This is a commentary on the astrological paradigm that is inherently imprinted upon the soul/psyche of every human being. All religions on Earth are based on the foundations of this zodiacal paradigm. Throughout this paper I go through each and every sign doing a separate vignette on each symbol and sign explaining, in as much detail as possible, the symbolism of Astrology and its relationship to the psyche: ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind. This zodiacal paradigm was initially structured by the ancients to illustrate the spiritual vision that each human being is heir to."

ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGMThe Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh:

A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal CycleWilliam John Meegan

Astrology has been so badly treated by modernity that it can be said undeniably that in its present condition it is nothing more than superstitious nonsense1. Academia and the practitioners of this paganism are equally guilty of the abominable condition that Astrology is projected, as, out into the general population. Academia’s silent consent is just as guilty for the demise of Antediluvian Astrology because of its indefensible failure to investigate how a worldwide system of spiritual thought can be independently generated throughout all times and climes in all cultures blanketing the globe.

In this short paper I have written a commentary on the zodiacal cycle’s sculptured frieze on the ceiling of the Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh. This is a preliminary analysis of Astrology, which I am preparing a larger work on, which this paper is one aspect of.

This colorful and comprehensive artistic rendition of the same Zodiac 2 from the Temple of Khnum, as outlined above, is added so the reader can study this zodiacal pattern, in clearer detail, in order to follow the commentary with an clearer and improved understanding of its artistic theme.

COMA: Ancient Astrological law states that the Zodiac cannot move until Virgo moves first. This is documented in the late nineteenth century by two members of the Christian clergy: E.W. Bullinger and Joseph A. Seiss3. It took many years for me to grasp and to understand this ancient law of Astrology. Study the above images on the ceiling on the Portico of “The Temple of Khnum at Esna (Esneh)4” and the in-place commentary by Jim A. Cornwell5. Mr. Cornwell obtains his commentary of this zodiacal cycle by a comparative analysis with a number of other Egyptian depictions of the Zodiac cycles’

1

symbolic images. I am satisfied that he has verified his material, in detail, from several Zodiacs in Egyptian art and he has done so conscientiously. What I like about Mr. Cornwell commentary is that he gives no frills or trills: just what he knows to be factual6.

Virgo moves first because its first decan is called Coma, which is interpreted in Hebrew as meaning DESIRE. Coma’s zodiacal image, on the ceiling of the Temple of Khnum at Esneh, shows that it as DESIRE is the ruling factor (force) in the constellation of Virgo, which inaugurates the movement of the heavens. Between Virgo and Coma there are many images depicted on the left hand side in the upper and lower regions of the zodiacal sculptured frieze (after the constellation of Virgo on the bottom and before the constellation Leo on the top).

Coma Berenices7 is a later Greek reinterpretation of Coma representing DESIRE; however, hidden within the mythology of Coma Berenices is the repudiation of the material world. Sacrificing materialistic beauty is analogous to DESIRING spirituality above all. “Berenice (newlywed) swore to the goddess Aphrodite8 to sacrifice her long, blonde hair, of which she was extremely proud, if her husband: Ptolemy III Euergetes9 returned safely.” I, personally, see the battle that Berenice’s husband (ego-consciousness) was engaging in symbolically as the psychic Armageddon10, which, in and of itself, brings about the destruction of the world and the birth of a new heavenly kingdom.

My understanding of Egyptian Astrology is that each of its renditions of the constellations of the Zodiac throughout Egypt is somewhat different then it’s other renditions and this is how it should be. This same concept of not replicating art throughout Christianity is seen throughout the medieval period. There should be in every occasion in a culture’s art when depicting the spiritual paradigm a variation of its theme. I view each of display of the Zodiac as a different perspective (snapshot) of the same zodiacal paradigm illustrating different nuances for instructional and edification purposes; thus, my analysis of this zodiacal cycle sculptured into the frieze on the ceiling of the Temple of Khnum at Esneh is not a definitive study of Egyptian Astrology and it is not intended to be so; though, I do believe it is a generic understanding of the zodiacal paradigm, which does not change from one culture to another; though, other cultures worldwide may shroud Astrology outwardly in different mythological garments the internal generic dynamics of the zodiacal paradigm is universal.VIRGO 11 : represents the woman that brings forth the messiah: DESIRE called

Coma, which symbolizes the virgin birth. Never has a materialist male or female ever sired this DESIRE (child) in the heart. Ego-consciousness is too strong an opponent, of what it considers an abomination, to allow it to take place. Everybody on earth has a will that they believe is just as strong as anyone else’s; however, Coma represents a DESIRE that is infinitely stronger than ego-consciousness’ petty efforts.

After the constellation of Virgo on the bottom left-hand side of the sculptured frieze and before the constellation of Coma on the upper portion of the zodiacal frieze there are a number of deities all having something to do with the Sun. The Sun sign rules Leo: Leo is symbolically the Sun. Note that there is, in the lower half of the sculptured frieze on the left hand side, a man with a cobra and sun disc crown: i.e. the pharaoh, and this denotes a spiritual awakening as depicted with the Kundalini Serpent (this symbolizes the individual is king (master) of his psyche: ego-consciousness and unconscious mind are spirituality synchronized).

The sun as a symbol is very ambiguous and problematic at best and this is why worshiping the sun has both negative and positive connotations. The sun

2

Page 3: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

as merely a ball of fire that rises in the morning and gives life to the materialistic earth is not a god and to worship it as such is pure paganism. The sun from this perspective represents an ego-centric (ego-driven) personality; however, to symbolize the sun as representing the risen Christ represents ego-consciousness attuning itself to the universal comic spiritual laws. This is why scholars and academics misinterpret symbolism when they study it: they have no idea of the generic paradigm of Astrology that gives explanation for the symbolism in-place.

The primitive peoples of the Earth that goes out each morning spitting on their hands and raising them to the rising sun has no idea why they do it. This is paganism; however, the initiate that understand esotericism studying religion and ancient mythologies is not partaking in pagan rituals because he or she understands what the symbolism means.

LEO12 and CANCER13: Leo is one of the most insidious symbols in the zodiacal cycle because it represents in the Roman and Christian mythoi the lion(s) that eats the Christian in the coliseum. The zodiacal cycle is the symbolical representation of the Roman Coliseum14. The lion symbolically represents ego-consciousness and it is the only tree in the Garden of Eden, which will destroy the soul and have it cast out of the City of God; yes, ego-consciousness eats the Christian alive.

In the upper portion of the sculptured frieze before the constellation of Coma are depicted two small lions and two lion-headed deities holding hands and most important they are facing each other as equals. Are these two males or do they depict a man and a woman? I suggest the latter because of the two small lions and because this feminine and masculine interpretation of these figures aligns with the basic paradigm of Astrology. I find this to be important conformation of the harmonious discourse that Ego-consciousness (Sun) has with the Anima (Virgo symbolizing the Unconscious Mind). The two small lions depict the subservient nature of ego-consciousness for each individuals (two lion-headed individuals) when ego-consciousness is spiritualized. I hypothesize that the two lion-headed deities represent the constellations of Leo and Cancer respectively. Leo and Cancer represent the Sun and Moon respectively and are the two pillars flanking the front entrance of every Masonic Temple: Boaz and Jachin. This is also seen in Christianity on the West Royal Portal of Chartres Cathedral with its two towers: the left tower represents the Sun and the right tower represents the moon. The reason I mention this at all is because after DESIRE comes and the soul is spiritually reinvigorated then the constellations of Leo and Cancer begins the movement of the zodiacal cycle by representing the entrance to the temple, which is of course the psyche/soul and in the center of the temple is the Holy of Holies (pineal gland).

Cancer symbolism is inherent in the crab that lives in all the oceans of the world. The ocean symbolizes the unconscious mind. The reproduction cycle of the crab and its caring of the young is what made it an apt symbol for the unconscious mind. Man’s consumption of crabs is analogous to the harmonious interplay that ego-consciousness can have with the unconscious mind.

HUMAN BRAIN:15 By studying this above interpretation of the brain with the twelve signs of the Zodiac assigned to the different areas of the cerebral lobes16 it can be seen that Leo and Cancer dominate the Frontal lobes (portal of the temple: Boaz and Jachin) as does Aquarius and Capricorn dominate the Occipital lobes. I am not a neurosurgeon nor do I pretend to be one; however, it seemed odd to me that the both the Parietal and Temporal lobes on the left and right sides of the brain were not each divided into two halves. When looking at the sculptured frieze on the ceiling of the Temple of Khnum at Esneh it seems as if the top and bottom of the frieze exudes a similar pattern and set up as the brain’s configuration. I was mainly influence in conceiving this hypothesis by knowing that in the center of the brain is the pineal gland17, which can only be activated by the activity in the surrounding cerebral lobes. Further influences in this above design were strengthened by knowing that the Zodiacal/Calendar year (see image below) in our own times, which hails from deep antiquity, exudes the STAR OF DAVID18. This Zodiacal/Calendar year was deliberated structured in antiquity to exude this image: it is the Star of Bethlehem as outlined in the New Testament; thus, it can be envisaged that this hypothesis is based upon zodiacal precedent that is of course if the pineal gland is considered the spiritual center of the brain (Holy of Holies): i.e. the Temple of God: BETHEL: House of God.

HUMAN BODY:19 When considering the brain as an outward manifestation of the twelve astrological signs it is not difficult to grasp that people of all ages considered different parts of the body to represent different aspects of Astrology. As seen in the accompanied image of the human body displaying the symbols of the Zodiac20 it does not leave much for the imagination to conjure up as to its implied meaning. It is as if souls are projected into the world to embody the very teachings (Astrological paradigm) that they are here in this material world to inherently assimilate. The concept is the same as that of an individual going to university to learn about medicine. That individual would have to transform himself into a doctor. Or an individual that wants to

4

Page 5: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

learn about erecting buildings then that individual would have to become an architect. Enumerable examples can be given; however, the conceptual idea doesn’t change. What I have personally envisaged in learning these ideas about the brain and body in relationship to Astrology is that no matter what the individual takes in via the psyche and/or the body it is ultimately a waste product. It is an in your face dogmatic principle that everything in the world is transitory though humans are prone to hoarding as if to make it all permanent. There can be no doubt that Astrology is saying that life is in the eternal NOW. The reader should also consider the fact that the human body like the brain has mirror imaging parts. I take this phenomenon to be an outward manifestation symbolizing the dualism of ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind: the initiate needs to harmonious synchronize these two parts to become spiritually whole.

BOOTES 21 : Note that the constellation of Bootes: the third decan of Virgo is between the constellation of Leo and Cancer. This is now two of Virgo’s three decans flanking the constellation of Leo: this cannot be coincidental. This Zodiac on the ceiling of the Temple of Khnum at Esneh is a commentary on the beginning of the spiritual awakening, which moves the wheel of the heavens: the Zodiac. Because both the constellations of Coma and Bootes flank the constellation of Leo this infers that Leo has been completely assimilated by Virgo. The Ego-consciousness (Sun = Leo the Lion) has been totally spiritualized: in this absorption of the constellation of Leo into its fold the spiritual powers that be imprints upon the psyche/soul22 a cleansed raison d’être (forgiveness of all previous sins): constellation of the Zodiac (God’s plan of creation: salvation).

Astrology is seen by modernity as a cycle that continuously repeat itself rather than a generic paradigm of spirituality. The Zodiac cycle should be seen as a grand celebration of life: the City of God; whereby, all of its symbolic inhabitants (spiritual powers), through a participation mystique, ensure the eternal and everlasting maintenance of the soul. Certainly, Astrology is a repetitive cycle only if the soul regresses into a state of materialism. A number of examples are given in the bible.

SCORPIO23 and SAGITTARIUS24: The commentator25 points out, in the upper portion of the sculptured frieze, that there is a similar image (two lion headed deities) before the constellation of Sagittarius. This is additional conformation of the ancient-system of Astrology still being in place. Between the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius is the Galactic Core. These two figures are not holding hands and both of them are facing in the same direction. I interpret this as each of these deities (symbolically the psyche: ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind), at this time (prior to the spiritual vision), having their own agendas. This means that the galactic core explosion (spiritual vision) had not taken place; yet, at this point, in the psyche.

This scene between the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius is analogous to Christ’s statement in the New Testament “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Mathew 16:19)”. Consider the scene of the two lion-headed deities before the constellation of Coma and then consider the two lion-headed deities between the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius. The keys to the kingdom of heaven are ego-consciousness (Sun) and the unconscious mind (moon). The scene between the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius is ego-centric; whereas, the scene before the constellation of Coma is showing these deities are submissive and spiritualized. The constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius will be discussed further below.

I mentioned above that the two figures holding hands before the constellations of Leo and Cancer represented both those signs. Then it was mentioned that these two figures are also seen between Scorpio and Sagittarius. I suggest the former and the latter are example of the psyche: ego-consciousness (Sun) and the unconscious mind (Moon) maturating through the zodiacal cycle.

What is quite apparent here in the Temple of Khnum zodiacal cycle is that the twelve constellations are split up into pairs. The constellations of Cancer (4) with Leo (5) and Scorpio (8) with Sagittarius (9) have already been somewhat discussed. I will return to the constellations of Libra with Virgo after completing the rest of zodiacal circuit.

BIRD-LIKE FIGURE (“with crocodile head with two extra pairs of wings in flight”): considering the entire design of the sculptured frieze’s twelve zodiacal

constellations it is quite amazing to see this conformation of the fifth day of creation out of the first chapter of Genesis. Right after the constellations of Leo and Cancer this bird in flight appears on the sculptured frieze. In the first chapter of Genesis in the fifth day of creation it talks about the birds coming out of the waters to live on the Earth. The constellation Eridanus26 is the second decan of the constellation of Taurus and in the Greek mythoi it symbolically represents a river. This bird-like figure aids in intertwining the constellation of Gemini with the constellation of Taurus. This bird-like figure is obviously coming out of the Milky Way, which is symbolically the Nile River27. The bird-like figure is, for all intent and purpose, Cygnus the Swan: in the Greek legend of Eridanus “Phaeton28, died and fell from the sky, struck by Zeus' thunderbolt, and tumbled into the Eridanos… and Cygnus29 mourned him—Ovid told—and was transformed into a swan”. It matters not that this

6

Page 7: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

bird-like figure is not a swan because Cygnus has been symbolized in the mythoi of the world in guises of different birds. In the constellation of Cygnus is Cygnus X-1, called the Children of the Swan30, which creation itself is giving humanity an exact conceptual image of CLOSING THE MYSTIC CIRCLE. This is the mystic’s end-goal to ‘Close the Mystic Circle31’, which allow continuous conscious contact, via understanding, with the higher spiritual powers.

BIRDS, SNAKES, HUMANS and other images: Within the precincts of the twelve signs of the Zodiac and their decans it can be seen that there are two major breaking-off sections and a third smaller one with birds and/or snakes and/or humans and/or other images clustering or a mummy. This is besides the two larger areas flanking the left and right portions of the zodiacal frieze. It is obvious that these sections depict a break in the fabric of the time/space continuum as if they were an extensions or logical outcomes of the funeral procession (ceremonial rites of initiation). One of these breaking-off sections is located between the constellations of Cancer and Gemini and the other breaking-off section is found between the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius. From my perspective both of these breaking-off sections are predictable based solely upon the Zodiacal paradigm. FIRST: the galactic core is located between the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius32. These two constellations symbolically represent the psyche: ego-consciousness and the unconscious Mind (two human figures symbolically representing the masculine and feminine aspects of the psyche). Yes, this is the symbolism of our universe; however, Astrology is also realistically analogous to the matrix of the psyche: ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind. The spiritual vision the psyche experiences, comes with the rising of the Kundalini, can rebirth the initiate or destroy the psyche. It is said, “Whom the gods would destroy, they first made mad33”. The world’s insane asylums are full of individuals that did not know how to deal with their gift from the spiritual powers. SECOND: The breaking-off section between the constellations of Cancer and Gemini shows a period of chaos but the large bird personifies a soul about to preen its wings to take flight. This bird can only live on the Earth (soul) which is symbolized by the constellation of Gemini. The twins symbolize the masculine or feminine psyche: ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind respectively. This is what the six day of creation is all about: discussing the task that each of the Gemini twins performs. There is a THIRD breaking-off section; however, it is a very small section, dealt with below, with the title of AMSET: the mummified figure. I point this last out because there is no stars (also stars are absent in the other two sections and there are no stars in those areas in the left and right sides of the zodiacal frieze) relating to Amset indicating that it is outside of the time/space continuum.

The galactic core explosion symbolizes the spiritual vision that the psyche experiences in its sincere DESIRE to know God. The funerary procession (ceremonies of the initiation rites), the galactic core explosion that takes place between the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius and the raison d’être that is realized between the constellations of Cancer and Gemini are all taking place outside of the time/space continuum. What this means is that the psyche: ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind has no say, whatsoever, in what the spiritual ‘powers that be’ does to it; however, it is my observational experience

Page 8: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

that the present passion and/or fixation that the initiate is presently occupied with at the moment of the vision that is what is spiritually heightened psychologically to become the WORD OF GOD. Recent examples over the past one hundred and fifty years would be Mary Baker Eddy (Christian Science),34 Carl G. Jung (Analytical Psychology)35 and Bill Wilson (Alcoholics Anonymous). 36 The spiritual ‘powers that be’ are designating a role for the soul to participate in: the raison d’être is its gift to the soul. This manner of interpreting the zodiacal cycle may well be where India obtained its caste system37. What I mean by this is analogous to how Europe created their Medieval cultured based solely upon the order of the heavens. The Sun and Moon symbolizes the King and Queen. The Royal Courts of Europe are all based upon the heavenly order immediate solar system.

Yes, it is difficult to grasp that all the constellations from Aquarius through to the constellation of Cancer are abstractly outside the time/space continuum, which are generated in the spiritual vision experienced by the initiate. The constellations of Gemini, Taurus, Aries and Pisces are also part of that instantaneous spiritual vision; however, these four constellations and decans express the limits that the soul can express itself in the time/space continuum. The other signs of the zodiacal cycle will be discuss in turn below.

Though the twelve signs of the Zodiac depicts the spiritual vision, in what the outer world considers a sequential pattern it is in fact an eternal incessant and never-ending psychic maelstrom gyrating38 in the psyche in a perpetual creative mode maintaining the status quo: i.e. creation as humanity knows it on a materialistic level; though, it may not know it on a psychic archetypal level. What humans actually envisaged spread throughout the infinite phantasm of the real world on a symbolic level via the corporeal senses is the psyche’s involuntary commentary on the MONAD: The UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICAL MATRIX: Prima Materia (Perennial Matrix)39: Ego-consciousness will never know of this matrix; though, the initiate experiencing the vision may learn to envisage it.

STARS (and the absence of stars): It is interesting to take note of the fact that throughout the twelve signs of the Zodiac and a number of their decans STARS can be seen throughout inferring exactly what they are constellations in the time/space continuum; however, on the left and right sides of the sculptured frieze in the funeral procession (representing the initiation rites) there are absolutely no stars at all as if to indicated that these abstract initiatory events depicted by the funeral procession are taking place outside of the time/space continuum (all of this is taking place in the psyche on a purely spiritual level); yes, it’s choreographed in the Mystery Schools: i.e. religions of the world, however, these worldwide religious mythoi only allegorically symbolizes the process of what is going on in the fixed matrix (UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICAL MATRIX: an objective commentary on the MONAD) that the psyche lives out its existence upon. ASTROLOGY is conceptualized solely from this objective commentary on the MONAD. Both ends of the sculptured frieze are in unanimity with the other three sections of the frieze that also displays no stars. The three breaking-off sections discussed above are all part of the funerary procession taking place in the psyche outside of the time/space continuum.

It must be realized that the twelve signs of the Zodiac are collectively the rind of the fruit or the hard casing of a nut protecting the kernel within. The kernel is the spirituality generated by the psyche and the mythoi of the world is that hard casing that must be slowly peeled away by the individual not by someone spoon feeding the initiate.

8

Page 9: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

THE MYTHOI OF THE WORLD: as it was mentioned above Astrology is the hard casing of a nut and the kernel within is the matrix of the psyche, which is the raison d’être that is imprinted upon psyche. Numbers and the alphabet are elementary tools by which man creates and communicates. These are generic systems of thought; though, other cultures may have different alphabets: i.e. languages, numbers are universal. Numbers are a basic archetypal pattern which is universally recognized. This is why Astrology is universal around the world. No matter the language the alphabet codified to the numerical system will always generate the same spiritual concepts no matter the culture. The matrix in the psyche is basically numerical because it is a commentary on the MONAD. Numbers are symbolic in nature because they are designated symbols (numerical digits) assigned to abstract ideas. There really is but one number and that is the MONAD. All other numbers 2-9 (ad infinitum) are imitation of the MONAD.

The point I am making here is that numbers are codified to the alphabet and in turn abstract ideas from out of the maelstrom of the psyche are penned to documents. The maelstrom of the psyche cannot be expressed in a few words; yet, within each written alphanumerical letter of the sacred scriptures is the sum-total of the omniscience Word of God (infinite knowledge). To the human materialistic intellect that is absolutely inane; however, it is what it is, I will not argue the point. When reading the surface texts of the sacred scriptures the numerical and geometrical patterns codified to the texts are not envisaged by the visual senses; however, that does not mean they are not there.

Hence, just as Astrology codifies the generic paradigm of the psyche, numbers are codified to alphabets, the mythoi of the world are codifies to the generic paradigm of Astrology so too does ego-consciousness, in the everyday activities of the individual, express esoterically the content exuding from the maelstrom of the unconscious mind; thus, it can be envisaged that two diametrically opposite concepts come together in unanimity to express the maelstrom of the psyche and the WORD OF GOD. Everything throughout the time/space continuum is an expression of the universal dynamics going on between ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind in relationship to the spiritual powers that be, which represent the dynamic maelstrom of the psyche. There is simply nothing else in God’s creation to discuss.

The time/space continuum is experienced, by the individual, from two diametrically different perspectives. The FIRST perspective is experienced universally: i.e. creation (matrix of the MONAD) is projected out from the maelstrom of the psyche involuntarily unto the screen of the senses: i.e. creating the phantasm of the real world. This real world happens to ego-consciousness spontaneously, very much if not the same as a dream while sleeping, without its conscious or unconscious consent. It is the matrix that the psyche has to deal with in life. This is analogous to the universal God that governs all of creation and not just a local solar system. The SECOND perspective that the individual has to deal with in life is experience locally via ego-consciousness. This is very much like living in a bubble of one’s own thoughts. This is similar to the sun having its own little domain: i.e. solar system or symbolically ego-consciousness’ perspective can be allegorized as the local deity (Baal): Yahweh is called Baal a number of times in the Old Testament.

There is a THIRD perspective that the psyche can experience in the time/space continuum; however, it is rarely envisaged to any great extent by the multitudes living in the ego-centric mode. The singular mandate of the

9

Page 10: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

psyche is to become attuned to the universal laws of creation otherwise ego-consciousness is eternally subject to the dictates of its own realm of thinking, which is merely experiencing a very painful and finite aspect of creation: i.e. Hell. If this AT-ONE-MENT with creation is achieved by the psyche it would be analogous to the psyche having acclimated itself to the mystical realm of the Garden of Eden: Shangri-La. The psyche would go forth and live a long happy and creative life in the world; though, this initiate would not be of the world. Unbeknownst to the people around this initiate he or she would be living on a totally different psychic and spiritual level then they are.

Now, I come to the point of this vignette after this above preliminary discussion about The Mythoi of the World. There are two types of sacred scriptures (literature): mythology and ‘alleged’ history. Both the overt mythologies and overt histories of the world are used by the spiritual sages covertly to allegorize the WORD OF GOD esoterically. It is easily seen how mythologies around the world can be alphanumerically allegorized; however, it is much more difficult (inconceivable to most) to envisaged that one own sacred scriptures, which are believed to be the actual historical archival records of one own culture, to be esoterically allegorized. It is blaspheme to most people in the existing culture to even conceive that their own religion is a mythology. I mentioned above how ego-consciousness esoterically expresses the maelstrom of the unconscious mind in everyday activities. Consider the dream and how during sleep it is impossible for the subservient ego-consciousness absorbed into the unconscious mind to envisage a dream in color or action packed images (the ego has not the psychic energy to perform these tasks). It is only upon awakening to the outer world, in the first few seconds, that ego-consciousness, as in a sudden knee-jerk reaction, mythologizes its sojourn into the unconscious mind in order to obtain a sense of what it had just experienced in the maelstrom of its unconscious mind.

Astrology is a snapshot so-to-speak of this entire universal spiritual paradigm gyrating within the psyche: i.e. imprinted upon the psyche.

ZODIAC: My interpretation of the twelve signs of the Zodiac spans the first four chapters of Genesis40. In fact the first four chapters of Genesis literally pairs off these twelve signs of the Zodiac into six sets just as I am doing in this article. This is why I was able to recognize the detail patterns depicted in the above Egyptian zodiac sculptured into the Temple of Khnum’s ceiling’s frieze. The twelve signs of the Zodiac are in sequence to the twelve months of the calendar year beginning with the first day of creation; however, symbolically the first six days of creation coincides with the first six months of the calendar year and the next six months are outlined in the second, third and fourth chapters of Genesis, which coincide with the second half of the zodiacal year.

1) CAPRICORN = First Day of Creation

2) AQUARIUS = Second Day of Creation

3) PISCES = Third Day of Creation

4) ARIES = Fourth Day of Creation

5) TAURUS = Fifth Day of Creation

6) GEMINI = Sixth Day of Creation

7) CANCER = First half of the Second Chapter of Genesis (the Moon totally eclipsing of the Sun)

8) LEO = Second half of Second Chapter of Genesis

9) VIRGO = Third Chapter of Genesis

10) LIBRA = Fourth Chapter of Genesis

11) SCORPIO = First Verse of Genesis

12) SAGITTARIUS = Second Verse of Genesis

GEMINI41 and TAURUS42: These two constellations are easily seen as being paired off because the constellation of Gemini’s third decan: Lupus is set before the constellation of Gemini and then the constellation of Taurus’s first decan: Auriga is set before the constellation of Taurus. Other than to show the pairing of the constellations Gemini and Taurus there is no apparent reason, that I can intuit, to position the constellations of Gemini and Taurus and their decans’ in this manner. Unlike the Virgo and Leo constellations interlacing with one another to the point of that it is difficult to determine conceptually where one begins and the other ends the constellations of Gemini and Taurus are still totally separate and distinct; however, their pairing is perceptible, at least in this sculptured frieze.

The Judeao Christian Scriptures has Egypt worshiping Taurus the Bull and this was also the age of pyramid building, which is associated to the constellation of Gemini. This entire period would encompass 4,320-years (cir. 6,640 to 2,320 BCE). The Egyptian mythoi have Osiris (Constellation of Orion) and Isis (constellation of Sirius) as King and Queen of Egypt. These constellations are in the signs of Taurus and Gemini respectively. The Great Pyramid of Egypt’s four star-alignment-shafts points to Taurus (Orion: 3rd

decan) and Gemini (Isis – Sirius in one of the stars in Canis Major: Gemini’s 2nd

decan), Draco (Taweret or Hippopotamus is a decan out of Sagittarius) and Ursa Minor (decan out of Cancer): Sky over Egypt 2500 BCE43. I take Isis not only as representing the Goddess (planet) Venus per se; rather, I would suggest alternatively that Isis represents the feminine aspect of the Twins: Gemini. The fact that the King’s Chamber’s star shafts in the Great Pyramid points to the second and ninth houses of the Zodiac and the Queen’s Chamber’s star shafts points to the third and fourth houses this suggest a play on the numbers two and seven, which abstractly points to the sun sign Venus (Goddess of Love), which rules the second (9 + 2 = 11 = 2) and seventh (3 + 4 = 7) houses. Taweret the hippopotamus (Thuban: star in Draco) was the Polestar in ancient Egypt. Taweret (Hippopotamus)44 was an extremely important goddess in the Egyptian cosmology because of this cosmic harmony.

I want to stress here that Egyptian cosmology, as I envisage it, is like all other major religions on Earth, the priesthood constructed and wrote their religious mythologies to an exact state of scientific and spiritual perfection. I find it a very primitive way of thinking for scholars to teach their students that the people of antiquity saw their deities in the heavens and then brought them down to earth in contrived mythologies; rather, it should be seen that antiquities mythologies was perfected first before their constituent components were assigned positions on the star-studded canvas of the universe. This is where the marriage of Gaia and Uranus45 comes into play, which transforms ego-consciousness (Sun) and the unconscious mind (Moon) into a harmonious relationship. This transforms the feminine universe (unconscious mind) into a supreme masculine deity (symbolically Uranus) via its initial dialogue (intercourse) with the Sun (ego-consciousness). The Earth, which would previously have been envisaged as a sun-scorched (ego-driven) WASTELAND, where humans roamed nomadically as fugitives and vagabonds, is in turned transformed into a Garden of Eden ruled by the Earth Goddess Gaia.

John Anthony West in his work SERPENT IN THE SKY46 posits the hypothesis that Egypt as a civilization was complete at its inception and had not evolved in any way over its long three thousand year history. I posited this very same hypothesis for Christianity in my recently published work: THE SISTINE CHAPEL: A Study in Celestial Cartography47 and illustrated that concept throughout by analyzing the great artworks of Christendom in its first sixteen hundred years. Though the histories and outer façade of Christianity may indicate an evolutionary growth, to a cursory examination, the symbolism all the way through the past two millenniums has not changed, whatsoever, it has all remained intact.

If academia could wrap their minds around this proffered hypothesis concerning the origins of antiquity’s mythoi it would change humanity’s present perspective and completely evaporate its biases, prejudices and preconceived notions on how the ancients created their civilizations and in turn envisage, to a greater extent, the legacy antiquity left modernity.

Yes, I do fully grasp the dilemma Academia would find itself in trying to accept this proffered hypothesis when considering mathematics and the alphabet not to mention the science of Astrology and its mythoi codified to each culture blanketing the globe in antiquity. These are the cultural mechanisms by which academia has always gauged the evolution of a culture; however, antiquity’s civilization rose from the dust of the ground, so-to-speak, from a totally different perspective than the dawn of the alphabet as proffered by Leonard Shlain in his work THE ALPHABET VERSES THE GODDES: The Conflict Between Word and Image48. Dr. Shlain, a neurosurgeon, proffers that the image was destroyed completely when the alphabet came on the scene. I beg to differ from this hypothesis because the image went nowhere it just went underground so-to-speak. Just as Christianity likes to tote out its origins via its descent into the catacombs when ‘the big bad wolf (Romulus being raised by wolves)’: i.e. the patriarchal Roman Empire, persecuted it so too did the IMAGE descent into the WORD49: the IMAGE’S symbolic catacombs, which is, for all intent and purpose, the birth of esotericism. I see the marriage of IMAGE and WORD as the birth of Astrology. Above the UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICAL MATRIX was introduced: this 10 x 10 matrix (commentary on the MONAD) is, for all intent and purpose, ANTIQUITY’S HALL OF RECORDS50. There is no intrinsic knowledge in creation that cannot be culled from this matrix, which archives into the mythoi of humanity the sum-total of all knowledge. From this seeming innocuous matrix comes the science of the alphabet and mathematics: Seven Liberal Arts and the science of Astrology: in a word it is OMNISCIENCE. The mystic that can visualize this matrix from out of the psyche has unfettered access to the divine powers that be. All the great civilizations of antiquity have risen from the platform of this matrix. China created its I Ching and Tao Te Ching from it, the Hinduism built every one of its temple based upon its schematics, Christianity created all its great artworks from it, Egypt built its pyramids based upon it and all the other cultures of antiquity around the world rose from its platform: i.e. all the sacred scriptures of the world are esoterically scribed from it.

Finally, on this issue, comes the question, whence comes the fall of humanity into the Dark Age it presently finds itself in? There are two basic; yet, diametrically opposite reasons that this can transpire. First each spiritual religion has its opposite: i.e. Protestantism rose from the ranks of disgruntled Catholics (harsh task masters) that did not want the difficult mind-straining task of reading the bible symbolically; thus, they broke away from Christianity similar to how the Israelite escaped the fleshpots of Egypt. The mythoi of Egypt, Christianity and Hinduism show a great deal of sensual behavior

12

Page 13: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

esoterically mythologized throughout its art and literature and I, personally, believe that the reason for this is because there is nothing in the world that would tempt the spiritual minded initiate back into the materialistic way of life more than sexuality. The greatest of all temptations is the sexual allure because sexual pleasure is hardwired (archetypally imprinted) on the psyche; thus, to write the mythoi of a culture esoterically as if the culture was caught up into sexual depravity was the height of spirituality. Just as the Jews accused Egypt of sexual depravity so too did the Protestants accuse Catholicism. Hinduism created a great temple with the entire Kama Sutra51 sculptured into its outer façade and the Kama Sutra is, first and foremost, scribed into Hinduism’s sacred literature. These are in your face temptations that the initiate seeking heightens spirituality avoid. People that are literal minded have no sense of spirituality and when confronted with this kind of material, displayed in a religious sense, they have no other context in wish to view it other than sexual depravity: hence, the great schisms in the religions of the world. Literal minded people were never spiritual from their beginnings; therefore, they cannot be said to be religious.

The SECOND way that modernity finds itself in the present DARK AGE is in the peeling away of materialistic items from out of one environment: out of sight out of mind, which is developed in many monastic practices around the world; however, at times this goes too far in the way of asceticism. Self-flagellations are abominations. When a mystic becomes so impatient that he or she would injure him or herself (out of some ill conceived notion that he or she has sin against God) in order to know God than that initiate has ceased to be spirituality minded. God has given the soul a body in order for it to live in His prepared Garden of Eden, why would he injure it? It is the misinterpretations of the sacred scriptures of the world by succeeding generations that degrades religion. Christianity had lost itself a number of times in its first sixteen hundred years and had reinvented itself a number of times during that period. Egypt three thousand year history shows that it had to also reinvent itself a number of times over that period. It is nothing new for a culture to regress into Darkness and then climb back into the Light again.

AMSET (Imset) 52 : is the Egyptian god that guards the liver, which purifies the blood. Between the two sets of constellations Gemini with Taurus and Aries with Pisces is a mummy figure designated as Amset. In the context that Amset is displayed, it cannot be Ptah53 since that god symbolizes the creator. Amset is designated as a mummy and awaits rebirth into some sort of paradise; thus, Ptah cannot be dead wrapped as a mummy.

There is one overriding principle I believe the Egyptian God Amset is symbolizing as the mummy. When I think of the liver I tend to think of the damage that alcohol does to it (think of the story of Noah after the flood); though, the liver reinvigorate itself all the time; however, the daily onslaught of inebriation will eventually damage the liver to the point of no return. Inebriation is symbolic of getting drunk on of the materialism of the world. Alcohol reminds one of embalming fluid and the mummy’s wrappings are liken to the swaddling clothes that a baby is wrapped in. The swaddling clothes are symbolic of the mother introducing the new child into society’s secular and religious mores and how much these teachings have soaked into the psychic awareness. So from the cradle to the grave the wrappings of society’s secular and religious mores are there. It is said you can’t take your wealth with you. I beg to differ, for the symbolism of the mummy suggest that the psyche takes what he or she has accumulated in life with him or her psychologically into death; otherwise, if this concept was not so, why would there be a need for the weighting of the heart at the end of the lifecycle? Furthermore, what the

13

Page 14: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

mummy symbolizes in Egyptian symbolism the stone statue symbolizes in the Christian mythoi. Like the mummy the stone symbolized the concretization of thought and the soul/psyche needs to be malleable if it is to progress spirituality. This concept of statuary representing concretized thought is brought out beautifully on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. In Chartres Cathedral the stone statuary depicting biblical stories on the outside façade and inside of the cathedral are transmogrified spirituality through the light that comes into the cathedral (Temple of God) symbolically through the stain glass windows.

The significance of Amset positioned between Gemini with Taurus and Aries with Pisces is singularly significant because it is pointing to a transformative paradigm that is yet to be envisaged. The fact that Amset is the guardian of the Liver, which purifies the blood indicates a transubstantiation process is about to take place. Since Amset is positioned between these two sets of constellations this seems to indicates that the Egyptian culture is going to be transmogrified into the Judeao Christian religions found in the sacred scriptures to represent the constellations of Aries (Ram) and Pisces (Fishes). In every sense Aries and Pisces are literally the new heaven and the new earth about to arrive in the night skies to dominate the next couple of Astrological ages.

When considering the pairing of the constellations of the Zodiac into sets then it should easily be envisaged how the mindset of the Egyptian is transformed into the Judeao Christian Scriptures: i.e. Old and New Testaments, which symbolically represents the constellations of Aries and Piscis respectively. It is the task of the initiate to cull from the stone of the letter of the texts of the Old Testament the teachings of the New Testament. The Old Testament symbolizes the old Adam and the New Testament symbolizes the last Adam.

Generically speaking the Egyptians could not have known that the Judeao Christian religion was on the horizon; however, they would have known that through the Astrological Precession of the Equinoxes that something new was going to transpire in the coming Aries and Pisces ages. In addition the Egyptian priesthood would have known that regardless of the changes in the outer religious mythoi the basic inner Astrological paradigm would remain intact. This last is derived from the fact that there is an Osiris-like figure at the end of Pisces in this zodiacal frieze.

It is very difficult to explain the psychological concept behind the transformation of the Egyptian mythoi to the Judeao Christian mythoi. I, personally, liken this psychological transformation from adolescence to an adult; however, in this particular analogy there is absolutely no difference between what the child understands from that of the adult’s understanding. In the real ‘outer’ world there are fixed paradigms such as the Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc., etc.; however, in the psyche that process of changing from one fixed paradigm to another is too fluid to concretize into fixed ideas. Just as a child is taught, in modernity, via the support of allegorical cartoon characters as oppose to adults being educated through the historical mythoi the edification process is still the same. Now, translate that process to the mythoi that the primitive peoples around the world are experiencing in contrast to what the so-called higher civilization are experiencing. Like the children and/or primitive tribal members that are still halfway in and halfway out of the unconscious mind they have to be psychological dragged kicking and screaming so-to-speak completely out of the unconscious into the conscious world: similar to a person awakening from out of a dream. This is

14

Page 15: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

comparable to transforming from the educational process of learning from cartoon characters to the edification process of the so-called historical mythoi.

I am in no way suggesting that the Egyptian culture in antiquity was primitive; on the contrary, the Egyptian culture at its peak epitomized human perfection. This can be said for any of the high civilizations (Greek, Roman, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc., etc.) that have risen from the dust of the Earth. Analogously; therefore, it can be said that the contrast between the Egyptian mythoi and the Judeao Christianity mythoi can be classified as blatant mythology in contrast to the historic reserved mythology. In the first instance it is clear that the culture is living its mythology and in the second instance it appears that the culture is living out its mores that were derived naturally through the process of Cultural Development. Finally, on this point, this Astrological nuance that is clearly projected out from the two sets of zodiacal constellations: Gemini with Taurus in contrast to Aries with Pisces, also point to the fact that the initiate has the right to live life out either way as he or she see fit to do so: mythologically or through the historical mythoi (this is where monasticism and/or the life of a hermit is chosen).

There is also the added and most diabolical of inferences in which modernity can attest: people can completely lose their cultural mythology and live life without a blatant mythology and/or an historical mythology; hence, the present DARK AGES looming over modernity. The DARK AGES were ushered in through the so-called Age of Enlightenment and the Protestant Reformation, which owes its inauguration by way of the invention of the printing press. When a culture ceases to teach it youth its religious mores that culture regresses to the primitive mentality of an uneducated child, which is the most brutal and savage of beings housed in an adult body. Members of Congress, corporate boardrooms and street gangs analogously have this same savage and brutish mentality, which raises the most important of questions in the mind of modernity, “which is the toughest of these disparate gangs?” It is really not difficult to envisage that the street gangs of America will become the future barbarians that destroy the culture of the United States. It may take a century or two but unless there is a nationwide epiphany that prophecy stands.

Regardless of whether or not the psyche attunes itself to the Astrological Paradigm, that is the inner and outer psychic creation, the individual is still subject to its dictates: universal laws: “Ignorance of the law excuses no one” 54 . This latter may sound harsh; however, it is my belief and it is also a Hindu’s doctrinal belief that a soul comes into the world at its spiritual level of development; therefore, each soul is where it is suppose to be: in the heaven or hell that it had personally designed for itself.

ARIES55 and PISCES56: These two constellations are basically a rehashing of the Egyptian religion in different symbolic garments and that is not a bad thing; rather, that is what is supposed to take place after the demise of the Egyptian (overt mythological) religion: after the dispensation of the Gemini and Taurus constellation have completed their courses. Judaism and Christianity are the new Heaven (masculine) and new Earth (feminine) respectively. This is the new manner in which religion is expressed. The search for God is everlasting and to come to a screeching halt as if one has reached a destination: i.e. (imagined) paradise is in fact turning away from God. The moment that the initiate THINKS he or she knows God is the moment he or she knows nothing about God: it is at that moment that the initiate begins his or her descent back into the abyss of darkness from whence he or she came.

Page 16: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

The spiritual law of God is imprinted upon the soul esoterically. If this was not so then individually we would not be human and have this matrix of a body nor would we have this particular world or universe to exist within. It is the esotericism imprinted upon the soul that is the desired teachings that ego-consciousness inherently wants to learn; however, ego-consciousness is always looking outwardly; rather, than inwardly for its database of knowledge. Everything that a human being, animal, vegetation and inanimate object exudes through thought, word or deed (action) obeys the law of this internal matrix imprinted upon the soul. Everything in the world exudes this eternal archetypal law and humans see only a shadow of that law expressed in the outward world: the “glass darkly” that Saint Paul speaks of. The sacred scriptures of the world were written by ancient scribes that understood this internal matrix and its archetypal database of knowledge and codified it esoterically to the sacred scriptures, artworks and megalithic monuments of antiquity; thus, it can be seen how this esoteric law (God: Christ) imprinted upon the soul can be brought down into human flesh (sacred scriptures) and dwell amongst the peoples of the Earth. Studying the Old Testament allows the mystically minded individual to cull this esoteric database of knowledge from its textual materials.

The Judeao Christian Scriptures begins with Abraham being called out of Ur (city57) into a nomadic lifestyle as a desert wanderer: fugitive and vagabond in the Earth. The word ‘Ur’ means ‘city’, which conceptually go up against the nomadic way of life (chaos versus order, which was an anathema in antiquity).

It should be pointed out that the word ‘city’ used in this context is not how modernity understands that word. In the symbolic context that the bible and/or any other spiritual cultures use it is in the context of a MANDALA58. This means that the individual in searching for understanding of God comes to a spiritual understanding of the cosmic spiritual paradigm that is not how anybody else understands it. In this sense the initiate is the ruler of his own psyche and his or her belief system is coalesced into a MANDALA like pattern (city = philosophy). CG Jung59 would encourage his patients and students to create their own artistic mandalas. This concept of the Mandala is analogous to Closing the Mystic Circle. The initiate need not understand Astrology in order to close the Mystic Circle.

This concept between the city dweller and the nomadic way of life would abstractly coincide with the Cain and Abel lifestyles. Abraham being called out of the land of his father is just after the Tower of Babel is discussed in the sacred scriptures (Genesis chap. 11). The Jews in the bible were eternally wandering nomadic tribes, which from the time of Abraham to the destruction of the second temple created the final curse of the eternal Diaspora down to the present age where the Jews need the strength of a superpower (USA) to assure their continuous existence amongst the surrounding nations. Britain and the USA may be able to place nomadic tribes (Jews) from out of the Diaspora into a city of so-called civilized people but those countries assuring the Jews of their continuous existence cannot take the chaos of the nomadic tribal mentality out of these new transplanted city dwellers. I, personally, do not believe it is possible to civilize a Jewish nation: the very idea itself is oxymoronic. Individual Jews, yes, it can be done; however, as a tribe, no: the clannishness is what creates the cohesion of the tribal mentality and belief system. The Old Testament (Law of the Prophets) is written on the surface texts psychologically to maintain a tribal unanimity. That tribal cohesion is what creates the chaos that is the violent Jewish mentality, which does not allow the Jews to coexist peacefully with anybody in the surrounding nations...

16

Page 17: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

It is as if the surface texts of the Old Testament are written archetypally to prevent the Jews from having any peaceful coexistence with the Gentiles of the world. Any commentaries on that surface textual materials literally strengthens that archetypal paradigm; hence, the birth of the Right Wing Protestant Coalition in the USA: Born Again Christians birthing themselves with the violent Jewish mentality.

It may be asked, why are you badgering the Jews? I am not badgering the Jew per se; rather, I am commenting on the Judeao Christian Scriptures and describing what distinguishes a Jew from a Christian or other Gentile believers. True Christians reads the letters and the words of the sacred scriptures symbolically (Gematria); whereas, Jews and like-minded people taking on the persona of the Jew reads the sacred scriptures literally and is subject to the psychological archetypal mandates of that textual materials, which they know nothing of it true purpose. Look at today’s materialistic world. It is a dog-eat-dog world (greedy, selfish and murderous to the core). That violent materialism is analogous to the Jewish violent mentality. I am not being mean spirited here; symbolically, it is what it is. It is said that 0.02% of 1% of the peoples of the world are Jews: that is the real world; however, on a truly symbolic level 99.98% percent of the peoples of the world have the violent Jewish mentality and only 0.02% of 1% of the people of the world are true Gentiles (spiritual minded people actually living in the Garden of Eden).

Because of my understanding of Christianity I can clearly state unequivocally that THE NEW TESTAMENT IS A VERY TERSE AND SUCCINCT COMMENTARY ON THE ESOTERICISM CODIFIED TO THE OLD TESTAMENT. The entire Old Testament is esoterically structured. What this means is that every single letter is alphanumerically (grammatically and mathematically: i.e. Seven Liberal Arts: Quadruvium and Trivium) structured, which produces an entirely different mentality via a spiritual archival database of knowledge that the surface storyline knows nothing of. Those that read the indigenous texts of the sacred scriptures alphanumerically will not be subject to the violent mentality that is printed upon the psyche/soul of those that blindly adhere to the surface archetypal textual storyline. The Old Testament’s association to the New Testaments is very much like the image of Cygnus X-I. In fact the size difference between the two is analogous to the coiled Kundalini Serpent. Christians that constantly study the esotericism of the Old Testament would be like a baby receiving its mother’s milk (Eucharist) symbolically like the image of Cygnus X-I.

What the mythoi of the Abraham story tells us is that there is a certain group of people, mournfully the Jews as a religious group have been cast into that symbolic role, that cannot abide true spirituality. The mentality of these people prefers the outward materialistic life rather than living in a spiritual like-minded community.

I liken the mentality of the materialist analogously to the domesticated cat that has been tossed into the world by its owner to fend for itself. The cat is use to being fed, housed and caressed by its owner and it reward its owner by purring its content; however, now that the cat is out in the world fending for itself looking for food and shelter and fighting off predators and natural enemies it becomes jaded to the violence of the world, expecting it at every turn, and eventually the once domesticated cat becomes acclimated to this violent way of life. In order to survive that cat has to become as violent as the world around it. Normally, the domesticated cat is seen as a pet to cuddle and yet that cat from its inception is just as

17

Page 18: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

vicious as the Lion, Tiger, Panther or any large feline living in the wilderness of the world. There is an old Chinese saying, “God gave us the cat to know what it is like to caress the Tiger”. There is a very informative film called “CATS: Caressing the Tiger60” that shows just how violent the domesticated cat becomes left to its natural instincts. Symbolically, the cat represents the ego-consciousness (Sun) for it has no allegiance to anyone. It will go to anyone that feeds it or caresses it and has no loyalty to its owner; whereas, the dog (descendent of the wolf) baying at the moon is eternally loyal when it is domesticated.

After the constellations of Taurus and Pisces have completed their zodiacal ages (4320-years) in the sculpture frieze at the Temple of Khnum four additional deities of the underworld are interlace amongst a procession of souls journeying towards the soul’s DESIRED goal. These four additional Lords of the Underworld are seen on both the top and bottom on the right side of the sculptured frieze. It is as if the entire entourage that will participate in this ritual of the dead is being inferred, in this section, in this procession. OSIRIS 61 : The Osiris-like figure is of course the Lord of the Underworld. Osiris is

associated with the constellation of Orion, which points to the soul being Christ-like at death seeing it is coming directly after the Age of Pisces. This Osiris-like figure is not mummified waiting for the Last Judgment; rather, it is transfigured into Christ-like image. It is said that every soul in Egypt’s religion upon death takes on the persona of Osiris; hence, Christ-like.

SOBEK 62 : represents the Egyptian Crocodile god, which symbolizes the river Nile inundating and renewing the lands of Egypt each year by overflowing its banks. This is not so in the modern age since the construction of the Aswan Dam (what I call Egypt’s eternal folly). The destruction of the number of Egyptian temples and other sacred sites is incalculable: it is an abomination.

Nonetheless, Sobek representing the Crocodile god (depicted on the upper and lower parts of the sculptured frieze) literally dominates this funeral’s procession on the Nile River, which as the Crocodile god it personifies. This is analogous to the funeral procession traveling the Milky Way heading towards the Northern Cross (Cygnus the Swan), which is the first decan of Aquarius that unerringly points to the galactic core. Note how the funeral procession headed by the Egyptian god Shu stops right before the constellation of Aquarius.

ANUBIS 63 : “One of the roles of Anubis was "Guardian of the Scales". Deciding the weight of "truth" by weighing the heart against Ma'at, who was often depicted as an ostrich feather, Anubis dictated the fate of souls. In this manner, he was a Lord of the Underworld, only usurped by Osiris”.

SHU 64 : This Egyptian god is associated with Maat: Truth, Justice and Order65 and is depicted with a feather on her head symbolizing air, which in turn symbolizes MAAT.

This funeral procession of the dead moving towards the Last Judgment ‘so-to-speak’ determined by the Scales of Libra can take a nanosecond or millenniums and this is explicitly expressed quite clearly by the grouping of three sets of the zodiacal signs: Aquarius with Capricorn, Sagittarius with Scorpio and Libra with Virgo. What groups these six constellations is the two gods Saturn and Mars that switched places in the zodiacal heavenly wheel. Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius and Mars rules Taurus and Libra and the entire funeral procession is included in that mix. The Egyptian god Shu represents the feather

18

Page 19: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

weighted against the heart and there is Anubis that conducts the ceremonial weighing of the heart on the Scales of Libra.

AQUARIUS66 and CAPRICORN67: Shu the god of Truth literally comes to rest on the edge of Aquarius. “Aquarius is a constellation also known as the Water Bearer and was a servant to the gods. He was also a human at one time. He was the son of King Tors. When he was human, his name was Ganymede68”. “In Greek mythology, Aquarius is identified with Ganymede, a youth whom Zeus fell in love with. Ganymede is a divine hero whose homeland was Troy. Zeus in the guise of an eagle represented by the constellation Aquila 69 , carried Ganymede to Mount Olympus (Cygnus X-I???) to be a cup bearer to the gods. Aquarius was the pourer of waters during the mythical great flood via the constellation or Eridanus the river70“. Eridanus being analogous to the Nile River: i.e. Milky Way.

When considering the mythoi of symbolism from all the mythologies of the world it is not difficult to do a comparative analysis between one and another. Zeus/Jupiter is receiving water from Ganymede, which is Aquarius. The relative size of Ganymede: Jupiter’s moon is symbolic to the size of Jupiter receiving substance from Cygnus X-I: Children of the Swan (image shown above): Cygnus is the first decan of Aquarius. This illustrates why the Egyptian God should stop before Aquarius. Jupiter rules Pisces and Sagittarius. To grasp comprehensively the mythoi of Astrology, when it is not fully understood in one’s own culture, it is merely a matter of making the symbolic correlation between the mythoi of other zodiacal mythologies.

The constellation of Capricorn has already been identified in the above via Aquila; nonetheless, “In Greek mythology, the constellation is sometimes identified as Amalthea, the goat that suckled the infant Zeus after his mother Rhea saved him from being devoured by his father Cronos (in Greek mythology). The goat's broken horn was transformed into the cornucopia or horn of plenty.”

The mythoi regarding the constellations of Aquarius and Capricorn and decans epitomize the description that has come down to humanity as the Garden of Eden71: Shangri La72.

MARS 73 : is depicted on the back of Capricorn like having a monkey (addiction) on one’s back and that is very significant when realizing that this is the god of War (conflict: i.e. adversary), which is associated with the constellations of Aries and Scorpio. Aries rules Judaism and in just the past sixty-six years of Israel becoming a nation it has not enjoyed one moment of peace in all that time. Astrology does have an objective influence upon the psyche of an individual no less a nation: never forget the trials and tribulations of the German Empire when a whole nation was caught up in the grips of an archetype. I proffer that Mars is depicted on the back of Capricorn as an indication of it having the eternal and everlasting ear of the soul/psyche. This is very much like the story told in the book of Job74 in the Old Testament when Satan went before the Lord of the World for permission to destroy Job and it was granted. This same concept is brought out in every single Sibyl and Prophet that Michelangelo frescoed on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel: both a cherubim and demon is in all their cartouches (see the above image of the prophet Ezekiel75). This same concept is taught

19

Page 20: ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Commentary on the ceiling’s Zodiacal Cycle

to every Roman Catholic: there is an angel on one shoulder and a demon on the other. Even when the initiate obtains the Garden of Eden, as witness in the story of Adam and Eve, he or she has to maintain eternal vigilance.

Here the zodiacal frieze on the ceiling of the Temple of Khnum at Esneh has come to an end or it can be said the initiate’s had reached his or her desired goal by entering into the mythoi of Aquarius and Capricorn: Garden of Eden; however, there is no end to the search for God though there can be found peace and rest in knowledge of Him. Though the constellations Aquarius and Capricorn may be the end of the zodiacal paradigm the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius is certainly not the beginning of a new cycle. It is extraordinary how the Egyptians priesthood were able to intuit that the entourage of the funerary procession continued on with the soul throughout life judging the soul/psyche throughout in all of his or her thoughts, words and deeds.

SCORPIO and SAGITTARIUS (continues from above): The beginning of the zodiacal paradigm has already been discussed as being Leo and Cancer (that cannot change) though Virgo plays a great part in that initiation process. Virgo is the birth of the DESIRED ONE, which Christianity has defined as Christ; the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius come into play when the DESIRE ONE is felt, by the powers that be, to have arrived in the heart of the initiate: the weighing of the feather of Truth by Anubis. The sculptured frieze show the two individual in the center of the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius both looking the same way as if each had their own agendas in mind. The spiritual vision had not yet been received.

Dr. Paul A. LaViolette, Ph.D. was the first that I know of in modernity to recognize that Astrology was deliberately set up to depict the galactic core center and he outlines his theories in his book EARTH UNDER FIRE76 and the video (DVD) of the same name77. In fact this scientific nuance of the location of the galactic core center outlined by Scorpio and Sagittarius far exceeds modern scientific efforts to calculate the galactic core’s position.

My own study of the first two verses in the first chapter of Genesis shows this very same concept outlined beautifully first in the first word of Genesis: BERESHITH and then between the first two verses of Genesis (Torah) and I have outlined this scenario in two of my published works78: however, I must admit that though I had previously done a great deal of research on the first word, first two verses and first four chapters of Genesis in relationship to the zodiacal cycle this nuances about the galactic core center being between Scorpio and Sagittarius was influence solely by Dr. LaViolette’s work; though, I had already discerned the Northern Cross: i.e. Cygnus the Swan as representing the symbolism of Bereshith and the constellation of Cygnus being between the first two verses of Genesis the galactic core center had not entered my thought whatsoever until I became aware of Dr. LaViolette’s work.

When considering the mythoi of the Judeao Christian Scriptures there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that they were written other than to archive the record of the soul spiritual vision gifted to the initiate from the spiritual powers that be.

VIRGO and LIBRA79 in mythology these constellations are depicted as Virgo holding up the Scales of Libra. In the first four chapter of Genesis this very same image dominates the zodiacal cycle codified throughout the first four chapters of Genesis. The soul/psyche has the choice between LIGHT and DARKNESS. In fact Libra’s Scales codified to Genesis texts literally represent Light and Darkness. Often this is depicted in modernity as Justice having a blindfold holding up the Scales as if to weigh in the balance justice. The constellation of Virgo had already been discussed above.

SATURN/CRONUS80: is depicted between the constellations of Virgo and Scorpio. This represents Saturn changing places with Mars and this is quite apropos because of Mars’ monkey-like influence on Capricorn. Saturn rules Aquarius and Capricorn. Why would Saturn switch places with Mars the adversary unless Mars had gotten his request granted to destroy the soul/psyche as seen in the case of Job? It is these two ruling planets that unite in unanimity Aquarius with Capricorn, Scorpio with Sagittarius and Virgo with Libra. It can be said that from this particular variation on the zodiacal paradigm these six signs/months are symbolically months of the Calendar Year because at this particular moment there is no spiritual equation in the mix; however, the constellation of Leo through to the constellation of Pisces would be designated as Astrological signs. So what I see Saturn/Cronus doing between the constellations of Virgo and Libra is eating his children (destroying spirituality in the soul/psyche) and Demeter81 the founder of the Eleusinian mysteries82 is one of Cronus’s/Saturn’s children. It was not until Zeus 83 / Jupiter defeated his father Cronus84/Saturn that all the other children of Cronus were released (see Genealogy of the Olympians in Greek Mythology85).

IN CONCLUSIONThroughout I have reference every symbol I could think of that would aid the reader in his or her studies of this zodiacal paradigm, which I believe is imprinted on the soul/psyche. It is continuous never-ending research that brings the chaos to order and that alone should be the end goal of the soul/psyche. The reader should not feel swamped by all of this research because the true initiate has the rest of life to search for God and the few references that I may have listed in this article is a fraction of that material that will come his or her way in the future.

Throughout this article I have utilized classical mythology as much as I could and the reason for that is simple enough: the mythoi of the Greek and Roman cultures are indelibly linked to the Judeao Christian religion and any Christian that denies that has no understanding of Christianity. As it can be seen from my references and links if I had no knowledge of classical mythology I could not have understood no less have written a commentary on the zodiacal cycle’s sculptured frieze on the ceiling of the Temple of Khnum at Esneh.

I do understand of course that most Christians do not understand Astrology and/or Greek and Roman mythologies; however, that is an issue each initiate has to overcome privately. Today internet resources put the average person finger strokes away from any topic being research so there is no justification for not knowing what needs to be known.
