- 2. Temple of Sakkara A high wall encircled the complex known as Sakkara. This wall was so constructed that it generated a wave of energy that also encircled the whole complex. This electrical field protected the complex. No one could enter unless they were invited.
- 3. This doorway was the only opening to the Sakkara complex. If the individual was to enter he or she must overcome all fear and insecurity. The individual who could not control his feelings could not enter.
- 4. To achieve the ability to exit into the court of the Emerald Fire the individual must walk through this long corridor of columns. To enter this complex was an initiation in itself. Only the pure of heart could enter.
- 5. These two pillars once stood on the top of the Temple of Sacrifice. If the candidate could walk through the light generated by these pillars he or she could enter the Temple of Beauty. The electrical devices in all the temples of Sakkara have been removed. Only the stone models are left to remind the individual of the past importance of this place.
- 6. The white stones in a circle shows where the exit point from the Temple of Sacrifice was located.
- 7. This picture shows where the sacred pool once stood. The students were taught to levitate over this pool. Along the walls of this school were placed these tuning devices. Here the students could learn to change their aura by sound and color.
- 8. Each chamber in this school was tuned to a different frequency. By entering the different rooms you could feel the different vibrational level. Here the student was taught to control the different levels of vibration.
- 9. These steps allowed the individual to levitate from one frequency to another. The school of vibration was set up to teach the student the mysteries of overcoming matter. This is done by learning to control the electromagnetic frequencies of the brain.
- 10. After the student demonstrated his ability to control his aura by walking through the Temple of Sacrifice he was ready to enter the Temple of Beauty. This is the entrance way. Only those that could maintain an Emerald Green in their electromagnetic field could enter.
- 11. The wall at this point is no longer here. At one time it encircled this whole complex. The wall was used to generate an electrical field. This wall could activate the Temple of Beauty and bring in the teachers from the higher planes. The choir director's podium was where a master stood and directed the students in a song that set up the vibrations to activate the whole complex.
- 12. Each niche or bay is where a student stood. Here they could add in turns their own vibrations to the common cause. In this way they could tune their vibrations to one another. The blocks were moved by the ability of the students to channel the mind vibration of the masters.
- 13. This is the final stage of initiation (the subjection of EGO). This temple is also known as the Temple of the Emerald Fire.
- 14. The temple of Beauty must be a stepped pyramid so that a pulsed energy field can be generated. The Temples' action was to provide a center for bodily materialization from other planes of consciousness.
