1 - The Soul-Star Place

Just west of where the Nile begins to widen out into the fan-shaped delta, a rough limestone escarpment rises a few hundred feet and then flattens off into a wind swept plateau. An ancient civilization, perhaps a colony of lost Atlantis, built a complex pattern of structures on the edge of the plateau. Fulcanelli, in Dwellings of the Philosophers, suggests that they were built at the end of the last Ice Age, and Schwaller de Lubicz confirms that it is water erosion that can be seen on the Sphinx and its enclosure, giving us a date of at least 12,000 years ago for their construction. Whatever their age, these monuments have fascinated humanity throughout history.

Consider the tale, first written down in the XVIIth Dynasty from a Middle Kingdom version of a IVth Dynasty original, of Prince Radjedef, the Djedi and King Khufu. The King and his four sons are relaxing at the palace telling stories of famous magicians. Radjedef tops them all by announcing that he knows of a living magician equal to those of the past. Khufu is interested and Radjedef tells him of the Djedi, or stable one, who is apparently ageless and knows many things, including, “the shrines of the secret chambers of the enclosure of Tehuti.” Now Khufu is really interested, because the King “had spent much time in seeking for himself these secret chambers of the enclosure of Tehuti to fashion for himself their likeness for his horizon.” Khufu dispatches Radjedef to bring the Djedi back to the palace.

He returns with the Djedi, who quickly charms and awes the court with his magical abilities. Then the King comes to the point: ‚ÄúNow, as for the rumor that you know the number of the shrines of the secret chamber of the enclosure of Tehuti…?‚Äù Djedi says that he does not, although he knows where that information can be found. ‚ÄúThere is a box of flint in a chamber called the Revision of On: in that box.‚Äù The Djedi claims that he cannot recover this information, but the eldest of the triplets then in the womb of the wife of the high priest of ‚ÄúRe, Lord of Sakhbu,‚Äù will discover the information and found a new Dynasty. (This story comes from a cycle of five magical tales in Berlin Papyrus 3033, paraphrase and translation by the authors.)
Whatever we may think of the miraculous origins of the Vth Dynasty, this tale poses some interesting questions. Just what is the “enclosure of Tehuti?” And what are the “shrines of the secret chambers” whose likeness Khufu wants for his own “horizon?” Why is it that the information concerning these secrets could be found in a chamber called “Revision” in On, or Heliopolis as the Greeks called it a thousand years into its decline?
The so-called Inventory Stele of Khufu, found in the Isis Chapel near Khufu’s mortuary temple at Giza in the 1850’s, suggests that the “enclosure of Tehuti” is none other than the Great Pyramid complex itself. The stele clearly states that at least the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx were in existence at the time Khufu ascended to the throne. Peter Lemesurier, a pyramid scholar, has speculated that Khufu, which means simply (he) “protects us,” assumed the name of the traditional builder of the pyramid, Knum Khufu, or “Knum protects us,” to symbolize his possible reincarnative connection with this semi-mythical builder. One of the earliest artifacts of Egyptian civilization, the Narmer palette, indicates that the pyramids predated the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. A pyramid in a rectangular enclosure looms over the right shoulder of Narmer/Menes on the Lower Egypt side of the tablet like some relic from a forgotten age.
The Djedi story then presents us with the image of a King who doesn’t know the secret chambers of his own tomb, if we are to believe the Egyptologists. But the enclosure of Tehuti is clearly no tomb, and Khufu was sincerely interested in discovering its secrets. What these shrines of the secret chambers might be is suggested by the archaic title for the ancient Nome or precinct of On, Sakhbu. The literal translation of this word is “soul star place,” and the ancient Egyptians used it to describe the entire plateau at Giza.
According to the Pyramid Texts, the “soul star place,” which contains the enclosure of Tehuti and its secret chambers, is the Duat on earth through which the King travels as he makes his journey toward re-birth in Re’s Boat of a Million Years. Khufu wishes to know its secret so that his horizon, his transition, might truly result in immortality among the imperishable stars. This was no idle concern for Khufu. The Djedi story suggests that his failure to understand the mystery caused the failure of his Dynasty. It would be the Vth Dynasty Pharaohs who would bring forth or make public the secrets of the enclosure of Tehuti.
But the “soul star place” remains, and its inconceivably ancient monuments continue to haunt us with their mystery. Perhaps, just perhaps, the shrines of the secret chambers, like some time locked vault, have begun to open and we can glimpse through them an awe-filled universe of meaning and connection in which the ancient builders lived.

The secret chambers began to open in 1989 with an article in the Oxford journal, Discussions in Egyptology. Engineer Robert Bauval argued that not only did the pyramids at Giza exhibit a grand unified pattern, but also that pattern mirrored the stars in the constellation of Orion. In ancient Egypt, Orion was the “Place of Osiris,” suggesting a deep connection between the constellation and the myth of death and rebirth. Bauval’s idea made sense, (he would go on to co-author the bestsellers The Orion Mystery and The Message of the Sphinx) and further investigation has shown that the entire pyramid field, from Dashur to Abu Roash, may mirror the stars in the sky above it.
The plan of the Giza pyramids also exhibits an amazing degree of geometrical and mathematical coherence. For example, the three pyramids fit inside a rectangle formed from a vesicia piscis, from which the generative roots (the square root of 2, 3 and 5) are derived. The vesicia piscis also determines the angle of each face and the height of the floor of the King’s chamber. R.J. Cook demonstrated that a geometrical axial system linked the smaller pyramids with the center pyramid. He found that this system of linkages was based on the use of 60 degree and 26.5 degree angles.
Sixty degrees is the angle of an isosceles triangle; 26.5 degrees is the angle of the diagonal of a double square. The floor of the King’s Chamber is a double square and the ascending and descending passages are set at 26.5 degrees; this can hardly be accidental. The entire complex seems arranged to create a pointer indicating the helical rising of Orion/Osiris. Even more fascinating, a line drawn at 26.5 degrees north of east, the indicator point for the pre-dawn rise of Orion, runs from the second pyramid to Bethlehem in Palestine. Given the similarity between the dying god Osiris and the resurrected Christ, this alignment suggests an ancient stellar connection much too significant to be co-incidental.
A number of Giza researchers, including Max Toth, Rocky McCollum and William Buehler, have noticed that the arrangement of the three major pyramids produces a short section of a Golden Mean spiral. Extending this spiral on the ground leads to a small rise in the escarpment a few kilometers to the south-east of the pyramid complex. This area has received very little archeological attention since it covers a portion of the local village’s cemetery. The 1947 survey map notes the existence, near the center of the spiral, of an unidentified ruin of which nothing seems to have survived to the present. Without more research, including on-site inspection, the ground level Golden Mean spiral seems to be a dead end.
But, we wondered, what if we draw the Golden Mean spiral in the sky? If the pyramids are modeled on the stars in Orion’s belt, then they should also describe a small section of the Golden Mean spiral. If we continue the line in the sky, following the yellow brick road of the Golden Mean, we arrive at the heart of the figure of Orion/Osiris.
Visually, this appears to be an empty region of space, but radio and x-ray astronomy reveal a seething area of collapsing stellar material below and to the left of the shoulder star, Bellatrix. Stars are being born in the heart of Orion. Indeed, the general area of Orion has more stellar formation occurring than anywhere else in our local galactic neighborhood.
The complex geometry of Giza, the Sakhbu or “soul star place,” was apparently designed to embed and encode certain “truths” about the star fields of Orion. Giza’s monuments function as a cosmic clock, ticking off the ages through cyclical stellar alignments while establishing galactic scale resonance with the regions of energetic star birth far off in Orion. This resonating clock reminds of us who we are and where we came from on a galactic scale. It holds our cosmic memory, the echo of self-awareness that allows us to overcome our monkey body programming.

2 - “The sky has born you with Orion. . .”

The question remains: If the enclosure of Tehuti is the pyramid complex itself and the shrines of the secret chambers are the stellar alignments and geometric resonance points on the Giza plateau, then how can this information be found in a flint box in a storeroom in Heliopolis?
Several authors have suggested that the answer is perhaps a symmetry set of geometric solids, a primitive model of Buckminister Fuller’s icosa-dodecahedral earth grid. From our investigation, it seems more likely to have been The Precious Stone and the astronomical and practical instructions needed to make it work. And this does make sense; the monuments on Giza were there for all to see, no secret there. But how to use them was a secret that could be coded into a text and stored with a few models in a flint box.
Given that the “Book of Coming Forth unto the Light,” the core of the Pyramid Texts, appeared near the end of the Vth Dynasty, maybe SahuRe, the eldest of the royal triplets, did indeed find that flint box with the secret operating manual for the “soul star place.”
The Pyramid Texts, mankind’s oldest religious writings, were carved on the internal walls of one Vth Dynasty pyramid and four more from the VIth Dynasty. Frozen, like an ant in amber, these inscriptions record the definitive expression of an ancient star religion, whose beliefs included the translation of the dead king into a star in the constellation of Orion. Even the Victorian Egyptologists with their Christian and solar bias agreed that the Pyramid Texts had greater antiquity than the Vth Dynasty. Gaston Maspero, their original discoverer and translator, thought “the greater part were originally written during the pre-historic period of Egypt.” That is, at least before about 3300 BC.
Professor R. T. Rundle Clark, who had a great respect for the Pyramid Texts, notes that “the rising of Orion in the southern sky after the time of its invisibility is the sign. . . Osiris has been transformed into a ‘living soul.’ “ (Remember, the ability to mark this moment is one of the major design factors involved in the overall plan of the monuments on Giza. This line, indicated by the 26.5 degree angle north of east, points to the summer solstice sunrise at the time of Orion’s return; it also runs to Bethlehem.) The Texts themselves are quite clear on this:
“Behold he has come as Orion, behold Osiris has come as Orion. . . O king, the sky conceives you with Orion, the dawn-light bears you with Orion. . . you will regularly ascend with Orion from the eastern regions of the sky, you will regularly descend with Orion in the western region of the sky.” (Pyramid Texts, line 820-2)
“O king, you are this Great Star, the Companion of Orion, who traverses the sky with Orion, who Navigates the (Duat) Netherworld with Osiris; you ascend from the east of the sky, being renewed in your due season, and rejuvenated in your due time. The sky has born you with Orion. . .” (Pyramid Texts, line 882-3)
A little further along in the same passage, we find an important clue: “I am a soul. . . I (am) a star of gold. . .” (Pyramid Texts, Line 886-9)
Thus the dead King, as an “Osiris,” evolved to inhabit a newly born stellar matrix in the constellation of Orion. The Duat, translated as Netherworld by most Egyptologists, actually appears to be the star birth Bardo field in the heart of Orion. There the newly immortal King must “Navigate the Duat” as a companion of Orion/Osiris. Significantly, the Osiris-king announces: “The sky is pregnant of wine (the dawn-light), Nuit has given birth to her daughter, the dawn-light, I raise myself indeed. . .” (Pyramid Texts, line 1082-3)
In several places in the Pyramid Texts, a curious statement is made: “The (dead) king’s sister is Sothis, (Sirius) his offspring is the Morning Star. . .” (Pyramid Texts, lines 357, 929, 935, 1707) It is easy to see Isis, Osiris’ sister/wife, as the star Sirius, which follows Orion in the sky. But to see Horus, Osiris’ offspring, as the Morning Star, Venus, takes a bit of understanding. Until we remember that Venus, rising against the zodiac of the ecliptic, creates a five-pointed star through time. This symbol, a star made of five lines drawn from a common center toward the points in the zodiac of Venus’ rising, covers the ceiling of Unas’ pyramid where the earliest Pyramid Text is inscribed.
Horus, the son of Osiris, was the prototype of the earthly king; the Egyptian Pharaohs ruled in his name. As such, the symbol of Horus preserves the idea of transcendence and the possibility of stellar evolution. Again, the Pyramid Texts give a flavor of this: “. . .and Har-Sopd has come forth from you as Horus who is in Sothis (Isis). . . and he protects you in his name of Horus, the son who protects the father. . .” (Pyramid Texts, lines 632-3) Har-Sopd, or Horus who is the morning star, is depicted as a hawk-headed human with a Nuit star in a circle above his head.
If the Pyramid Texts are truly the operating manual for the monuments on Giza and their evolutionary resonance with the star fields of Orion, then they deserve much more study than they have received in the century or so since their discovery. Others, primarily Robert Bauval in The Orion Mystery, have drawn attention to these clues, but Egyptologists and archeologists have been slow to respond. No attempt has been made to examine other texts of comparable antiquity, such as the Builder Texts of Edfu and Dendera, for more clues. It is as if this tantalizing evidence of man’s early fascination with this vibrantly creative area of stellar birth leads to a dead end.
Perhaps for the academics, with reputations to make and preserve, it does. But for the group of mystics, scientists and esoteric philosophers interested in ancient wisdom, these clues provide startling evidence of Old Kingdom Egypt’s knowledge of the equivalent of a spiritual unified field theory. For them, the monuments on Giza are reminders of humanity’s galactic destiny.

3 – “… a star of Gold…”

Let’s start with the clue about gold. “…I am a soul… I (am) a star of gold…” Osiris/Pharaoh announces. Before we dismiss this as mere poetry, remember that the Egyptian hieroglyphic language was capable of a dense structure of meaning. The “soul,” sa, has a precise meaning. It is the wave nature, the flow of the breath, of the spirit, the khu. The Hebrew word ruach, breath or spirit, preserves this meaning. In Genesis, we are told that God’s breath, His ruach moved across the waters of chaos to begin the process of creation. The sages of On would have agreed, saying that Re put forth his sakhu as he rose from the waters of Nun.
Therefore, the king is declaring that he has entered the state of being called “soul,” a state where the flow of spirit is self-sustaining, self-referencing and self-aware. To be such a soul is to have the possibility of immortality.
He reinforces this by declaring that he has become “a star of gold.” This also has a very precise meaning. One of the deepest held secrets of the Egyptian mysteries was how to rearrange the Nuit star, five lines pointing out from a common center, into an interlocked pentagram, the same five lines crossing around the common center to create an infinite nest of Phi ratios. To the Egyptian sages, this symbolized the embedding of cosmic evolution, the Light of the Horus current, into biological evolution.
And indeed, this pentagonal array is a constant in nature, appearing in everything from the petals on a flower to the bipedal symmetry of the human form. The Pythagoreans claimed that the pentagram was the perfect symbol of humanity, and that its extension into space, the Gnostic “light in extension” of the dodecahedron, was the ultimate symbol of spirit. As the crystalline form of DNA actually forms a dodecahedron, the Pythagoreans were more correct than we might suppose.
Just as the pentagram is a nest of phi ratio recursion, gold, by its atomic geometry, is the most fractally recursive element. The outer d/f electron sub-shells exhibit a 5/7 symmetry pairing, which gives gold the shape of the perfect dodeca-icosa fractal. The dodecahedron, the Pythagorean symbol of spirit, nests with the icosahedron, a symbol for water, to create a polygon that is a model of the crystalline structure of our planetary jewel, according to researchers such as Beth Hagen. The planet then is the vessel or container for the unfoldment of The Cosmic Serpent of DNA, “living in water and emitting photons, like an aquatic dragon spitting fire,” as Jeremy Narby described it.
So the newly dead king’s statement can now be read as: “I am a self-sustaining, self-aware being, whose fractality, inside and out, is as infinite as the perfect shape of gold.” Suddenly, we are on a different level of understanding. With a flash, we see that the Egyptians were not just superstitious priests worshipping the sky out of ignorance; they were spiritual scientists with deep insight into the nature of reality and the physics of immortality. This insight seems to have come from the original creators of the Giza complex; those ancient sages who wrote down the secret texts and stored them in that flint box in Heliopolis.
But there is another way to interpret ‚Äúthe number of the shrines of the secret chamber of the enclosure of Tehuti…‚Äù The secrets in the flint box, guarded by the Brotherhood of Heliopolis, could be an Egyptian version of the Tree of Life or the I Ching, in which the 64 shrines count the moon year of Tehuti, whose name means ‚Äúthe one who measures the moon,‚Äù with its 13 months for a total 384 days or moving lines. Whatever the secret, its recovery by the Vth ands VIth Dynasty Pharaohs led to the expression of the soul-star religion on the walls of the later pyramids at Sakkara.

The Pharaoh did not become a soul merely by dieing. He underwent another, internal, process before his transition to a star of gold, a soul inhabiting a stellar matrix in the heart of Orion. The internal process of building a container for the outburst of transformative energies in the body can only be accomplished by the realization of infinite compassion. Literally, the oldest trick in the book…
Work by Lee Sanella and Isaac Bentov, Kundalini - Psychosis or Transcendence?, has shown that the onset of neural superconductivity, the tantric Kundalini or serpent power, is mediated by the sonic entrainment of the heart’s rhythm. A December, 1996 article by Dr. Irving Dardik in Cycles magazine entitled “Heart Waves as Fractality,” confirms that fractal immune identity is a possible solution to chronic illness. Perfect fractality, perfect coherence and self-awareness, produce perfect immunity, or near immortality of the body.
These findings suggest that by meditating on compassion, feeling the feelings of all beings, the sonic entrainment of the heart’s rhythm is braided into more complex and coherent patterns. These complex sound patterns can then contain the super-conductive neural charge of Kundalini onset, which is nothing less than a sudden resonance with the vivid laser-like intensity of the internal DNA light, and the use of this higher charge energy flow to braid a new being, the state of inhabiting a soul, becoming a conscious expression of the DNA. This soul charge can then be used to open a “magnetic wormhole” to the star fields in Orion. Or, it can be used to create a diamond imperishable body for use as a teaching vehicle down here on earth.
From the Tibetan Buddhist tradition comes many examples of the latter use of this implosive soul force. Padmasambhava, who brought Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century CE, is said to have attained his diamond body in the Asura Cave in Nepal after three years of tantric meditations. Something happened in that cave; the whole hillside is still pervaded with an astral intensity strong enough to grow a image of Tara, the Tibetan Isis, out of solid rock. Padmasambhava himself demonstrated the power of this transformation by melting the rock of the cave wall and pressing his hand into it like Clark Gable in wet cement on Hollywood Boulevard.
The Pharaoh then, as he began his journey to the star fields, should be seen as a kind of Boddhisatva, an enlightened being making a leap of evolution. The Pharaoh would, in theory, have completed a tantric-type compassion realization and then perhaps used a trace of “alchemical” gold to crystallize the process. Done properly, this would result in an enlightened being capable of compassionately inhabiting a newly born star. In other words, a person whose weak laser light from the DNA had suddenly become “pumped” by the feedback of conscious compassion into a powerfully coherent flash of light. If this flash is done consciously, with full mindfulness all the way down the level of the DNA, then the “Diamond Body of Light” becomes stable and perhaps even flexibly tangible.
Carried to its end, the implications of this belief system suggest that a vast compassionate and enlightened being also inhabits our own star, the sun. From this perspective, it is easy to understand the solar influence on Egyptian religion. Even Akhnaton’s insistence on worshipping the sun’s physical body, the Aton, as the only source of divinity makes sense as a way of establishing and strengthening a direct communication with that vast compassionate being whose star body is our sun and whose blueprint lies at the core of DNA.
The monuments of the “soul star place” and their hieroglyphic operating manual, the Pyramid Texts, offer solid evidence of an advanced civilization far back in prehistory that understood both the stellar mechanics of our local galactic neighborhood, the psycho-dynamics of neural superconductivity and the photon emission and absorption of DNA. This alone should make us sit up and take notice. That it does not may have consequences far beyond our comprehension.
What happened to the advanced civilization that designed and built these monuments? Was it destroyed in some cosmic catastrophe predicted by its own cosmic clock? Is that catastrophe point approaching critical once again?
Fulcanelli and the message of the Cross at Hendaye, as well as such distant cultural groups as the Mayan and the Inca, point to a date around 2012 as the crisis point. Terence McKenna, in his “Time Wave Zero” computer program, which uses the permutation pattern found in the primal arrangement of the I Ching’s trigrams, predicts that novelty, or lack of continuity in ideas, will also reach infinite around December of 2012. Keeping in mind what we have discovered about the ability of the DNA to absorb or emit light, then perhaps what has been interpreted as “novelty” is really the ability to absorb and translate the new influx of Light?
Perhaps this cosmic event is meant to be a harvesting mechanism for biologics who have learned to inhabit “souls” through the realization of compassion. If that is the case, then learning to weave your Bardo or transitional body into nicely fractal flows of self-awareness as infinite compassion, in other words communicate directly with your DNA, may just become the ultimate survival skill.
The geometry of Giza’s monuments and their resonance with the star fields of Orion teaches us that human evolution has a cosmic, stellar component. The pyramid complex holds our contiguous memory through the implosion of galactic catastrophe, and offers us hope for our own evolution. The practitioners of the ancient star religion, as shown by the monuments and legends they left behind, believed that sentience was evolving toward ever greater levels of compassionate awareness as a living stellar matrix, coalescing and nurturing the planetary jewels in hopes of nourishing life, which would in turn evolve toward stellar sentience. Perhaps we can think of this as the prime directive of our DNA programming.
As Nuit, the Egyptian star goddess, declared to Aleister Crowley in the first section of the Book of the Law: “Every man and every women is a star.” When we remember that all the matter in our bodies originated in the heart of stars, and that our consciousness, freed from its prison of matter, has the ability to return to the stars, then it is possible that Nuit is describing the literal truth. From the stars we came, and to them, if we learn our lessons, we shall one day return.

4 - The Secret of Light

Is this then the secret of alchemy, the science of Al Khema, and the black land of Egypt?
In part the answer is yes, but we must remember that the Pharaonic science of immortality by re-birth as a star in Orion is but one application of the ancient star-science we have called astro-alchemy. According to Egyptian tradition, the institution of kingship was received from the Hru Shemsu, the semi-divine Company of Horus, so that humanity might have a direct connection with the process of creation. One of the duties of the Pharaoh was to keep the Djed of Osiris properly aligned so that the world participated in the divine or stellar stability.
The Patriarch Abraham, through his knowledge of Egyptian and Indian astronomy, formulated the Djed concept as the Tree of Life, the pattern of divine unfoldment that created the world and formed the basis of human sentience. Hebrew Gnostics, such as Rabbi Nehuniah and the Mercabah traditions of the Bahir, developed this idea into the mystical Path of Return. By experiencing the states of being, symbolized originally by the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and later by the images of the Tarot Trumps, the cabalist ascends by degrees to the Godhead. This pattern was visualized as both internal, as a map to the active Kundalini centers in the body, and external, as the dragon axis of the galactic alignments.

William Stirling wrote in The Canon: An Exposition of the Pagan Mystery Perpetuated in the Cabala as the Rule of All Art: “The process of creation may be expressed by inscribing the cabalistic diagram in the upper hemisphere, so that the apex or crown reaches to the Milky Way, while the tenth step will coincide with earth.” Stirling’s “cabalistic diagram” is the ten step pattern of unfoldment known to occultists as the Tree of Life, and according to his explication, it is the basic pattern of the Canon itself.
He writes: “The doctrine of the Cabala was reduced to a geometric diagram, in which ten steps were grouped according to a progressive scheme, so that the emanations of the Spirit of the Elohim issues from the first step called the Crown, and after passing through the whole figure is carried through the ninth step, and finally reaches the tenth or last of the series.” This cabalistic diagram described by Stirling was first elucidated in the 2nd century Sepher Yetsirah. It pictures reality as the intersection of levels of abstraction.
Stirling tells us that “the ideas which the ancients connected… and combined into this figure of ten progressive steps, appears to form the basis of all their philosophy, religion, and art, and in it we have the nearest approach to a direct revelation of the traditional science, or Gnosis, which was never communicated except by myths and symbols.” From this we can see that the framework, the Gnostic pattern, behind the universal language of symbolism, the Language of the Birds and the Green Language, is this great word/world tree of geometry.
All of which points to DNA as the source of the imagery. Remember, the ten spheres and the serpent-like entwining of the 22 paths, make for a total of 32 qualities and their reflection, which of course matches the 64 protein synthesis code words of t-RNA. The 22 letters of the paths correspond to the 20 amino acid pairs and the two punctuation marks formed by t-RNA. The 23 chromosomes that each individual passes on in reproduction can be seen as the 22 paths of the language, with the addition of the Malkuth, or earth element that creates both gender and individuality. In essence, the Tree Of Life is an elegant and symbolic way to express the patterns found in the DNA. It is also the Ladder of our western shamanic Gnosis.

Fulcanelli used this Tree of Life pattern to organize his perspective on alchemy. He carefully gives us four Trees, suggesting the projected Tree of Life on the celestial sphere of the Bahir. From this astronomical pattern of alignments comes the Cube of Space, the Precious Stone of the Wise, which eventually became the Holy Grail and the Philosopher’s Stone of alchemy.
The projected Tree of Life pattern also gives us insight into the Pharaonic star-birth process. The projected Tree, whose Tiphareth point falls on the cusp of Taurus/Gemini and includes the Pleiades, contains the constellation of Orion. In this arrangement, the Netzach sphere falls on Sirius, hence its connection to Isis and the confusion with Venus, the planetary attribution for that sphere. On the Tree of Life, developed as the Path of Return, the path from Netzach to Tiphareth is attributed to the Hebrew letter Nun and the Tarot Trump Death. Significantly, it is also attributed to the zodiacal sign of Scorpio, the location of the “stinging” center of the galaxy.
With this in mind, we can see the Pharaoh’s star-birth as part of a larger process. The star fields of Orion, which lie a mere 70 light years away, are the closest area of stellar creation to our solar system. The Pharaoh attained immortality in these star fields as he passed in death along the path of Nun, which in Egyptian is the word for the primeval ether soup out of which all of creation arose, through the area of stellar formation in the heart of Orion. Thus, by being reborn as a star in Osiris’ company, the Pharaoh reenacted on a local level the original creation of the universe.
In order to achieve this, the Pharaoh must initiate the transformational and creative process within himself before or at the moment of death. LaViolette has demonstrated that spontaneous creation of matter and energy from the ether soup is a matter of geometric stressors, symbolized by his Model G reaction pattern and known to the ancients as the Ankh, the image of “universal life” in Fulcanelli’s words. The Ankh, as we have noted, is the only form of the cross to contain the entire Tree of Life pattern without disturbing its natural order. It is also symbolic of the Southern Cross, visible in the winter sky through most ancient Egypt’s history, and its use as an astral marker of the galactic alignment.
The constellation Crux, the Southern Cross, stands on the galactic meridian, and its vertical axis points to the South Celestial Pole. Its horizontal axis is tilted, at this precessional epoch, to point directly at the galactic center. If we continue the vertical line from the South Celestial Pole through the Cross and on to Centaurus and Corvus and then to the cusp of Leo/Virgo, we see that the Southern Cross is a perfect precessional marker in the sky. The age can be read by its vertical orientation. The Southern Cross connects the South Celestial Pole and the start point of the precessional Great Year in Leo/Virgo. As this axis moves backward through time, the Southern Cross forms the galactic seasons by aligning the celestial and ecliptic poles with the solstice and equinoxes and the galactic meridian.
Since the Southern Cross is now a Southern Hemisphere constellation, we do not realize that it was visible on the southern horizon above the 30-degrees north-latitude line for most of the precessional epoch of Aries. The Greeks, who were too far north to appreciate it clearly, considered it as part of the constellation Centaurus and only learned of its importance, and the idea of precession itself, from the Egyptians. As the epoch of Aries drew to a close, it was obvious that the Cross was leaving the Northern Hemisphere for another 23,760 years. Thus the Southern Cross is the “essential cross [that] salutes the measure of the twelfth part,” or the one precessional epoch of 2,160 years out of the twelve epochs of the complete precessional year, 25,920 years, when it is visible above 30 degrees north latitude.

The Pharaoh then built the Ankh within himself by aligning his subtle bodies or energy fields in this pattern. Dr. Robert Masters, in his book The Goddess Sekhmet, describes the Egyptian theory of the five magical bodies that, when aligned properly, creates a super-sensible or divine consciousness. This is even more interesting when we remember that Sekhmet, as the Great Eye of Ra, is actually a metaphor for the eruption of the galactic core. Masters’ five bodies, the Aufu, the Ka, the Hadit, the Khu and the Sahu, are exact duplicates in function with LaViolette’s five reaction steps in the self-sustaining Model G active ether geometry.
When this alignment is achieved, there is a burst of spontaneous matter/energy creation, which if employed consciously, can be used to generate a “light body,” the diamond or imperishable body of the Tibetan tantrics. When it occurs without conscious initiation and control, then a number of dire results can occur, from illness and insanity to death by spontaneous combustion. Indeed, the numerous and well-documented examples of spontaneous human combustion are proof of the process’ reality. Modern physics has no answer for the mystery of such combustion, but if we see it as one end of a spectrum, the other being the creation of an immortal light body, then the mystery resolves itself.
To see this a little more clearly, we need to look once more at the Egyptian magical text mentioned in chapter three. From the Paris Papyrus, it is one of the gems discovered in Egypt by Napoleon’s savants. In papyrus IV, lines 475-830, we find a ritual to attain immortality through inhaling Light. The aspirant is first told to perform seven days of rituals, and then three days of dark retreat. On the morning of the eleventh day, the aspirant is to face the rising sun and perform an invocation: “ First source of all sources. . .perfect my body. . .(so) that I may participate again in the immortal beginning. . .that I may be reborn in thought. . .and that the holy spirit may breathe in me.”
With this the aspirant inhales the first rays of the rising sun, and then leaves his body behind and rises into the heavens, filled with Light. “For I am the Son (of the Sun), I surpass the limits of my souls, I am (magical symbol for Light).”
Eleven is the number of the Gnostic sephiroth Daat, and Fulcanelli uses this mystical perspective in his explication of the 46th image in Le Mystere. Whether Fulcanelli knew of the Paris Papyrus and its formula for inhaling light is unclear, but he certainly understood the process. We can see this in his description of the enigmatic credence of Lallemant Mansion, which he assigns to the Daat position in his fourth Tree of Life pattern.

An architectural credence is a false door or window. This immediately suggests the Egyptian false door used in tombs and the Islamic mithrab or prayer niche. In Egyptian architecture, the false door allows the ‘Ka’, or the spirit double that lies within all of us, access to the ‘Ka’ statue, the body’s immortal form, hidden in a chamber behind the door. This is the doorway to the Duat, or the astral realm of the light beings. The spirit, or light within us, lives in this realm after the death of the body. This echoes the Gnostic “spark of light” trying to find it’s way back to the great central light of the universe.
In Islam, the mithrab is the prayer doorway to Mecca and the inner mysteries of Mohammed’s revelation. In many Sufi sects, the mithrab has the geometric pattern of the Tree of Life, without Malkuth, inscribed in its niche. This is usually coupled with the Light Verse from the Qu’ran — Sura 24, verse 35. To the Sufis, this verse exemplifies the very idea of illumination. Idries Shah called the verse “the essence of Sufism,” and goes on to suggests that it “conceals the nature of the cognition of the extra dimensions of the human consciousness which comes beyond the intellect.”
The mithrab/credence in Lallemant mansion combines Islamic concepts with the even deeper meaning of a door to the Duat from Egyptian cosmology. It has three layers, as does the Egyptian false door. On the inner surface of the niche is a letter rebus that, as we will see, distills the essence of the Sufi Light Verse. We are also reminded of the Abbot Suger: “Bright is the noble work, this work shining nobly/ Enlightens the mind so that it may travel through the true lights/ To the True Light where Christ is the true door.”
In the niche of the credence at Lallemant are the letters RERE on one line, followed by the letters, RER on the next. This is repeated twice more for a total of six lines, hence doubling or crossing: two times three equals six. It looks like this:

RERE
RER
RERE
RER
RERE
RER

Fulcanelli slyly suggests that we break the pattern down into RE, RER, RERE in order to understand its hidden meaning. This kind of binary triplet patterning occurs in the I Ching and in our RNA/DNA codes, significant clues, as we will see. He also suggests that we look at the pattern as a rebus, or word picture. In Hebrew, the letter R, or Resh, was considered the pictogram of the Face, and was attributed to the sun. This suggests Horus Or, the elder sun god, whose Egyptian name, Hru, is the same word as “face.” The letter E, in its aspirated consonant form, is Heh in Hebrew, or “the window. “ RE then suggests “The Light of the Face of the Sun” shining through a window. It is also Re, the Egyptian sun god of Heliopolis. Given this, then it follows that one possible meaning of this section of image #46 is “The Light shines in.”
Following the same rebus pattern, RER becomes the Light shining in and generating more light inside. This internal light is the double of the “Light of the Face of the Sun.” It is “the light of the son of the Sun,” that is - the transmutational illumination that is inside of each of us, the spark of the Gnostics.
Continuing the idea, RERE is the generated internal light shining out again on the world. The reversal expressed in the pattern calls attention to this outward projection. Thus the two words, RERE and RER, can be read as: 1) Light shining in, light shining out: RERE; and 2) Light shining in stimulates internal light; RER. This all sounds fairly mystical but what does it actually mean?

The repetition suggests a sequence with six lines, such as a hexagram of the I Ching. If we take the RER to be a yin line and the RERE to be a yang line, then the credence gives us the 64th hexagram of the I Ching: “Before Completion.” If we flip the attribution so that RER is yang and RERE is yin, then we have hexagram #63, “After Completion.” These hexagrams are composed of two trigrams, Li, flame or light, and K’an, water or the abyss. Therefore we have the image of “fire over water; the conditions before transition,” and “water over fire, the conditions after transition,” as the sages described it in the text. This image suggests the Silver Star of the Wise, rising from the depths of space to signal the completion of the Great Work, and the symbol of both the prima materia and the completed process, the cosmic serpent biting its own tail of DNA itself.
Jeremy Narby, in his book The Cosmic Serpent, describes DNA as “living in water and emitting photons, like an aquatic dragon spitting fire.” This certainly matches the image of the two hexagrams we can make from the pattern on the credence, and suggests that the I Ching and the DNA light language might be the same thing, the same “text.” Researchers, such as Rattemeyer, Popp and Ho, consider this bio-photon emission and absorption as a kind of “bio-communication between cells and organisms,” and their work over the last 15 years suggest that this language is used not merely on the cellular level but also as a communication and organization mechanism in macro-organisms such as plankton swarms. Narby presents startling evidence that shamanic states can function as an access way to this internal flow of information in the form of symbols and imagery.
In the early 1970s, a German physician published a small monograph, entitled The I Ching and the Genetic Code, with introductions by a Buddhist and a mathematician. In this work, Dr. Martin Schonberger pointed out the obvious connections between the genetic code as unraveled by Crick and Watson, and the ancient Chinese oracle, the I Ching or Book of Changes. Dr. Schonberger’s comparisons can be summarized as 1) Both the DNA and the I Ching are based on polarity, yin and yang in the case of the I Ching, up and down symmetry in the case of DNA’s double helix; 2) Four “letters” are available, A,T,C,G in the case of DNA, resting yin, moving yin, resting yang and moving yang in the I Ching, which are grouped in pairs; 3) Three of these words form either a code for protein synthesis or a trigram; 4) The direction in which the codes are read is strictly determined in both; 5) There are 64 of these triplets or double trigrams, from which all creation, in the case of DNA, and fate in the case of the I Ching, are derived; 6) Two of these triplets have names, beginning and end. In the DNA they serve as punctuation between code sequences. In the I Ching, we have hexagrams # 63 and # 64, which serve the same purpose.
Soon after Dr. Schonberger’s book was published, Fritz Albert Popp began his groundbreaking work on bio-photon emission and communication by the DNA. As soon as Dr. Schonberger learned of Dr. Popp’s early work, he wrote to him and asked his opinion. “Since information and matter cross in the genetic code, it may be expected that evolution has selected the most favorable, i.e. the surest, and at the same time most economical, principle,” Dr Popp wrote back. “The only solution to the problem is to seek understanding of DNA… as you have done, from the information theory angle.”
As we saw above, the Tree of Life is also a way to organize the information of the DNA. When viewed as a 3 dimensional object, the Tree of Life becomes a prism-like crystal, which increases its resemblance to the liquid crystal of DNA. We can see these two great information theories as emblematic of the eastern and western approaches. The Ladder-like approach of the Tree of Life complements the language-like structure of the I Ching. What unites them is the realization of the DNA/light, even in symbolic terms, from which they originate.
And there is also a temporal element. The McKenna brothers, Terence and Dennis, in their groundbreaking work The Invisible Landscape postulated that the King Wen arrangement of the I Ching contained a backward and forward flowing pattern of numbers, and that these numbers could be used to construct an interface with similar vital holons, or holistic hierarchies, in the organization of space/time.
The McKennas demonstrated this by overlaying the 384 lines of the 64 hexagrams (6 x 64 = 384) on the 13-month lunar calendar (13 x 29.53 days = 383.89 days). They then used these basic units to develop a temporal lock with the solar/sunspot cycle, the Zodiacal Ages, and the length of the Great Year of precessional motion. With the same increment, 64, they found it was possible to assemble a 26-step model of space/time from the size/age of the universe down to Planck’s Constant. In this view, the I Ching is a fractal model of all that is, was, or will be. It is also hologramic, in that the piece, the I Ching, or the DNA code, contains the information of the whole evolving universe.
Applying this realization to the structure of the King Wen arrangement also produces a model of the holonic nature of evolution. If we think of the time from the emergence of life on earth to the immediate future, roughly 1.3 billion years, as one increment and then begin to divide that by 64, some interesting time periods are highlighted. Our first division, one 64th of 1.3 billion years, brings us to the high point of the mammals, 18 million years ago. The next division by 64 brings us to 275,000 BCE, the dawn of Homo sapiens. Dividing again by 64 brings us to the high point of the ancient cultures such as the Egyptian around 2300 BCE. Another division brings us to the mid 20th century and the last 67 + years of the cycle.
According to this view, all of biological and cosmological time is approaching a point of concrescence in the near future. The McKennas found that a date, the winter solstice of 2012, matched the waveform derived from King Wen’s arrangement to historical events. The end of World War II and the atomic bomb, for instance, fell on 1945, the year of the last division, the beginning of the last 67 + years of biological and galactic evolution which completes the vast hexagram of time which began 72.25 billion years ago.
Perhaps this might be just coincidence.
Or is there really a very sophisticated meme for transformation and gnosis that runs through all religions and spiritual traditions? Is this tradition holding the knowledge of our past for a release some time in the future? Could light, in the form of weak laser pulses from our DNA, be the source of this information? Could the pattern itself, the yin/yang polarity of hexagrams #63 and #64, reveal when understood the ultimate secret?

5 – “Light upon Light…”

The Sufis certainly seemed to be aware of this same pattern and the secret within it. In fact the pattern is most clearly recognized in the Light Sura of the Qu’ran. Sura 24, verse 35, which reads (in an Egyptianized version):

Re is the Light of the Heavens and the earth,
A light that is like unto a lamp within a niche.
The lamp shines within a crystal like a blazing Star,
Lit from the Tree of Life, the Djed, of neither east nor west,
Its fuel, translucent oil, radiating without the effect of fire
Light upon Light!

The pattern in image #46 and the light verse parallel each other like this:

Re is the Light of the Heavens and the earth, –
RE is the first line — Light shines through everything.
(The luminous “sea” of light generated by all the DNA on the planet.)

A light that is like unto a lamp within a niche.
RER (light) is the second line - The lighting of the inner lamp, the light within our souls, the light within the niche. (The light coming from our DNA in its niche or vase of chromatin.)

The lamp shines within a crystal like a blazing Star,
ERRE is the third line — The inner light blazes out like a star, or a light body. (The resonance or amplification of the DNA light generated by meditative focus or shamanic states of consciousness.)

Then just repeat the pattern for the second three:

Lit from the Tree of Life, the Djed, of neither east nor west,
RER is the fourth line — the miraculous light of the Djed, which is the galactic center axis, the third pillar of the Dragon axis. (A new stimulus to the DNA, perhaps designed to be received by the long strands of non-sense coding.)

Its fuel, translucent oil, radiating without the effect of fire
ERRE (light) is the fifth line — the oil of the inner light radiating without the effect of fire. This is the inner light that creates the translucent light body. (The new light stimulates the transformation of the DNA, possibly activating whole new sections of code.)

Light upon Light!
RER is the sixth line — Light upon light. The ultimate Gnostic ideal for the perfection of the universe - all will be one with the Light. (This new light, and its effect on the DNA, allow for a transformation into Light.)

The last ER begins the pattern over again in reverse order, just like the DNA itself. This creates an endless interweaving of meaning. (1)RE/(2)RE - R/(3)ER - RE/(4)RE - R/(5)ER - RE/(6)RE - R/(7)ER/(6) R - ER/(5)ER - RE, and so on to infinity.
This sums it up: The pattern repeats the same information over and over. It seems to be saying that the unfoldment of light and the creation of “light upon light” are of paramount importance, the ultimate secret of alchemy. The secret of how to create light and inhale it until the alchemist becomes pure golden light.

Fulcanelli tells us to seek first the vessel in which to contain the volatile, meaning that a container is necessary for the work to succeed. Without it, we are left only with the uncontrollable fire of spontaneous combustion. He also comments that we should undertake nothing until we “have received the light on this eggshell, which the masters of the Middle Ages called the secret secretorum.” The inscription on the interior of the credence, which, Fulcanelli informs us, has never been explained by any visitor, reveals this secret of secrets. But once the meaning of this curious inscription has been revealed, the student finds the very heart of the alchemical mystery.
As we saw above, the meaning of this curious inscription can be deciphered by referring to the Light Verse of the Qu’ran. Its gnostic injunction, “Light upon Light,” points us in the right direction. The message of the credence can be summarized as the Light shining into the vessel, sparking an internal light fueled by the translucent oil of brain chemistry. This internal light fills the entire body, converting it into light, which then radiates out as the shining light or star body of imperishable quality.
The fragment of the Paris Papyrus suggests that the original light that shines in is the light of the sun. But what if there is a special kind of light, such as the glow of an exploding galactic center, which triggers this transformation whether we are prepared or not? In addition to a physical disaster, we could also be faced with a spiritual or psychological disaster in which the transformational process is triggered automatically, creating havoc among those who are unprepared for the astro-alchemical transmutation.
The preparation of this alchemical vessel, the vase of Fulcanelli, is the vase of Mary, the Queen of Heaven, which contains the all-healing balm, and is formed from the projection of the Tree of Life on the celestial sphere. When this vase is filled with the mystical fire of continuous creation, the prima materia is transformed into the philosophical mercury, from which the powder of projection, the active form of the Philosopher’s Stone, can be derived.
As Fulcanelli informs us in very clear language: “Therefore make your vase, then your compound; seal it with care, in such a way that no spirit can escape; heat the whole according to the art until it is calcinated. Return the pure part of the powder obtained to your compound, which you will seal up in the same vase. Repeat for the third time and do not give me any thanks.”
In this comment, Fulcanelli has supplied the careful student with all the information required to understand the process. We can do no better than agree with the Master when he says: “I ask for neither remembrance nor gratitude, but only that you should take the same trouble for others as I have taken for you.”

6 - The mystery of the cathedrals is the secret of light.

“Bright is the noble work, this work shining nobly/ Enlightens the mind so that it may travel through the true lights/ To the True Light where Christ is the true door.”

Abbot Suger on St. Dennis Cathedral

From the cathedral builders’ Lux Continua of Abbot Suger’s quote all the way back to the ancient Pharaohs of Egypt and their star religion, we find this overwhelming emphasis on light. It is a common factor in spiritual beliefs and practices around the planet, and the art of light, the Green Language of the DNA, is the key element in the science of alchemy.
Cathedrals and other temples through out human history were places designed to aid the successful communication between DNA and human beings. Each step in the initiatory process was designed to further enhance this communication. Using richly coloured light, darkness, music, prayer, invocation and rituals, including when possible the ingestion of psycho-active substances, the alchemist/shaman would drift deeper and deeper into the galactic knowledge that lies at the heart of the photon emission symbolism of the coiled serpent that is DNA. This transmission of knowledge became the starting point for all of human culture.
Until the last decade or so of the 20th century, the Green Language of the Initiates could only be understood symbolically and metaphorically, or experienced as an internal awareness. Now however, the work of a whole cadre of molecular biologists has provided our mystical gnosis with a solidly physical and experimentally verifiable basis from which to understand Fulcanelli’s Ur-language. If the light emitted as weak laser pulses by the DNA of all life is in fact a language or form of communication that uses symbols and imagery, as suggested by the evidence, then the most important secret of all, “the number of the shrines of the secret place of Tehuti,” would be the text or informational content of that message.
As we have seen, both the Tree of Life and the I Ching can be considered as ways of translating the text of DNA’s message into a communicable exogenetic form. Both of these versions contain information on the structure of life, the absorption and emission of photons and point to the same specific time, the coming galactic alignment in 2012, as the moment of the apocalypse, in its original meaning of cosmic unveiling.
The increasing graphs of Terence Mc Kenna’s Time Wave Zero point to a maximum of “novelty” at that point. Perhaps this novelty is simply the graph of the DNA’s increasing sensitivity to the new frequencies of light produced by the galactic alignment or the arrival of a galactic core burst? Could the cosmic unveiling be of a new form of Light that forces on us a species wide transformation? Could this already be occurring?
Could the message really be extinction or enlightenment?

“Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; But the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’” Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day that you eat it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God …”
Genesis Chapter Three Verses 1 - 4

DNA is in everything that lives and DNA created everything that lives. But what if DNA is more than just a collection of molecular codes? What if DNA is, itself, intelligent? And what if this intelligence is cosmic, or at least galactic, in nature?
What if life is not an accident, or just a series of adaptations and mutations, as our modern day evolutionists would have us believe? What if life is a universal prerogative? As Nobel Laureate Christian de Duve tells us in his book Vital Dust: “Life was bound to arise under the prevailing conditions, and it will arise similarly wherever and whenever the same conditions obtain. There is hardly any room for ‘lucky accidents’ in the gradual multi-step process whereby life originated.”
The incredible degree of chance required to explain the “accident” theory of evolution causes the entire idea to collapse. Dr. De Duve and other biologists are moving swiftly towards the idea that DNA has a blueprint, or a map, that guides it towards complexity. This would help to explain the many gaps and holes in the theory of evolution. From the very beginning of its origins here on Earth, it appears that DNA has been on a constant course towards increasing complexity, from bacteria to one-celled creatures, from aquatic to land, from plants to flowers, from animal to human, from nature to culture.
But why does DNA seek complexity?

Nature, in the form of DNA, seeks to propagate itself. It is highly likely that this propagation is not limited to our small planet but that it stretches throughout the entire universe. Is it possible that DNA is occupying and populating billions of worlds with a vast multitude of forms and shapes, creating more vessels in which complex life can evolve?
If propagation of itself is its number one goal, then how might DNA achieve a high degree of efficiency and success in this act? Could there be a link between DNA’s inner design towards complexity and its own desire to propagate itself? We might even think of these as twin drives, the need to evolve complexity arising out of the need to propagate. Complexity by its very nature would insure survival.
Perhaps DNA is continuously rolling the dice, recombining itself on each new world always seeking greater complexity. It continues this process until it creates the most complex organism in the universe: a Conscious Being. This is a Being that can examine the DNA itself, understand it and perhaps communicate directly with it. This is a Being that can gaze out into the cosmos and know what it is seeing. The reason for creating this Conscious Being would be so that the DNA could successfully pass on its intergalactic knowledge to such a creature. The Conscious Being would not only learn this vital and unique information, but would also be in a position to do something with it. And one of the first things such a Conscious Being attempted would be to translate the information received from the DNA into a symbolic framework that could be shared.
Using its own inner photon emission as its way of transmitting the knowledge, DNA generates light, and therefore image and symbol, as its language. As the Conscious Being learns more from the DNA, it also increases its chances for success and survival. It is therefore in the DNA’s interest to create ever more conscious beings with which to communicate.
The art of Alchemy was born from this understanding. The coiled serpent has always been an alchemical symbol for cosmic knowledge. Alchemy, “the science of light,” sought to establish a direct line of communication with the Intelligence that lies at the heart of matter. Therefore, alchemy seeks, and has always sought, the means of direct communication with the DNA. Once this communication was firmly established, the doorway to a vast array of information and knowledge opened. The wisdom of a million worlds became available to those who had realized, understood and transmitted the secret of Alchemy.
Through many centuries this ancient wisdom, in true communication with the DNA, revealed that certain sounds, architecture, lights and plant substances enhanced the experience and made the communication between human and the DNA more pristine. The initiations into this wisdom were a preparation for the advance into the light of pure knowledge, the experience of Gnosis. As the initiate advanced through the degrees of this illumination, the communication with the DNA became clearer and less garbled.
This knowledge eventually became a tradition. The tradition implies that the DNA in human beings can be altered by any shift in the quality of light that strikes our eyes and affects our pineal gland. This subtle alteration in the quality of light changes the way that we perceive time. Therefore the quality of light dictates the quality of time.
The successful alchemist is in close communication with the DNA. This line of communication is dictated by the quality of light that is measured and predicted by the cube of space. As our planet and solar system pass through the galaxy the quality of light changes, sometimes dramatically. Changes, in the nature of light, causes changes in the nature of time, sometimes catastrophically.

Once, all over the world, there was an initiatory tradition that understood this and much more.

“If a person has eyes that know how to see, he will look upward to the heavens and he will see the beautiful image of the serpent coiled there, at the place where the great sky begins. Then he will understand that no being in heaven, or on earth, or in hell was formed without the serpent.”
The Gnostics by Jaques Lacarriere

The Emerald Tablet, itself a glyph for the Green Language of the DNA, insists that the great secret is “As above, so below.” From the perspective of the DNA, this is nothing less than the literal truth.
Let us imagine for a moment what it would be like to see the world from the view point of a successful shaman/alchemist, a 46th degree Ophiuchus serpent holder so deeply absorbed into the DNA Light that, as David Ovason suggests, one is literally dressed in the skin of the dragon. Looking out into space, one sees the great dragon coiled around the still point of the sky. Looking inward one sees the great serpent of fire encircling the life force itself.
It is as if the universe is one infinite fractal hologram where the same patterns and images repeat no what the scale, and that fractal universe is also within us, within every cell of our body, radiating light and information just like the greater universe of stars and planets.
To the ancient Egyptians, one would then be ready for translation into an imperishable body in the heart of Orion. In the Tibetan tradition, one might, as did Padmasambhava, create a Diamond Body from this realization here on earth as a way to fulfil the boddhisatva vow of infinite compassion. Either way, the process is virtually the same, and, most important, it is available to all of us. All it takes is sentience.
In closing, we can do no better than to leave the last word to Fulcanelli himself:
“The mysterious science requires great precision, accuracy and perspicacity in observing the facts, a healthy, logical and reflective mind, a lively but not over-excitable imagination, a warm and pure heart. It also demands the greatest simplicity and complete indifference with regard to theories, systems and hypotheses, which are generally accepted without question on the testimony of books or the reputation of their authors. It requires its candidates to learn to think more with their own brains and less with those of others. Finally, it insists that they should check the truth of its principles, the knowledge of its doctrine and the practice of its operations from nature, the mother of us all.”
