to Horus. The typical two pillars are identified
with and as Sut and Horus, in the inscription of
Shabaka from Memphis, in which it is said, " The
two pillars of the gateway of the House of Ptah
are Horus and Sut." Thus the two pillars at the
entrance are explained. The great stones built
into the masonry, and fourfold, set with a
Triangular Stone, which acted on its pivot for
providing an entrance, is symbolical of Heaven
and Earth. The four supports of Heaven, when
Heaven was represented as a Square, and this
Earth was also depicted as a Square. The Triangle
was the sacred Triangle of Sut, Horus, and Shu,
and represented the original Trinity in its earliest
form. The passing through this door was symbo-
lical of passing from Earth to Heaven (see " Signs
and Symbols of Primordial Man "). It is only
by the Ritual that you can decipher the meaning
and unlock the hidden mystery of the past, here
written in stone. If students will learn Stellar
Mythos and read the Ritual of Ancient Egypt,
they will have no doubt left as to the origin and
meaning of it all ; it is the key of the wisdom
of the old Egyptic Theopneustics, left for future
generations
to read and learn after a dark and
"
Signs and
degenerate age. I have written
Symbols of Primordial Man " for all those Brothers
who cannot obtain the Ritual, or, if obtained,
cannot read it.
