- Sacred mistletoe, the yew tree and the thorn - and
these, Underwood finds, are invariably to be found
growing over a blind spring or at a centre of
magnetic influence.
- Migrating birds follow lines of magnetic current; so
do animals and insects.
- Where, as at Stonehenge, stones have fallen or moved
from their original position, the current has shifted with them.
- The phenomenon, described by Victorian scientists as
the Ether, now considered rather as a manifestation
of the relationship between space and time, has the
same identity as that force through which magicians
attempted to produce physical effects by means of
mental and specific ritual processes.
- Levi: A universal plastic mediator, a common
receptacle of the vibrationsof motion and the
images of forms, a fluid and a force, which may
be called in some way the Imagination of Nature.
The existence of this force is the great Arcanum
of practical Magic.
- Greatest writers: Paracelsus, Cornelius Agrippa and
Robert Fludd, and the medieval alchemists.
- Each branch of science calls the force by a
different name.
- The astral light or, in Reich's account, the orgone
force provides the medium through which the
vibrations of electro-magnetic waves become manifest
as sound or matter.
- It both creates the universe of which we are aware
and also determines the ways in which we perceive
it. - The thread which connects the living with the
world of the dead. - The pervading flow with which
at death the spirit becomes merged.
- The ritual of exorcism is a holdover from the Druids
- The practice of human sacrifice flourished in the
ruins of the universal civilization.
- The spirit at physical death reenters the life
essence from which it came and, unless released onto
a higher plane of existence, merges with the
terrestrial current, seeking the occasion of rebirth.
- the springs, wells and fissures from which it issues
- Stones and mounds provided channels for the
spiritual irrigation of the countryside.
- Rough places were made smooth that the stream might
run without violent haste.
- Along the lines above the springs of energy
accumulation chambers, buried within mounds.
- These upright stones were essential to the Great
Work of alchemy, which form the climax of all
prehistoric ritual, the introduction of solar or
atmospheric energy into the terrestrial life current.
- Flashes of lightning have an effect on the nitrates
of the earth, through which they can be absorbed by
plants, thus ensuring the seasonal return of
fertility. - For if there is no lightning, the
earth becomes barren.
- Black or sour streams can be purified by driving
metal stakes into the earth above the course.
- The vital current which animates the human body is
the same as that which flows through the veins of
the earth. (Electricity)
- Sunlight purifies a running stream of water.
- Stone pillars, through their living quartz or metallic
content, unite heaven and earth, in the same way as
does a living tree.
- Totems or Maypoles erected over a buried spring, had
the same effect. (Phallic symbol)
- An iron stake works for modern geomancers.
- Crossroads, often coinciding with such centres were
traditionally selected for the burial and staking of
a vampire - victim of an accumulation of dead energy.
- The earth is slowly dying of poison.
- Since, on the authority of the greatest
philosophers, every idea or proposal creates an
opposing action of equal strength to its own, the
solution must lie in some realization that
transcends human agreement.
- Through the rediscovery of access to divine law,
revealed in the processes of natural growth and
movement, the principles of true spiritual science
may be re-established.
- The ether is: Responsive both to the human
imagination and to certain stimuli - it will
provide the medium of restoration.
- (Even the great Isaac Newton dismissed his massive
scientific achievements as trifling, convinced that
eventually the world would honor his Biblical
researches.)
- The linear arrangement of ancient monuments in North
America had been recorded by William Pigeon in a
book published in 1858, "Traditions of De-Coo-Dah".-
He kept a store on the Little Miami River, Ohio.
He excavated many of their mounds.
- One ley west of the Mississippi stretched for over
sixty miles.
P99 - Points where the alignments were intersected by
others were marked by peculiarly shaped earthworks
in the form of human or animal groups.
- We need to alter the social structure.
- Pigeon: The linear ranges were designed as and
constructed for national or international landmarks
and boundaries.
- Turkey River range of linear mounds had 76
earthworks, and 449 mounds; more than 900 miles
were covered.
- Rock-heaps: It appears that these rude signposts
lead either to water or places that show traces of
a former watercourse.
- The mysterious ritual centres of the Pueblo culture
in New Mexico, archeologists aided by air survey are
discovering vast prehistoric networks of "old
straight tracks" in the form of paved roads.
- These "roads" are centered on the ancient Mexican
ceremonial city of Teotihuacan to central and North
America.
- Harleston Jr. also discovered their unit of measure.
- Book: Morrison in "Pathways to the Gods" told of
South America's straight tracks. He tells of the
seventeenth century Jesuit, Father Cobo, who tells
of forty-two caques or lines that center on Cuzco's
Temple of the Sun.
- Book: Metraux wrote in 1932 about the leys of
Bolivia.
- Bolivia's Aymara Indians tell of god-like men,
before the Incas, called Biracochas - who spread the
word, and the paths.
- Japan Shinto temples are sited on long alignments
for an esoteric purpose.
- Book: "Archaic Tracks Around Cambridge".
- The pilgrims who walk the leys find Earth, Wind,
Fire, and Water.
- Auden's poem "The Old Man's Road": When a light
subsoil, a simple ore. - Now with green lamp-posts
and white curd, The smart Crescent of a high-toned
suburb. Unlookable for, by logic, by guess: Yet
some strike it, and are struck fearless. So in
summer sometimes, without hindrance - and in youth
in spring - Trots by after a new excitement, His
true self, hot on the scent. So cannot act as if
they knew: Assuming a freedom its Powers deny,
Denying its Powers, they pass freely.
- Ancients emphasized the aspect of numbers: Its
structure and symbolism.
- Number was thus regarded as the first archetype or
paradigm of nature.
- Seek out the patterns in number which correspond to
those in nature.
- Egyptian priests taught the sacred canon of number
and proportion. The same numerical canon was once
possessed by civilizations world-wide.
- Numbers were discussed by Pythagoras, and also in
Plato's "Laws".
- The intervals of music, the ratios of geometry,
astronomical periods, and the cycles of time. - The
numerical patterns to which they conformed were also
somehow inherent in the structure of the human mind.
P122- Plato in "Timaeus": The sight of day and night, of
months and the revolving years, of equinox and
sunset, has caused the invention of number.
- Music has the most direct effect on human emotions.-
It can be used to manipulate people.
- The Orphean bards, were said to legislate through
music alone.
- As Plato observed, changes in government are brought
about by changes in music.
- The universe seen as a single organism. The number
one, which is unique among integers as being
indivisible and as containing and generating all
other numbers.
- We are linked to the greater body through the
seasons and cycles common to both and through
natural sympathy between their corresponding parts.
- This is now called magic.
- Among them are the principles of dynamic equilibrium
and fusion, by which opposite tendencies are
reconciled, and the ordering principle of "like
attracts like" which underlies the phenomenon of
coincidence.
P123- An example of a canonical number is 5040, which has
more factors for its size than any other, is the
product of the first seven numbers multiplied
together, and is divisible by every number up to ten.
Plato said there were 5040 citizens of Magnesia. -
And in effect it represents the radius of that city.
5040 feet is also the value of the short Greek mile.
- Dr. Ernest McClain, the Pythagorean musicologist, in
the first of his two books listed here - (which
should be in the library of every serious student of
this subject), show that 5040 is of necessity the
top note of the octave in the musical scale which
Plato conceals.
- A number series prominent in the ancient canon are
the powers and multiples of six (36, 216, 864, 1296)
and of twelve (144, 1728, 20736); the multiples of
thirty-seven; and 666 - and also certain nodal
numbers which stand in geometric ratios with the main
canonical numbers and link the various system of
numeration.
- Music in the ancient world was intimately related to
measure, the lengths of strings and of wind
instruments representing certain measuring units. -
who also planned the proportions of their buildings
by the ratios of canonical music.
- The chief object for which a temple was built was to
attract the gods or forces in nature to which it was
dedicated. - Sympathetic resonance or like attracts
like.
- Music: These, by resonance, were inclined to invoke
corresponding harmonies in the human soul.
P124- Temples: It was orientated according to the season
and the heavenly body corresponding to that deity,
whose characteristic numbers were also expressed in
the dimensions of the building. They represented
certain aspects of universal energy. - They were
effective in invoking that energy.
- Magic squares: In which are encodified certain
numbers of reputed magical potency. Among them
are the numbers found prominent in the plans of
ancient temples.
- Become aware of particular numbers which recur
constantly in different systems of both numeration
and natural phenomena, providing subtle and
unexpected links.
- The basic patterns of creation are made up of
limited groups of number.
- Newton understood that the units of measure in the
Temple at Jerusalem and the Egyptian Pyramids
represented accurate geodetic fractions.
- The Jewish "sacred cubit", reputed to be a six-
millionth part of the earth's polar radius.
- Newton: Accepted that the standards of ancient
science were higher than the modern.
- Metrology, or units of measure
- All the ancient units relate to each other, and to
the dimensions of the earth.
- The ratio between the Roman and the Greek units was
24:25.
- Circumference through the poles computed from
ancient units (one minute of latitude) is 24883.2
miles.
- All these multiples are canonical numbers,
representing powers and multiples of the number
twelve.
P127- Michell hints that Stonehenge is Jewish, using
their long units.
- Stonehenge: Had 30 sarsen uprights, and 30 lintels.
The inner lintel diameter is 97.325 feet, or more
accurately 97.32096 feet.
- 1 Sacred Rod = 3.4757485 feet

- The circumference of the equater relates to the mean
as 1261:1260.
- One degree of equatorial longitude, measures,
365,243.22 feet. - reference to the 365.242 days in
a year.
- 25,920 years = the Great Year in which the sun
completes its passage through the Zodiac.
- This 25920 divided by 12 = 2160 years per sign.
- 1,296,000 years = Treta Yuga
- 8,640,000,000 years = 1 night and day of Brahma
- At the equater one degree contains the same number
of feet as there are days in 1000 years.
- The use of the meter and the metric system is
discouraged because the French were in error in
their metrology.
- Eratosthenes of the third century BC, was Keeper of
the Library at Alexandria. He was so devoted to
study that when his eyesight failed he simply sat at
his desk until he starved. He correctly gave the
mean circumference of the Earth as 252,000 stades.
(Stade = 521.36277) ?
- The well at Syene (Aswan) was 5040 stades from
Alexandria. (7 degrees 12 minutes)
- The Pyramid of Cheop's dimensions have some special
significance. The white marble casing stones were
said to have been engraved with letters and symbols
expressing the entire knowledge of antiquity.
- Great Pyramid: Its inner King's Chamber was air
conditions by vents. - Ideal standard for measures
- It was found to stand almost at latitude 30 degrees
north, right on the line between the earth's two
poles which crosses more land and less water than
any other, and at the apex of a quadrant of a circle
neatly containing the curve of the Nile Delta.
- The angle of slope of the Great Pyramid is 51
degrees and 51 minutes.
- The height represented the radius of a circle.
- Its dimensions in proportion to the size, shape, and
weight of the earth, and to the distances between
the planets. - Also in the pyramid he (Smyth) found
references to measurment of time in relation to
distance.
- Smyth confirms Cayce by saying: The various links
of its inner passages were designed to record
episodes of sacred history and prophecies for
times to come. (1998) - Interpreted by the Pyramid
Inch equals 1.001 of our inches. (Herschel)
- Smyth was ernestly religious which made the book an
easy target for reviewers wit.
- Book: "Our Inheritance In The Great Pyramid", by
Smyth.
- Flinders Petrie, a noted archeologist, also measured
Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid.
- J. H. Cole measured and wrote of the Great Pyramid
in 1925.
- G. P. is at 30 degrees north latitude, and 31
degrees east longitude.
- Book: Tompkin's "Secrets of the Great Pyramid",
1971 - summarizing the entire history of pyramid
exploration.
- G.P.: The pavement surrounding it and the grooves
or sockets therein which may indicate the positions
of retaining slabs for cornerstones at the pyramid's
angles.
- Each side of G. P. was meant to equal 756 feet.
- The height of G. P. was reckoned 481.0909 feet.
- If the angle was less at 51 degrees 49 minutes 38
seconds, it would represent the theta angle - used
by mathematicians to represent the ratio of the
"Golden Section". It occurs in mathematics as the
interval between the numbers in the Fibonacci series
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 - obtained by adding 1 to the
square root of 5 and dividing the sum by 2.
- Sunflower: Whose seeds are arranged on the head in
spirals, each spiral containing about 4 times more
seeds than the one inside it.
- Pyramidion, a miniature form of the pyramid itself,
which provided its apex. - Made of gold or some
other metal. (Cayce's capstone)
- Tompkins and Stecchini quote a reference by a second
century BC Greek writer, Agatharchides of Cnidus, to
a pyramidion at the apex of the Great Pyramid.
- The Greek stade equals a tenth part of a minute of
latitude, or a six-hundredth part of a degree.
- Herodotus: The surface area of each triangle face
is equal to the square on the height. 8 acres
P147- There were slight variations in length of side and
angle of slope at each of the pyramid's four sides.-
A line scored on the pavement at about the centre
of the north face, as if to mark the pyramids north-
south axis. - Being about 2.7 inches nearer to the
north west - allowing for 8 separate sets of
dimensions.
- The Pyramidion's height was 2.7322078 feet. The
Apothem = 3.4757485 feet (1/6,000,000)
- The possible function of the Great Pyramid as an
accumulator and transformer of cosmic energies.
- The idea certainly accords with the traditional use
of the Pyramid in connection with initiation, magic
and mysticism, and it is supported by the occurrence
of symbolic or magical number series in its
dimensions.
- He interpreted the collapse of the present
civilization in about the year AD 2004, followed
some 30 years later by the Messianic return. -
is the time when the stone that the builders
rejected, the missing capstone on the Pyramid. (???)
- Five is the number chiefly associated with the
pyramid form, which has five faces and five corners.
- The grain of mustard, which grows up into the Tree
of Life encompassing the whole universe.
- The dimensions imply that the capstone consisted of
a succession of diminishing pyramidions. - with the
small gold pyramid, five cubic inches volume - It
must itself have a separate tip. - This tiny object,
set in gold, could only have been some form of
crystal.
- Esoteric traditions about the use of crystals in the
ancient world for attracting and transmitting cosmic
energies are echoed by modern seers, such as the
well-known "Sleeping Prophet" of America, Edgar
Cayce.
- The capstone, is given by a strange hieroglyph which
shows a truncated pyramid topped by a staff or
gnomon.
- The mathematical laws to which all natural growth
conforms - logarithmic spirals - seashells and
ammonites - pentagon of a rose - the hexagon
- Fire, the first element, with the first figure of
solid geometry, the tetrahedron, in whose formation
the element called fire was considered to have the
greatest influence.
- Plato: The form of a pyramid shall be the element
and seed of fire.
- The seed of fire was represented by the seed of the
mustard plant.
- The solar spark, the element of fire by which the
essence is fertilized.
- Old languages: Letters served also as numbers -
making it possible to find the numerical value of
any word or phrase by adding up the numbers of the
letters. (M = 40, I = 10, K = 20, E = 5)
- This science, known as Gematria was related to
music, which was governed by the same numerical
canon, for both sacred music and sacred words were
used for invocations, the efficacy of which depended
on pitch and vibrational frequency of sound. The
numbers refered to the musical tones of the building.
P155- Many passages and whole books in the New Testament
are susceptible to numerical interpretation.
- St. Irenaeus gave 365 to the god Abraxas, - Jesus,
known to Gnostics as the Ogdoad, because his number
was 888. (Other sources give 1010.)
- 666: Signifies the positive or active charge of
solar energy, associated with rule by tyrant or
emperor, while 1080 represents the opposite and
complementary principle in nature, its negative,
receptive side, associated with the mystic's moon,
its influence on the waters within the earth and
human imagination - prophecy and intuition.
- 1080 = radius of the moon in miles
108 = atomic weight of silver
108 = number of beads on the Hindu or Buddhist
rosary.
- 1080 is yin; 666 is solar and yang
- The esoteric meaning of the (Greek phrase), "a grain
of mustard seed"; for the sum of the letters
comprising that term is 1746 - the sum of the numbers
666 and 1080. It is in fact the "number of fusion".
- Also 1746 is found in "the Holy Spirit", and of
"Cocytos, a god of the abyss".
P156- The operations of the medieval alchemists were the
last flickerings of a scientific tradition which
flourished in prehistoric times, when the elements
of sulphur and mercury were brought to fusion, not
merely in an alchemist's retort but on a far grander
scale within the great retort or womb of the earth
itself.
- The element of mercury in this operation was
represented by the spirit of the earth, which was
ceremonially wedded at certain seasons with the
sulphurous element, radiating from the sun.
- (I disagree with Michell's interpretation. I think
the mercury represented the spiritual force of man.
There are other interpretations of sulphur also.)
- Solomon's Temple: The chthonic mysteries of the
earth goddess were celebrated in vaults below the
Temple, into which ran metal rods, connected to
golden spires on the temples roof. By these the
positive charge of atmospheric electricity was
introduced into the veins of water.
