The Great Pyramid

"...said by many to be the oldest building on the surface of the earth, is the great symbol of composite man. In other words it stands for man as a unit."-The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall Pg 73

"The principal seat of the Egyptian Mysteries was at Memphis, in the neighborhood of the great Pyramid.” – The origin of Freemasonry and Knights templar by Bennett, John Richardson, (1907) pg. 7

"The principal seat of the Mysteries was at Memphis, in the neighborhood of the great Pyramid (within the Pyramid). They were of two kinds, the greater and the less; the former being the mysteries of Osiris and Serapis; the latter those of Isis." - Ancient Mystic Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg. 130

"they (Pyramids) were built for no other purpose than for Supreme Initiation, for it must be remembered that there have ever been two Religions founded on the one Principle." - Ancient Mystic Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg. 30

"...there is only one real pyramid in all the world. Even the others in Egypt are but copies of the Great Pyramid, and were used as tombs for the Pharaohs, but nobody was ever found in Cheops, nor were there ever any signs that it had been so used."-The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall

 "..the later Jewish High Priests constructed the allegory of Solomon's Temple -- a building which never had a real existence, any more than had King Solomon himself, who is simply, and as much a solar myth as is the still later Hiram Abif, of the Masons, as Ragon has well demonstrated. Thus, if the measurements of this allegorical temple, the symbol of the cycle of Initiation, coincide with those of the Great Pyramid, it is due to the fact that the former were derived from the latter through the Tabernacle of Moses." - The Secret Doctrine [[Vol. 1, Page]] 314-315 By Helena Blavatsky

"the All- Seeing Eye, the symbol of the Supreme Being, the Great Architect of the Universe, because it appears on every U.S. one-dollar bill, above a topless pyramid, a Masonic symbol for the unfinished Temple of Solomon.)"- Born in Blood: The Lost Secrets of Freemasonry by John J. Robinson Pg. 223

The Tower of Babel was said to be the very first pyramid it is likely that the Great Pyramid is a copy of it.

"All pyramids are symbols of fire,..."-Melchizedek & the Mystery of Fire by Manly P. Hall pg. 17

"The shape of the Pyramid itself has one of the deepest meanings to the Initiates. A Pyramid, the triangular form of it, signifies fire, and the cubical form the earth visited by fire. Fire in turn signifies Love, God, the Fatherhood of God." - Ancient Masonry Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg. 30

"Here we see the pyramid laid out so that the four triangles and the square are clearly seen. This represents man once again, and the ancient Pyramid is man offering his higher being upon the altar of the Great Fire Spirit."-The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall Pg 76

"The four-sided base of the pyramid represents the four elements of which man's bodies are composed. These are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon, or earth, water, fire, and air. These are called the base of all things, and upon this base the four bodies of man are raised, each from its own element. Thus the physical body is raised from the earth. The vital body is raised from the water, the emotional body from the fire, and the mental body from the air. There are twelve lines used in the drawing of the four triangles, which stand for the twelvefold constitution of man when it is complete: the threefold body, the threefold mind, the threefold soul, and the threefold spirit. It also gives us the twelve signs of the zodiac, divided into their respective groups."-The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall pg. 75, 77


"Metaphorically speaking, first the soul becomes boundless, because the restrictions are removed; then, as the sides of the elemental pyramid dissolve into illusion, does it become the boundless light, and symbolized as the Microcosmic Shin it beholds the Macrocosmic Shin, whereupon God (the Four-dimensional World) is seen face to face, and the hexagram, the symbol of the Great Work, is formulated. " The Secret Wisdom Of The Qabalah A Study in Jewish Mystical Thought By J. F. C. Fuller pg 81

"It is said that in ancient times the Sphinx was the gateway of the pyramid, and that there was an underground passage which led from the Sphinx to Cheapo.

This would make the symbolism even more perfect, for the gateway to the spirit is through the bodies according to the ancients." -The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall Pg 79, 80

"There are three great rooms in the pyramid which are of great interest to the student. The highest is the King’s Chamber, then below that is the Queen's Chamber, and down below the surface of the earth is the Pit. Here we again find the great correlation between the pyramid and man. The three rooms are the three great divisions in man which are the seats of the threefold spirit." -The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall pg. 80

---

"The lower room is the generative system under the control of Jehovah. The center room or Queen’s Chamber is the heart, under the control of the Christ; and the upper room or the King’s Chamber in the brain, which is under the control of the Father. In this upper room is the coffer made of stone, the meaning of which has never been explained, but which the student recognizes as the third ventrical in the brain. It is quite certain also that this coffer was used as a tomb during initiation, when as is the case in the Masonic initiations of today, (which are the remnants of the ancient mysteries) the candidate was buried in the earth and resurrected, a symbol of the death of the lower man and the liberation of the higher." -The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall pg. 80

"The Trinity in man lives in the three great chambers of the human body, from which they radiate their power throughout the three worlds. These centers are the brain, the heart, and the reproductive system. These are the three main chambers of the pyramid and also the rooms in which arc given the Entered Appentrice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason's degrees of Blue Lodge Masonry. In these three chambers dwell the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, who are symbolized by the three-lettered word, AUM." Anatomy of Man Manly P. Hall pg. 8

“Just as the great pyramid near Mexico City is called ... The Pyramid of The Sun," so also The Great Pyramid of Egypt was dedicated to Horus, "The Sun." A picture of this you may see on the back of any one-dollar bill. Above the pyramid is The Eye / The Sun— The Eye of Horus /The Sun (of God).” - That Old Time Religion 2003, by  Jordan Maxwell pg. 51

"It is very remarkable that these (Masonic) marks are to be found in all countries--in the chambers of the Great Pyramid at Gizeh,"-The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall pg. 77-81

"The (on the reverse side of the United States seal) 72 stones are the 72 arrangements of the Tetragrammaton, or the four-lettered name of God, in Hebrew. These four letters can be combined in 72 combinations, resulting in what is called the Shemhamforesh, which represents, in turn, the laws, powers, and energies of Nature by which the perfection of man is achieved. The Pyramid then is the Universal house, and above its unfinished apex is the radiant emblem of the Great Architect of the Universe." - The Secret Destiny of America - Manly P Hall

" PYRAMID is symbolic of the shape of the human chakra. The missing capstone represents the unfinished work and the ALL-SEEING EYE represents the gnosis and all-knowing when one reaches the godhead. This state is also known as "SAMADI" or "SUPER CONSCIOUSNESS." ...

... The United States, government and all, was founded upon Masonic prinicples and is not Christian by any stretch of the imagination. Original Freemasonry was of Satan." - Joy of Satan compiled by: Logan McDonnell Information by: JoyOfSatan.com Pg. 83
