The Temple in Man.

Sacred Architecture and the Perfect Man

1887-1961

The work of R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz constitutes a major breakthrough in our understanding of ancient Egypt. His many years of research in medieval hermeticism and its expression in cathedral architecture led him to the discovery that the very same principles informed the sacred architecture of ancient Egypt.

This insight prompted him to undertake fifteen years of on-site research at Luxor Temple. He measured the entire temple, including every block and inscription, and proved that the plan of the temple was rigorously based upon human proportions and designed to symbolically represent man. Each detail of masonry and symbolic art expresses an element of the Egyptians' comprehensive knowledge of man's physical and spiritual anatomy. The human being embodied in the geometry of the temple's architecture is Pharaoh, symbolic of the Perfect Man. In Egypt, Pharaoh represented the final stage of man's evolution, his ultimate divinization.

The Temple in Man awakens us to the inevitable resurrection of the spiritual essence of man which has involved itself in matter. This resurrection depends upon the transformation of the material universe and is the sole cosmic goal. Every human birth participates in this alchemy, either in a conscious manner, through the intentional perfecting and manifesting of one's higher nature, or unconsciously, through the tumult and suffering of experience that lead eventually to spiritual self-awareness;the temple in man.
