"...initiates of the 'physica  et mystica ,' they were in the main great alchemists"
"...Alchemy :transmuting into gold, the philosophers stone, aurum potabile ."
"In the popular mind, yes. More informedly put, it was purifi-cation, refinement,metamorphosis,
transubstantiation ,into a higher state , of course; the lapis philosophorum, the male female product
of sulphur and mercury,the res bina,the double-sexed prima ma-teria was no more ,and no less, than
the principle of levitation, of the upward impulse due to the working of influences from with-out.
Instruction in magic if you like."

" The primary symbol of alchemic transmutation "
"was par exellence the sepulchre." "The grave? " "Yes, the place of corruption .It comprehends all hermetics, all alchemy, it is nothing else than  the  receptacle, the well - guarded crystal retort wherein the material is compressed to its final trans-formation and purification."

"Sound, of course, is a vibration that can be conducted only through an elastic medium; it cannot travel through a vac-uum. Electromagnetic waves do travel through free space, and we know far less about factors governing their resonance. There is however, one quite extraordinary piece of evidence which  suggests that shape could be important in receiving even cosmic stimuli. It comes from those favourites of mystics throughout the ages-the pyramids of Egypt.
'The most celebrated are those at Giza built during the fourth.dynasty of which the largest is the one that housed the pharaoh Khufu, better known as Cheops. This is now called the Great Pyramid Some years ago it was visited by a
French-man  named Bovis, who took refuge from the midday sun in the pharaoh's chamber, which is situated at the center of the pyramid, exactly one third of the way up from the base He found it unusually humid there,but what really surprised / him were the garbage cans that contained, among the usual  tourist litter,the bodies of a dead cat and some small desert animals that had wandered into the pyramid and died there. Despite the humidity none of them had decayed but just dried out like mummies. He began to wonder whether the pharaohs had really been so carefully embalmed by their subjects after all, or whether there was something about the pyramids themselves that preserved bodies in a mummified condition. Bovis made an accurate scale model of the Cheops pyramid and placed it like the original with the base lines,facing precisely north-south east-west. Inside the model one third of the way up, he put a dead cat. It became mummified and he concluded that the pyramid promoted rapid dehy-dration.
Reports of this discovery attracted the attention of Karel Drbal, a radio engineer in Prague, who repeated the experiment with several dead animals and concluded, " There is a relation between the shape of the space inside the pyramid and the physical and biological processes going on inside that space. By using suitable  forms and shapes,
We should be able to make processes occur faster or delay them." Note 233

"...We can only guess that the Great Pyramid and its little imitations acts as lenses that focus en-ergy or as resonaters that collect energy,..."

"Hermetics - what a lovely word "
"...It sounds like magiking,and has all sorts of vague and extended associations .You must excuse my speaking of such a thing but it reminds me of the conserve jars that our housekeeper ..."
"...keeps in her larder. She has rows of them on her shelves, air-tight glasses full of fruit and meat and all sorts of things. They stand there maybe a whole year-you open them as you need them and the contents are as fresh as on the day they were put up, you can eat them just as they are.To be sure, that isn't alchemy or purification, it is simply conserving , hence the word conserve.The magic part of it lies in the fact that the stuff that is conserved is withdrawn from the effects of time, It is her-metically sealed from time, time passes it by, it stand there on its shelf shut away from time."

"Before embarking upon the psychological commentary, I should like to say a few words about the text itself.
The Tibetan Book of the Dead, or the Bardo Thodol, is a book of instructions for the dead and dying.
Like The Egyptian Book of the Dead, it is meant to be a guide for the dead man during the period of his Bardo
Existence, symbolically described as an intermediate state of  forty-nine days duration between death and rebirth."

"...the holy trinity of the Osirian religion. This consisted of Osiris the father, Horus the son, and Thoth the God of wisdom and communication. Closely associated with this trinity were Isis or Hathor, wife and sister of
Osiris and mother of Horus,her sister Nepthys, and the jackal- headed Anubis, son of Nepthys and god of funerals who conducted the souls of the dead  to the judgement hall below. The second and third persons of the trinity, Horus and Thoth, were both bird-headed gods, the first s falcon and the second an ibis.   According to one version of the popular myth, Osiris, was a tall dark man who came with Isis from a far country and taught the people the arts of civilization. He carried a sceptre, and they made him their king. He showed them how to plough and irrigate the soil, to measure the land and the seasons of the year, to lay out, and build towns, to heal the sick, to make music, and many other arts, while Isis taught them how to cook and weave and sow, and other feminine skills.  Osiris and Isis entered  the Nile valley high up the river near the modern town of Luxor, and there they founded the city of Thebes, which became the capital of the kingdom of Upper Egypt. Osiris was the first king of Upper Egypt, but he did not reign forever in peace.  Twice he was killed by his wicked brother Seth who  

/ Page 35  /

was jealous of his power. On the first occasion Seth shut him up in a box and sent him to drift down the Nile out to sea. The second time, he cut the king's body into pieces and buried them in different places all over Egypt. On each occasion Osiris was brought back to life by the devotion and magic powers of Isis. After the second murder Horus, now grown up, avenged his father's death by defeating  Seth in a long and bloody battle. Horus then reigned in his father's place while Osiris descended to the underworld to become judge to the dead.
 
Transposing the this n that of those come hither words the very far yonder scribe to give credit where credit were due writ, defeating by death.
Osiris and Isis, embraced their brother Set with such wonderous expression of reciprocal loving tenderness that such, still, has to be seen to be believed.
 
Page 35 continued

Throughout Egyptian history Osiris was feared and worshipped as the perfectly just judge before whom every man and woman had to stand at death to receive sentence of the punishments and rewards that were due to them for their deeds in life.
Sir James Frazer in his monumental work on mythodology, The Golden Bough, identified Osiris with the primitive corn-god or god of crop fertility. The story of Osiris' resurrection was, he said, in-timately connected with the annual revival of vegetation; from that story the Egyptians derived their own hope of life after death. 'In laying their dead in the grave they committed them to his keeping who could raise them from the dust to life eternal, even as he caused the seed to spring from the ground. Of that faith the corn-stuffed effigies of Osiris found in Egyptian tombs furnish an eloquent and unequivocal testimony. Thet were at once an emblem and an in-sstrument of resurrection. Thus from the sprouting of the grain the ancient Egyptians drew an augury of human immortality. Note 3    Modern scholarship has added considerably to our knowledge since Frazer's day. The late professor W.B. Emery said that the Osirian cult, 'although having characteristics of nature worship, was primarily the worship of dead Kingship, and the myth of Osiris seems to be an echo of long forgotten events which actually took place'. Note 4  
     On this interpretation it is reasonable to identify the legendary King Osiris with the original pioneer of the infiltrating movement of settlers of the 'dynastic' race into the Nile valley from the east"

         3 x 6 = 18
           1 + 8 = 9
              3 + 6 = 9  

That Osiris' motives were largely religious may be inferred from the legend itself. He was a just man, and he taught the natives that justice was eternal: evil deeds that went unpunished in this life would be punished in the next, and good deeds rewarded. This can be recognised today as the doctrine of karma that lies at the heart of the Hindu religion, the oldest religion in the world, whence it was inherited by Buddhism. It may be described as the doctrine of 'psychogenic evolution' according to which the present state of every sentient being is determined by the quality of its own past actions including actions in past lives. The effects of these actions manifest themselves automatically, for better or for worse, in the body and in the mind through the continuous cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, or perpetual reincarnation.    The lessons that were drawn from this Hindu doctrine by the lamas of Tibet are incorporated in the Bardo Thodol or Tibetan Book of the Dead.  This is a treatise based essentially  on the Occult Sciences of the Yoga philosophy and constitutes 'an epitomised exposition of the cardinal doctrines of the Mahayana School of Buddhism' note 5 It bears such a remarkable resemblance to the Egyptian Book of the dead as to suggest that there was some ultimate cultural relationship between the two. The Tibetan book was compiled by Padma Sambhava, 'the Precious Guru', of Tibetan Lamaism, who had been a Professor of Yoga in the Buddhist University of Nalander in India in the eighth century A.D; but much of its contents is known to be many centuries older, being pre-Buddhist in origin The Egyptian book was presumably the work of priests of the Osirian religion and dates back to the old Kingdom.     The similarity between the two books is particularly noticeable in regard to their doctrines of the Judgment and in the funeral rites they prescribe for the purpose of assisting the deceased to pass successfully through his ordeal. Both treaties are,
in effect, 'nothing more than guide- books for the traveller in the realm beyond death' note 6
    The conclusion that Egyptian and Indian beliefs and rituals stemmed from a common origin is consistent with the widely held 'diffusionist' theory that civilisation began with an explosion of ideas in the Euphrates valley and spread outwards from there. note 7 The biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden may well be a distant echo of that first civilisation,
dating back perhaps as far back as the fifth millennium BC. In that case Adam, the 'first man' of the book of Genesis would be the same as Atum the god-king and 'first man' of the Egyptian myth whose image, as we have seen, is supposed to be incorporated in the head of the Great Sphinx as symbolic of resurrection from death.

" The earliest known civilizations occupied four river valleys: the Euphrates, the Nile, the Indus, and the yellow River. There is evidence that all four were governed by ruling castes of mathe-maticians, for geodesy and astronomy figured prominently among their activities. It is reasonable to infer that 'Adam' or Atum or 'Atum' was the name by which the first king and founder of the first civilisation was known, and that he was the mathematical genius who discovered the principle of trigonometry and thereby made possible the develop-ment of the three basic techniques of civilization: land survey, architecture, and engineering. All these techniques depend on the art of drawing to scale; and drawing to scale depends in turn on know-ledge of the geometrical properties of triangles. The drama of civilisation could never have begun if the stage had not first been lit by a mathematician. Note 8
      The precise meaning of the name'Atum' in Egyptian is not certain, but it appears to be connected with the idea of 'completion' or 'perfection'. It would thus be a suitable name for a newly-born race of mathematicians to apply to their famous progenitor whose birth marks the culminating point in the evolution of the human intellect.
     The connection between Atum and the concept of re-birth or resurrection could have arisen from the founder having also taught, like the mathematician Pythagoras, the doctrine of reincarnation. That doctrine, with its concomitant idea of after life justice, or karma, would then naturally have been spread abroad, along with the technological ideas of the growing civilisation, by explorers and missionaries such as we imagine the legendary Osiris to have been; and this would account for the similarity between the Egyptian and the Indian religious belief and practices.
     Be that as it may, what concerns us here is that the worship of Osiris in Egypt was founded on belief in the reincarnation of souls. According to that belief, only the souls of very good and perfect men like Atum himself or the pharaohs (as they were believed to be) and those of the very wicked, did not return to live again - the former because they had no need to perfect themselves farther and could therefore join the sun god forthwith in his boat of millions of years, and the latter because they would be torn to pieces by wild bests as soon as they left the judgement hall.
 
The far yonder scribe now writ
Pythagoras into the Ourabus will not go. Ourabus into Pythagoras, descends once, three remain. Thee me and the shadow
Pythagoras times Ourabus iz seventy.
