Ziggurat

 

There is a place.

Out of Now Here.

From All About Heaven : Ziggurat.

These pyramids were symbolic, but their symbolism became extended over time so that the cultures believed that these pyramid temples ‘connected’ heaven and earth. Because of this, they were not places for public worship, and were accessible only to the ‘priests’ in effect the shamans.

Given that some may have been placed over geological fault lines or other geological features that aided trance states, they may have been literally that, in effect serving a double purpose, both a place symbolising a part of heaven – the symbolic dwelling places for ‘the Gods’ – but also a place where it was possible to go into the correct visionary state to go travelling into the spiritual world. The ziggurat at Babylon, for example, was known as Etemenankia or “House of the Platform between Heaven and Earth”.
