The Masks of Nyarlathotep: Egypt part 1

The Diary of Adam Walters

Downtime

After the success of the last mission there was some time off. I have been doing some training exercises to stay fit. These involve days at the gym plus some walking and running.

The first week after talking to a friend about life and relationships I joined up with a spiritual healing group for a session on clearing the Heart Chakra. It was right up my street. There was a guided meditation. We were using green and pink light to cleanse our heart Chakras.

During the mediation we imagined ourselves walking up to a French chateau. I imagined the colour as pink. This was the colour being used for the cleansing, as well as a green colour. We walked towards the house, went up some stairs and entered. We went through the first door to the left. Paul the Venetian guided us through to the art gallery. There were some pictures. Some were blank canvases. We were left to allow images and feelings to come naturally. I imagined pink and red hearts in the shape of balloons and cushions. Some words and phrases came to mind. Some were from the sayings of Buddha. I spent a short while doing a Buddhist meditation on unconditional love. Later an image came to me. It was of a bedroom door. I opened it and asked myself who I'd like to be in there with me. Instead of someone already in my life I decided I'd like it to be someone new. On leaving the mansion Paul the Venetian gave us gifts. Mine were a paintbrush and a red 2-D heart.

Some of the others had different experiences. One person felt that they weren't ready to enter the house so didn't go in. Others who are more visual than me saw pictures. One saw a picture of a hunting scene. She didn't like it. Others felt that they had long flowing ball gowns on. They saw pictures of the impressionist style. After the meditation we were told we might use the pink light in days to come to continue the process. We might also wear something pink. I don't think I have anything to hand.

A couple of weeks later I met with the spiritual healing group for a session on clearing the Throat Chakra. We were told how it related to the colours blue and sapphire blue. It is the 1st ray of creation, the blueprint. Elmonia, the King Arthur figure works through divine power and divine will. In the Bible the Voice of God said ‘Let there be light’. The power of voice had done that.

One man described how the Chakra is situated on the same point as Ren 22, Tiantu, the heavenly chimney. It is a window of the sky, a connection between heaven and earth. When it is blocked mental emotional issues result. A lady mentioned how her father had blocked her communication which had led to frustration and anger. I spoke next. I said that I wanted to have my voice heard and for my communication to be clear, open and harmonious.

After the meditation one lady said that she had had images of decapitation. She saw bats and goo coming out of the whole in the neck. Afterwards her head came back together. One gentleman mentioned that he had Egyptian images coming to mind throughout the meditation. That made me think of Nyharlathotep and his words that he would see us in Egypt.

I went to a course on Sonic Expansion Healing. According to the teacher it works through sound waves to re-connect your heart with your Soul Vibration, which for most of us we have forgotten. It is through this connection that your path becomes clearer & you become aware of your lessons, issues & blockages. So much so that they start to fall away from your life, bringing you into sustainable joy & starting to embody Mastery in all aspects of your life. I got plenty of experience using it with others, doing distant healing and on himself.

The next session was on clearing the third eye Chakra. There was an initial meditation where a shaft of white light from the heavens was used to clear out old debris from our Chakras and a neon blue electrical staff was used to energise us and get us ready to activate our third eye. Afterwards a few people spoke about the third eye. The anatomical location is the same as the pineal gland.

If you draw a line between the eyebrows the midpoint corresponds to the acupuncture point Yintang. Yintang has a calming effect when needled. There is a notch in the bone there. Directly behind it a few centimetres is the location of the Third Eye Chakra. When your Chakra is strong you are able to make accurate intuitive decisions and evaluations about your life path and other people. You often know things unconsciously. You have a vivid picture of where your life is headed.

The Chakra is all about science, sacred geometry, mathematics, trusting your intuition. In order to trust you must first let go of distrust. The group discussed what and who they distrusted. The government was mentioned and there was a lot of stuff about relationships. During the mediation the group were asked to let go of any mistrust in their life they were able to at this stage. I had some really strong sensations in this third eye area. Ryan, the group leader suggested to go outside and let your third eye have a look around. As it happens I had done that recently.

A meeting at HQ

We were summoned to MI13 for a meeting. We are to go to Egypt. We are asked what equipment we want to take before details of the mission are revealed. A case of putting the cart before the horse. As usual I won't be ‘packing heat.’ I leave that to others who are more suited to that sort of thing.

We have some leads from the investigation into the Penhew Institute and mansion. I believe there were also some leads from the mission to Paris, which Alec was involved in. One of the leads is a map with some highlighted locations. The Red Pyramid is one of these. Giza is also highlighted. A bust of Nephren-Ka, the Black Pharaoh. The tourist murdered on the train in a ritualistic fashion. An end user certificate for Uranium 239 signed (allegedly) by Penhew himself despite him being dead at the time.

We are to investigate the Clive expedition which is being funded by the Penhew Institute. Apparently there have been some strange goings on. A stone sarcophagus has disappeared from the dig in Giza. It was reported to contain the remnants of a Pharaoh queen who ruled in her own right in the 6th Dynasty. There is some controversy over this with some Egyptologists agreeing there was such a person and others denying it. There were no witnesses to the crime which is strange in itself since the stone sarcophagus must weigh many tons. The Egyptian authorities haven't exactly been bending over backwards to find the thieves. We have some of our fellows in Egypt track down some of our leads before we head over there.

Egypt

We arrive in Cairo and are greeted by a soldier type and a junior diplomat who have been sent by the Embassy. We discuss findings in the MPV on the way to the hotel.

They have been looking into some leads. Most of the people they were looking into have died. Some recently. Two people have been killed in a most brutal fashion by thugs using clubs with hooked spikes in them. This seems to have prolonged the suffering. One man died in a house fire.

There is one lead who may still be alive. He was involved in the dig. Jan is a Dutch-American student from the University of Liverpool. He was sacked from the dig 6 days prior to the theft. He has become the scapegoat. Although he is suspected to have stolen some scrolls it's unlikely he could have organised the theft of the stone sarcophagus, certainly not without a great deal of collaboration. Apparently he phoned his parents a couple of days ago saying he was still in Cairo and that he was enjoying the dig.

The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (Central Cairo)

I phone Lionel from the College of Antiquities. I was hoping to get a contact for Dr Henry Clive or someone at the museum of Egyptian Antiquities (in central Cairo). He greets me warmly and soon the conversation turns to Egypt. He has had no dealings with Dr Clive so no luck there. He has a contact at the museum. It's the curator called Ali Khafour. It appears that they are thick as thieves. This proves to be the case when I make an appointment with the curator later that day.

Ali Khafour knows Lionel well and it soon becomes obvious that I can drop the charade of being a ‘cultural attaché’ and get down to business. He mentions Lionel's code name ‘Solomon’ and refers to himself as ‘Jackal.’ He is most welcoming and we have tea and biscuits in his private office.

I come to the point and discuss the spiked club murders, hoping he will recognise these unusual weapons. He says that the group that uses them are called the ‘Brotherhood of the Black Pharaoh’. He infers that they use such brutal sacrificial killings as initiations. They are also used to scare other local thugs who will think twice before crossing them. I mention Kenya and Uganda and he seems to think that the Brotherhood are spread across Africa, most of them being in North Africa.

Nephren-Ka, the Black Pharaoh, was thought to have ruled in the 3rd dynasty. Although in Egypt Black is a colour with positive connotations, he was an evil ruler. The black seems to relate to the colour of his skin. It's unusual at this time as the Pharaohs of the time looked more like Israelis or Arabs. He has since been defamed and his name obliterated from the records.

Ali strongly believes that Nitiqreti, the Queen and ruling Pharaoh of the 6th dynasty, did in fact exist. He speculates that she may have tried to resurrect the cult of the Black Pharaoh. When I mention the Voodoo woman who was part of the dig with Carter and Penhew he mentions that she may have been using necromancy in order to contact the spirits of the dead. I mention that Carter’s sister reported his behaviour had changed since he met the voodoo woman. Ali commented that we should consider possession as a possible reason for the odd behaviour.

A visit to the pyramids

We visit the pyramid in Giza. In the central chamber I sense that there is a strong energy. I use this energy to create a psychic shield in the shape of a sphere of glowing white and gold light. The energy is circling in a clockwise direction and will deflect negative energies.

I also sense some evil-tainted energies. One is nearby in the direction of the tomb where the sarcophagus of the Queen was meant to have lain. It seems to be weak, perhaps a remnant of a stronger energy. There is some more powerful evil energy down and off at an angle. It can't be in the pyramid itself but may be in the region since there are many underground tunnels.

Alec asks me whether I think that the energies come from ghouls. Ghouls would make sense since this is a Necropolis but I don't feel that the energy of bestial ghouls is strong enough. More likely is a stronger form of evil like that I experienced on Silbury Hill. In fact, the set-up seems similar to that place in that some of the energy coming into the main chamber may have been being used to seal the evil Queen in place. On the other hand it may be being used to keep the tomb energised. Since the expedition had to break the seal in order to enter it is impossible to say which is the case.

Feeling somewhat drained I am left behind while the others visit another pyramid. We still need to visit my contact at the museum for further questions in light of discussions we had when I revealed the information I had obtained. Alec Douglas will accompany me for a second visit.
