Something that's intrigued my geek sensibilities since reading the Law of One is the construction of the great pyramid. I don't mean to distract anyone from the bigger picture that the LOO presents with this topic, but the theme of the thread seems to allow it. The subject has been something of a stumbling block for me, as there is conflicting information from Ra and what modern archaeologists give us. For my own purposes, I have already 'left this behind' when it comes to my overall intake of what the LOO presents. However as a conscious and thinking entity, I still ponder it from time to time and feel confident that there is a way to rectify the two. Perhaps this thread is the means to do so! So, what does everyone think about this topic?
Ra tells us that the blocks for the construction of the pyramid were cut and moved in to place with thought. And that it was built with blocks to present the idea that it was made by humans. Modern day researchers tell us it was made by a voluntary group of workers who worked 10 hour days for 20 years. In 1990 graves near the pyramids were discovered, apparently part of the construction crew. Ra explains that the pyramid was built over-night, unless I have read it wrong. For a long time the standing theory was that it was built with a land ramp, but this has been shown to not be the case. Just recently as of last year there have been groups of people who have proposed the idea of an internal ramp- although I'm not sure how that works exactly. They're going to do some research to prove or disprove this notion sometime this year. One thing that the mainstream group has not sufficiently explained however is how it was constructed so fast. According to their numbers, I've read, each block would have had to been put in place every two and a half minutes. Anyone who has ever worked with another human on any project knows that nothing can be that streamlined.
Also- the pyramid was built with surprising accuracy, down to mere milimeters in terms of angles.
One idea I had was that perhaps the information given by Ra about the pyramids was to act as something of a lamp post, or maybe a guard post. The information is right at the beginning of the Law of One text. Could it be perhaps that this was intentional, to 'weed out' the people who would not be open to accepting the information within the LOO as a whole? In other words, if the reader is open minded enough to accept that the pyramid of Giza was built with thought, they will be open to accepting anything else Ra has to say (or something of that nature). If that's the case, is the explanation of the pyramid metaphorical in nature? It certainly seems to be explained in detail if this is the case.
One thing I can say, this theory aside, is that if modern science has done anything consistently it's been shown to be wrong over and over again, in favor of new ideas. (you know, the world is round, not flat... the earth revolves around the sun, not the other way around... etc) Not in all areas, but in many of them, and I'm certainly open to the idea of humanity being completely wrong about how it was built
