Merkaba

History has talked about the Mer-Ka-Ba mostly as the vehicle that allows

a person to ascend or descend into the higher or lower worlds. But

actually the Mer-Ka-Ba is much more than just a vehicle of ascension. It

can be, really, anything — since it is the primal pattern that created

all things and all universes, both visible and invisible (see The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, volumes I & II).





In the Bible there is reference to Ezekiel and the wheels by which Ezekiel ascended into heaven.[3] This was the Mer-ka-Ba.





In the Torah, there is reference to the Merkavah (as it is spelled in

Hebrew) which has two different meanings: One meaning is ''chariot,''

which is a vehicle; the other is the ''Throne of God.'' When the two

definitions are combined, the true meaning comes to life.





In Ancient Egypt, this primal pattern was called the Mer-Ka-Ba. It was actually three words, not one. Mer meant a kind of light that rotated within itself. Ka meant spirit, in this case referring to the human spirit. And Ba

meant the human body — though it also could mean the concept of Reality

that spirit holds. And so the entire word in ancient Egypt referred to a

rotating light that would take the spirit and the body from one world

into another.





I once spent a couple of hours with Credo Mutwa, the spiritual leader of

the Zulu tribe in Africa. He explained to me that Merkaba (one word)

was a Zulu word meaning a space/time/dimension vehicle. He told me that

according to Zulu legend his entire tribe had come from another

dimension here to Earth using the Merkaba.





In the modern world there are teachers worldwide — and I am one of them —

who are helping people remember the Mer-Ka-Ba. Thus begin a process in

consciousness that will eventually translate us from the

third-dimensional world into the next higher one through what is being

called ''ascension.''





Ascension involves a process where the human body is transformed into

light and translated by an incredible birth into a new world. It is

achieved through a meditation that requires the mind, heart, body, and

spirit to completely integrate in one pattern of light and transcend the

human limitations of this reality.





This concept of the Mer-Ka-Ba as an ascension vehicle is not new. It is very, very old.













What actually is the Mer-Ka-Ba? Technically, it is an electro-magnetic

field sitting at about four degrees Kelvin, found primarily within the

microwave range — at least in the third dimension — that is entirely

geometric in nature. Specifically, the geometry used is called ''Sacred

Geometry,'' as this particular geometry is found in the creation

patterns of all things in Creation.









The Mer-Ka-Ba field is extremely complex, involving the five Platonic

solids and other sacred polyhedrons. It is believed to extend through

all possible dimensional and parallel universes, and can possibly change

its nature from electro-magnetic to whatever is appropriate.





The blueprint of the Mer-Ka-Ba is found throughout nature, such as in this photo of a galaxy.









One of the functions of the Mer-Ka-Ba, as we said, is to act as the

vehicle to take the spirit and the body into the next world. However,

this function — and most of the other possibilities — is impossible to

obtain until something changes within the person. The

Mer-Ka-Ba is situated around the human body like a three-dimensional

geometric web that is dormant and nonfunctional, waiting for the right

moment. When the spirit that inhabits the body remembers that it is

there and begins to change certain aspects of itself, an incredible

transformation begins to grow.





It was believed in ancient times, and even written about by the Hebrews,[2],

that the Merkavah could be turned on by certain principles in

meditation. This involves breathing changes, and mind, heart, and body

changes that alter the way a person perceives the Reality. From my

perspective, it is the beginning of ''Enlightenment.''





And yet it is clear that the Mer-Ka-Ba can also be ''activated,'' as the

New Agers say, by other methods beside the male-style instructions

using the breathing changes mentioned above. It can also become

functional through methods that are purely female. Through the true

living of qualities such as love, faith, trust, truth, and compassion,

the Mer-Ka-Ba can spontaneously become alive. In other words, very pure

human character can translate into a living Mer-Ka-Ba field around the

person, even if that person doesn't initially know it is there.





And yes, absolutely, the Mer-Ka-Ba is alive. It is a living field, not a

purely mechanical field of energy. Because it is a living field, it

responds to human thought and feeling, which is the way to connect to

the field. So the ''computer'' that guides the Mer-Ka-Ba is the human

mind and heart. The possibilities are endless.





At a certain and specific moment (not necessarily in this lifetime), a

person's Mer-Ka-Ba field can become alive. When this happens, an

electro-magnetic change occurs which results in a disc of energy that

comes out from a tiny place near the base of the spine and quickly

expands to about 27 to 30 feet in radius around the body. This disc can

easily be perceived by scientific means, and if the United States

Airforce is correct it can be put up on their computer screens via

satellite. In other words, the military can see people who activate

their Mer-Ka-Bas, and watch as they move around the surface of the

Earth.





Since the number of people who have done this is now in the millions, it

is a fairly common sight now. It is the enormous magnetic burst that

results from the disc expanding that brings attention to itself. This

can easily be made invisible by people who activate their Mer-ka-Bas, if

they so desire.





The knowledge of the Mer-Ka-Ba is well known by most of the more

powerful governments of the world. I am certain that our government used

the Mer-Ka-Ba in the 1943 Philadelphia Experiment and the 1983 Montoc

Experiments — in their mind-control experiments and dimensional

explorations, and in controlling weather. And I am equally certain that

Russia is using the Mer-Ka-Ba in their spy programs and defense systems.





But regardless of government experimentation, Mother Earth, the human

race, and we as individuals can profit from this understanding and

knowledge. The remembering of the Mer-Ka-Ba is unfolding all over the

world. From my point of view, this unfoldment is all part of the

evolving cosmic DNA. The Mer-Ka-Ba will be remembered now because this is the time to remember.





Yes, I believe, as did almost all the ancient civilizations, that there

are specific moments in the history of mankind where great jumps in

human understanding take place, as in the ancient Sumerian, Egyptian,

and Indus Valley civilizations.[3]





I truly feel that we have arrived at another one of these grand moments

of human history where brilliant light expands around the world, and

another huge leap in human consciousness appears. And, my friends, I

truly believe, from my own personal experience, that the Mer-Ka-Ba is a

doorway or a dimensional window into a higher level of consciousness

that could be the catalyst for this great change called ascension.





So, to close, I will say again: Your character is the key to your

ascension. Regardless of who you are at this moment, good or bad, you

can change your character. Like losing weight, it is completely within

your control if you focus.





In changing yourself, your Mer-Ka-Ba can become alive. And once it is alive, everything is possible.
