GRAND LODGE OF ATH KA PTAH

TEMPLE-ATHANOR

The Great Sphinx, Soul of Kemit, Guardian of the fates of Egypt,
At the end of this cycle, at the dawn of the third millennium, has spoken once more:
According to the Oracle of the Sphinx of Guizeh,
In 2012 , Ra-Si-Nou, the Rebels of Seth, the slaves of false theology,
will destroy what remains of Pharaonic Egypt.
They will desecrate Temples, mutilate the statues of Neters.
Nothing will remain of Ath-Ka-Ptah the Second-Heart-of-God...
The day when the cup of bitterness overflows in the Sky,
PTAH will ask KHNUM and Hapi to cleanse Egypt...
The Rebels will become the artisans of their own plight and their end!

The First Heart-of-God Aha-Men-Ptah (Atlantis) was destroyed by the Great Flood...
Ath-Ka-Ptah, the Second-Heart will lose his soul through the fanaticism of mankind.
Ancient Egypt may survive in the West...

Pêr-Ahâ DJOSER NETJERYKHET asked IMHOTEP
To build the new Temple of PTAH in the West.
This new Temple will be a Citadel where divine Alchemy is cultivated,
A true "Power Station" of energy where the Forces of the Universe will converge forever;
It will be the meeting place of Heaven and Earth to enable Man to transcend himself
And contact the Divine Fragment buried within himself.

Our-Herp-Hemou, the Master of Works of Memphis
Gave to An-Nu PTAHMOSE SEKHET ASHEP-F the Plan of this New Temple
Which will be the Book of THOTH,
The Divine Architect, Neter of Measurement and Harmony.

THE NEW TEMPLE OF PTAH
"TA-PTAH-SOKAR-OUSIR"

The future Temple consists of two enclosures:
-The earthly enclosure
-The sacred enclosure
The earthly enclosure is a closed rectangle of outward-sloping walls bordering a park
The sacred enclosure is a closed circle with the same walls sloping inward.

THE SQUARE
This is the outer circle of the first enclosure.
It is bordered by granite monoliths, rough in parts, in others hewn
Into the Twelve Constellations of the zodiac and the sacred Planets.
Two obelisks, in the form of pylons as in the Temple of Egypt,
Open the access to the first enclosure.

THE COURTYARD
This is the big square courtyard. A place of meeting and reception.
It is surrounded by a Cloister giving onto the work buildings,
House of Life, Lodges, Healing Temple, library etc.... It is a human hive.

THE HYPOSTYLE ROOM
A triangular room, filled with columns giving the density of the Matter to cross
To reach the Rooms of the Lock Chamber.
It is the first passage.

THE LOCK CHAMBER
This is a succession of three spaces formed by three hypercubes.
Hypercubes are solids of cube projection into an abstract 4-dimensional space.
The axis of progression follows their diagonal in a succession of spaces
Which open and close; as in breathing.
At each junction, side chapels in a semicircle are stopping places
For meditation and purification.
From below, the roof of great ribbed slabs following the lines of stress of effort,
will resemble the engraved stones of the Temples of Atlantis.
It is lit through the upper part alone, where the walls meet the roof,
As a slender blade of light.
The SAHU corresponds to the openings in the ceiling to let the light penetrate.
The SAHU corresponds to the ability of man to transform himself into sunbeam,
that is into a Neter dressed in white...
The Lock Chamber will not be made of stone.
Very thick glass will be used.
Glass is fragile when it is thin,
But is resistant and practically indestructible when it is heavy.
The thickness and substance of glass can be used to lend a different colour
and intensity to every element of the Lock Chamber and to each Chapel,
as a luminous vibration within the walls themselves
rather than the isolated stained glass in ancient temples.

THE DOOR
The Lock Chamber opens onto a large triangular,
Symmetrical room in the hypostyle Room.
Here is the Door before the sacred Enclosure.
The man who crosses the Lock Chamber alone there finds the mystagogue Priests
coming to welcome him before the last step.
A main staircase, surrounded by Columns, leads down to a solid Door.
It is made from cast bronze and engraved with the Arcanas of THOTH.
Only Priests and the Temple know its opening.
The Door opens onto a tunnel which leads to the Naos,
the place of meeting with An-Nu.
The follower who takes it advances alone, in an ultimate crossing before the inner light.

THE SACRED ENCLOSURE
This is a vast circle like a crater born of a meteorite or a seal imprinted in matter.
The sloping wall of the enclosure and the floor are covered
With granite paving stones and engraved glass,
As if a fire had imprinted and melted the material.
It is reached only by the Room of the Door
And only those who escort the progress of the follower
Towards the Temple may penetrate there.

THE NAOS
In the centre of the sacred enclosure is an isolated hypercube.
It is separated from the enclosure by a pool of water like a moat.
In this pool are four springs at the points of the compass.
It is a solid glass building like an indestructible crystal.
It can only be accessed by the tunnel of the Room of the Door.
Inside is a large empty space with a golden light flowing from within the walls themselves.
One may only penetrate here alone.
It is the Place of the meeting with the Master PTAHMOSE SEKHET ASHEP-F,
an Hypercube that looks out on the Fourth Dimension.

THE CRYPT
In the middle of the tunnel, a secret passage leads down to a Crypt, set below the Naos.
This passage will be known only to the initiated and the priests.
A secret place where some will envisage tombs, others plain cenotaphs.
For those who really know, it will be of no importance...

THE LEGEND OF THE TEMPLE
The legend will be based on the recollection of the group of people who built this place,
Who came from anywhere, driven by an irresistible call and whom nothing could stop.
They used means that nobody knew, and which have since been forgotten.
It may be said they used sand, rocks and light to melt and build the walls.
When the Temple of PTAH is complete, people will speak of a Fire,
A Cloud which came and enfolded the Temple which no-one could then approach.
And this Fire completed the work of men by engraving the mark of the Eternal in the walls.
Since then, only the chosen may enter the Naos.
Others may not cross the Lock Chamber, although there is no door.
As if a little of the Cloud remained, infused into the enclosure,
forbidding access to those who are not ready.
The legend will say that when a man hears the Call,
then only he may advance and cross through the Door.
Then, centuries after those who first crossed this border,
The Temple reawakens and Fire runs through the walls,
like flashes of lighting to greet the internal awakening of a new human being.
