Star Fire: The Gold of the Gods
<<
Back -- Page 3 of 4 -- Next >>
In the Old Testament Book of Exodus, at the time of Moses we
are introduced to a certain Bezaleel (the son of Uri Ben Hur) who is said to
have been filled with the spirit of the Elohim in wisdom, understanding and
knowledge. We learn, furthermore, that Bezaleel was a skilled goldsmith and a
Master Craftsman, and that he was placed in overall charge of building the Ark
of the Covenant. In detailing how Bezaleel should manufacture various
crowns, rings, bowls and a candlestick, all of pure gold, the Bible text adds to
the list something called the Shewbread of the Covenant, and without
further explanation the deed is seen to be done.
Although the word 'covenant' has come to be identified with
contractual agreements, it originally meant 'to eat bread with',
and it is pertinent to note that the Lord's Prayer (which was directly
transposed from an Egyptian equivalent) specifies "Give us this day our
daily bread". This is often taken to relate to sustenance in general
terms, but in the original tradition the reference was more specifically
directed to the enigmatic shewbread - the Golden Bread of Bezaleel.
The Book of Leviticus also refers to the shewbread: And
thou shalt take fine flour and bake twelve cakes thereof... And thou
shalt put pure frankincense upon each row.
The use of the word 'flour' in English translations is
actually incorrect. The word 'powder' would be more accurate.
The records of the mystery schools cite rather more precisely that shewbread
was made with the white powder of gold, and this is particularly significant
because in Exodus it is stated that Moses took the golden calf which the
Israelites had made "and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to a white
powder". In this instance, the correct word 'powder' is used, but
firing gold does not, of course, produce powder - it simply produces molten
gold.
So what was this magical white powder? Is there a way of using
heat to transform metallic gold into a white powder which is ingestible and
beneficial? Indeed there is, and it is here that the foremost alchemical
principle of the Master Craftsmen was applied: "To make gold, you must take
gold."
Gold is the most noble of metals, and gold was always
representative of Truth. Through the regular use of Anunnaki Star Fire (the Gold
of the Gods), the recipients were moved into realms of heightened awareness and
consciousness because of its inherent melatonin and serotonin. This was the
realm of advanced enlightenment - the Plane of Sharon - and the Star Fire gold
was deemed to be the ultimate route to the Light. Hence, the heavy, mundane
person (lead) could be elevated to a heightened state of awareness (perceived as
gold). This was the root of all alchemical lore thereafter.
The shewbread (or, as the Egyptians called it, scheffa
food) was a traditional entitlement of the Israelite and Egyptian Messiahs,
for the early Pharaohs were themselves fully consecrated Priest-Kings of the
Grail Bloodline, having descended through Nimrod in the Cainite succession.
In ancient Egypt, the scheffa food was always depicted
as a conical cake. According to the records, this metallic bread was used
to feed the Light-body, as against the physical body, and the Light-body was
deemed to be the consciousness. As far back as 2200 BC, the Pharaohs were using
this supplement to enhance their pituitary and pineal activity, thereby to
heighten their perception, awareness and intuition, but only the metallurgical
adepts of the mystery schools (the Master Craftsmen of the Dragon Court) knew
the secret of its manufacture.
In the Egyptian Book of the Dead (the oldest complete
book in the world), the Pharaoh in search of the ultimate food of
enlightenment asks, at every stage of his journey, the single overriding
question, "What is it?" - a question which in the Hebrew language (as
explained in The
Antiquities of the Jews) was asked with the single word, "Manna?".
When the Ark of the Covenant was completed, Moses' brother
Aaron was said to have placed an omer of manna into the Ark. This sacred manna
was commonly associated with a mystical form of bread - the shewbread -
or, as it was called in Tubal-Cain's Mesopotamia, the shem-an-na.
At this point, we come to a particularly important definition
of the shem-an-na, for according to the Master Craftsmen this conically
shaped (or shem-shaped) food was made of what the Sumerians called Highward
Fire-stone.
In the New Testament Book of the Revelation it is said: To
him that overcometh, I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a
white stone.
Before we look at the precise nature of the white stone of the
shem-an-na - the bread made from the powder of alchemical gold - let us firstly
consider the famous statue of Priest-King Melchizedek at Chartres Cathedral in
France.
The statue portrays Melchizedek with a cup containing a stone
in representation of the bread and wine which he apparently offered to Abraham,
according to Genesis. The wine, as we know, was emblematic of the sacred Star
Fire (just as Communion wine represents the Messianic Blood today), but the true
importance of the imagery is that the bread-stone is held within the cup,
thereby signifying that Star Fire was replaced by its substitute nourishment at
the very time of Melchizedek and Abraham. This substitute was made from shem-an-na
- the white powder of gold, the highward fire-stone.
The object of the substitute was very straightforward. Instead
of feeding the recipient with a direct hormonal supplement, the powder had its
effect on the endocrinal system (particularly the pineal gland), thereby causing
the recipient to manufacture his own super-high levels of hormones such as
melatonin.
In the famous Middle Ages Grail romance of Parzival, by
Wolfram von Eschenbach, it is said of the Temple Knights of Grail Castle: They
live by virtue of a stone most pure. If you do not know its name, now learn:
it is called lapis exilis. By the power of the stone the phoenix is
burned to ashes, but the ashes speedily restore it to life. The phoenix thus
moults and thereupon gives out a bright light, so that it is as beautiful as
before.
Many have wondered about the name lapis exilis because it
appears to be a play on words, combining two elements. Firstly, it is lapis
ex caelis, meaning 'stone from the heavens', and, secondly, it is lapis
elixir, the Philosophers' Stone by which base elements are transformed to
higher states of being. Either way, or both, it relates directly to the highward
fire-stone - the shem-an-na of the exotic Star Fire substitute.
(Note: also see The
Stone From the Stars -- Webmaster)
The key to the Parzival allegory lies in the description that
the phoenix is "burned to ashes", but from those very ashes comes the
Great Enlightenment. So, what exactly is a phoenix? It is a mythical bird, we
might answer. But we would be quite wrong! The word 'phoenix' is far older
than the Bennu bird mythology, and it is in fact ancient Graeco-Phoenician.
'Phoenix' means 'crimson' or 'red-gold'.
Even today, within the confines of the Ordo Templi Orientis,
the ancient Mass of the Phoenix is performed as a symbolic Star Fire ritual. It
is pertinent to note that Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, was an
officer of this Order - as a consequence of which, much of his novel is a
coded representation of the secret knowledge. The two emblems of this
ninth-degree ceremony are: the upright triangle of Gold and Light (representing
spirit), and the downturned triangle of Blood and Water (representing matter).
Interlocked, one upon the other, they form the familiar Seal of Solomon which
contains the formula that is known as the Gem of Alchemy.
An old Alexandrian alchemical text makes particular mention of
the weight of the Philosophers' Stone - which it calls the Stone of Paradise. It
states that: When placed in the scales, the stone can outweigh its quantity
of gold; but when it is transposed to dust, even a feather will tip the scales
against it.
In terms of a mathematical formula, this relationship is
written as: 0 = (+1) + (-1). This appears to be a very straightforward sum at
first glance, because (+1) + (-1) does indeed equal zero. But when applied to
physical matter it is actually an impossibility because it relies upon using a
'positive' and an equivalent 'negative' to produce 'nothing'. The moment one has
a positive piece of something, it is not possible to add an equivalent negative
of that something to produce nothing. At best, one could move the 'positive'
something out of immediate sight - but it would still exist, and it would
therefore not be nothing.
The only way to turn something into nothing, as far as the
material field is concerned, is to translate that something into another
dimension so that it physically disappears from the mundane environment. If that
process is achieved, then the proof of achievement would lie in the fact that
its weight also disappears.
What, then, is it that can outweigh itself but can also
underweigh itself and become nothing? What, then, is it that can be gold, but
can be fired and transposed to dust? It is the phoenix - the red-gold that will
fire to ashes but will then be restored to enlightenment. It is the golden
calf that Moses burned to a powder. It is the highward fire-stone of the
shem-an-na. And we know from the Sumerian records that this was not made of
stone at all, but of shining metal.
In the alchemical tradition, the Philosophers' Stone is said
to be that which translates base elements into gold. This is deemed to be the
case in both the metallurgical sense and in the spiritual sense of higher
enlightenment. In the physical sense, however, we must return to the oldest of
all alchemical rules of the earliest mystery school: "To make gold, you
must take gold."
Hence, it is determined that there are two distinctly separate
forms of physical gold: the straightforward metal as we know it, and a much
'higher' state of gold - that is, gold in a different dimension of perceived
matter, and this is the white powder of gold, the hidden manna whose secret
manufacture was known only by the Master Craftsmen.
So, what precisely is the 'highward' or 'high-spin' state
which converts gold (and platinum-group metals) into a sweet-tasting, impalpable
white powder?
A normal atom has around it a screening potential - a positive
screening produced by the nucleus. The majority of electrons going round the
nucleus are within this screening potential, except for the very outer
electrons. However, the nucleus goes to the highward or high-spin state when the
positive screening potential expands to bring all of the electrons under the
control of the nucleus.
Electrons normally travel around the nucleus in pairs: a
'spin-forward' electron and a 'spin-reverse' electron. But when these come under
the influence of a high-spin nucleus, all of the spin-forward electrons become
correlated with the spin-reverse electrons. When perfectly correlated, the
electrons turn to pure white light, and it is quite impossible for the
individual atoms in the high-spin substance to link together. Hence they cannot
reform as metal, and the whole remains simply an impalpable white powder.
The truly unusual thing about this white powder is that,
through various applied processes, its weight will rise and fall to hundreds of
per cent above its optimum weight, down to less than absolutely nothing.
Moreover, its optimum weight is actually fifty-six per cent of the metal weight
from which it was transmuted. So, where does the other forty-four per cent go?
It becomes nothing but pure light, and translates to another dimension beyond
the physical world. This conforms precisely with the ancient Alexandrian text -
that the Paradise Stone, when placed in the scales, can outweigh its quantity of
gold; but when transposed to dust, even a feather will tip the scales against
it.
Some of you may recall the NEXUS publication of a lecture
given by David Hudson of ORMES LLC, Arizona, in 1996 [see NEXUS 3/05, 3/06]. In
this talk, David explained how he came upon the white powder production by pure
chance when running laboratory tests on soil and ore samples.
During the course of his extensive research, he discovered
that not only is the powder of the highward fire-stone capable of raising human
consciousness, but it is also a monatomic superconductor with no gravitational
attraction.
As a point of warning here, I should add that this
particular powder of gold has absolutely no connection with the substances
currently marketed under the labels of Etherium Gold, Isis Gold and Manatau
Gold. Whatever their advertising material might
suggest, none of these products contain chemically measurable gold in the
highward state.
One of the great researchers into gravity from the 1960s
period has been the Russian physicist Sakharov, and the mathematics for
Sakharov's theory (based on gravity as a zero-point) were published by Hal
Puthoff of the Institute of Advanced Studies in 1989 [Physical Review A, vol.
39, no. 5, 1 March 1989]. With regard to the monatomic white powder, Puthoff has
made the point that because gravity determines space-time, then the powder is
capable of bending space-time. It is "exotic matter", he
explained, with a gravitational attraction of less than zero!
To put things into perspective, it is important to recognise
that just about everything we now know about the life and civilisations of the
distant BC years has been learned since the late 1800s. Prior to that, the Old
Testament was one of very few documents of record. But the Old Testament was
never intended to be an accurate reporting of history; it was actually a book of
scripture designed to underpin a growing religious movement.
To some extent, just like the scriptures of other religions,
the Hebrew writings were based on mythological tradition, but, since the
inherent stories were never found until recently in any other documented form,
the Old Testament has been treated for countless centuries as if it were an
absolute, factual truth.
And so the mythology became designated as history by our
governing and educational establishments, and it has been taught as such in our
schools and churches for the longest time.
Now we have a vast amount of original literature enabling us
to be far better informed, for a great number of ancient documents have been
unearthed, many pre-dating the original writing of Genesis by up to 2,000 years.
One would expect such discoveries to be welcomed with
enthusiasm. But this has not been the case. Instead, they have posed severe
problems and are regarded not as beneficial revelations but as threats. What do
they threaten? They threaten to undermine the one-time mythology that has been
erroneously dubbed as history. How does the establishment cope with this threat?
It clings on tightly to the contrived history, and declares that the first-hand
documents of history are mythological!
Between the 1850s and the 1930s, records which had been hidden
for countless lifetimes beneath the windswept desert sands suddenly appeared,
bearing the names of such well-known characters as Abraham, Esau, Israel, Heber,
Nahor, Terah and many others from the Bible. These were written during the
lifetimes of these men by people who were associated with them, whereas the
books of the Old Testament were compiled over 1,000 years later. But, one by
one, these documents have been classified as mythology. Why? Because they tell a
very different story to that which we are taught from the Bible.
By the 1880s, the governing establishments of Christendom were
dreading the very word 'archaeologist'. And so, archaeological digs were brought
under strict control, and their funding and undertakings had to be approved by
newly designated authorities.
One of these, the Egypt Exploration Fund, was established in
Britain in 1891, and on the very first page of its Memorandum and Articles of
Association it is stated that the Fund's objective is to promote excavation work
"for the purpose of elucidating or illustrating the Old Testament
narrative".
In short, this meant that if something was found which could
be used to support the scriptural teaching, then we (the public) would be
informed. Anything which did not support the Church interpretation of the Bible
was not destined to see the light in the public domain.
Now we are going to take a look at one of the monumental finds
from that era - a discovery about which very little is known to people at large.
In fact, it is probably the most important biblical discovery ever made and it
has stunning implications far beyond the discovery itself, for this is the
ultimate story of the Phoenix and the Fire-stone.
Within the Book of Exodus, a significant biblical
mountain is named. It sits in the extensive range of the Sinai Peninsula - the
upturned triangular land-mass which lies above the Red Sea between the Gulf of
Suez and the Gulf of Aqabah. In the Old Testament, the mountain is firstly
called 'Mount Horeb', then it is called 'Mount Sinai', and is subsequently
called 'Horeb' again as the story progresses.
The story, of course, is that of Moses and the Israelite
exodus from Egypt. This was the mountain upon which, according to Exodus, Moses
saw the burning bush; the mountain where he talked with Jehovah; and the place
where he received the Ten Commandments and the Tables of Testimony.
Something that we should recognise at this stage is that at
the time of Moses (roughly 1350 BC) there was no mountain called 'Mount Sinai'.
There was no mountain by that name even in the days of Jesus, nor even for
another 300 years.
It should also be said that the Old Testament which is
familiar to us today is a translation from a Hebrew text compiled only 1,000
years ago, and it is therefore a few centuries younger even than the canonical
New Testament.
The mountain now generally known as Mount Sinai sits in the
south of the peninsula, quite near to the bottom point of the upturned triangle.
It was given its name in the 4th century AD by a mission of Greek Christian
monks, 1,700 years after the time of Moses. It is now sometimes called 'Gebel
Musa' (or 'Mount of Moses'), and a small Christian retreat, St Catherine's
Monastery, still exists there. But, was this the Sinai mountain which the Bible
calls 'Mount Horeb'? Well, it transpires that it was not.
The Book of Exodus goes into some detail to explain the
route taken by Moses and the Israelites from the Nile Delta land of Goshen, down
across Sinai, across the wilderness regions of Shur and Paran, to the land of
Midian (which is to the north of present-day Jordan). From this route it becomes
very easy to identify the location of Mount Horeb. It sits a good deal north of
Gebel Musa.
The word horeb simply means 'desert', and the great desert
mountain which soars to over 2,600 feet within a high stone plateau above the
Plain of Paran is today called 'Ser�b�t' - or, to be more precise, Ser�b�t
el-Kh�dim (the Prominence of the Kh�dim).
In the late 1890s, the British Egyptologist Sir William
Flinders Petrie, a Professor at the University College, London, applied to the
Egypt Exploration Fund to take an expedition into Sinai. By January 1904, he and
his team were in Sinai, and in March of that year they took their expedition to
the heights of Mount Ser�b�t.
In the following year, Petrie published the detailed results
of his findings, but added to his report the fact that this information would
not be made available officially to the Egypt Exploration Fund subscribers; they
would receive only maps and a general outline. Furthermore, Petrie explained
that even though he had taken previously funded teams into Egypt, from the
time of that Sinai expedition his sponsorship by the Fund had been terminated.
Why? Had he perhaps broken the binding rule of the Articles by divulging
something which was contrary to Bible teaching? He certainly had.
In fact, Petrie had discovered the great secret of the sacred
mountain of Moses - a secret which not only made sense of the Exodus portrayals,
but which (in so doing) blew the lid totally from their common scriptural
interpretation.
What the Bible does not make clear is that Sinai was not a
foreign land to the Egyptians. It was actually regarded as a part of Egypt and
came under Pharaonic control. So Moses and the Israelites had not left Egypt
once they were east of the Nile Delta; they were still in Egypt, having the
whole Sinai Peninsula to cross before they entered the Palestinian land of
Canaan.
During the time of Moses, Sinai came under the control of two
Egyptian officials: the Royal Chancellor and the Royal Messenger. This was
the era of Egypt's 18th Dynasty - the dynasty of the Tuthmosis and Amenhotep
Pharaohs, along with Akhenaten and Tutankhamun. The Royal Messenger of those
times was Neby, an official who was also the mayor and troop commander of Zaru
in the Nile Delta region of Goshen, where the Israelites had lived before the
exodus.
The position of Royal Chancellor was hereditary in the Hyksos
family of Pa-Nehas, and Panahesy of this family was the official Governor of
Sinai. We know him better from the Bible as Phinehas. He became one of the first
priests of the new Mosaic structure, but previously he had been the Chief Priest
at Pharaoh Akhenaten's temple at Amarna.
Before we get back to Sir William Flinders Petrie, and to
understand the root significance of his discovery, it is worth making a
necessary distinction between the Israelites and the Hebrews of the Mosaic era. At
that time they were not one and the same, as Bible teaching seems to indicate.
The Hebrews were the family and descendants of Abraham, and their place of
residence was, in the main, Canaan (or Palestine). The Israelites, on the other
hand, were the family and descendants of one of Abraham's grandsons, Jacob,
whose name was changed to 'Israel'. It was Jacob's family alone who had moved
into Egypt, and it was their descendants who eventually returned with Moses - to
be reunited, after countless generations, with their fellow Hebrews.
The difference between the strains was, of course, that the
Israelites had long been subjected to the laws and religions of Egypt and they
knew very little about the customs of their cousins in Canaan. Through more than
400 years they had been in an environment with a whole pantheon of gods; and
although they had developed a 'One God' concept within their own fraternity,
that god was not the Jehovah of the Canaanite Hebrews.
The Israelites' god was a faceless entity whom they called,
quite simply, 'the Lord'. In the Israelite language he was called 'Adon'. This
is one of the reasons why the names 'Lord' and 'Jehovah' were always separately
identified in early texts, although they were brought under the wrap of the
single God in later times to suit the emergent Jewish and Christian faiths. To
the Egyptians, the name of this Lord (Adon) was quite similar; they called him
'Aten'. From this derived the name of Pharaoh Akhenaten, meaning 'Servant of
Aten'.
So, when Moses and the Israelites made their exodus into
Sinai, they arrived not as worshippers of Jehovah but of Aten; and it was for
this very reason that they were given a whole new set of laws and ordinances to
bring them into line with the Hebrew culture of their prospective new homeland.
When Moses and the Israelites left the Nile Delta, their
obvious route to Canaan (where they were eventually headed) would have been
directly across the wilderness of northern Sinai. So, why did they push
southward into the difficult high country to spend some time at the Horeb
mountain of Ser�b�t? This was a question that had long puzzled Petrie and
his team.
So, what precisely did they find high on the Bible's holy
mountain? Well, to begin with, they found nothing very much. But on a wide
plateau near the summit there were distinct signs of ancient habitation, and
some pillars and standing-stones could be seen protruding above the
ground-rubble. This rubble had been deposited, little by little, by wind and
landslides over some 3,000 years. But when it was finally moved away, the truth
of the Bible story emerged. Petrie wrote:
There is no other such monument which makes us regret that it
is not in better preservation. The whole of it was buried, and no one had any
knowledge of it until we cleared the site.
What they found was an enormous temple complex. Set within an
enclosure wall was an outer temple, built over an expanse of 230 feet (approx.
70 metres). This extended outwards from an inner temple cut within a great cave
in the mountainside. From the various cartouches, carvings and inscriptions it
emerged that the temple had been in use from as far back as the time of Pharaoh
Sneferu, who reigned about 2600 BC and whose immediate successors are reckoned
to have built the pyramids of Gizeh.
