“All the tribes of the Earth will learn the truth from you, Melchizedek, Great High Priest, Teacher of Abraham, the Prophet, about his promise for a perfect fulfilled life.”
– Nag Hamadi Gospels
Melchizedek
We first hear of Melchizedek in the Old Testament. In Genesis 14, we read that: “This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything” (Heb. 7:1-2).
The name Melchizedek comes from the words Melek (meaning king) and tsedek (meaning righteousness). So, the name Melchizedek means king of righteousness, and his title king of Salem means king of peace (Hebrews 7:2).
Angela McGerr in her ‘Angel Almanac’ believes that the Holy Grail is ‘the chalice of the heart, as held by Melchizedec, and containing a special key’. The key according to McGerr, is the centre of Melchizedek’s seven circuit labyrinth. This is where we can ‘find and open our higher heart, our spiritual divine Self’. She goes on to say that ‘when we open the flower that is within the higher heart we can return to Oneness with all.’ (McGerr, 2008)
Melchizedek’s Cup of Consciousness
Melchizedek holds the Cup of Consciousness of humanity and oversees the spiritual advancement of humanity.
Melchizedek is a high vibrational energy that is best depicted in human form in the painting by the Danish artist, Peter Fich Christiansen.
There is an energy and vibrancy to this painting the captures the energy that is Melchizedek.
Melchizedek’s Labyrinth
An association between Melchizedek and the labyrinth is found in Drunvalo Melchizedek’s book ‘The Flower of Life’. In the book Richard Feather Anderson is mentioned, who associated the seven circuits of the classical labyrinth with the seven chakras. and numbered the circuits of the labyrinth. The outermost circuit was number one, the next outermost, number two, all the way in to circuit number seven by the centre.
In walking the labyrinth, the walker passes through these circuits in the following numerical order 3-2-1-4-7-6-5.
Next, Richard Feather Anderson indicated the paths/numbers by a series of short lines. He drew these lines on top of the other in the sequence of walking the paths of the classical labyrinth. Then, an image of a cup or chalice emerged.
When you walk and work with Melchizedek’s Labyrinth you create a chalice of your energy body that is grounded, connects Earth and Heaven, and is a vessel for divine light and love.
Melchizedek’s labyrinth is also a vessel for accessing and holding Christ Consciousness energy; that state of being in which you are in perfect alignment with all of existence.
