      For the date that the Cayce readings set for the building of the Great Pyramid, what better example of “as above, so below” could be provided in the stars than this stellar triangle that also represents three celestial birds circling above. These would not only represent the pyramid itself, but the Benu bird of rebirth and resurrection. Such representation would fit aptly for the initiation purposes of the Great Pyramid from the Cayce readings.

      (Q) Please describe Jesus’ initiations in Egypt, telling if the Gospel reference to “three days and nights in the grave or tomb,” possibly in the shape of a cross, indicate a special initiation.

      (A) This is a portion of the initiation—it is a part of the passage through that to which each soul is to attain in its development, as has the world through each period of their incarnation in the earth. As is supposed, the record of the earth through the passage through the tomb, or the pyramid, is that through which each entity, each soul, as an initiate must pass for the attaining to the releasing of same—as indicated by the empty tomb, which has never been filled…2067-7

      As stated in this reading an initiation is “part of the passage through that to which each soul is to attain in its development…” The word initiation, at its roots, means a going in, a beginning, participation. Often it is used in relation to rite of passage ceremonies or involvement with secret rites. In the context of this work initiation can be considered the movement on the path towards a higher consciousness, a unification of the spiritual with the physical. This would be considered the journey of the awakening of the Oneness that is shared in all. This would be the bringing of Heaven and Earth together, in an evolvement in mind, body, and spirit in mutual participation with God. The ultimate realization that the microcosm and microcosm not only reflect it in each other, but that they are one with each other.

      Again the number 3 is noted in this rebirth-and-resurrection initiation matching the trinity of stars above, the symbolism of the three-bird constellations, and the Egyptian Benu bird. Interesting to note is even at 10,500 BCE this triangular trinity of stars still incorporates much of the aspects of Mr. Collins’ Cygnus observations. This theorized date of construction receives more validating evidence in that at 10,500 BCE the Sphinx, which faces due east, would have been greeting the constellation Leo rising directly east in the night sky. Dr. Schoch notes that Bauval's research (see The Orion Mystery) on the alignment of the three stars in Orion's/Osiris’ belt in 10,400 BCE shows: “that the pattern of Orion's belt seen on the west of the Milky Way matches, with uncanny precision, the patterns and alignments of the three Giza pyramids!”²⁴ So as Egyptologists and researchers look to the stars above to help validate their theories of the construction date and purpose of the Great Pyramid below, we are provided with insight to the Pyramid's true purpose and are given another validation from the Cayce readings.

      When looking and mapping the celestial sphere of the heavens, the earth's round surface is projected on it. Declination is considered the equivalent of measuring degrees of latitude on the earth's surface. In a very curious “coincidental” event of measuring the difference of degrees of said latitude between these three polar stars, the results are 11, 22, and 33. In numerology these are considered “master numbers”: 11 = symbolizing psychic illumination, 22 = the master builder, illumination with grounding, and 33 = Christ Consciousness or Master Teacher. This 1-2-3 power punch through the stars declinations certainly emphasizes the significance of the trinity triangle of the North stars. The number 7 will also be seen as a significant number in ancient times representing the achievement of spiritual awareness, and its use is found in many aspects such as the seven days of creation, the seven ancient planets, the seven chakras, the seven deadly sins, the seven virtues, the seven sacraments, among others. Dr. Schoch notes that the number 7 was sacred to the Egyptians, “as a cosmic number, one that joined earth and sky.”²⁵ The significance of such numbers being incorporated within the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge will be discussed with greater detail in Chapter 11.

      By many people these facts have to be called “coincidental” in that it is not believed ancient civilizations at the time, let alone 10,500 BCE, had the ability to make such measurements, and again the ancients are not given the credit they are due with the hubristic thinking that our current civilization must be the most advanced in all aspects.

      Uncannily the Edgar Cayce readings actually address this apparent remarkable ability to measure longitudes and latitudes at such an ancient date:

      There were begun some memorials in the Nubian land which still may be seen, even in this period, in the mountains of the land. Whole mountains were honeycombed, and were dug into sufficient to where the perpetual fires are still in activity in these various periods, when the priest then began to show the manifestations of those periods of reckoning the longitude (as termed now), latitude, and the activities of the planets and stars, and the various groups of stars, constellations, and the various influences that are held in place, or that hold in place those about this particular solar system.

      This is from a reading about the time in ancient Egypt and Nubia prior to the construction of the Cayce reading date of 10,500 BCE for the Great Pyramid. The earlier cited reading told of the use of stars and celestial alignments incorporated in its construction, while this readings speaks of the time such abilities were acquired, including the reckoning on longitude and latitude and eerily concur with such alignments for this ancient date!
