The Venus Blueprint

by Richard Merrick

  In the Sumerian cosmogony descended from the Vedic Aryans, the primordial sea of space was called Nammu, the sky mother. It was Nammu who was responsible for creating the An or Anu, the god of heaven. The Akkadians equated Anu with the heavens and, in particular, identified Inanna (or Venus) as his consort. In this way space was understood as an etheric medium within which the stars, planets, and people all resonated into existence from light. And it was through this perspective that Venus came to be personified as a womb in space, just as we find it described in the Rig-Veda.

  Indeed the entire system of Vedic thought appears to have arisen from the presumption of an etheric field underlying all things. It is described as the substance of Dyu (Heaven) and Prthai (Earth), the parents of Indra (the Sun) and Agni (Mercury). It is described as the duality between Purushic ether in Heaven and Prakrtic ether near Earth. And it was through this luminiferous medium that sunlight and all forms of energy were believed to travel. Life too resonated up from this medium, crystallizing into specific patterns like minerals and the slow-moving planet gods.

  All of these ideas are in full accord with quantum mechanics and the flow of fermions through the Lattice QCD (quantum chromodynamics). There is simply no other reasonable choice but to conclude the Armenian Aryans had developed an accurate musical Theory of Everything prior to their writing of the Rig-Veda and prior to their migration south in the fourth millennium BC.

  The Lost Symbol Found

  In his latest work of fiction entitled The Lost Symbol, author Dan Brown proposed the existence of a lost word or symbol unlocking what he calls the Wisdom of the Ages. In particular Brown proposes an ancient circle and dot logogram known as the circumpunct as this lost symbol. Used by the ancient Egyptians to represent the Sun and solar god Ra, a quest to rediscover the circumpunct becomes the main theme behind his plot.

  While Dan Brown does a marvelous job crafting his story, explaining many esoteric symbols and mythologies along the way, the circumpunct is anything but a lost symbol. On the contrary it is one of the most documented symbols of all time, used in everything from medieval alchemy to mathematics, geography, language, philosophy, and religion, including the Hindu third eye. It is even used as the trademark for Target Corporation. The only thing lost about this symbol is that it probably represents the Venus transit with the dot being Venus herself.

  I would propose that a far better candidate for a lost symbol exists in the Venus Blueprint. To my knowledge this symbol has never before been suggested as a unifying symbol for ancient wisdom. Here is a brief review of what we have covered in this book concerning its unique properties:

  Properties of the Venus Blueprint

  • Matches the actual geometrical orbital pattern of Venus as seen from Earth,

  • Described in the oldest known religious writing, the Rig-Veda,

  • Found as a symbol in many other religious traditions, perhaps representing the biblical Holy Grail and ancient entheogenic practices,

  • Fits the symbolic model of a mountain, tower, or pyramid between Heaven and Earth,

  • Used in the floor-plan design of Rosslyn chapel and much older temples,

  • Exhibits unique mathematical and acoustical qualities in buildings based on its design,

  • Offers a model compatible with other sacred geometry,

  • Exhibits a geometry corresponding to simple harmonic laws that is experimentally reproducible as cymatic resonance patterns using primitive materials and methods.

  When you stop to think about it, the Blueprint symbol certainly does contain the Wisdom of the Ages. It opens the door to an ancient worldview in which God was studied, not only as a spiritual concept, but also as a resonant patterning process in nature. It opens our hearts and minds to a beautiful cosmos made of music, founded on the principles of harmony and balance.

  Most important the Blueprint offers a rational foundation for spiritual development. As a template for the construction of sacred spaces synchronous with the body, it may well have a natural effect on the human mind, assisting in the control of meditative and entheogenic experiences. How different would Dan Brown’s novel have been had he known about the Venus Blueprint?

  In the end the Blueprint temple design is perhaps our best evidence yet for the existence of an ancient harmonic science and a global House of the Star founded on it. Slipping through the millennia and coming to rest inside a small rosy chapel in Scotland, the Venus Blueprint bears the untold history of the world within its resonant egg.

  It tells a story of musical angels and water dragons; resonating cubes and acoustical chambers. It whispers to us about the secret of the Garden and its gods of the vine, warmed by serpent light and fertilized by honeybees. It holds the Wisdom of the Ages in its pillars and the Love of Aphrodite in its splendid stars. As Stuart Mitchell says, “Nothing is lacking but the key.”

  Yet we find the Lady Chapel is not the last Blueprint temple to Venus. The last temple lies far beyond the Phoenician pillars on the shores of a lost continent. There beneath the waves stands the congress of the gods, a faint reminder of the forgotten glory of the gods of Amurru and Magadha. Sitting high atop the Capitol Hill, they no longer remember the harmonic wisdom from which they came.

  But today the goddess is reborn. In one hand she carries the torch of enlightenment and in the other the temple Blueprint. In her celestial transit, she once again beckons us to follow her into the temple of freedom. Not a temple made of stone, mind you, but the most sacred space of all—the resonant temple of the mind.
