| KING SOLOMON'S TEMPLE King Solomon's Temple has been described and interpreted to represent the human Body. The body as a whole represents King Solomon's Temple. Some great authors and great thinkers such as "Harold Percival" have expressed that the entrance or first step of the Temple sybolizes the prostrate, the second step symbolizes the kidneys, the third the adrenals, the fourth the heart, the fifth the lungs, the sixth the pituitary body and the seventh the pineal body. The body is that house not made with hands, but eternal in the heavens. The heavens to many have a different meaning. I will tell you mine. Heaven to me is a state of existence as well as a state of mind. It can also be described to mean the outer bodies of the space beyond our atmospheres. So if the Great mind of the GAOTU created us from His heavenly mind it was the body of man which He created and made a Great Temple to house a soul and the spirit Man. The Temple described in our VSL has a deeper and inner meaning. Many things in our books of sacred laws have a higher moral truth. King Solomon's Temple or the word Solomon can be broken down as meaning Soul-of-Man. King Solomon's Temple means the Temple of the soul of Man who alone is the King who governs it by the will of God. Have you ever wondered why there was not heard the sound of axe, hammer or any tools of iron while building this Great Temple? The tools used to builds this Temple were not metallic because it was the creation of the human body and as we know all things are created in mind and spirit before created physically. We were that which was without form and void, we existed in the darkness of the face of the deep, and the spirit of God was the prana or energy which electrified and charged the waters in the womb of the Woman to magnitize our very being. He moved upon the face of the waters, and after that 9th month of human gestation light illuminated upon the face of the child which forced his way into the outer world who is bounded by a covenant with his Creator and thus a Temple was created but not yet erected. The Building of this Temple is not yet completed. It is not yet conscious of itself. So it goes through time of learning to find who and what it is. It is an ashlar and a stone which has not yet built upon itself. It has the potentials of all the beauty that it can become, it is the stone and the building, Microcosm and Macrocosm, Father and Son, Seed and Tree, Sun and Moon. the Temple is that house which must be adorned with the furniture of experience. It has many rooms to furnish. "In my Fathers House there are many Mansions". Interesting enough is the understanding that we are the triune self. We are the apprentice who becomes the fellows of the craft who matures into the Master Craftman. We are the three in one. J.F.C. Fuller said "As man is fashioned from out of the inertia, the dust of the earth, and through the breath of life (that is the essence of the divine dynamic) becomes a living soul, his mind (that is the "Organ" of his thoughts) is constantly attracted toward inertia. It is only when the God within him, the living soul, is aroused, that he can break away from things earthy and soars closer to the divine thought which created him. This breaking away from the inert towards the living is called an act of will-"Let there be Light"! but in its restricted human form. Obviously, then, it is a personal endeavor; that is to say, it can only be accomplished by the individual, for though one individual can obtain guidance from another, the toil and the labor is his and his only".
