“'This lamp will burn for only three days and nights. After that you will be in total darkness.'“These were the first words spoken by the Priests. They said no more. I heard the door close and, witha soft clicking sound, the latch was locked. I closed my eyes and began to meditate. Within thoseseven days, I reviewed my lessons of that life and all the others. I went into the land of the dead againand again to give penance for any that I had wronged. I reviewed every lesson that I had ever received in any life that I could access. I don't recall the oil lamp flickering out nor reaching for thewater. I only remember the soft click of the latch. This first external sound heard in seven dayssnapped me back into my physical body.“As the Priests entered the room, I saw their hooded faces over another oil lamp, which one of thePriests held. I slowly nodded to them to show that I was still alive and cognizant. They nodded ever so slightly in response and motioned for me to join them. It took me a while to stand up, and when Idid, I could not walk. I leaned against the wall and willed the life force back into my legs that had been crossed in one position for seven days. The Priests took my now empty oil lamp and water-skinfrom the ledge and waited patiently. When I was able to walk, they led me from the room.“I didn't know where I was going, but I knew that since I had survived the first part of the initiation, Iwould be allowed to take the next. The halls within the pyramid were as dark as before, but now myeyes were accustomed to it. The small lamp of my three guides shone like a star for me to follow. Theguides walked slowly at first to allow me to get used to my body, but quickened the pace as soon asthey knew I could keep up. We moved down, down, and down.“I had learned that the Final Initiation Room was somewhere deep below the surface of the desert,exactly below the apex of the Great Pyramid. Finally, we came to what appeared to be a dead end. Astone wall was before us. The Priests did not seem dismayed by this turn of events and formed asemi-circle in front of the wall. While I stood off to the side waiting for what would happen next,each of the Priests began to sound a tone, which I thought must surely arise from the core of their Souls.“At first their toning seemed random. But gradually, a pattern could be discerned until; at last, therewas a crescendo of beautiful harmonious tones. As the singing faded into the surrounding darkness, itwas replaced with a low rumbling. Gradually, the wall began to move to the right. Behind this simplestone barrier was a pair of magnificent and ornately carved golden doors. As the doors were slowlyrevealed, I knew that I had seen these doors before in my meditations. One of the Priests approachedthe golden doors and placed one hand on each door. The doors were so well balanced that with justthe slightest push, they swung open into a huge room. The Priests gestured for me to enter. The doorsquickly closed behind me. Again, I heard the low rumbling of the wall covering all traces of thesacred initiation room.“The brilliance of the room blinded me. I had never experienced such illumination while in a physicalform. Slowly, slowly, my eyes grew accustomed to the light, and I began to survey the room. Thisroom was not of my Egypt. There were domes and pillars studded with lapis, emeralds, rubies,diamonds, amethyst and jewels I could not identify. Colors I had never seen were painted upon themany carvings, statues and figurines that seemed to move as if they were alive. Somehow I knew thateverything within the room was very ancient and had a life force greater than anything I had ever known. This was architecture I'd seen only in my inner journeys to Atlantis.“The large center dome sheltered a smaller pyramid that was a vibration of light rather than a physicalstructure. Anubus and Thoth, the ancient Egyptian Gods of Initiation, stood within the pyramid oneither side of a large sarcophagus. The sarcophagus was mounted on a stand of pure gold with silver steps leading up the right hand side. The sarcophagus was made of a substance that I had not seen
