The Ancient Temples which are situated at Sacred Sites around the world are by no means dead but are only asleep. The secret to understanding their energies is that the Ancients regarded the Temples as actual living entities All the Temples are infused with many different energies, and with consciousness. When we consider that many of the Temples existed for thousands of years, and that daily the Priests and Priestesses, the Masters and Initiates, would go through their sacred precincts and would chant, pray and meditate. Because of this constant infusion process, these places fairly hum with instilled consciousness.

Another important concept many people are aware of as they move through the Temples of the world is the feeling of having been here before, even though it may be their first visit on the present-life physical level. Being here is like being a part of a refresher course, when they learned from this place in another time long ago.

There usually comes a point somewhere within the Temple when visitors come face-to-face with their own ancient consciousness that they left infused in these holy places long ago, and there is a reason why they have come back to fuse with that consciousness again. They are able to use that energy and wisdom that is stored within the thought forms, in their spiritual work now in their present lifetimes.

The key is to be constantly aware and directly tap into the deep-seated feeling you have been here before, and that there is a reason why the forces and energies around you are bringing you back to this spot.

You chose to do it this way long ago—now you are simply fulfilling a promise you made to yourself to complete a great circle of destiny.

The Egyptians in particular understood that different combinations of shapes create different energy patterns, and their Temples were built to combine different energies for different purposes.

Much has been rediscovered today about "pyramid power" as studied by pyramid energy researchers. However, the pyramid is only one architectural form. The Egyptians were masters at combining different forms in order to create a wide variety of energy patterns, all of which had particular vibrational effects on the human physical, emotional, mental, soul and spiritual bodies. In their Temples and Sanctuaries the ancient architects sought to enhance or amplify the positive energy effects upon the Initiates who entered within, in an effort to help them achieve higher states of health, harmony and consciousness.

In a very different application, in order to protect their libraries, treasure repositories and tombs, the Egyptians often used energy-form architecture in a negative sense, designing the protected chambers in such away as to set up vibrations that could disrupt the various body levels of any unwanted intruder.

The one very important element which allowed priests and priestesses to periodically enter the protected chambers unharmed was that the energy patterns created were influenced by the movements of the sun, moon and planets, in a similar way that the ocean's tides rise and fall with the moon.

In the Temples, the days when the positive energies were enhanced were marked as special days of Initiation and celebration. In the protected chambers it was the days when the heavenly cycles caused the negative energies to drop below the danger levels that entrance within could be safely made. But these times were known only to the attending Priesthood, kept secret for the safekeeping of the chambers.

Another factor the Egyptians also recognized in utilizing energy-form architecture is that, because each individual has a slightly different life force energy field—one with its own astrological signature, based on where and when the sun, moon and planets happen to have been in the heavens at the moment of birth—the vibrational effects of energy-forms have different potencies at different times for different individuals.

Depending on the architectural design, the patterns can be powerful enough to cause positive or negative changes for most people coming in contact with them, or they can be very selective, affecting only certain individuals and not others.

This is the reason why—though a significant percentage of the workers who became involved with the excavation, study, cataloging and removing of the treasures from Tutankhamen's tomb did indeed die under tragic and enigmatic circumstances—a good number nevertheless remained unharmed, to live long and healthy lives. Howard Carter, who perhaps more than any other person spent the most time in the tomb and with its treasures, and who played a prominent role in the unwrapping of the royal mummy, never once succumbed to the "curse of the Pharaoh," dying of old age in 1939.

Carter's benefactor, however, Lord Carnavon, did succumb. If he and others had waited for the right astrological moment, based on their own birth horoscope charts, they might have safely entered and remained unscathed. Carter, who was guided as much by intuition as his knowledge, managed to avoid the danger periods for himself. Tragically, Carnavon, the more pragmatic of the two, fell victim to the ancient protective mechanisms.

What the ancient Egyptians practiced were two ancient sciences that really need to be resurrected and applied in our world today. These I like to call Terramonics and Archarmonics.

Terramonics involves placing a structure into the Sacred Landscape so as to tap directly into the prevailing earth energy vortex nodes and configurations in order to enhance its inherent purpose.

For example, if your intent is to establish a building to help in promoting physical healing and well-being, then the first order of business is to locate it precisely where earth currents and other telluric forces come together to create the most potent healing pattern. The ancient Egyptians knew how to utilize such dowsing tools as the Wsr and Ankh scepters for both detecting and tapping into these and other kinds of energies.

Archarmonics takes this a step further by looking at the intended structure itself, asking how to design the building so that someone simply walking into it will receive a healing. What is involved is the use of sacred number measurements, color, symbol, sound, sacred geometry, art and light, as well as crystals and stones, plants and animals, astronomical alignments, and other elements, incorporated directly into the structure that collectively trigger the healing process.

In the ancient Temples of old, the very geometric shaping of the structures and their various rooms, plus their harmonic measurements, hieroglyph symbols, image coloring, lighting and stellar alignments altogether generated specific energy patterns that could be of a beneficial healing nature.

By situating the building just right in the Earth, combined with the amplification of energies within its own design, you marry the two sciences of Terramonics and Archarmonics to create the perfect healing center.

One of the Temples I feel a strong attachment to is Saqqara. It is within sight of the pyramids of Giza, situated just to the south of them.

Saqqara is a Temple complex which was designed by Imhotep, who was the prime-minister and grand-visier under Pharaoh Zoser in the Third Dynasty, about 2600 B.C.E. Among his many titles Imhotep was both chief physician and grand architect, and he fused these two sciences together at Saqqara. The whole place is a Temple of Healing.

The main courtyard is surrounded by a huge limestone wall that has niches at regular intervals with a measurable energy wave pattern going across them.

The inner courtyard was designed so that it vibrated at the harmonic of a healthy human body. A person who had a disease, by simply walking into the courtyard was already receiving a healing.

When their auric field was out of balance, an individual standing in the courtyard would be immersed in a sea of energy which helped rebalance their aura into a healthier configuration, beginning the healing process on all levels.

The Egyptians regarded the Nile as a great spinal column. The Temples were placed along the Nile to correspond with the chakras or energy centers in the human body. Saqqara symbolized the fifth chakra, which in humans is located in the throat. This was the Temple dedicated to the god Ptah, who was regarded as the Tongue of Ra. Here is where the Initiates learned about the Sounds of Power—the ability to project sound for healing. The Greeks noted that the attending Priests and Priestesses of Saqqara were chosen specifically for their knowledge of absolute pitch.

There is a particular courtyard at Saqqara called the Heb Sed Court, or the Court of the Sed Festival. This is where the Pharaoh or other Initiates would stand atop a platform at a certain spot at a certain time of the year and would be rejuvenated through projected sound. Today this area is undergoing reconstruction and renovation, and it may yet reveal the ancient secrets of how the Egyptians employed sound as a healing medium.

In October, 1983 I did a trip to Egypt with several dowsers, and together we performed a number of experiments in the Heb Sed Courtyard.

On either side of the courtyard was once a series of small buildings, a few now restored, and in each of them is a small chamber you can walk into that is like a small closet space, with a niche in the wall opposite the entrance. By putting your head into any one of the niches you can actually hear the temple humming.

We checked it out—the sound was not from nearby motors or buses or cars, nor from airplanes, and it was not from the wind.

What is more, this sound's audibility is sometimes faint, other times loud. By returning to Saqqara many times over the years and carefully listening, I am convinced that the volume of sound depends on the cycles of the moon.

Working with the dowsers, we found that there are actually several layers of sound heard in the courtyard chambers. We discovered one layer to be a pulsing that we could tape record, and realized that what we were listening to was the heartbeat of whoever was standing on the rejuvenation platform situated at one end of the courtyard. We did tests with people running in place on the platform, people meditating, and so on. Sure enough, the pulse rate inside the chamber changed accordingly, matching the slower or faster pulse rate of the person on the platform.

What we determined was that the chambers on either side of the courtyard served like a giant stethoscope or diagnostic tool. The Temple Masters could diagnose a condition by listening to the sounds of the body which were amplified and echoed through the chambers.

Once this was accomplished, the presiding Priests and Priestesses would then enter the chambers and together project particular combinations of sounds out into the courtyard. The sounds mixed together to create a harmonic wave front. Then the wave front was moved forward toward whoever was on the platform, with the result that the person was rejuvenated.

This is just one amazing aspect of one Temple along the Nile.

As the Initiates went northward down the river through the Temples and experienced the energy patterns within the Sanctuaries, learned about the characteristics of the gods and goddesses and how they were inter-related, they learned that everything outside was a reflection of the inner process of Initiation.

The ancient Egyptians also recognized that they could use different energies through the use of a variety of scepters and staffs. Some of these are familiar to us today because we use the same ones in dowsing.

You often see gods and goddesses holding a long staff called the Wsr out in front of them, holding it just above the ground. At the top is a stylized head of the god Anubis, or Anpu as his name is in the hieroglyphs.

Anubis is the jackal-headed god. He has a benevolent and malevolent side to him, as he was the protector of secret places. Some aspects of him are associated with the sphinx. He was a powerful deity because he is the one who conducts the soul into the afterworld beyond death, and who controls the energy exchange which takes place between this dimension and others.

What the Egyptians did with the Wsr staff was to use it to first dowse where an earth energy center is located. A model I had made always turns slowly in my hand when I am over a power center.

Once the center was found, then the Initiates literally "plugged" into the ground with the fork-like prong at the lower end of the staff, allowing the energy of the earth to flow upward through it and through themselves.

In the other hand the Egyptians held a second scepter called an Ankh, sometimes also called the key of life, and with it they drew in the life force energy of the planet. A model of an Ankh I also had made will turn in my hand like a pendulum when I am standing over an upwelling of life force energy from the ground.

There is a wall engraving in the Temple of Abydos which shows the god Anubis as Wawapet, the Opener of Ways, holding his Wsr staff, with Pharaoh Seti standing directly in front of him. A stream of small ankhs comes out of the head of the staff, hitting the Pharaoh in the forehead, right at the third eye, opening it.

The Ankh scepter is not always held by the loop which draws energy to it, but is also shown held by the stem by which energy is projected out. In the Temple of Philae there is a picture of the goddess Isis holding an Ankh by the loop in her hand at the base of the spine of Osiris, who is standing with his back to her. She is holding in her other hand a second Ankh, this one by the stem, at the top of the god’s head. What she is doing is energizing Osiris’ kundalini energy throughout his entire chakra system—and one can detect the actual movement of energy from one Ankh to the other along the god's spinal cord by dowsing the wall engraving itself.

The Egyptians were very much aware of how to use the earth energies and life force energies, and how to receive and project these energies for different purposes.

We have yet to find one of the original ancient staffs or scepters of power, and for a very good reason. Only the highest Initiates could handle them. For anyone else they would have completely burnt out their nervous system. These lost scepters and staffs are very likely hidden throughout Egypt in the most secret of places, its Halls of Records, yet to be discovered.

Up until 1981 there was a wonderful woman living at Abydos who the modern Egyptians called Om Seti. Her English name was Dorothy Eady. She had spent many decades in Egypt doing excavation work first around the Giza pyramids, and then at Abydos itself. When she first arrived in the town the local Temple was still in jumbled ruins, but when she got off the train she said she knew she'd been there in another life. She had many vivid memories of having been a dancer in the Temple. Om Seti was even able to accurately tell the archaeologists how high the roof had been, before they found evidence that proved her right.

When I visited with her two months before she died, Om Seti told me the story of a dramatic discovery she had made at the Temple at a time when archaeologists were still in the process of restoring it.

On the day in question, she was suffering from a cold and had taken some strong medicine. It had made her feel worse, but she decided that she was going to work anyway, and went up to the Temple site.

As she walked along the top of a wall, she suddenly got very dizzy and lost her balance. As Om Seti fell she put her hand out and struck the side of the wall. A stone block in the wall gave way and something opened up. She fell down farther, and the stone block closed back around her.

She could barely see, but the first thing to catch her eye within a ribbon of daylight coming through a crack nearby was the image of the god Horus the falcon-headed deity bending over her.

With typical British wit she said the first thought that crossed her mind was, what exactly do you say to an Egyptian god?

As her eyes became accustomed to the dim light, however, Om Seti realized that she was looking at a large wooden statue of Horus which was bent over because termites had eaten away the belly. She looked around and identified the place she had fallen into was the treasury or offering chamber of the Temple.

She could see vases, chests, statues and all kinds of objects piled everywhere. The treasury was always a secret place in the Temple with only a few Priests and Priestesses knowing where it was, for safekeeping.

Om Seti was going to pick up something that had a golden glitter to it, a dish or similar item, to later show where she had been. But she thought better of it, realizing that if the Egyptian workmen from the village found the location, that would be the end of it.

Her main concern was how to get out, so she started walking, eventually finding a passageway in the direction of more light filtering in from somewhere outside. As far as she could tell something must have opened for a second time, because she soon found herself in a familiar location on the exterior of the Temple.

Om Seti sat down, exhausted, and reviewed what had happened to her. Had it been real? Or was it an hallucination brought about by her cold and the medicine she had taken?

Just at that moment a local workman walked by, saw her, his eyes widened and he did a double take. Following his gaze she looked down at herself—and discovered she was covered head-to-foot in cobwebs. Om Seti knew then that she had been somewhere very real.

She went back to the wall where she had fallen and kicked it, hit it and cursed at it, but she could never open it up again. As far as we know the hidden chamber is still there, its treasure contents intact. Today, many of the Temples where tourists stroll and gaze at the remains, still contain untold numbers of secrets awaiting their finding.

One of the most important keys to understanding the mysteries of the Ancients is an awareness that all the great structures built along the Earth energy grid system are alive. They are alive in the sense that they contain vibrational energy, conscious energy, and the energy of guardian intelligence.

The Ancients well understood, first of all, that certain materials give off specific energies. Materials often employed, which act either as energy accumulators or energy dampeners, were granite, limestone, basalt, schist, semi-precious and crystalline gemstones, and precious and semi-precious metals such as gold, silver and copper. Different combinations of these gave different results, depending on their ultimate use, whether to aid in meditation, Initiation ceremonies, healing, harmonizing terrestrial/ atmospheric forces, or to promote fertility in surrounding agricultural areas. The Ancient architects were masters at utilizing these materials to balance and control the powers of the Earth, the body, the mind, life and cosmos.

Just as important as material energies are the energies of shape and form. As one example, the most important shape in ancient Egypt, about which much as been written concerning its energy properties, is the pyramid. Experts in the field of pyramid power have spent lifetimes studying and confirming that the pyramid form is indeed an accumulator of cosmic forces, and concentrates these forces at specific locations within its structure where they can influence both inanimate and living things, triggering unusual phenomena.

According to some researchers, inside a pyramid form light can be re-focused into its sub-atomic electromagnetic fields. The word “pyramid” in the hieroglyphs can be translated as “light in the middle.” The form is a lens that spirals light at a faster speed or higher frequency into a vortex or standing columnar wave on the sub-atomic level and is called tachion energy.

The human body has two different sets of sensing organs—one set functions through the five senses which uses electrical fields of atomic energy, and it is through these organs that we see, hear, smell, taste and feel. The other set of sensing organs, which involves the development of the Third Eye as well as other psychic and intuitive forms of perception, functions on the sub-atomic energy level. There is good evidence to suggest that inside a pyramid structure one can learn to see with the Third Eye, and by such means advance to the higher planes of consciousness.

The Ancients also recognized that every shape, not just pyramids, creates its own unique and functional vibrational pattern. A column, for example produces spirals of energy up and down its exterior, and the shape of its capital mounting can significantly alter the characteristics of its frequency pattern. A forest of columns in a temple, called a hypostyle, served as the battery of the temple, where energy was accumulated from both the Earth and the atmosphere, and stored for use at specific times of the year when cosmic forces were harmonized.

Similarly, standing stones served as antennae for receiving and transmitting energy broadcast from other circular or pyramidal structures, completing a magnetic circuit that was used for controlling terrestrial energy patterns, earthquake fracture zones, and flooding rivers. Over the surface of the planet monoliths, towers, obelisks, pagodas, totem poles and free-standing columns were also employed for directing and deflecting earth energies along ley systems and balancing the weather.

Other energy forms the Ancients often utilized, whether separately or in energy-enhancing combinations, were the sphere, arch, cone, triangle, half-cylinder, rectangle and rhomboid. The most complex energy form of all is the human body which, in statue form, the Ancients excelled at perfectly proportioning and attuning.

The Ancient architects were well aware, too, that enclosed spaces create vibrational patterns. Just as the wooden box-frame of a violin is designed to amplify and add to the sound of its vibrating strings, so the chambers, rooms, wall courtyards and sanctuaries of the Ancient temples were built to both create and enhance a wide range of vibrational frequencies.

Often, the design of a Temple or structure depended upon its location, aiding in accentuating the earth energies of the ley system or subterranean power center over which it was constructed. In healing temples, the architecture of the enclosed spaces vibrated to the auric field of a well-balanced human body and its organs. An ill person entering into the precincts of such a temple immediately was surrounded by an energy field that helped re-align his or her own field back into its proper healthy configuration, after a time manifesting itself as a physical recovery. In temples utilized for meditation and Initiation, chambers and isolation cells produced wavelengths attuned to the mind in the alpha and theta states, aiding in the entering of higher levels of consciousness, and the triggering of deep dreaming and out-of-body experiences.

To the Ancients, energy form architecture was a most exact science. Simply by adding a niche here, an open doorway there, a recess in the wall, a column, an altar stone, a border, or a ceiling block or lintel, they knew how to change the frequency pattern or energy flow patterns within any space, to produce or amplify a wide range of desired effects or phenomena.

Because the energies of the human mind were a part of the spectrum of energies the Ancients dealt with, most of their temples were constructed to accumulate an infusion of emotional power or consciousness into the temple structure. A good analogy where this has taken place in more recent times can be seen in what are termed haunted houses. It is interesting that a majority of haunted houses are identifiable by their older, Victorian or turn-of-the-century architecture. If one looks closely, one can see that this architecture is characterized by a combination of well-defined shapes—cones or pyramids capping cylinder towers, tall pointed roofs, porches with columns, large windows, and oblong rooms with high ceilings.

Unknowingly, the Victorian builders created energy forms which generate a variety of frequency patterns that can in turn trap emotional energy. What people have experienced as “hauntings” are not always necessarily ghosts but are in fact visual manifestations of an emotional charge once created by a previous occupant that still remains and is triggered periodically by changing cosmic influences acting upon the energy forms built into the house, and by present-day occupants who suffer similar emotional upset and serve to resonate the older emotional pattern back into brief existence.

To the Victorians such architecture and its resulting manifestations were unintentional. The Ancients, on the other hand, purposely designed their temples to accommodate and utilize such powers of consciousness. Over hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of years the priests and Initiates daily poured forth their emotional and empathetic energies into their temples in the form of chants, prayers and meditations, and thereby left a lingering portion of their consciousness and identity within the vibrating patterns of the place long after they had departed. Through such harmonic repetition over such long periods, the temples fairly hummed with positive consciousness and emotional energies.

Many Earth Healers today, visiting the ancient Temples, who are aware they had spent past lives within them, very often come face to face with their own consciousness which they left in these places long ago, and experience a deep emotional release in rejoining with it. They have come full circle—they have returned to re-awaken past knowledge to be used in this life, and have found completion.

Every culture that is intimately aware of the subtle forces of nature recognizes the existence of nature spirits who inhabit, rule over, energize or help in shaping various aspects of the Earth’s environment. The Ancients were most keenly aware and cognizant of such entities and offered homage to and actively worked with many of these. The most important nature spirits possess their own specific energy pattern and the Ancient architects, in constructing temples dedicated to these “gods,” created the appropriate harmonic vibrational frequency within the designs so that the Temples became the dwelling places where the nature spirits could reside in certain seasons and be communicated with in order to insure that humankind and the spirit realms cooperated with each other in keeping the environment in perfect balance.

Other spirit entities known to the Ancients were those who had once been incarnated on the physical plane as great rulers and teachers in the distant past. They too possessed their own energies, and they too had Temples constructed with architecture and energy forms peculiar to each. These “gods” were the chief guardian intelligences for their sanctuaries.

There were also other forms of guardian entities. Oftentimes a former priest or priestess, who was concerned about their temple and its existence, upon death chose not to return in the physical body again, but instead freely chose to have their spiritual consciousness anchored to the Temple site to offer it protection and to aid in preserving and communicating the knowledge of educating the living priests and Initiates from the spiritual plane.

Even though many Temples around the world are today partially in ruins or neglected physically, still there exists etheric Temples in and around the physical form which simply serve as anchors, and inhabiting the etheric Temples are the spirit-guardian priests and priestesses, waiting and watching, knowing that as interest in the ancient Mysteries grow, soon their Temples will be filled with more and more individuals aware of their existence, who will desire to learn from them the old and forgotten wisdom of Initiation. When that takes place, their purpose will have been accomplished and they will then be released from their age-old responsibility.

The ancient Temples were thus very much alive. They are living structures on many levels, whether one looks at them in terms of vibrational forms, instilled consciousness, or spirit habitations. If the Temples are living, then we may well ask, how can we communicate with them? How can we partake of the secret knowledge preserved within their walls? The following are Three Preparations that are important in opening individual and group minds to the Voices within the temples:

Preparation One: As you stand at the entranceway into the Temple of sacred site, enter into a meditative state and say to yourself, “I am filled, surrounded and protected in Divine Light, Love and Spirit.” You can use your own words or formula, but the central idea is to be energized and protected by a Higher Force other than yourself. The Ancient called upon such a Higher Force, and if you come forth to honestly seek answers, then you must be of the same vibration.

Sometimes the vibrational patterns of consciousness or spiritual entities you will come in contact with in the temples will not be of a positive or uplifting nature, and thus a powerful form of protection must be a part of you, available if and when needed.

Preparation Two: Say to yourself, “I freely give as a gift a portion of my Divine Light, Love and Spirit to this Temple.” Too often seekers wishing to receive knowledge instead find nothing, because they have given nothing first. The ancient Temple is like an electric circuitry. You must infuse energy into the system in order for the system to operate.

You are the energy source. By transferring and projecting a portion of the Higher energies you have received into the sanctuary, you are also plugging into and completing the circuit. The energy will flow around, bringing new life to the sacred place, and eventually will be given back to you in a new form. This leads to—

Preparation Three: Say to yourself, and repeat to yourself as you enter the Temple, “I come with the desire to learn.” The mental command accomplishes two things. First, you are consciously opening up your intuitive mind to the influences coming in from higher vibrational and dimensional-spiritual realms present within the Temple, in its physical and etheric forms. Second, you are informing the Temple and its entities of the purpose for which you have come, and that you are prepared to receive their instructions. You are thus completing the Great Triangle that interconnects the three basic concepts of Wisdom—Receiving, Giving, Knowing.

Once entering the Temple itself, there are many different ways of attuning oneself in order to discover its hidden lore. First, it is important to be in a receptive, meditative state. This may be difficult at times, as some sacred places are now tourist attractions with many sightseers, guides and vendors about. Center yourself and shut out the clutter, open your mind only to subtler, etheric influences from the temple chambers, walls, stones and statues.

Your first impressions, always remember, are very important. Be conscious of the fact that everything the Ancients built was created to be multi-leveled in its purpose. The Temple walls and columns, for example, may possess engravings or hieroglyphic writing or pictographs. These were designed, on one level, to be seen and read as they appear on the surface. Yet on another more esoteric level they contain hidden meanings and possess their own energies. The Ancients knew not only of the forces generated by solid three-dimensional forms, but also of the powers manifested in two-dimensional pictures and symbols. Their writing and art not only represented ideas and sounds, but are mental infusions, images which when concentrated on in an altered state, impart knowledge directly to the mind intuitively, without going through the areas of logic in the left portion of the brain.

The higher the developed altered state of consciousness in an individual, the fuller the symbol or picture infuses its total message. Thus an inscription or artistic representation can mean one thing to one person, yet mean something very different to you. And what your first impression is, what you receive in an instantaneous flash of insight, is that meaning which you are probably meant to have and learn from at this state in your spiritual development.

Many impressions you receive within the ancient Temples may be in the form of feelings, sensations or emotional states. At times such feelings may be negative or depressive. If this occurs, bring to mind the fact that you are protected by Divine Light, Love and Spirit, and ask for that protection to be strengthened. Usually the feelings will then quickly dissipate. If the feelings persist, then separate and detach yourself from them, and ask that you may simply act as a channel for funneling and projecting the negative energies or emotions out of the site, and tell yourself that you will not be affected by them.

It is unfortunate that during the course of the long history of any Temple, there have been those individuals who have either not understood the Temple’s true purpose and have unknowingly entered and infused it with negative emotions, or there have been those who have intentionally misused the Temple energies, bringing disharmony to the internal frequency pattern. To correct these problems, to bring balance back to the system, the Temple entities may at times choose high-energy Earth Healers to aid in filtering out negativities from its precincts by their very presences.

Your eyes are the receptors for the soul within, and you learn much by what you see, and how you see. In gazing at temple engravings, inscriptions, statues and architectural forms, one should look at these objects from different perspectives. The sunlight and shadow lines, as they reflect off symbols and pictures at various times of the day at different angles, can carry different messages with each angle. The colors of stonework, or the pigments of painted wall pictures, are likewise carriers of information, altered by the intensity of the solar rays shining upon them.

Sometimes it is best to observe symbols and engravings not with eyes wide open, but with squinting eyes, for your eyelashes can act as light filters, which narrow the spectrum of incoming information to a more specific wavelength, and reveal a new perspective not otherwise seen with full vision. Wherever you gaze, your eyes are the vehicle for constantly picking up psychic impressions and transmitting them to your mind.

Second only to your eyes is your sense of touch. The nerves at the end of your fingertips and in the palms of your hand are also very sensitive to reading intuitive information, which is the basis of psychommetry. Many of the Ancient symbols were carved in stone in deep relief, or raised above the surface, and were thus meant not only to be seen but to be experienced through touch. Wherever possible, where it is allowed, run your fingers slowly across the inscriptions so that their energies can be felt and understood in much the same way as a blind person can read and understand braille.

In some cases not just the hands but the entire body can become a receptor for the learning process. Embrace standing stones, columns and statues, lay down on floors, place your back up against walls and stones, sit within niches and doorways, or quietly stand still upon platforms and stairways. The psychic language of a Temple is one imparted by reaching out to make contact.

While on the one hand it is important to tune out the noise and clutter of distractions which may exist around you, it is also essential to be sensitive to certain special events which can take place within the Temple. The ancient priests and priestesses often revealed their wisdom through pantomime and role-playing, and the emotions and actions they portrayed in these ceremonies are still preserved in energy form within the Sanctuary precincts.

There may be instances when statues or wall engravings may seem to you to come alive for a few brief seconds, or people around you may say or do something that seems totally out of character, or perhaps a dog or bird or cat or other animal may suddenly appear and disappear in front of you. These are all likely manifestations of the ancient energies in the Temple re-creating roles and events that are meant to instruct.

It is best to always remember not only does every aspect of the Temple structure itself have purpose, but everything of an unusual nature that happens inside the space of the Temple also has its meaning and lesson behind it.

Not everyone, of course, is going to feel or experience these things within the Temples, and one should not enter them with the preconceived expectation of doing so, for then you will probably leave very disappointed. Be as open and receptive as possible, at all times, constantly giving your energies freely to the temple and asking as simply and honestly as you can for an understanding of the knowledge and wisdom within. If nothing comes to you consciously, it means that the messages you received were imparted on a higher level, and did not immediately channel down to your everyday mind.

In days, weeks, months and even years to come following your Temple visit, you will find the images of what you saw, and the emotions of what you felt, coming back to you in flashes, whether in dreams, visions or meditations, and you will begin to sense an understanding and purpose to it all. The recall of images and emotions may trigger past life scenes in which you will remember having lived and worked in the temples ages ago. The lessons you studied in those ancient times will come back to you one by one, and what you will ultimately realize is that your trip to the ancient Temples in this lifetime was simply a way to review what you learned in the Initiation process, so that you may proceed further and meet new challenges to overcome in your ever-continuing spiritual development—yesterday, today and forever.

In just the sensing and feeling there exists yet other levels to the many wonders in the ancient sacred Temples, is to realize there is a whole other dimension of interpretation to what physically exists within these holy precincts that is missing. As an analogy, I would like to share the following story and add this perspective:

A few years back I visited Disney’s Epcot Center in Florida. During the ride through one of the huge pavilions devoted to modern science and technology, the power suddenly went off. Though the blackout lasted only about three minutes, it transformed everything.

Before, the exhibits had been lit up in bright neon signs flashing technical knowledge, automaton figures moved, animated cartoons filled screens, machines whirred and computerized voices spoke. Then, abruptly, with the power failure came an unexpected silence, darkness and emptiness that fell over everything. It was as if for a brief period Time stood still and all the wonders around me had died.

But after three minutes had gone by the electricity finally turned back on, the exhibits came “alive” again, and my ride continued without any further interruptions.

Thinking about this incident later made me wonder what would happen if our present civilization ever came to an end. With all technology lost, the surviving generations to come could conceivably forget what electricity is or how to use it. In a thousand years from now, when archaeologists of a future culture rediscover the “ancient” pavilions of Epcot Center, how might they interpret the remains?

To them the darkened halls, the motionless exhibits, the silent figures and machines might not be very understandable. Without knowing about the one vital element of energy needed to make everything work, what strange theories will these future archaeologists dream up?

Perhaps they might believe Epcot was once a religious sanctuary complex full of strange images of “gods.” Or maybe it was the magnificent “tomb” of an unknown ruler, with the hallways and exhibits representing a mystical journey into the “underworld.” Whatever the theories would be, the real answer will remain elusive until someone found out how to turn the power back on.

I realized after pondering about all this how we today are in much the same position when it comes to interpreting past civilizations. When in recent years on my tours I have explored empty tombs and sanctuaries around the world—gazing at mysterious wall engravings and statues, climbing through mazes of chambers and passageways, puzzled at secret messages left in forgotten inscriptions—I get the intuitive feeling that a certain vibrant element has disappeared, nowhere to be found.

Are these really just only temples and tombs, or is there an important key piece left out of this vast ancient enigma we have so far overlooked? Was there an unknown power source—what the Ancients themselves identified as the “life energy”—once understood by them but forgotten to us, which somehow “animated” everything, which imparted to the engravings, statues and glyphs their true meaning?

The time has come to seek out this missing empowering element, and look for the “ON” button. If one day we find it and push it, then the lost world of the Ancients may truly come to life once again.

Ages ago the Ancients built stone and earthen pyramids around the planet and utilized them for various purposes.

Some were placed on the Earth's surface in a band between 30 degrees latitudes North and South around the Equator where the globe spins fastest. These pyramids served the primary function as energy balancing mechanisms for polar stability and reducing axis wobbling. It is no coincidence that any structure situated along either parallel would have been so located that the distance from it to the Equator was also half the distance between it and the center of the Earth.

In not a few cases pyramids have north-facing entrance shafts and these were utilized as an energy projecting mechanism periodically "fired" toward the North Pole to aid in stabilizing the planetary spin.

Pyramids also helped to harmonize the energies in major inter-dimensional shift regions also located along the two 30 degree latitudes, namely such areas as the Bermuda Triangle near the Caribbean and the Devil's Sea off Japan.

The neglect and deterioration of pyramid structures world-wide over the past several millennia has led to a destabilization in many of the Doorway regions which in turn is the cause of the infamous disappearances of people, ships and planes, because the Doorways are opening and closing without pyramid controls.

In many cases the pyramids' slope angles inversely complemented the latitudinal degree of their location on the Earth's surface. For example, the Great Pyramid located at 30 degrees latitude is sloped at 52 degrees, while Silbury Hill in England—the largest earthen structure in Europe—is situated at 52 degrees and is sloped at 30 degrees angle.

The purpose for such an architectural infusion of angles was to help key in the structure to a particular Earth-centered location and thereby aid in making slow and tranquil adjustments in plate tectonic movements without the sudden intervention of seismic or volcanic release.

We can also take note of the similarity in pyramid sizes, such as the almost identical bases of the Great Pyramid in Egypt and the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan in Mexico. While the Sun Pyramid has a much more oblate slope angle, its summit is located about the same position as the King's Chamber level inside the Great Pyramid.

In a similar manner Monks Mound of Cahokia in Illinois also has a base that almost matches that of the Great Pyramid, yet its summit corresponds with where the Queen's Chamber would be in the Great Pyramid.

Many of the pyramids of Shensi in China likewise show similar characteristics to the Great Pyramid at Giza. This conformity to size in the major pyramidal structures was a reflection of the pyramids being tied into the overall frequency pattern of the Earth, called the Schumann Resonance.

Not only in their sizes but also in terms of their longitudinal placements, the world pyramid structures were deliberately set at harmonic distances from one another so as to be able to tap into the Schumann Resonance of the planet. Like crystals in old-time radio sets, world pyramids were utilized as transmitters and receivers for picking up messages broadcast via the Schumann Resonance sent along it like a carrier wave that encircles the Earth in major pulses.

What is indicated here is a technology our present civilization has not yet achieved. Here was an ancient "Internet" on a scale that far outshone anything our modern computer networks could create today.
