HEART SHAPED LIKE A PYRAMID? LEFT CHAMBER NOURISHED BY PNEUMA - A PURE AND LUMINOUS SUBSTANCE?

Pneuma = prana.

I´m so happy these days though. Well, actually since yesterday. I do believe my IQ fell a few points these past weeks - well, more than a few points. I just can´t figure out the most basic problems anymore. I would feel embarrassed, but it happens all the time. I´ve just learned to grin sheepishly.

I do believe I´ve figured out the cave thing. (The Dark Night of the Soul) Happened yesterday. I feel I´ve made it out of the cave. It actually is the simplest thing in the world, but it was quite a riddle figuring it out. Been feeling pretty blissful since then.

Now if only my brain would start working properly or my heart would take over that function.

Hi Anonymer! Glad you made it out of the cave. It´s no fun in there, in the dark, alone. Welcome back!

RE: "Welcome back!"

Thanks.

No it definitely is no fun. No fun at all.

Mending Broken Hearts - AorTech
Australian scientists are helping to mend broken hearts. Elast-Eon™, a revolutionary new material for a synthetic heart valve and other medical implants, was developed by the Cooperative Research Centre for Cardiac Technology and CSIRO.

All specimens exhibited excellent preservation of shell structure and showed little evidence of abrasion or long exposure on the sea floor (e.g., encrustation by epibionts on the inner surface), although the corer had damaged some shells. Two specimens (SP1 and PB5) had some pigmentation preserved (Figure 3). Five specimens were obtained as single valves only; the other (SP1 from the Inner Silver Pit) was found articulated and in life position (i.e., left valve uppermost), implying rapid post-mortem burial or death in conjunction with sediment deposition.

makes perfect sense to me
the heart
being nourished by
"the pure and luminous substance."

Anonymer Held it sounds like you have been going through a tough time, glad to see your are feeling better..

me i think i´m stuck on some island with my abacus

Her Majesty -

Thanks.

Come tax time I could use that abacus.

LinkPunk and everyone -

Okay. Here´s one link showing the heart.

[link to info.med.yale.edu]

And here´s a diagram of the King´s chamber.

[link to www.hunkler.com]

You see how ascending passage seems to be positioned correctly with the lower chambers of the heart.

Now this pit ... is that where this spirit descends? Must it rise up the ascending staircase?

Or is it a case of too much cheese before bedtime?

we are all locked up in the kings chamber

Gilded ib, heart amulet, Dyn.18

"This gilded wood ib (heart) amulet was one of the most potent of all amulets.

“To the Egyptians, the heart was the most essential of organs, not because it pumped blood around the body --it is unclear that they understood this function--but because they believed it was the seat of intelligence, the originator of all feelings and actions, and the storehouse of memory. This is why it was the heart which was weighed in the balance in the underworld to ascertain whether its owner was worthy to enter the Egyptian paradise… Alone among the internal organs removed from the corpse during mummification, the heart was left in place within the body cavity; should it be accidentally removed, it was returned and stitched into place” (Andrews 1994:72)."

I do remember that about the weighing of the heart. So if this King takes the throne does it weigh something? I remember something about someone attempting to weigh the soul or spirit. But look at this amulet. It´s got a little crown on it like a king.

Found something on the Yoruba?!!!! Guess this concept was alive and well in Africa as well.

[link to www.scholars.nus.edu.sg]

"The Yoruba conception of human nature divides it into two parts: the material and the immaterial. The material body, the portion that acts and reacts to physical environment, consists of the Ara, or "physical body," the Ojiji, or "shadow," and the Iye, or "mind". The imperishable, immaterial aspects, include the Oka(n), or "heart" and the Emi(n), or "spirit". Of all the aspects of man, the Emi(n) is seen as "the seat of life" because it is the part of the individual person man closest to the gods. The highest part of humanity uses both the okan (heart) and the ara (body). The Emi(n)´s fate is determine by the actions of the person "whilst in the flesh" (J. Olumide Lucas, The Religion of the Yorubas, London, A. Brown & Sons, 1948).

The Yoruba believe that personality does not consist of separate and opposing selves. In fact, the "unity of man´s personality is an essential element in the Yoruba conception of man" (Lucas, Religion of the Yorubas, p. 251). All of one´s selves unify and expresses themselves through the body (ara) and though the agency of the heart-soul (okan)."

do you know what a seventh is

the letters alpha and omega are also commonly found attached to the chi-rho symbol...

this point of rest or creation is the grail...the rock of living waters, the philosopher´s stone, etc...

the three intersecting lines create the six directions which emanate infinitely outward...but they all meet and originate at the center point...the 7th point...the place of rest, of balance...(god created the universe in 6 days...on the 7th, he rested...)


The initial task in order to prove out our thesis is to establish the location of the two chambers, that is, the Kings’ chamber and Queens’ chamber.

The Apex of the roof of the Queen’s Chamber (upper outside edge).
The Apex of the roof of the King’s Chamber (the upper outside edge of the Apex found above the fifth tier).
The next two angles are taken from the centre point of the outside casing stone where it rests on the platform, once again the platform is utilised as being our 0-degree point. The angle is then calculated, as previously used, to the Apex of the Queen’s Chamber roof. We find this angle to equal 13.57143 degrees, thus calculating the measurement once again of 1.42857 degrees (15-13.57143=1.42857). It is also important to note that the projected angle of 13.57143 degrees crosses at the exact point where the third girdle stone (located in the ascending passage way) outside edge intersects with the passage way ceiling.
The next stage is to calculate the angle of the elevation to the Apex of the King’s Chamber from the centre point of the outside casing stone. It is concluded that this angle is a very precise 28.57143 degrees. (Once again we find 30-28.57143=1.42857 degrees of deviation). We also note that this projected angle intersects at the precise spot where he "scored line" intersects with the floor in the descending passageway.
The entranceway is offset from due North 1.42857 degrees.
From the corner stone as measured from the outside edge of the casing stone between the north East to the North West corner stones, we find the mid point of the centre of the pyramid is offset 1.42857 degrees.

This angle is found to be precisely 50 degrees (Using our baseline as 0 degrees). Interestingly enough we find that a line drawn out in the opposite direction (using the baseline as 0 degrees reference point) at 51.42857 degrees not only crosses over the right paw of the sphinx but it crosses over the exact point we previously described as the entrance point to the ‘Hall of Records’.

I don´t know about Aristotle. Think Plato may well be right.

[link to www.ewtn.com]

"The Platonic doctrine tended to an
extreme Transcendentalism. Soul and body are distinct orders of
reality, and bodily existence involves a kind of violence to the
higher part of our composite nature. The body is the "prison", the
"tomb", or even, as some later Platonists expressed it, the "hell"
of the soul. In Aristotle this error is avoided. His definition of
the soul as "the first entelechy of a physical organized body
potentially possessing life" emphasizes the closeness of the union
of soul and body. The difficulty in his theory is to determine
what degree of distinctness or separateness from the matter of the
body is to be conceded to the human soul. He fully recognizes the
spiritual element in thought and describes the "active intellect"
(nous poetikos) as "separate and impassible", but the precise
relation of this active intellect to the individual mind is a
hopelessly obscure question in Aristotle´s psychology. (See
INTELLECT; MIND.)"

Then there´s this from the same link:

"According to
this, man, perfect man (teleios) consists of three parts: body,
soul, spirit (soma, psyche, pneuma). Body and soul come by natural
generation; spirit is given to the regenerate Christian alone.
Thus, the "newness of life", of which St. Paul speaks, was
conceived by some as a superadded entity, a kind of oversoul
sublimating the "natural man" into a higher species. This doctrine
was variously distorted in the different Gnostic systems. The
Gnostics divided man into three classes:

* pneumatici or spiritual,

* psychici or animal,

* choici or earthy.

To each class they ascribed a different origin and destiny. The
spiritual were of the seed of Achemoth, and were destined to
return in time whence they had sprung -- namely, into the pleroma.
Even in this life they are exempted from the possibility of a fall
from their high calling; they therefore stand in no need of good
works, and have nothing to fear from the contaminations of the
world and the flesh. This class consists of course of the Gnostics
themselves. The psychici are in a lower position: they have
capacities for spiritual life which they must cultivate by good
works. They stand in a middle place, and may either rise to the
spiritual or sink to the hylic level. In this category stands the
Christian Church at large. Lastly, the earthy souls are a mere
material emanation, destined to perish: the matter of which they
are composed being incapable of salvation (me gar einai ten hylen
dektiken soterias). This class contains the multitudes of the
merely natural man.


Well, I guess that´s it then.
