BIBLE VERSES

IRON PLATE AS THE FLOOR OF HEAVEN

A symbol of the higher mental plane which is below the buddhic (heaven).

"In the Pyramid Texts it is always assumed that the flat slab of iron which formed the sky, and therefore the floor of the abode of the gods, was rectangular, and that each corner of it rested upon a pillar. . . . At a later period, the four quarters of heaven were believed to be under the direction of four gods, and the four pillars of the sky were poetically described as the four sceptres which they held in their hands." - BUDGE, Gods of the Egyptians, Vol. I. pp. 156–7.
