At the present state of the remains, it has proved impossible to calculate the slope with mathematical exactness. Petrie performed several tests on the North side, which is best preserved, and arrived at an average of 51° 50' 40. But in one test on the South side he obtained 51° 57' 30; this caused him to raise the question whether the slope was different on different faces. The reason why he raised this issue is that he believed that the height of the Pyramid was determined by the "1 factor," and he wanted to prove that the empirical data are in agreement with a slope 51° 51' 14'' that would be indicated by the exact value of 1.
Petrie, instead, was unduly impressed by the unevenness of the terrace and somehow took the aberrant single datum for the South side into account; he concludes: "On the whole, we probably cannot do better than take 51° 52' 2'' as the nearest approximation to the mean angles of the Pyramid, allowing some weight to the South side."
The Great Pyramid is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the last to remain intact. It took 20 years to build on the plane of Giza and was finished in around 2560 BCE. It is currently 139 meters (455 feet) tall and made out of limestone quarried in Tora, across the river from Giza, and granite from Aswan, located over 800 kilometers (500 miles) south.

“Yes, 117 Hz is the prime resonant frequency of the King’s Chamber sarcophagus. My acoustics research in the Great Pyramid was spread over two missions, 1996 and 1997. It was the ’96 mission when I conducted the main acoustics tests, using a Klark Teknik spectrum analyser, with a calibrated measurement microphone and separate Klark Teknik R.T. analyser, in both cases followed by calculations. My article "Egyptian Sonics" has the calculations and is available via our online store." [John Stuart Reid]
The Hall of Records
"...in building of the pyramids, the house of records as well as the chamber in which the records are built in stone - these were put together by song." [Cayce (5253-1)]
Q.: How was this particular Great Pyramid of Gizeh built?
A.: "By the use of those forces in nature as make for iron to swim. Stone floats in the air in the same manner. This will be discovered in '58." [Cayce (5748-6)]
"The ceremony [sealing of the tomb of records at Gizeh] was long; the clanging of the apex (of the Great Pyramid) by the gavel that was used in the sounding of the placing. Hence there has arisen from this ceremony many of those things that may be seen in the present; as the call to prayer, the church bell in the present, may be termed a descendant; the sounding of the trumpet as the call to arms, or that as revelry; the sound as of those that make for mourning, in the putting away of the body; the sounding as of ringing in the new year, the sounding as of the coming of the bridegroom; all have their inception from the sound that was made that kept the earth's record of the earth's building, as to that from the change." [Cayce (378-14)]
From Reading 195-14
28. Q. What was the name of the ruler during this entity's sojourn in Egypt?
A. Araaraart.
29. Q. In what capacity did this entity act regarding the building of the sphinx?
A. As the monuments were being rebuilt in the plains of that now called the pyramid of Gizeh, this entity builded, laid, the foundations; that is, superintended same, figured out the geometrical position of same in relation to those buildings as were put up of that connecting the sphinx. And the data concerning the same may be found in the vaults in the base of the sphinx... The excavations were made for the same in the plains above where the temple of Isis had stood during the deluge, occurring centuries before...The base of the sphinx was laid out in channels, and in the corner facing the Gizeh may be found the wording of how this was founded, giving the history of the first invading ruler and the ascension of Araaraart to that position."
9. Then began the laying out of the pyramid and the building of same, the using of those forces that made for the activity of bringing then from those very mountains where there had been those places of refuge that which had been begun to establish these, not only into that which would remain as the place for receiving that which had been offered in the Temple Beautiful on the various altars of the activities of an individual's innate self, but to be the place of initiation of the initiates that were to act in the capacity of leaders in the various activities through this period. This building, as we find, lasted for a period of what is termed now as one hundred years. It was formed according to that which had been worked out by Ra-Ta in the mount as related to the position of the various stars, that acted in the place about which this particular solar system circles in its activity, going towards what? That same name as to which the priest was banished - the constellation of Libra, or to Libya were these people sent. Is it not fitting, then, that these must return? as this priest may develop himself to be in that position, to be in the capacity of a LIBERATOR of the world in its relationships to individuals in those periods to come; for he must enter again at that period, or in 1998. [Cayce]
Atlantis and Pyramids and Death and the Body
Q: I have a question.
B: All right.
Q: In your perception, what is the purpose; who built the pyramids and what was their purpose?
B: There was a connection to the idea of what you call the Atlantis civilization, and also some intermixing of what you call extraterrestrial.
In this way the so-called purpose was in the recognition that in the focusing of the magnetic energy in that way, and the immersing of a being standing in that focal point, it would be utilized in what you call initiations, to allow there to be, let us say, an acceleration. Or the forming of an atmosphere that was conducive to the idea of what you would call astral travel, and the learning of the higher self.
There are initiation temples that are remnants - let us say, different, because much of the idea was somewhat lost - but they are somewhat akin to the same idea of the pyramids that were created in Atlantis. And that is where they originated upon your planet: in Atlantis. Does that answer your question?
Q: Yes. In the book known as the Ra Materials, which is represented as a transcript of channeling such as we're experiencing here.
B: Yes.
Q: Ra describes itself as a social memory complex;
B: All right.
Q: a sixth density consciousness, which took form on this planet and, among other things, built the pyramids as a single thought form. So what would their relationship be to Atlantis and so forth?
B: In this way, you will find that much of the extraterrestrial communication at that time was ongoing in the early stages of what you call the Atlantean civilization. You follow me?
Q: So was it that energy, the Ra energy, in Atlantis and (-- — ?)?
B: Yes. And other energies as well. But they were involved in that way, and formed what would be the extraterrestrial connection at that time that allowed there to be the sharing of that technology...
(Tape change)
- that is only, let us say, a remnant of the former level of the technology. Thank you!
Q: Thank you.
B: Sharing!
Q: You talk about the music - was it harmonics, was it vocal, or was it a musical instrument? Or what kind of a process was the sound made by, that moved the;
B: At that time there were many methodologies as well; and in the overall sense, it was mental. But in this way, there was the use of crystalline forms to allow there to be the vibration - as what you call electric current was passed through them and then simply focused, or aimed.
Q: So could that be done today?
B: Yes, in a sense, although not exactly within the same methodology. For your technology is slightly different.
Q: Is it being rediscovered at this time?
B: Yes. You will understand that your civilization has already, to some degree, achieved the idea of the suspension of the gravitational field by sonic vibration, on minute scales.
Q: Was it the... is there - well, there obviously is a connection - but was the reason that the king was buried in a pyramid... was it because it was his initiation;
B: Now, understand that in what you call to be the oldest pyramids, no one was buried.
Q: Oh. And that just came about later?
B: Yes. For it was what was remembered of the idea, and the assumption after the knowledge had been, in your terms, lost - that this individual would be able to be preserved and expanded, in that sense, in their connection from physical life to non-physical life. The idea of the passage of the soul, or what they called the ( --?) out of the body.
Q: Right.
B: But simply what was forgotten was that, in the early stages, this was done while the body was still alive. The passage from the living realm into the realm of the dead, so to speak. So it remained as a symbol of that idea, but the original intention was forgotten.
Q: So in Atlantean times people didn't really die?
B: Simply that in those pyramids they were able to have the out-of- body experience, and knew that that is what the pyramids were for - for the initiation or activation of that ability, in that sense.
Q: Okay. Does it matter what happens to the physical body after we die?
B: Does it matter?
Q: Well I mean, some... if we're disemboweled, or if a fluid is put into us, or if we're put into a pyramid, is it all relevant?
B: Do you mean to the consciousness that has left?
Q: Well, it seems like in certain religious philosophies they seem to think that there was some representation after the soul left.
B: In a sense, there is an energy essence - the consciousness of the world spirit - still acting through the matter of that form. But it is quite different from the focused consciousness that you recognize to be the personality within the body. And in that sense, to that focused consciousness that has gone on, it does not really much matter. Or at least if it matters at first, it will not after a while.
Although in this way many individuals then - and still do - well, so to speak, attend their own funerals. And in that sense, at that moment, what is being transacted may satisfy them according to recognizing that everyone allows themselves to find their place within their understanding of the event. But to the soul that has passed on, very quickly there comes the recognition that it is simply one more symbolic idea, and that is all.
Q: So we don't have to die.
B: Not in that sense. And you never really do.
Q: But I mean, I've been reading some information regarding ascending, and not…
B: Yes, in that sense. But also do not forget that that still incorporates the idea of existing within at least a quasi-physical reality; and that in your terms eventually you may choose to become non-physical altogether - even after living for thousands of years physically. You follow me?
Q: Yes.
B: As long as it serves your purpose to remain in that ascended physical light-body state, you will do so.
Q: Mhmm.
B: You can still, even after tens of thousands of years in that state, choose to become completely non-physical.
Q: So in becoming non-physical - the connection I'm trying to make is between taking the body with you, instead of leaving the body behind…
B: With you where?
Q: Wherever you go, ascending into the heavens.
B: That is the point. The idea simply is that "taking it with you" - where that can exist, is still only one portion of all of creation, much of which is non-physical in nature. Now, you will always exist as everything you have ever been, and so in that sense, you still have every body you have ever been. You follow me?
Q: Yes.
B: And from even the ascended point of view, that always will exist. But you can also change the focus of your consciousness to allow it to seem as if you no longer have a body, ascended or not. You follow me?
Q: Yes.
B: Therefore recognize that entities, or consciousnesses, that are not physical in your terms, simply can have the experience of an ascended body, so to speak, but do not have to.
Q: Mhmm.
B: It is all simply a matter of perspective, or point of view. There are always going to be all sorts of different ways of expressing your existence, and simply by definition, some of them are non-physical.
Q: Right.
B: Therefore, you are always going to be a physical body, a non- ascended form, an ascended light body, and a non-physical being - all at the same time. Now, if you choose to spend eons as an ascended physical body, you can do so - in terms of assuming that that is the only perspective through which you are expressing yourself.
Q: But in doing so... let's see, I'm not sure how to describe this. The information that I received is that the body... there is a way to turn the body to light energy.
B: All right.
Q: And I think that's what I'm trying to say.
B: All right.
Q: So the body doesn't necessarily have to die.
B: Thank you. It is more the idea not so much as what you recognize as death, but as phasing. And in this way, you can phase, because you are light energy right now.
Q: Mhmm.
B: You are made of light; you are living light right now. What you are speaking of is simply different phases of light. And so even when you are consciously a light body - and so to speak, ascended - when you make a decision - if you make a decision - to become another form of light body, it will not be experienced as death, but only as phasing. And it will seem that you are a light body. For light is what everything is made of. Light and love: it is the same thing. You follow me?
Q: Yes, I do.
B: It is simply the conscious recognition of what you are made of, and existing in that state. Is that clearer?
Q: Yes, it is. Thank you.
B: The universe is made of love; existence is unconditional love; love is the substance of which you are made. Light, love: same thing.
Q: Do we have... is it within our present lifetime to... is it available to some, or many of us, for our physical forms as they are now, to live several hundred years?
B: Yes! Although it will not be exactly as they are now; they will be more fourth density. But basically, yes.
Q: I mean, they are not going to turn into elephants or giraffes or…
B: Oh, no, no, no, no.
Q: They're going to kind of look like what they look like now.
B: Yes, yes, yes.
Q: Right. What is the fourth density? I heard you speaking about that tonight and I…
B: Well, simply the idea of the energy state of existence in which you are more aware of more of yourself, and have the opportunity to look through the illusions that, in third density, are taken as the real reality. Living in the moment.
Q: I see. Okay. Thank you.
B: Thank you. Sharing!
Q: Okay, some more questions on sound.
B: All right.
Q: One is that I have heard that there's enough energy within this room, from a sound point of view, to power the whole of Los Angeles. In other words, there is an enormous amount of energy available.
B: There is enough energy in one particle of existence to do that.
Q: And does that relate to sound?
B: Everything is vibration - everything. And therefore, in a sense, sound.
Q: Okay. Is the technology available in our present time to convert that energy into use in our civilization?
B: Let us say, the technology is available; the understanding is not yet there. You follow me?
Q: Yes. Would it be advantageous to the process of the blending, for this understanding to become more available, and so make energy available to;
B: Of course. And all you have to do is follow your imagination, and explore that idea in whatever way you wish to. Then you will be making that difference by being that reality. You follow me?
Q: Yes. Thank you.
B: Thank you! Sharing!

"The pyramids exist as other than physical matter, but it is only as physical matter that you perceive them. There are several important issues connected with the pyramids that are not as yet understood. The symbols upon them often were meant to be sounded, the sound setting up reverberations. Some of these would automatically open up many doors, leading to as yet undiscovered secrets - but only for those who understood the use of sound." [604th Session January 12, 1972 9:19 p.m. Wednesday]
"In all probability, the Great Pyramid was the first temple of the Mysteries—the first structure erected as a repository for those secret truths which are the certain foundation of all modern arts and sciences. The Great Pyramid, says the secret book, is the perfect emblem of the Microcosm, or man, and the Microcosm is the inversion of the Macrocosm. The Macrocosm is the universe without, consisting of unnumbered stars and planets encircled by the mighty egg of cosmic space. All that is in the Macrocosm is to be found in miniature in the Microcosm. As man is 'the image of God,' so the Great Pyramid is the image of the universe. And what is more, it is scientifically correct as an image of the universe.
Many authors have treated of the physical marvels of the Great Pyramid, but the modern world is still so ignorant of ancient superphysics that it fails to grasp the subtle import of primitive symbolism and religion. We know that such structures as the Great Pyramid, the Cretan Labyrinth, and the Delphian Oracle were erected to conceal and yet perpetuate certain definite scientific and philosophic theorems. The policy of the ancient world was concealment. Knowledge was never revealed except through parables and allegories; facts were never directly expressed—they were hinted at. Planets were personified as gods and goddesses; the sun was a shining-faced man with flowing golden locks; the earth was the Great Mother, her true nature concealed under veils and robes that only the illumined might remove; elements were personified; the universe was an egg; force was a dragon; wisdom was a serpent; evil was a grotesque image—part crocodile, part hog; the Absolute was a globe; the threefold creative power was a triangle, and the fourfold universe of material substance was a square; or, again, spirit was a point, manifestation was a line, intelligence was a surface, and substance was a solid.
Thus it is evident that symbolism was the universal language of the ancients. We may laugh at their curious myths and accuse them of idolatry and ignorance, but we are the ones that are ignorant and superficial when we assume that the great minds of antiquity—the founders of the arts and sciences and the patrons of learning—were ignorant of the true state and nature of Divinity and humanity.
Somewhere in the dim forgotten ages, primitive man—still responsive to the subtle influences of Nature and still without the separating power of individual thought—carved in stone or preserved as tradition and legend a certain rudimentary knowledge. He may have secured this knowledge by a process of natural receptivity or from some previous race that inhabited this earth before the coming of present humanity." — "The Phoenix. An illustrated review of occultism and philosophy" by Hall, Manly Palmer]
Manly Palmer Hall
"The Egyptian culture with which we are conversant is only the exoteric part revealed to the uneducated multitudes of the ancient empire. That finer culture—the real wisdom of the Egyptians—was preserved for the elect, and our world is far too gross and materialistic to comprehend the subtleties of Egyptian esotericism. Therefore, we grope blindly amidst images and emblems which, finding no meaning for them, we pronounce meaningless!
According to the secret teachings, the Great Pyramid was the tomb of Osiris, the black god of the Nile. Osiris represents a certain phase of solar energy, and therefore his house, or tomb, is emblematic of the universe within which he is entombed and upon the cross of which he is crucified. Thus, the Great Pyramid is not a lighthouse, an observatory, or a tomb, but a temple.
W. Marsham Adams calls it "the House of the Hidden Places," and such indeed it was, for it represented the inner sanctuary of Egyptian wisdom—or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, pre-Egyptian wisdom. Hermes was the Egyptian god of wisdom and letters, the Divine Illuminator, worshipped through the planet Mercury, and ancient references to the effect that the Pyramid was the House of Hermes emphasize anew the fact that it was in reality the Supreme Temple of the Invisible and Supreme Deity. In all probability, the Great Pyramid was the first temple of the Mysteries—the first structure erected as a repository for those secret truths which are the certain foundation of all modern arts and sciences.
The Great Pyramid, says the secret book, is the perfect emblem of the Microcosm or man, and the Macrocosm is the version of the Macrocosm. The Macrocosm is the universe without, consisting of unnumbered stars and planets encircled by the mighty egg of cosmic space. All that is in the Macrocosm is to be found in miniature in the Microcosm. As man is "the image of God," so the Great Pyramid is the image of the universe. And what is more — it is scientifically correct as an image of the universe.

Somewhere are the dim forgotten ages primitive man—still responsive to the subtle influences of Nature and still without the separating power of individual thought—carved in stone or preserved as tradition and legend a certain rudimentary knowledge. He may have secured this knowledge by a process of natural receptivity or from some previous race that inhabited this earth before the coming of present humanity. After the lapse of ages, this unknown people became the fabled gods who walked the earth and talked with men in the first days of his existence.
Many of the Platonists believed that existence was eternal; that the mysteries never changed but were concealed and would never be dissolved; that man was always been; and that over the face of them swept periodic waves of force and power. While modern science refutes the theory and produces evidence that universes come into being and go out of existence, still the world is very old and humanity is very young. No one knows who our progenitors were. Let it may be true that man rose up from the muck and mire of the prehistoric fens—that first he appeared as mosses and lichens, leaving no record on the molten surfaces of the Azoic rocks. But the true origin of life is spiritual not physical—and it is also quite certain that side by side with the growing forms of men and beasts there has advanced a mysterious and secret culture, whose outward expression we recognize as religion, philosophy, science, and ethics, and in its innermost sense as knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
Man has never been without knowledge of his origin and the purpose of his existence. Those divine powers who regulate the destiny of creation—whose manifest works bear witness to their reality but whose form no man has seen—have always had their covenant with men; they have always been represented among humanity by certain sages and prophets."
