There has been some important practical research done recently regarding the Earth’s energy meridians, known as ‘Ley-lines,’ (English) ‘Fairy Paths,’ (Irish) ‘Dragon Paths,’ (Chinese) and ‘Song Lines,’ (Australian Aborigine.)
The first research into ‘Ley lines’ in modern times was attempted by Alfred Watkins, who first coined the term “Ley” in 1921.
Two pioneers in this area, who have published their findings in recent years, are Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller: The Sun and the Serpent, (1989), and The Dance of the Dragon, (2000).
The existence of these ‘Leys’ is still being debated between researchers and scientists. However, like the human mind that can perceive and contemplate their existence, ‘Leys’ cannot be measured: our present understanding is that they are “conduits” of infinite energy that only become extant when we find many different sites or famous landmarks linked together in a straight line - these alignments originally based on what our distant ancestors had found perhaps through psychic means - i.e., dowsing. We could think of Leys as neutral-zero null-lines.
Before we go onto the subject of ‘Leys’ and the Earth’s lines of force, we are going to look at wave phenomena.
What follows is perhaps how our ancient ancestors understood the dynamic driving force in all wave phenomena and in their own simple way. See also Cycle Diagrams. (Click on Ouroborus image entitled Cycle Diagrams).
Figure 1: Travelling Wave

Positive-Peak, Negative-Dip and the Transliminal (Neutral)
As we can see, a wave is really the same cycling motion of energy as what goes on within a torus vortex, (see below) but in our three-dimensional reality it can be ‘drawn out’ as if the cycle is moving or rolling along between two points in space – as between location ‘A’ and location ‘B.’ As many of us will know, ‘travelling waves’ cycle or oscillate along an imaginary null-line or timeline.
The travelling wave shown above as a single frequency wave, takes the form of a sine wave. The frequency of the wave is determined by how many cycles or oscillations there are in a second. The amplitude of the wave is its maximum displacement on either side of the null-line – the null-line being the 'midpoint' or equilibrium point of the travelling wave and where the poitive and negative phases are in balance or cancelled out altogether.
The null-line is zero, having zero amplitude, and because of this we could say that it is ‘non-existent’ as a tangible line or ray of energy. But something must be holding the peaking and dipping wave of energy together as the wave travels along in space and time? And the answer as to why this line would be ‘non-existent’ to us is because it is 'infinite' and cannot be measured – being right off the scale – which is why it is zero.
The zero-null-line of energy, is really that still-point in the centre of the circle, the cycle as in a torus vortex or indeed a cyclone or tornado – this zero "eye of the storm" at the epiccenter being an expression of the 'void' of eastern mysticism, otherwise known as the Absolute. And for the sake of the travelling wave, this centre is ‘stretched’ and drawn-out, as if in a line of infinite energy. But again, if infinity is being drawn out as if in a line, then it cannot be infinite can it?
It’s not really stretched out as if in a line, that’s just the way we perceive things and “like” to see it. It being ‘stretched out,’ is only how we would understand it from our ‘dimensional’ perspective.
In truth, there is no line. It is imaginary. The only line that exists for us is the peaking and dipping wave that is travelling on and around this imaginary line, tapping it. Only the point exists – the same zero node point that is being tapped – and that point represents the source-centre – the same centre that seeded the universe”.
As regards waves of positive and negative energy, the invisible, zero null-line that these waves seem to be travelling along, is the hidden, ‘neutral, third force – which was the term Gurdjieff used.’
We can also refer to this null-line as a timeline – meaning that it is the timeline for any particular ‘travelling wave’ of energy, as it travels from A to B through time and space. If this ‘line’ has zero measurement, then for the wave of measured energy that travels along it, the null-line represents infinite energy. Therefore the wave is being driven along and guided by this non-existent, invisible line of infinite energy, and goes through it twice every cycle – as if ‘tapping’ the infinite energy found there so as to generate the next half of the cycle. Regarding the creation and recreation of a wave of energy – which is the basic carrier of energy/information, and which makes up all phenomena in our world – it is as if the required amount of energy needed for each cycle of the wave is being measured out from that infinite point passed twice in every cycle.
Again to our senses, there is no extended ‘line’ of infinite energy. In truth all energy is within a non-dimensional, non-local, POINT. In this I mean that there is no such ‘line’ from location A to location B. And there is no wave travelling through time and space. In truth, space and time do not exist: space and time is an illusion being created from this non-dimensional, non-local point of infinite energy.
You see, to really understand this, we must learn to think of energy as information and information as energy. Our perception is that energy flows through space, or is propagated in waves from moment to moment along a linear timeline. We can apply this to ourselves when we move through space and time, walking from location A to location B . . . but what if there really is no location A or B? – Meaning that our external experience of movement, as in changing location and changing time, is really a change in the energy/information patterns that appear to surround us. As mentioned, the wave seems to be travelling from A to B – but really it is going through a circular or cyclical transformation – "a loop.”
Again, every time the wave of energy goes through the zero-node on the null-line or midpoint; it ‘taps’ that energy to make the next half of the cycle. But as we can see, each zero-node is the SAME ZERO-NODE . . . THE SAME VOID.
This means that the wave isn’t really “travelling” anywhere in space and time: the ‘locations in space and time’ that the ‘wave’ seems to be passing through, is just an alteration or transformation in energy which makes up the surrounding information patterns of our sensate reality.
We could refer to this motion of energy as ‘Backaction,’ because even though the energy seems to be moving along a linear path in time and space, the zero being “hit” is the same zero – the same void. The ‘measured-out’ energy from this point is always coming back to the same point, so as to “tap” the infinite energy there.
This means that the wave is cyclical – circular – a self-referential, self-organising, loop of energy.
A subatomic particle is really a tiny loop of energy – a toroid: its energy continually unfolding outward and then folding inward in rapid succession from its centre. The waves of energy that seem to be travelling along a linear path are really the concentric waves of larger loops of energy. And again, we can apply this to ourselves. We are “tapping” the energy from our own centre. This ‘tapping’ of infinite energy, is how one regenerates and recreates the information patterns of the reality one is experiencing. The centre of our consciousness does not move; we do not move, instead we remain in one spot!
In other words, the movement we associate with space and time events is only the slight or drastic changes being made in the unfolding pattern – i.e., the pattern in each cycle, which is divided between mental and material – implicate and explicate energy/information. There is no time, and no location, only a change in the pattern.”
We are always in one place . . . at the centre, but the changing patterns around us – which we could say are the finite projections of energy/information from that ‘superholographic plate,’ our centre, gives us the illusion of space and time.
In truth, we – or our consciousness rather – is always in the ETERNAL PRESENT. As we know we find it extremely difficult to capture the present even though we are living it all the time. The moment we try to capture that instant of NOW! . . It has passed.
The reason why we cannot capture the infinite energy of the ‘eternal present’ is because it lies hidden, behind our unconscious – and so we have named it the ‘Unconscious.’ Again, we are unconscious at this point in the cycles. Of course we do not notice that we are unconscious so many time a second, and so we could say that our consciousness kind of ‘wallpapers’ over the zero-node ‘joins’ in our surrounding reality, which is why we do not really notice this zero anywhere – only acknowledging these things as in, “Oh yes! There are ‘nodes’ in standing waves” – which is now taken for granted and doesn’t really mean anything to us . . . and that’s what’s exciting about this, as no-one has realized this or explained the phenomenon of oscillating waves in this way before, and especially not in terms of consciousness.
At the same time though, we realize that the zero is responsible for all the paradoxes in our world, and this is the reason why many physicists try to ignore infinities when working on a new theory. It’s not nature that “abhors a vacuum,” it is man himself . . . his mind or ego. It is the ego that wants to 'avoid the void'. The ego wants to avoid ‘That,’ which is the True Creator behind its illusory reality, and which has the power to expose the illusion about itself and its world which the ego is trying to dominate and control.
In esoteric literature, this point being tapped is known as the ‘Eternal Return’ – again it is really the ‘Eternal Now’ – and this point of ‘Now,’ is also the ‘Primal Mover’ of all energy. Each of these terms is ancient and they support what I have said.
We can see that the reason why it has been called the ‘Eternal Return,’ because it is the same point being tapped each time, and it is also known as the ‘Primal Mover,’ because this point or this centre, drives all these cycles along. As said, the measured waves of energy are not really going anywhere – as again, the three-dimensional spaces and distances between one thing and another is an illusion. And so like our orbiting earth, the wave of energy is being kept in orbit around that same centre – as if travelling without really moving.”
In essence, this is what the Shaman says he does when he tries to explain how he is able to access other realities.
As said, if all is just information, then it is the information that is changing, and not us moving through a three-dimensional world of real objects. When we see or feel as if we are moving from one location to another, we are not really moving at all. Although it seems as if we are definitely moving through time and space, our senses deceive us . . . it is really just the information that is altering or changing within our own consciousness – and seeing as our surrounding reality is made-up of our own energy, then this is what we will sense and experience.
And we would suppose that one becomes aware of this during altered states of consciousness – which is what the shaman does. He accesses the trance state, or hypnagogic state so as to "travel without moving" from one reality to another.
And if the reader has ever played one of those computer-generated 3D games, then he or she would understand what I am saying.
When we move, it is really just the information that is altering or changing slightly, as what we would see on our computer monitor when we move through a 3D computer-generated environment. And as regards computer games, all the information pertaining to that ‘virtual reality’ or ‘virtual world’ we have interacted with, is stored on a flat, round, CD-Rom disc – a good analogy for the cycling, cyclone of patterns we have stored in our own programme.
The programme is our hard-disc, and our own internal dialogue is what is being played in RAM . . . as in Random Access Memory. This goes to show that nothing really exists as something in itself – the only true thing that exists is the energy and information from which everything is being created.
Now we will bring our attention back to the wave diagram shown above.
As we can see, waves also oscillate through a series of peaks and dips. Each cycle is divided in two; each cycle expressing both a positive and a negative half. In a ‘travelling wave, the two points in the cycle where we become unconscious are the ‘nodes’ where the wave function changes from positive to negative, and from negative to positive. In other words, the zero-node is the point where the positive and the negative waves cross the equilibrium point or mid-point of the wave (the zero null-line) thereby creating a “blip” where both the positive and negative are momentary cancelled out!
That “blip” is where and when we are unconscious in the cycles, and all cycles show this and reflect it. This is what divides one thing from another. I would say that from the subquantum level upwards, it is our unconsciousness – those ‘blips’ of unconsciousness in each cycle that is dividing the ONE energy into many different fragments and also into different quanta – i.e., different rates of frequencies.
It is our being unconscious of our own centre – i.e., consciousness becoming unconscious of itself – which divides and cuts-up the One Energy into fragments and why everything in our world is divided and separated by time and space.

Earth's Lines of Force
Figure 2 is a popular, though imaginative drawing of what these lines on the Earth would look like.
It is now acknowledged that many old buildings and structures were built upon ancient sacred sites so it’s not surprising that important buildings like temples, abbeys, churches and castles are linked together in fairly straight lines; revealing a vast, underlying, energy network that was known about by our distant ancestors. It were they who had made this ‘energy grid’ visible by the megalithic temples, menhirs and stone circles they constructed. These were carefully placed at certain ‘power points’ on the Earth, so as to stimulate the flow of energy throughout the energy grid so that people who knew about these forces and the major convergence points could perhaps tap the power of the earth.
Figure 3: Chinese Acupuncture Chart. Taken from Acupuncture, Marc Duke. (Pyramid House New York, 1972, p. 127.)
The strange looking creature above is not an “alien” it is a Chinese acupuncture chart, showing the energy meridians of yin (negative, feminine) and yang (positive, masculine) as well as the power points that contain C’hi energy (neutral.) Acupuncture needles are placed at these power points to stimulate the flow of the C’hi energy, bringing harmony and balance to the individual.
The ancient Chinese understood that the body of the Earth has similar meridian lines – again, called ‘Dragon Paths.’ The Chinese understood that energy is divided in two, between the white yang (“tiger in the high mountains”) and the yin (“blue dragon in the low hills and valleys.”) They also understood that where the two lung mei (“two breaths of C’hi”) meet and cross each other, there is a neutral power-point containing the infinite energy of C’hi in its pure, undivided state.
These lines of force, which seem to be part of the Earth’s ‘energy matrix,’ are usually undetectable by our normal senses. However, a gifted dowser can trace these lines of force by use of a dowsing rod or even a simple pendulum – and this is something we will come back to later.
Like the acupuncture needles that stimulate the flow of pure consciousness energy throughout the body (carried by these energy meridians) our ancestors, erected stone menhirs so as to energise, harmonise and distribute this potent energy throughout the landscape; ensuring good harvests and a better quality of life brought about by the balance of these two forces.
By using a simple dowsing rod, Broadhurst and Miller discovered that the ancient Chinese were correct: all Ley lines are enveloped by the Earth’s positive and negative lines of force which weave in and out of these straight, neutral, Ley-line axes – crossing each other at certain points along it. (See Figure 4, ‘A’ taken from the book The Dance of the Dragon.)
Here the authors show us how the male and female currents of ‘earth energy’ “zigzag” the landscape; crossing each other at certain points along each ley line. (The ley is marked as the straight line.)
(A) Figure 4: (B)
Earth's Lines of Force Caduceus
From The Sun and the Serpent. Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller. (Pendragon Press. 1989.)
As already acknowledged by the authors, these positive and negative lines of force look just like the two serpents of the Caduceus; an ancient esoteric symbol that symbolises the Kundalini energy in Man – now a symbol of the Medical Profession. (Figure 4, B.) The central pole or axis of the Caduceus would represent the straight ley-line which is being encircled by the two opposite Earth energies represented in the Caduceus by the two spiralling snakes or serpents – again, one being positive, the other negative. And again we can see that the Caduceus is really showing us how energy can be trapped within the spiralling, cycling movement of a ‘standing wave.’
The illustration below (Figure 5) is known as Snakes among the Hills and is from one of the most famous of all Alchemical books, titled, Book of Abraham the Jew – purported to have been discovered by the legendary alchemist, Nicolas Flamel, in the 14th century. It shows the Earth’s landscape littered with snakes or serpents. It’s not difficult to see what the artist was trying to convey: that indeed the Earth’s landscape is literally alive! with “snakes” and “serpents” – which we would now interpret to be twisting, spiralling and snaking lines of positive and negative energy.
Figure 5: Snakes Among the Hills from
The Book of Abraham the Jew. 14th century
As the dowsing of Hamish Miller has shown, these ‘lines of force’ are undoubtedly‘ serpentine’ in the way that they curve inwards and away from the neutral Ley-line which acts like a ‘gravity well;’ always keeping these two serpentine forces fixed to the straight course of the neutral Ley from one extreme point to the other.
So far, both Miller and Broadhurst have finished mapping out only two extended null-lines or ley-lines on the Earth by detecting and following the paths of two sets of the male and female energies that encircle them. These opposite ‘serpent’ energies were named by the authors as “Michael” and “Mary” and “Apollo” and “Athena.” The so-called, Michael-Mary Ley-line Axis runs the width of England, from Lands End in Cornwall, to Hopton in East Anglia (Figure 6.)
Important is the fact that two authors have noted all the Nodes that intersect both these Ley lines – i.e., the points where both the male (positive) and female (negative) energies cross and cancel each other out at zero. These ‘zero-nodes’ will often coincide with the chief localities named on the maps.
Sitting smack-bang on this axis, are the legendary, mystical landmarks, St Michael’s Mount, Glastonbury Tor, Avebury, (known as the ‘Serpent Temple’ – for reasons which we will be looking at later,) also Ogbourne St George and Bury St Edmunds.
Figure 6: The Michael-Mary Axis. Illustration from The Sun and the Serpent. Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller.
The words, “On” “Ong,” and “Og” are names that are often used in reference to the so-called ‘Sacred Mount’ or ‘World Mountain’ of indigenous origin; an archetype, which symbolises the up-welling vortex. The Vortex is the closest that Man can come to in his imagination as regards a model or picture of consciousness, and so the mountain is a metaphor for the upwelling vortex that can be climbed and whose peak and centre is the ultimate state of consciousness. The Hindus call it Mount Kailas; the Buddhists call it ‘Mount Meru,’ which is said to reside in the centre of the mythical place in Tibet known as ‘Shambhala,’ or ‘Shangri-la.’ The ancient Norse knew it as Asgard. The ancient Greeks called it Mount Olympus. Mount Zion is the Hebrews sacred mount and the Japanese have Mount Fuji. As mentioned earlier, the Great Pyramid was built around this ancient concept of the ‘sacred mount’ or ‘world mountain’ as were the Mesopotamian Ziggurats, and the famous Tower of Babel – something else we will look at later.
The Tibetan Shamanic tradition known as the Bons or Bon-Po, know Shambhala as Olmolungring. Again, the abbreviated form of this name is “Ong,” “Og,” “Oz” or “Os.”
Ong was also the name used to describe a conical hat – which in fairy and mythological lore is the hat often worn by wizards and witches. Of course, the traditional “Dunce’s Cap,” is a similar conical hat, and in earlier times was used to bring more brainpower to the wearer. This is because the conical hat, which has also been worn by priests and kings of various ancient cultures, symbolises the Crown Chakra vortex, which in tradition, has as its centre – the bindu (being the Centre of one’s consciousness) – located several inches above the head. The capstone of the Great Pyramid also represents the bindu and this is a connection we will be looking at in more depth later.
In addition, ‘Os’ or ‘Oz’ are words which are used in reference to the apex of the mount, and the centre of the vortex – being the Supreme Centre.
Looking into the etymology of these words, I discovered that they are ancient names meaning ‘God’ The Egyptian God Osiris has the syllable ‘Os’ at the beginning of his name – meaning Centre. The word iris is now used to depict the coloured part of the eye, and so in esoteric terms the iris would represent the vortex that surrounds the centre – the pupil – being the calm eye of the cyclone or vortex . . . the ‘eye of the storm.’ Logically this would mean that the nodal centres on the Earth are associated with the ‘Godhead’ – meaning that they are “windows” or “doorways” into the Infinite . . . the Creator or Absolute.
Like the Hypnagogic State in consciousness, strange things have been reported in the vicinity of these sacred places that are positioned along the Ley – i.e., visionary experiences and the like. This is not surprising, as these sites all encompass these zero-point nodes which one could say are like reservoirs; centres of infinite, limitless energy within the landscape: in other words, our finite reality is “pockmarked” with the Infinite.
Figure 7: The Fool from the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck
Figure 7 shows The Fool – card 0 (zero) – from the popular Rider-Waite Tarot deck.
The reader may have already noticed the almost synchronous similarities between this card and the map of the Michael-Mary Axis (Figure 5.) The designer of the Rider-Waite Tarot was Arthur Edward Waite (1857-1942) – thought to be one of the most important compilers and interpreters of the Western Occult Tradition. In 1881, Waite became a member of the Golden Dawn. Regarded as a great scholar of divination, Waite decided to invent a new deck of Tarot cards based on his own personal esoteric studies. He commissioned graphic artist, Pamela Colman Smith to produce the artworks to his design. The result is so full of symbolic meaning that the Rider-Waite Tarot is now considered to be one of the greatest esoteric accomplishments. One has to ask: from all his research into the esoteric traditions, did A. E. Waite re-discover the ancient knowledge pertaining to this particular Ley-line axis that extends from one end of England to the other? And if so, did he encode the secret knowledge of this Ley-line in the Fool card? It would seem that the precipice that the Fool is walking towards could easily be interpreted to be the rocky cliffs of Land’s End in Cornwall, England.
Amongst other things, which we will come to later, the stick or staff that the Fool holds over his right shoulder seems to symbolise the Ley-line that runs from Land’s End in Cornwall to Hopton in East Anglia and is almost at the same angle. This interpretation is accentuated further by the image of the Sun which is positioned at the top end of the staff. This image reveals that the rising of the Sun takes place in Hopton, East Anglia and exactly on that Ley-line every year at dawn on Beltane, May 1st. If we look closely we can see that the Fool’s arm, which is holding the stick, and the red feather that extends from his head, both make an ‘S’ shape. This is a clever allusion to the serpentine energies that flow 'in' and 'out' along the line in a winding, spiralling ‘S’ shape – again we see this in the Caduceus and wave phenomena. If none of the above was intended by Waite when he designed the cards, then this is surely a remarkable synchronicity. And if so, then this shows that at a deep level, our own consciousness has already made these connections. These connections will then re-surface in all sorts of ways – and this particular card is a good example.
Nodes and Convergence Points
The Apollo-Athena ley-line axis runs through Europe to the Middle East, from Skellig Michael, Ireland, to Armageddon in Israel. (Figure 8.) St Michael’s Mount is also on this line, and is considered a key centre or major ‘coordination point’ as both axes and their two energies cross each other right in the centre of the ancient Monastery on top of the Mount.
Unfortunately because of the large scale of these maps, they do not show the Earth’s positive and negative lines of force that weave in and out of the neutral ley-line that extends from one extreme point to the other on both diagrams.
The well-documented dowsing activities of these two men is evidence that these ‘lines of force’ do in fact exist. Again, an example of how these energies cross the null line at certain points along it can be seen in Figure 4, (A.)
The two men discovered that these zero-point nodes, which were once sacred pagan sites, were often marked by a barrow, earth-mound, stone circle, temple, shrine, church, abbey or cathedral.
Most significant is that an altar stone or font will often mark the location of these nodes – evidence that our distant ancestors were well aware of these ‘lines of force’ and their energy centres.
The fabric of our reality – i.e., its ‘energy matrix,’ seems to be knotted together by these nodal points – also ‘Sunya’ or ‘Laya’ centres. If so, then we could say that the overall pattern of our reality is being regenerated, recharged and sustained at these Power points – each node or centre acting like a neutral “window” or “doorway” through several dimensions – linking together these dimensions and their realities and everything they contain. Following is a quote from Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller.
‘We had come to call these crossing points Nodes and found that they were quite rare. Where they occurred were always places of great antiquity and spiritual significance. When meditating at these places we had found they were portals into other dimensions. Perhaps they were focal points where these dimensions crossed over, and refined spiritual forces combined with those of the Earth.’
‘It had often occurred to us that these observations had strong parallels with the analogy of a nervous system, with the nodes operating as ganglia or nerve centres. Were we really studying the nervous system of the planet?’ [1]
The authors also discovered that the nodes where the male and female energies cross are really vortices: some have “star” or “petal-like” patterns of energy surrounding them which resemble an unfolding flower (Figure 9.)
Figure 9: The pattern of energyaround a node.
From Dance of the Dragon by Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller (Pendragon Press, 2000)
Like the ‘lines of force,’ that converge at these points, the energy patterns that surround these nodes are not usually detected by the normal senses, but again, their energy patterns can be determined and mapped by a gifted dowser. Broadhurst and Miller found that the outer edge of these flower-like vortices of energy can extend to 12 feet, with smaller versions of the same pattern within it, as shown in the drawing on the right.
These petal-like energy patterns remind us of the mystical depictions of the seven Chakra vortices that are said to align the human spinal column as well as the Mandalas and three-dimensional Mandalas as featured in the article Sunya. See here: Chakras are said to be vortices of swirling energy that knot the spiritual body to the physical and so they could be described as "doorways" or portals between this world and the next or indeed other dimensions or levels of existence.
In the East the Chakras are usually portrayed as Lotus flowers (Figure 10, A) And although it has not been acknowledged as yet - even by today's scholars - in Ancient Egyptian art, the Lotus or Lilly also signified the chakra vortex, as the two examples in B and C reveal. The 7, 8, or 9 levelled chakra system by which one reaches enlightenment via the 'energy phenomenon' known as Kundalini (Hindu) was naturally associated with the gods - especially the highest chakra, which was associated with reaching Nirvana - being 'Heaven' or the 'otherworld', and so according to this belief it was natural to place the god or gods inside at the center and/or indeed standing or sitting upon the Lotus (chakra). Again, the chakras are to be seen as 'doorways' between this world and the next (the abode of the gods), and it was believed that the gods entered and exited our world through them, and we should remember that the chakra - although it consists of both positive and negative energy, its center - the "eye of the storm" - is neutral . . . zero. We see here both Hindu and ancient Egyptian gods on top and inside the Lotus (chakra) - providing evidence that the Ancient Egyptians possessed the same knowledge about the internal Kundalini processes as did Hindus.
A B C
Note that in picture C, Horus is placing a finger on his lips, signifying that he knows a great secret ("great Secret of Life") that he cannot divulge, and ironically this has proven effective in regard to the Egyptologists who have not yet identified this 'great secret', and if told by those who know, would not even accept it. If the AE scholars were just to cross-reference the symbolism of both the ancient Hindu and Egyptian cultures, perhaps these connections would at last be noted and acknowledged. And then again, one has to have had this rare experience to identify the references to it in the first place.
I would emphasise that this experience is universal, experienced by people all over the world and throughout history and therefore it is a phenomenon that would have also been experienced by certain individuals in ancient Egypt.
Again, ‘Kundalini’ is the ancient Hindu Sanskrit name given to this experience and, so any mention of Kundalini and the chakra system within the context of ancient Egyptian history would indeed invite a negative knee-jerk reaction from many Egyptologists and orthodox thinkers who would assert that I am making a connection between Hindu and Egyptian mysticism where and when no such connection exists. Such people would add for example, that the ancient Egyptians had no conception of the “Hindu chakras” – as if the chakras exist for the Hindus only and because it were they who gave the ancient Sanskrit name ‘chakra’ to these energy vortices – that although they cannot be detected by the normal senses, all traditions around the world have symbolised in many different ways. Many of us overlook the fact that this experience is universal despite whatever name is given to it, as it has its origin in the more ancient shamanic experience which is global. Of course the ancient Egyptians had knowledge of the chakra centres in the body, but like other peoples they symbolised them in their own way. It is also a fact that many mainstream historians and skeptical materialists are not in a position to argue this as the majority have no clear understanding of this rare experience and so they would not be able to recognise it in the distinctive symbology of the different cultures.
Their objections that experiencers who recognise it are misinterpreting AE symbolism is therefore a non-sequitor, as the symbolism was based on these experiences.
Such people do us all a great disservice and block our greater understanding by repeatedly rejecting these evident connections on the grounds that if true, then the scholars and particularly, the Egyptologists would have already known about them. Again, in general population terms such experiences are rare, but the priesthoods and ruling elite of these ancient peoples would have known about this experience – hence the profuse ‘serpent’ symbolism, which is universal.
As for the ancient Egyptians, it was the Kundalini phenomenon that gave the pharaoh his power and this is evident in the Uraeus (snake) worn on the brow that protected the pharaoh by spitting fire – “liquid fire” – much like the mythical dragon.
Following are a couple of quotes from a 15th century esoteric treatise entitled Le Comte de Gabalis:
“After passing through the centres of the sympathetic nervous system, the positive and negative currents of the Solar Force meet in the forehead where, as it were, their balance registers; so that at this degree of evolution the initiate can sense whether the balance is perfect or whether positive or negative current predominates. This power to sense and govern the currents is here called the double bridle of Leviathon. And the adept Kings of Egypt bore upon their foreheads the Uraeus, or Sacred Serpent emblem of this bridle, to signify that they achieved this power.” [2]
The Uraeus personified the power of Ra or Re, the creator god who himself personified the energy we call ‘Light’ and represented the source-centre of creation. Therefore the pharaoh was protected by the powerful spiritual energy of light (“fire”) that one experiences during Kundalini enlightenment. Sometimes the Uraeus is depicted surrounding the sun disk like an Ouroborus – the snake that swallows its own tail, conveying the message that all creation is cyclical – as in recreation.
It is said that the increasing number of petals ascribed to each ascending Chakra, from the base of the spine to the top of the head, indicates the respective vibration frequency of each Chakra. The highest Chakra centre – which is said to be located above the head – is depicted as having a thousand petals – which of course brings us back to the ‘Kundalini Awakening,’ which is one’s experience of all seven of these Chakra centres in the body being activated at once by one’s consciousness having reached this highest centre – the Source of one’s life-force energy and one’s being and existence.
Figure 11 (below) gives us a fairly good picture of the Chakra centres that align the spinal column – known as the Staff of Brahma. Also shown are the positive (male) and negative (female) nerve meridians known in the Hindu tradition as the nadis (Sanskrit) that weave in and out of the central nerve channel.
Figure 11: The Human Physio-Kundalini-Chakra System. (Diagram by Gary Osborn)
Using Hindu terminology, the male nerve channel is known as the Pingala, and the female nerve channel, the Ida. The central nerve channel is neutral and is called the Sushumna, which when the whole system is activated during a ‘Kundalini Awakening,’ acts like a superconductor; carrying the energy upwards to the highest centre known as the Bindu – again, located just above the head. Now compare this illustration of the human chakra system with the landscape in Figure 4, (A,) and the Caduceus in Figure 4, (B.)
“ . . . the exact place where the currents crossed seemed to create a vortex of energy that made the spine tingle.” [3]
As mentioned, each Chakra, like any node on the Earth’s landscape, is a vortex – and like any subatomic entity – it is a spherical cyclone of standing waves consisting of incoming and outgoing energy. As mentioned, we could think of such vortices as simultaneous blackhole/whiteholes – where energy is being drawn inwards and at the same time projected outwards.
Figure 12: Smoke Ring Torus. Arrows show direction of Rotation
The Torus Vortex
To remind ourselves, a Torus is a doughnut-shaped vortex of energy which is constantly turning itself inside out – just like a rotating smoke ring (Figure 12). The Torus is flexible and can shape itself like a ring or a sphere.
Below is a diagram showing the various shapes of a Torus Vortex with cross-sections.
Figure 13: Different versions of theTorus Vortex
As mentioned earlier, there is now a great deal of scientific and metaphysical information available to indicate that the Torus is the best model we have for attempting to understand the primal structure of the universe. What we are looking at is really the principal shape of consciousness itself – it being a spherical vortex of energy; a self-organising and self-sustaining sphere of energy – the centre of course, being the Source of its energy. Below is the same drawing of a Torus as seen from above or below.
Figure 14: Torus as seen from above or below
As we can see, the energy waves of the Torus still give us the familiar leaf-like patterns we see in the Lotus-style Chakras. The leaf patterns are due to the Torus being made up of many Lemniscate paths of energy as we see in a magnetic field (Figure 15 B.) We find the Lemniscate in the cross-section of the Torus – especially the Horn Torus (Figure 13.) Again, the Lemniscate is better known as the ‘Infinity Symbol’ – with the zero point of infinity at its centre – a Node.
Figure 15: Lemniscate and a Torus vortex made up of many lemniscates
Although the Chakras are depicted in many ways and are mostly symbolic in form – as we find in Eastern Lotus depictions – the Torus gives us a better idea of the exchange of energy that goes on within, and around the Chakras, as well as the Chakra-like centres that also exist within the Earth’s energy grid and which gifted dowsers like Hamish Miller have found on the landscape – especially at well-known sacred locations. The leaf-patterns traced by Hamish Miller at the location of these nodes of infinite energy, indicate that they are really lemniscate or Torus-shaped, electro-magnetic vortices, as are the Chakras in the human system.
Looking back at Figure 11, we notice the nerve channels crossing on either side of the Chakra centres, as well as going through them.
It is true that the many Eastern illustrations that show the Chakra system, often show these nerve channels running around the Chakras – rarely through them. But it is known that these nerve channels also run through the centre of the chakras as Figure 16 below shows.
This is an illustration taken from a book called The Elements of the Chakras by Naomi Ozaniec. (Element Books 1990.) This illustration, which can be found on page 12 of the book, shows the two routes taken by these nerve channels. If we were to think of these nerve channels as oscillating or vibrating channels of energy – much like what we see happening in a ‘Standing Wave’ – or for example, the ghostly images of a vibrating guitar string – then we can imagine these opposite energies spiralling rapidly: alternating between going around the Chakras one moment and then through them the next.
Figure 16: Energy going through and around the Chakra centres.
Taken from The Elements of the Chakras by Naomi Ozaniec. (Element Books 1990)
After my own Kundalini experience, I had the insight that these opposite lines of energy are forever alternating one way, (around the Chakras,) and then the other, (through the centres of the Chakras,) and that this life-giving energy is also alternating up and down the body through these two nerve channels which cannot be seen nor detected by ordinary human senses. My own insights were supported some years later by what we saw in Naomi Ozaniec’s book.
Now this movement of energy is happening within the body all the time. The energy being separated in two – i.e., positive and negative – is alternating up and down through the Ida and Pingala nerve channels – each of which represent one of the opposites.
However a ‘Kundalini Awakening’ means that one has become consciously aware of all this movement along the spinal axis and can feel the oscillations accelerating faster and faster the more one becomes aware of this movement and as one’s separated part of consciousness – i.e., one’s mind – merges with it.
The oscillations become so rapid that it seems as if all this oscillating movement has ceased. In fact what has happened is that as one’s energy accelerates in frequency, the two halves of one’s consciousness become fused together again and also reduces down to a pinpoint. In other words, one’s divided energy has become as One again within the centre of the Chakra level that one’s consciousness has been working from.
Having been gathered within the centre of the Chakra, the energy is therefore centred within the Sushumna – the central nerve channel, which acts like a superconductor for one’s energy. The energy then quickly climbs up the spinal column through the Sushumna and through each of the ascending chakras – ideally to the highest centre if the ‘awakening’ be intense enough.
This Oneness is illustrated by the Hindu and Egyptian god or gods (Figure 10) who rests within the Centre of the highest Chakra. During the climax of the ‘Kundalini Awakening,’ whereby one’s energies are gathered together at a point within oneself – a point beyond space and time – one does indeed become as a ‘god’ . . . one is Superconscious and has the ability to warp space and time and “leap” from one reality to another.
This experience also signifies a ‘change’ or ‘transformation’ in the individual to a new level of consciousness.
For our ancestors this ‘transformation’ was also expressed at the macrocosmic level – i.e., a significant moment in the annual cycle of the Earth. In Britain, this special time of the year was the Sabbath known as Beltane – otherwise known as ‘Mayday.’
Now going back to the Ley-line which extends across southern England: (Figure 7) what is particularly interesting about this picture is the symbol of the Sun – showing the point where it rises in England on Mayday – (May 1st.)
If we compare this picture with the Caduceus, in Figure 4 B, we can see that the null-line which extends from Lands End to East Anglia is like the central axis of the Caduceus, which in turn represents the central nerve channel, the sushumna.
The Sun icon in the diagram – which could also be interpreted as a simple drawing of a flower or Lotus – is positioned like the orb at the top of the Caduceu - the inner sun.
For some, the striking similarities between this Ley-line diagram and the Caduceus is no mere coincidence, as the microcosmic workings of our own inner consciousness seem to be mirrored in the macrocosmic phenomena of the external world. The orb above the Caduceus symbolises the Source or Centre of one’s consciousness known as the ‘Inner Sun,’ being the Void or bindu. Again, the Chakra-centres aligned along the human axis are not unlike the zero-point nodes on the Earth, where the positive and negative lines of force cross each other.
As a brief note of interest, these flower-like pattern of energy at these nodes and at the point where these opposite energies CROSS each other as in figure 9, is the true meaning behind the symbol of a rose at the centre of a Christian Cross – a Rosicrucian symbol known as the Rose Croix (Figure 17.)
Figure 17. Rose Croix - symbol of the Rosicrucian movement
As I discovered, the Rose Croix also represents the Ecliptic Cross as expressed in the design of the Great Pyramid – the rose representing the enlightened mind or consciousness of the individual in the King’s Chamber who through the hypnagogic trance state – has accessed the Bindu-chakra centre located above the head – the rose being another symbol for the Lotus-style Chakra. This fusion in consciousness is replicated in the fusion of energies at these nodes in the energy-grid landscape of the Earth.
It has been said; that when the Sun first appeared on the horizon at dawn on May 1st (Beltane,) our ancestors would light a fire or beacon at each of the sacred sites (nodes) on the ley-line. Going by what has already been revealed in this article, we can see this ritual as symbolising the activation of all the Chakras aligned along the spinal axis in the human system, initiated by the enlightenment of a ‘Kundalini Awakening’ which transforms one’s consciousness to a new level of understanding. The ritual was seen as the ‘transformation’ from the old to the new – the new year and therefore a new pattern . . . rebirth.
The Sun positioned above the head of The Fool, (Figure 7) as he holds his head back, also symbolises the Bindu, (centre of the seventh Chakra) – which in Eastern esoteric traditions, is again, said to be located just above the head. The zero above the head and positioned above the spine of the Fool also symbolises the bindu centre, as the bindu is described as the zero-point void. It is well known in some Mystery Schools that the staff The Fool carries on his shoulder, symbolises the human spinal axis and – as we see it also has another meaning in that it also represents the Axis Mundi – i.e., the Earth’s axis – which is tilted and was once pointing towards the star Constellation of Draco or Draconis – the Dragon or Serpent – another reason why the ‘S’ shape is expressed in the feather of the cap and the Fool’s arm as he holds the staff.
‘The Fool’ of the Tarot, is also Osiris who took a fall (the “fall of man,” again, perhaps due to the tilt of the axis) by being murdered by his brother Set who is considered to be the Egyptian 'Satan' or Serpent associated with the constellation of Draco. Osiris also represents the star Constellation of Orion – the faithful hunting dog that follows him being the ‘dog star’ Sirius – also associated with Isis and the Constellation of Canis Major. As we will see, these correspondences are highly significant to my later investigations of what went on in the Great Pyramid, and in other parts of this work, I will give more of an in-depth study of the themes given briefly in this Chapter. For now; my purpose here is to show how this microcosmic system – the human chakra system – corresponds to the macrocosmic system – i.e., the energy grid of the Earth (Again, see Figure 2).
Especially significant here, is the connection between the Chakra centres in the body with that of the ‘zero-point nodes’ on the Earth.
Figure 18. Study of Praying Hands by Albrecht Durer. 1508.
Synchronisation and Fusion
Going back to Figure 2, we can see these centres as the major and minor convergence points in the grid – which is anywhere on the globe where these lines of force cross each other. We have already seen that all elementary particles are really tiny vortices of energy brought about by the criss-crossing of ‘oppositely charged’ high-frequency waves and their convergence at certain points within the energy grid of our reality.
As said earlier, these ‘convergence points’ within the energy matrix of the Earth, as regards the macrocosmic scale, were once sacred pagan sites and these points are often marked by a Temple, Church, Abbey or Cathedral.
And again, most significant is that an altar stone or font will often mark the location of these macrocosmic zero-point nodes. Taking this into account, we can see that like the two energies or forces that come together at these nodal points – often marked by an altar stone – a male and female couple will often be married at the altar of a church. The marriage ritual – also a metaphor used in Alchemy – symbolises the occult significance of the union of these two energies.
The word ‘altar’ is synonymous with the word ‘alter’ – meaning to change or transform. If an individual wishes to alter or transform the patterns of oneself and one’s reality, then it would be at the location of these points that one would meditate on the negation of one’s opposite energies so as to reach that infinite Source within, as the energy is also infinite at the location of these external points. This was the belief, and it is at these points, that one’s creative potential will intensify whereby one’s desires will manifest much more quickly – but one should be careful what one wishes for.
Moreover, a person bringing both hands together as in prayer (see figure 17) so as to initiate the outcome of a desire – and often inside a church built on one of these nodes – also symbolises this union of the male and female polarities represented by the right and left sides of the body respectively. When a couple get married, they get married at the altar of the church and like the central sushumna of the spine, the couple will walk to the altar within the central aisle in-between the two rows of guests made up of males and females.
The left and right hemispheres of the brain also correspond with the positive and negative energies. We can envision one’s thoughts, as if swinging like a pendulum between them; creating ‘lines of information’ out of the brain’s “communication cables,” known as dendrites – which are not unlike the ley-lines that grid the earth – connecting one thing with another. In this way the energy of the mind is divided and oscillates in an ‘alternating current’ fashion – divided as it is between the so-called “conscious-self” (left-hemisphere) and the “subconscious” (right-hemisphere.)
But it is the synthesis between the energies of the left and right hemispheres, and between the conscious and the subconscious, which can propel our mind into an altered state of consciousness akin to the perception of seeing things as if from another dimension. Our sphere of consciousness and everything it contains is then pulled into its own Centre like a node on the Earth’s landscape.
This synthesis, or fusion of consciousness down to a point – which has its climax in the enlightenment experience known as a ‘Kundalini Awakening’ – then allows us to synchronise many different “things” into a meaningful whole – “things,” which before the experience, were always seen as separated in time and space and seen as having nothing in common with each other whatsoever. It is as if during this ‘awakening,’ one’s consciousness has become the primal atom or seed centre of the universe, where everything in the cosmos is contained at one point just before the “big-bang.” As one’s consciousness falls into division again – and so fragments itself into energy/information patterns, so as to create the sphere of one’s reality – one will then experience this “Big-Bang” as the bright-white flash of energy that seems to radiate outwards and everywhere from the centre of the head.
Again this ancient people who designed and built the Great Pyramid and other sacred sites around the world – and from which all our esoteric knowledge has its origin – understood that consciousness is oscillating and going though a projection (fission) and retraction (fusion) process all the time. But within this cycle, and at the point of fusion, we are usually unconscious. There are moments though, when we will remain conscious at this ‘fusion point’ and this will trigger a small evolutionary leap in consciousness.
Because of the brief and transient nature of these ‘fusions’ in consciousness, (which happen more times than we realise) most of the time we will not notice them – unless of course we have a full-blown ‘Kundalini Awakening,’ which is the ultimate fusion experience. Although we are not aware of these momentary fusions in consciousness, we will experience the effects . . .
I have already outlined in other articles on this website, how the hypnagogic state is the key to understanding all our paranormal and mystical experiences and this is because it is the precursory experience that leads-up to the superconscious awakened state of the Kundalini enlightenment. The closer we are to ‘consciously’ accessing the ‘Eternal Now,’ then the more intense will be our paranormal or mystical experiences. What we call In-sight; in-tuition and in-spiration are also the result of this brief conscious synthesis or fusion in consciousness – although these experiences are the milder effects of this fusion.
'Time-slip' or 'Time-storm' experiences, in which the events pertaining to two different times are seen to coincide or be superimposed on each other, and which in their separation can also produce ‘spatial’ effects, such as location slips – from one location to another – sometimes miles away – are also due to this fusion in consciousness.
Paranormal and mystical experiences, whereby two or more realities or dimensions are seen to overlap and coincide, and in which strange encounters with supernatural beings are experienced, is also due to this fusion. This fusion in consciousness will often accompany these experiences, known as the ‘Oz Factor’ – a term coined by paranormal investigator and writer, Jenny Randles. Here we have the “Oz” or “Os” syllable again.
ESP, (Extra-Sensory-Perception) whereby information pertaining to events that are separated by time and space can be received by the mind and connected together within the mind is also due to this fusion in consciousness.
And again, in a milder way, the answer as to what triggers our experiences of “coincidences” and ‘synchronicities,’ are also due to this fusion.
Identical information played out in very different circumstances and which happen so close to each other in time that any thoughts about their manifesting from ‘random chance’ is rejected – are really fused as One at the ultimate level – i.e., the Centre of what some of us would call, our ‘Collective Consciousness.’
At the point of fusion, this information and the events in which they are “played out” as it were, are perceived all at once. However, this experience is forgotten the moment our consciousness falls into division again. And I would emphasise again, that although we may not remember this fusion experience, we will experience its effects . . .
As our consciousness falls into division again and resumes its usual “pendulum swing” between its opposites, the line of our subsequent thoughts will again create the illusion of time in which the information pertaining to these events and the events themselves – although closer in time – will still be sequentially separated between ‘A’ and ‘B.’
Although we may not be aware of the fusion in consciousness that triggered these events, we are aware that these events – which are the effects of this brief fusion in consciousness – are related by their similar information content, which – if we are sensitive enough – may then lead us to their deeper meaning as regards our experience of them. The deeper meaning is what they mean to us and where they are leading us as regards our personal evolution. It may be, that one of the objectives of this evolution is that we realise the above concerning this ‘fusion point’ in our consciousness from which everything is being created.
Most people believe that psychics are using the right side of the brain. I say this is wrong and shows that we are still caught by our ‘dual perception’ that offers explanations based on either one thing or another, but never both at the same time. I feel that it is the synthesis or fusion of the two sides of our dual nature, which brings on psychic activity in the individual and therefore paranormal and mystical phenomena is the result of a synchronisation in frequencies taking place between the two sides of the brain.
This fusion or synchronisation also manifests the genius in us, and ignites the rare ‘flashes of insight’ that help us see the connections between things – which before, were seen as divided, unconnected, distant and as separate as our consciousness was before the fusion - hence duality and our reality made up of opposites. Again, each insight is a quantum leap of evolution in the consciousness of an individual.
The paradoxes associated with quantum physics, i.e., its particle/wave duality stems from our divided consciousness and the resulting dual-perception which is necessary for one’s experience of reality. Left-brain dominance gives a person a perception which favours the objective side of reality and all things associated – in other words, the ‘physical.’ Those of us who are left-brain dominant, are generally Materialistic because the left side accounts for the ‘particle’ side of things.
Right-brain dominance gives a person a perception which favours the subjective side to our reality and all things associated – being the realm of the ‘mind.’ Those of us who are right-brain dominant are usually quite abstract in our expression and are often dreamy, religious, and spiritual. The right side of the brain accounts for the ‘wave’ side of things.
It is well known that the right hemisphere of the brain (feminine principle) controls the left half of the body, and the left hemisphere of the brain (masculine principle) controls the right side. Again the synthesis or fusion of both is necessary for one to experience paranormal or mystical phenomena. This means that what we call “psychic,” “paranormal” or “mystical” experiences – in which we are able to pick up other information, perform psychokinetic phenomena, or sense, or experience another world or dimension altogether – seems to be triggered by one’s own synthesised consciousness – i.e., the two opposite energies in balance or indeed neutralised by being fused together – and more-so if we are at the location of one of these neutral, zero-node areas on the Earth.
However, before one can experience or trigger the dramatic warping effect in consciousness which produces paranormal or mystical phenomena, again, one’s centre of consciousness must be synchronised with the same centre on the landscape – as in, “the King and the Land are One” from the Arthurian legends. If one can access that Source within, then one also accesses the Centre of the reality matrix, which is represented by one of these nodal power points. One’s consciousness and the surrounding reality become as One energy and so the individual is in a position to alter its patterns and change it – however slightly.
Often these transformations will happen spontaneously, when an individual happens to be in a relaxed and open state of mind: the individual, not aware of actually having “rent the veil” that divides our world from others, will interpret these chaotic transformations in the patterns as a paranormal or mystical experience.
As mentioned, these ‘Lines of Force’ were mapped out by Hamish Miller and Paul Broadhurst using the dowsing method – and as if to confirm all of the above, the dowser actually uses the same synchronising principle in consciousness to find and map these Meridian lines. The word ‘Divining’ is a close synonym of the word ‘Dowsing’ and this gives us a clue as to the state of consciousness one is in while dowsing. Divining comes from the word divinus meaning "of God,” “of the gods,” “by the gods” or “for the gods” – also, “inspired by the gods." The success of dowsing or ‘divining’ rests on a divine state of mind – i.e., one’s mind being Centred.
Dowsing rods come in various designs: A popular one is the forked twig, which is shaped like the letter ‘Y.’ The dowser holds the two forks – one in each hand as in Figure 18.
Figure 18: Holding the 'Y' Dowsing Rod
The two forks of the twig held one in each hand symbolise the synchronisation of the two hemispheres of the brain and may even stimulate this synchronisation. The single branch where the two forks of the stick join together represents Neutral and this is held outwards before the dowser. When a line of force is encountered, the forked twig will often give a violent jerk and will be magnetically pulled downwards or pushed upwards by the force of the meridian – especially at the nodal points where the two energies cross.
Interesting is the fact that the letter ‘Y’ also symbolises the Androgonyne or Hermaphrodite in Alchemical literature – the two sexes as One. (See Figure 19.)
Figure 19: The Androgonyne or Hermaphrodite. The two sexual genders - male and female - as the opposite energies, balanced in perfect equilibrium
In effect, by holding the forks in each hand the dowser takes on the semblance of the Androgonyne, in that the dowser seeks to centre or balance the two opposite energies within so as to reach into and gather more information from the Source of Consciousness itself – the Akasha – where all the information of the universe is contained. This information is then delivered via the pulls, pushes, jerks and twists of the dowsing rod, which has been made into a sensitive aerial or receiver by the balanced energies of the dowser.
Another popular dowsing tool is the L-shaped rods, which are made out of two L bent wires – of which one end is placed in a tube – making sure that the wire can turn freely. Again one is held in each hand as shown in Figure 20 – and again the same synchronisation process applies: The dowser will walk along with both rods pointing outwards.
A. Figure 20. Holding the ‘L’ dowsing rods B
A: Open rods represent the division of energy into two opposites.
B: Closed rods represent the fusion of energies back into one again. X marks the spot
Of course each dowser is an individual with his or her own preferences and so the results will sometimes differ according to the consciousness of the individual: but usually when the dowser encounters one of these ‘lines of force’ then depending on the positive or negative charge of the ‘meridian’ the rods will either turn outwards (negative) or inwards (positive.)
Now when encountering one of these neutral nodal points, the rods will often turn inwards and will cross over each other making an X. Like the Earth’s positive and negative lines of force, which will occasionally cross each other; cancelling each other out at a node; the X made by the crossing rods “marks the spot.” Again, it’s as if one’s synchronised energies become synchronised with the synchronised energies of the Earth.
Last but not least is the Pendulum dowsing method – which is much more versatile and based on the Triad.
Are these ‘zero-point nodes’ on the Earth the “dimensional windows” or “doorways” that veteran author and investigator of the paranormal, John Keel has hypothesised and has written about? And is one’s experience of these “doorways” and what comes through them, to all intensities, related to the activation of the human Physio-Kundalini System? Well the answer to this and more besides can be found in the cosmology adopted by those who built the Great Pyramid, and who designed into it, all the esoteric principles that I have outlined elsewhere in this work.
The Shining Ones and Atlantis
The story of the lost continent of Atlantis, was first told by the Greek philosopher, Plato. He wrote about Atlantis in two of his dialogues, Timaeus and Critias, around 370 BC. One of the details that interest us concerns the stone that was said to have been quarried from Atlantis. Plato tells us that one kind of stone was white, another red and a third black, and that the hillsides displayed veins of red, white, and black marble alongside deposits of every kind of precious metal. We are told that Atlantean architects used this red, white and black marble to design their buildings with these same three colours tastefully combined and contrasted.
Have we discovered the original source of the theme of Red, White and Black, which we keep encountering on our journey through these myths and legends? Not necessarily.
Remember that these descriptions were given
by Plato who lived between 427and 347 BC, and could be part of the code we are now unravelling, in
that these colours are associated primarily with ‘processes’ that are
physiological, psychological and psychical, as related to the trance state and
the related enlightenment experience.
As I have shown in the book I co-authored with Philip Gardiner, The Serpent Grail, the theme of the RED, WHITE and BLACK are related to different states of consciousness based on the Triad.
The Red and White are interchangeable but relate to the male-female, positive-negative opposites of the Triad. The Black is the neutral, as found in the midpoint between the opposites and also at the apex – the neutral point.
These three colours also relate to the Physio-Kundalini Chakra system and the two nerve channels symbolised by the serpents of the Caduceus – i.e., the male Pingala (red), the female Ida (white) and the central Sushumna (black).
We therefore cannot rule out the
possibility that these colors were actually associated with this ‘sunken land’,
which may have once existed, and may have even been a centre for the ‘Serpent
People’ or ‘Shining Ones’ who ruled through their knowledge – a knowledge which
they largely kept a secret to themselves.
And if so, then these colors were made to
correspond with these processes or vice versa, so that the code could encompass
several themes at once, which when unraveled by noting and cross-referencing
all the correspondences, would provide people in the future with the same
‘system of knowledge’ that had been understood concerning the nature of
existence and reality, along with the place from which it all may have
originated. All this was encoded together along with clever inferences made to
the very nature of the catastrophe that had possibly lost them their foundation
or centre.
Again, the existence of Atlantis remains inconclusive. However, the fact that in the Hindu cosmology, the god Shiva is red, Vishnu-Krishna is blue-black and Brahma is white reveals that we are again dealing with a code, which has been spread worldwide and obviously from the same source.
Furthermore, the Hindu myth of Manidvipa is said to
be an allegory pointing to the destruction of Atlantis by the Flood and of the
survival of its three races – red, white and black races – and in a special
kind of Ark. The Hindu trio, Shiva, Shava and Shakti, are often depicted
fleeing their destroyed world the ‘Island of the Jewels’ – Manidvipa.
But could this also be interpreted to mean that this knowledge was rescued,
preserved and carried over?
We are told that these three aspects of the
Hindu god also correspond to the three “sons” of Noah, who each symbolize the
three different colored races of mankind. Again, we can see the symbolic device
of the Triad being used both on an individual level, as regards the three
aspects of Self – one’s consciousness – and also on a collective level as the
three aspects or ‘races’ of man. Can we take these stories literally? –
Loaded as they are with the same symbolism?
We would note too, that in ancient Egypt
where the surviving Shining Ones had migrated after landing in Sumeria as we
will see later, the land was divided between 1,) Upper Egypt in the south,
which was signified by White, and 2,) Lower Egypt in the north, which was
signified by Red. The Nile itself and the soil around the Nile, was Black – as
the ancient name of Egypt, Khem, which means ‘black’, verifies it. It’s
where the name al-Chem-y is said to have derived, and as we know the
art of alchemy is all about the union or fusion of opposites.
Figure 21: An artist’s portrayal of what the capital city of Atlantis looked like.
In Plato’s dialogue, Critias, we are told that Poseidon, Greek god of the sea and also of earthquakes, was given Atlantis, and there he fell in love with a mortal maiden called Cleito. Cleito lived on a hill in Atlantis, and to prevent anyone reaching her home, Poseidon encircled the hill with alternate rings of land and water, “two of land and three of water, which he turned as with a lathe”. He also laid on abundant supplies of food and water to the hill, “bringing up two springs of water from beneath the earth, one of warm water and the other of cold, and making every variety of food to spring up abundantly from the soil”.
People tend to take the Atlantis story seriously and literally. Its true that we cannot really discount the reality of it, as the details may have been based on some truth, however, like the three colours of the Triad, we can also interpret this detail of the concentric ringed hill as symbolism or allegory, as it surely points to the shamanic concept of the seven-levelled, concentric sphere we saw earlier associated with the sphere of consciousness.
For instance, in Hindu and Buddhist cosmography there exists a central mountain called Mt Meru. Around this central mountain, which acts like the hub of a wheel, there are again sevenconcentric circles of water, each separated by seven circles of land including a range of golden mountains.
Returning to the Atlantis myth, the hill on which Cleito lives encircled by alternate rings of earth and water, is obviously based on the shamanic world mountain or ‘primordial mound’ of creation as we have seen in the stepped pyramid, the Mesopotamian Ziggurats and even Silbury Hill. The earth and water correspond with the male and female opposites, and the two springs – one warm and one cold, correspond with the two opposite nerve channels – the Pingala, which channels the hot, active “fiery” energy related to the male, and the Ida, which channels the cooling energy related to the female.
This is interesting as we see these same motifs associated with the trance state and the enlightenment experience, in the town of Glastonbury, England.
Legend says that after the crucifixion of Jesus, Joseph of Arimathea brought the Holy Grail to Glastonbury. However, we are also told that Joseph brought two cruets (vessels) with him. Apparently the blood and water (some say ‘sweat’ and therefore poison) that had issued from Christ’s wound, and which makes a reference to the blood and uterine water of rebirth, had been separated out and each contained in one of these two cruets. Again this indeed a reference to the two opposites (pineal and pituitary glands) that are brought together in the Grail (the thalamus at the centre of the head).
Earlier, I mentioned how the processes associated with the Kundalini are literally “drawn” on the landscape. Well we can see this in the account given about the city of mythical Atlantis, and unfortunately one cannot confirm this, but one can confirm it at Glastonbury.
The name ‘Glastonbury’ translates as ‘Glass-borough’. It was known as the ‘Isle of Glass’ due to the calm, still, glass-like appearance of the sea, or lake, which surrounded the Tor.
The deeper significance of Glastonbury and its central mound, the Tor, also stems from the two unusual springs, which are said to have emerged from a cave entrance under the Tor. One of these springs is known as the White Spring, as it contains white mineral deposits, which give it a milky-white appearance, and the other is known as the Red Spring, due to its rust-red, iron content. Again, in their many interpretations, the colours as regards male and female opposites, are interchangeable, and so like the blood of the snake, the red spring is said to have regenerative healing properties. Here we have yet another reference to the familiar theme of the Red and White – but this time we see it in the real phenomena surrounding Glastonbury Tor which is said to have been a central place of initiation for the shaman-like pagans and Druids of the region.
Figure 22: Glastonbury Tor (Chalice Hill) with St Michael’s Tower as
seen from the North.
Note the surrounding seven concentric levels. These are really inward folding paths based on the Cretan Labyrinth design, and symbolise the folds of the female vulva as well as the folds of the human brain. The existence of the tower is appropriate, as it represents the male phallus, which takes it place at the centre of the vortex. The whole symbolic design is similar to the Hindu, Yoni-Lingam symbol and ancient Egyptian Sun Symbol.
The significance of this was not lost on the pagan-priests who obviously believed this place to be the perfect ‘portal’ or ‘gateway’ into the Underworld as it reflected the fusion that goes on in the mind and body of an individual during the enlightenment experience.
In the Grail romances this fusion is the ‘healing’ of this division as allegorically told in the plight of the wounded Fisher King whose wound will not heal, until someone reminds him of this division and loss, by asking the question “Whom does the Grail Serve?” – thereby bringing the feminine principle to his attention which then heals and illuminates him. Perhaps in a strange way this explains why Cleito lived on top the hill, as if she represented the wisdom of the risen and awakened Kundalini, as the archetypal Goddess does indeed, and also why Poseidon prevented anyone from reaching her therefore denying anyone this knowledge and wisdom – and perhaps for a reason. Could this knowledge have anything to do with the catastrophe that had befallen the earth, resulting in the destruction of Atlantis?
Like the circle associated with the female, the symbolism associated with the World Tree (male – phallic) is also loaded with clues in this regard and also as regards the migration and ‘rebirth’ of this shining culture whose homeland was lost.
In the
Hindu text, the Mahabharata, the Asura (angel) capital city of Tripura
(“Triple City”) is similar to Plato’s descriptions of Atlantis. It expresses
three concentric parts like Atlantis, which is divided into three concentric
parts by canals. During the war between the Devas (angels) and the Asuras
(demons) the city of Tripura is sent burning to the bottom of the “Western
Ocean”.
I would emphasise that in all these stories, as with the Temple of Solomon, which
people tend to take too literally, we are really dealing with allegories that
are telling us something profound about the human mind and the human physical
system and they are all really leading us back to ourselves.
