefly captured Alexandria, where they made an important connection with the Ismailis, and with the Coptic Templar Order, to learn the secrets of the Great Pyramid and the Hall of Records, at that time under their care.

They recognized that the perfect expression of the Sacred Octagon is the Octahedron, or two Pyramids end to end, with the shared Square base representing the hidden Ninth Side, wherein lies the Secret of Forgotten Wisdom, the entrance to the lost Hall. The Opening is made manifest by the Mystical Fusion of the two Pyramids, creating a three-dimensional Star of David.

Just how much the Templars, through their later Masonic and Rosicrucian offspring, influenced the founding fathers of the United States, can be seen by the appearance of both the Pyramid and the thirteen stars in a Star of David configuration, portrayed on the Great Seal of the Nation, shown on every American dollar bill.

After the fall of Jerusalem back into Moslem control, the Templars lost their spiritual connections with the Holy Land and with Egypt. They turned their spiritual land and sea network of sacred sites into a commercial empire, and with the focus shifted to material concerns, their wealth drew upon them the envy of the prevailing political and religious powers. In 1307, the Templars were persecuted and officially abolished by Philip IV of France and Pope Celement V, after which the Knights took on a more subdued role, escaping to Portugal, Spain, the Catharist retreats in southern France and to Scotland.

Some joined the Knights of the Hospital of St. John (the Hospitallers), who later became the Knights of Malta, or fought with the Teutonic Knights of Germany.

Elsewhere, they transformed themselves into the less conspicuous Knights of Christ, and continued their secret search for sacred sites and sacred relics around the globe. Among their number were such early explorers as Vasco de Gama, and Prince Henry the Navigator, who was a Grand Master. In Scotland, the Templars eventually became incorporated into the Scottish Order of Freemasonry, and through Henry St. Clair, First Early of Orkney, initiated the first large-scale European exploration of North America in 1390—a century before Columbus—in order to establish a Templar Kingdom in the New World.

They claimed—as did John Dee to Queen Elizabeth two centuries later—that they were merely retracing the sacred energy routes of the Knights of Avalon, in their Grail Quests around the world, who in turn were following the same global pathways of the Crystal grid that Yeshua and his geomantic disciples took centuries earlier still. Though the Templar attempt at establishing their Kingdom was premature, their Scottish descendants, as eighteenth century colonizers, did realize the Templar dream when they helped in the establishment of the American Republic.

At the death of the Templar Order in France, the then Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, along with his chief lieutenants, sacrificed themselves at the religious trials of Paris, in order to buy time so that the Templar sacred treasures and Secret Wisdom could be safely transported out of France, to find save haven elsewhere. Some of their objects and books were sent to Portugal and Scotland, but the rest was taken to a location undisclosed.

Very significantly, in a recently rediscovered Templar charter manuscript dated 1324, Jean-Mark Larmenius, who had been appointed in secret to become the succeeding Grand Master to the martyred de Molay, in turn passed on the title and responsibilities of the remaining Templars to Theobald of Alexandria.

The fact that someone with connections to the land of Egypt would be given Templar command indicates that it was in this direction that the Secret Wisdom of the Order took its final flight.

Somewhere, either at Giza or more likely at Saqqara, the last Mysteries of the Grail Knights came full circle, coming home to the place where the Grail had been made and its legends began.

In the present day, the remaining Grail Knights have submerged themselves even deeper into modern society, invisibly working behind the scenes. Even now, they work among the nations in subtle yet influential ways, preparing for the future Return and Final Fulfillment of the Cup’s existence.

One of the treasures which the future Openers will discover in their Great Quest of entering the Giza Hall of Records, will be the finding of the Grail once more.

In fact, its form and contents will serve as an important Key for eventually crossing the Sphinx Threshold, into the main body of the Hall itself.

It will be in the Initiation process along the Nile, as preparation for the Openings, that the Grail of Saqqara will play a most vital role in the Openers’ Transformational process.

In the first half of the twenty-first century, one of the Hall’s Openers, who will come from Britain, will be one of the ancient descendants of Joseph of Arimathea and the Court of Arthur, and will return the Cup from Saqqara to Glastonbury, placing it once more in its etheric Temple above the Tor.

The Cup will then be dissolved, leaving only the Emerald Crystal birthed out of it.

The fulfillment of the Cup’s ultimate purpose will also signal the Return of Arthur, the once and future King, to symbolically rule the world as its benevolent monarch, in a True Age of Peace.

His attempts to bring peace at the Round Table and in the Grail Quest will be only a reflection of what will be finally manifested both physically and spiritually in the planet as a whole.

The end of the Cup will also help in the disappearance of the old Grail Temple, while in its place the Emerald Crystal will serve as the gemstone code-transmitter that will draw down the Etheric Gemstone Temple of EMERALD over the area.

This Etheric Gemstone Temple will serve as one of the new Spiritual Pole Points for the Sacred New Earth, and will be anchored over Park Wood in Butleigh, the center of the great Zodiac of Glastonbury.

In time, a whole new set of Fourteen Planetary Gemstones, corresponding to the new Fourteen Etheric Gemstone Temples of the New Jerusalem Crystal grid, will be fashioned and prepared, using some of the ancient Wisdom, Formulae and Instruments stored in the Hall of Records.

In the future, the Etheric Gemstone Temples will be expanded to Thirty-three in number. These will each in their turn draw out the etheric gemstone code-transmitters hidden away in the major global Halls of Records, interlinked with the one at Giza, to be used as the final anchoring vehicles for the fuller complement of the Etheric Gemstone Temples of the new Crystal system.

Eventually, the new Planetary Gemstones—which this time will take the shape of crystal eggs and spheres—will be gathered together and placed in a large Emerald Jade Urn, symbol for the Aquarian Age and the Cycle of Renewal.

The spheres will rest inside the Urn in such a manner as to represent one aspect of the Cosmic Tree of Universal Love—the marriage of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge creating a Fourfold Tree of Sacred New Cosmic Creation.

Instead of being filled with the Waters of Life as was the Cup, the new Urn and its crystal spheres will be immersed in Liquid Etheric Fire.

As the Urn is gently struck, its resulting vibrations, amplified by the fire and the crystals inside, will not only set the harmonics for the Song of the New Earth and the New Humanity, but it will also reach upwards to set the new Music of the Spheres of the Cosmos.
