The Egyptian Book of the Dead - 1240 BC - 'The Chapters of Coming Forth By Day' - makes reference to the "Shining Ones" - "Behold, oh ye shining ones, ye men and gods..." Chapter 134 - 15/17. Also ....."Behold, oh ye shining ones, ye men and gods..." - Chapter 134 - 15/17
The Shining Ones appear in many myths and cultures - by different names. They are ethereal entities from a place of creation and light. They appear tall, as giants, that which is 'above'. They are the source of light energy from which all began and to which we all soon return.
One might also think of the Shining Ones as aliens.
I found this image about the Tree of Life - the Qabbalah - in which the Shining Ones are described as the spheres - creation by harmonics. The spheres are the tones of creation. The tone is the [white] stone - a god metaphor.
Camelot Revisited The Shining Ones, coming from the stars (Pleiades, the Great Bear, and Sirius) and bring gifts of higher consciousness, spirituality, and secrets of civilization and agriculture (grain). They came to earth - left and will return.
The Shining Ones - It appears that the Shining Ones were bilaterally symmetrical bipedal beings, ranging from four to seven feet in height. They wore clothing of many kinds, suited to fit a being with two manipulatory appendages and two legs. It is likely they had a head perched on their torso above their manipulatory appendages, as well; research indicates that this was the place where their visual sensory organs were located judging from the height of visually interesting items in their remaining buildings.
