Look like jewels to me, Don, the last image a diamond
Very appropriate, because, aside from the geometry, Snefru's Red Pyramid is known as "The Gleaming Pyramid of the South", and his name means "Bringer of Beauty". According to Isha de Lubicz, "senef"=blood, and J.D. Degreef translates senef "a drop of blood" and "he shines". As in your gemometry, good slip, I think the Red and Bent "belong" together, and the designations can be applied to both.
Mihos wrote some years ago that "Snefru created his wonderful temple as a symbol". but I forgot which one he meant.
I think it was Meidum Pyramid, "de stabiele piramide" = the stable pyramid. An inscription in it reads:
"I came to see the beautiful temple of King Snefru. I found it as though heaven were withing, and the sun shining in it, may heaven rain fresh myrrh, may it drip incense on the roof of the temple of King Snefru."
I neglected to note the source, probably because I was so excited thinking: what else could that be but the temple human body, in which the sun shines and the blood gleams, and myrrh and in-cense dripping from heaven on our head/roof.
The navel as "the City of Gems", another center of the world as thaught in occult anatomy and connected with the omphalos of Delphi, comes in here also. Furthermore, Madam B writes:
"The ancients (Brahmans) placed the astral soul of man - or his self-consciousness, in the pit of the stomach...Hear , O sons of the gods (spirits) one who speaks through his navel (nabha) for he hails you in your dwellings."
This again refers to our body temple and solar plexus.
"...the navel was regarded as "the circle of the sun," the seat of internal divine light. - Among the modern Parsis, remarks a translater of the
Rig-vedas, there exists a believ up to the present day that their adepts have a flame in their navel, which enlightens to them all darkkness and discloses the spiritual world, as well as all thing unseen, or at a distance. They call it the lamp of the
Deshtur, or high priest; the light of the Diknutsa (the initiate), and otherwise designate it by many other names."
Hear this Don Barone and keep giggling. Madam speaks "of the world of eternal truths that "lies within the world of transient delusions and unrealities," and conveys the words of Professor Draper:
"That world is not to be discovered through the vain traditions that have brought down to us the opinion of men who lived in the morning of civilization, not in the
dreams of the mystics who thought that they were inspired. It is to be discovered by the investigation of
geometry, and
by the practical interrogations of nature.""Precisely", adds Madam, "The issue could not be better stated. This eloquent writer tells us a profound truth. He does not, however, tell us
the whole truth, because he does not know it. He has not described the nature or extent of the knowledge imparted in the Mysteries. NO SUBSEQUENT PEOPLE HAS EVER BEEN SO PROFICIENT IN GEOMETRY AS THE BUILDERS OF THE PYRAMIDS (my emphasis) and other Titanic monuments, antedeluvian or postdeluvian. On the other hand, none has ever equalled them in the practical interrogation of nature."
My friend Don, this should make you shout for joy, not just giggle. If you think that Madam cannot be trusted, read on:
"As to practical results to be optained by "the investigation of geometry," very fortunately for students who are coming upon the stage of action, (she anticipated you
) we are no longer forced to content ourselves with mere conjecturees. In our own times, the American, Mr. George H. Felt, of New York, who, if he continues as he has began, may one day be recognized as the greatest geometer of the age, has been enabled, by the sole help of the premises established by the ancient Egyptians, to arrive at results which we will give in his own language.
"Firstly, says Mr. Felt, "the fundamental diagram to which all science of elementary geometry, both plain and solid, is referable ; to produce arithmetical systems of proportion in a geometrical manner; to identify these figures with all the remains of architecture and sculpture, in all which it had been followed in a marvelous exact manner; to determine that the Egyptians had used it as a basis of all their astronomical calculations, on which their religious symbolism was almost entirely founded, to find its traces among all the remnants of art and architecture of the Greeks; to discover its traces so strongly among the Jewish sacred books, as to prove conclusively that it was founded thereon; to find that the whole system had been discovered by the Egyptians after research of tens of thousands of years into the laws of nature, and that it may be truly called the science of the Universe.
"Further it enabled him", says Madam, "to determine with precision problems in physiology heretofore only surmised, to first develope such Masonic philosophy . . . ."
"Amazing these Pyramid builders"
"And when I'm ready I will find this on the Giza Plateau"
