Quote:57.20 Questioner: If a pyramid shape were placed below an entity, how would this be done? Would it be placed beneath the bed? I’m not quite sure about how to energize the entity by “placing it below.” Could you tell me how to do that?
Ra: I am Ra. Your assumption is correct. If the shape is of appropriate size it may be placed directly beneath the cushion of the head or the pallet upon which the body complex rests.
We again caution that the third spiral of upward lining light, that which is emitted from the apex of this shape, is most deleterious to an entity in overdose and should not be used over-long.
57.21 Questioner: What would the height be, in centimeters, of one of these pyramids for best functioning?
Ra: I am Ra. It matters not. Only the proportion of the height of the pyramid from base to apex to the perimeter of the base is at all important.
57.22 Questioner: What should that proportion be?
Ra: I am Ra. This proportion should be the 1.16 which you may observe.
57.23 Questioner: Do you mean that the sum of the four base sides should be 1.16 of the height of the pyramid?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
I've also noticed this rather confusing number in my research, and hopefully my humble opinion will shed some new insight on this.
I looked into the 1.16 quote, and I think there might have been a slight misunderstanding in how Don phrased his question in 57.23. "...the sum of the four base sides should be 1.16 of the height of the pyramid" could be seen as all the combined lengths of the sides equals 1.16 of the height. There's another way to interpret Don's question, where the length of one side is 1.16 of the height of the pyramid. Even Ra's quote, "Only the proportion of the height of the pyramid from base to apex to the perimeter of the base" is a little muddy, where you can separate the "Only the proportion of the height of the pyramid from base" from "apex to the perimeter of the base". In this new way of looking at it, an equilateral pyramid pops up, for a pyramid with a 1.16 base and 1 height has an apex angle of 60.228. This is fairly close to an equilateral pyramid, or at least a equilateral triangle when the pyramid is cut in half. I've included a diagram illustrating this idea.

Now even though this line of questioning was specifically focusing on using the spiraling energy emitted from the apex, this could certainly be used as well for meditating inside. The apex angle is very far from 70, so there's no chance of the king's chamber effect.
