Chapter 11: Time 469
Baphomet has been variously identified as a “bisexual idol or talking head”.
Several derivations of the name Baphomet have been suggested. Some say it was
Arabic abu-fihamet, or “Father of Wisdom”. Some have said it is a corruption of
the word Mohammed. There are several other ideas bruited about this Baphomet
including that it was Pope Sylvester’s Armillary Sphere. Some say it is Baphe
Meteos, or the baptism of Metis. Metis was a Gnostic Goddess of Wisdom.
However, in thinking about it in terms of cabala, we come to a different idea.
Fulcanelli said it was a, “complete emblem of the secret traditions of the Order”.
He then says that this is “fire enclosed in water”. That already refers us back to
Merkaba, a “fiery stone in the sea”. Baphomet includes the syllable “pho”, which
is derived from roots that mean “breath” or breathing, and from the movement of
air, comes sound. In fact, a phoneme is a unit of distinctive sound in the
description of any given language. In the end, we have a different idea of the
“talking head” of Baphomet, and it doesn’t look like it is Pope Sylvester’s
Armillary Sphere at all.
There is also the interesting connection of blood relationship of the Maruts.
They were all of the “same parentage”, and this suggests that a certain genetic
inheritance was necessary in order to be able to produce the necessary energies for
this very important work on behalf of the tribe or civilization. But we would like
to suggest that it is not necessarily a “family line” in terms of genetics (though we
cannot exclude that), but rather that the reference points out to us that the Great
Work is work on the DNA! In this sense, the “Child of the King” was anyone who
achieved the Alchemical Transformation!
So, we have a curious series of factors to contend with that all seem to point in
the direction of DNA being far more interesting and mysterious than we might
have supposed. On the one hand we have such naturally transmitted “powers”, and
on the other hand we have folks who can engage in some activity that either
temporarily or permanently changes something in their physiology - and the
apparent result is psi phenomena and/or “supernatural abilities” that may not be
supernatural at all - they may be the accessing of hyperdimensional states of being
via some change in the neurons of the brain as a result of turning on latent genes.
After all, we note the similarity of the words “shaman” and “sarmoung” or
“sarman”, and the latter has been traditionally translated as “those whose heads
have been purified”. A much later corruption of the idea of “purification of the
head” may have come down as trephination. Once the real technology was lost,
they attempted to do it by brute force.
Back to Atlantis
According to Plato’s story, Atlantis was the center of a country of extreme
economic wealth and military power that sought to enslave all of Europe. The
Atlanteans were quite successful in defeating many European countries; however,
the great civilization of Athens repelled their attacks and eventually succeeded in
driving them back out of Europe. Unfortunately, almost all records of this great
achievement were lost due to a very powerful flood that wiped out most of Athens
and the whole continent of Atlantis in one day and one night. Let’s look at an even
more interesting item from Frank Joseph’s book: The Lost Pyramids of Rock Lake.
