The geography of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt resembles the anatomy of a body. This is why the word Egypt in esoteric texts means body. A much older writing used the description “the flesh pots of Egypt.” Why is there so much interest in body description in esoteric texts? The body is a metaphor for the components of the mind. The drawing of the digits of a hand refers to part of the brain. The geometric ratios that go into drawing the digits apply to formulae to activate the mind. In the anatomy of a body there lies a middle kingdom. This is called the solar plexus. The location of this kingdom is essential for how the lower mind is organized. This solar plexus is partitioned by a dividing line. The nerves of the body extending from the south of this line to the tail bone are collectively mirroring the life-forms of the earth. This is where the animal of the human resides. When reading the word animal it is important to understand the meaning. The noun does not refer incorrectly to an animal. It refers to a type of mind. Even what you perceive to be an animal has a solar plexus. Students of theology have found trouble in what their thoughts tell them and what they read. This is why it is important when working with esoteric texts to have a dictionary as well as an anatomy book. An animal mind refers to the Latin compound of two words to make a hidden meaning. The Latin word ani and mal refer to bad life. This is not a quality of experience. This is a vital component that belongs to the mind. The ani + mal mind must evolve to the next stage of the 3 4 5 triangle. Each of the minds in the physical body can be ascribe a center of operation for each stage represented on the triangle. The first matter can evolve into the first five minds with the help of the father and mother. These provide the necessary forces to the development of the mind. The beginning starts with the stone. Notice how Mother supports the four minds as the square resting on the earth. A careful consideration shows the geometric parts of the point makes up the lines and the lines make up the right triangle. Two right triangles make a square. This shows the two parts of the mind. The physical and its astral image. They are the base of the pyramid. These two support the higher minds that rest upon the apex looking up at the sky. The Adam of the earth refers to this mind. Like a mirror placed at the divided solar plexus. There is reflected in the northern direction a similar collection of nerves that reach up into the head. This northern body houses the spiritual Ego. The meaning of the phrase the salvation of the Ego lies in the midst of Egypt can be of help to the reader once the location of Egypt can be found. Various traditions tell of purification at the solar plexus. The birth of Heracles is in the solar plexus. The crowns of Egypt. The white crown is for Upper Egypt. The red crown is for Lower Egypt The Great Pyramid of Cheops is situated exactly on the geographic center between the north and south border. If you look at a card with pip of a diamond carefully you will eventually realize a cross can be drawn. That cross also be drawn upon the Great Pyramid. These motifs in art refer to your solar plexus. The six of diamonds is the middle kingdom of your intellect. In Kabbalah this is called Tipherath. The English translation is Beauty. When the lower mind and upper mind unite this is going to be a beautiful moment for this aids greatly in the salvation of the spiritual ego. The purpose of symbols in art is to provide the mind the tools necessary to work with the forces of nature. Some of these forces can be felt directly. Such as the collection of mental thoughts formed when riding a bike during a bitter cold gale of wind. A different set of thoughts are produced if the mind and its lower physical body vehicle are sitting down on day of sunshine and comfortable weather with a beverage and the moment to enjoy the experience. Notice these forces interact with the mind to affect the thoughts. To go in the other direction would be to use the mind to affect the outcome. Here the mind uses one of its powers called imagination. The art design if understood by the operator can be useful to assist in mixing the power of imagination with the power of will. The study of what the symbols correspond to leads us to organs of the physical vehicle. These forces operate at centers of the body. One such example is the Ibis head of Thoth. This symbol is one of the conformations of the Pineal gland. The force is called meditative power. A way to acquire this power anytime you desire would be to use a picture containing the Ibis. It is the shape of the bird that provides this visual associations. The bird can resemble the shape of a heart in some of its poses. The left and right hemispheres of the cerebrum and the pineal gland can also achieve this conformation. Occult physiology speaks of a heart just beyond the ninth heaven. This is talking of a conformation the cerebrum is able to achieve. This an active conformation that allows meditation. We are describing a process that requires imagination and will to achieve. The tarot key 17 called The Star, has this ibis bird drawn poised upon a tree. The picture is the same meaning mentioned. When viewing the image the pineal gland will activate the power of meditation. The violet border is a symbol to achieve the mental state of Nirvana. How this works on the mind and nervous system is explained at the end of the article. The use of the word Egypt as the meaning of body explains what the meaning of soul's captivity upon the earth. The term Upper-Egypt means the astral world. The bodily training in the Martial Arts has a deeper purpose. That is to assist in the process of unification of the physical and astral body. The symbol to represent this is to form a cross of two flowers. One red rose, and one white lily. By the use of this symbol the forces involved in unification are assisted by mental action of the operator. These flowers are the crowns of upper and lower Egypt. The astral body and the physical body. Please examine the picture of the Two of Wands. In the front lower left can be observed this cross of a red rose and white lily. The mountain and lake in the background is the nervous system on the astral side. This is reversed from the physical body. The mountains would be drawn on the left side and the lake on the right. Use of ritual and movements in body must result in movements in higher minds. In a state of sleep the ritual is relied upon. Questions about ritual must lead to a desire to know. Learning how to work with symbols to use forces as an aid of the mind. This is freeing the mind from stone. A mineral existence recognizes only the physical body. Since the mind can shift between the physical and astral at different moments it is useful to have a map and ask where is upper and where is lower part of the body. If you indicate your answers you will find the result to change. This happens because just as breathing has an inhale and exhale your mind shifts into the astral and then into the physical. You will feel at home, comfortable, and then a shift occurs. You experience a slight disorientation. This is noticed when you made a mistake. The realization occurs when return to the state of consciousness you had departed. This is especially noted if your mind starts drifting away onto other topics. A firm grip on the Reins. The kidneys is necessary. The Great Pyramid contains some parts of the mind. These are inscribed as chambers. The pyramid is designed based on the body and the forces that act upon the body. The layout and craft of the artisans describe the organs, and the hierarchy of forces that interact in the various spheres between heaven and earth. To study each of components brings an introduction into their Mystery school. The information of the chambers is placed onto the court cards. These card images are used by the operator to work with the unseen props of a stage, or the instruments at an altar. King, symbol of Spirit, the essential Self in man [This is the Self expressed in the mind.] Queen, symbol of Soul, the inner pattern part of a particular physical personality. Knight, symbol of that particular focus of energies, and of the personal sense of selfhood, which constitutes the Ego seated in the heart of a particular physical personality. The key of Princess or Page is a choice of the operator. This key is a symbol of the lower vehicle. The symbol of body, personal vehicle of a particular physical body. Wands the idea of the Spirit: the King of wands, the Soul the Queen of wands, the Ego: the knight of wands, and the body: the page of wands Cups the Patterns of the Spirit: the King of cups, the Soul the Queen of cups, the Ego: the cups, and the body: the page of cups Swords Processes requisite to the manifestation of the Spirit: the King of swords, the Soul the Queen of swords, the Ego: the knight of swords, and the body: the page of swords Pentacles Represents the actual manifestation of the Spirit: the King of pentacles, the Soul the Queen of pentacles, the Ego: the knight, and the body: the page The wings of this Ibis bird are unfolded. Note the location of the tree and hill are on the right hand side of the key. The two key images are astral opposites. This is the form the pineal gland takes to all spinal to flow into the ventricle in the back of the head. This occurs in the Twelfth Hour. The mental state is called Nirvana by yogic schools. The colors of this key are different. The central image in both keys are of the third and fourth ventricles and their respective spinal fluid producing glands as hand held vessels. The goddess of wisdom regulates the flow. By meditating on the picture your respiration will change this changes affects the fluid production. This also will cause a change as your pineal gland increases activity. The pouring of spinal fluid onto the earth is the job of the fourth ventricle. The earth is the spinal chord. The stars above are the mind centers along the chord that need the spinal fluid. The pool is the cerebrum region and the entire cerebrum and spinal chord are surrounded by this fluid as well as having the flow internally in rivers, streams, and lakes. The liquid collects in the sacrum region. This is symbolized as a Spade and appears on a suit of cards. The liquid is resurrected and returned to the head where the process repeats.
