The Law of One and Kastrup's Idealism

[palmsprings54]

I love BK's books. I noticed they mirror near perfectly the philosophy given by aliens (supposedly) in the channelled text, the Law of One:

You are not part of a material universe. You are part of a thought. You are dancing in a ballroom in which there is no material. You are dancing thoughts. You move your body, your mind, and your spirit in somewhat eccentric patterns for you have not completely grasped the concept that you are part of the original thought.

Perhaps because they just took ancient, well-known, and easily accessible Eastern spiritual philosophy which emphasized the Unity of consciousness and the Maya of separated forms and dressed it up as 'channeled' wisdom from aliens? That's what it looks like to me.

I am Ra, the dodgy alter of David Wilcock.

So that Ra guy (as he said himself on another page) convinced the pharaohs to build pyramids for the purpose of doing some "energy channeling" or whatever, and because of that thousands of slaves had to work and suffer for decades in unthinkable heat, dust and living conditions. That makes me doubt about the guy's spiritual maturity.

So there are some complicated historical events and some assumptions here. There are many pyramids in Egypt. If the text is credible, not all of them were built by slaves. I don't think Ra said anything about convincing Pharaohs to build pyramids - they built them using thought, according to the text.

a papyrus found by the Red Sea explained precisely how the massive blocks were made easier to move using water. The papyri, found at Wadi al-Jarf informed that the limestone “used in the casing is from a quarry located at Turah, near modern-day Cairo,” and was shipped to Giza by boat over 4 days along the Nile River then along a series of canals. And most of the stones used to build Khufu's pyramid were quarried from a "horseshoe-shaped quarry located just south of the pyramid," said Mark Lehner who published his finds back in 1985 in the journal Mitteilungen des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts.

Talking of what happened to the blocks once they were at the building site, a team of physicists from the University of Amsterdam found in a study published in the journal Physical Review Letters in 2004, that “Egyptians pushed and pulled large wooden sledges and that sand in front of the sledge was likely dampened with water , reducing friction, making it easier to move.” And this act of pouring “water in-front of sledges” was so central to the building process that it is depicted many times in ancient Egyptian artwork.

Yes it would be a bit strange for them to build the pyramids with thought, and then build villages for construction workers/slaves to live in, leave around remnants of the tools, ramps used for construction, write graffiti with the names of the working teams inside the pyramids etc

It’s a bit like god creating the universe in 6 literal 24hr earth days, and then adding in millions of years worth of sedimentary layers, ancient inland sea beds, shellfish fossils at the tops of mountain etc...

There are over 100 pyramids in Egypt. Probably the vast majority of them were built using the methods you are describing.

There are plenty of mysteries about ancient Egypt still, especially the early periods which go into prehistory. A civilisation from so long ago that lasted thousands of years means there are many things we just don’t know yet. Even with the construction of pyramids, the skills developed fairly quickly over a few generations, and then generally declined. But we also do have huge amounts of information, from letters written by normal people to treaties and religious texts, as well as archeological evidence. You will find thousands of theories from people that just don’t take any of this into account, and most if it is complete BS. There is some which is more plausible but not generally accepted by egyptologists because there is no evidence for it, including the age of the sphinx, the layout of the Giza pyramids, who the Hyksos were etc.

So yes there are likely to be new and profound discoveries about ancient Egypt over time, and there is lots we will never know. But you should be very suspicious of 99% of the stuff written by people who aren’t basing it on what we do know.
