Pyramids in the AP & around the world

[Urantia]

Why is this symbol so common? In astral and OBE books, websites, videos. Also in corporate logo's, TV, ancient hieroglyphics, artifacts, and countless other instances. This symbols seems to be EVERYWHERE. Why? I don't think its a stupid question to ask because it is seen so many times and should have some spiritual explanation, truth, or reason. I know many corrupt individuals also use this symbol as some form of power, but others use it in the complete opposite form, as though it had spiritual meaning. I'm sure it has countless explanations or maybe just one truth. Any interpretations would be very intresting to hear or understand more of.

Pyramids represent mystery, since no-one knows how the great pyramids in Egypt were built.

And humans love mystery, we are naturally drawn to puzzles.  We love to try and 'work it out', give our opinion of what really happened, and pontificate until the cows come home.  That's why discussion forums are so popular! 

Therefore, it's a great marketing symbol to use, as it is instantly recognisable (and therefore 'safe'), appealing to the eye (being symmetrical) and stimulates our brain.

That's my take on it.

but see they were built, I'm sure if you really pontificate enough there will always be a solution or explanation just the way the wondered how to build it. I believe everything & anything that is a mystery has an answer, reason, or reasons. There are no mysteries if you really deeply and truly want to know the truth or cause. There are many sayings that go along with this theme (one is "the truth is out there") do you agree?

On the other note, my take on this is I think this symbol has distributed & followed planet by planet, galaxy by galaxy, & quite a decent amount of space area of this universe maybe even more..but, you do bring a very strong point, we may never know the true meaning of this symbol for a while, but it's always a matter of time for any mystery. I have a feeling theres a deep spiritual connection to this symbol, as though the lines intersecting create some sort of unity. Could be much more than that. Maybe something I or we cannot see yet.

but as of right now I agree with you, it is still a mystery to me and many of us.

no evidence but theory

I agree that there is one answer to how they were built.  But will we ever find that answer?  We've been pontificating for donkeys years and in this day and age, we still don't really know.  Explanations are abound.  Here is one.  They were built by aliens.  End of story.  That can't be disproved.  But neither can it be proved.  But it's a solution and explanation.

No I disagree with this.  I perhaps agree that there is an answer to every mystery, but certainly not a reason.  I believe that everyone finds their own 'truth'.  There is no ultimate 'catch-all' truth.  But of course, this is just my opinion and I may be horribly wrong.

I have a feeling theres a deep spiritual connection to this symbol, as though the lines intersecting create some sort of unity. Could be much more than that. Maybe something I or we cannot see yet.

It's certainly a possibility.  And places such as Stonehenge are fascinating - how they knew back then just how to place each stone to perfection.  We tend to explain it away as, "oh they were much more in tune with the earth back then," and get on with our materialistic lives.  Which is probably quite close to the truth!  It's a shame that the majority of us have lost interest in these ancient gifts and are grudgingly following the herd - work in a job that you hate, for another human you loathe, give that company so much of your precious time.  And then, in your leisure time, what do we do?  Turn the television on to watch mindless garbage for those few hours.  And we think we have no choice!  Ha!  What fools we are.

Sorry, I've gone off on a tangent there.  I've just watched Jonathan Livingston Seagull and it has fired my imagination!

Agreed.. I definitely think there is no one true answer for everyone, but we (humans) all share a similarity of knowing, finding, searching for truth, and that ever strive to be perfect as "god" (it may be different for other beings or creatures)...I am sure the answer & truth may vary for each individual. But again in the very end (if there is an end) we all just might share the same ONE truth (this is another subject or maybe not). There is no right or wrong answer, just a theory..(Everything said, thought, seen, perceived, realized, loved, felt & and everything in between has some form of reason or truth.

Take this for example: Image the being, thing, god, or universe of universes that created everything of everything came to the very very end (if there is), where it could not share it with another being, thing, or anything we perceive. Could it just have rolled itself back to a lower time of the infinite cycle? to let his creations take over what it has started (if it did start). Maybe it was the creations that keep the infinite going. Not saying its true or anything just a thought. I'm probably wrong about this..But, in a way it might be true.

Much wisdom this one has.
