- OUR LEGACY BEQUEATHED BY GODS.
Written traditions such as the Edfu Building Texts inform us how groups of sages and creator gods embarked on temple-building programs at carefully chosen locations in the aftermath of a global flood.
Tales of traveling gods escaping a global deluge underscore the myths in practically every culture, and they regularly appear in groups of seven. In the Indian Vedas seven sages are said to have come from an island, “the home of the primeval ones” destroyed in a great flood. The few survivors became builder gods, the lords of light.” With them came the principle of maintaining indefinitely a society in perfect balance with itself and with the universe through earthly and cosmic balance.3
They are called temples. Pyramids, stone circles, menhirs, dolmens, sanctuaries and mounds. Regardless of their shape and size, they all were built by faceless experts from forgotten ages to the same end: to act as mirrors of the heavens so that ordinary men and women may be transformed into gods.
Texts discovered at Nag Hammadi stipulate how leading away from such spiritual places caused people to die not knowing the truth, never understanding the Source or why they are here, deceived by darkness and ignorance.
This is a unique insight, a behind-the-scenes look into the mind and soul of temple-building: why these “special chosen locations” are so; how ordinary landscapes were transformed into places of power; and the seven principles that master craftsmen combined to transform mere stones and subtle forces into sacred environments.
Because temples are living organisms that amplify the human potential, the laws that govern them have been used and misused throughout history.
The secrets of the temple have been quietly handed down among esoteric societies such as the Cathars, Bogomils and Manicheists, later to be rediscovered by the Knights Templar during their excavations of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. The majority of these sects died horrifically at the hands of despots and brutal clergymen. Rather than give up timeless secrets, initiates took them to the grave. It is now time for the lost knowledge of temple-building to resurface. Like any sacred space, the idea behind this book is to let you enter as an initiate and re-emerge an adept.
