Let’s look at something totally different now to suggest that the ancient beings of this world were perhaps more evolvedthan we give them credit for. Figure 1-7 is a phonetic translation of a Sanskrit poem. It was shown in an article published inClarion Call magazine, in the early eighties, I believe. The English translation is shown below the Sanskrit. The teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, Ram Dass’s teacher, are very important to me. It was his belief that “the bestform to see God is in every form.” I’ve also been exposed to Yogananda’s work and cherish who he was. Later we’ll betalking about Sri Yukteswar and some of his work. I’ve been intensely involved in almost all the major religions. I’veresisted the Sikhs because I do not believe that military preparation is necessary, but I’ve studied and practiced almost allthe rest of them—Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Taoist, Sufi, Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist. I’ve deeply studied Tao-ism and Sufism—I spent eleven years with Sufism. However, through all this study, the most powerful teachers for me have been theNative Americans. It was the Indians who opened the doorway for all my spiritual growth to take place. They’ve been avery powerful influence in my life. But that’s another story, some of which I’ll give in time.

At one point the angels led me to a Canadian man who was an alchemist and who, amongst other things, wasactually turning mercury into gold (though it can also be done from lead, which is more difficult). I studied alchemy for twoyears with him and watched this process with my own eyes. He had a sphere of glass about 18" in diameter filled with aliquid, and little bubbles of mercury would rise into it. They would go through a series of fluorescent colors and changes,rise to the top, turn into little balls of solid gold, then sink down to the bottom. Then he would coll Alittle less than 13,000 years ago, something very dramatic happened inthe history of our planet that we’re going to explore in great detail,because what happened in the past is now affecting every aspect of Immediately I took the video tapes off the market. This, however, did not stop the video from continuing to be sold. Peoplewanted the information, so they began to copy the existing tapes and give, sell or lease them to people worldwide. By 1993, ithas been estimated that there were approximately 100,000 sets of these tapes in the world.

Please understand, I am nottrying to discredit a major religion. I am merely reporting. You see, there arearound 5000 Egyptian archaeologists in the world, and they all pretty muchagree with each other in most ways. This agreement has become a tradition.They make little changes, but not too many (and not too fast, either), andmost agree on the age of the pyramids. All of these archaeologists are Mus-lim, with a few exceptions, and their holy book is the Koran. The Koran, in itstraditional interpretation, says that creation began about 6000 years ago. Soif a Muslim were to say that a building is 8000 years old, he would be disputing their bible. They cannot do that, they simplycannot, so they won’t even talk about it, won’t even discuss it.Have a look at the diagrams below to see how The Flower Of Life is born from repeated iterations of The Seed Of Life: the flower of life and the seven chakras The Vitruvian Man & The Flower Of Life Leonardo Da Vinci And The Flower Of Life All these things are an introduction. I’ll be skipping all over the place, talkingabout many different subjects that won’t seemingly be tied together; then slowly,as we proceed, I’ll bring them all together in one coherent picture. The Flower Of Life is an ancient sacred geometric symbol that's found in many different cultures and traditions around the world. In fact, Egyptian, Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic and Christian cultures all have numerous representations of this ancient symbol in their art and architecture. The oldest known example can be found in the Temple Of Osiris on a wall relief, and is believed to be about 6,000 years old. If you want to learn more about the importance of harmony and divine balance in Ancient Egypt, please have a look at The 42 Laws Of Ma'at. Known as the flower of life, this blueprint of creation has come to be synonymous with the MerKaBa: a living field of energy surrounding your physical body. Conscious of everything going on in the Universe, your MerKaBa can be activated with a special meditation that allows you to enter the fifth-dimensional, or heavenly, state of reality. Modern-day mystic Maureen St. Germain has spent her entire career studying the profound power of this and other meditations as spiritual tools and, in fact, recently re-released an updated edition of her best-selling book by the same name ( Beyond the Flower of Life ). First of all, we’re referring to the brightest star in the sky(with an apparent magnitude of-1.4)—Sirius, now called SiriusA. If you look at Orion’s Belt, those three stars in a row, andfollow the line downward to your left, you see a very bright star,which is Sirius A. If you follow them upward about twice the dis-tance, you see the Pleiades. The information in the Dogon cavespecifically showed another star rotating around Sirius. The

Artists like Leonardo da Vinci, were fascinated by the pattern, as well as its mathematical implications. In fact, one of his more famous works, the Vitruvian Man, which depicts a man with multiple arms and legs, is believed to have been inspired by his interest in the flower of life.From one single point, as the big bang postulates, consciousness was formed. Consciousness duplicated itself, and the Vesica Piscis was born. This drawing [Fig. 1-3] is truly remarkable. The informationin it came from a book about Sirius, The Sirius Mystery by Rob-ert Temple. He had, I was told, between ten and twelve differentsubjects to choose from, each one of which would lead to thesame conclusion but from a totally different point of view. I’mglad he chose the one he did, because it happens to relate toanother aspect of what we will be talking about. Sirius for just a moment, then it’s gone. This is called the heliacal rising of Sirius,which was a very important moment for most of the ancient world, not just for theDogons and Egypt. This was a revolutionary act that had never been attempted before in this cycle. According to the conventional version ofhistory, this act took place in Egypt during the time of Saqqara, but I have my doubts. I personally believe that it took placeabout 500 years earlier. Saqqara was built during the First Dynasty, approximately 3300 B.C. When we talk about the pyramidsolder than Saqqara, you will understand why I believe this. Have a look at the diagram above, where I've noted The Vesica Piscis in blue. Note that the shape it forms, when duplicated, forms The Flower Of Life.
