Great Celestial Conjunction Crosses II

Ark of the Covenant

The Knights Templar on their crusades to Jerusalem discovered something in the Temple of Jerusalem that after their return to France made them very wealthy and powerful. The secrets they discovered remain a mystery, whether it was an artefact, knowledge or a real treasure has let to wild speculations. The Temple of Jerusalem was first built by Solomon in 957 BC. The temple replaced the Tabernacle of Moses. The Tabernacle is believed to be Moses his tent but the Hebrew word for tabernacle Mishkan actually means place of Devine dwelling and might refer to a celestial place rather than a tent that Moses used during the Exodus from Egypt.

It is assumed that the Knights Templar recovered the Ark of the Covenant that contained the Ten Commandments which Moses received from God on Mount Sinai. The Ten Commandments were stored in the Ark and were later transferred to their resting place in the Temple of Jerusalem. The Ark of the Covenant was built after Gods instructions given in the book Exodus chapter 25.

Ark of the Covenant

Exodus 25:8-9
8And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

The ark was built after the pattern of the tabernacle, the tabernacle was most likely not Moses his tent but a celestial place, the dwelling place of God.

Exodus 25:12-15
12And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
13And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.

Could the four rings stand for the four Galactic Alignments, remember the Egyptian Ankh symbol. The Ankh consists of a ring on a pole. Are the rings and pole of the Ark of the Covenant metaphors for the Sun on the Galactic Equator? The rings were put on the four corners of the Ark, the four ends of the Galactic Cross? The Sun resides on the Galactic Equator during a precession cycle on two opposite solstices (2 rings, one pole) and two opposite equinoxes (2 rings, one pole).

Exodus 25:17-20
17And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
18And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
19And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
20And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

God wants Moses to make a seat on top of the Ark of the Covenant flanked by two winged Cherubims! The two Cherubims are placed facing each other, just like the signs of Galactic Cross that equate with the Galactic Equator, Taurus and Scorpio (Eagle) face each other. The Cherubims were given the wings of the Eagle (Scorpio).

Exodus 25:22

22And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

And that’s where God will reside seated on the Ark in between the Cherubims. Did the Knights Templar somehow understand that the Ark of the Covenant may be representing the Great Celestial Conjunctions? Was this their Holy Grail?

Fore more links between the biblical story of the Exodus of Moses and the association with the Great Celestial Conjunctions, I refer to my article ‘Freemasons Revelations’. In the article I explained that Moses his meeting on Mount Sinai encodes a Galactic Alignment, Moses represents the summer solstice Sun and Mount Sinai represents the Milky Way! The association of Moses with the summer solstice Sun originates from the Scottish Rite Freemasons themselves!

Exodus 25:37

37And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.

Do the seven lamps refer to the seven stars of the Pleiades? Remember the seven lamps above the Black Madonna at Chartres Cathedral. The Ark of the Covenant was built after God’s command to represent the pattern that Moses was shown on the mount:

Exodus 25:40

40And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount. 

Was this pattern perhaps the pattern of the 8 pointed cross?

I downloaded the 400 pixel MP4 Movie, but the others might be preferred. You have to wait before anything happens when downloading.

The animation does 4 equivalent cycles before repeating. You can stop and start using the controls underneath. The zodiac doesn’t really turn but it is shown rotating to allow 360° viewing. Only the celestial plane actually rotates due to the apparent precessional cycle. As a consequence the north celestial pole (NCP) traces out the small circle, drawn on the diagram below, which takes 24,000 years.
This cycle brings the north celestial pole nearer to, or further from, the galactic plane. Or conversely, if we imagine an axis perpendicular to the galactic plane, the cycle brings the north celestial pole further out of alignment or or more closely to alignment with the galactic axis.


The ends of the cross in the small circle indicate proximity of the NCP to the galactic plane. The point labelled 0° is closest. 90°and 270° are midway and 180° is farthest away. The opposite is the case when comparing the galactic axis rather than the plane. The cycle of the animation begins at the current era (shown right). The ends of the line at the galactic-ecliptic plane intersection point to Sagittarius and Gemini. It is being crossed by the line at the celestial-ecliptic plane intersection whose ends point to Pisces and Virgo. The two lines form a Celtic cross. This is the current configuration of the galactic alignment. When the vernal point (VP) enters Aquarius the ‘New Age’ is said to begin.

The galactic/ecliptic line remains fixed in all cycles, but celestial/ecliptic line rotates due to precession. 6000 years into the future (diagram underneath) the vernal point (VP) on the celestial/ecliptic line comes around to Sagittarius, and the north celestial pole (NCP) comes closest to the galactic plane. By the end of the Sagittarian era the galactic, celestial and ecliptic planes all come into alignment (considered by some to be a Zero Point).
This also happened at the start of the previous Age of Taurus (ie., the 3 axis lined up) but the vernal point was 180° back, in Gemini, the time when the north celestial pole is furtherest from the galactic plane, or conversely the north celestial pole is more closely to aligned to the galactic axis.

I’m not concerned with the occult/astrological explanation accompanying the animation save for one aspect.

Galactic Portals, Doorways or Gates to Other Dimensions
We hear of galactic portals opening doorways or gates to other dimensions. I haven’t found any ideal more profound than the neo-Pythagorean philosopher’s doctrine of two doorways in the cosmic cave through which the soul ascends and descends. Later this develops in Mithraism and its teaching that involves the ascent and descent of souls through celestial gateways.
The ideology of Plato and Mithraism was developed by gods. Today we fall short of their knowledge.
In the animation, 5° sidereal Sagittarius is named the "Gate of God." The opposite node, at 5° sidereal Gemini, is named the "Gate of Man."

Oahspe doesn’t speak of portals or celestial gateways as a mystical construct. Mans spiritual progress is symbolised by:

118. D’hi, signifying ascent.
119. D’gani, signifying man ascending; progress.
120. S’pe’su, signifying angels descending.

Plate 62 Se’moin, Book Of Saphah

After the world’s creation, gods steer our course to physical and spiritual perfection through a drama of life that facilitates the encounter between the ascent of man and descent of angels.

1. Nearer came the visiting stars, the etherean ships from thousands of worlds. And when they reached the boundaries of the earth’s vortex they halted a while; and whilst they stood thus in the great vault of heaven, there opened on one side a gateway amidst the stars;
7. And now another gateway opened amidst the stars; and a cluster star was seen approaching from the southeast. It was as a star surrounded by stars, and brighter than all the others. This was the ship-star of Aph, the Orian Chief.

Book Of Aph Ch XVI

Osire, through his mathematicians, now furnished the Lords with maps of corporeal stars, and moon, and sun, and the position of the earth, with the sun-belt, and bestowed the names of animals upon them. Showed where the region of Cows was; the place of Bulls; the place of Bears; the place of Horses; the place of Fishes; the place of Scorpions; the place of Sheep; the place of Lions; the place of Crabs; the place of Death (sagittarius); the place of Life (Gemini); the place of Capricornus; and marked the seasons, and made twelve sections (months) to the year, which was the width of the sun-belt.
