Hmmm, this is interesting, Deekun. But wouldn't this be wrong since Ra stated that the diamond is formed in a plane which is horizontal? In your drawing here (which is nicely done by the way), the diamond is forming in a plane which is vertical.
EDIT: Hmmm! Actually you may be on the right track here, although it is tricky going in understanding this. Here's the full dialog on this point once again, together with a follow up Don question and extra comment βαθμιαίος found.
Quote:4.2 Questioner: Does the shape of the pyramid have an effect upon the initiation?
Ra: I am Ra. As we began the last session question, you have already recorded in your individual memory complex the first use of the shape having to do with the body complex initiation. The initiation of spirit was a more carefully designed type of initiation as regards the time/space ratios about which the entity to be initiated found itself.
If you will picture with me the side of the so-called pyramid shape and mentally imagine this triangle cut into four equal triangles, you will find the intersection of the triangle, which is at the first level on each of the four sides, forms a diamond in a plane which is horizontal. 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.
4.3 Questioner: Yes. As I understand it then, the initiate was to be on the center line of that pyramid, but at an altitude above the base as defined by the intersection of the four triangles made by dividing each side. Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Quote:...You stated, “You will find the intersection of the triangle which is at the first level on each of the four sides forms a diamond in a plane which is horizontal.” Can you tell me what you meant by the word, intersection?
Ra: I am Ra. Your mathematics and arithmetic have a paucity of configurative descriptions which we might use. Without intending to be obscure, we may note that the purpose of the shapes is to work with time/space portions of the mind/body/spirit complex. Therefore, the intersection is both space/time and time/space oriented and thus is expressed in three dimensional geometry by two intersections which, when projected in both time/space and space/time, form one point.
55.10 Questioner: I have calculated this point to be one-sixth of the height of the triangle that forms the side of the pyramid. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Your calculations are substantially correct and we are pleased at your perspicacity.
Now let me see if I am following your line of thought here correctly as I step through Ra's words. (my words in bold)
If you will picture with me the side of the so-called pyramid shape and mentally imagine this triangle cut into four equal triangles, you will find the intersection (the middle point as determined by cutting each edge of this triangle at the halfway point of each, then pointing to the middle) of the triangle, (THE triangle at first sounds like the entire pyramid face, but it's not) which is at the first level (the bottom "row" of triangles) on each of the four sides, (of the entire pyramid) forms a diamond in a plane which is horizontal. (Your shape is a four sided diamond shape that is drawn from the top most vertex of each new triangle, which then creates the horizontal diamond?)
I hope I'm understanding that right? However, this configuration situates the 'horizontal diamond' at 1/3rd the pyramid's height, not 1/6th.
