THE QUEST FOR THE HOLY GRAIL:
CLOSING THE CIRCLE OF SPIRITUALITY
William John Meegan
ABSTRACT
This paper is not about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table; albeit, indirectly it is in order to
put a nomenclature to the hero’s quest that is replete throughout the many source materials in the
sacred scriptures and in the world at large, which explains tersely and succinctly, for the Western
Culture, its allegorical pattern. The Arthurian legends of the Holy Grail had to have their origins from
some initial source material but what that was could not actually be fathomed, at least by me, outside of
the Christian traditions; though, it did become quickly obvious, in my analysis of the material at hand,
that the Arthurian legends existed in all times and climes under numerous and disparate mythological
disguises throughout the world. When I originally started this article I did not have the Holy Grail in
mind. I was trying to explain three different scriptural sources plus one ancient American Indian
religious site that explains allegorically and symbolically closing the Circle of Spirituality. As I entered
into the depths of my researches I realized that I could confidently discuss, somewhat, the psyche as
taught by Carl G. Jung relating to the several scriptural descriptions of closing the Circle of Spirituality.
Apparently, the ancient scribes understood the psyche’s construct similar if not with a greater
understanding than how the Jungian community understands it. This of course is a stunning revelation
to say the least about it; though, I had known for some years that the bible was a study of the psyche I
had no idea of the comparative studies that could be undergone in relationship to the bible and Jungian
Analytical Psychology. This suggestion should include all the world’s religions and mythologies. If that
idea could take hold in the academic and psychological communities around the world, the world will
realize it has an oceanic reservoir in which to plumb the depths of the psyche on a totally scientific level:
mathematically, symbolically, mythologically, grammatically and psychologically with a host of other
disciplines to augment the process. Indeed the world would rediscover Antiquity’s Hall of Records.
The advantages of having so many biblical source materials scripturally outlining the same spiritual topic
and several outside sources with the same genre of thought in mind allows for a simultaneous
comparative analysis between them all: all of them using different symbols and allegorical disguises to
discuss the same psychic and spiritual processes. When I began to go deeply into the analysis of all the
source materials in the sacred scriptures that were available for my immediate considerations my mind
span what I knew of modernity present understanding of these scriptural materials I was dealing with. I
was psychologically taken aback by what they didn’t know nor could they possibly comprehend with
their present state of awareness.
What I had discovered was beyond cavil. I had found, embedded esoterically and symbolically in the
Judeao Christian scriptures, the original Mystery School text books, hidden in plain sight, scribed by the
ancient Egyptian and Greek sages. What better way for antiquity to send it’s most precious and sacred
teachings into the future then to place them amongst the profane to cherish as their sacred literature.
The profane would of course read and study these works from a purely fundamental perspective;
however, whether self-initiated or instructed the initiate would see these texts from a whole new
psychological perspective. That is the raison d’être of the sacred literature, artworks and monuments
around the world. The sacred literature, artworks and monuments around the world are not presented
in this manner because some sages determined this mode of presenting the Word of God; rather, the

sacred literature, artworks and monuments around the world are presented in this manner because it
was ordained by God.
INTRODUCTION
Below I have inserted an explanation of the Genesis Formula, which I discovered out of the first word of
Genesis: BERESHITH. This is derived from the 10 x 10 matrix: UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICAL MATRIX:
Prima Materia (Perennial Matrix): however, there is a lot more to be analyzed here.

3. 3
First of all BERESHITH is not the first word of Genesis though that is what is seen with the physical eyes.
BERESHITH symbolizes spiritual perfection: essentially it represents a direct vision from God, which is
basically a new raison d’être given to the soul/psyche. This is what actually takes place when the Circle
of Spirituality is closed as in a protective mystical circle and I will explain how that happens as I continue.
BERESHITH is the WORD that Saint John is talking about in the prologue of his gospel1
.
With the physical eyes the alphanumeric structure of the Genesis Formula is seen to have ten
numbers/letters (one letter/number is used twice): there are actually thirteen letters/numbers in the
overall construct of this Genesis Formula. The other three will be discussed below.
BETH is the first alphanumeric letter/number/word in the written Torah. It represents the number two
(2) and is symbolically designated as a house (container), which displaces the realm of God: the
empyrean (number one: MONAD). When studying the word BETH through Gematria it is shown to have
three letters: Beth-Yud-Tav, which totals to 412, a transposition of these numbers 1, 2 and 4, denotes it
as representing the birth of consciousness. Yud is positioned in the center of its own Dyson Sphere;
because, Yud symbolically represents the sun (ego), which resides in the center of the psyche (solar
system). The ego is the LIGHT and the god of the material world. If it was up to BETH the TORAH would
end at the first letter/word: because it is masculine and it has nothing to do with the feminine (moon =
unconscious). As far as the patriarchal society is concern any change from this is heresy.
The word BERESHITH, which is a hybrid of two letters/numbers/words: BETH and RESH. When studying
the letters/numbers in the word RESH (Resh-Aleph-Shin) it is seen that ALEPH (moon) is in the center
pointing to a Lunar Centric Solar System within its own Dyson Sphere. “That is ridiculous”, says the
academic (ego = sun) in all of us, “there can’t be a lunar centric solar system”2
; however, all mythology

John 1:1-4

The sun = ego says this because it is the only light in the world and it doesn’t have to pay attention to that
beamless orb (moon). If you think about it you will realize that the sun does not even see the moon. How;
therefore, can the ego see beyond itself? The moon only radiates back the sun’s own light. She (moon) is not
there as far as the sun is concerned. From the ego’s perspective it is impossible for anybody else to have an

is written to be ridiculous seeing it has a higher spiritual import. The amalgamation of the two
letters/words BETH and RESH into one word: BERESHITH is the spiritual formation of the Vesica Piscis
through the extrapolation of the Genesis Formula: two interlocking circles: behold the Garden of Eden.
This is analogous to the cooperation of ego-consciousness (sun = light) with the unconscious mind
(moon = darkness)3
. This would all be in reverse if the READER was a woman (in her world the Sun is
feminine and the Moon is masculine); nonetheless, in real time the masculine forces his viewpoints
upon the woman because she lives in the masculine world. This is why the material man will never get
to know what woman is about.
Look at the letter BETH, with or without it being spelt out: this is the human race’s entire mental state of
existence (consciousness): heliocentric (egocentric): ‘There shall be no other gods before me”. That is
all well and good until the ego beat itself into a neurotic or a psychotic mess. It cannot be said that the
world beats the ego into submission seeing that the world is the ego. Each human being approaches the
world with every thought, word and deed via the harsh dictates of its taskmaster4
: the ego5
.
opinion. The female as far as the ego is concerned is a nonperson; whereas, from the woman’s perspective she is
the sun and the moon (masculine) is her whole world. This is why the matriarchal society gives equality to the
masculine. Now, it can be envisage why the world is set up in the manner in which it is. Humans imitate the
symbolism of the solar system and are totally unaware of this phenomenology. This is why the masculine (ego)
dictates to the bible; rather, than reading it and trying to understand what it is saying. If each letter of the bible
was seen as a ray of the sun then each letter must be studied to understand what it means in relationship to the
surrounding texts.
3
This is ‘somewhat’ analogous to a man and a woman instantaneously falling in love through physical attraction.
The two amalgamate into one and find themselves equal to each other; however, this state of bliss cannot be
maintained because the two have not worked out a viable philosophy on life to live by. They barely know each
other’s idiosyncrasies. When they do they don’t like each other and are forced by circumstances to tolerate each
other until they do work out a viable agreement between themselves or they get a divorce.

Yes, the Taskmasters that the Egyptian government allegedly set upon the Israelites after the death of Joseph and
before their exodus from the land of Egypt are inferred here. The Israelites egos got the better of them thinking
they had become more powerful than all of the armies of Egypt so they decided to separate themselves from their
union with Egypt. The death of Joseph (symbolically going from being a spiritual Egyptian back to his family’s
clannish egocentric mentality) was analogous to breaking the magic circle, which allowed them to flee Egypt.
Goshen is symbolic to the red disc (see image of Cygnus X1 below) and Egypt is symbolic in the story to the
spiritual superstar. The ego became a harsh taskmaster because the Israelites no longer took pleasure in their
responsibilities towards themselves. What was the Garden of Eden became Hell once that magic protective circle

5. 5
Eventually ego-consciousness has to recognize the unconscious in some way, shape or form. The ego is
incapable of living and maintaining life in the material world without that interplay with the unconscious
mind. Most people will not consciously recognize it but will inadvertently work with the unconscious
mind using other methods such as writing and/or studying the philosophers or religion. There are a host
of methods including the arts and vocations that enable the individual to relate to his or her
unconscious: thus the word BERESHITH (amalgamation of BETH and RESH) has its place in the Torah
without being a direct spiritual influence. In fact the Genesis Formula, which is merely an extrapolation
of four additional letters/numbers from what is known (Bereshith’s six letters/numbers) to what is
possible (Genesis Formula = ten letters/numbers).
However, knowing the Genesis Formula is there is one thing connecting it to the matrix is another. For
example: knowing there is a God is not necessarily having a direct communion with God. Also the
letter/number BETH is surrounded and inundated by the 17th
letter of the Hebrew alphabet: PEI, which
is not commonly known: it fact it is a rarely known nuance to exist in the text.
“Around the big Beth of [BERESHITH] (the first word in the account of Creation,
the beginning of Torah) is hidden, in the white of the parchment, an even bigger PEI,
“mouth,” whose thirty-two teeth are the thirty-two Names of Elohym6
of Creation7
.”
That absence of knowing that fact, alone, prevents most people from understanding spirituality in the
Torah. For symbolically it means that the unconscious mind is not known to exist. Yes, we may
individually work with the unconscious mind from numerous venues but this does not mean that the
unconscious mind is actually known to exist: hence the Hebrew letter PEI is hidden esoterically.
was broken. Look at the great difficulty that Moses had with the Israelites not wanting to see God themselves.
The Israelites sent Moses to deal with their spiritual responsibilities.

If the ego tells the psyche it is an alcoholic then the world of alcohol is that person’s Garden of Eden and Yahweh
(ego) will be an unforgiving god if the alcoholic dared not drink to inebriation each day. For in the day that the
alcoholic stops drinking alcohol (the holy beverage) he will sober up and be expelled from the Garden of Eden and
he will become an asset to the community: an anathema in the eyes of Yahweh (ego); however, Yahweh will again
get his claws into the psyche once again through another vice if he or she has not taken up the spiritual quest.
6
I have shown in other articles and writings that these 32-Elohyms are spread out through the first chapter of
Genesis transforming into the graphic images of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and/or the Star of David.

PEI has the numerical value of eighty (80); however, its Gematria value is eighty-one (81) because PEI is
spelt Pei-Aleph (80 + 1). This is apropos because the creation of the Kamea of the Moon is PEI (80) plus
spirituality (1). Pei represents the unconscious mind (moon): the opposite of the ego (sun). The KAMEA
OF THE MOON is the union of the spiritual with the unconscious mind, which creates what is called the
Collective Unconscious8
: the ‘ground of being’9
that creates the objective universe that humanity
collectively lives upon. The ego is what creates the subjective reality: these two (ego and unconscious)
opposing each other is what causes all conflicts in the world. This is why the ancient scribes gave PEI the
Gematria value of eighty-one; because, it represents the objective Prima Materia (Perennial Matrix).
The reason I color coded the first number one blue was to point to it as being symbolic of the MONAD
that exuded the matrix. The matrix is a phantasm because it doesn’t exist. It is there for human
consideration; however, in and of itself it is nonexistent. Yes, you can declare, “It exists, I can
empirically work with it”; whereas, I say, “It is in your mind and intrinsically it doesn’t really exist
outside of your psyche”. Even in the psyche, if you reach that depth of understanding, the matrix is
merely a conceptual idea to aid the soul in working out its psychological problems and to live and enjoy
live in the Garden of Eden.
The moment that it is realized that PEI has the numerical value of eighty one (81) it immediate infers the
magic square called the Kamea of the Moon (9 x 9 square)10
: that is a given. Note how the odd number
(masculine) magic squares are easy to decipher in the very same manner ad infinitum; whereas, the
even number (feminine) magic squares are far more difficult to decipher because there are several or
more ways each of them can be formatted magically to obtain the same numerical total in all directions:
horizontally, vertically and diagonally. This is the same way the male find himself dealing with the
female in the material world: she like the unconscious is unfathomable; whereas, the male is predictable
in his reasoning linearly. This is the reason why odd number magic squares are easier to decipher.
From the Multiplication Tables up to nine it can be envisaged that anything beyond nine is redundancy;
however, a study of the nine Multiplication Tables: Casting-out Nines will shows that an extra column
and row of nines would create a perfect 10 x 10 matrix viewing it from all four sides. This can further be
envisaged if the redundancy of numbers was allowed beyond the number nine ad infinitum. The 10 x 10
matrix would be whole beyond the first; hence, the creation of the UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICAL
MATRIX: Prima Materia (Perennial Matrix).

I do not entirely agree with CG Jung interpretation of the Collective Unconscious. I see the Collective
Unconscious as a generic ground of being for all human instincts to be culled out and generated into the
manifested creation of the world through the psyche of the individual; whereas, CG Jung see it as a reservoir of the
complete historical record of humanity. The psyche is in a static state: a limbo so-to-speak: Prima Materia ready to
be accessed. Yes, the psyche is a continuous never-ending vortex; however, it cannot be that way unless the ego
fuels it with its activity. It is the amalgamation of several or more parts of this infinite Prima Materia (Perennial
Matrix), which conjures up the infinite archetypal images in the psyche of the individual.
9
This is why in every Masonic Temple there is a checkerboard pattern on the floor because it is denoting the
ground of being. This is not just symbolic in the psyche. The whole universe is patterned after this matrix. City
residential streets are automatically (psychically) patterned after this matrix without the city architects knowing it:
this psychic matrix is the New Jerusalem that Saint John speaks of in his Revelations. Walk out your door and
behold the fact that you are living in the Garden of Eden and you have no idea that you are doing it.
10
Even Dante Alighieri in his La Divina Commedia used the Kamea of the Moon as illustrated in the accompanied
image, in formatting the mathematics esoterically into the compositional structure of the poem’s trilogy. See my
work: THE SECRETS & THE MYSTERIES OF GENESIS: Antiquity’s Hall of Records.

7. 7
Finally, what is most important to grasp on this point concerning PEI is that all of it is prior to the writing
of the first written letter of the Torah: BETH. PEI is not known to exist yet because it is esoteric: hidden
from the ego; thus, the student of the Bible that comes across this knowledge has entered into an
infinite realm of being having initially no idea of its existence. It is as if, for all intent and purpose, the
individual that makes this kind of discovery has entered into another world that has nothing to do with
the mundane world of commerce and materialism he or she has been living in since birth.
PEI is the eleventh letter in the Genesis Formula as Joseph was the eleventh son of Jacob. PEI is the 17th
letter of the Hebrew Alphabet as Joseph was seventeen (17) years of age when he was sold to Egypt11
.
Just as Joseph couldn’t do anything with his brothers without the full complement of twelve neither can
the initiate do anything with the first word of Genesis unless he or she knows how to proceed. So
Joseph sends his other ten brothers (Genesis Formula) back to get Benjamin, which was the twelfth son
of Jacob. As soon as Joseph embraced Benjamin the twelfth letter QOPH in the Genesis Formula was
formed closing and locking the magic circle of twelve in place. The whole of Egypt rejoice is seeing that
Joseph was reunited with his family and this is before Jacob came into Egypt.
The letter PEI and BETH symbolizes Joseph and his brother Simeon (the second son) respectively. Note
how Joseph bounds Simeon to a prison12
in order to coerce his other nine brothers to bring the younger
brother Benjamin to Egypt. It would seem that if the seventeenth letter PEI merges with the second
letter BETH they would symbolically form the nineteenth letter QOPH (symbolizing Benjamin the twelfth
son of Jacob): however, such an assumption would be false. The solution to this problem is the key to
understanding the mystical manner in which the sacred scriptures must be read.
In the Zohar’s (mystical interpretation of the Torah) Prologue there is a tale narrating how all the
Hebrew letters from the last (Tav) to the first (Aleph) are going into and out of creation for the sole
11
Genesis chapter 37, 39-50 tells the story of Joseph’s relationship with his brothers.
12
Genesis 42:24; however, this imprisoning Simeon (Ego) into prison to coerce Benjamin (spirituality) into Joseph’s
(unconscious mind) court in Egypt is prophetic of how the Israelites will view their stay in Goshen after Joseph’s
demise.

8. 8
purpose of choosing one of them to be the conduit of the material creation. Finally, BETH is chosen for
this privilege; thus, it can be envisaged how nothing gets into the material world without going through
the ego (Yahweh); whereas, on the other hand, how does one get out of creation when first having been
molded into the image and likeness of BETH? Christ answers that question in the New Testament:
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter
into the kingdom of God13
”.
If the reader will look again at the above chart of the Genesis Formula separating BERESHITH from the
EMPYREAN he or she will see that QOPH is called the NEEDLE and GHIMMEL (third Hebrew letter) is
called the CAMEL; thus, it can be envisaged through just the word BERESHITH and by extrapolation
through the GENESIS FORMULA that the twenty-two (22) letters of the Hebrew alphabet come into
creation from the last to the first and go out of creation from the last to the first. This is why BETH is
written in a LARGE format indicating that BETH the egotistic man is too much of a big shot (rich man) to
stoop14
down and go through the eye of the Needle (Qoph). Qoph does look like a needle with an eye in
it. And the Hebrew letter that went through the needle (Qoph) before it was BETH’S turn was GHIMMEL
THE CAMEL; therefore, the Genesis Formula is literally demonstrating two parallel universes: one
material and one spiritual and between them is the unconscious mind: i.e. Hell (ego), Purgatory
(unconscious mind) and Paradise (empyrean). The above has demonstrated that the union of PEI and
BETH would not get BETH through the eye of the needle. Going through the eye of the needle infers a
mystical function is at work and it is only in this manner that the third option: Transcendent Function
(Eucharist) is possible. The third option is spirituality (Qoph). The first is the Ego (materialism) and the
second is the unconscious mind (intellectualism) and neither one of these last two can bring the soul to
a mystical state of being where it could lives in the Garden of Eden. The union of Pei and Beth forming a
second Qoph is the desired goal.
When ego-consciousness (Simeon) willingly interplays with the unconscious mind (Joseph) the Jungian
Transcendent Function15
comes into play (Catholics call this receiving the Holy Eucharist). The idea here
is that neither the concepts of the unconscious mind nor those of the ego are acceptable; however,
through a mystical dialogue a third option if offered up by the Transcendent Function: i.e. Christ
(Eucharist) satisfying both the ego and the unconscious mind: both are ecstatically pleased. In the case
of Joseph bringing his brothers together Benjamin symbolized the culmination of the Catholic Mass
when the wafer host is sanctified and is transubstantiated into the body and blood of Christ. This is why
Joseph hid a ‘cup’ in Benjamin bag16
; because, Benjamin symbolically represents the Eucharistic Chalice,
which holds the body and blood of Christ. This is the only manner in which the Holy Grail can be found
and possessed by the soul: this psychological drama between the material, psychic and spiritual
realms is the source material of all Arthurian legends relating to the Holy Grail. This is symbolically
why Christ came into the world allegorically in the age of Piscis because the twelfth house of Astrology
symbolizes the Waters of Life and the Cup17
as in the Tarot Card’s suit.
13
Matthew 19:24; and Luke 18:25;
14
In ancient times Mosque windows were called needles. Some say the gate of the city was called a Needle;
however, apparently this reference cannot be historically confirmed. Christ apparently was talking about a
passageway between two points. I suggest that this is what the Genesis Formula is inferring.

Matthew 26:26-29; when Christ is speaking about the blood of the New Testament he is speaking of the esoteric
interpretation (blood) of the Old Testament, which becomes the New Testament.

9. 9
When the twelfth son appeared instantaneously the zodiacal (magic) protective circle closes creating
the thirteenth letter: a large ALEPH, which exudes the Eucharist. It is as if it opened up a portal to a
parallel universe; albeit, a spiritual universe. A large ALEPH has the numerical value of one thousand
(1000). This is very much like the Star of David appearing in the center of the Zodiac/Calendar year. This
can only be achieved when the unconscious realm and the realm of the ego are in accord with each
other. The modern day Zodiac/Calendar year still holds this Star of David18
in its midst and both the
Zodiac and Calendar have to be working in synch to envisage it. The four months with 30-days
(calendar) are sequenced in the numerical signs of the Zodiac; thus, the symbiosis between the two
systems can be envisioned here. This is the Merkaba of Creation: tetrahedral forces in the universe
gyrating creation into existence. This is all played out mathematically in the book of Genesis. Most of all
this should be seen as being played out in the psyche projected out into the objective universe so that
the individual can study it and learn how the psyche works in relationship to the spiritual forces in
creation.
PEI is also known as the Oral Torah, which is revealed by the mouth; whereas, AYIN the sixteenth letter
of the Hebrew alphabet is known as the Written Torah seen by the eye. Combining these two letters:
PEI and AYIN (16 + 17 = 33) is behind the tradition of the final SEFIRAH19
: DAAT adding to the 32-paths of
the Kabbalistic Tree of Life fully outlined in the first chapter of Genesis or the exoteric and esoteric being
combined forming the Vesica Piscis: Garden of Eden. This is why the Torah was known as heaven;
because, symbolically the number thirty-three (33) is the beginning of the thawing of the frozen
religious dogma (32° and below): 32° Fahrenheit represents freezing and above that begins the thawing
process. I fully understand the Fahrenheit system is modern; however, nothing comes into the world
unless it is ordained by God. Consider also consider that the 33° Mason is the higher a member can
achieve; however, I see that more as a political position than anything else. The reason why I say this is
because once the thawing process begins there is no longer a reason to belong to the Masonic Order.
To understand the formation of the large ALEPH all the letters of the word BERESHTH have to be
understood. The last four letters of the Hebrew alphabet spell out the word CHRIST in Greek using
Hebrew Letters: TAV (400)-SHIN (300)-RESH (200)-QOPH (100) = Krst. In looking at the Genesis Formula
it can be seen that only the letters TAV-SHIN-RESH are present in the word BERESHITH. The letter YUD

I used this particular image of the Star of David within the Zodiac/Calendar year because I envisaged it out of
Dante Alighieri’s La Divina Commedia mathematical system.
19
This is in reference to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life

10. 10
symbolically represents Yahweh and the letter ALEPH symbolically represents Elohym20
. The only letter
remaining is BETH, which is basically antichrist: the ego. When the ego consciously understands that it is
knowingly working with the unconscious mind then the twelfth letter of the Genesis Formula: QOPH is
formatted simultaneously closing the magic protective circle spelling out the word CHRIST and bringing
down to earth the unity of the Trinity as seen in the empyrean side of the Genesis Formula: “As above
so below”. The empyrean side of the Genesis Formula doesn’t exist other than to infer the existence of
God: Trinity.
THE STORY OF JOSEPH AND HIS BROTHERS
Below there is going to be a detail analysis of the Joseph, Jacob’s eleventh son, story which spans about
a third of the book of Genesis. Though every detail of Joseph’s story is not in chronological order all the
facts that are needed to understand it are available throughout the story. I am not here giving a Mea
Culpa because this is a very mystical story full of esoteric knowledge. At all times in the sacred scripture
the reader has to be watchful for the sleight of hand. For example in telling one part of the story a clue
can be drop and/or inserted where its importance is not immediately noted or understood until
envisaged in another chapter. Unless the connections of these pieces of data are made these pieces of
literary evidence21
will be overlooked and thus a full understanding of the story is not possible.
The story of Joseph ends in the breaking up of the protective magic circle. This takes place when Joseph
dies. In sacred scriptures death symbolizes change not necessarily physical annihilation. And it can be
envisaged why Joseph changed. This means that Joseph is no longer part of the circle and thus the circle
is broken leaving BETH: ego to itself. The Israelites were looking towards Joseph for protection;
whereas, they were receiving their protection from Egypt (symbolically the superstar see image below).
Joseph was overlord of all Egypt and he had placed himself amongst his brothers’ circle. Previously,
Joseph lived in Egypt with his wife and children before the famine came about and now he has become
one of the Israelite boys so-to-speak, “can anything good come out of Nazareth?” How can anyone you
know so well lord it over you? Is this not what was said of Jesus? Familiarity breeds contempt. Ask any
married couple. Such a person with authority will lose his panache because of the familiarity amongst
one’s peers. Joseph was overlord to all of Egypt and when he connected to his family they treated him
not as an overlord but as one of the brothers causing the Israelites to believe that they were sustained
by their own efforts rather than being part of the greater empire of Egypt. In addition the Israelites
brought their God (Yahweh = Sun = Ego) to Egypt and they were shepherds not farmers like the whole of
Egypt. Symbolically, the shepherds are astrologers: tending to the animals in the sky (Zodiac).
Remember that all of Egypt had willingly sold their cattle for corn during the famine. Apparently,
Astrology wasn’t working for Egyptians; whereas, the Israelite were nomadic people that roamed the
deserts of Arabia. The Israelites were soothsayers. This doesn’t mean that the Egyptians did not
understand Astrology. They certainly did; however, their understanding of Astrology was symbolic and
the Egyptians were not into prognosticating the future. These are the basic differences between the
Egyptian and Israelite mentalities. This becomes obvious when reviewing the entire story of Joseph.
20
These nuances concerning the letters Yud and Aleph representing Yahweh and Elohym respectively can be found
in the Zohar.
21
The ancients were I believe commissioned by God via the interpretation of the MONAD to make available the
Word of God but it was not to be spoon to the masses. All the details that are necessary for someone to cull out
the truth were made available. It was then up to those that wanted to know the truth about their souls to ferret
out the truth.

11. 11
WHAT IS ASTROLOGY? Astrology is comparable to an institutional educational
system like the Catholic Church or any religious institution or secret society on
the face of the Earth. Yes, the Egyptian knew Astrology and even practiced it;
however, Joseph weaned the Egyptians off Astrology this is why the Egyptian
farmers sold their animals (Zodiac figures). Notice how Joseph taxes the
Egyptian people for their money, their cattle and their land. It all becomes the
property of the pharaoh very similar to how the first Christian communities had
their members put all their belongings into the community treasury. None of this
taxation was imposed upon the Israelites. Eventually all the Egyptian farmers
had to give up 20° of their income yearly and retained 80°. Symbolically, 20° is
reduced to BETH the ego and the 80° represents PEI symbolically the empyrean:
Garden of Eden.
Buddhism gives a very telling tale based upon this above spiritual principle. The
neophyte monk in Buddhism is introduced to the Little Ferry Boat, which is
symbolically Buddhism. For years the monk
does his chores, prays his prays and seeks
most of all to get to yonder shore the land of
NIVANA. After many years the monk reaches
yonder shores and goes off leaving the Little
Ferry Boat behind. The new neophyte ask his
master, “why does he leave the Little Ferry Boat
behind” and his master replies “because it is no
longer needed for he has all he needs to stay in
the state of NIVANA”
Here is a Masonic Apron22
that depicts the
completed Solomon’s Temple in the round.
What is most significant in this picture is that
the tools of the mason are discarded on the floor for they are no longer needed
for the Temple is Complete. Note the Holy of Holies in the center of the temple:
that is the desired goal: the Garden of Eden, the land of Nirvana, Shangri La,
etc., etc.
Dante Alighieri in his La Divina Commedia demonstrates this spiritual principle
when he and Virgil go through the Wall of Flames (Faith) in the twenty-seventh
chapter of La Purgatorio to get to the Garden of Eden. From that moment
forward Virgil doesn’t say another word in Dante epic poem for Virgil symbolically
represents human reasoning.
All of the examples I have given used Astrology in their systems of thought
leading to the desired goal. As you can see in the Masonic Apron even the
checkerboard floor is no longer needed because a new platform was built to
replace it. That checkerboard pattern is symbolic of the UNIVERSAL
MATHEMATICAL MATRIX: Prima Materia (Perennial Matrix) for it is only a
commentary on the MONAD, which is the Holy of Holies. All of these examples

are hard nuts to crack; yet, within the center of those nuts is the kernel
symbolically representing the Holy of Holies.
In the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoed, by Michelangelo, is a depiction of the
Zodiac/Calendar year, which literally exudes the Star of David, which is not
envisaged by the general public that knows nothing of symbolism. The operative
phrase here is the Star of David, which infers the Christ or Star of Bethlehem or
Star of the Magi. If the symbolism of the Catholic Church is studied properly then
even the teachings of the Church can be discarded because the ultimate
achievement had been acquired directly from God; however, this does not give
license to the initiate to quit his study in the search of knowledge of God. Like
the Egyptian farmers that gave up everything for their pharaoh they still had to till
the land to remain in their spiritual state of being.
Consider Joseph’s mentality. Joseph’s entire life is that of a young man dreaming of lording it over those
around him: his whole life is a variation on the theme of being a BUTLER (Shadow23
).
1. The first time this archetypal motif Butler (Shadow) is allegorically connected to Joseph is when his
father sends him out to report on his brothers. Basically, Joseph is a gofer traveling all over his
father domain reviewing it all and reporting back to Jacob (ego). As if Joseph was Jacob’s
conscience. In a sense that is exactly what the unconscious (Shadow = the Butler is to be seen and
not heard) is.
It should be made very clear that there are numerous skits in the telling of Joseph story; however, each
skit is written as if the role players are taking on the psychological attributes of the previous skit. For
example Jacob represented the ego in one part of the story; however, when Joseph goes to Egypt
Potiphar takes over that role; whereas, throughout Joseph symbolizes the Shadow (unconscious mind:
hence the evil reports to his father = ego).
a. Joseph’s interpreted dream24
is that of lording it over his brothers and upon hearing the
dream the brothers put him into a hole25
until they sell him to the Midianite who eventually
sold him to Potiphar. Joseph ceased being one of the brothers when he betrayed Reuben26
and had that dream of lording it over his brothers. The tendency for Joseph to betray his
brothers and that dream told his father and brothers everything they needed to know about
Joseph’s psychology.
The reader should be very careful in taking another’s word, including my own, concerning scriptural
interpretations. If the reader was to research the astrological signs of Jacob’s twelve sons barely two
23
It is extraordinary how the bible stories coincide with Jungian psychology. Joseph symbolically represents the
SHADOW, which represents repressed memories and/or all that the ego does not consciously recognize. This is
why PEI surrounds BETH symbolically surveying Jacob’s entire estate.
24
Genesis chapter 37
25
This is consistent with the suppression of those things the ego does not want to know about: to place them in
the unconscious mind (SHADOW); hence, a hole, which the unconscious mind is: a bottomless pit.
26
There is a great deal of similarity between Reuben sleeping with his father’s wife and killing the children of the
favored wife: in this case Joseph is sent off to be a slave. Rachel was dead; therefore, the care of Joseph and
Benjamin would have been place upon Bilhah. In the wilds of nature that is precisely what a challenging male cat
would do to the leader’s (top cat’s) favor female cat. The challenging cat would get rid of the female’s brood so
that it would submit to having sex. This takes place with domesticated cats living on farms. See the film:
CARESSING THE TIGER.

13. 13
books give his twelve sons the same signs of the Zodiac. One perfect example misinterpreting the
scripture is assigning Reuben; Jacob’s first born, to a Water sign of Astrology simply because Jacob on his
death bed tells Reuben “you are as unstable as water27
”. Well FIRE is as unstable as WATER and Aries,
the first sign of the Zodiac, is a FIRE SIGN. Reuben defiling his father bed has to be exceedingly
important to the story to be mentioned twice in the saga of Joseph and his brothers. It becomes much
more important when this event of Reuben with his father’s concubine is linked to the constellations of
the Zodiac. Rachel had just died giving birth to Benjamin and she is buried in Bethlehem (house of
bread). That idea becomes significant when it is realized that Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea.
Not that Benjamin was the Christ or symbolized him; rather, Benjamin symbolized the closing of the
mystical circle. Christ is much more ethereal than being a mere mortal. Mary the mother of Jesus died
giving birth to Christ: she allegorically became the first Christian. Mary went from being a Jew to being a
Christian: that is death in the eyes of Judaism just as Eve died eating the fruit of the forbidden tree.
Adam and Eve were waft into a state of Orenda, which was outside the prying eyes of Yahweh (Ego)
though they couldn’t get away from Yahweh’s (ego’s) nagging. When Yahweh screamed at the top of his
lungs, “where art thou Adam28
”, he had no clue as to where they disappeared to.
Jacob (ego) did exactly what he was supposed to do in his quest to close the mystical circle. He took all
the strange gods and buried them and then went to Bethel (House of El: God): this is the Canaanite God
of Melchizedek, who served Abraham the Eucharist (bread and the wine). There in Bethel Rachel
conceives and then dies giving birth to Benjamin in Bethlehem (House of Bread: i.e. Eucharist) of Judea
where Christ was born. Rachel allegorically is the House of God for women are known as the temple of
God. The letter BETH is said to be symbolically the temple. Jacob’s wife Rachel was considered
allegorically the contemplative life; whereas, Leah represented the non-monastic life according to
Medieval Christian Symbolism. Rachel is obviously Jacob’s anima, which he had contemplative
intercourse with and Benjamin was conceived closing the mystical circle.
Whereas it is Reuben that breaks the mystical circle by overturning what Jacob accomplished. Believing
himself to be more important and entitled to his birthright29
before his time he has a relationship with
his father’s concubine. Rachel had just died so Reuben takes Rachel’s handmaid Bilhah30
to bed31
.
Jacob, Reuben father remember that to his dying day. Reuben actions in lying with his father concubine
seems to be that of a coup d’état because his father was in mourning because of the death of Rachel;
however, because of Joseph’s informing his father of Reuben’s actions Reuben failed. This is why at the
end of his life Jacob tells Reuben that he will not excel. Cardinal signs of Astrology never excel
allegorically because they initiate projects. Symbolically, they don’t build or complete anything. Notice
how Reuben couldn’t acquiesce to actually murdering Joseph even though his brother informed on him
to his father. By placing Joseph in a hole (unconscious mind: Shadow) and selling him to the Midianites
for twenty pieces of silver. The number twenty is reduced to two, which symbolizes the ego. If the ego
is taken out of Joseph what remains is the unconscious mind, which by selling Joseph he is out of sight
out of mind. The unconscious mind is no longer in their sphere of thoughts. But the brothers have
retained the ego.
27
Genesis 49:3-4;
28
Genesis 3:9; this statement of Yahweh is analogous to people around the initiate that is trying to explain the
esoteric texts. They are basically saying “where are you coming from”.
29
This reminds me of the Prodigal Son parable.

Genesis 30:1-8;
31
Genesis 35:22;

14. 14
Allegorically, it was an animal that killed Joseph and put him into a pit (unconscious mind). The animal
was of course an astrological animal because Joseph saw himself being worship by eleven stars.
Joseph’s sign Aquarius is symbolized by the Water Bearer or the seventeenth Tarot Card: The Star,
where the Water Bearer is pouring Water into the river and on the ground symbolizing PEI is the
gateway between the material and spiritual realms.
Both Reuben’s actions with Bilhah and Joseph’s dreams are prophetic of what is to come. Reuben
represents Aries and the next sign in the sequence in the Precession of the Equinoxes is Taurus
according to the allegorical sequence of the sacred scriptures seeing that Taurus the Bull had about
completed it course. Rueben had tried to speed up the clock so to speak. When you consider that when
the Israelites were coming out of Egypt Moses first fled to the priest of the Midianites. Joseph was sold
into the hands of the Midianites: coincidence? I don’t think so. As soon as Moses leaves the land of
Egypt he is worshipping the Ram (Aries) and he is very upset when the Israelites formed a Bull (Taurus)
out of Gold and was worshipping it. The Bull is what the Israelites were worshipping in Egypt. The Bull
was not what the Egyptians were worshipping according to this interpretation of the scriptures.
Joseph dreamed that he would rule over his brothers because he had now obtained Reuben’s
birthright32
. Within the SHADOW (unconscious mind) is ego-consciousness: how this is portrayed in the
bible is that inundating and surrounding BETH (ego) is PEI (unconscious mind); thereby, showing the ego
resides in the unconscious mind. It is known that BETH is the first letter of Genesis and it is the largest
written letter in the word BERESHITH33
; thus, Joseph was telling the truth when he said his sheaf would
grow higher than their and they would give obeisance to him. For as large as BETH is the larger the
letter PEI would be. Joseph as the eleventh son: the number eleven reduces to number two (ego). Also
the twenty pieces of silver that the brothers received for selling Joseph is the Gematria value of KAF: the
eleventh Hebrew letter (Joseph being the eleventh son), which can be reduced to two (ego); however;
KAF, also symbolizes CROWN: is that the ego? It would depend upon what perspective you are looking
at it from.
There is a very good reason why I am belaboring this issue on Astrology and its Zodiac Cycle. Notice how
Joseph has the Egyptian do exactly what Jacob did when he went to Bethel. Jacob got rid of all his
gods34
and buried them. The Egyptian during the ‘spiritual’ famine sold their money, cattle (astrology),
land and finally gave a fifth of their farming production to pharaoh; thus, the Egyptian got rid of all of
their gods; whereas, Joseph had other plans for his father, his brothers and their families.
“And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, I will go up, and
show Pharaoh, and say unto him, my brethren, and my father’s house, which
were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me (v31); and the men are
shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their
flocks, and their herds, and all that they have (v32). And it shall come to pass,
when Pharaoh shall call you and shall say, what is your occupation (33)? That
ye shall say, thy servants trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until
now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for
every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians (34)35
.”
32
1 Chronicles 5:1-2;
33
This letter in and of itself is not larger than the other letter other than that the scribes deliberately enlarged it to
demonstrate the psychological concept be conveyed here.
34
Genesis 35:1-4;
35
Genesis 47:31-34;

15. 15
The point here of course is that Astrology was considered false gods. Meaning that Jacob gets rid of the
false gods; however, Reuben brings them right back trying to usher in the age of Aries by having sex with
his father’s concubine Bilhah. Bilhah means ‘shy’ showing it was a weak and/or failed effort on Reuben’s
behalf. This means that the Egyptians are not depending upon Astrology to show them what
Astrological Age they were in. They were permanently on a spiritual level in the Age of Piscis. Not that
the Egyptians thought themselves to be in the age of Piscis; rather, Piscis is allegorically the advent of
spirituality. The Egyptians from the scriptural description shows the Egyptians allegorically were never
out of the age of Piscis seeing in the scriptures their mystical circle never broke. I am talking here of the
allegorical scriptures not real time.
Joseph momentarily achieved closing the mystical circle. Benjamin was twenty-years of age when he
went into Egypt. This is determined by the fact that Benjamin was just born when Joseph was sold into
Egypt. Joseph was thirty years of age when he became governor over all of Egypt. This made Benjamin
at that time thirteen years of age. Then there were the seven additional years of plenty before the
famine making Benjamin twenty years of age; thus, when Joseph and Benjamin embrace Joseph
representing PEI, which number is eighty (80) and Benjamin was twenty years of age totaling to one
hundred (100) or the 10 x 10 matrix: commentary on the MONAD. The number one hundred happens
to be the Gemetria value of QOPH the nineteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which when grouped
with TAV (400), SHIN (300) and RESH (200) totals to one thousand and spells out the word CHRIST (krst)
in Greek using Hebrew letters: thus, closing the mystical circle. From this Catholics can understand why
they see Astrology in Christian artworks; nonetheless, the Catholic Church forbids the practicing and/or
the belief in Astrology for predicting the future. Astrology should be used merely as a symbolic tool to
understand the meaning of the words in the scriptures. Here in the twenty-first century mankind is
living in the age of Piscis; whereas, they are psychically and allegorically living out their lives in the age of
Taurus (ego) and it is kind of paradoxical that this generation has to believe in a permanent state of
being in Piscis allegorically for eternity; yet, the Egyptians were living in the age of Taurus and lived
spiritually as if they were eternally in the age of Piscis; in contrast, it would be difficult for modernists to
believe they are actually living allegorically in the age of Taurus when they are actually living in the age
of Piscis36
. I, personally, can’t help wondering if psychically our world was juxtaposition to coincide with
the esoteric stories of the sacred scriptures: i.e. the psyche. In fact it would have to be37
.
However, like his father Joseph’s momentary achievement of closing the magical circle was short lived
because immediately after Joseph gathers up his false gods again (Astrology) and is telling pharaoh that
his brothers are shepherds. This would be the age of Taurus the Bull because it was the ego that was
being worshipped. What is more stubborn than the Bull: i.e. Ego?
It is said that the first born of Egypt was Taurus the Bull and the first born of Israel was the Ram: that is
the Precession of the Equinoxes at work here. That is an incredibly insightful interpretation because
Moses came out of Egypt at the dawn of the age of Aries. The Egyptians first born (egos) were killed off
because they sold their cattle during the famine; therefore, I would suggest that somehow the ‘spiritual
36
Considering all this the reader can envisage how beautifully the sacred scriptures were written to augment the
initiate’s psyche in the real world.
37
What I mean by this is that the sacred scriptures are written to record the psychic processes of the psyche. The
world is a projection of these psychic processes; therefore, the ego lives in a world that is perfectly attuned to the
esoteric teachings of the scriptures outlining these psychic processes. Of course I do not believe that there would
be any real significance to the Precession of the Equinoxes in real time in relationship to the teachings of the
psychic processes of the psyche esoterically outlined in the sacred scriptures see real time is an ongoing depiction
of what is psychically taking place in the collective psyche of humanity.

famine’ was collectively and allegorically the ten plagues express symbolically in ten different ways;
however, those that study the book of Genesis carefully will see that from Adam (even the first Adam)
the traditional first born of the Israelites never gets the inheritance of the first born. It is usually the
second or a later son that obtains that privilege. Traditionally, the Jews (Israelites) consider the second
born to be their first son being that the first born son belongs to God. This is why I believe that the first
book of the Torah was given the name Genesis: because the definition of the word ‘genesis’ is ‘number
two’; thus, the first book of the Bible is called “TWO”: that is because the first book (Oral Tradition) is
esoterically structured beneath the text of the written Torah
THE STORY OF JOSEPH AND HIS BROTHERS: Continue Analysis
2. Joseph goes into Egypt and becomes the BUTLER38
for the second time. He is nothing but a slave but
he think that when the master Potiphar is not present that he is lord of the mansion; however,
Joseph refuses to accept Potiphar wife’s (anima) advances. Here I interpret Potiphar’s wife39
trying
to integrate Joseph into their way of life. Joseph leaves his garment behind and is later cast into
prison.
a. Why was Joseph’s garment so easily taken from him? Did he try to accept Potiphar wife’s
advances and found that he couldn’t? It is difficult to believe that Joseph did not tell
Potiphar about his wife’s advances seeing he was of that mindset: that of an informer.
i. Significantly though leaving that garment behind indicates that Potiphar’s wife’s
advances were getting to him; otherwise, why would he be naked?
ii. Like the dream that Joseph told his brother informed them of his whole mentality so
too does the garment (psychological makeup) tell Potiphar and his wife all they
needed to know about Joseph’s psychology. Joseph at this time could not be
converted to the Egyptian way of life; hence, his being thrown into prison.
3. In prison Joseph40
again is made lord over all the people (prisoners) around him or at least he thinks
so. Again he has assumed a variation of the role of butler once again, for the third time. A prisoner
is a prisoner no matter what chores he’s given to perform on a daily basis. Again Joseph, even after
being placed in a hole, is basically given the chores of a butler tending to the daily needs of the
prisoners.
a. In modern times Joseph would have been considered an informer (trustee): take the
account of the dreams that he interprets. We know that the butler and the baker were
doing something that causes the pharaoh to thrown them into prison.
i. The pharaoh’s butler is basically giving all he has grown (grapes) to the pharaoh.
The fruit of the vine into a single cup.
1. The butler is restored to his post in three days. Ask yourself, how the
pharaoh knew what to do if it wasn’t Joseph reports to the guards that
informed on the prisoners.
2. Consider also that the butler is not being elevated to a more important post
he is just restored to his previous post.
1) When considering this consider how the Israelites were allowed to
live in Goshen even though they were shepherds the most hated
profession in all of Egypt. Why? I believe the answer lies in the fact
that pharaoh symbolically represents God. God is not going to force
38
Genesis chapter 39

I do not hold much stock in other people’s wild interpretations of the texts of the sacred scriptures. I allow the
sacred scriptures to interpret themselves.
40
Genesis chapter 40

17. 17
you to live your life any different then you, personally, want to live
it; hence, the Egyptians tolerance of the Israelites.
3. Consider also that Joseph knew that the butler was going to be restored to
his post because he task the butler with the responsibility of letting the
pharaoh know about him; however, the butler forgot Joseph.
ii. Whereas, the baker has three baskets and the upper most basket was of baked
meat, which the birds of the heavens feasted upon.
“Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto
everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the
Father sealed41
”.
1. The baker is fulfilling the mandate of Christ: “feed my sheep” and in this
case it is the birds of the heavens he is feeding, which is symbolically
spiritually minded people.
2. Consider that the baker is not being hanged but rather elevated to a more
important position in pharaoh entourage. Like the rapture in the New
Testament two people working side by side one is taken the other is not.
4. Joseph is now called upon to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams. From a symbolic perspective it is not a
very difficult set of dreams to interpret especially when the dream is repeated with different
symbols. There is nobody in all of Egypt that has the ability to interpret dreams or so we are told.
This points out the fact that Egyptians were not prognosticators; whereas, the Israelites were more
prone to being prognosticators because they were nomads roaming the deserts of Arabia and knew
their star lore. Note how the pharaoh has two dreams of the same event similar to how Joseph had
two dreams of his eventual rise to overlord it over his brothers. Then there are the two different
dreams of the Butler and the Baker. Each of the three sets of dreams (six in all) is either vegetation
or animal.
a. Joseph interprets the dreams as pharaoh wanted him to interpret it because it gave pharaoh
the opportunity to make Joseph a BUTLER (overlord) over all of Egypt. This is the fourth
time Joseph is appointed overlord over all the people around him.
b. What are the years of famine, and what caused the famine?
i. The years of plenty brought about the ‘spiritual famine’ because the people had
plenty of money, cattle and land and then a fifth (ego) of their gross income had to
be given to pharaoh. What did Christ say in the New Testament, “Sell all you have
and give to the poor and come follow me”? The poor is the community. If you sell
all you have and give to the poor then you are the poor.
1. Selling all these material things allowed the Egyptian to obtain the Eucharist
(bread). The last thing asked of the Egyptians is a fifth of their gross income.
A fifth is twenty percent (20%), which is reduced to the number two, which
is symbolically: BETH: the ego; whereas, four fifths of the gross income is
eighty percent (80%) or PEI, which represents the unconscious mind and the
spiritual ground of being. The submerging of the ego into the unconscious is
bringing about a spiritual state (Orenda).
2. The Israelites on the other hand did not sell the cattle and land nor spend
any monies for their bread because Joseph gave it to them without
enumeration.
41
John 6:27;

18. 18
Consider what pharaoh has done to Joseph in the end. Pharaoh has gathered all of Joseph’s previous
adventures and rolls them up into the last task as an overlord. It is as if each successive stage of
Joseph’s butlership vocation were advancements in the initiation rites of Egypt.
a) Joseph is given a coat of many color, which is symbolic of his ten brothers occupations and he brings
back evil reports: meaning he find fault with all the vocations his brother’s have. In the process
Joseph has surveyed the length and breadth of his father’s empire as if he was the ruler of it all. In
the mean time Joseph report to his father that his brother is having a sexual relationship with his
concubine.
a. Pharaoh makes Joseph governor over all of Egypt.
i. This is the mystic element FIRE.
b) When Joseph is Potiphar butler he refuses the advances of Potiphar wife. Joseph was confronted
with the very act of sex his brother did not refuse with his father’s concubine.
a. Pharaoh gives Joseph as a wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. I find it
interesting that the name Potipherah is also defined as Potiphar by the bible dictionary.
b. Joseph refuses sex from Potiphar wife and yet is given a wife by pharaoh.
i. This is the mystic element EARTH.
c) Joseph has a dream and interprets that dream to his family but does not act out that dream.
a. Whereas, when Joseph interprets the dream of the Butler and the Baker he is actually
seeing dreams come to fruition.
i. This is the mystic element AIR
Now consider that these last two positions that Joseph has as butler with Potiphar and being a trustee in
prison (this tradecraft as butler was initiated with Jacob giving Joseph chores to do going around his
estate) as splitting up the several conflicts that he was having with his brothers. There is the sexual
experience Reuben was having with his father’s concubine (evil reports: was sex considered evil to
Joseph?) and there was the dream of lording it over his brothers that was not being acted upon.
The whole of Joseph’s life as explained in the last sixteen chapters of Genesis points to a continuous
dream. Dreams not only point out a psychological problem but also hint at the solution to the problem.
Yet, the story is told as if it is happening in the real world.
Were these two butler positions of Joseph (Potiphar’s butler and the Prison’s trustee) is him
psychologically working out his conflicts of the past? Joseph with Potiphar wife still saw sex as evil
especially when he has a history of reporting to his father that Reuben was sleeping with one of his
concubine. Jacob remembered that report to the day of his death. Then there is the conflict of one of
Judah’s son dying because he would not sleep with his dead brother’s wife. He knew the child would
not be his but his brother’s42
. It is not possible that Potiphar wife was trying to sire a child for her
husband? Could Joseph have had relations with Potiphar wife but spill the seed on the ground because
he knew the child was not going to be his?43
Women often represent the psyche (unconscious) and the butler going around the estate is very much
like the circuit of the sun. For Joseph to have verbal (sexual) intercourse with Potiphar wife could
symbolically be generating ideas, which in themselves are the children of the psyche. For Joseph to
have entered into relationship with the psyche (Potiphar wife) he would have closed the circle.
42
Chapter 38:9;
43
I feel this is quite possible because of what happen to Judah’s son Onan

19. 19
I find it extraordinarily interesting that in both cases of Joseph’s brother throwing him into a pit and
Joseph fleeing Potiphar wife that he lost his garment. Both incidences related directly to sex. Though
Reuben is exonerated by his actions his brothers took the initiative and wreak vengeance on Joseph: the
taking of his coat of many colors in relationship to Potiphar wife also having his garment is evidence of
that. In both cases Joseph is thrown into a pit. In the case of Potiphar’s wife Joseph is thrown into
prison. The similarities of the stories are two close for them both not to be of a sexual nature. For
Joseph’s brothers to claim it is because of the dream of lording it over the eleven is not that implausible
either seeing that betraying Reuben to his father is similar to Judas Iscariot betraying Christ; however, it
was Joseph that caused his own incarceration because of the betrayal of his brother and desiring to lord
it over his brother and by doing so Joseph broke Jacob’s magic circle of twelve with Jacob at the center.
The coat of many colors appears to be the many occupations of his ten brothers because in taken the
garment away Joseph is placed in a pit. Was the coat of many colors the Genesis Formula (ten Hebrew
letters) signifying the ten brothers? Joseph in representing the eleventh letter of the Genesis Formula
points to his incarceration having to do with Reuben lying with his father concubine: Bilhah (anima).
When this happen all of the sons of Jacob were gathered together, which point to the magic protective
circle Jacob closed upon the birth of Benjamin. Joseph does not receive the coat of many colors until
after he tells his father evil reports about his brothers. To pick out and favor Joseph, of all the brothers,
by giving him a coat of many colors singles him out and shows the circle is broken. If the circle was
closed there would be equality amongst the brothers.
This gathering of the brothers in a closed protective circle points to the years of plenty and this is
reminiscence of the book of Job where his family was partying and they were all slaughtered and a
report got back to Job telling him about it. Jacob created his spiritual protective circle and the circle was
broken when Reuben defiled his wife: the circle would have been already broken before Reuben dared
to commit the act. It; therefore, can be said that all the sons of Jacob were slaughtered because they
ceased being spiritual but are now egotistical again. This is consistent with the sons of Jacob tending
their sheep at the time, which points back to their studying Astrology again. The only thing that can
cause Reuben to attempt a coup d’état is if his father had stopped have intercourse with his wives.
Jacob had stopped having a relationship with the anima (Bilhah). All that the closing of the circle
means is that the initiate has a cosmology to work with that aid him or her in staying in a mystical state
of being. Being that Rachel died indicates that Jacob quit have intercourse with his anima.
Women were treated as chattel in the orient. Look how easy Pharaoh gave Joseph a wife from the
priest’s craft pointing to her being the anima. Apparently it was the custom to sexually educate the men
of the family with the women of the harem. In other word Pharaoh had to give Joseph a religious wife in
order for Joseph to understand and accept that intercourse with the anima was a normal part of being
human. It also has to do with stabilizing an individual to settle down and become part of the
community. Also giving a priestess to Joseph as a wife introduces Joseph into the Egyptian religious way
of life. Notice that Joseph has both of his children before the famine indicating he was completely
integrated into the Egyptian way of life.
d) Joseph is made governor of all of Egypt after interpreting the Pharaoh’s dreams as representing
seven years of plenty and seven years of famine.
a. The dreams of pharaoh are a bit to advantageous because they mimic in reverse the dreams
of the butler and the baker.

20. 20
i. The butler’s dream mimic the years of plenty. The vine growing on the branches
bring forth fruit and pharaoh cup is full of wine. In other words none of the grapes
were saved for another day. All the grapes were pressed into the pharaoh’s cup. It
was party time, which points to the lost of spirituality. Look what the fruit of the
vine did to Noah.
1. The butler is restored to his position.
ii. Whereas, the baker has three baskets and the top most basket is full of bake meats
being eaten by the birds of the air. Note that the other two baskets are not being
eaten by the birds as if those baskets represented storehouses. The birds point to a
restored state of spirituality.
1. The baker is hanged.
b. Is it any wonder that the pharaoh was having nightmares? The problems in pharaoh’s house
were indicative to what was taking placing in the whole of the Egyptian empire. Pharaoh did
the opposite of what he was supposed to do. Instead of hanging the butler and restoring
the baker to his position pharaoh did the complete opposite. The pharaoh’s unconscious
mind was unnerved by this and he was being plagued by it nightly; hence, his need for a
soothsayer to interpret his dreams.
Since pharaoh was king of both Upper and Lower Egypt and he gave Joseph power over all his lands then
Joseph symbolizes giving a position that takes in both roles of the Butler and the Baker. As governor of
Egypt Joseph would hobnob with the best of them throughout all of Egypt during the good time enjoying
the cups of wine; nonetheless, he would still have to feed the whole of the land of Egypt, like the baker
fed the birds, with what he had stored for the years of famine. The six dreams that Joseph had: even
pharaoh’s44
, shows the individuation process to manhood.
Consider that Joseph had dreams in his father’s house, but did not have dreams in Potiphar’s house. He
interprets dreams in prison or are these really his dreams of living in Pharaoh’s house? Is the
interpretation of the Butler and Baker’s dreams his intercourse with his anima? Since Joseph had no
dreams in Potiphar house it is obvious that having dreams is having a direct relationship with the anima.
Notice how Joseph dreams progress from the local family to the collective symbolized by the Egyptian
empire. Joseph wants to rule over his brothers, then over Potiphar house, then rule over the prison and
finally he wants lordship over all of Egypt. It would seem to me that Joseph is the central story and it
was Joseph that was having psychological problems needed to have a philosophy on life, which would
gain him access to the realm of spiritual bliss.
c. Then there is Joseph’s reunion with his brothers. It is singularly important to remember that
Joseph obsession with Benjamin is because they both had the same mother: Rachel: she had
always been interpreted as the mystical part of Jacob’s life. She died and was buried in
Bethlehem, which is interpreted as ‘House of Bread’. Is it any wonder that Joseph ends up
being the bread giver and that Joseph and Benjamin were the last two out of twelve
brothers, which when Benjamin entered Egypt the circle of brothers was closed.
i. This is the mystic element WATER.
1. Benjamin zodiacal sign is WATER: Piscis.
44
Pharaoh dreams points to the big dream, which normally would affect the whole community; however, here we
are dealing with the closing of the spiritual circle and the big dream would come from the collective unconscious,
which round out what Joseph needed to know to continue on successfully in life.

In the Cygnus X1 image above the red disc symbolizes the apotheosis of the ego to the level of the
God/Man Christ; whereas, the superstar symbolizes the higher SELF. The SELF is basically the Vesica
Piscis and the ego and the cosmology it has created is the SELF’S projection into the world it is
experiencing. In no way is the SELF to be considered the supreme GOD. There is no way of defining the
ineffable.
The red disc: Cygnus X1 symbolizes the gathering of the world’s knowledge and making a working
cosmology (philosophy on life to maintain a spiritual connection to a higher power) of it. This is why the
spelling of the word Christ includes within its tetractys Fire, Earth, Air and Water symbolized by 1, 2, 3,
and 4. It takes in all the elements of the initiate life: i.e. the universe to achieve this.
Then there is of course Joseph breaking the circle. Joseph had been reduced to just one of the twelve
brother of equal status. They were still shepherd and they never did change psychologically.
 Goshen was symbolically the circle of brothers: city of Israel so-to speak attached to the Egyptian
empire that was feeding and politically supporting it.
 Unlike the rest of Egypt, who owned no cattle45
or land and gave a fifth of their gross income to
pharaoh each year the Israelites did not participate in that spiritual ritual. They were too clannish
and in the end too egotistical to be part of the spiritual religion of Egypt.
 The death of Joseph’s Egyptian spiritual religious beliefs causes all of Goshen to believe they had
harsh taskmasters put over them, which of course were their paranoid egos at work. Like Joseph
when he was a young man they knew it all and believe they were greater than all of Egypt; hence
their flight from Egypt.
 Notice how the Israelites flight from Egypt is diametrically opposite to that of Jesus, Mary and
Joseph’ flight into Egypt. Don’t think that this is a coincidence. It is a deliberate ‘tell’ in the story.
I submit that Joseph was symbolically the unconscious from the very beginning even before the story
says he was sold into Egypt. The entire story of Joseph with those six dreams points to psychological
45
This is actually a mystical reality in real time. In Egypt every so often all the cattle die off mysteriously and cattle
have to be brought from other countries. It is said that within one generation the cattle brought from other
country look like the sketches found on Egyptian monuments. This is because of the paideumatic (educative)
influences in the earth.

growth through the individuation process and the Jungian Transcendent Function. The entire story
shows the initiation of growing into the spiritual community and the breaking away from it.
How could Joseph have had such dreams unless he was somehow exposed to that initiation process?
Children often overhear people around them talking and/or it was part of their culture to enter into the
mysteries of their religion and Joseph knew46
that that was going to be his future. Yes, Joseph was a bit
on in years but I take this as his preliminary years of secular education being brought to a close.
The whole key to understanding the symbolism of the sacred scriptures is the compartmentalization of
the several or more interpretations that are derived from a single symbol. For example the word
BERESHITH gives off scores of interpretations each of them being correct and most of them represent
different categories of thought found esoterically spread throughout the whole of the first chapter of
Genesis. Take a look above at the image of the Vesica Piscis out of the Genesis Formula. A great deal
can be derived from studying this graphic image: the mathematical patterns are incredibly in synch with
each other. The basic message is that “when two and three are gathered together in my name there
am I in the midst of them”, as Christ says in the New Testament. At the finale when the magic
protective circle of twelve is closed Christ is separating the ego from the temptations of the material
world (the void): the ego is now focused solely upon Christ and by extension the higher states of being.
I want to give several more example of the symbolism of Cygnus X1 from both scripture and monument.
THE MYTHOS OF CHRISTIANITY
The New Testament’s story concerning Christ’s ministry is the very same saga that the Joseph story
narrates; however, the ministry of Christ begins at the closing of the circle of twelve. Christ cannot
come before that point. Then at the very end of Christ’s ministry comes the intricate details that explain
the breaking of the circle of twelve and the scattering of the disciples into the Christian diaspera.
Bringing the Joseph and Christ stories together to form a perfect whole is similar to bringing the Old and
New Testament together to round out the Judeao Christian bible. It may very well be possible that the
first three stages in Joseph’s education (family, Potiphar and prison) are symbolic of The Three Degrees
of Masonry. This would be consistent with the Mason’s reverence for John the Baptist; however, the
closing of the circle of twelve would thereafter have nothing do with the secular education that the
Masons offer. The teachings of the Masonic Order can intellectually get the initiate to the edge of the
precipice47
but nothing can get the novice into the void of spirituality (Garden of Eden). The real life
mythological system48
that the Masonic Order offers is quite remarkable from the respect that it
includes all humanity’s religions. Every human is equal in the lodge, and by extension all lodges, no
matter what degree is held by an individual member. I find it equality remarkable that both Masonry
and Alchemy rose up in answer to the Protestant Reformation.
46
Here I point to the Genesis chapter fourteen where Melchizedek was the King/Priest of the Canaanite Empire
where Abraham received the Eucharist: the bread and the wine. Remember that Esau children married the
women of Canaan. Thus when the Israelites committed Genocide on the land of Canaan after the Exodus they
were in fact murdering their own relatives.
47
This would be similar to the pilgrim Dante experiencing the passing through the wall of flame that allowed him
to enter into the Garden of Eden as narrated in the twenty-seven chapter of La Purgatorio.
48
The Masonic symbolic system gives the candidate a myth to live by, which was torn away from tens of millions
by the Protestant Reformation.

The phrase ‘The Last Supper’ points to there being many suppers during Christ’s three year ministry;
thus, Christ had been serving the Eucharist to his disciples all that time. Anyone of those suppers could
have been The Last Supper. In fact The First Supper could have been The Last Supper and symbolically
probably was considering my hypothesis concerning that nanosecond of time. Personally, I believe that
the Birth of Christ: that nanosecond of time, which takes place in the psyche when the initiate enters
into a spiritual state of being, was stretched into a 33-year lifespan for Christ. The birth of Christ can
only take place upon the closing of the magic protective circle, which allows the Holy Spirit (symbolized
by the Cygnus X1, which is part of the Cygnus constellation: the Swan or Northern Cross) to appears over
the heads of the twelve disciples49
otherwise Christ could not have taught them the Word of God. What
Cygnus X1 is signifying symbolically as do the stories of Joseph and Christ’s ministry is that the CHRIST
represents collectively the twelve disciples as a unit. It is not that Christ represents twelve people but
rather symbolically he represents all the elements of one life’s Mandala: i.e. psychological state of mind
(cosmological and religious philosophy) that allows the initiate to remain in a spiritual state of grace.
Here I can see the argument that one can achieve a successful way of life without religion and I would
agree with that assessment up to a point; however, too often we see successful people in the world of
commerce that have no family life; whatsoever; other than marrying and siring children demonstrating
one has no spiritual life to bring about a full vivifying life.
The death of Christ comes about through the events that occurred at The Last Supper. Judas Iscariot
was not evil or a betrayer of Christ until he was given the sop at the last supper. The New Testament
clearly states that. Though all the New Testament authors portray Judas as the traitor upon introducing
him in their gospel the actual evil entering Judas’ heart only came about through the receiving of the
Eucharist. This is where the breaking of the circle came about. Ask yourself why Judas Iscariot betrayed
Christ. Judas was obviously given more responsibility (community treasurer) than the other disciples
indicating that he was older than the others and more responsible. He may well have been close to the
age of thirty when Jesus started his ministry similar to Joseph being thirty when he became overlord of
Egypt. Apparently, Matthew was not given the treasurer’s responsibilities because he was once a
publican (accountant – money changer); however, notice the name of the individual that was chosen to
eventually take Judas place on Pentecostal Sunday: Matthias. This name seems to be a hybrid of
Matthew and Judas even though the Strong’s Exhaustive Hebrew Concordance places the name
Matthias as a variation of Matthew; nonetheless, I point to the spelling and the sound of the name
Matthias. The moment that Matthias was chosen the Holy Spirit descended upon the twelve50
because
the protective mystic circle had once again been closed.
What was it that allowed the devil to enter into Judas Iscariot’s heart? I submit that there are but three
temptations that would allow Satan to tempt an innocent. These would be the same three temptations
that Jesus summarily dismissed in the desert in his altercation with Satan. I submit that the same
problem that plagued Joseph also plague Judas Iscariot at the end. I think that Judas thought that he
deserved a larger piece of the Eucharist then what the others received. He thought he was slighted by
the sop that Christ had given him. Any Catholic that receives the Eucharist knows that everybody in the
congregation gets the same size Eucharist (host). Even if you were a rich man or a president the size of
the Eucharist is the same as everybody else’s. Even if one got a larger piece of the Eucharist, which in
modernity is rarely possible, it would have no more spiritual efficacy as that of a sop.

Jesus said that whoever he gives the sop51
to would betray him. Jesus was going to give a morsel to
each of the twelve disciples seeing they were all equal. None of the disciples knew who he was speaking
of and they all asked Christ who it was that would betray him and he told them all ‘you said it”.
Meaning he told Judas Iscariot as well as the other; however, it became significant to Judas alone when
he betrayed Christ. Now how and why did Judas Iscariot betray Christ?
It is obvious that with Judas Iscariot visit to the High Priest rather than to a local rabbi that he wanted to
hobnob with Judaism’s priesthood. Having reached the age of thirty he most likely wanted to start up
his own ministry and had to receive permission from the elders of the temple and they gave him seed
money: 30-pieces of silver, which allowed him to create his own idea of the Garden of Eden within
Judaism: i.e. potter’s field – “let the dead bury the dead”. Think about it. Before Christ is crucified he is
the Swan: Holy Spirit. With the disciples scattered the Holy Spirit vanishes and Christ symbolically hangs
on the Northern Cross. Is this the reason for one of Jesus’ remarks on the cross, “My God, My God, why
hast thou forsaken me”?
 The twelve disciples become his crown of thorns because any priest or rabbi worth his salt can argue
both sides of the Mobius strip in a trial of heresy, which the trial of Christ was: the trial of Christ was
apparently a defrocking of Jesus from being a Rabbi, what Catholicism calls excommunication.
 Peter cutting off the ear of one of the soldiers is Peter euphemistically talking off the ear of the
arresting officer: trying to talk reason to someone that cannot be reasoned to.
 Judas’ kiss betraying Christ is symbolically paying lip service to the teachings of Christ while doing
the very opposite of them.
 Peter denying Christ is the same as what the other disciples was doing: fleeing the scene in the
Garden of Gethsemane: in fleeing they all denied Christ because they couldn’t stand the peer
pressure. This is most likely where the mythos of the magic circle keeping out evil comes from. The
moment the circle is broken evil inundates the circle.
 Christ crucified between two thieves is separating out those that will believe and who will
steadfastly not believe. This is also symbolic of splitting the curtain of the temple in twain.
 The curtain in the temple renting into two parts is similar to the Earth’s terminator designating night
and day: Light and Darkness. In every sense Christianity initially was suppose to separate Church
and State and somehow these secular and religious governments melded into one again. The
curtain in the temple represents the psyche: the ego and the unconscious mind. It is only when the
psyche is in perfect accord having intercourse with each other that Christ is with us; however, if
either side gets more than 50° equality has broken down the curtain is split in twain.
All the New Testament remarks can be symbolically interpreted. As Saint John says at the end of his
gospel:
“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be
written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that
should be written. Amen52
.”
51
The word ‘sop’ in Greek means little or morsel.
52
John 21:25; KJV If this verse is carefully considered you can see that Jesus could not have been a flesh and blood
human being but rather allegorically the spiritual interpretations of the scripture. For example if every single
human being living on the earth today (some five or more billion) were to write a book a day about any individual’s
life to the day he dies in his eighties the earth could still hold all those books. I believe John is talking about each
Christian having the time to read enough books in his lifetime about the sanctity of Christ.

25. 25
When looking at the compositional structure of the New Testament we find the four gospels and then
an additional twenty three books written by a total of eight people: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul,
Peter, James and Jude. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (gospel writers) represent the four mystic
elements: Air, Fire, Earth and Water respectively, which symbolizes the closing and the breaking up of
the mystic/magic circle forming the Northern Cross and the other authors’ fill in the rest of the Kamea of
Saturn. Look at Michelangelo rendition of the Sacrifice of Noah, which show Noah and his family of
eight surrounding the altar, on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, in the configuration of the Kamea of
Saturn. The Kamea of Saturn cubed would have twenty-seven cells similar to the Rubric Cube because it
is symbolic of cubing the number three (Trinity = 3³). The New Testament has twenty-seven books.
SERPENT MOUND
To preface this example I advise the reader to first view my online analysis of Serpent Mound on the
World Mysteries blog. Below are additional insights to this presentation.
I am continuously in a state of awe at the spiritual concept that is being conveyed at the sacred site of
Serpent Mound, in Peebles, Ohio USA. I have not stopped trying to grasp the overall purpose of the site
so I find myself continuously doing a comparative analysis of Serpent Mound and the first word of
Genesis: BERESHITH. Such research may appear aberrant to those that have no understanding of
symbolism. A spiritual concept can be express in an infinite amount of ways with different symbols and
disparate story-lines. This allows for the envisaging of a spiritual concept from several or more
perspectives.
Ross Hamilton’s work, STAR MOUNDS: Legacy of A Native American Mystery, continuously surprises me
because if one was to really look at SERPENT MOUND with the twelve signs of the Astrology surrounding
it with its huge Zodiacal disc along with the huge meteor impact crater symbolically is comparable to the
neutron star draining energy out of the superstar (see accompanied image).”CHILDREN OF THE SWAN”
in the Cygnus constellation (Cygnus X-153
).
I believe that Serpent Mound was created to symbolically represent the moment of the unset of Orenda
(state of grace), the moment of the spiritual vision that allows the mystic to enter into the state of
Orenda. This is the moment that the mystic, like Christ, ascends into heaven: Garden of Eden. What this
means is that though the individual still lives in the world the mystic is not of the world. The mystic
really wants no part of the secular world.
