THE ARK OF THE COVENANT

The ark of the Covenant - the Ark of God - is the most fascinating religious object ever made.

It was the 'palladium' of the Jewish race and the 'throne' of the שְׁכִינָה (Shekhina - السكينة).

The Shekina is the majestic presence or manifestation of God (the Demiurge) which has descended to "dwell" among men. The Shekinah appeared to men as a cloud of physical light and also tinkled like a bell. The Shekinah was one of the five things lacking in the Second Temple.
The Ark of the Covenant (אָרוֹן הַבְּרִית‎ ʾĀrôn Habbərît), also known as the Ark of the Testimony, is a chest described in the Book of Exodus as containing the Tablets of Stone on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed.

According to some traditional interpretations of the Book of Exodus, Book of Numbers, and the Letter to the Hebrews, the Ark also contained Aaron's rod, a jar of manna, and the first Torah scroll as written by Moses; however, the first of the Books of Kings says that at the time of King Solomon, the Ark contained only the two Tablets of the Law.
According to the Book of Exodus, the Ark was built at the command of the Demiurge, - masquerading as the Jewish 'god' Yaweh, in accordance with the instructions given to Moses on Mount Seir.


Mount Seir
The Book of Exodus gives detailed instructions on how the Ark was to be constructed.
It was to be 2½ cubits in length, 1½ in breadth, and 1½ in height (approximately 131×79×79 cm or 52×31×31 in).
Then it was to be plated entirely with gold, and a 'crown' or moulding of gold was to be put around it. 
Four rings of gold were to be attached to its four feet - two on each side - and through these rings staves of shittim-wood overlaid with gold for carrying the Ark were to be inserted; and these were not to be removed (?).


Moses
A golden cover, a 'kapporet', adorned with golden cherubim, was to be placed above the Ark.
The Ark was finally to be placed behind a veil (Parochet), a full description of which is also given at Exodus v.25.
Egyptian Style Ark

The Demiurge, masquerading as the Jewish 'god' Yaweh, was said to have communicated with Moses "from between the two cherubim" on the Ark's cover.
Thereafter the gold-plated acacia chest was carried by the Levites some 2,000 cubits in advance of the people, when on the march or before the Israelite army, the 'host' of fighting men.
When the Ark was borne by Levites into the bed of the Jordan, the waters were said to have parted as God had parted the waters of the Red Sea, opening a pathway for the entire host to pass through (Josh. 3:15–16; 4:7–18).


The Ark at Jericho
The walls of the city of Jericho were shaken to the ground with no more than a shout from the army after the Ark of the Covenant was paraded round them for seven days by Levites accompanied by seven priests sounding seven trumpets of rams' horns (Josh. 6:4–20).
When carried, the Ark was always hidden under a large veil made of skins and blue cloth, always carefully concealed, even from the eyes of the priests and the Levites who carried it.
There are no contemporary extra-biblical references to the Ark.

The Death of Uzzah
The Ark was infamous for its deadly energy discharges.
Those unqualified to touch, approach, or even look at the Ark would be struck dead:
Uzzah was struck dead by a burning flash of energy from the Ark as he reached out his hand to steady it.
The Ark was being transported on an ox cart and one of the oxen had stumbled.
Seventy people from the town of Beth Shemesh were killed when they opened the Ark and looked inside.
The Ark was temporarily stationed there on its return from Philistine custody.
Aaron’s sons died when, against permission from the Demiurge, they attempted to offer incense to the Ark, and a fiery energy sprang forth and consumed them.


Those of the Kohachite branch of the Levites, who were assigned to carry the Ark and associated items, once they were securely wrapped for transport, were instructed never to touch or look at these items directly, or they would die immediately.
In attempting to explain this, it has been noted that the gilded wooden box resembled a capacitor, something that stores electric charge.
In this case the capacitor is two electrodes of gold sandwiching a wood insulator.
Since the Ark could accumulate and store high voltage electricity, some conclude the Ark was nothing more than a big capacitor.
A large enough capacitor can indeed electrocute a person, but according to some calculations, the capacitance of the Ark is only around 3-5 nF at most, giving barely enough energy to kill one person under ideal conditions, if charged to 300,000 Volts.
That kind of voltage is very difficult to reach, let alone maintain without flash-over between inner and outer gold layers.
To throw a spark long enough to hit someone just a few yards away, millions of Volts would be needed.
There is no way a wood-based capacitor by itself can accumulate enough power to kill a crowd, let alone surround itself with a glowing energy field and perform the more miraculous feats ascribed to it.
The Ark alone cannot do what the Bible says it can, at least not according to conventional science.
'High demiurgic technology', however, explains everything.
Just as in Alchemy, conventional scientific principles may enter into the equation, but are not the only ones involved.
While the Ark may be a capacitor, that is only a small aspect of its total function, and one has to go beyond regular physics to understand it.
It is worth noting that, topologically speaking, the Ark is a 'spherical capacitor', where one electrode is nested inside the other.
What makes spherical capacitors special is that they can receive, transmit, absorb, and emit gravity waves.
It has to do with changes in charge density coupling to changes in the gravitational potential.
The Ark was a spark gap radio, intercepting gravity waves, and converting them to electrical arcing between the two winged figures, but this was not its primary function.


Orgone Accumulator
Further, anyone familiar with orgonomy will realize that the Ark was constructed like an 'orgone accumulator', which is a box whose walls are made of alternating layers of organic and inorganic substances, and attracts and stores 'orgone energy', which is to be a grade of etheric energy closest to the material plane.

Wilhelm Reich
Wilhelm Reich also observed a connection between negative ions and orgone energy, although the two are distinct.
Their relation may be like the one between water drops and water vapour; one is a condensation or evaporation of the other.
The electrical effects of the Ark were therefore side-effects of etheric processes.
Since it was a box with a lid, the Ark carried something, and that object was responsible for its purported powers.


The Bible says that the first item it carried was the stone tablet(s), also known as the 'Covenant' or 'Testimony', that Moses brought out from Mount Seir.
This mythological story has elements of truth, namely that a stone-like object was retrieved and placed in the Ark, after which it brimmed with energy.
Therefore the Ark served as a container, shield, and/or transceiver for the mysterious object placed inside it.

Archon Demiurge
It was also called 'Ark of the Testimony', as it contained an object pertaining to the covenant between Hebrews and their Lord - the Archon Demiurge: a stone artefact called the 'Testimony'.
That the Ark radiated energy is further supported by the detail that, when it was being transported, it was thoroughly wrapped in shielding material, and its carriers were forbidden from touching or looking directly at it.
And when encamped, it was kept inside a structure known as the Tabernacle.


The Tabernacle
The Tabernacle was a portable tent system designed to safely contain and surround the Ark.
The first tent around the Ark was made of flax linen, the second of woven goat hair, third and fourth of dyed animal skins.
This great redundancy in layer upon layer appears to be additional shielding.
And shielding is only necessary if the Ark were putting out an intense energy field.
The choice of construction materials is significant.
Flax fibre has a spiral crystalline structure.
Hair and wool strands are non-linear dielectrics because the medulla, sheath, and cortex of the strands have different dielectric constants, which makes them excellent attenuators or reflectors of gravitational / scalar / longitudinal waves.
And Baron von Reichenbach found, through extensive experimentation, that wool had the ability to attenuate etheric energy, the same way metal shielding attenuates electromagnetic waves.
Copper, silver, and gold were the only metals used in constructing the Ark and the Tabernacle.
They are all non-magnetic, have only one valence electron, and share Group 11 on the periodic table.
Iron was strictly forbidden.


Solomon's Temple
Even later, in the construction of Solomon’s Temple, supposedly well into the Iron Age, no iron nails were used.
Of course in truth Solomon’s Temple being built around 1520 B.C. means it was still in the Bronze Age, but there’s another reason iron was not used.
Folklore says that fairies and other supernatural beings have an aversion to iron.
Physically it is merely magnetic, and has two valence electrons, but etherically has undesirable effects upon etheric entities and technologies.
Therefore ferromagnetic materials interfered with the Ark’s operation, save iron-containing blood that played an important role in its function.
Therefore, the Ark’s operation included both etheric and electric elements.


The Ark
Again, the gilded wooden chest was not the source of the Ark’s power, rather the object it contained was what radiated an intense energy field of an etheric, scalar, and/or electro-gravitational nature.
This energy field could precipitate electrical effects as well, but these were side effects rather than the primary ones, and this is shown in the construction of the Ark, Tabernacle, and Solomon’s Temple, which incorporate principles of etheric/scalar manipulation and shielding.
They would be designed differently if mere electrical effects were intended.
Although the Ark had electrical properties, that is insufficient to say its function was merely electrical.
We are dealing with demiurgic technology, - not human technology.
Demiurgic Energy is defined as metaphysical energy, encompasses everything from the crudest etheric energy produced by plants to the most refined astral energy produced via human love and suffering. 
It appears the Ark of the Covenant was powered, triggered, or catalyzed by externally supplied Demiurgic Energy.


זֶבַח
Jewish Animal Sacrifice
One example being the profuse level of animal sacrifices that the Jews performed before the Ark in order to please the Demiurge, “sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted”. 

The Hebrew Bible narrates that the Archon Demiurge commanded the Israelites to offer sacrifices (zevah זֶבַח) on various altars, and describes the offering of sacrifices in the Tabernacle, in the Temple in Jerusalem until the First Temple was destroyed, and resumed with the Second Temple until it was destroyed in 70 CE.
The practice of offerings and animal sacrifices in Judaism mostly ended with the destruction of the Temple, although it was briefly reinstated during the Jewish-Roman Wars of the 2nd century AD, and was continued in certain communities thereafter.
When sacrifices were offered in ancient times they were offered as a fulfillment of the 613 mitzvot. 
In the prophesied Messianic era, the Jewish Messiah would come, and a Third Temple will be built.
Religious Jews now believe that the sacrifices will be re-instituted, but to what extent and for how long is unknown.


Abraham and Isaac 
The origins of the concept of sacrifice are to be found in Jewish Scripture - in the Book of Genesis.
Abraham brought Isaac to Mount Moriah. At God's command, Abraham was to build a sacrificial altar and sacrifice his son Isaac upon it.
After he had bound his son to the altar and drawn his knife to kill him, at the very last moment an angel of God prevented Abraham from proceeding. Rather, he was directed to sacrifice instead a nearby ram that was stuck in thickets.



David Dancing Before the Ark of the Covenant
© Copyright Peter Crawford 2014
Another example being King David dancing practically naked before the Ark after its homecoming from Philistine capture.
David dancing before the Ark may seem strange, but a comparison with Native American rain dances, or the technical dances of the Sufis, or Rudolf Steiner’s Eurythmy, will show that dance is a motional ritual that is highly active on an occult level, and generates specific patterns of energies.
The more intense the dance, the greater the energy output.
David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the Lord with all his might”.
Animal sacrifices are also a convenient Demiurgic Energy source.
Slaughter liberates astral energies via the emotional experience of dying, while fat and blood provide rich sources of etheric energy.
As naturopaths and occultists know, fat and oil are good mediums for storing and transmitting subtle energies, hence the ancient practice of anointing with blessed oil.
As for blood, that it carries life-force is obvious.
Even the Old Testament says as much:
For the life of a creature is in the blood” and “But be sure you do not eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat”.
The Tabernacle
So a distinction was made between blood and meat; the latter could be eaten, while the blood contained the life-force, and had other uses.
The Levite priests sprinkled the blood against the Tabernacle altar on all sides, and burned the fatty carcass upon it, which would entice the 'Shekhina' (the essence of the Demiurge) to exit the tent (and later the Holy of Holies in the temple) and consume the remains
It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the Lord”.

The relationship between the Ark and the 'Shekhina' is reinforced by the recurring motif of clouds.
God's presence is frequently seen in the guise of a cloud in the Bible (Ex. 24:16), and the Ark is constantly accompanied by clouds: When God spoke from between the Cherubs, there was a glowing cloud visible there (Ex. 40:35); when the Jews traveled, they were led by the Ark and a pillar of clouds (Num. 10:34); at night, the pillar of clouds was replaced by a pillar of fire, another common descriptor of God's appearance (Ex. 24:17); and when the High Priest entered presence of the Ark on Yom Kippur, he did so only under the cover of a cloud of incense, intended to mask the sight of the Shekhina in all its glory (Lev. 16:13).
The Ark, of course, was accessible only once a year, and then, only by one person.
On Yom Kippur, the High Priest (Kohen Gadol) could enter the Holy of Holies to ask forgiveness for himself and for all the nation of Israel (Lev. 16:2).

This practice of sacrificing bulls, ram, and sheep was repeated regularly.
When the Ark was installed in the first Temple of Solomon, animal sacrifices were prohibited everywhere else in Jerusalem other than the Temple.
This would make sense if sacrifices absolutely had to be done in the Ark’s presence in order to be utilized, further supporting the idea that the Ark was affected or even powered by the Demiurgic Energy emitted by a dying animal and its blood. 


שחיטה - Shekhita
The Jewish practice of ritual slaughter is known as שחיטהShekhita, and its techniques, are used to produce kosher meat.
The practice involves precise cutting of the animal’s throat to ensure a calm but conscious death.
Afterwards, the animal is fully drained of its blood.
In addition, it is worth noting that cows and bulls are by definition the main targets of cattle mutilations.
They are killed while fully conscious, and later found completely drained of blood.
The aliens who do this leave behind the carcass and only take certain organs, as well as the 5-10 gallons of blood per cow, bull, or horse.
The Egyptian word for bull is “Ka” which is identically the Egyptian name for life-force energy. 
This shows that the life-force was the primary concept associated with bulls.


Ka Statue
The symbol of “Ka” is two upright arms raised in reverence, possibly stemming from a ritual pose conducive to the reception and transmission of etheric energy.
The symbol is also reminiscent of bull horns, the crescent moon, and the two winged figures atop the Mercy Seat.
Ka is said to determine one’s destiny, habits, and vitality.
It’s clear that Ka translates to etheric body.
The other subtle parts of a being, what the Egyptians called “Ba” translates to astral body.
The Ba, depicted as a flying stork with a human head, is said to wander around during the night but had to return to the body by morning.
Further, the Ba was said to indulge in pleasures, which fits the emotional and passionate nature of the astral body.
The final component, “akh” was reached only after death, when the deceased made it to the celestial realms, and this translates in occultism to “spirit.”
Hence the Egyptians sacrificed bulls, as early as the Second Dynasty of the Old Kingdom if not earlier.
These so-called “Apis Bulls” were held as divine, treated with reverence, mourned at their death, and buried with honour.


 Serapeum Complex
The bulls would be ritualistically slaughtered at the age of 28, which ties symbolically into the moon cycle, and the meat eaten by the priests and Pharaoh.
If Apis bulls were once slaughtered for Demiurgic Energy harvesting, eventually that purpose was forgotten but the ritual continued anyway.
During later dynasties, mummified bulls were buried in the stone coffers of the underground Serapeum complex.
These coffers were exquisitely carved to perfection using advanced technology equalling or surpassing anything we have today, and originating from a much earlier time.
They were likely built by the same advanced pre-Egyptian civilization that constructed the Great Pyramid.
Either those ancients who created the coffers also sacrificed bulls, or else the coffers were created for more utilitarian reasons, and only later were they re-purposed by the Egyptians to house mummified bulls.


The Apis Bull 
The Apis Bull was considered a manifestation of the Egyptian god Ptah, a deity who called creation into existence, and who was considered a god of craftsmen.
He is said to have spoken creation into existence.


Ptah
Thus Ptah is similar to the Demiurge.
Ptah” means “opener of the mouth”, and opening the mouth is the first step to saying a word or name.
Much connects here: Demiurge, animal sacrifice, etheric energy, and Ark of the Covenant.
Bulls supplied etheric energy through their blood to power Demiurgic processes.
That is the function of the etheric body anyway, to demiurgically ensure the continuation of form in a biological system prone to entropic decay.
Just that this same energy can be re-purposed toward non-biological applications through ritual slaughter.
Those who cannot tap into higher energy/intelligence must resort to the above methods and sources to trigger their desired demiurgic effects.


Meso-American Human Sacrifice
These include ritual, dance, sexual energy, animal sacrifice, and human sacrifice.
Even today, black magic and voodoo still make use of animal sacrifice.
There have been tribes and cults throughout history, from Meso-America to the Mid-East to South India, who performed human and animal sacrifices in exchange for power, abundance, security, and prosperity.
In all these cases, Demiurgic Energy can bring about desired physical manifestation.
When Demiurgic Energy cannot be tapped from an infinite source, cruder grades must be harvested from finite sources; the Israelite and Egyptian use of animal sacrifice illustrates this.



AFTERWORD

So the Ark was a 'radio to god' (in as much as the 'god' was the Demiurgos).
It was a 'palladium' for the Jews (a sacred object that was believed to have the power to preserve a city or state possessing it).
It was a source of immense power - and that meant that it had to be handled with great care.
Mishandling - or even looking at it - could mean death to those who were too foolish to heed the warnings.
The power of the Ark was derived in part from the archon Demiurg, and in part from the blood and terror of the endless numbers of animals sacrificed in its presence.
And where is the Ark now ?
Well - it would be nice to think that is was buried in some hidden spot in Egypt, waiting for Harrison Ford to dig it up.
Or perhaps it could be hidden on the Temple Mount, or in the hills of Judea.
Or - most unlikely of all - in a little, ramshackle hut of a chapel in Ethiopia (Abyssinia).
But no.
When the Archon Demiurge saw that the Jews were a spent force (from the religious point of view) he caused the Ark to melt away beyond the physical plane - so all the searching for that ultimately enticing object is - pointless.
