The L/L Meditation Pyramid

[Tenet Nosce]

The thing that confuses me (for the small energising pyramid for under pillow) is this:

"The total of the four base sides is 1.16 times the height"

That creates a very - very - sharp/pointed pyramid. I wonder if there was an error in transmission.

I think Ra was ignoring Don's misunderstanding and giving the proportion as originally described. Take half a base side, multiply by 1.16 and that's the height.

Here is a cross-section of a pyramid with those proportions:

The apex angle of this one turned out to be 45 degrees.

But zenmaster... I am confused by your math.

"The total of the four base sides is 1.16 times the height"

This yields the equation 1.16(H) = 4(B) or (H) ~ 3.448(B)

"Take half a base side, multiply by 1.16 and that's the height."

This yields the equation (H) = 1.16(0.5)(B) or (H) = 0.58(B)

Here's what I turned up in a search:

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.

What is a metaphor?

Ra's comment related to the "..balanced configuration about this central point."...and "The position or balanced position about a group.." I just think Ra often spoke with double meaning, and I was simply speculating. Perhaps you're right about the King's Chamber..in fact, it does make the most sense. No doubt Ra is saying a pyramid is helpful for meditation, but I think in 57.14 for instance, they are speaking generally.

Ahh... ok I see what you were referring to now.

Incidentally... this reminds me of something I have previously speculated about... what if there were constructed some sort of gigantic pyramid shape around the earth itself... with the earth at the "Queen's Chamber" position?? Maybe that's how they did the "quarantine". But then again maybe not... wouldn't we all be healed by now?!
