Serapis Bey and the Temple of Luxor
The Temple of Luxor, the Chapel of Serapis and the ascended master Serapis Bey — a profound spiritual encounter. (9 min read)
Serapis Bey is an entity of the Casa Dom Inacio. His picture used to hang in the surgery room and I am blessed to have a photograph of that highly energised image. An ascended master, Serapis is responsible for the white ray and serious students of ascension.
I have been magnetising a visit to Luxor Temple for longer than I can remember and this is the principal reason for my tour of Egypt. I spend at least a year – and more likely several lifetimes – preparing for this opportunity. In a mundane sense, I have been playing the “Kodoish” mantra on repeat in my house for the last year because
“The Masters and Their Retreats” by Mark & Elizabeth Clare Prophet (ISBN 09272040242) greatly aided my preparation and is a wonderful resource. That book contains a comprehensive biography of Serapis Bey, a description of the Temple of Ascension, including its establishment after the fall of Atlantis, and an explanation of the ascension process. I remain deeply touched by this paragraph from the book:
“Serapis, then, becomes a very important key at a time when there are so many problems in society. The increase in crime, murder, rape, drugs, and so forth is the sign of the coming of the Mother light, rising from the altars of Lemuria. The rising light becomes so intense that, unless we dive into it and become part of it, it becomes the rock that Jesus spoke of – unless we fall upon that rock and allow our misconceptions to be broken, it breaks us. It is the light that resolves identity, but is also the light that is so powerful that it can destroy the false identity that rebels against it. At the dawning of the age of Aquarius, the world is in rebellion against the light of God, and yeet the world is seeking God. The teaching of Serapis Bey and the mysteries of the Brotherhood of Luxor contain the answers that can resolve these questions”.
The Luxor temple was established by Serapis Bey in his incarnation as Amenhotep III (18th Dynasty – c 1388 BC to 1348 BC). Amenhotep III was known as “The Magnificent” and his 38 year reign (possibly as co-regent with Akenaten for some of the latter years) was peaceful and arguably “the height of cultural and artistic achievement”.
While Amenhotep III, was not Serapis’ last incarnation, his etheric retreat is located above Luxor temple. The cult of Serapis emerged almost one thousand years after the death of Amenhotep III during the time of Ptolemies (ie after 342BC) creating a deity that could be worshiped by both Egyptians and Romans. There is a chapel dedicated to Serapis in the Luxor Temple but, in the past, there were temples honouring Serapis in major towns.
As we progress on this tour of Egypt each day is better than the last, and the energies of the temples feels stronger, but Luxor Temple is very special for me. The temple has been expanded and modified by various pharaohs, including Rameses III, but I found myself most drawn to the places connected with Amenhotep III.
Luxor Temple is on sacred ground and was preceded by an ancient Egyptian temple and later used by romans, coptic christians and muslims. The site is still higly energised and I caught a large number of orbs in my photos.
The Temple is particularly stunning in the evenings. The lighting is beautiful and against the night sky one feels closer to the higher realms. I visited the temple three nights in a row.
Although there were many visitors on our first visit, I had some time alone in the Holy of Holies to energise the rosaries for my loved ones in this sacred space which was once the power centre of Egypt. I also managed to get inside a cordoned off Roman chapel dedicated to Serapis to say a quick prayer.
On my second visit to Luxor Temple I was blessed to have the site to myself for 2.5 hours. The lack of visitors meant I was able to sing the Kodoish in the holy of holies. The Kodoish is a sacred mantra sung by the seraphim (the highest of the angels) in the in the ascension temple – which is located in the etheric directly above the Luxor Temple. I have been working with this mantra for a couple of years and it was such an honour to be able to sing it here. However, the main focus of this visit was a lengthy private meditation which was perfect in the balance of giving and receiving.
My third visit was to the mosque on the site, rather than the temple itself. The Mosque of Abu el-Haggag merges remnants of the ancient Egyptian temple with classic Islamic architecture. The mosque includes relics of this holy man and others. We were welcomed to this mosque and I was able to connect with the energies of these muslim saints and to feel the loving energy of the place in which the muslim men say their prayers.
There were many other opportunities for connection with Amenhotep III in Luxor:
- There is a strong link with the Karnak Temple and I found that I could readily project my field over the 3 kilometres between these two holy places. Karnak had the strongest energy for me of all the places we have visited here so far (we are yet to visit the pyramids).
- The Egyptian Museum at Luxor is very nicely done, with an awesome collection of beautiful statuary, including many stunning pieces from a cache discovered in the Luxor Temple in 1989, as well as some objects from time of Arkenatan (Amenhotep III’s son) and Tutankhamun (Amenhotep III’s grandson).
- When we visited the tomb of Ay on the west bank this week we passed the tomb of Amenhotep III. This tomb was inaccessible due to restoration work but we were able to say a prayer for Serapis at the entrance.
- Also, like every other visitor to Luxor, we took photographs of the Colossi of Memnon – huge statutes of Amenhotep III which were at the entrance of his mortuary temple on the west bank. One gets a great perspective on this holy site from the hot air balloon.
I was a little sad to leave Luxor today, but as we drove past the Luxor Temple and I said my silent prayer of thanksgiving to Serapis I could smell the sacred oil that was made for me in this town. How awesome is that?
Namaste.
