Law of One: Edgar Cayce readings on Egypt

"The Sphinx points to that period when there was the last change in the Earth's position, when the pole shifted, and to the time when there will be the change back to that position which existed at the time of the building of the pyramid. The face of the Sphinx was altered from its original form, which was that of a lion, to represent the union of human and animal consciousness, showing man's development through the ages." (Reading 5748-6; June 22, 1935)

"...That the Great Pyramid of Giza was built by the entity Hermes, or Thoth, in the period of the division between the children of the Law of One and the sons of Belial. It was begun and completed in the period of Araaraart's time, with Hermes as the guide. The pyramid was built as a place of initiation and as a record that would be read by those in the future. The position of the pyramid in relation to the heavenly bodies at that time is a record in stone of the history of man's experiences in the earth and his development. The various chambers represent various phases of human development through which each soul, each entity must pass in its evolution." (Reading 5748-1; June 30, 1932)

"The pyramid was built by the application of those universal laws and forces of nature that allow iron to float in air, or stone to be as flexible as rubber under certain conditions. The stones were levitated through the use of sound and the alignment of cosmic energy. The building was done by those of the Law of One, with the aid of those from other planes of existence who gave the mathematical calculations and the mechanical means by which the stones were raised."

(Reading 5748-3; July 1, 1932)

"In Egypt, the entity was a priest during the time of Ra-Ta, when there was the establishing of the truths that are as laws in the present. These truths were given to the peoples through the temple activities where there were the interpretations of the relationships between man and the Creative Forces. These truths are to be uncovered again when the Hall of Records is opened, which will be when man has reached that understanding where he will not pervert the truths contained there."

(Reading 294-149; September 21, 1936)

"In the pyramid, the initiate underwent trials in the various chambers, symbolizing the journey from materiality to spirituality. The King's Chamber represented the final stage of enlightenment, where the entity communed with the divine. The passage to this chamber is so arranged that only those who had attained to certain degrees of development could pass the various tests that were in the different chambers."

(Reading 440-5; December 20, 1933)

"When Atlantis was destroyed, the records were carried to Egypt by Iltar and deposited in the Hall of Records. These include not only the history of the destruction of Atlantis and the scientific knowledge of that civilization, but also the prophecies of the changes that were to come upon the earth. These records were placed in the pyramid and in the Hall of Records under the Sphinx, to be opened when man had reached that understanding where he would not pervert the messages given there." (Reading 996-12; July 27, 1937)

"The passageways of the pyramid mark the time when the soul enters into materiality, the exodus of the Israelites, the birth of the Messiah, and the present era. The end of the chronology is 1998, when there begins the period of preparation for the shifting of the poles. This is represented by the low passage that leads to the King's Chamber, indicating the trials that will come upon man before he enters into the new age." (Reading 5748-2; July 1, 1932)

"The position of the pyramid is such that the passage between the pyramid and the Sphinx leads to the Hall of Records, where there are tablets of stone, gold and copper, containing the records of the Atlanteans and the building of the pyramid itself. These records give the history of the earth from the beginning of time when man first took form upon it, down to the end of the present age, when the changes will come again to the earth."

(Reading 5748-5; June 21, 1935)

"The entity was among those who came from Atlantis to Egypt, bringing the records and establishing the first temples of the Law of One, where there were the interpretations of the relationships between man and the Creative Forces. The entity was among those who assisted in the building of the pyramid and in the preparation of the records that were to be preserved there for future generations."

(Reading 275-38; February 14, 1936)

"There is a chamber or passage from the right forepaw of the Sphinx to the entrance of the Hall of Records - or chamber of records - where there is a duplicate of the records that were buried with the Sphinx. These were placed there by the priests of the Law of One when there were those periods of destruction that came to the land. These records contain the history of Atlantis and the changes that have come to the earth, with the history of the peoples from the beginning of man's entrance into the earth plane."
