In this chapter, I take a little detour from the hierarchy of symbols and groups discussed so far. The point within a circle (circumpunct, astrological symbol and hieroglyph for the sun, alchemical gold, etc.) is the most important member of a special group of symbols that provide a parallel body of synchronized wisdom. At first glance, it does not seem to fit into the symbol groups discussed earlier that define the rules for other symbols. Instead, its purpose is to model another set of rules that all of the others follow. It therefore resides alongside or before the other symbols already described.
A special version of this symbol with dual parallel lines is considered very important within Freemasonry and other mystery schools. Since they are so heavily invested in using and exploring ancient symbology and have long striven to grasp the meaning of this and other pivotal symbols, I feel it is only fair and just to help those who truly desire truth, wisdom, and justice (three pillars, candlesticks). Not all will appreciate everything I demonstrate and have to say. It is important to understand that a pivotal aspect of gasping wisdom is to finally learn which things are truthful, which were not, and precisely why. Please keep this in mind and reserve your ire for those who have lied about these details over the preceding centuries. I have worked long and hard and risked much to deliver the “light” that many of you have long desired, yet have been denied. Be patient and strive to grasp all that I am presenting in this chapter, even when it seems to step very hard on your toes. Learning that one has been deceived and/or wrong about something so important is not an easy thing to endure, so please keep this in mind as you proceed.
The Centuries, Quatrain 5.53
Law (wisdom) from the Sun (Truth, Justice), and Venus (Roman religion) contending
Claiming the spirit of prophecy (Truth, Life):
Neither one nor the other will have been understood,
The law of the great messiah is grasped through the Sun.
The point within a circle is a simple elegant symbol that has multiple related meanings and purposes. As explored in the previous chapter, the juxtaposition of the cross and four elements with the zodiac models important details about the structure of the universe. It compares the cyclic microcosmos to the resulting cyclic macrocosmos that expands from core concepts and functionality. Those same details are modeled by this simple elegant symbol. In other words, it models very profound spiritual, philosophical, and scientific wisdom. Like the cross and zodiac, this presents a model of our cyclic reality emanating from core concepts. This and more are purposely and verifiably embodied by this simple symbol. Let’s start at sun and star symbolism first and then drill our way into its deeper and more esoteric meanings, including the verifiable relationships to other closely related symbols.
Before we explore star symbolism in more detail in the next chapter, let’s focus on the sun, the star at the center point of our solar system. The point within a circle verifiably models intrinsic details about the sun, stars, and planets. As I’ve shown so far, the symbolism of Egypt-Nubia and derivative religious and mystical concepts have been purposefully misinterpreted and obfuscated over the millennia. In the previous chapter, I touched upon some important aspects of the point within a circle as the Egyptian symbol for the sun. They also used another version of this symbol that is shown between two snakes or cobras, as shown on the front cover. A stylized version of this, with the sun symbol between two parallel lines, is considered pivotal within Freemasonry.
The point within a circle between two parallel lines is a variation of the much earlier Egyptian version between two cobras or uraei (uraeus is singular). Since the sun is also shown with two wings and two cobras together, dropping the wings to show only the cobras is merely a simplified and summarized version that still models dualism, following the basic rules of symbolism. The same is thereby true of the point within a circle between two parallel lines, since the two lines are merely a simplified representation of the dual wings and cobras. Since the point within the circle was their symbol for the sun, placing it between two parallel lines has the same underlying meaning as the Egyptian winged sun disc and wheel of dharma between two deer, hence cyclic existence between dual (and dueling) polarities. When those two lines are crossed they represent the four elements.
Most of the publicly available interpretations I’ve read are purposely wrong. Always remember, this symbolism is part of a very ancient and precise system with verifiable rules that categorize and define associated symbols and their groups. Self-serving interpretations crafted millennia after the fact that clearly fail to follow the original rules and meanings are undeniably erroneous and very often purposely fraudulent. The purpose of my efforts here are to prove, beyond any reasonable doubt, the true ancient meaning of these symbols. As a Freemason might say, the goal here is to shine more light to illuminate that the rough ashlar of Masonic symbolism is not yet trimmed square. It is also clear that they already know this and seek the light. What better source of light than the sun?
An important thing to grasp about sun symbolism is that its various forms were absolutely pivotal to the Egyptians and those who came before them. Far too many writers and researchers have concluded that they were literally worshipping the sun, which is an incomplete and thereby erroneous analysis. The ancient sages that created this symbology used very precise observations of the natural world and its laws as the source of symbols to model the hidden aspects of our universe and resulting realities. It is thereby completely wrong to assume they were worshipping any literal object, no matter how awesome or important it might seem to you. At least no one educated in the rules of symbolism at the core of their spirituality, philosophy, and hieroglyphics would have.
On the other hand, the uneducated would have to some extent. Even so, the concepts of symbolism and dualism were so common and ubiquitous that their mindsets and viewpoints were much different from moderns. Most especially from westerners that still struggle to interpret things they have clearly never fully understood. As time progressed, Egyptian civilization declined, was subdued by westerners, and lost touch with the ancient wisdom of its founders and forebears. In any event, we are exploring the original meanings and purposes, before Judeo-Christianity and Islam imposed greater ignorance by recasting ancient wisdom symbology into erroneous and blatantly deceptive pseudo-spiritual concepts.
The details verifiably modeled by a point within a circle and related solar symbols prove the fallacy of the many assertions of mere sun worship as the purpose and meaning of any of these symbols. Likewise, assertions that the focus was merely astronomical and astrological completely miss the more profound reasons for using symbology. As a symbol for the sun, the point within a circle provides stunning insights. For example, it is clearly and undeniably a simple and elegant model of an idealized solar system that perfectly follows the rules of wisdom and symbolism.
The point represents a sun-star and the circle represents an idealized planetary orbit, hence circular instead of elliptical. This alone reveals very profound details about the ancients who designed this as a symbol for the sun. First, they clearly understood that the sun was the center of a planetary system, which means they understood the correct relationship between stars and planets. There would be no other reason for including the point in the center and then using it as an elegant compound symbol for the sun. They had other symbolism showing the sun disk without a center point that had other meanings. This unique sun symbol served a special purpose, as I demonstrate in this chapter.
Once again, ancient wisdom and its symbolism never merely relates to physical items, especially items that are themselves used as symbols for important spiritual and philosophical concepts. The point within the circle, though a general symbol for our sun as a planet-bearing star, models much more than mere space-time concepts. Whenever Egyptian or Hebrew sages alluded to another symbol, such as the stars or the sun, the target was not the other symbol’s literal meaning, but its hidden esoteric meanings. Thereby, this symbol for the sun is also a symbol for what the sun symbolizes. Using a symbol to reference another symbol is merely a method of adding levels of obscurity and/or meaning to whatever is being symbolized. An important observation about the point within a circle, as an elegant multi-purpose symbol for the sun, is that the designer was a true expert in symbology. Thereby, this symbol should and does deliver deeply profound insights.
The sun is also the literal source of life for those upon the earth, by providing both light and heat. The subjects of life, light, heat, fire, etc. are pivotal symbolic topics that made their way into all three Faiths of Abraham, Zoroastrianism, and related derivatives. Light symbolizes truth and heat symbolizes justice and this chapter will help prove this beyond any reasonable doubt. As with many other assertions by Christianity and Rome, the deceptive misuse of the term “light” in the New Testament is a blatant lie. One of Christianity’s most important purposes has been to hide the truth about ancient wisdom symbology and what it truly means. It mostly succeeded over the last two millennia. Rome’s many crusades against various heretical populations and philosophies were partially targeted against those groups and areas where their deceptions did not succeed.
The mythology of Jesus Christ is a pivotal component of Rome’s strategy to hide the meaning of Egyptian and Hebrew wisdom about the true nature of our reality. The miracles of Jesus are all based on deceptively recasting the meaning of pivotal wisdom symbology to make people dependent on a hero-god ultimately controlled by Rome, instead of helping them to grow wise, truthful, and just. Another symbol also confounded by the efforts of Rome is the sun, which is directly tied to the symbolism of light. Accordingly, the sun and the details associated with orbital and precessional observations and math are a great source of truth about the nature of our existence on a planet in space-time, orbiting a star.
Besides the more profound philosophical aspects of sun symbolism, truth and wisdom from observations related to our solar orbit and the precession of the equinoxes also literally helped to guide humanity out of various periods of darkness (ignorance, deception). Never forget that astronomy was a science that Christian Rome actively confounded and oppressed for centuries. The true relationship between the earth, sun, planets, and stars, as proven by enlightenment period scientists like Galileo and Copernicus, were instrumental to ending the dark ages caused by the oppressive hold Rome had on the minds and knowledge bases of Europeans. Also, never forget what the Inquisition did to Galileo and many others who were seeking the truth. Another focus of the Inquisition was to stop those who sought to understand the truth about the Bible’s symbolism and it’s Egyptian roots. As I write this, the current Pope is the former Grand Inquisitor. What amazing arrogance for them to keep such an abomination in place, at this very late date.
Unlike the blatantly deceptive assertions of Christianity, when the ancients spoke symbolically about light and life they were unequivocally referring to the path of truth and justice. Assertions that light symbolizes anything (or anyone...), other than the truth, are blatant lies (darkness). Notice again that truth is the first item on the upper half of the Doctrine of Two Spirits and justice is the last, hence the true source and meaning of the symbolism of first and last. Likewise, Maat personified that truth and justice are required for universal order. As we’ll explore in this chapter, she is purposely interchangeable with sun symbolism. Keep in mind that Maat was symbolized weighing (testing, judging) the hearts (desires) of the “dead” to determine their fates, hence whether their spirit (ka) was characterized by good (life) or evil (death). The “dead” are those with heads (mindsets) in the “earth,” hence the lowest of the seven spirits. Once again, this symbolizes ka-maat, a.k.a. karma, or in other words, determining the maat of one’s ka (moral essence, a.k.a. spirit). The time is long overdue to weigh the hearts of these religions and unseal their fates so people can be freed of such ignorance.
Light, heat, and sun symbolism
As repeatedly demonstrated, Egyptian symbolism purposely uses verifiable aspects of the natural world to model spiritual and philosophical realities. Those who conceived and developed the ancient symbologies, later used by Egyptian and Hebrew sages and prophets, understood that the patterns observed within space-time were manifestations of core principles and patterns within the hidden aspects of our reality. As already discussed, the expert selection of symbols matched with profound insights about the structure and functionality of this universe, resulted in a system far beyond the abilities of most of humanity to comprehend, until now. Following the rule of modeling the inherent functionality embodied by the simplest, to explain the seemingly chaotic or impenetrable behaviors of the complex, this synchronized hierarchy of symbologies produced a system that accurately and effectively models how our reality functions at all levels.
For example, the point within the circle, as a symbol for the sun, also purposely incorporates the natural laws of the behavior and effects of light and heat upon matter (earth). The light-heat source represented by the center point is the sun-star and the circle is a planet in motion, also symbolized as earth. First, light emanates outward from the center and barring obstruction will uniformly fill a void (space), growing less intense with distance from the source due to the ever-increasing volume of dark space in relation to the light source. As far as our body types are concerned, there is an ideal habitable (life-supporting) zone around our star. The circle thereby also represents the literal ideal life-supporting distance from the central star, not too hot or too cold for our biological variables (a.k.a. the goldilocks zone). By the way, keep in mind that this 2-D model purposely alludes to 4-D reality in space-time, hence 3-D space and objects moving through a fourth dimension of time, motion, and change. Accordingly, suns, stars, and planets are spherical objects in space, just as they are in the natural world.
When light encounters the surface of a planetary body heat is a result, calibrated by the size and intensity of the light source, its distance from the destination’s surface, and the planet’s component variables. Once again, the surface is symbolized as earth and is purposely equated with the dividing line between the seven spirits of good and evil of the Doctrine of Two Spirits. Keeping this in mind, reflect upon the model of the cross and four elements, where fire is the light-heat source that rises above the horizon (surface line) in the east, travels through the heavens-air to reach and effect the waters (clouds, seas), and then the earth.
Consider again that the bottom half of the Doctrine of Two Spirits corresponds with the symbolism of earth. Notice that light (truth) is at the very top of the upper half that corresponds with air, sky, and heavens, just as the light of the sun and stars are atop the visible natural hierarchy. Justice (heat) is where the air, light, and earth meet at the surface between them, which is where heat occurs in nature. Thereby, the positioning of truth and justice within the Doctrine of Two Spirits is determined by the natural laws that govern the primary symbols (four elements, light, heat, etc.) used as components within this symbolic model.
Notice how the science associated with the literal symbols perfectly models the effects of truth (light) and justice (heat) upon greed, materialism, falsehoods, ignorance, etc. (earth). Another symbol used throughout Egyptian and Hebrew symbolic narratives is “burn,” which is what fire or great heat does to material things. Fire and burning are also used to sanitize, hence to cleanse of impurity. This is the key to proving what the ancient prophecies and the related symbolic uses of light, fire, and burn have always truly meant. Consequently, assertions throughout the New Testament that “light” refers to “Jesus” are blatant deceptions meant to confound the truth about pivotal symbology. The proof of the truth is once again found through science and nature, instead of religion and mysticism.
The point within a circle also models the symbolism of moral dualism expressed by the Doctrine of Two Spirits. Understanding that light symbolizes truth and heat symbolizes justice, the center point is the sun-star and light source (truth). The outer circle is the boundary of where justice resides, at the earth’s surface as shown by the Doctrine of Two Spirits. Thereby, this model shows light and heat reaching the earth to cause and support life. Thereby, the symbolism of “life” that has been greatly confounded and misrepresented by Christianity actually refers to truth and justice, hence the same things that Maat symbolizes. Conversely, going below the surface out of the range of light and air causes death and darkness, hence the symbolism of death, the dead, and blind, which clearly refer to the opposite of truth, justice, and Maat. Now, like we did with the cross and four elements, let’s merge the Doctrine of Two Spirits with the point within a circle.
This time though, we’ll do so as concentric circles, starting with truth as the center point, out to justice as the outer circle. The other spirits (wisdom though freewill) become concentric circles in this model, spreading outward (emanating, shining) from truth (light, sun). Outside of these seven are the remaining “spirits of evil,” which are represented by the darkness (absence of truth) beyond the optimum light and heat zone. Also, since the seven spirits of god/good are also symbolized as the new temple, the dark expanse beyond the boundaries of truth and justice matches the area outside of the “temple.”
Note also that the word temple just happens to allude to the head, brain, and mind, hence the realm of thought symbolized by air and the “head” of the ankh. Thereby, outside or beyond the “temple” exists the physical and material, hence space-time. In this model, the concentric lines are modeling radiation (shining) outward from the center point (sun-star, light), hence not static zones but a continuing emanation. Thereby, it also shows that truth is the source and starting point of all of the remaining six “spirits” and like heat/justice, all seven radiate outward from the source. Keep in mind that this also models a hidden source for the light, which we’ll cover later.
Once again, considering the fact that this 2-D model refers to a spherical one, these are seven concentric spheres. Accordingly, the number seven is a purposeful allusion to the seven spiritual-conceptual dimensions that precede and define space-time. Thereby, this would show space-time existing outside of (beyond) the seven concentric circles or spheres. See how this matches the symbolism of seven heavens and seven spheres? Take some time and do an Internet search for seven heavens and spheres for more details.
Genesis 28:12
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Contemplate the structure of the Doctrine of Two Spirits and reconsider what the rungs (and rings...) of Jacob’s ladder symbolize. I mention this here because we are exploring a symbol for the sun that is very important to Freemasons, as is Jacob’s ladder.
Various instructive drawings (tracing boards) important within Freemasonry show Jacob’s ladder ascending from the earth to the sun and/or stars, as in this example of a “first degree” tracing board. Another detail of various versions of these tracing boards show angels, “spirits,” and/or other symbols ascending and descending the ladder, as described in this verse from Genesis. Pay close attention that this image replaces “angels of God” with other more obvious symbols, demonstrating the understanding that angels were always meant to be symbolic, not literal. This also alludes to “medu neter,” the Egyptian term for their symbology, which means “words (or language) of the gods.” The symbols are thereby “angels of god” and angels are symbols. Notice the point with a circle at the base of the ladder. See the larger copy of this image in the last addendum.
There is also often a group of seven stars, sometimes within a cloud like the five stars in image 17 on the front cover. Notice the seven stars and seven-pointed sun-star in this image? The combinations of these symbols come from the Bible and related symbolism, but are shown together in different contexts as instructive insights into their meaning. These details are very important to grasping the links between the symbolism of the Doctrine of Two Spirits, sun, stars, angels, and other symbolism in Revelation and elsewhere. The following verse directly links the seven stars and angels to the seven spirits of god. Likewise, sun, star, and angel symbolism is used redundantly in Revelation, more so than any other symbolic narrative. Also notice that this verse is labeled “reconstructed,” which I discuss later in this chapter and in greater detail in the subsequent volumes.
Revelation 1:20 (reconstructed)
The seven stars are the angels of the Seven Spirits of God: and the seven candlesticks that you saw are the wisdom of the Seven Spirits of God.
There are various other symbolic allusions to seven (or 14) steps or levels that also perfectly match the Doctrine of Two Spirits. Now to merge these concentric circle-spheres, seven steps or levels, Jacob’s ladder, and other allusions to the seven spirits of god/good. Consider the emanations from the sun described earlier and imagine standing on the earth’s surface looking into the sky and seeing these emanations as seven zones, spheres, steps, or the rungs of a ladder frozen in place. Just as Genesis 28:12 says, there are steps-rungs ascending upward from the earth, perfectly matching the symbolism of air (sky, heavens) and the dual Doctrine of Two Spirits outlines.
Genesis 9:13
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Genesis 9:14
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
To add insight and perspective, also think of them as a huge rainbow in space or a structure like Saturn’s rings and how that might appear from the surface looking up at them. Also, seven spheres would present a similar image to someone standing on the surface looking up. The traditional description of a rainbow is a seven-colored arc. Colors also symbolize a varying scale of character between good and evil since they are wavelengths of light, between white and black (like the checkered floor in the previous image). Rainbows are the product of sun light through clouds and are called a token of the covenant, hence a symbol for it. This symbolism purposely matches the Seven Spirits of God and Amen’s headdress. Now consider how we, as tiny points within the great expanse of space-time, are often unable to perceive the curvature of the earth or other large bodies, phenomena, and systems. In a similar way, very few people are able to discern the true nature of reality, its rules, and their myriad manifestations. They are not so easily discerned until one reaches the “mountaintop” to gain fundamental insights into the “big picture,” both above and below.
With this in mind, reconsider the listing of the Seven Spirits of God, but symbolized as a huge ring system emanating from the sun. As we stand with our feet on the surface, we exist at the meeting point of earth and air, which also symbolizes walking between good and evil, positive and negative, just like the checkered floor in the previous image is designed to symbolize. When we live within a civilization based on the items shown by the seven spirits of evil, we have our heads (mindsets) in the “earth” and are thereby symbolized as dwelling upon or within it as the blind (without light or sight), and the dead (without air, heat, or life). We can either choose to exist with heads beneath the surface and within darkness or to climb (ascend) the “ladder” to live within the “seven heavens.” Also, notice how this parallels the symbolism and meaning of ascending to a mountaintop (attaining wisdom). Since most exist “within the earth,” the first step heavenward (into air, heat. and life) must be justice! While there is injustice truth is blocked and chaos reigns in the darkness. Hopefully, this enough detail to grasp what has been symbolically alluded to and purposely obfuscated over the last few millennia.
Dualism and the Sun
Another aspect of the point within a circle as a solar symbol is seen with the version between two parallel lines. One common Masonic interpretation of the dual lines is that they represent the two St. John’s days, which are within a couple of days of the summer and winter solstices. In other words, in this interpretation the two lines bounding the circle (earth’s orbit) represent a year’s time (one cycle, circle) between them. The circle thereby represents the earth’s orbit around the sun-star that the point represents. This directly relates to the previous chapter’s discussions about cycles and dualism, since the solstices in this interpretation represent opposing times of the year; summer and winter, hot and cold, longest days and shortest. Thereby, it obscurely alludes to the underlying concept of cyclic reality continually flowing between opposite polarities, as covered in detail in the previous chapter.
It is this underlying principle that drives the rotation of planets, orbits around larger bodies, and rotating galaxies, which are orbiting stars. It is undoubtedly behind what scientists have interpreted as an expanding universe, though they are unable to observe enough of the big picture for long enough to get it right yet. Consider the source of the flat earth interpretations and how the great size and complexity of the universe would lead to similarly erroneous assertions from those lacking a more complete picture of what they are observing.
Conclusions based on misperceptions from insufficient data are usually wrong. The big bang theory fits into this category, since scientists are also misinterpreting what the evidence of dwindling complexity actually means. Since there are seven conceptual-spiritual dimensions that precede space-time, dwindling complexity continues into the rules, knowledge, patterns, and concepts that underlie and define space-time. Thereby, the microcosmos from which this universe arises is not physical in nature but a core set of defining and all encompassing concepts. Once again, this is modeled by the point within the circle as the juxtaposition between the microcosmos and macrocosmos.
Similarly, many fail to grasp the important point of the concept expressed as “seeing the big picture.” Since it is not possible for humans to perceive every detail of a large system simultaneously, a conceptual synopsis or illustrative model is required. The in-common goal of both symbolism and wisdom is to succinctly enumerate the macro (big picture), by reducing its complexity down to the simple common denominators, hence a microcosm. This is also modeled by the point within a circle with the point is a single degree that represents the core essence of the whole 360-degree circle. Thereby, it illustrates that grasping the simple defining conceptual component(s) of a larger system and/or knowledge base results in clarifying insights into the whole, This is what “seeing” (understanding, grasping) the “big picture” (macrocosm) actually means.
Understanding the small picture imparts understanding of the core truths (wisdom) that organize and define all of the complexities of the big picture. This model also illustrates that quality of data is far more important than quantity. In other words, that wisdom is far more important than knowledge when seeking to grasp the whole. Both wisdom and expertly used symbology could be compared to thumbnail images of larger ones that are used provide succinct representative insight into the whole. Another relevant analogy is that of a holographic image where every part of the resulting image carries all the information necessary to reconstruct the whole. Since our universe is also holographic in nature and based on wisdom, this provides another important insight into the nature of reality.
As you should already grasp, there is more than space-time wisdom addressed by this symbol, and others. The sun as a symbol for truth and justice also expresses the moral aspects of dualism. When looking up at the sun, the darkness of night and the cold expanse of space in the earth’s shadow beyond its orbit, are below your feet during the day. Dark and cold symbolize the lack of truth and justice, as shown by the Doctrine of Two Spirits, with light (truth) above and dark (false) below. Since the center line symbolically represents the earth’s surface, it is obvious that it and associated symbology were designed using natural observations that put light (truth) at the top, heat (justice) at the surface, and dark and cold below them.
The sun symbol between two parallel lines is an obscure expression of this, illustrating dualism as left and right lines, with truth and justice between them. The two lines on opposite sides are an unequivocal symbol for dualism. This variation of the sun symbol is an adaptation of the Egyptian version with dual cobras. There are also numerous versions of the sun disk, not the point within a circle, shown between two horns and atop the heads of gods, goddesses, and representative animals. The head symbolizes mindset and anything placed atop the head was meant to symbolize a defining thought or concept, in the very same way that we place a light bulb above the head, or a cloud or white balloon (as in comic books) with words or pictures used to illustrate thoughts.
Placing the sun in the same position was a symbolic expression that truth and justice (a.k.a. Maat, sun, fire, light, heat) are the primary purpose and outward expression of the wisdom of dualism (tw
