Could you do the same sort of thing, but make the pyramid transparent, and then have it built out of triangles? As such it should allow viewing of what Ra called a diamond shape, and then shade this diamond shape. Perhaps this would give us a better view. Using a distorted side view angle is not, in my thoughts, required.
Sure thing... I'll quote Ra above each image, and add my comments below.
"If you will picture with me the side of the so-called pyramid shape and mentally imagine this triangle cut into four equal triangles,"
So far so good. Each side of the pyramid is divided in to proportionally equal triangles numbering 4. We could fudge the size of each triangle to accommodate the locations of the King and Queen chambers, but Ra specifically said they were "equal".
"...you will find the intersection of the triangle, which is at the first level on each of the four sides,"
I hope I am not incorrect in my interpretation, but the "intersection of the triangle" must be the corner verticies of each topmost triangle on each side. I'm used to thinking of the word 'intersection' as meaning the meeting of two different edges, however I think it's also fair synonym for what we call a vertex in CG land. Any point where a non-gradual or discreet angle change occurs.
"...forms a diamond in a plane which is horizontal."
Indeed, if you "connect the dots" of each of the points Ra calls attention to, you can see that a diamond shape is then created on the horizontal or X&Z axis'. Note that a 2D diamond shape is nothing more than a rectangle rotated on to it's point.
"...The middle of this plane is the appropriate place for the intersection of the energies streaming from the infinite dimensions and the mind/body/spirit complexes of various interwoven energy fields. Thus it was designed that the one to be initiated would, by mind, be able to perceive and then channel this, shall we say, gateway to intelligent infinity. This, then, was the second point of designing this specific shape."
The red dot in my image represents the middle of the diamond shape, where Ra says is the appropriate place for the energies to meet. They do not indicate in this passage that the initiate must be at this location, although I believe it is spoken so in another one.
Questione Wrote:Lavazza, I like your graphics. This kind of conversation goes a lot better with pictures. In person I'm sure we would have a whiteboard completely filled with diagrams by this point in the conversation. If you could also include the "official" and "what Ra said" versions of the chambers in your 3d rendering, that would really help too.
Questioner- It's a fun idea to think about- maybe later on I will create a "Ra's version" and "the real version" of the GP with computer graphics and see where they line up / differ. So far in this thread we've established that they differ more than they agree, although I still continue to wonder if either we have not understood Ra properly or if Ra did not communicate properly. I suppose neither would surprise me... In fact, it simply must be one or the other unless there is something critical we've missed. Anyway- maybe I'll start a new thread later on (called Lavazza's CG pyramid project... perhaps... hehe) and ask for the aid of other forum members in collecting and assembling all of Ra's pyramid comments. That would help me greatly in such a work.
