Ever since reading The Pyramid by Les Brown I have been on a mission to construct the perfect pyramid for the purposes of creating excellent health in the beings & plants which dwell in and around it.
You may remember two weeks ago I made a small wooden pyramid which was immediately popular with one of my cats (Rockstar).
It was my first attempt and looking at it now I can see the dimensions are not right at all. Such is the way when we don't go by the instruction manual (Les Brown's book) and try to do it on enthusiasm alone.
After that I made 25 miniature pyramids out of card to become an 'energiser'.
Again I did this on Les Brown's recommendation for the purposes of energising water or food placed above it. Will tell you more about my experiments to prove its effectiveness in a moment.
Two days ago I set about making a larger wooden pyramid, this time sticking to the EXACT proportions.
It may not look like a square but I can assure you it is. 94 x 94cms to be precise.
Don't know what this tool is called but I used it a lot.
All through the night I worked, driven like a crazy person to finish the job at any cost. Here you can see my children's desk moved outside so it can become my workshop table. Sorry children. Your father has been bitten by the pyramid bug.
Important when clamping to cover the wood with cardboard to prevent marking.
I am using a clamp from my lighting kit (must be at least 15 years old) and it is working perfectly.
On the kitchen floor I am taking advantage of the lines to get my measurements right.
Here I am checking the total height of the pyramid, which wants to be 60cms.
I should probably mention at this point that while I am using Les Brown's book for the basic suggestions (like to use wood which has been cut to the ratio of 1/4) I am also using this on-line pyramid calculator which tells me everything I need to know based on three bits of information: number of sides, length of base & angle of face.
In truth I am a bit confused about whether the Great Pyramid has a face angle of 51.5° or 51.8° as there appears to be some conflicting information online, but I went with 51.8 for this one in the end. The difference is marginal.
Here you can see how accurately I am cutting this wood. No messing around this time.
Using the back of the children's seat to hold the wood in place while I plain it.
Look carefully and you will see this is not quite flat. Needs a bit more plaining still.
Wasn't easy getting this done on my own. Piano stool finding a new purpose here.
Decided to add extra stability where I could by putting in a few staples. This made life much easier.
Esteban is doing his guitar practice in the background while I finalise my construction.
The last two pieces were a bit too long. This was expected because I cut all four sides to be the same length. Now I must trim the last two down by around half a centimetre before they will fit perfectly.
Felt like this was a big moment as I approached the final piece.
And that's it! The wood is cracking a bit which isn't perfect, but I did what i could. I see now why Brown recommends using a minimum of 2x8cms. Figured I could get away with 1x4cms but just like every time it turns out the experts know best!
Here it is finished on the bed. As alway it only took a moment for the cat to figure out where to sit. (The apex & corners are where the energy concentrates).
She genuinely seems to love it inside pyramids, no matter the exactness of the dimensions!
I put it to one side here in my office. That's pumpkin wine in the vessel on the right in case you are wondering.
My intention is to put this pyramid in the garden next and build a raised bed under it, in which I will grow potatoes.
I felt inspired when I saw this film a month ago in which they show larger than normal harvests as a result of wooden pyramid structure.
Cut flower experiment
Two weeks ago I took x3 cut flowers and placed them in identical glasses. One with water charged by copper pyramid. One with charged water from wooden pyramid and one as a control group.
Two weeks later I can confirm there is no noticeable difference in effect, as much as I want to tell you the opposite!
The reasons for this are currently unknown.
I also tested three marigolds, one glass on the energiser, one in another room and again there was no noticeable difference in the time it took for the flowers to close.
One thing I do want to mention however is that when I pulled up the metal plate of the energiser four of the pyramids stuck to it, despite the glue inside the pyramids being dry a long time ago. One of them is still stuck in this image.
I put them back into position and tried again, finding that a few of them did indeed stick a second time. I guess this is some kind of static energy which is created by the pyramids?
So why didn't it work? Could perhaps be because many of them, due to their slight imperfections, were not touching the metal plate above.
Or perhaps because some of them were beginning to open due to my construction techniques?
Undeterred I set about creating another experiment using three pieces of lettuce from the garden.
Here they are in my office ready to go into three positions. One under the copper pyramid, one on the energiser and one as a control group.
Under the watchful eye of our village church.
A wonderful sight I think you will agree. So full of divine ratios and sacred geometry.
Three days later it is immediately evident something different is happening to the copper pyramid leaf.
It appears to be drying faster than the others, more crispy and even different in sound when I drop it from a height on to the place.
It hits the plate with a dry tinny sound, while the other two (energiser & control group) are still moist and make more of a flopping sound when they are dropped onto their plates.
This actually fits with what Brown told us in his book about how pyramids are really effective at dehydrating food for long term storage. I wonder what will happen when I add water to this lettuce leaf and re-hydrate it? Will let you know in a few more days when I am done with this experiment. Feel like I should run this one longer before drawing any conclusions.
And so, what can I tell you about pyramids having spent a month playing with them?
Well, I have been meditating with the copper pyramid on my head and I must say I actually can feel the difference. I am not an experienced mediator as I don't do it regularly enough, so my mind wanders easily, but with the pyramid on my head it felt easier to maintain a thoughtless state. I probably won't be going out in public with it on my head however!
They are not simple to make. On the contrary, it is extremely difficult to replicate the exact dimensions of the great pyramid but I do however strongly recommend you give this a go. This large one took me two days in total. And by 'large' I mean 60cms height, which isn't really that large at all!
I intend now to make a bigger one of course, because just as it is with anything, I am getting better with experience.
If you have any questions please shoot them at me. I am highly motivated at the moment and feel very much as if I am here to help those who are willing to listen or interact with me.
Love & Light everyone ▲
