$irst o( all i( you were to look up the etymology o( ,pyramid,- no one knows its origins-
howe%er i( we were to .reak down its parts- what / see is ,(ire 0pyre/pyro1 in the midst
0mid1,- which is a re(erence to 2lchemy. $irst thing to consider is that in ancient &gypt-
2lchemy was not seen as .eing apart (rom the practice o( ritual magic- or
astrology/astronomy and their entire culture was .ased on the science and art o( Spirit. /t
is known that the pyramids were .lack- white and red- which are not so coincidentally the
three ma*or points o( alchemy- 3lack 4 5igredo/6eath 0ritual practice not actual death-
there is 7&8' e%idence the pyramids were .urial cham.ers1- 9hite is (or the white
stone- and the red (or the red stone. :he ritual practice o( magic and alchemy is o(ten
done as an outward representation o( an inner process played out in dramatic (orm in
order to engage the many senses in sym.olic (eed.ack 0:he 2lchemical aspects can
easily .e researched online and %eri(ied .y se%eral sources1. /t is known also that the
pyramids are .uilt in a way to resonate at certain (re;uencies- and had water channeled
through certain tunnels 0all this can .e %eri(ied .y %arious &gyptology sources1.
So 2lchemy- like agic has inner aspects 0.oth su.tle and .iological1 as well as outer
0astrological as well as ,Spiritual/6i%ine,1. /( you were to look at the alignment o( the
stars with the cham.ers o( the "reat pyramid you see that the 5orthern sha(t going (rom
the <ings cham.er points the star :hu.an in the constellation 6raco 0the rising o( the
"reat Serpent as a sym.ol o( <undalini awakening1 and the sha(t going (rom the
=ueens cham.er points at the star <ocha. in the constellation Ursa inor. :hese stars
in ancient times was re%ered as ,immortal stars, 0/>ll lea%e that one (or another topic1. 'n
the South side the sha(t (rom the <ings cham.er points at the le(t most star o( 'rion>s
0associated with 'siris in &gypt1 .elt 2lnitak- which is traditionally representati%e o( the
three stars together. :he .elt is re(erred to in ancient 2ra.ic as the ,string o( pearls,- and
the name 2lnitak comes (rom the phrase that means ,the .elt o( al *au?a,. 2l @au?a
translates as "od>s central one. :he sha(t coming (rom the =ueens cham.er points to
Sirius- the sacred star o( /sis. Using this as a map- i( you were to place a picture o( the
pyramid on a star map so e%erything lines up- you (ind that the <ings cham.er sits
directly on the constellation $orna) 0(urnace1. 2nd so we ha%e $ire in the "reat Sea
0#osmic Sky- with a ,Sea o( Stars,1. ,:here>s (ire in the water,. :he (irst two images
show how it aligns.
5ow (or the inner- we ha%e a structure in the .rain stem called the medullary pyramids-
o( which there are two. Sitting on top o( that structure we ha%e our central part o( the
.rain- which contains a structure called a $orni) 0which means ,%ault, or ,arch,1- which
sits a.o%e and slightly ahead o( the :halamus 0which means ,cham.er,1 in the same
way the <ings cham.er 0which has a ,%aulted, ceiling1 sits a.o%e and slightly ahead o(
the =ueens cham.er. :he role o( the $orni) is to .ring messages (rom the hippocamous
0the white horse o( !oseidon/Sea-horse1 to the hypothalamus 0under/lower cham.er1. /n
other words to .ring messages (rom a structure a.o%e- to a structure .elow in the same
way entering our own inner %aulted cham.er 0.y meditation1 is how we recei%e
messages (rom ,a.o%e, 0;uantum consciousness1 to .elow 0indi%idual consciousness1.
:he .rain has the structure called the ,2;uaduct, that comes (rom the :halamus that
also corresponds with the ascending passage that leads to .oth the =ueen>s and the
<ing>s cham.ers. :hese can .e seen in the ne)t two images.
So i( we were to draw lines (rom the (orni) to where the sha(ts are pointing to the stars-
we see that Sirius and 'rion correspond to the pre(rontal corte) which is responsi.le (or
emotions- *udgement and planning 0/sis/Sirius1- and the dorsolateral which is responsi.le
(or imagination 0'siris/'rion>s .elt1. 'n the other side they point to the areas o( the .rain
associated with %isual memory- and the processing o( multisensorial in(ormation 0the two
immortal stars1.
So now to the more directly alchemical. :he entire practice o( alchemy is o(ten re(erred
to as the ,2rt o( $ire,- so the (urnace 0$orna)1 is a central (eature in much alchemical art
and re(erences. 2gain we see that the constellation $orna) sits in the same place as the
"reat !yramid>s <ing>s cham.er- in the same place where the $orni) rests within the
central .rain. /n alchemy the inner la.oratory 0Aa.-'ratory1 is the place where the
sacred work is done- and there are two locations 0as a.o%e so .elow1. :he lower is in
the .ody and many o( the alchemical re(erences are also mirrored in lower anatomy. $or
e)ample there is the woman>s %aginal (orni)- which makes re(erence to se)ual alchemy
and is mirrored in ,'rion>s Sword,- which is no sword .ecause no warrior has e%er held
a sword .etween their legs. :he upper is in the higher conscious e)perience- which
occurs when our .rainwa%es drop to deeper states which are normally e)perienced as
%arious stages o( sleep- which engage more central aspects o( the .rain.
/n the picture o( the alchemical (urnace you see the three men dressed in ro.es 0much
like the :hree 9ise men1 in (ront o( the (urnace in the same way the three stars o(
'rion>s .elt are in the same depicted place on the star map with the pyramid 0and
$orna) constellation1. /( there is any dou.t as to the relation .etween the constellation
$orna) and alchemical workings the last image actually comes (rom an old star map o(
the constellation $orna)- and actually says 2pparatus #hemicus- which / am sure / don>t
need to translate.
/( we were to look into the cruci(i)ion o( @esus- a(ter his cruci(i)ion he was .rought to a
%ault where he stayed (or three days. :his is the $orni). Stedman>s medical dictionary
descri.e that the $orni) has a (unction to transmit energy that is called ,(oramen/$or
2men,- which now makes re(erence to 2mun>s Horn as well as the word at the end o(
e%ery #hristian prayer- ,2men,.
:here are many many allegorical stories and myths o( %arious religions that (ind their
correspondences in astronomy/astrology- anatomy and alchemical operations. 5ow what
is important to say here is that it is a mistake to think that the stars and the anatomy is
the actual mystery that is .eing transmitted .y ancient teachings and practices. :his is
not the case. 9hat we ha%e is proo( o( the a)iom ,2s a.o%e- so .elow, in a real and
irre(uta.le way- .ut then there is the e)perience o( awakening to that- which is the real
dri%e o( the ystery teachings.
:he way we access and acti%ate the $orni) is .y deep meditation- and my proo( is again
in the Stedman>s medical dictionary- .y looking into the .rainwa%es. 9hen we go into
deep 6elta 0normally dreamless sleep1 we reach a point o( (our cycles per second or
lower- it is a state called 6elta $ornicus. 2nd within $orna) star constellation- we see one
o( the stars is called 6elta $orna). 9hat does this meanB :hat in deep meditation- we
are seeking to remain conscious and lucid to this deep state o( 6elta (ornicus. :his is (ar
.eyond where most people reach in meditation. ost people ne%er go .eyond :heta
.rainwa%es 0normally dream sleep1. :his is still a deep state- and a person who reaches
this state will e)perience many %isions and ,spiritual, e)periences. :he su.conscious
realm o( the astral plane is the realm o( the Soul- and it is this place where dreams- lucid
dreams and astral pro*ections reside. 3eyond this is the 6elta wa%es- and this mo%es to
(urther reaching e)periences that are e%en .eyond the reach o( our indi%idual ,mortal,
soul- which is why it is always re(erenced as a sort o( death that leads to re.irth. 9e
ha%e to .e willing to die .y *umping to cross the a.yss o( indi%idual consciousness to the
realm o( the supernal/;uantum consciousness.
/n 3uddhism- the word :athata means "suchness" or "thusness" and refers to the
ultimate nature of a thing. Buddha referred to himself at times as Tathagata (Japanese
Nyorai) and means "one who has thus gone", or "one who has thus come".
This "coming and going" refers to the reaching of this Ultimate reality. And
here is where we find the connection with Fornix/Fornax. By remaining
conscious though the dee states of meditation, we can "roll !ac"" the
#tone of the $ault and enter %igher &ealities that ha$e long since !een the
goal of ancient cultures.
