The Journey of Initiation: A Passage Beyond Breath [Day 1]

In the coming blogs, I will be sharing some reflections from my recent spiritual journey to Egypt, which brought me to a new level of transformation.

Before entering sacred space, we must ask for permission, waiting to be invited before stepping in. This essential first step on our journey of initiation began with a visit to Khufu’s Pyramid.

The Pyramid, a portal or "duat," serves as a gateway for transitioning the soul to eternity. It holds profound symbolic connections to celestial bodies like Orion and Sirius, embodying themes of renewal and spiritual connection. Functioning as an energetic structure, it resonates with natural frequencies, such as the Schumann Resonance (7.83 Hz), facilitating harmonization and meditative states. Its capacity to amplify vibrations and frequencies mirrors the process of spiritual transformation and initiation.

Part of our group chose to venture inside. Honestly, I didn’t know what awaited me. As we walked further into the pyramid, the passage became smaller, forcing me to bend as I moved forward. The deeper we went, the less air there was.

The narrow corridor stretched ahead, tight and suffocating, like being drawn through the umbilical cord of rebirth. Step by step, the air grew thinner. I struggled to breathe normally as the passage narrowed, and the effort of bending in places made it more challenging. The nuts I had eaten earlier felt heavy, and I noticed my breathing beginning to change. It shifted to an energetic breathing, similar to what we practiced during our alchemical exercises—a sign of shifting frequencies.

The sensation was unmistakable—a threshold between worlds, a passage from the ordinary into something profoundly different.

Inside the chamber of Khufu’s Pyramid, the shift was sudden and profound. My breath changed entirely; an energy-driven respiration seemed to take over. The change happened quickly, unlike during practice, where we usually prepare ourselves over time. I realized there was no fresh air. The chamber felt like a vacuum, void of oxygen, evoking the sense of being somewhere beyond Earth—perhaps in the cosmos itself. It was dark, suffocating, and yet beyond time.

As the ordinary workings of my mind quieted, initiation began. The stillness demanded surrender, aligning me with the ancient resonance of the pyramid. We meditated briefly as a group, but even without formal practice, simply being present in that space—with activated, energetic breathing—transported me to a different state of being.

As I perceived it, this is what initiation means—to step from the mundane into the eternal. It was as though the ancient resonance of the pyramid was aligning me with its frequency. We meditated briefly as a group, even though meditation or spiritual work is not officially allowed in tourist sites.

Simply being present in that space—with activated, energetic breathing—transported me to a different state of being. It was a brief yet profound experience of existing in a place where life felt connected with immortality.
