WHEN THE GODS WALKED THE EARTH

Understanding Ancient Eqypt and the Precessional Galactic Alignment Eras.


Hundreds of academics will argue to their last breath that Greece is the source of all traditions that Grecian giants like Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato borrowed from after being initiated into the ancient Egyptian mystery schools. In his Timaeus, Pluto preserves a legend derived from Egyptian sources of Atlantis, somehow mixed up with Egyptian prehistory, dating back nine thousand years from the time of his writing. This places the existence of an advanced civilization that was thriving around the previous solstice-galaxy alignment,10,500 B.C. Just imagine we are now at another solstice-galaxy alignment marking the end of a great cycle of 26,000 years, in December, 2012. Don’t you think you ought to give
this time 2012 and beyond more serious attention than is required of a student of human history or evolution?


The Greek neoplatonist Proclus, who studied at Alexandria in the fifth century A.D., reported it was the Egyptians and not the Greeks who discovered Precession. “Let those, who believe… the stars to move around the poles of the zodiac (precession), as Ptolemy and Hipparchus before him, know that the Egyptians had already taught Plato about the movement of the fixed stars. Modern scholars through selective citation have dismissed Egypt’s genius as anomalous, apocryphal and downright fictional. More recently, however, a fascination and respect for ancient Egypt’s accomplishments has grown in the public mind. For example, the question arises and modern day scientists haven’t found a satisfactory clue as to -– Who built the Pyramids? After all is said and done, the scientist-researchers are inclined to declare -- non-visible beings from the upper worlds must have built them for the sake of keeping the planet Earth in a balance. Why in Egypt? REad on to find out.


AS ABOVE, SO BELOW

Popular media, to the dismay of some people who want to know more (about the Above more than the Below) places its emphasis only on treasure hunting, human sacrifice, and mummification rituals, ignoring the multidimensional, metaphysical knowledge of ancient Egypt. As usual, one is inclined to attribute this kind of misperception of reality to Duality as many of us are inclined to be happily placed within the limits of third dimensional thinking. It's probably safer that way. Just the same, the metaphysical side of higher thought has its own champions. R.A.Schwaller de Lubicz found evidence for Precession of the Equinox in his work at Luxor and Karnak where the great pyramids are located. Like them, Jane B. Sellers in her book The Death of the Gods of Ancient Egypt, and Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert’s The Orion Mystery provided new insights into this question. This aspect of Egyptian cosmology is critical to the understanding of how the Galactic Center and galactic alignments were known to the ancient Egyptians. Here we encounter the goddess Isis, and get new insights into the symbolic identity of Isis which supports this view. The goddess Isis holds the key represented by the Venusian anhk but it has a mythology that is reserved for another article. Vincent Bridges’ new interpretation of the early site of Abydos also provides an important key.


It defintiely looks like that ancient Greek sacred topography was based on earlier Egyptian ideas, and that a metaphysical KNOWLEDGE OF THE ALIGNMENTS WITHIN THE PRECESSIONAL CYCLE FILTERED DOWN TO GREECE but became obscured as a more materialistic consciousness arose, leading to the birth of rationalism among the Greek philosophers. The "as above, so below" principle is alive and well in the findings of Jean Richer. This is most notably stressed in the geographical pointers formed by temple alignments and the directions faced by certain monuments, such as the Lion of Kea that not only faced the winter-solstice sunrise but also was looking over at Egypt, hundreds of miles away. It faced not only the time (the solstice) but a place, the place where it came from --or where its encoded wisdom came from. Jenkins asks us then to look again at the Sphinx and its riddles about man, for deeper and more ancient mysteries may be lurking there.


Also take note that the old traditions among the Maya and the Egyptian pharaonic tradition were presented in ideogrammatic fashion that is always more difficult to decipher than the mere hieroglyphic writing. De Lubicz, over the decades of research in Egypt was able to penetrate the ancient Egyptian mind frame and reconstruct a metaphysics of human- becoming – a sacred science – unsurpassed even in modern times. Says de Lubicz: Very certainly there is a kinship in the expression of the knowledge of the old traditions among the Maya and the same pharoanic tradition, but presented in ideogrammatic fashion that is always more difficult to decipher than the always mere hieroglyphic writng.


Having a strong astronomical component, the de Lubicz findings is that the cycles of time define a cosmic alchemy pursued by the enigmatic Hru Shemsu school from which the Hermetic teachings of Hermes Trismegistus are believed to derive.


Robert Bauval’s The Orion Mystery The Sphinx represented the constellation Leo. Based on this, Hancock took the next step pointing out that the Sphinx faces directly east and may be paying homage to the time when the Vernal or Spring equinox was situated in Leo – 10,800 B.C.made the simple points that the three great Egyptian pyramids reflected the three belt stars of Orion, and that the so-called air shafts were really sight tubes to Sirius and other stars. These sight-tube alignments were accurate only in specific eras of precession.B.C. In their Message of the Sphinx, Robert Baubal and Graham Hancock describe the heart of the mystery. They integrate the north-south precessional oscillation of Orion with the ecliptic precession to describe what they call the First Time and Last Time – 10,800 B.C. and 2400 A.D. During these times Orion reaches its lowest and highest meridian transit while at the same time the solstice sun sits on the Milky Way – the western edges.

But if a few hundred years are adjusted to reach precise alignment, whether or not precise alignment was intended by the ancient Egyptians, then we reach an adjusted First and Last Time as deduced by John Major Jenkins, corresponding to the solstice-galaxy alignment of circa A.D. 2012 and 12,800 years ago. This is when the skies are “balanced” by the sun’s alignment with the galactic plane, corresponding roughly with the southern and northern extreme meridian transits of Orion. Jenkins feels that the balance of the skies portrays the midpoint of the sun’s journey through the duat (underworld), and the winged disk (at the top) is Horus, symbol of Taurus the bull, a Venusian sign (see Isis key) at noontime.


We should remember that the galactic alignments of 10,800 B.C. and era 2012 (now) are often indicated in the body of evidence by the Age of Leo and the Age of Aquarius. These ages frame the times when the solstice axis aligns with the plane of the Milky Way.


THE SPHINX: The Time and Place of the First Time

That means, one-half of a precession cycle ago, the summer-solstice sun aligned with the part of the Milky Way containing the Galactic Center. But about an earlier alignment of 6,400 years ago? For the Egyptians, this was important, because the Egyptian dynastic history begins around the time. And the equinox-galaxy alignment of era 4400 B.C. may have stimulated a remembering of what the Sphinx already an ancient eroding monument by that time, was meant to represent.



An ancient Egyptian site called Abydos, provides some answers. Like the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid, Abydos was intimately involved in calibrating galactic alignments in precession. Graham Hancock has maintained that the Sphinx, points to the time of the Zep Tepi, Age of Leo. This was the fabled Golden Age of gods walking on Earth, of wisdom manifesting that is available to all, and when the current cycle of manifestation got its start: 10,800 B.C. But Jenkins asks why should we assume that Egypt was the place? Perhaps the Sphinx is pointing at the place intended for this manifestation of wisdom that the gods walking the earth made available to all since that early time.


If we look at that fabled time, look at the latitude of the Sphinx, and trace a line eastward across Saudi Arabia, Iran, and beyond the middle east, passing by sacred mountains of the Himalayas, into the upper plateau of Tibet, ending up precisely at Lhasa, the ancient capital of Tibetan religion and culture! Could Tibet, 10,800 B.C. be the time and place of the Golden Age (see fig. 9.4 of book Galactic Alignment)?


LIGHT COMES FROM THE EAST

Asia is the crucible or center of civilization at that earliest time, and at this time of our modern civilization, according to the visionaries, Asia will again be the crucible of the new Golden Age that is now about to rise in a new great Earth cycle starting 2012. Tibetan culture is believed to be one of the most ancient in the world, and shamanic cultures to the north of Tibet, in Siberia, central Asia, and Tuva, preserve traditions that are at least 10,000 years old. Vedic culture in India to the south, as indicated in the Vedic literature, migrated from northern regions beyond the high mountains of the Himalayas. unavoidable terminus and turnabout of human history that we, of all generations are In India and central Asia, we find a vast repository, a living voice, that can only trace a history going back to 10,000 years. Like Egypt, Vedic civilization has its own doctrine of a long-gone Golden Age, as well as a profound knowledge of the cycles of time based on the precession of the equinox, the descent of consciousness, that we, of all generations, are currently experiencing. The Egyptian Sphinx, without a doubt points us to India. Take note: all scholarly students of Helena Blavatsky's books Isis Unveiled, and the Secret Doctrine, based on teachings of the great Mahatmas of India


JOHN MAJOR JENKINS: Despite the evidence in major European and Middle Eastern traditions surveyed thus far (*in his book, Galactic Alignment) we can still hear the call coming from further back in time, and farther east – India. This is one of the places that can compare to Egypt in the scale and scope of its vision and claim to an ancient lineage going back to the previous solstice-galaxy alignment of 10,000 B.C. In the Vedic conception of the World Ages, as recorded in the Laws of Manu, we find detailed evidence for a knowledge of the Galactic Center and the role played by the eras of galactic alignments, like the one we are currently experiencing at this time. We also find much more than compelling facts that indicate an ancient galactic gnosis, for in India we encounter a primordial tradition and a profound galactic metaphysics of spiritual transformation.

Next posting will be focused on India's Vishnunabbi and the True Anchor of the Vedic Yugas.
