Sirius is located in the constellation Canis
Major – also known as the Big Dog – and is therefore
known as the “dog star”. It is over twenty times
brighter than our sun and is twice as massive. At
night time, Sirius is the brightest star in the sky
and its blue-white glare never failed to amaze star
gazers since the dawn of time. No wonder Sirius has
been revered by practically all civilizations. But
is there more to Sirius than meets the eye?
This ancient people (Egyptians) knew that once every
year the Parent Sun is in line with the Dog Star.
Therefore, the Great Pyramid was so constructed
that, at this sacred moment, the light of the Dog
Star fell upon the square “Stone of God” at the
upper end of the Great Gallery, descending upon the
head of the high priest, who received the Super
Solar Force and sought through his own perfected
Solar Body to transmit to other Initiates this added
stimulation for the evolution of their Godhood. This
then was the purpose of the “`Stone of God,’ whereon
in the Ritual, Osiris sits to bestow upon him (the
illuminate) the Atf crown or celestial light.”
“North and South of that crown is love,” proclaims
an Egyptian hymn. “And thus throughout the teaching
of Egypt the visible light was but the shadow of the
invisible Light; and in the wisdom of the ancient
country the measures of Truth were the years of the
Most High.
In Dogon mythology, humanity is said to be born from
the Nommo, a race of amphibians who were inhabitants
of a planet circling Sirius. They are said to have
“descended from the sky in a vessel accompanied by
fire and thunder” and imparted to humans profound
knowledge. This lead Robert Temple to theorize that
the Nommos were extraterrestrial inhabitants of
Sirius who travelled to earth at some point in the
distant past to teach ancient civilizations (such as
the Egyptians and Dogons) about the Sirius star
system as well as our own solar system. These
civilizations would then record the Nommos’
teachings in their religions and make them a central
focus of their Mysteries.
The dog-star: the star worshipped in Egypt and
reverenced by the Occultists; by the former because
its heliacal rising with the Sun was a sign of the
beneficient inundation of the Nile, and by the
latter because it is mysteriously associated with
Toth-Hermes, god of wisdom, and Mercury, in another
form. Thus Sothis-Sirius had, and still has, a
mystic and direct influence over the whole living
heaven, and is connected with almost every god and
goddess. It was “Isis in the heaven” and called
Isis-Sothis, for Isis was “in the constellation of
the dog”, as is declared on her monuments. Being
connected with the Pyramid, Sirius was, therefore,
connected with the initiations which took place in
it. |
