It is vital to understand that there is no truth without discernment and no wisdom without the truth. What then is “faith” but an effort to confound truth and wisdom?
This chapter presents an overview of the verifiable structure, functionality, and relationships of pivotal ancient symbol groups. I demonstrate how this very specific set of symbol groups forms the core rules that decisively prove that ancient wisdom symbology has always purposely encoded its hidden meanings within well-known frameworks that have long-been purposely misinterpreted and confounded. Thereby, this analysis is the key to the truth about many ancient mysteries. It also exposes the deceptions and/or errors of religion, mysticism, and related esoterica. As already partially evidenced in previous books and articles, I’ll merge symbols from Hebrew, Egyptian-Nubian, and related sources to prove their verifiable purposes, relationships, meaning, and synchronized functionality.
I expand the focus to a wider body of symbols in subsequent chapters and books, but this chapter alone exposes the core errors and deceptions of the last several millennia by decisively proving the truth about ancient wisdom symbology. Much of this already exists in the previously published editions of my books and articles, which will be updated and republished as the next two volumes of this series. The earlier editions required much more patience and perseverance to grasp. Like this book, their updates will incorporate many more of the Egyptian links and roots of pivotal symbology and related concepts. Also like this book, this chapter serves as an introductory synopsis that provides a more succinct presentation of pivotal proofs of the truth. The subsequent books provide extensive additional detail and references for your own research, exploration, and comprehensive validation of what I summarize herein.
A pivotal component of the proof is the Doctrine of Two Spirits, which is the long-sought after and long-lost key designed to unlock most of what has been hidden, lied about, and/or misinterpreted over the millennia. When the correct core symbol groups are overlaid atop the Doctrine of Two Spirits, they all perfectly synchronize to prove their meanings, relationships, purposes, and the fact that their inter-intra-functionality is a purposeful and verifiable feature of this ancient spiritual-philosophical expert system. This serves to prove that the Doctrine of Two Spirits is the initial core schema that was always meant to serve as the eventual code-key to unlock the “mysteries” and finally prove the truth about many long-lost and deeply hidden things. This wisdom has been repeatedly and redundantly symbolized from different perspectives throughout the millennia. When the time finally arrived people could discern that the many allusions to it perfectly and undeniably synchronize to validate the truth, expose ancient deceptions, and straighten out long-term errors and fallacies.
To truly understand the import of what I demonstrate and demystify, it is vital to grasp that ancient symbolic wisdom was purposely designed as a verifiable model of the true structure of our universe. It purposefully models the causative concepts and core functionality of our universe that scientists are still struggling to clarify through string theory and quantum physics. The ancients used highly advanced and deeply profound symbology because of its natural ability to model and encapsulate the hidden attributes of our existence, while also simultaneously encoding other abstract concepts. It uses functional tokens as strategic multi-dimensional components within a very advanced spiritual-philosophical-scientific modeling system.
The wisdom symbology that passed through Egypt into the Hebrew canon was an ancient philosophical technology designed to bridge the material and spiritual, the physical and metaphysical, the objective and subjective, the visible and hidden, the microcosmic and the macrocosmic, etc. By utilizing identifiable objects and concepts that were verifiable through science and natural observations, the ancients constructed a multipurpose body of tightly integrated natural symbologies. One of the important purposes and functionality was to accurately model wisdom about the hidden aspects of our existence. Since the seven hidden dimensions are conceptual instead of physical and composed of patterns within knowledge instead of things and objects, the best way to model hidden non-physical realities was to use components that we could recognize and perceive visually and mentally. Thereby, one very important rule is that physical objects always represent non-physical concepts and wisdom, not merely other physical things, including people and their literal names.
The symbology was organized similar to an object-oriented programming and/or modeling language, which is why I was able to successfully reverse-engineer it. Thereby, each symbol is an active component that encapsulates a discrete kernel of wisdom within a highly structured system of wisdom (construct) with precise rules and many components of varying import and function. These symbolic components can be used with the collection of other kernels of wisdom, and the rules that define and organize them, to model a wide range of topics and details about the hidden aspects of our reality, including the future. This is one feature of the expert-system functionality, since the components were expertly selected and integrated so the literal details and relationships of symbols could be used to infer and gain greater insight into the otherwise hidden aspects of our realities.
Many researchers and academics are already fully aware that the Egyptians (and their predecessors) had successfully and comprehensively merged science and spiritual philosophy. For those who have been struggling to do the same in modern times, finally grasping what the Egyptians knew and how they encoded it is the long-sought-after key to success. I have taken this much further and clarified pivotal findings of string theory and quantum physics to prove that the ancient sage-scientists purposefully and elegantly modeled details that modern scientists are still haggling over.
As we explore this ancient philosophical technology, keep in mind that we are working with an advanced scientific-philosophical model of reality from a very ancient African civilization. They recognized that our universal reality is composed of more than just the physical-material aspects we experience as space-time. A hidden realm of existence has long been asserted through religion, mysticism, and related esoterica. Much of that knowledge flows from the dually symbolized spiritual philosophies of Egypt and Nubia. To put this into the proper perspective, many of the so-called ancient mysteries exist because “western” invaders and conquerors could not read the symbology of Egypt and Nubia or grasp the true profundity of what it encoded or why. In their ignorance they destroyed wisdom.
After centuries of spiritual ignorance, expressed as religion and mysticism, modern science has at last helped provide some of the pivotal keys required to unlock the ancient mysteries. Scientific advances have helped to prove that the ancients were illustrating a very accurate and advanced philosophical technology, instead of religion and mysticism. Like many other mysteries of our existence, the keys are found in both science and certain ancient concepts long misrepresented and misinterpreted. Mystics and seekers, though also beset by errors and purposeful obfuscation, have always been closer to the truth than religion. This is because they were at least striving to understand what was lost and hidden, instead of worshipping at the altars of fallacy, ignorance, and imposed dogma. At last, the keys that unlock the mysteries of ancient wisdom, long ago encoded using advanced symbology, are available to any and all that want to truly understand, grow wiser, and then help others do the same.
The Roots of Dualism
First, let us start at the simplest core structures of reality and then layer on the proofs that finally and verifiably finish the ancient mysteries. As I have already discussed in articles and earlier book editions, dualism is the core feature of this universe’s structure, thereby it must also be central to all spiritual concepts, morality, and related philosophies, if they are to be accurate and truly workable. Egyptian-Nubian philosophies, symbolized gods and goddesses (personified universal principles, powers and principalities, a.k.a. neters), and other symbolized concepts, were consistently dually conceived and structured. All of their “gods and goddesses” (neter) had masculine and feminine aspects and/or counterparts, as did almost all other details of their wisdom, knowledge, and society. A very good example is Amen (Amun, Amon), that most only know by the masculine aspect. The feminine aspect Amenet (Amunet) was also attributed many of the same characteristics as Maat and Isis. Other prime examples are Thoth and Maat, Osiris and Isis, and Nut and Geb.
This dualism flowed into Hebrew texts and concepts through the works of AmenMoses and later sages and prophets. The various discussions of dualism, good and evil, high and low roads, heaven and hell, and much more are direct derivatives of earlier Egyptian-Nubian concepts and philosophies. Much of the early Hebrew narratives were specialized versions of Egyptian-Nubian parables and wisdom narratives that were progressively reworked, embellished, and interpolated over the millennia for various political and religious agendas. The fact that they still contain significant and verifiable symbolic elements that verifiably encode much hidden wisdom, including a long-secret sub-narrative, is stunning proof of many things.
Because this universe is dual in essence and structure, and all ancient symbolized wisdom from the Nile Valley region was dually structured to match that vital insight, none of these ancient symbolically encoded mysteries can be solved without the dual symbolic keys that were purposely designed for that task. If you doubt this, just look at the results of religion throughout the ages. Look at the results that still bedevil our ostensibly advanced civilization. Something has been and still is very wrong with the philosophies of all religions and related mystery schools, and the sad and sordid state of this world proves it.
Doctrine of Two Spirits
The most important key to the ancient mysteries is the Doctrine of Two Spirits. It has been long-hidden, though repeatedly symbolically alluded to as the two ways, two tables (lists, manifests) of stone, high and low roads, Jacob’s ladder and pillow stone, manifested (listed...) judgments, and other allusions over the millennia. Many of the uses of the number seven in ancient sources refer both to the dual groups of seven presented by the Doctrine of Two Spirits, as well as the seven hidden spiritual-conceptual dimensions that precede and define space-time. It is a precise enumeration of dual moral principles, structured in a way that proves it has been symbolically referred to throughout the millennia. It is more directly discussed in the Dead Sea Scrolls Community Rule and other ancient knowledge bases.
Remember that spirit doesn’t mean soul, or a non-corporeal entity, but refers to moral essence, nature, and character. This is what the Egyptians called ka and its hieroglyph was two arms and hands, symbolizing the dual nature of deeds as left and right hands. Hands and arms have long been symbols for deeds. This symbol was also sometimes shown atop a person’s head like two horns, drawing the clear link between one’s deeds and underlying thoughts and mindset. Like horns, crowns, and other things shown atop a person’s head, this was the Egyptian method of symbolizing thoughts and mindset, ergo emanating from the head (mind). Comic books use a similar approach to illustrate thoughts and words.
This same symbolism found its way into the Bible and other texts and concepts. For example, as mentioned in the preface about the Doctrine of Two Spirits, the seven horns of the lamb symbolize the thoughts and mindset of the Seven Spirits of God (good), the seven hidden dimensions, etc. When beasts and dragons (evil empires...) are shown with ten horns, it refers to the Ten Commandments as a symbol of the pivotal authoritative concepts (thoughts, mindset) of those empires. Consider what this says about Christian Rome, the Three Faiths of Abraham, and its proxy political empires, like the USA. Similarly, hair is used to symbolize thoughts (flowing from the head) as in the story of Samson and Delilah, where he wore his hair in seven braids (locks).
The Doctrine of Two Spirits is described and repeatedly referenced throughout my writing because of its pivotal importance and verifiable association to ancient wisdom stretching from the earliest Egyptian-Nubian symbolism and philosophy, through Hebrew and Persian concepts and narratives, and into the works of Nostradamus. It is specifically referred to and described in the Dead Sea Scrolls Community Rule and alluded to in various other locations as the “two ways” and “two tables of stone,” the seven pillars of wisdom, the stone with seven eyes, and others.
Many other symbolic allusions throughout the centuries refer to the Doctrine of Two Spirits and the multiple bodies of symbolism that it verifiably organizes and unlocks. This includes the stories of both arks, holy grail, Philosopher’s Stone, Thoth’s Emerald Tablets, Book of Life, Little Book/Scroll, manifested (a list of...) judgments, Jacob’s ladder, seven pillars of wisdom, seven eyes, seven seals, two ways, two paths, high and low road (paths), wide and narrow road/paths/gates, Samson’s seven locks of hair, the lambs seven horns, and many more.
These all symbolize verifiable details about this long sought after key to unlocking and understanding the bodies of symbolized wisdom and esoteric mysteries that many expended great effort and resources to solve, yet have failed. Conversely, others have expended great effort over the centuries to prevent anyone from actually succeeding at truly understanding the pivotal keys to unlocking the symbolized wisdom that long predated all extant religions and mystery schools. Those negative efforts will shortly fail and come to their long-promised apocalyptic end.
The outline shown earlier was the expanded outline. Below is the simplified one.
Spirit of Good - Path of Truth and Justice (Positive Inspirations) - Life
1-Truth
2-Wisdom
3-Humility
4-Self-sacrifice
5-Compassion
6-Freewill
7-Justice
Spirit of Evil - Path of Greed, Falsehood & Injustice (Negative Desires) - Anti-Life
1-Greed
2-Falsehood
3-Ignorance
4-Arrogance
5-Anger
6-Harm
7-Injustice
A horizontal line divides the upper and lower spirits (natures, ways, moral essences). If you draw an equal length vertical line through its middle, it forms a cross. I’ll use that to demonstrate the purposeful synchronization of the dualism displayed by the Doctrine of Two Spirits outline with the cross and four elements, ankh, and masculine vs. feminine symbolism in the balance of this chapter. I’ll expand it to other symbols and concepts in subsequent chapters and books.
Four Elements and the Cross
The four elements (a.k.a. essences) are the organizing basis for much ancient wisdom symbology. They have long been incorrectly represented as merely a literal view of the properties of physical things. This is a completely erroneous explanation of the purpose and function of this and other ancient symbologies, in large part due to purposeful obfuscation and long-term misinterpretation. They flow directly from the dualism enumerated by the Doctrine of Two Spirits. The four elements (earth, water, air, and fire) are a symbolic grouping that models and encodes foundational wisdom about our existence in this universe. The cross was directly associated with the four elements symbolism for millennia prior to Christianity. This symbol group, presented as the cross and four elements together, is an elegant encapsulation of how our realities come into being, operate, and are perpetuated. The cross further alludes to the symbolism of four corners and four winds and is one aspect of what four-sided pyramids and obelisks symbolize. Pyramids merge the symbolism of mountains (great bodies of knowledge) and their peaks (associated wisdom, pinnacle knowledge) with that of the cross and four elements; ergo, a symbol for wisdom that encodes pivotal wisdom.
Christian Rome adopted the cross, a very ancient and pivotal wisdom symbol, to hide the truth about the meaning of the core symbolic elements that model the structure of our universe and the wisdom upon which it is founded and operates. The cross was not their original symbol and wasn’t popularized until sometime in the third century or later. The truth about the cross and four elements proves that Judeo-Christian-Islamic religion and western esoterica are full of purposeful lies and resulting errors. They have been purposefully hiding pivotal truths and wisdom from the masses, so they could impose the ignorance (darkness) necessary to deceive, delude, and/or exploit everyone for the last many centuries.
The four arms of the cross each represent one of the four symbolic elements of ancient wisdom (fire, air, water, earth). In fact, the very first lines of Genesis are a mistranslated symbolic statement of the four elements and foundational wisdom as the basis of creation. They are used throughout these canons in clearly symbolic narratives that have been presented literally and falsely by religious leaders over the millennia. Instead, they model absolutely profound details about the nature of the universe and our resulting realities that completely disprove ages-old religious assertions. Likewise, the hidden meanings encoded within the symbolic narratives of these religions help to prove the true messages and purposes of the original concepts, as well as the mindset and goals of those who authored them. Since they were sages, expert in the symbolized wisdom of the ancients, it should be obvious that the equally ancient cross and four elements would encode very profound wisdom.
For the proper perspective, visualize starting at the right arm of an equal-armed cross and moving counterclockwise (upwards). First is fire as the right arm, then air, water, and earth arranged around a cross with four equal length arms (not a crucifix...). This positioning would put air as the top arm and earth as the bottom half of the vertical line, correctly matching their positions, as observed in nature. On the horizontal line, water is the left arm and fire is the right arm, putting fire in the position of the sun rising in the east. Since the sun’s fire is “extinguished” daily when it sets on the western horizon, water is on the left or western arm, which also symbolizes the onset of darkness.
This then serves as a purposeful overlay to the Doctrine of Two Spirits outline. Air (upper arm) matches up with the top half of the dual outline (two tables…), placing truth and wisdom at the very top, hence the symbolism of sun and stars (light, truth) and mountaintops (wisdom) beneath them. Justice (heat) is at the bottom of the top half, sitting immediately above the surface (earth). The horizontal line is the surface where air and earth meet, just like in nature. The Earth (lower arm) matches the bottom half of the two tables, extending between greed at the top of the bottom half to injustice at the very bottom of the entire chart. This arrangement is the important key to unlocking other symbolism associated with air (above, heaven, light, sky, wind) and earth (below, dark, underworld, hell), which forms the core symbolic framework of all dualistic religion and philosophy from that region and others.
The horizontal line that separates the upper half of the outline (Seven Spirits of God/Good (air, sky, heavens)) from the lower (Seven Spirits of Evil/Error (earth, pit, underworld)) is the horizontal line of the cross that represents the water and fire dualism. Notice how this creates dual dualisms, hence air vs. earth and fire vs. water. Their literal meanings are opposites and their encoded meanings are also philosophical opposites. The point created where they cross in the middle represents the simple building blocks of space-time, which string-theory calls strings, and could be viewed as sub-quantum “pixels” of this holographic universe. Though this is merely an analogy it comes very close to the truth.
The four elements each, and as a group, symbolize the pivotal essences that comprise and result in our reality. They are desire (fire), thought/knowledge (air), deeds/change/time (water), and results/consequences (earth). They also illustrate the two core dualisms that interact to create the underpinnings of our existence in this universe. The cross within a circle (sun cross and astrological symbol for “earth” or four-spoke wheel) also models that these create a continuous and cyclic (circular) flow. Similarly, the original purpose of the swastika was to illustrate a rotating cross as the spokes of a wheel (circle, cycle). The sun cross, swastika, the zodiac wheel with the cross and four elements at its core, and the eight-spoke wheel of karma/dharma (sometimes shown within the zodiac wheel in place of the four elements) all model the same underlying wisdom about the core causes and effects of our cyclic reality. Hence, these are all models of cyclic time, also called the “wheel of time” by some.
To better understand this symbolic model, let’s start at the right arm of the cross and four elements and move counter-clockwise in the order that these things (should) interact to establish our reality. Fire at the right arm/hand symbolizes inspirations, desires, inclinations, or motivations. Moving upward from there, as the rising sun does from the eastern horizon/surface, air as the top arm symbolizes thought and the collective consciousness. Then moving downward from there to the left arm, as the setting sun does towards the western horizon/surface, water symbolizes the flow of deeds and change through time. Then from the left arm downward to/within the earth, which symbolizes the results and consequences of time, change, and deeds and the reinforced patterns that are the foundations of our space-time existence. Since existence on planet Earth has long been characterized by ignorance, struggle, and negativity, earth has long been used to symbolize the negative aspects of existence. In other words, earth is used to symbolize the evils of this world.
These are the simplified definitions but they describe enough for this summary. All of the other related symbols used by Egyptian and Hebrew sages are organized using the four elements as the defining categories, with the Doctrine of Two Spirits and dualism as the core concepts. They determine the in-common characteristics of related symbols, the basis for their definitions, the functionality within their group(s), and within the overall symbolic framework.
To reiterate, the purpose and functionality of this core symbol group is to enumerate four (matching the 4 dimensions of space-time) underlying (core, foundational) components and essential aspects of (essences, spirits) and insights (wisdom, fundamentals) about how our reality arises, is perpetuated, and continues through time. This presents a model of how individual, group, and collective realities are formed, reinforced, and perpetuated through cyclic time. Additionally, as a symbol group, they also serve as the underlying categories for related symbols and accordingly provide the rules that help determine the hidden symbolic meaning of the associated symbols. Hence, air symbols must be related to thought, and water symbols to the flow of change/deeds through time, and so on.
Another key to understanding this philosophical model is the fact that our 11-dimension reality is dually structured. As described earlier, our universe has a hidden spiritual-conceptual zone of seven dimensions. They precede and define the four dimensions of space-time that we perceive and experience as the physical universe, ergo 7d+4d=11d. It is important to understand that the symbolism of the four essences, four corners, and other related groups of four are purposely modeling and alluding to aspects, a.k.a. dimensions. Also, four elements plus four dimensions sum to eight, matching the correct first dimension of space-time, which is time.
The number eight is also purposely encoded by the eight-spoke wheel of karma-dharma, which symbolizes the cyclic nature of time and existence driven by the continuous misdeeds of a spiritually ignorant humanity. Pay close attention to the fact that this ancient symbol about how karma drives our cyclic existence actually uses the correct dimension of time (8) that most modern scientists have yet to grasp. Thereby, following the seven dimensions is the eighth dimension, which is time, the first of space-time.
The above is also modeled by the infinity symbol or lemniscate, which is a horizontal figure-8. I find it curious that the infinity symbol is also the correct number for the dimension of time. There are other symbolic uses of 8 like the wheel of dharma that also purposely model details associated with cyclic time.
Now let’s take a large number 8, which is the infinity symbol-lemniscate standing upright, and lay it atop the cross, four elements, and Doctrine of Two Spirits so the top loop encompasses the top arm, as well as the top of the outline. The bottom loop would then encompass the bottom arm and bottom of the outline. Notice that removing the bottom loop creates an ankh, which I’ll discuss in greater detail, a few pages hence.
Thereby, the top loop and top of the Doctrine of Two Spirits represents the spiritual-conceptual aspect of existence that is symbolized as air, sky, and heaven(s), hence the seven heavens. The bottom loop represents the physical aspect of existence symbolized by earth, hell, underworld, bottomless pit, etc. The center point and the horizontal line of the cross both represent where we exist and perceive between them as the result of the interaction between the fundamental polarities that are the basis for existence in space-time.
Now visualize the figure-8 as a forever-flowing double loop that forever carries information between both zones to create our reality, on the surface, at the convergence point between them. That is the meaning of the infinity symbol. Also notice how the cross or X can be matched to the figure-8 because the X is simply an 8 with the top and bottom arc’s missing. Likewise, the 8, cross, and X have a point in the center where dual flows meet, symbolizing a single point of existence or a foundational singularity. As an instructive side note, when the cross and four elements are configured as an X, fire and air are the top (positive) two arms while earth and water are the bottom (negative).
The infinity symbol is directly related to the ouroboros (snake swallowing its own tail) and the Caduceus (two snakes intertwined around staff), both of which model the wisdom of cyclic reality flowing from what came before. One can also use the ouroboros to encircle the cross and four elements to create a cross within a circle like the sun-cross and earth symbol. This configuration also delivers a working model of cyclic time and reality as a rotating cross. There are other related Egyptian symbols such as the entwined flax cord and entwined serpents (both related to Heka) as shown on the caduceus wand. The infinity symbol merges the flow of time, cyclic reality, and the dual zones of existence into one simple elegant model of the core structure of our tightly entangled cyclic reality. It is also sometimes shown above the head of the magician in the Tarot deck.
The hieroglyph for heka that westerners have erroneously interpreted as “magic” is the entwined (entangled, looping) cord (“he”), plus the two arms and hands of the ka symbol discussed earlier. Another variation adds another symbol for time that represents millions of years. Ka refers to moral essence (spirit) based on deeds, as symbolized by dual hands, and the looped cord (with the sometimes added millions of years symbol) is the same as the eternity-infinity symbol. Thereby, heka is actually symbolizing a concept and functionality more accurately associated with the relationship between spiritual essence (ka) and cyclic time, which I’ll explore in detail in subsequent chapters.
Like Maat, heka was a concept that stood on its own, as well as being personified (symbolized) as a neter (Heka) that embodied the features of most of the others, but was not the Creator. In fact, this symbolizes the creative forces that the Creator used to initiate, animate, and perpetuate the flows of our reality. In other words, this concept is very closely tied to what the merger of the Doctrine of Two Spirits, infinity symbol, and four elements models. In other words, this is what drives the flow of time and information between the two primary zones of existence and causes results in space-time.
Keep in mind also that nothing in these models symbolizes the soul, which is what the fifth element alludes to. The fifth element acts from outside of this model as the source, while the four elements model the universe that flows from the source. This purposely models a separation between souls and the universe we experience through our minds and bodies. In other words, souls are not native to this universe, but exterior and senior to it. Likewise, souls are not a part of our minds or bodies, but we (as souls) use both of them as tools (avatars) to interact within this “universe.” I call the non-location “where” souls and the Creator exist “dimension zero,” since it exists prior to all the dimensions of this universe. The Egyptians asserted that Heka existed before dualism, so it would appear to be what drives the flows created by the existence of duality (polarity).
As described above, the flows modeled by these symbols result in our space-time realities. It thereby follows that they can flow in dual directions since this is a dual reality, which is what the symbology was designed to model. To see the wisdom of this, the starting point on the cross and four-elements is always fire, hence inspirations, desires, motivations, and inclinations. These can take on a positive or negative polarity depending on whether the initial fo
