The link between Atlantis and Egypt

[Nau7ik]

In the Ra Material, Ra explains that their teachings were taken over by the priests in Egypt. The pyramids were built for the initiation of all who would seek spiritual initiation. The priests barred entry to initiation henceforth (after Ra left) so that none who was not apart of their order could have access to the necessary knowledge to attain it. Secrecry prevailed and the power of knowedge was hoarded over the masses.

Now, I found something VERY interesting in Manly P. Hall’s “Secret Teachings of All Ages” regarding this mysterious point in our history. It links together the fall of Atlantis and the perversion of the Mysteries in Egypt, and it seems to fit nicely with Ra’s version of the history.

Egypt, a great center of learning and the birthplace of many arts and sciences, furnished an ideal environment for transcendental experimentations. Here the black magicians of Atlantis continued to exercise their superhuman powers until they had completely undermined and corrupted the morals of the primitive Mysteries. By establishing a sacerdotal caste they usurped the position formerly occupied by the initiates, and seized the reins of spiritual government. Thus black magic dictated the state religion and paralyzed the intellectual and spiritual activities of the individual by demanding his complete and unhesitating acquiescence in the dogma formulated by the priestcraft. The Pharaoh became a puppet in the hands of the Scarlet Council—a committee of archsorcerers elevated to power by the priesthood.

These sorcerers then began the systematic destruction of all keys to the ancient wisdom, so that none might have access to the knowledge necessary to reach adeptship without first becoming one of their order. They mutilated the rituals of the Mysteries while professing to preserve them, so that even though the neophyte passes through the degrees he could not secure the knowledge to which he was entitled. Idolatry was introduced by encouraging the worship of the images which in the beginning the wise has erected solely as symbols for study and meditation. False interpretations were given to the emblems and figures of the Mysteries, and elaborate theologies were created to confuse the minds of their devotees. The masses, deprived of their birthright of understanding and groveling in ignorance, eventually became the abject slaves of the spiritual imposters. Superstition universally prevailed and the black magicians completely dominated national affairs, with the result that humanity still suffers from the sophistries of the priestcraft of Atlantis and Egypt.

Anyway, I just wanted to share that here because it fits very nicely with the Ra Material.
