The corner stone
It features in the book as the original
Good work Dan brown
Tyler's chair
The famous Tyler's chair which features in the Lost Symbol book - the words at the back of the chair (which did not come out well in my photo) is the famous motto - "Know Thyself"
The house of the temple
Designed by the same architect that designed the Washington memorial and the Capitol.
It kind of takes your breath way with its audacity - being right in the middle of a normal street in Washington.
With human headed sphinx like statues guarding the front.
Scottish Rite of Freemason
Supreme Council 33ยบ
You can have a free guided tour and see inside (suggested donation $10).
The building is open to the public and the story is that it is a fraternity (men only) of people engaged in philanthropic actions to better themselves and others.
Part of me wants to believe this. But another does not like secret societies and wonders if the conspiracy stuff is true? The connection to the Templars is interesting - there is a picture of Jacques De Molay - the last Grand master of the Knights Templar who was burned at the stake.
Bishop's Garden
"Beyond the doorway lies the walled-in Bishop's Garden. Nestled with this peaceful urban oasis are two herb gardens, a rose garden, winding stone pathways and the octagonal Carderock Gazebo (Shadow House) lined with benches inside.
In the novel, the Lost Symbol, Reverend Colin Galloway, the dean of the cathedral and Freemason, was relaxing in the Shadow House when he was first notified of an important phone message from fellow Freemason Warren Bellamy, the Architect of the Capitol Building"

Chapel of the resurrection
While this does not feature in the Lost Symbol book, I visited the chapel of the resurrection in order to activate the Adam's Earth Grid with the powerful energies of the resurrection.
There is a beautiful set up of a poignant statute of Jesus in front of a painting of the Madonna and child. It is a copy of a very famous painting by Raphael called the Sistine Madonna.
The two works of art had a profound effect on me - deepening my relationship to Jesus as the Divine forerunner for our own "resurrection" as Divine Humans - birthed once again by the Cosmic Mary.
I plan to write a blog about this based on Andrew Harvey's powerful realisation of the 4th wave that will bring our relationship with the planet as our Mother back into alignment.
