Melchizedek, Priests

The alchemical Philosophers Stone is the main subject of this book. It has many names including the Elixir of Life, occult gold, manna and dew. For thousands of years the knowledge of this marvelous Stone has been the sole province of mystical brotherhoods including Eg tian Priests and Pharaohs, Melchizedek Priests, Arabian Schools, Rabbis, Kabbalahists, Indian Yogis, Rosicrucians, Freemasons and lone Jewish alchemists. 

The Melchizedek Priests at the Temple of Jerusalem were adepts in many aspects of the chemistry of gold. It strikes me now how easily they could have made shrewbread, manna or whitebread just as I have, scooping Jordan River water from the Brazen Sea in front of the Temple, then mixing it with alkali from a bowl to create the Philosophers Stone in a golden bowl. Yes, right then and there because it doesn t take more than a few minutes. 

A most important function of the Melchizedek priests at the time of the Exodus was to set out the Bread of the Presence of God on a golden table in front of the Ark of the Covenant, also called the Ark of Alliance. Moses decreed that the Ark should contain a quantity of the Bread of Heaven or manna found by the Israelites in the wilderness so future generations would see what it was like. ... 

Chapter 11 showed that Moses then commanded Bezaleel, the Son of Light who built the Ark of the Covenant, to prepare the Bread of Life or Bread of the Presence of God. The Melchizedek Priests set this Bread on a golden table in front of the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies. Once a week they ate the Bread of the Presence of God and more was set in place. 

And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old com of the land neither had the children of Israel manna any more but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. Jesus, a Melchizedek Priest, refers to the loss of manna when he turns down the request of the masses at Capernaum ... 

The position of the letter M as an end word is also likely because tracing the inscription yields a St Andrew s cross. As we have seen, this was a very important symbol in Lord Anson s day. A St Andrew s cross is the symbol used in old initiation and sacrificial rites to represent resurrection. It is a symbol of Archangel Michael and the lineage of Melchizedek Priests. Within the Roman Catholic Church, it is the Signaculum Dei or Seal of God. 

Ancient myths also present Pan as Saturn, the one first king and universal god. Approaching the door of Saturn, the Melchizedek priests of the Knights Templar may have experimented with arcane sexual practices as part of the Assassin s practice of the Greater Mysteries. These might have been acceptable in Persia or India, but not in Europe.

It IS thus that the Word of God appeared to Melchizedek and said to him Here T have made you a Priest. Shem and you have communed in the First Sacrifice that you offered. And as you employed twelve stones to erect this altar, so, when the Time will finally come, T shall take twelve Apostles to be the solid columns of the Earth. And as you offered Bread and Wine, so shall I offer My Flesh and My Blood. And I shall make of this place a holy place, where you have offered the first sacrifice, the same where is buried the Body of your Father Adam... And I shall grant great blessings to those who shall come here... ... 

An unusual characteristic of Meissner fields is that another Meissner field, which oscillates at the same frequency, can enter that field of the first and not perturb it. Each week the High Priests of Melchizedek ventured beyond the veil in the Holy of Holies. There they partook of the Bread of the Presence of God. Then more Bread was set out for the next week before the Ark of the Covenant. 

A Melchizedek high priest who had eaten the Bread of the Presence of God for some time could theoretically approach and safely touch the Ark of the Covenant. The Priest would not perturb the Ark s Meissner field because of his resonance with it. Resonance avoids a voltage difference. 

With Indo-Hittite inspiration, the Semite-Akkadians then circled above Mesopotamia to Damascus. There a group became the well-documented tribe of Abraham. As such, Sharru-Kin foreshadows Abraham, Melchizedek the Priest King of Righteousness in Salem and the Essenes Teacher of Righteousness. We will look at these further in Chapter 5 and Chapter 11. 

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine and he was the priest of the most high God. 

Priests after the Order of Melchizedek are prominent over the millennia. One of the last Biblical references is when King David appoints Zadok as a joint high priest with the Levites. The final identification with Melchizedek occurs with Jesus. Among the many messianic aspirants of the time, Jesus was a particularly special messiah because he was a priest of Melchizedek. ... 

Using the philosophical circular-saw of Occam s Razor to limit the entities, the Moreh-zedek or the Teacher of Righteousness can be seen as a common alchemical archetype with the dew or Bread of Life. In the same way Melchizedek, the King of Righteousness, is an archetype for the priest that manufactures the sacred bread. He provides this sacred bread to Abraham in a rite of kingship. 

Dan s standard became a white and red banner with the crest of a two-headed bird bearing a serpent in its talons.This mysterious two-headed bird is often mistaken for an eagle. It is really the phoenix, which signifies the immortality of the Priests of Order of Melchizedek. This Order has as its object the permanent and hereditary duty to worship the Most High God El Elyon, Yaho or Yahweh. Many examples of early Danish and Irish jewelry show this Danite tribal symbol of an eagle bearing a serpent. 

Their Rosicrucian symbol is the phoenix of Dan, the mysterious two-headed bird now called an eagle in Freemasonry. As we have seen in this Chapter, it symbolizes the immortality of the Priests of Melchizedek. The standard of the tribe of Dan was red and white with this phoenix crest. 

The inherent flaw in the Knights Templar was the Melchizedekian heresy they harbored, which the Roman Catholic Church had been desperate to eliminate for almost a millennium. This seems to have included a rejection of Church mysteries in favor of a direct experience of the ancient mysteries. As priests of the Order of Melchizedek, they believed themselves to be immortal through rebirth.
