HUMAN LIFE EXPRESSION when the individual follows the DOWNWARD WAY.

22. Here, at the CHOICE OF THE WAY, is a great secret. At this point, fitted into the lower end of the FIRST ASCENDING PASSAGE, is a GRANITE PLUG which completely fills the FIRST ASCENDING PASSAGE entrance, and it has defied all modern attempts to move it. Since the opening of the Pyramid within the last few hundred years, there was a long time in which there was no knowledge of any ASCENDING PASSAGE. All that could be seen was the DESCENDING PASSAGE which leads to the CHAMBER OF CHAOS. Finally a passage was dug through the rock AROUND the GRANITE PLUG so that entrance into the ASCENDING PASSAGE was gained. This GRANITE PLUG, at the time the Pyramid was used as a TEMPLE OF INITIATION, could be EASILY MOVED BY SECRET MEANS. Those who did not know the SECRET could not ASCEND—they could only go down to the CHAMBER OF CHAOS. The INITIATE was given a SECRET KEY, or HINT OF THE WAY, but he himself had to work out the secret and APPLY IT in order to move the GRANITE PLUG and thus begin to ASCEND the UPWARD WAY. Here is the Secret Key by which thou mayest remove the Granite Plug which prevents thy Ascension: “Turn to the Light that is within thyself, even the Light which Lighteth every man which cometh into the world; and in so doing shalt thou find that all that is required by thee is already provided for thee within thyself. So it is that thine own Divine Initiative and Assurance shall allow thee Ascension in the Way. The Power of Love is the only Force which will remove the Granite Plug for thee, so that this ‘mountain’ may be ‘removed and cast into the sea of Truth.’ Peace be unto thee.”

NOTE: The term ANOMON, means UPWARD ONE, and it is used by us to signify the INITIATE who has begun ascent on the upward WAY.

THE Great Pyramid itself shows why the inch-week basis is in effect in the King’s Chamber, and it stands as its own authority. No man can add anything thereto, or take anything therefrom. It is the Truth revealed for all who have eyes to see.
