Hi Lavazza,
I've considered the pyramids and many other such references in LOO many times and developed the following hypothesis. First, as you mentioned, Ra says that any manifestation from outside our density such as the pyramids, UFOs, etc have always been presented ambiguously in order to preserve the free will of those encountering them.
Don Elkin's training as a scientist and his underlying need to prove things scientifically, I think, also molded some of the responses that Ra gave him. There are several places where Don ventures into transitory material and it almost sounds to me like Ra is going along with him and agreeing with his train of thought or line of questioning in order to maintain his free will to believe what he wants. As "observers" of the discussions after the fact, it is really impossible to know to what extent Ra was observing Don's conviction of an idea and feeding him what he expected to hear. I think this is especially true of transitory material. I think that it is much less an issue when dealing with non-transitory information, which was the real purpose of Ra's contact.
Based upon this hypothesis, I've taken the approach of reading any and all transitory material in the LOO, as well as Q'uo channelings as nothing more than interesting ideas or even science fiction (recalling that even science fiction can, with time, become science fact).
This is also why I especially tend to dismiss the more sensational parts of LOO. Not because I don't believe them, but because whether or not I believe them really has no bearing on my spiritual evolution and preparation for the Harvest.
So how were the pyramids made? I don't know and really don't care. I do believe that they are a source of wonder and were used for healing and initiation, and were inspired from an other-worldly source.
I also think this is the underlying message behind Q'uo's admonitions at the start of each session. 3rd density is a very complex web of interconnected, supportive and mutually exclusive individual realities, so I think it really is possible that some things can be factual reality for one person and mere fantasy for another. It is up to us to choose which is which.
Still, I do believe that there are certain immutable facts and laws that pertain to every individual existence. These are the golden nuggets in the LOO (and for that matter all Earthly religions), and LOO is particularly rich with them
Food for thought,
