Section 7

"They say to me: 'What strange man are you, to wish us eternal sadness? Would you have us grieve while we starve? Do you not know that work is impossible with a heavy heart and cannot you see that we have lightened our hearts in order to take up the burden our dead broth- ers have left to us? What strange man are you?'
"I say to them: 'Europe, it seems to me that you are dancing more than you are working. Too many are living on the blood profits wrung from the slain.'
"They say to me: 'What do you want? We fought well — and we won.*
"I say to them: 'So did Babylon. Yet, though she won, she lost. Guard ye that you do not share her fate.' '

THE GREAT PYRAMID AND THE SPHINX
IT is not an easy matter to get people to understand a subject to which they have given little or no thought whatever; but if one earnestly desires light on a rare and particular subject, as, for instance, the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx, deep concentration is bound to bring re- sults, and the ideas that are the fruit of that "going into the silence" may be similar to what others have given out and they may be dissimilar. If dissimilar, they may be offered to the earnest, esoteric student, as a working hypo- thesis, to be accepted or rejected by him. In case he rejects, reason must be given in order that new light may be shed on the question.
Many scientists have personally studied the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx and made endless measurements. They have arrived, for the most part, at the same con- clusion to which that great occultist, Madame Helena P. Blavatsky held, i. e., that "the measuring attainment of the Great Pyramid would indicate all the substance of measure of the heavens and the earth."
So much for that part, but there are other facts to be noted. It will be revealed — and no doubt within a com- paratively short time, now — that there are many other secret chambers within this remarkable monument and that its true entrance is from the silent Sphinx. Verily it will not remain silent much longer. That celestial force which conquered the animal nature and resulted in a race of perfected human beings in a far distant Aqua- rian Age, enabled them to build monuments which would withstand the wear and tear of the ages and be a lode- star and a beacon-light for fellow travelers along the same GREAT PATH — a path that is narrow and sharp as a razor; a path filled with stones that bruise and cut the feet. As one persists, the stones become fewer; green, velvet grass and beautiful flowers spring up beside the
[65]

way, the heart of the aspirant is cheered and strengthened and he picks himself up again and yet again and goes on with eyes ever fixed on the flaming star in the distance. And these incomparable monuments show us what was done in past ages, what is being done now, and what will be accomplished by future generations until all humanity shall kneel at the feet of God — ultimate perfection for all of God's children — for we are all His.
In the King's chamber, which occupies the highest posi- tion therein, has been found an especially unique object, to which has been given many names, ranging from sar- cophagus to corn-bin. H. P. Blavatsky comments caustic- ally on the denseness of those who ascribed the latter name to it, and says it is "a womb within a womb." It is indeed a sacred chalice, the Holy Grail, and represents the pineal gland within the head of every human being. This receptacle within the King's chamber is forever un- covered, waiting, patiently, for that precious treasure which is to rebuild the Sacred Temple. It is the womb, the place of conception of the psycho-physical seed. It is also the tomb of Joseph, the rock-hewn tomb, in which no man had ever lain, the place to which the seed returns.
Humanity, as a whole, will, from now on, learn more and more about that wonderful process within the human body, and more and more will their eyes become opened. Then, indeed, shall we not have definite assurance that the Great Pyramid will reveal to us the sacred Claustrum and the Door of Brahm?
The sarcophagus, then, was not intended by its per- fected builders to contain a dead body, but a living one, living in the highest sense of the word. It is intended for a lasting memorial, an exemplification oF that birth, life and transmutation of the Savior, the redeemer — the seed, within each human body.
Before entering the King's chamber we find ourselves in an ante-room, wherein "standing all across the room from the floor to the ceiling" is the strange structure named the "granite leaf." It may well be that these four grooves correspond to the four eminences, the calliculi of the corpora quadrigemina in the mid-brain, the ante- chamber of the head.
[66]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
The King's Chamber and the Queen's Chamber stand in the same relation to each other as do the pineal gland and pituitary body. The King's chamber being placed the highest and likewise the pineal body. No wonder man has considered himself to be above woman. The Pyramid well, which connects the Queen's chamber with the subterranean grotto, corresponds in anatomy to the left sympathetic system, and the subterranean grotto is the sacral plexus, where the first crucifixion of the seed (Jesus) takes place. Without a doubt the future will reveal other and more spacious rooms, corresponding to the organs of the body, and it is remarkable that the chambers which were first revealed to the eyes of hu- manity stand for, and represent those organs within the human body which mankind is destroying in excesses.
It is no wonder that no trace of any lighting system has been revealed, for no system of lighting was needed. Those perfected builders enjoyed full use of the all-seeing Eye and were a light unto themselves the radiance from that inner eye giving light to all that was within the temple.
There was also great wisdom and forethought dis- played in closing all the outlets of the Pyramid, all pas- sageways— for those Great Ones knew that they were to be submerged, perhaps twice, before the impulse or spirit of the Aquarian Age would impel mankind to obey the inner urge and seek to solve the Pyramid mystery when he himself was beginning to seek and find the solution of the great and wondrous mystery within his own body. Hence passage ways were closed and kept free from the debris of ages.
In this Aquarian Age, this Sun-day of God, when the sign of the Son of man has appeared in the heavens, all things will stand revealed. Once again, in the course of the ages will mankind have reached the same goal which the builders of the Great Pyramid reached in that far re- mote age of at least 50,000 years. And here and there are found a few whose eyes are beginning to be cleared, whose material vision is being purified, whose brain cells are beginning to vibrate to that harmony which, to the Ancient Ones, was sweet and thrilling music. And when
[67]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
this Aquarian Age shall reach its close, we, too, will be able to join in that great anthem of joy and sing the praises of the MOST HIGH — the God within us.
Humanity has been wandering many, many years in the wilderness, but the Promised Land, flowing with milk and honey, is very, very near, and soon the "Stone that the builders rejected will have become the head of the
corner."

ISAIAH
"And in that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord."
—Isaiah 19:19.
ISAIAH in Hebrew means "Salvation of Jehovah" and Jehovah means the whole body of man, but more especially does it mean the second man Adam, a quickening spirit, the Lord God from heaven, the "I AM THE LORD THY GOD."
The geography of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt resembles the anatomy of man's body. The solar plexus is the dividing line between the lower, ani-mal (Latin for bad life) or Adam-earthly man and the spiritual Ego residing in the heart-shaped cerebellum (see chart). "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he." The Ego thinks where it resides.
The salvation of the Ego is in the "midst of Egypt," etc.
In the archives of ancient Egypt, two crowns have been found, one white, representing Upper Egypt, and the other red, representing Lower Egypt. Comment is un- necessary.
The Great Pyramid is situated exactly on the geo- graphical center between Upper and Lower Egypt. Thus it is "In the midst of Egypt as a whole and "on the bor- ders thereof," of both sections.
The Pyramid of Cheops is an encyclopedia of physical science and astral lore. The science of numbers, weights, measures, astronomy, astrology and the secret mysteries of physiology are symboled in that incomparable monu- ment. The history of Freemasonry is recorded there. Note on chart the descent of spinal cord, the pneumogas- tric nerve, the two wonderful cords of nerves, Adi and Pingala and their relation to NUN, in Bethlehem, and you will find by the study of books on them that the pas-
[69]

sage ways correspond to the inner man and typifies the mysterious Hiram Abiff by whose death the Word was lost and finally restored by his resurrection.
The Pyramid, the altar in the midst of Egypt, was reared by people who lived in some former Day of Judg- ment, some past Aquarian Age, and who possessed wis- dom that enabled them to solve the mystery of Christ hid in God— "The seed is the WORD of God."
FROM "THE GREAT PYRAMID JEEZAH" By Louis P. McCARTY
6 Tin HE author believes that no man can study the Bible a great while, carefully and dispassionately noting its place in the world, its surroundings, its handings down, its prophetical bearings, not considered in detail, but in their large and comprehensive scope, with- out coming to the conviction that a divine power and providence doth in some way hedge it about, and without coming to the conviction that this divine power is a con- scious entity, just as we are; that he is, by his superiority, wisdom and power, continually and everywhere, intelli- gently present as the immediate cause of each sequence in all the universe, however minute."
[70]
THE OPTIC THALAMUS
THE LAMP OR EYE
"rriHE THALAMUS," within which is the Optic, or eye, "is the great ganglion of the inter-brain. It is called the bed or chamber. It projects back- ward over the mid-brain. Laterally, it rests against the superior lamina of the internal capsule, which separates it from the lentiform nucleus. It is shaped like an egg, with the small end directed forward. It measures 4 cm. or about one and a half inches in length, and 2.5 cm. or one inch in width and thickness. It has an anterior and posterior extremity and four surfaces." — Santee.
uThe posterior surface (dorsal) of the mid-brain, though free, is entirely concealed by the cerebellar and cerebral hemispheres. It forms part of the floor of the transverse fissure of the cerebrum and is covered by pia mater. The lateral sulcus bounds it on each side. From the sulcus laterals it elevates abruptly toward the median line, where it presents a longitudinal groove. This pro- duces two ridges which are subdivided by a transverse groove into FOUR EMINENCES (see article on The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx), the colliculi of the cor- pora quadrigemina. On either side, anterior and a little lateral to the quadrigeminal bodies, is the medial genicu- late joined to the inferior quadrigeminal colliculus by an oblique ridge, called the brachium inferius. The nearly parallel longitudinal ridges below the corpora quadrige- mina are formed by the brachia conjunctiva of the cere- bellum. The bottom of the groove between them is formed by the superior medullary velum of Vieussens, when the trochlear nerve (fourth), is seen issuing. Mid-Brain

"The four colliculi of the corpora quadrigemina and the four brachia connecting them with the geniculate bodies constitute the quadrigeminal lamina, which forms the greater part of the posterior surface of the mid-brain. It is also called the tectum. This lamina rests upon the dorsum of the pedunculi cerebri. The lamina quadrige- mina presents a small median triangle between the su- perior colliculi and the habenula, called the subpineal triangle, in which the pineal body rests. The lamina is invested with pia mater."
All the above is taken from Santee's "Anatomy of the Brain and Spinal Cord." He is an authority on this subject.
"The ancients, from time immemorial, have considered the pine tree as the most sacred of all trees. The pineal gland or Corpus pineale, is shaped like the pine cone, and the ancient physiologist who gave it its name, must as- suredly have understood its great esoteric function. It is 6 mm. (0.25 inches) high, and 4 mm. (0.17 inches) in diameter, joined to the roof of the third ventricle by a flattened stalk, the habenula. It is also called epiphysis and conarium. It is small, reddish and the size of a pea. Its interior is made up of closed follicles surrounded by ingrowths of connective tissue. The follicles are filled with epithelial cells mixed with calcareous (lime) matter, the brain-sand (acervulus cerebri). Calcareous deposits are found also on the pineal stalk and along the choiroid plexuses." — Santee. This organ is Mars-Uranus in as- tronomical correspondence.
Let us examine, for a moment^ the wonderful term "pia mater."
What marvelous light floods the mind of the esoteric student when once the real meaning of this term becomes clear. Pia mater is Latin for "tender mother." It is the inner and most vascular (full of vessels) of the three membranes of the brain and spinal cord. The spinal fluid comes from the pia mater of the cerebrum, and this fluid, Santee tells us, "is more like tears and sweat, than serum." These fluids are both saline and alkaline, there being a large per cent of sodium chloride therein.
[72]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
The wonderful pia mater, or tender mother, is the mother substance, the pure water, the Virgin Mary, the immaculate mother of all things. Most truly was Mary, the Mother of God, a spiritual as well as a physiological and chemical truth.
The Pituitary Body is given this name because it se- cretes a mucus or phlegm. It is a small, reddish, ellipsoid organ in a depression of the sphenoid bone, and attached to the brain by a peduncle. "It contains a viscid, jelly- like material (pituita), which suggested the name. It is also called the hypophysis. It consists of two lobes bound together by connective tissue, and in structure resembles the thyroid gland. The anterior lobe is hollowed out on its posterior surface (kidney-shaped) and receives the posterior lobe, the infundibulum, into the cavity. (The infundibulum is a funnel-shaped passage — a canal from this body (pituitary) to the third ventricle.) This body secretes a fluid that seems to stimulate the growth of con- nective tissues and to be essential to sex development." — Santee. This organ has a Mars-Neptune correspondence.
The pineal gland is the male spiritual organ — the elec- tric body. Otherwise called "Joseph" in Bible terminol- ogy. The Father of Jesus — the male element in the seed — the source of the seed. To it, also, the seed, or Jesus, the Son, returns after his work is done. Joseph of Ari- mathaea receives the body of Jesus and lays it in his own rock hewn tomb "wherein no man was ever laid before." The pineal gland becomes hard like a rock when the "brain-sand," the saved seed, is furnished it. When no material is being returned in tithes to the brain, the pineal body is flabby and pasty.
Let us examine, for a moment, those organs above the optic thalamus. In the article on Santa Claus, the Island of Reil and the claustrum have been described.
It is interesting to note that there are five different bodies lying in a perpendicular line directly beneath the suture, as follows: First, the Island of Reil; the claus- trum; the external capsule; the lentiform nucleus, and the internal capsule. Directly beneath the latter is the thalamus.
[73]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
The internal capsule is a funnel-like group of nerve fibers which enter the cerebrum and are reinforced by a great number of additional fibers from the thalamus, which converge upward. The bell of this funnel opens upward and contains the lentiform nucleus. L
uThe lentiform nucleus occupies the cone-like cavity of the internal capsule, by whose laminae it is separated from the ventricle. IT RESEMBLES A BI-CONVEX LENS with a somewhat thickened anterior border, when viewed in horizontal section. It is triangular in shape. The hypothenuse and base are formed, respectively, by the superior and inferior laminae of the internal capsule. The external capsule forms the perpendicular and sepa- rates the lentiform nucleus from the claustrum." — Santee.
We can easily see, from the above description of the organs, that they are corelated and form the path from the thalamus to the udoor of Brahma." It is through this channel that the attenuated, ethereal substance from without is conveyed to the inner eye. The rays, or vibra- tions, which converged along this pathway are, by means of the lentiform nucleus, the bi-convex lens in the cere- brum, focalized in the "ALL-SEEING EYE."
