Crystals and Pyramids
Many books have been written on the subject of crystals and their properties, but the underlying reasons why crystals really are 'Stones of Power' are often 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 mystery schools.
Crystalline structures are defined by their regular shape. A crude example is that the difference between a pile of sand (also silicon) and a quartz crystal is that, in the crystal, the silicon and oxygen molecules are arranged in a mathematically precise structure. This geometric precision and harmony have 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 despite our machines and technology.
There is no doubt that every civilisation that built pyramids did so through highly advanced mathematical and astronomical calculations and a seemingly impossible mastery 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. Max Toth and Greg Nielsen, Pyramid Power
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.
Phi, The Golden Ratio
The Great Pyramids' height is the square root of the golden ratio (1,272), and its slant is the golden ratio (1.618) if the base is considered 1. The King's Chamber is 10.46 meters East to West, 5.23 meters North to South and 5.81 meters high, thus perfectly reflects phi.
At this point, many of you may be wondering what all this has to do with crystals?
The profound qualities and geometric beauty possessed by the Great Pyramid are present in each and every quartz crystal. The tips of all quartz crystals are angled exactly like the Great Pyramid - 360/7 or 5l.43 degrees. This fact about every single quartz crystal is the underlying power and cause of the perfect healing frequency many of us can feel.
What effect this frequency has on the body, mind and emotions is a vast subject, but the fact remains... every angle and measurement of the Great Pyramid reflects the Golden Ratio, contemplated and utilised by seers for thousands of years, and this same perfection exists in every quartz crystal.
Quotes
Geometry has two great treasures: one is the Theorem of Pythagoras; the other, the division of a line into extreme and mean ratio. The first we may compare to a measure of gold; the second we may name a precious jewel. Johannes Kepler
Man is all symmetry, full of proportions, each limb to another, and all yo 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 and poet)
Man, know thyself in true proportion. The Oracle of Delphi
Like God, the Divine Proportion is always similar to itself. Luca Pacioli
