Dangling Threads in LOO series

[Monica]

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

Lavazza, I'd like to address these points (if no one minds the tangent).

First of all, I think it's important to remember that researchers are still trying to figure out how the pyramids were built. The last time I saw something on a science channel about the pyramids, they admitted that their explanations were long shots. Oftentimes, theories are presented with a slant in mainstream tv, so that the general public is given the impression that the 'theory' is factual when, in actuality, it's just a theory.

I remember their theory being much longer than 20 years...maybe you saw a more recent documentary.

But even at 20 years...it's still an impossible feat. I agree that 1 block every 2.5 minutes does not sound plausible...even with modern technology! And let's not forget that the blocks are so perfectly aligned that not even a razor blade can be inserted between any 2 blocks. I remember hearing the researchers say that even with modern technology, their precision could not easily be duplicated, if at all.

So, your statement Modern day researchers tell us it was made by a voluntary group of workers who worked 10 hour days for 20 years. is, in all likelihood, a theory, not a fact, regardless of how it was presented.

Then, let's look at the next statement: In 1990 graves near the pyramids were discovered, apparently part of the construction crew.

I think this statement is missing a key word: presumably.

A grave was discovered. But how could they possibly know that it was the construction crew? Why would the crew members have all died at the same time? Why would they have been buried together? Were they in an accident? How does that prove that they had anything to do with the pyramids? Maybe they were building some other structure nearby. There are many possibilities...the point being that its is nothing more than presumption that they were the construction crew of the pyramids.

A couple of years ago, I saw a documentary on Discovery Channel about some stone samples & photos being given to a group of researchers. They were not told that the samples came from the Great Pyramid.

The researchers concluded that the erosion of the stone was caused by water erosion.

They were then told that the stone samples came from the Great Pyramid. They were incredulous! They feverishly began retracting their earlier conclusions, because...it was clearly impossible for the erosion to have been caused by erosion, because everyone knows that there has not been any water in the Sahara Desert for at least 11,000 years. And, since the researchers knew that the pyramids were only 4000 years old, well, that surely means that their original conclusion was erroneous, right?

This shows just how strong biases can be, even among scientists, who pride themselves on their objectivity.

The conclusion of the documentary was that the original data met scientific standards; therefore the conclusion that the pyramids were indeed at least 12,000 years old, was established to be correct. However, it would take some time for this astounding news to be accepted by the scientific community.

This finding totally blows away all the preconceived ideas about how and when the pyramids were built...but guess what? It totally agrees with both Cayce and the LOO.

I don't think Ra was playing any games with the pyramid explanation. I am much more inclined to think that whatever science shows you saw, were in error. Just the documentary I saw, just that alone, already refutes the mainstream view anyway.

Guys, I'm sorry to derail a little bit, but I've got to share an odd synchronicity that I just experienced. I'm sitting here thinking about pyramids, after finishing the above post. Confused of course, mulling the details over in my head, not finding conclusions. I'm listening to my iPod, and I switch to Radiohead's Amnesiac album. The second track in my playlist is called 'Pyramid Song'. Sort of surprised, I navigated to it and hit play. It plays two seconds and stops, then goes to the next song. I went back and tried playing it again and again, but it won't play, period. This almost never happens. Now I get curious and looked up the song on Wikipedia. Check this out, the lyrics for the song were inspired by three sources, 'Tibetan Book of the Dead', 'Egyptian Book of the Dead', and 'Siddhartha'. The song's lyrics are as follows:

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

What are the odds? I guess this is a cosmic smack to the head. I should probably consider putting the pyramid thing to rest.

Ah, but before you do that, please let me know what you think about my comments, just posted!

PS. I'm a Radioheadhead too.
