Dream on 7/20/2005
I like this dream....ok...A very important gold object is located underground in a cave that's been sealed by a wooden door for many years. For some reason this object actually can affect the magnetic fields around the earth, and this is the key to finding it. I also wrote the word "Lies" and "Truth" for some reason.

Ark, n.--Old English arc, earc, 'Noah's ark, box, coffin', from Latin arca, 'chest', whence also Old High German arahha, arka (Middle High German, German, arche), 'ark'. Old Slavic raka, 'burial cave, rakev, 'coffin', are Teutonic loan words.) See arcanum and compare words there referred to.
arcanum, n. Secret, mystery.-- Latin arcānum, probably a substantive use of the neutered of arcānus, 'shut up, secret', originally 'enclosed in a chest', from arca, 'chest, coffin', which is related to arcēre, 'to enclose, keep away, ward off', and cognate with Greek άρκειν to keep off',...
Also known as the Ark of Jehovah, and the Ark of the Testimony; an oblong chest of acacia or shittim wood overlaid with gold, 2 1/2 cubits long, 1 1/2 broad and high, made by Moses at God?s command (Ex. 25). It was the oldest and most sacred of the religious symbols of the Israelites, and the Mercy Seat which formed its covering was regarded as the earthly dwelling place of Jehovah (Ex. 25: 22). (See Mercy Seat.) The Ark was fitted with rings and staves, by which it was carried. Prayers were recited before it moved or rested (Num. 10: 35, 36), and during its progress it was treated with the greatest reverence. According to 1 Kgs. 8: 9 it contained only the Tables of the Law, but in Heb. 9: 4 it is said to have contained the ?pot of manna,? and ?Aaron?s rod that budded,? which had been ordered to be kept ?before the Testimony,? (Ex. 16: 32-34; Num. 17: 10; cf. Ex. 25: 16; Ex. 40: 20). The usual resting place of the Ark was in the Holy of Holies (see Tabernacle). It led the way at the passage of the Jordan (Josh. 3: 3-13); it was present at the capture of Jericho (Josh. 6); and during the conquest of Canaan it seems to have been kept at Gilgal (Josh. 9: 6; Josh. 10: 43). It was present at the solemn service held at Ebal (Josh. 8: 30-33). Later on it was removed to Shiloh (Josh. 18: 1; 1 Sam. 3: 3). In the days of Eli it was captured by the Philistines (1 Sam. 4-7, who sent it back to Beth-shemesh (1 Sam. 6: 11-20), whence it was taken to Kirjath-jearim or Baale of Judah (1 Sam. 6: 21 - 7: 2). Thence it was brought by David to Jerusalem, the journey being interrupted at Perezuzzah (2 Sam. 6; 1 Chr. 13: 11). In Jerusalem it was placed in a separate tent, which David pitched for it (2 Sam. 7: 2; 1 Chr. 16: 1). It accompanied the army in the war against Ammon (2 Sam. 11: 11), but David refused to take it with him in his campaign against Absalom (2 Sam. 15: 24-25). On the completion of Solomon?s temple it was placed in the Holy of Holies (1 Kgs. 8: 1-8). Apparently it was removed by Manasseh, and reinstated by Josiah (2 Chr. 33; 2 Chr. 35: 3). In 2 Macc. 2: 4 there is an untrustworthy tradition of its preservation by Jeremiah at the destruction of the temple. It had certainly disappeared before the building of the second temple. It was seen by John in his vision of heaven (Rev. 11: 19).
The New Kingdom saw a greater attention to the aspects of both the hidden and revealed in temple worship. The most holy was kept sacred by keeping it hidden, while the adoration of the masses was acquired through the use of the revealed. To accommodate these two conflicting ideals the Egyptians kept their most holy inner sanctuary hidden, while placing within it a sacred bark.
?Sacred boats were not new. They seem from early times to have had an important symbolic and ritual role. What the New Kingdom did was to lavish great attention on certain of them (especially the barge of Amun of Karnak called Userhat-Amun, ?Mighty of prow is Amun?), and to develop the smaller, portable version. One ?Superintendent of Carpenters and Chief of Goldsmiths? called Nakht-djehuty, who lived in the reign of Ramses II and evidently specialized in making them, was repeatedly commissioned to make new ones for a variety of temples, probably up to a total of twenty-six. Both the riverine and the portable boats were put at the center of temple design and temple celebrations. The portable boat shrines were made of wood, but ornately gilded and decorated and equipped with a closed cabin (sometimes called a seH-neTr, ?Tent shrine of the god?) in which the image of the deity sat. Long carrying-poles on each side or set laterally and up to five in number bore the shrine along on the shoulders of priests." (Kemp, Barry J. Ancient Egypt p. 185.)
Upon either side of the statue of the deity sat winged protectors much like the Cherubim on the Israelite Ark of the Covenant. Egyptians kept sacred portable shrines in the innermost sanctuaries of the temples. The focus upon these portable sanctuaries is one of the distinguishing features of New Kingdom temple design. The fixed statues from the Middle Kingdom still existed in the Egyptian temples, but they now took a secondary place.
Because of the new centrality of the portable sanctuary in Egyptian temple worship ?from the New Kingdom onward almost as much attention and resources were directed towards laying out processional routes as to the temples themselves. Processional routes were, ideally, paved with stone, lined on both sides with sphinxes or similar statues, and punctuated at intervals by rest stations." (Kemp, Barry J. Ancient Egypt, p. 205.)
I took these pictures of the Egyptian portable sanctuaries at the Temple of Rameses III at Medinet Habu. There were shadow's across the pictures which I brightened with Photoshop in an attempt to make the images more visible.
The ark of the covenant is an extremely important symbol in the Masonic rituals.
"Ark of the Covenant--The Ark of the Covenant or of the Testimony was a chest, originally constructed by Moses at God's command (Exodus XXV, 10), in which were kept the two tables of stone, on which were engraved the Ten Commandments. This ark contained, likewise, a golden pot filled with manna, Aaron's rod, and the tables of the covenant. It was at first deposited in the most sacred place of the tabernacle and afterward placed by Solomon in hte Sanctum Sanctorum of the Temple, and was lost upon the destruction of that building by the Chaldeans. The later history of this ark is buried in obscurity. It is supposed that, upon the destruction of the first Temple by the Chaldeans, it was carried to Babylon among the other sacred utensils which became the spoil of the conquerors. But of its subsequent fate all traces have been lost.
However, it is certain that it was not brought back to Jerusalem by Zerubbabel. The Talmudists say that there were five things which were the glory of the first Temple that were wanting in the second; namely, the Ark of the Covenant, the Shekinah or Divine Presence, the Urim and Thummim, the holy fire upon the altar, and the spirit of prophecy. The Rev. Salem Towne, it is true, has endeavored to prove by a very ingenious argument, that the original Ark of the Covenant was concealed by Josiah, or by others, at some time previous to the destruction of Jerusalem, and that it was afterward, at the building of the second Temple, discovered and brought to light.
But such a theory is entirely at variance with all the legends of the Degree of Select Master and of Royal Arch Freemasonry. To admit it would lead to endless confusion and contradictions in the traditions of the Order. Besides, it is in conflict with the opinions of the Rabbinical writers and every Hebrew scholar. Josephus and the Rabbis allege that in the second Temple the Holy of Holies was empty, or contained only the Stone of Foundation which marked the place which the ark should have occupied.
The ark was made of shittim wood, which is a species of acacia, overlaid, within and without, with pure gold, and was about three feet nine inches long, two feet three inches wide, and of the same extent in depth. It had on the side two rings of gold, through which were placed staves of shittim wood, by which, when necessary, the ark was borne by the Levites. Its covering was of pure gold, over which was placed two figures called cherubim, an order of exalted angelic beings, with expanded wings. The covering of the ark was called כפרת, a Hebrew word pronounced kap-po-reth, from the word כפר, pronounced kaw-far and meaning to blot out or pardon, and hence its English name of mercy-seat, as being the place where the intercession for sin was made.
The researches of archeologists in the last few years have thrown much light on the Egyptian mysteries. Among the ceremonies of that ancient people was one called the Procession of Shrines, which is mentioned in the Rosetta stone, and depicted on the Temple walls. One of these shrines was an ark, which was carried in procession by the priests, who supported it on their shoulders by staves passing through metal rings. This ark was thus brought into the Temple and deposited on a stand or altar, that the ceremonies prescribed in the ritual might be performed before it. The contents of these arks were various, but always of a mystical character. Sometimes the ark would contain symbols of Life and Stability; sometimes the sacred beetle, the symbol of the Sun; and there was always a representation of two figures of the goddess Theme or Truth and Justice, [Maat?] which overshadowed the ark with their wings. These coincidences of the Egyptian and Hebrew arks must have been more than accidental." (Robert Ingham Clegg 33 Degree, Mackey's Revised Encyclopedia of Freemasonry)
There is a tradition in Freemasonry (most likely not historical) of a duplicate ark made in case the first ark was lost.
"Ark, Substitute--The chest or coffer which constitutes a part of the furniture, and is used in the ceremonies of a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, and in a Council of Select Masters according to the American system, is called by Freemasons the Substitute Ark, to distinguish it from the other ark, that which was constructed in the wilderness under the direction of Moses, and which is known as the Ark of the Covenant. This the Substitute Ark was made to represent under circumstances that are recorded in the Masonic traditions, and especially those of the Select Degree.
The ark used in Royal Arch and Cryptic Freemasonry in the United States is generally of this form:
Prideaux, on the authority of Lightfoot, contends that, as an ark was indispensable to the Israelitish worship, there was in the second Temple an ark which had been expressly made for the purpose of supplying the place of the first or original ark, and which, without possessing any of its prerogative or honors was of precisely the same shape and dimensions, and was deposited in the same place.
The Masonic legend, whether authentic or not, is simple and connected. It teaches that there was an ark in the second Temple, but that it was neither the Ark of the Covenant, which had been in the Holy of Holies of the first Temple, nor one that had been constructed as a substitute for it after the building of the second Temple. It was that ark which was presented to us in the Select Master's Degree, and which being an exact copy of the Mosaical ark, and intended to replace it in case of its loss, which is best known to Freemasons as the Substitute Ark.
Lightfoot gives these Talmudic legends, in his Prospect of the Temple, in the following language: 'It is fancied by the Jews, that Solomon, when he built the Temple, foreseeing that the Temple should be destroyed, caused very obscure and intricate vaults under ground to be made, wherein to hide the ark when any such danger came; that howsoever it went with the Temple, yet the ark, which was the very life of the Temple, might be saved. And they understand that passage in the Second Chronicles (XXXV, 3), 'Josiah said unto the Levites, Put the holy ark into the house which Solomon, the son of David, did build,' etc., as if Josiah, having heard by the reading of Moses' manuscript, and by Huldah's prophecy of the danger that hung over Jerusalem, commanded to convey the ark into this vault, that it might be secured; and with it, say they, they laid up Aaron's rod, the pot of manna, and the anointing oil. For while the ark stood in its place upon the stone mentioned--they hold that Aaron's rod and the pot of manna stood before it; but, now, were all conveyed into obscurity--and the stone upon which the ark stood lay over the mouth of the vault. But Rabbi Solomon, which useth not, ordinarily, to forsake such traditions, hath given a more serious gloss upon the place; namely, that whereas Manasseh and Amon had removed the ark out of its habitation, and set upon images and abominations there of their own--Joshua speaketh to the priests to restore it to its place again What became of the ark, at the burning of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar, we read not; it is most likely it went to the fire also. However it sped, it was not in the second Temple; and is one of the five choice things that the Jews rekon wanting there. Yet they had an akr there also of their own making, as they had a breastplate of judgement; which, though they both wanted the glory of the former, which was giving of oracles, yet did they stand current as to the other matters of their worship, as the former breastplate and ark had done.'
The idea of the concealment of an ark and its accompanying treasures always prevailed in the Jewish church. The account given by the Talmudists is undoubtedly mythical; but there must, as certainly, have been some foundation for the myth, for every myth has a substratum of truth. The Masonic tradition differs from the Rabbinical, but is in every way more reconcilable with truth, or at least with probability. The ark constructed by Moses, Aholiab, and Bezaleel was burned at the destruction of the first Temple; but there was an exact representation of it in the second."
