1. Portrait of Jacob Boehme
Below is an illustration by the German Theosophist and mystic, Jacob Boehme (1575 - 1624), who experienced enlightenment or illumination several times in his life.
"No words can express the great joy and triumph which I then experienced. Neither can I compare this gladness to anything except to a state in which life is born in the midst of death. While in that state, my spirit immediately saw through everything, and recognized God in everything, even in the herbs and grasses." (Aurora, xix:4.)
This illustration is interesting in many ways. Immediately we note that the decorative scepter which has an 'All-Seeing Eye' at the centre, and is resting on the skull, is 38 degrees - the inverse angle of 52 degrees. This appears to be a reference to the Great Pyramid, which has support in the image of the skull.
As we will see, it is my theory, based on much supportive evidence, that the Great Pyramid represents the head or skull of the god Osiris. Giza and indeed the Great Pyramid is the original "Place of the Skull" - alegorized as the 'Hill of Golgotha' in the Gospels - hence the upright cross extending from it. We also note the surrounding the 'All-Seeing Eye' is the same centralized aureole of light shown above the cross. The All-Seeing Eye on its side, is also shaped like the ancient Egyptian RU hieroglyph which symbolises the female vagina - the portal between our world and the next. We are being told that this portal is within one's consciousness at the centre of the skull - or brain.

Furthermore, we note that the star constellations on the globe below are angled at 23.5 degrees and that the aureole or oval of light is also at an angle of 23.5 degrees. And if we were to add a line of 23.5 degrees extending up from the centre of this globe, we find that it touches the side of the brighter oval - suggesting that this oval represents the circle or cycle of precession.
We are also being told that the ecliptic pole or centre (central oval of light) which was believed to be the source-centre of creation, and to which the earth's axis would be aligned if it were upright, is also within the mind or brain or every individual - especially those who are enlightened - hence the same aureole of light surrounding the All-Seeing Eye on the skull.
