Ultimate Initiation—Beyond the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid
Report Topics:
- An Experiential Journey before the Sphinx, inside the Three Giza Pyramids and a Final Initiation within the Chambers of the Great Pyramid
Full Report:
In ages past a sacred road of royal alabaster led from the entrance to the Temple of Atum-Ra in Heliopolis directly to the paws of the Sphinx in Giza, a distance of over fifteen miles. The road no longer exists, but I feel that my present journey back to the Sphinx is now along an etheric Pathway of Crystalline Light.
In the bright desert Sun, the three triangles of the Pyramids thrust upward into the pale sky, like beacons beckoning me home.
Below them the face of the Sphinx with its enigmatic smile and ageless stare is as the countenance of a Mother or Father who sees the return of their Son or Daughter, now grown into maturity.
I find I have a spiritual knapsack filled with gifts I am to leave at various locations, thank offerings and symbols representing my letting go of the old me and the acceptance of the new me now being birthed within.
First, I enter the Temple of the Sphinx. It is both a place for Preparation, and for looking back on the great odyssey I have been on, the experiences I have had so far.
As I walk through the red stone archways of the Temple, I remember my experiences from not only this present journey I am on, but also from other journeys in other lifetimes. All together they have formed one continuous pattern of Initiations relived from many ages in former lives.
All this I have gone through, and yet it is all but a series of steps leading me to where I am right now. Walking through the great stone archways of this Temple, I am strongly reminded of the archways of the Osireion at Abydos, where in an out-of-body experience I came to the very Doorway of the realm beyond Death.
Now I face a similar challenge, for my Higher Self, Highest Self, All Self and Star Self have shown me that I am about to go before an even greater Portal—the Gateway to the Cosmos.
Before departing with my etheric hosts, the winged Urshu who are the Cosmic Keepers of this Most Sacred Place, as a gift I leave a lock of my hair in a special place within the Temple of the Sphinx. This lock symbolizes my head, and my opened Third Eye, Crown and Higher Chakras, linked to my Heart Chakra.
“May these higher centers be now filled, surrounded and protected in the ONE Light, Love and Spirit. For it will be through these and from these that my soul-spirit shall leave on its Final Odyssey.
“Thank you, Blessed ONE. I am Coming.”
The Urshu Watchers, as an acceptance of my presence here, as well as of my candidacy for the Final Initiation process, now conduct me before the Sphinx.
My Old Friend gazes into the light of the eastern Sun. Now, however, for the first time a Voice comes forth from the ancient monument, speaking to me from within. Its Message is clear:
“WISDOM NEVER CHANGES. IT IS THE WORLD WHICH CHANGES. ONE MEASURES CHANGE BY HOW THE WORLD HAS FORGOTTEN OR REDISCOVERS WISDOM.
“I AM THE EPITOME OF THAT MOST ANCIENT WISDOM, LOST NOW, BUT SOON TO BE FOUND. AND WHAT CHANGES THE WORLD WILL SEE THEN.
“HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?
“WHEN OF OLD DID THE ANCIENT ONES PLACE THEIR SECRETS WITHIN MY HEART?
“HOW OFTEN HAS THE SUN SHONE UPON MY FACE, REVEALING THE EXPRESSION OF LOVE, SACREDNESS, KNOWLEDGE AND PATIENCE, BY WHICH THE ANCIENT ONES WERE KNOWN, AND SHALL BE KNOWN AGAIN?
“HOW MANY MILLENNIA HAVE MY EYES STARED OUT, SEEING AS NO OTHER CAN SEE?
“BENEATH MY PAWS, BENEATH THE SHIFTING SANDS, IS THE FORGOTTEN PYRAMID, WHICH THE ANCIENT ONES PLACED IN ANOTHER DIMENSION, BUT ONE DAY THEY WILL BRING BACK INTO THIS PHYSICAL REALITY, FOR ALL SOULS TO WITNESS.
“COME FORTH. LET THE ANCIENT ONES RETURN TO ME ONCE AGAIN. LET THEM ENTER INTO MY WOMB, AND LET THEM ENTER DEEP WITHIN THEMSELVES.
“FOR INSIDE MY GUARDIAN FIGURE ARE BUT SYMBOLS.
“THEY ARE THE KEYS THAT UNLOCK ONLY THE MINDS AND HEARTS OF THE ANCIENT ONES.
“NO ONE BUT THEY CAN GAZE UPON THE SYMBOLS AND COMPREHEND.
“NO ONE BUT THEY CONTAIN THE WISDOM WHICH THE KEYS CAN OPEN.
“TO THE WORLD THE KEYS WILL BE MEANINGLESS AND APPEAR FOOLISH, AND FOR THAT REASON THE WISDOM IS SAFE.
“THE ANCIENT ONES WHO ARE AMONG YOU ONCE MORE IN MANY GUISES, ARE WALKING STOREHOUSES, LIVING LIBRARIES—MANY AS YET UNKNOWING. FOR THE WISDOM LIES DEEP IN THE VAULTS OF THEIR SOUL-MINDS AND HEARTS, LOCKED AWAY FOR THE PARAMOUNT TIME OF REVELATION.
“AND THAT TIME IS HERE AND NOW, AND THE GATHERING IS HAPPENING. THE GATHERING OF THE ANCIENT ONES IS HAPPENING.
“SOON, VERY SOON, THEY WILL COME TO ME, MY ANCIENT CHILDREN, WHEN THE EXACT MOMENT IS RIGHT, JOINING THEIR HANDS, MINDS AND HEARTS AS ONE BENEATH MY SUNLIT GAZE, SINGING AS ONE VOICE THE SONG OF KNOWING.
“ENTER, MY CHILDREN.
“YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR INITIATIONS AMONG THE TEMPLES OF THE NILE, AND EVEN AMONG THE TEMPLES OF ALL THE WORLD.
“YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE INNER KEYS. FIND THE KEYS AND APPLY THEM.
“LET THE FLOODGATES OF YOUR MINDS AND HEARTS BE OPENED.
“LET THE ANCIENT WISDOM YOU SO CAREFULLY PLACED THERE WITHIN YOUR SECRET HIGHEST BEING BURST FORTH INTO LIGHT.
“IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE. THE WORLD NEEDS CHANGE. AND THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THE WISDOM YOU SHALL REVEAL IS CHANGELESS.
“IT IS OF OLD, IT IS NOW, AND SHALL EVER BE.
“I AM GUARDIAN.
“I AM REVEALER.
“I AM THE SPHINX.
“IN MY ENIGMATIC SMILE IS BOTH THE QUESTION AND THE ANSWER.”
In honor of this Message given to me by the Sphinx, I now give a gift of a stone I brought with me from the home I come from. I pick up a stone in turn to take with me. In this simple manner, I leave behind my old connections with the world I once knew, and I now accept fully my New Life in a New World that I know is coming.
As I remain standing before the Sphinx, and in the ensuing silence contemplate the meaning of Her Message still ringing in my ears, my Third Eye perceives the image of a goddess coming forth into the sunlight.
It is Sesheta, the Protective Deity of the Sphinx. As she has told me, she is also goddess of the Hall of Records. In this aspect, too, she represents the Hall of Records that exists within me, the Highest and Most Esoteric of Wisdoms, the Secret Knowledge of my Cosmic Origins, my True Purpose and Final Destiny as a Spark of the ONE.
Sesheta now points toward the chest of the Sphinx. A Light of unbelievable magnitude begins to form.
THE DOORWAY INTO THE MONUMENT IS OPENING.
As the Doorway between the paws of the Sphinx opens into the Hall of Records beneath, the goddess suddenly steps before me and holds her finger to her lips.
This is the ancient sign for me to be silent, not to communicate about what I see and remember further. Sesheta now speaks.
“THE MYSTERY OF THE PREPARATIONS FOR THE FINAL INITIATION IS SEALED TO ALL AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME.
“EVEN THE LOCATION OF THIS PLACE IS TO REMAIN A MYSTERY FOR THE TIME BEING, UNTIL THE RIGHT COSMIC MOMENT ARRIVES.
“YOUR MEMORIES OF THIS PLACE AND THE EVENTS WHICH HAVE TAKEN PLACE WITHIN ARE TO REMAIN BLANK FOR NOW. THERE ARE STILL KARMIC COMPLETIONS YOU MUST FULFILL BEFORE THIS CAN BE REVEALED.”
The Doorway of Light fades away, and I humbly accept what the goddess has told me. She now reveals what is to come.
In the processes that follow, I must journey into the inner chambers of all three of the Giza Pyramids.
Here shall take place the final acts of giving up the last attachments, the last obstacles to my Transcendence experience.
Sesheta takes me by the hand and together we fly over the Sphinx, over the central Giza plateau and its hidden underground chambers, and I arrive together before the entrance to the Third Pyramid.
The goddess now offers me her parting words before disappearing.
“HERE YOU MAY RESUME YOUR JOURNEY, AND REMEMBER.”
“Blessed ONE, I light a candle and incense, and enter into the depths of the Third Pyramid, into the central chamber of the Temple for Transcending the Physical.”
After a moment of deep focusing within, I now take a wax image of myself, a statuette of my old Self, and hold it in the flame of the candle, lighting it on fire.
It melts and drips to the floor.
By this, I separate my Soul-Mind-Heart from all attachments to my physical being.
I now take a piece of gold and place it in a secret place within the chamber. It is my gift, and also my symbol of detachment from the material things of the physical world.
By not being bound to either my physical body or the physical world, I now am ruler and master of both.
The goddess Weret Hekau now comes forth, the Mystress of Great Magic, the Lady of Alchemical Transmutation. She is now the UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE of RECEPTIVITY.
Over my shoulder she places an etheric Robe of Indigo Light that shall forever feed the Violet Flame which constantly envelops, transforms and attunes every atom of my body into the highest vibrations.
“Thank you. It is good. It is done. Let it be so. I am at Total Peace with the Physical Realm.”
“Blessed ONE, with lighted candle and incense I now penetrate into the largest and centermost of the chambers of the Second Pyramid, the Temple for Transcending the Emotional and Mental aspects of Self.”
Finding the Inner Silence, I now take a piece of papyrus with my name written on it, which represents my emotional-mental identity, and put it within the flame of the candle.
Catching fire, it drops from my fingers and falls as blackened ash upon the chamber floor.
And thereby I release my Soul-Mind-Heart from all attachment to my Earthbound emotions and mind of my old Self.
I place amid the ashes of my name an old key, symbolizing that I release the Key of Higher Wisdom out of my hands and into the mainstream of the Divine Pattern, that I may be forever guided by the Blessed ONE, as Its Spirit moves within the Flow of All Existence.
A form appears. The entity who now comes forth is Smam-Ur, the Mind and Feelings of the Earth, and the Soul of Hathor. He is now Transformed into the UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE of DIGNITY. He now presents to me and places upon my head an etheric Crown of Gold and Rose Light.
It represents my mastery over the emotional and mental worlds, and the Total Attunement of my Soul-Mind-Heart to the Center of Centers in the Cosmos, and to my Celestial or Star Self which dwells there, waiting for my Return.
“Thank you. It is good. It is done. It is so. I am at Total Peace with the Emotional-Mental Realms.”
“Blessed ONE, I have descended the long and difficult passage to enter the bottom of the known chambers inside the Great Pyramid, the Temple of Becoming Pure Spirit.”
With lit candle and incense, I have come to stand before the open Pit of the Chamber. I go deep within myself. I now take a feather, symbol of Truth and Spirit, and drop it into the Pit.
As the feather drifts slowly downward, so I release my Spirit into the Wind of the Divine Breath, knowing that Spirit and Breath are One.
So doing, I give up attachment to Spirit itself, and thereby release my Soul's propensity to returning into the Earth plane.
My lessons are finished, my challenges are over, and the cycle of death and rebirth into this world has no more purpose. I need now prepare for Graduation.
The god who comes before me in this moment is Men-Sheta, the Establisher of What is Secret. He has now become the UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE of LEADERSHIP. He takes the form of an old man leaning on a staff, and carrying a lantern. He is the Guardian Spirit of the Great Pyramid, and also represents the last image in the Riddle of the Sphinx given to Oedipus—the image of the three-legged being who is Humanity in its Final Maturity, just before Cosmic Rebirth. He is also the Tarot image of the Hermit.
To me, Men-Sheta presents an etheric Staff of Crystalline Light that I must hold in my right hand, the hand of transmission.
This Staff signifies my rulership over my Spirit Self, my Higher Soul-Heart and Soul-Mind and Soul-Spirit in Perfect Fusion, and the power to release them forever into the Cosmos, whenever I sense with Inner Knowing that I am ready to do so.
“Its glow is as the Glow of the Spark of the ONE within me. I am at Total Peace with my Spirit. It is good. It is done. So let it be. I am at Total Peace with the True Spirit of Who I Am.”
“Blessed ONE, climbing upward through both the Descending and Ascending Passages in the Great Pyramid, I now enter with lit candle and incense into the beautiful white limestone room called the Queen's Chamber.”
Upon its floor I place a single flower as a gift. Its colored petals shall turn black and die, yet within its inner pod is contained the seeds of new life.
I too now fully accept that All of Who I Am and Have Become must be given up totally, so that Who I Am may Transcend into a higher level of existence, into the Essence of Who I Am Becoming.
The goddess who appears before me now is Anat the Opener of Ways. She is now the UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE of EXPANSION. To me she presents an etheric Orb of New Life, the Philosopher's Egg, the Egg of Creation, the Egg of Myrrh out of which the etheric Bennu Bird arises to New Being. Within the Orb I receive the First Rays from my Celestial or Star Self.
Suddenly around me the white walls of the Chamber dissolve. I am in the presence of a great multitude of Higher Initiates, each holding an Orb of Light in their hands.
Together we stand under the night sky, filled with a canopy of stars, even as the ceiling of the Chamber itself was once covered with images of stars amid a blue background. As a thousand times a thousand Orbs burn in this place, they reflect the light of the stars above.
And in their midst Anat the Opener of Ways envelops the heavens, within whose celestial realms glitter the lights of millions of Transcended Souls.
There She speaks and says,
“I AM ALL THAT HAS EVER BEEN. I AM WHAT IS. I AM ALL THAT SHALL EVER BE. NO MORTAL CAN PERCEIVE WHO I AM. HERE IS THE ESSENCE OF MYSTERY.”
“Thank you. It is good. It is done. It is so. I am ready for Graduation into Eternal Peace.”
“Blessed ONE, I walk up the long ramp-way through the Grand Gallery and climb the Great Step.”
There at the entranceway into the Antechamber and King's Chamber stands Djehutis, the Master of Initiation and Divine Wisdom.
He appears as one who has waited these many ages for my return.
Upon my right hand he places an etheric Blue White Ring, symbol of my intimate connection with the Cosmos and the Cosmic Wisdom that is now mine.
Djehutis leads me by the right hand through the Antechamber, which is also called the Chamber of the Triple Veil, or the Invisible Curtains of the Three Realities—Physical, Emotional-Mental and Spiritual.
As I pass through each one, each Veil of Reality dissolves into Illusion, and I now see beyond, into the Reality of Pure Being and Becoming, into the King's Chamber.
I now enter the Holy of Holies of the Great Pyramid.
“Blessed ONE, I light my candle and incense, and place them upon the edge of the Great Stone Box at the far end of the King's Chamber.”
Within this sacred center of the monument, which represents the Earth, I leave a quartz crystal I have brought with me on my odyssey. In a special place I give it as my Final Gift to Hathor, the Earth Mother.
I thank her for serving as my Classroom Experience, for the many lives I have spent upon her physical form, and also for giving me many physical forms as well—the vehicles of Birth and Rebirth for my Spirit Essence to reside within.
But now is the time to leave—to leave the Earth, to leave my physical shell behind and Ascend as pure Spirit-Soul into the stars, to the very Gateway into the Cosmos.
I place a woolen blanket onto the floor of the Great Stone Box. I climb into the Box, and I anoint my head, my Third Eye and my Heart with perfume oil. I lay yourself down, my head pointing to the north.
Peering over the edge of the Box above me are the images of Six Masters.
At my feet are Harpocrates-Horus and Hathor, my Child Self grown up into my Higher Self, and my Feminine Self, the Inner Christed One and the Earth Mother.
At my head are Djehutis and Maat, Divine Wisdom and Divine Truth.
On my left stands Ra, my Divine Self transformed into my All Self.
And on my right hand Sesheta looks down, my Celestial or Star Self.
Horus and Djehutis pour forth over me out of etheric Vials of Sapphire two streams of liquid Ankhs and Wsers—the signs of Eternal Life and Power—in a Baptism of Final Graduation.
A sound of many voices chanting together, of low pitched bells continually chiming, of a rush of wings and the flowing of a great river—all these envelop me, as does a sea of Amber Light.
I find myself standing up inside the Great Stone Box, looking down at a body with my face, remaining still and silent below.
I am out of my body.
As the sounds rise in pitch, and the Amber Light becomes almost blinding, from above me, I am greeted by Beings with great wings and jeweled eyes. These are the Wetennu, the Spirits of Heaven, the Messenger Beings of the Cosmos, who herald the coming of a new Soul into the Highest Dimensions.
The Wetennu are now the UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE of ACTION. They help me now.
I rise upon the rush of their wings out of the Great Stone Box, out of the King's Chamber, through the etheric Golden Capstone of the Pyramid, out over the Giza plateau and the Sphinx, spiraling upward and northward, on a Great Stairway into the Heavens.
“Blessed ONE, I rise to meet you.”
I continue to ascend, beyond the Earth, beyond the Planetary Dimensions, to the realms of the Constellations. I become as a rising Star, and meet other Stars, who are the Transcended Souls.
Among them are the Akhemu-Urchtu, the Stars Who Never Rest. These are the Star Children who by their Choice of Ultimate Service choose to return from time to time back into the physical world, having a deep desire to offer themselves as Teachers and Guides to those Initiates still struggling upward upon the Earth, through the various levels of Learning and Challenge.
Beyond the Akhemu-Urchtu is the celestial realm of the Akhemu-Seku, the Stars Who Never Come Down. They are those Star Children who do not return, but as Advanced Souls act as Spirit Helpers. They appear in dreams, meditations and visions, giving advice and Higher Knowledge on the Pathway of Initiation.
It is both these Akhemu Beings who have been Transformed to become the UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE of TRANQUILITY.
There are still others among the Stars who now coalesce into their patterns, the patterns then manifest into Beings, and the Beings now present themselves to me, each one symbolizing an ancient constellation that has Transcended into the next series of UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES of NATURE. They are divided into thirty-six sections or decans, of ten degrees and ten days each.
These, plus the Pentacle Entities, born on the remaining five days of the year, as well as the Entity of the Mystic Leap Day, equal forty-two cosmic aspects in total. These are the Forty-two RECORDERS of the Cosmic Heart, echoing the Forty-two Assessors of my Inner Soul Heart. Each comes to me in their turn, then vanishes back among the depths of the heavens.
They are known as the FORTY-TWO NAMELESS ONES OF THE COSMOS.
These various Heavenly Beings encircle yet another level--the Celestial Pole of the North, the Portal or Gateway of the Soul into the Center of Centers, the ONE Source of All Creation.
Here the Stairway ends. And here I stand upon the last Step.
From here I need only take one more flight into the Unfathomable Brilliance beyond to become not a Star but a Supernova—a Light expanding forever into Eternity, entering Realms of Being I cannot even begin to comprehend.
“Through this Great Wheel of the Stars is the Face of You, Blessed ONE. You are that first Spark from which my Spark, my Soul Existence, first came, and desires now after all these many millennia of Time to enter back into. I yearn to be One with the Creator Who is Every-Creating.”
But here I pause.
Here I make a Choice, one which I now realize I made long ago.
“Though I am ready to fully Transcend, and Your arms are open to me, Blessed ONE, I Know with the Knowing that is You within me, that I must return. I have chosen to become one who Teaches those still struggling upward in the physical Schoolhouse of the Earth.”
Once I have made my Choice and my Decision, the Wheel of the Constellations and Stars before me begins to recede and I find myself falling backward down out of the Cosmos, through the Planetary Dimensions, back to the Earth, to Egypt, to Giza, to the Great Pyramid—and I awaken inside the King's Chamber.
I look up to see my candle and incense still burning on the rim of the Great Stone Box. I have returned to my physical body again. I rise up clumsily at first, trying to get accustomed to the weight of gravity upon my spirit once more.
I stand upright in the Great Stone Box, gathering up my blanket and other items I brought with me to this place, ready to leave the now empty and silent Chamber. Yet I do not feel alone, for all those spirits who I have met in my Final Initiations here are still very much with me.
IN UNISON THEY NOW ALL SING TOGETHER THE SAME WORDS:
“YOUR META-CREATORSHIP HAS NOW BEGUN.”
