SACRED MEASURE

The builders of ancient monuments used a system of measure that not only allied with this planet, but also opened portals of communication with nature and the entire cosmos.

The next time you pull out a measuring tape, assuming it is in inches and feet, you’ll be surprised to know that the Imperial system of measure evolved from a system last employed to design Egyptian temples and pyramids.

Latter-day studies undertaken to measure the Earth– most prominently by NASA and USGS– came up with figures that are widely accepted in the scientific world as the most accurate to date. Yet surprisingly, the Egyptians actually got there first, with the Cubit.

The Egyptians used two versions of the cubit: the Sacred or profane Cubit, which was used for everyday transactions such as commercial weights and measures; and the Royal Cubit, for the construction of temples. And it is the latter that is of specific interest.

When our ancestors erected their places of veneration, they did not choose some arbitrary point on the land. The location was, without exception, marked by the crossing paths of magnetic energy, often referred to as dragon lines or serpent energy. The temple was then erected using specific types of stone that acted to hold these errant energies to the site. The blueprint for the temples was then started in earnest, and because the site was already in some way energetically connected to the host planet, the architects figured the connection would be further enhanced by using a unit of measure extrapolated from, and an analog of, the planet as a whole. And they came up with the Royal Cubit.

The length of the Royal cubit is a subdivision of the circumference of the Earth, 21,600 nautical miles, or 43,200 Great Pyramid base perimeter lengths. Divide by 440 (cubits per base side of the Great Pyramid), and then by 4 (four base sides) and you get the Royal cubit of 20.632 inches.

The square root of Pi (1.77245) x Royal Cubit = 36.52424 = the length of the year between Spring Equinoxes divided by 10.

Royal Cubit x 10,000 = 206,320 = the radius of the earth in seconds of arc.

Since the human body as a whole was seen to contain all possible energetic and crystalline associations with the planet from which it emerged, it was believed that using a unit of measure so intimately associated with the Earth in the construction of temples was to allow a form of direct communication.

When the body is dis-eased it is out-of-alignment with its host environment; in extreme examples of illness, such as cancer, human DNA and its crystalline structure actually become deformed. Therefore, by taking a dis-eased person into a temple that bears perfect expressions of the planet, the Egyptian created ideal environments for the individual to return to harmony. In other words, you walked-in holey, and walked out wholly.

Or as we say today, holy.
