Cast in Stone or bent in Grass.. Monuments and messages

[Bob]

we often wonder about greatness, or a significance to us, what moves us.. things that we wish to share with another..

artist carving in stone,

a temporary message, in either ice or weed

a few images to see expression behind a message only at first in the mind

"it's just a transient tho..

-- as long as the viewer is willing to perceive and ponder.."

The "Butterfly Crop Circle" - made by man, in a grass field, on 8th August, 2009, this massive formation (530 meters x 450 meters) appeared near the southern Dutch town called Goes.

The creators of this fine formation produced a video documenting its creation. They have been responsible for some fantastic and huge formations and the whisper is they have something equally as amazing for this coming season. So next time you see a formation and think that no human could have created that, think back to this video and consider what is exactly possible. ref: http://circularstateofmind.wordpress.com/

Set in stone to me , would indicate the person or event of the time was VERY important in the grand scheme of earth history ... like the pyramids , something in stone would last forever , like the emerald tabelts of thoth , time has very little effect on these artifacts ... What's mind blowing , the ancients did things that today we still cannot duplicate ...

You guys might like the book "A Miracle in Stone" (Giza?) (written over 100 years ago!) -- talks about the amazingness of the pyramids from a better educated perspective than mine!

Joseph A Seiss, in his The Great Pyramid, a Miracle in Stone, says of one John Taylor:

"Canvassing the whole problem in light of history, religion, and science, he came to some very surprising conclusions involving an altogether new departure in Pyramid investigations, and enunciating a number of facts with regard to the mathematical features of the Great Pyramid, which once were ridiculed, but are now generally admitted as true. In 1859 he published a volume, in which he proposed to recover 'a lost leaf in the world's history,' and gave his processes and the results. Without having seen the Great Pyramid, but on the basis of facts recorded by others, he gave it as his theory and conviction that the real architects of this ediface were not Egyptians, but those of quite another faith and branch of the human family, who, by an impulse and commission from heaven, and by the special aid of the Most High, induced and superintended the erection of the mighty structure, as a memorial for times long after, to serve as a witness of inspiration, and of the truth, and purposes of God, over against the falsities and corruptions of a degenerate and ever degenerating world. In other words he claimed to find, in the shape, arrangements, measures, and various indications of the Great Pyramid, an intellectuality and numerical knowledge of grand cosmological phenomena of earth and heaven, which neither Egypt nor any of the nations possessed, or could even understand, from a thousand years ago, back to the origins of the nations. (p.33)...

Herodotus says that this and other pyramids were built by forced labor. (Perhaps he was alluding to the story of the Exodus). So we wonder if those who superintended the building of them were the original adepts in these sciences, or a later amalgam of architects, masons, and other well-educated and influential members of the National Lodge, who only possessed some residual knowledge of these things, as do the members of the modern Masonic Temple in our time. We wonder if it was just their minds that were connected to the "esoteric" work at hand (for higher reasons that they no longer fully understood), while their hearts were connected to that of Pharaoh's, and all the grandiose ideas and the political intrigues of their times. Nevertheless...

From this also (the Pyramid) would seem to have its name. Though different authors have sought to derive this word from the Greek, Arabic, and other sources, the evidence is rather that it came directly from the builders of the ediface, and was meant to describe it in the common language then used in the country. The nearest to that language is Coptic. And in Coptic 'pyr' means 'division,' the same as 'peres' in Daniel's interpretation of the handwriting on the wall; and 'met' means 'Ten.' Chevalier Bunsen without thought of combining them for the dirivation of the word Pyramid, gives these words separately...And putting them together--Pyr-Met--we have the name given to this structure. And that name in the language of the ancient Egyptians means The Division of Ten. (Thus the Division of the Great Mandala of the Tree of Life--East and West). (p.46)

Accordingly a system of FIVENESS runs through the Great Pyramid. The intense Fiveness could not have been accidental, and likewise corresponds with the Nature of God, both in nature and revelation. Note the Fiveness of termination to each limb on the Human Body, the Five senses, and the Five books of Moses...And at High Noon the Sun shines on all Five of its corners. (pp. 47-49).

There is still a more distinct reference to the Great Pyramid in the Book of Job, 'Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up thy loins like a man, for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I layed the Foundations of the earth? Declare if thou knowest? Or who hath laid the measures, or who hath stretched a line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations fastened...or who hath layed the cornerstone thereof, when the Morning Stars sang together?'" (Job 38:1-7). (pp.114,15).
