I am deeply grateful to and for the handful of people who directly assisted me in various ways.
You know who you are and the world will soon be a better place thanks to your sacrifices. Also, to
all of my loved ones, friends, and associates whose patience I’ve surely (and sorely) tested.
A great debt of gratitude to a long list of other authors and researchers whose work assisted my
research efforts and/or helped to lay the groundwork for what I am now able to do. I thank them for
giving me the opportunity to “stand upon their shoulders.”

sincerely thank her for her patience and perseverance.
I thank Roy Lester Pond - http://theotheregyptblog-roylesterpond.blogspot.com - for the use of
his copyrighted photographs of Thoth and Seshat at Luxor.
The included vaticinia images are all found on my web site, http://www.sevenstarhand.org as
part of the extensive image analysis and interpretation of this centuries-old symbolic genre that I
published online in late 2007 and 2008. This book is a direct extension of that investigation and
provides extensive proof of their true meaning and purpose. All images included are for the purposes
of research, analyses, interpretation, and education about the topics and details explored throughout
this book series and embodied within very specific ancient concepts, artwork, narratives, and
architecture. I am demystifying the symbology used to create this genre and related imagery and
narratives as comprehensive proof of their true meaning and purpose, per Title 17 of the US
copyright code; - http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107. This book provides extensive
proof of religious deception and error, which includes proof of the truth about these images, their
symbology, purpose, and those that have used them to deceive in past centuries and more recently.
Most of all, I am deeply grateful to the Creator of this universe, who shepherded my way through
many lifetimes and many millennia and continues to go to great lengths to help me understand the
truth about many things.

Chapter Summary
Preface – Doctrine of Two Spirits
The context and meaning of many ancient texts and concepts have long been confounded and
thereby lost on those deceived and/or deluded by the assertions of religious leaders, founders, and
others. Over the millennia, spiritual wisdom and the ancient symbologies used to model, encode, and
encapsulate it were purposely recast and obfuscated into religion and mysticism to serve the greed
and ambitions of monetary, political, and religious leaders who sought to hide pivotal knowledge
from subjects and enemies alike. With the passage of time, the true purposes and meaning of the
symbology and the wisdom it modeled and encoded were mostly lost to history. Consequently, the
interpretations presented about the sources and meaning of these concepts and the philosophy and
cosmology of ancient Egyptian, Nubian, and Hebrew sages is mostly wrong.
About the Front Cover
On the front cover are three images taken from the Vaticinia Nostradamus manuscript, most
recently popularized as the “Lost Book of Nostradamus” on the History Channel and the Web. These
images are members of a centuries-old genre of unique and mysterious illustrations, also called pope
prophecies and illuminated vaticinia (illustrated prophecies).
Nostradamus and son produced a unique and important manuscript that included versions of the
standard set of 30+ symbolic images, plus an additional 50 or so. The purpose for using these
specific images is because the symbolism they incorporate was purposely designed to help prove the
truth about pivotal allusions within Revelation, related Hebrew narratives, and the Egyptian
symbology they flow from. In fact, all three images represent multiple references to pivotal themes
from the Book of Revelation, Nostradamus’ quatrains, and elsewhere. Like the prophets and sages
that came before him, Nostradamus was an expert symbologist and purposefully encoded stunning
proof of the truth, for those of the future.
Chapter 1 – Proofs and Premises
This first chapter presents a general overview of the topics and premises of the remainder of the
book. This book and the others in this series present stunning and comprehensive proof that the
symbology of the ancients is a multi-function spiritual-philosophical technology that flowed from a
deeply ancient past, through Egypt-Nubia, then through the works of AmenMoses, to later Hebrew
sages, and into all of their texts. It was later “captured” by Rome and deceptively recast and
misrepresented within the canons and concepts of the so-called three “Faiths of Abraham” and their
various offshoots and derivatives.
Chapter 2 – Grasping the Symbolic Keys to Ancient Wisdom
This chapter presents an overview of the verifiable structure, functionality, and relationships of
pivotal ancient symbol groups. I demonstrate how this very specific set of symbol groups decisively
proves that ancient wisdom symbology has always purposely encoded its hidden meanings within
well-known frameworks that have long-been purposely misinterpreted and confounded. Thereby,
this analysis proves the truth about many ancient mysteries. It also exposes the deceptions and errors
of religion, secret societies, mystery schools, and related mysticism and esoterica.

Chapter 3 – Grasping Ancient Wisdom
This term is fraught with confusion because of widespread ignorance about the true meaning of
wisdom. Ancient wisdom is most often associated with what some call the mysteries, which is a real
problem because mystery and wisdom are opposing concepts. Though wisdom requires absolute
precision and accuracy of concept, the spiritually associated “mysteries” are mostly imprecise
allusions and purposeful misdirection that absolutely fail this test. It is important to realize that true
spiritual wisdom is timeless and applies to the workings of the universe, as well as to those who
operate within it.
Chapter 4 – Grasping the truth about the zodiac and cyclic time
Most people do not really understand that the zodiac was created as a symbolic system that also
merges science and spiritual wisdom, much less what that means. This seamless merger of science
and spiritual philosophy is an undeniable hallmark of ancient Egypt and those that came before
them, not of Babylon or the other ancient empires to which it has been erroneously attributed.
Today’s flawed astrological systems are heavily influenced by Babylonian interpretations,
motivations, and flaws that were further modified by the Greeks and others. As you will grow to
understand, here is more comprehensive and redundant proof that most symbolic concepts, including
the zodiac, have been greatly misinterpreted and purposely misrepresented.
Chapter 5 – A certain point within a circle illuminates ages-old darkness
In this chapter, I take a little detour from the hierarchy of symbols and groups discussed so far.
The point within a circle (circumpunct, astrological symbol and hieroglyph for the sun, alchemical
gold, etc.) is the most important member of a special group of symbols that provide a parallel body
of synchronized wisdom. At first glance, it does not seem to fit into the symbol groups discussed
earlier that define the rules for other symbols. Instead, its purpose is to model another set of rules
that all of the others follow. It therefore resides alongside or before the other symbols already
described.
Chapter 6 – Stars, Angels, and the Wisdom of Ages
Like most ancient symbols, the meaning and purpose of stars and angels in pivotal symbolic
texts have long been misinterpreted. As discussed earlier, ancient sages and prophets patiently
encoded a series of verifiable proofs of the truth throughout their texts over the millennia. The
symbolic wisdom within the works of AmenMoses and later sages is the vessel (ark, grail) for a very
long-term sting operation against religion and its leaders. This chapter not only exposes the truth
about the symbolism of angels and stars, but as you read on, you’ll gain greater insight into the great
patience and expertise of these ancient sages. The nature of what was encoded by the symbolism that
links stars, angels, the zodiac, the wisdom of ages, and cyclic time is deeply profound and humbling.
Chapter 7 – Opening the Seven Seals
The seven seals are a multi-faceted symbol that incorporates several pivotal concepts. In its most
basic definition, a seal is a verifiable mark, signature, and/or code meant to secure, protect, and
validate both the source and the content of whatever has been sealed. Its purpose is to encapsulate,
protect, and serve as a test of validity. The seven seals are multi-dimensional, like the seven hidden
dimensions, and incorporate a highly evolved and structured symbolic code (ancient wisdom
symbology). As I have already shown, Revelation uses the seven stars, angels, and seals to represent
its hidden time code and symbolized cycles. Thereby, one of the pivotal aspects of the seven seals
