Crystals & Pyramids
Harmony
makes small things grow. Lack of it makes great things
decay.
Sallust (c. 86-34 B.C., Roman historian & politician)
Many
books have been written on the subject of crystals and their
properties, but the underlying principles of why crystals
really are Stones of Power are often completely
neglected. It may be a mystery, but it's no secret!
Let's take a
look at the kind of knowledge that was previously the
exclusive domain of the adepts and initiates of the
mystery schools. |
Crystalline
structures are defined by their regular shape. A crude example
would be that the difference between a pile of sand (also mostly
quartz) and a quartz crystal, is that in the crystal the silicon
and oxygen molecules are arranged in a mathematically precise,
rigid structure. This geometric precision and harmony has been
investigated and utilised by many cultures, most famously, the ancient Egyptians.
The seventh
wonder of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid at Giza is a
triumph of engineering that cannot be repeated with any number
of computer-aided graphics or massive machinery. Max Toth and
Greg Nielsen, in Pyramid Power say, "There is no doubt
that every civilisation which built pyramids did so with the use
of highly advanced mathematical and astronomical calculations
and a seemingly impossible mastery of the skill of stone
masonry. In civilisations separated not only by thousands of
miles but also by thousands of years, stones weighing many tons
were hoisted into position with infinite precision. So great was
the engineering agility and skill required to manoeuvre the huge
granite blocks into place that how it was accomplished still
remains a mystery.”
The most
extraordinary feat of engineering was that of the cutting and placement of the
highly polished limestone casing stones that covered the entire
pyramid. The finished pyramid contained approximately 115,000 of
these stones, each weighing ten tons or more. These stones were
dressed on all six of their sides, not just the side exposed to
the visible surface, to tolerances of .01 inch. They are set
together so closely that a thin razor blade cannot be inserted
between the stones. Egyptologist Petrie
expressed his astonishment of this feat.

Merely
to place such stones in exact contact would be careful
work, but to do so with cement in the joint seems almost
impossible; it is to be compared to the finest opticians'
work on the scale of acres. |
|
 |
The purpose of all
this precision and unquantifiable amount of work was to one end,
to incorporate a ratio. No more, no less.
What effect
this ratio has on the body, mind and consciousness is another vast
subject, but the
fact remains..... every angle and measurement the Great Pyramid
reflects the mathematical proportion that has been contemplated
and utilised by seers for thousands of years
..... phi, Ф, the
Divine Proportion, 1.618.

Man, know
thyself in true proportion.
The Oracle of Delphi.
Man is
all symmetry, full of proportions,
one limb to another, and all to all the world besides.
Each part may call the farthest brother,
for head with foot hath private amity,
and both with moons and tides.
George Herbert (1593-1633, English priest & poet)

phi, Ф |

The Great Pyramids height is the square root of the golden section (1,272) and
its slant is the golden section (1.618) if the base is
considered 1. The Kings Chambers is 10.46 meters East to West,
5.23 meters North to South and 5.81 meters high, thus perfectly
reflects phi.

But what is
it?
The Divine
Proportion is
where
the ratio of the whole line (A)
to the large
segment
(B) is
the same as
the ratio of the large
segment
(B)
to the
small
segment
(C)..
In
other words, A is to B as B is to C.
This Divine
Proportion of the Great Pyramid and a dolphin is clearly seen in this diagram. |

At this point, many of you
may be wondering what all this has to do with those pretty little
quartz crystals?
The tips of all quartz
crystals are angled exactly like the Great Pyramid - 360/7
or 5l.43 degrees. |
|
Here we see a
quartz crystal (this one is double terminated, but any
will do), with the Great Pyramid placed at its tip. This
clearly shows that the angle of incline on both structures
is the same Golden Proportion when the value for the base
is taken as one.
In future
articles, I hope to scratch the surface of the many
implications this has in the understanding and use of
crystals. The profound qualities and geometric beauty
possessed by the Great Pyramid are at least partially
present in the tiniest and most humble quartz crystal.

The old crystal radios showed
the ability of quartz to receive and transmit energy, in this
case radio waves. This has been utilised by mystics and the
electronics industry alike.
Although much research remains to
be done in the areas of archaeology, mathematics and earth
sciences, much evidence now exists that appears to indicate that
the Great Pyramid was a monumental device for gathering,
amplifying, and focusing a transformative energy field. What is
known is that this energy field acts in powerful ways. A dead
mouse is dehydrated and preserved perfectly, even in high
humidity. The crystalline structured edge of the razorblade is
re-aligned to give a sharp edge and the adept is re-aligned with
Divine order.
