1 Kings 6:6 · World English Bible
The lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
The 3 rising chambers of Solomon's house are the stations of the serpent force climbing the body, the winding-stair ascent told in stone. The lowest chamber, measured by 5, is the natural man of the 5 senses at the ground of the body, and the coiled energy is drawn upward from there until it reaches the third and highest chamber, the pineal at the crown, where the inner light is kindled.

ESOTERIC
The 3 rising chambers of Solomon's house are the stations of the serpent force climbing the body, the winding-stair ascent told in stone. The lowest chamber, measured by 5, is the natural man of the 5 senses at the ground of the body, and the coiled energy is drawn upward from there until it reaches the third and highest chamber, the pineal at the crown, where the inner light is kindled.
The measurements are a code for consciousness, the same number 9 woven through the temple's whole design. This is what happens inside a living person when the force locked at the base of the spine climbs and lights the small chamber in the head.
Solomon's house: the human skull and brain, built to be the dwelling of the higher self The nethermost chamber: the natural man of the 5 senses at the base of the body, where the rising force begins The third chamber: the pineal gland at the crown, where the risen energy arrives and light is kindled
Esoteric lens
Which floor of yourself are you standing on right now, and have you really been through the one below it?
The energy is said to sleep coiled at the base of the spine and to wake upward through the centers of the body, reaching the crown last. Nothing skips a station.
Deepening stillness is described in ordered stages, each one entered only from the one below it, each less tangled in the senses than the last.
The coarse energy of the body is refined upward, from the belly through the heart to the head, until what began as appetite arrives as clear light.
