“The architect’s fingerprint is absolutely everywhere and it’s IN YOU. YOU are a piece of that fingerprint and you might realize that your consciousness is also. And there’s no joke in saying you are created in God’s image and you can therefore take parts in the power in creation of the intelligent designer.”

“Schwaller decided to stay there at least for the while to take careful measurements and to see if they could find harmony and proportion written into the plan of Luxor. He was lucky because at that time, there was a French archaeological commission that was busy measuring the temple down to the millimeter so he had absolutely accurate, unchallengeable data to work with…[W]hat they were looking for specifically I should say is the famous golden section which is expressed mathematically as one plus the square root of five [divided by] two and this is a proportion that was known to the Greeks, used in the Parthenon, used by the Latin architects, and subsequently by the artists and architects of the Renaissance, and of course, was also supposed to be a Greek invention. Schwaller reckoned that if he could find the golden section or ‘phi’ as its written written into the plan of Luxor, well the case would be proved as it were and everyone would have to change their minds or so he fondly believed. Changing the minds of Egyptologists or archaeologists is not so easy. Not only did he find the golden section, but he also found the musical scales written into the measures and proportions of Luxor and he found them deployed with a sophistication and a complexity that far exceeded anything the Greeks had subsequently done. Effectively, he found the key to Egyptian architecture but fired by this, the mathematics led him first to the geometry and then into the symbolism and the mythology and finally, into the astronomy, medicine and all the rest…”
