[THUNDEROUS NOISE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

To discover the true
meaning behind any subject,

it is sometimes necessary to
unlearn what has been taught.

Take the concept of
paradise, for example.

While Eastern traditions equate
paradise with the higher ideal,

Western traditions
view it as a pure land

tainted by evil, reserved
for the virtuous,

and accessible only to the dead.

But this view is based
on errors in translation

from older sources,
further distorted

through religious
motives and then

through unquestioned repetition,
accepted over time as dogma

despite it bearing
little resemblance

with the original teachings.

So what is paradise
really about?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Antiquarians such
as John Michell

summed up paradise as
a kind of life mission

whose aim is the
attainment of philosophical

as well as biological
perfection.

And to quote Michell, "just
as the forms of nature,

such as the rose, the
crystal, and so on

reflect an ideal symmetry,
which no individual among them

ever achieves, so it
is with humanity."

In deriving all
the forms of nature

from ideal and
manifest prototypes,

traditional philosophy reverses
the evolutionist's notion

of human assent
from lower creatures

and inculcates the
opposite myth that we

are descendants from
a divine creation

and may properly aspire to
re-enter the primeval paradise.

If so, how do perfection
and paradise overlap?

Is it really a state that can
be experienced when one is still

in this world?

And if paradise is more
than an imaginary realm,

how and where can it be reached?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Our quest begins with
the most unlikeliest

of topics, the Knights Templar.

Back in the 12th
century, recruits

wishing to join
the Templar Order

made a vow to discover
the joys of paradise.

It seems odd that military
men and mercenaries

with big swords, people who
engage in war for a living,

should make such a
preposterous statement.

Or was there something
more to the Templars

that meets the eye, a
spiritual angle perhaps?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It is known that the inner
brotherhood of the Templars

behave more like an ecumenical
college than an elite fighting

outfit.

And they also conducted
a secret ritual

that culminated in a
mystical revelation.

And a hint of what
this entailed came

to light in the 14th century.

After the Templars
escaped persecution,

they moved to
Portugal and Scotland.

And following a secret ritual on
the summit of a sacred mountain

on the spring equinox,
they changed their name

to Scottish Rite Freemasonry.

So in a matter of
speaking, the Templars

were one of the
first organizations

to successfully employ brand
marketing and public relations.

But it enabled the practices
to remain untouched.

So in the Masonic third degree,
for example, the candidate

is lifted from a
figurative grave.

They're pronounced
risen from the dead.

And then his or her
blindfold is removed.

Why?

Because having been exposed
to restricted knowledge,

they became enlightened.

And the third degree
itself was symbolic

of an actual ritual
that was performed

in a restricted underground
chamber in which the candidate

undertook an induced
out-of-body experience.

Now, the initiates who
successfully completed

the ritual claimed that they
had experienced paradise

and were therefore free
from fear of physical death.

And it gave them a
completely different view

of how the universe really is
rather than how it appears.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Well, to add to this, there's
the Masonic 17th degree.

And it's said to be the most
spiritual of all the teachings

because it paves the
way to understanding

the laws of nature and
establishing a relationship

with a non-physical reality.

Now, clearly such concepts
didn't just appear overnight.

They are the sum
of hundreds, if not

thousands, of years of
acquiring specialist

information and, of course,
personal experience.

So the question
is just how old is

the knowledge the Templars
and the Scottish Rite Masons

were professing?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Around 8,000 BC, a
group of sages of gods

introduced a sacred
book to Japan.

The collective
teachings are known

as The Way of Ise, an
odd title because it

appears to be the Japanese name
for the Egyptian divine bride

Isis.

Consisting of 17
[JAPANESE],, or ways,

they embody the rules
for proper conduct

as well as for raising
the latent spirituality

within the practitioner, the
effects of which resulted

in spiritual perfection.

The reward was a
state of inner peace.

It is the earliest
known text that

teaches a person how to embody
a paradisial state of mind.

Prehistoric Japan wasn't
the only place where

these teachings were promoted.

On the other side of the
world, Abydos, for example,

similar knowledge
was transmitted

in a restricted chamber
called the Osirion.

And it was originally
a freestanding temple

beside the Nile.

This Osirion was designed to
mirror the process of creation

itself.

There's a deep moat
that represents

the primordial
waters of the cosmos.

And it surrounds a
large stone platform,

the island of creation,
upon which stands

the sum of all knowledge.

Well, the candidates would
alight from a small boat.

They would walk up
a short staircase.

And they would take instruction
on universal concepts

beginning with the
fundamental principle of how

energy evolves into matter.

And it's represented
here by a rectangle

in the proportion of the Golden
ratio, the mathematical form

behind all organic life.

And beside it, another box
in the shape of a square

symbolizes the balance
of the four elements

that make up the physical world.

Around this platform,
there are 17 chambers.

And each transmitted a
sacred teaching or way.

And their combined
knowledge supports

the ceiling of
the Osirion, which

in turn represents the cosmos.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Around 4,000 BC, the
language of the temple

was taken north to Ireland
where a group of mystics

built the massive double
passage mound at Knowth.

And amid this
ritual environment,

the knowledge was necessary
for the candidates

to achieve spiritual perfection.

And it was conveyed in
each of the 17 mounds.

And once mastered,
they completed training

by entering the central
mounds passageway via the west

at the spring equinox sunset.

And then they spent
an unspecified time

inside the inner chamber
to access a paradisial land

before emerging
reborn in the East.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It appears the same
teachings were practiced

throughout the world by many
interlinked groups of wisdom

keepers.

In Peru, for example,
the ancient city of Cuzco

stands a limestone butte
carved inside and out

with unusual alcoves, and
symbols, and staircases.

And all these
things lead nowhere.

But inside, there's a
chamber resembling a womb.

Prior to entering this
hand-carved chamber,

the initiate arrived in
a preparatory courtyard

surrounded by 17
niches and each one

said to contain a
restricted teaching.

And then they entered
the restricted chamber

to undertake an out-of-body
experience that took them

to a land beyond our world from
which they return perfected

three days later.

Such examples build a
picture of people involved

in search of the
paradisial environment

from which they return
very different from when

they departed.

And that's the difference.

They experience
paradise while alive

and return to this
world to carry on

with their daily affairs.

To get a better sense
of what was going on,

let's add another layer to
the story, the original story

of two people who lived
in one of paradises

original earthly
counterparts This was Adamah

and Havah, otherwise known in
the Western tradition as Adam

and Eve.

In the Hebrew
version of the story,

these two hapless
antediluvian people

are booted out of paradise
and its blissful state.

However, in the once
banned agnostic tradition,

which is far closer to the
original Sumerian account which

itself was copied from an
even more ancient text,

things turned out very different
when Eve was plucking the apple

from the tree.

The serpent in this version
is a benevolent hero,

while the god
portrayed in the story

is not a pleasant
individual at all.

He's very jealous.

He's a shadow god.

And we see this when
the serpent asks

Eve what did God say to you?

Was it to not eat from
the tree of knowledge?

And Eve replies, he said,
not only do not eat from it

but do not touch
it lest you die.

And the serpent reassures
Eve and she says to her,

do not be afraid.

With death, you shall not die
for it was out of jealousy

that he said this to you.

Rather your eyes
shall open and you

shall come to be like gods
recognizing evil and good.

And sure enough,
once she and her Adam

ate from the tree
of knowledge, they

experienced enlightenment
because the knowledge empowered

them to reach spiritual
transfiguration and all

of this while
living in paradise.

And since the original meaning
of paradise is a fertile plain

surrounded by water, clearly
this was a real location.

However, the name
carries a double meaning.

The fertile plain
referred to is a metaphor

of the island of wisdom that
rises above the waters of chaos

like a belly pregnant with the
sum of all information placed

there by the gods.

So in metaphysical
terms, this paradise

illustrates an
environment or dimension

where one is able to access
knowledge at its purest level.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

A talking serpent should
raise anybody's suspicion.

And, indeed, it is the
key to understanding

the story of paradise.

The serpent was,
in fact, a woman,

and her name was Taba'et.

She was the wife of a
god man called Enki.

And they belong to a group of
sages, keepers of knowledge.

And since they understood and
controlled the laws of nature,

they became associated with
the rhythm and flow of energy

which flows like an
invisible serpent.

And hence they're given
title, people of the serpent.

Ultimately, the story of
Adamah and Havah in paradise

describes the self-empowerment
of the individual

for the understanding
of the laws of nature.

Much more so than a tale
of chastisement and sin.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

So far, it appears that
interacting with the state

or place called
Paradise enables access

to specialized information,
spiritual truths,

even the understanding
of celestial mechanics.

Perhaps more because
thousands of years

after the Sumerian account,
the stories and rituals

associated with accessing
a state of bliss

finally reached
the ancient Greeks.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

After their personal involvement
in the mystery schools,

scholars such as
Pythagoras and Plato

provided insights into
what was taking place.

How direct contact
with this other world

involved and induced
near-death experience

inside the secret chamber,
or a box, or a cave,

followed by an
uncomfortable return

back into the physical world.

And they described returning
empowered, convinced

of the soul's immortality.

Even facing the prospect of
physical death without any fear

because they said, we
already experienced paradise

and are therefore free.

[DRAMATIC SOUND]

However, they
weren't free to talk

about the actual experience
because every candidate

undertook a vow of silence.

And in Greece it
was forbidden by law

to discuss the
experience in public.

But they unanimously alluded
to how the experience opened

their eyes to the
mechanics of the universe,

and to the true
nature of the soul.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

One rare account
comes from Plato

himself who describes
his experience

via fictional character in
his book, "Phaedrus" in order

not to betray his vow.

He says, those who are initiated
into the great mysteries

perceive a wondrous light.

Purer regions are reached
and divine visions

inspire a holy awe.

Then the man perfected
and initiated,

free and able to move super
physically without constraint,

celebrates the mysterious.

He sees on Earth the
many who have not

been initiated and purified,
buried in the darkness.

And through fear of death
clinging to their ills for

want of belief in the
happiness of the beyond.

We beheld the beautiful
visions and were

initiated into the mystery which
may be truly called blessed.

Beyond the world of gods
lies a reality with which

true knowledge is concerned.

A reality without
color or shape,

intangible but utterly real.

Plato spent 13 years
in Egypt, long enough

to be acquainted with
the mystical practices

of its temples.

And he points out that
the aim of the seeker

is to become conscious
of the wisdom found only

in this out-of-body
reality while still living.

And to quote Plato
again, true philosophers

make dying their profession.

They are glad to set
out for the place

where there is the
prospect of attaining

the object of their lifelong
desire, which is wisdom.

One will never find
wisdom in all its purity

in any other place.

That's quite a claim.

Not surprisingly, Plato
regarded metaphysics

as one of the highest stages
of personal enlightenment.

To which he added, the shoe
occupation of the philosopher

is to allow the soul to
be released from the body

and run free.

Which apparently, he did.

Plato even admitted
how his participation

in initiation and experience
of a paradisial state

helped shape his
philosophical doctrine.

[OMINOUS SOUNDS]

Another writer offering
a candid description

of his experience in
a paradisial dimension

is the second century
writer, Lucius Apuleius.

He wrote, the high priest
ordered all uninitiated persons

to depart.

Invested in me a new linen
garments and let me by the hand

into the inner recesses
of the sanctuary itself.

I approached the
very gates of death

and set one foot on
Persephone's threshold.

I journeyed through
all of the elements

and yet was permitted to return.

At midnight I saw the sun
shining as if it were noon.

I entered the presence of
the gods of the other world,

stood near, and worshipped them.

Oh, Lucius sums
up his experience

into the paradisial
landscape as reborn

and brought back on the
road of a new blessing.

And people have engaged in
all kinds of strange things

to experience paradise
and particularly in Egypt.

The Valley of the Kings may
be the world's most famous

cemetery.

But one of its earliest
chambers is out of place.

[OMINOUS SOUNDS]

In 1470 BC, Thutmose
III allegedly

had this beautiful underground
chamber made for his burial.

But there are problems
with the story.

First, the tomb contains a well.

Now a dead pharaoh would
hardly have stepped out

of his sarcophagus
and walked upstairs

to take a sip of water.

Secondly, his chamber
faces the Northeast,

which is traditionally
the direction associated

with the acquisition
of ancient wisdom.

Again, redundant
because if you are

dead you already have access
to all the knowledge you want.

And finally, and most
suspicious of all,

Thutmose was buried
on the other side

of the mountain in the
Temple of Hatshepsut,

where he had already built
himself a mortuary temple.

So we have to ask
ourselves, why does

one man need two places
in which to bury himself?

None of this makes
any sense, and we

need a better explanation.

Look carefully and the
answer is all around you.

The so-called tomb is
wrapped with a text

called "The Book of
the Hidden Chamber"

which describes
in intimate detail

the Egyptian
underworld, the Amduat,

how to get there,
and more importantly,

the techniques to help
your soul concentrate

and then return to
your living body.

And it's exemplified in
the following passage:

it is good for the dead
to have this knowledge,

but also for the
person on Earth.

Whoever understands
these mysterious images

is a well-provided light being.

Always this person
can enter and leave

the Amduat, proven to
be true a million times.

Such an experience of
paradise wasn't only reserved

for the privilege.

A servant in the
household of Pharaoh Teti,

wrote about his experience
on his spirit door

after he was favored to join
the pharaoh's inner circle

via a secret ritual.

And the servant
describes his surprise

upon being admitted to master's
secret things of the pharaoh.

And this humble man writes,
"today in the presence of Teti,

son of Ra, more honored by
the pharaoh than any servant

as master of secret
things of every work which

his majesty does.

When his majesty
favored me he caused it.

I entered the chamber
of restricted access."

And of course this man stays
silent about the actual event.

But at the end the grateful
servant joyfully proclaims,

"I found the way."

So here we have a
lowly Egyptian servant

in 2400 BC revealing he has
been privy to the same teaching

found 6,000 years earlier
in prehistoric Japan.

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC]

It's odd how people
who embark on a journey

to a paradisial world, people
such as Odysseus or Osiris

are always chopped up
or they're seriously

inconvenienced or dismembered.

And such tales are
intended as allegories.

The defleshing of the self is
essential for the transition

from physical to ethereal.

Because by shedding
the old self the body

becomes lighter,
allowing the soul

to escape its physical
vessel with greater ease.

And free from
material entrapment,

it wanders at will
in paradise acquiring

the knowledge of the
gods before returning

into a new and improved vessel.

This concept is embodied at a
temple of Ek Balam in Yucatan.

The entrance to the
restricted chamber

is guarded by the mouth
of a monster whose

33 teeth greet the
approaching candidate

and metaphorically devours them.

If you look very
carefully around the mouth

and you'll see seven
sages, each bearing wings.

And these are the teachers.

These are the spirit
guides and they

are called anhel, which may be
a precursor to the word angel.

And the surrounding
panels and their spirals

offer a very vivid picture
of the realm of clouds

into which the candidate
is about to step into.

[DRAMATIC SOUND]

In Persia the celestial paradise
was imitated on the landscape

by paradise gardens.

The essential plan of
these green enclosures

consists of a rectilinear area
based on the golden ratio,

the spiral of life.

16 green spaces surround
the central 17th, a fountain

or pond representing the source
of creation in full flow,

while the water channels
that formed the principle

axes of the garden feed all
points of manifested creation.

These luscious gardens were
planted with fruit bearing

trees, symbolizing the
cosmically inspired wisdom

that any earthly person
is able to pluck.

So these retreats were
allegorical mirrors.

They were created to feed
the thirst of the individual

and assist their emergence
from ignorance, which

was represented by
the sterile desert

beyond the perimeter
of the garden.

The Persians also
provided an understanding

of what paradise really means.

And it lies in the root
of the word itself.

Now in the Middle East,
altering your resonance

was the preferred method by
which consciousness accessed

a place called, Pairi Daeza,
which means a walled enclosure.

Well, if paradise is a walled
enclosure, how does one get in?

In eastern tradition,
an initiate

who raises their
state of godliness

and mastered discipline
over the material world

is called a Jina, and the
root of which means hidden.

Now Jina is also the root of
Jannah, the Islamic concept

of paradise.

And it means a hidden
place beyond the physical.

And its derivative, Janela,
originally meant an opening

into another country.

Let's see what happens
when we connect these dots.

If Pairi Daeza is
a walled enclosure,

a demarcated place beyond
the normal world and Jannah

is paradise, a hidden
place beyond the physical,

then it can be reached through
a window into another country.

Where do we find such windows?

This is where ancient
temples enter the equation.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Sacred texts from
Teotihuacan to Southern India

describes sacred places
as navels of the Earth.

And when you
traverse such navels,

you bring back knowledge
from a paradisial world.

So a place or person who bridges
this meeting between spirit

and matter in turn becomes a
repository of that knowledge.

We have help on this topic
from the Gnostic Gospels

who go a step further.

They describe how an
organization built temples

as a representation of
the spiritual places

in the landscape.

And in doing so,
created an antidote

against forces of darkness that
steered people who follow them

into great trouble, leading them
astray with many deceptions.

And they died not
having found the truth,

and thus they became
enslaved forever

from the foundations
of the world.

Now that's some benefit
and hardly surprising

considering the
ancients knew they

inhabited a universe
where everything is alive,

even the rocks.

So consequently the
temples that they built

consist of the numbers,
the proportions,

that form the very
fabric of the cosmos.

So the number and proportion in
every stone, pillar, entrance,

staircase, or room are designed
to reflect celestial mechanics.

And the point was to open a
gap in the fabric of space

and time, and allow
a person to engage

with the heart of the universe.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

A practical example
of this is Stonehenge.

The megaliths not only
defined the boundary

between profane and sacred
space, but the gaps in between

act as windows into paradise.

How?

Because they mark the flow
into the Temple of water

below the ground, that is by
nature already electrically

charged, in addition to telluric
currents that are attracted

to the center of the site.

Crossing these windows,
the human body's

electromagnetic
field is stimulated,

and it's state of
awareness altered.

In a manner of speaking,
they are entering paradise.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

This relationship between
strategically guided

energy and temples
as passageways

into a parallel
reality is described

in the temples themselves.

One temple in Edfu describes
how a protective zone

was established
around the perimeter

of the mansions of the gods.

So what would the
architects referring to?

Were they employing bouncers
to keep the undeserving away?

Well, it turns out
that the recent study

shows how it is known
that the Earth is

encircled with an
electromagnetic net called

the Hartmann grid.

And readings taken at
sacred sites from Europe

all the way to
Tibet found this net

to be stretched into bands
of 18 geomagnetic lines

around the temples,
in effect behaving

like a protective membrane.

And places like Saqqara,
and Karnak, Luxor,

even the stupas of Tibet
enjoy an immense neutral zone

that allows energy
inside the perimeter

of these domains of
the gods to facilitate

a higher state of awareness.

In another study, a
magnetometer survey

of the Rollright stone
circle in England

shows how one telluric
current is drawn like a spiral

into the circle of stones.

And the intensity of
the geomagnetic field

within the circle was also
found to be significantly lower

than the outside.

So the stones behave
like a shield.

In fact, it has been
discovered that the ditches

around the stone circles
conduct telluric ground current.

They concentrate it and then
release it via the entrance

and often at double the
rate the surrounding land.

Inside the world's largest
stone circle at Avebury,

magnetic readings drop at
night to a far greater level

that can be accounted for
under normal circumstances.

And at sunrise they charge
back with the ground current

from the surrounding land
attracted to the ditch

just as magnetic fluctuations
inside the stone circle

begin to reach their maximum.

The Sioux of North America
refer to this energy as skan.

And where it concentrates it
leads to spiritual attuning.

So that contact with
many places of power

builds up a numinous
state of mind.

Such anomalies in the
local electromagnetic grid

reveal why temples were seen
as living beings that sleep

at night and awaken at dawn.

Another example of a
temple forming a boundary

into paradise is Saqqara.

Inside one of its
adjacent pyramids

there exist a set of
explicit instructions

for accessing the other world.

And includes the
following passage,

seven degrees of
perfection enable passage

from Earth to heaven.

It's as though the phrase
alludes to a threshold that

needs to be crossed from the
physical into the non-physical,

which of course, is
an apt description

of the purpose of the temple.

But why should this require
seven degrees of perfection?

Does the visitor undergo
a kind of purification

before entering this site?

Well, in Egyptian mythology,
the passage into paradise

is made through Sekhet-Aaru,
the field of reeds.

And to reach this
much desired land one

must first pass through
a series of gates.

And at Saqqara, one has to
do just that before entering

the mansion of the gods.

It is a unique passageway.

A column made of
reeds, each bundle

separated by narrow alcoves.

And each alcove discharges an
alternating field of positive

and negatively
charged energy that

serves as an invisible
gate while at the same time

influencing the electromagnetic
circuits of a person walking

into the main compound.

So in other words, it is
a preparatory hallway.

But to what end?

Well, since the temple is a
perfect mirror of creation,

anyone who enters the site with
negative thoughts or emotions

is considered a liability
to this perfect environment.

So to protect the
temple, one must

be mindful before entering
the sacred domain.

And the pyramid
texts refer to this

as mastering the
self before crossing

the threshold of each gate.

It seems that each alternating
charge along the passageway

is helping you dispel
negative emotions.

And the fact that there
exists seven positive charges

appears to explain those seven
degrees of perfection mentioned

in the text.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The idea of seven protective
gates is not unique to Saqqara.

In Ireland, the upright
stones forming the passageway

of Newgrange are arranged
so that their magnetic poles

generate exactly seven
positive charges either side

of the passage.

This practice of protecting
the energetic core

of a sacred space continued
into the 12th century,

when the Cistercian
monks and the Templars

built the present
cathedral of Chartres.

Well, the town of
Chartres itself

had already been the site of
mystery schools dating back

to at least the time
of the druids who

used to hold their
ecumenical council

around a Neolithic
stone circle or a mound.

And this has since
been incorporated

into the foundation of
successive churches.

So the present
cathedral actually

betrays the true age of the site
because the summer solstice now

rises several degrees off axis.

But back in 4000 BC
the shaft of sunlight

would have shone through.

The cathedral's
location, its dimensions,

its architectural features also
referenced underground water

courses which generate a
natural electrical current

as they percolate
through the limestone.

And then it goes there's the
main telluric current flowing

down the nave.

And all of these
forces congregate

above the original mound.

But to access the area
protecting the present altar,

one must first cross
seven bands of energy.

Those seven gates that allow
passage from the physical

into a state of bliss.

So it's not by accident that
this spot is called, the altar.

No doubt ancient
people discern places

on the land that are
energetically different.

Aboriginal people refer to
them as increase centers.

And correct use of ritual
enables an interaction

with a life force
that propels the soul

towards a state of ecstasy.

It allows a person to be
free of limitations imposed

by the material world,
and constant interaction

with sacred places
provides insights.

So the more apples you pick the
easier one reaches paradise.

People often travel
great distances

expecting to see exceptional
buildings at such locations.

But often there are none
because in remote times,

people sensed the invisible
much more readily.

And so man-made structures
were unnecessary.

The energy was what
it was all about.

So in a matter of
speaking, the people

who sought these hot spots
were following the advice

given in ancient texts
such as the "Vedas" which

refer to a specialized
knowledge being accessible

at carefully chosen locations
throughout the planet.

Each one protected by a
deity to whom was entrusted

a specific aspect of nature.

But as we began to forget how
to see or feel these hot spots,

these invisible
libraries were marked,

sometimes by a humble
standing stone.

And around the
Mediterranean this

was called a Betil, which
means a house of god.

Now clearly one upright stone
does not resemble a residence,

so the term must be
referring to the monolith

as a repository
of a creative life

force which of course, is the
original meaning behind a god.

Despite its simple appearance,
a humble standing stone

can be deceptively powerful.

Hundreds of
documented cases tell

of people, doubters
in particular,

receiving an electrical
shock after touching

a monolith whose energy has
not been grounded in some time.

Because of the amount of quartz
and other conductive minerals

in the stone, the piezo-electric
properties of these monoliths

enables them to accumulate
ground current which is then

stored like a giant battery.

Which brings us to
a larger inquiry,

are these access points into
paradise haphazard or were they

planned?

Were they part of
a bigger picture?

Because surviving Tamil
texts also pointed

temples and other sacred
sites being deliberately built

as a kind of insurance policy.

Or as one Egyptian text
puts it and I quote,

whosoever shall make a
copy of a natural temple

and make it so
upon the Earth, it

shall act as a magical
protector for them

in heaven and in
Earth, unfailingly,

and regularly, and eternally.

Ancient architects recognized
how easily ordinary people are

seduced by
self-defeating impulses

and lose direction in
their earthly life.

These sages understood
the relationship

between subtle energy, the
temple, and the balanced

outlook of the individual.

An ongoing project to study
sites of remote antiquity

has discovered how an
interconnected group of gods

once established a global
network of sacred sites

where anyone can access
paradise while still on Earth.

If lines of longitude are
drawn on the world map

based on numbers unique
to the pentagram which

is the geometry
of living things,

and technically
includes the Earth,

then plot the location of some
of the oldest sacred places,

a grid of power places
becomes quite apparent.

And certainly this plan was
known among esoteric schools

right up to the medieval era.

It was even referred
to as the great work

and it's an ongoing project
that has been maintained

and promulgated by successive
groups of initiates.

And it's still a play
to this very day.

To demonstrate this
theory, let's start

in a suburb of Cairo
called Heliopolis.

There are few reminders
of this location

having once been the oldest
academy in Egypt in 10400 BC.

And it was originally
called Iunu.

The sacred mound on
the Nile represented

the original primordial
mound into which

was deposited the sum
of all the knowledge

for the elevation of humanity.

So if we take the
pentagonal angle 108 degrees

and travel west
from Iunu, we arrive

at the capital of a new republic
founded by a group of Scottish

Rite Freemasons.

And their aim was to further
the principles of enlightenment

and liberty of the
individual as practiced

by their predecessors,
the Knights Templar.

And 12,000 years before them at
Iunu, a group of divine people

called the Shining Ones,
followers of Horus.

The exact spot of this
modern correspondence

is marked by the Dome of the
Capitol in Washington DC.

This may be the last
place one would expect

to experience
paradise and yet this

was according to Thomas
Jefferson, one of its founders,

to be the first temple
dedicated to the sovereignty

of the people.

And certainly it was a noble
ideal but stripped down

to its basics, these
architects of this new Republic

were working with
nothing more than energy.

And energy doesn't care
about right or wrong,

it is simply energy.

But it's the intent that defines
whether this energy is directed

to right action or not.

And just like the
ancient temples,

the Capitol building
is not a lone entity.

It is part of a larger
mechanism that strategically

links various
locations to create

an influential
energetic environment.

So in essence, the blueprint
behind Washington DC

enabled the site to function
as a landscape temple.

Just like Paris before
it, which itself

is based on the blueprint
of Thebes in Egypt.

And by way of
demonstration, the obelisk,

that is the Washington
Monument forms

a right angled triangle
with the White House

and the Dome of the Capitol.

An ancient teachings
refer to this relationship

as a triple step of Vishnu.

A technique used
thousands of years

ago to link like sighted
minds across the land

by the power inherent in the
geometry of the triangle,

the geometry that binds together
every atom and molecule.

And then there's
the relationship

between true North, the Lincoln
Memorial and the White House

which generates the Great
Pyramid angle of 51.49 degrees.

In metaphysics, this
is the creative process

behind the conscious universe.

But to top it all, the
center of the Pentagon

relative to the White
House and the Capitol

forms the angle 32.72, known
to structural engineers

as the angle of repose.

And in esoterica as
the angle of gravity.

At this highest of
teachings involves

the understanding and
control of gravity so as

to allow the soul to leave the
body consciously and access

paradise at will.

It was the ultimate
teaching during initiation

and its practitioners
were prepared

to protect this information
with their lives

rather than reveal
it to the unsavory.

Something that the Knights
Templar demonstrated quite well

when they were burnt alive.

So if 32.72 became enshrined in
that well-known masonic ritual,

the 33rd degree.

Whether you were a
Templar Knight vowing

to discover the
joys of paradise,

or an Essene following
the way, or an initiate

at Chichen Itza
picking the fruit

from the tree of knowledge
so elegantly carved

at the entrance
to its ball court,

the journey into paradise
was marked by a marriage

to a divine bride.

Why?

Because the sum of
all universal wisdom

and the expansive
qualities it develops

in the self was embodied
in the regenerative

and fertilizing qualities
inherent in a divine woman.

Such qualities were
portrayed in Seshat,

the goddess of sacred
buildings, the woman

with a seven-petal flower
rising from her soul;

its geometry synonymous
with the Great Pyramid

and the fundamental
forces of creation.

So when Freemasons in
the 19th century Paris

gifted an emerging Republic
across the Atlantic

with another divine woman
with seven rays beaming

from her soul, it was a reminder
to follow the path of wisdom.

Which as Plato reminds us can
only be found in all its purity

in paradise.

Only then can we hope to
attain liberty from ignorance.
