THE CAVITY RESONATOR

An unusual experiment in transcendence

The pyramid, which geometrically is defined as: a polyhedron having a polygonal base and triangular sides with a common vertex is the most enigmatic structure on the planet which we know of. There are pyramids in Africa, Asia, the Americas and in Europe and satellite imaging is discovering more of them, anywhere, all the time. The effort and time which our forefathers put into their construction point to some particular purpose, a mysterious design which goes beyond evident astronomical purposes and which is still unclear to us.

Particularly in Egypt, mostly because of what appear to be sarcophagi being placed inside them, they are taken to be sepulchral places of ancient kings and high priests but by now not all egyptologists do fully agree on this theory. Down-to-earth and wild theories have been put forth concerning the pyramids accompanied by either sound facts or mysterious events. What is baffling us is the real reason beyond such gigantic structures as to their real purpose and the means used to set them up without a proper technology such as we have.

Speaking about pyramids and electronics in anticipation of an experiment in consciousness might seem inappropriate, yet, if you have the ability to relate diverse things and place them in their proper perspective in a mosaic a perfectly reasonable and useful image might come out so that a few introductory notes might just serve this purpose.

In electronics a cavity resonator is a metal enclosure, often shaped like a cylinder or rectangular prism which operates as a tuned frequency at frequencies above 200 MHz (megahertz). Resonance is the condition in which the frequency of an applied signal coincides with a natural response frequency of a circuit or an object. In radio-frequency applications resonance is a circuit condition in which there are equal amounts of capacitive reactance and inductive reactance and, for resonance to be possible in a circuit, reactance must be non-zero. Tuning in a cavity resonator is usually achieved by means of a small metallic rod placed inside it and properly spaced so as to achieve the desired frequency.

If we unite four little triangles of brass or copper sheet, raised up at a given angle so that they share a common vertex we have two things: a geometrical solid figure in the shape of a pyramid on one side and, on the other side, a cavity resonator with which we might like to experiment with if we are keen of electronics. (*) Speaking about pyramids and electronics in anticipation of an experiment in consciousness might seem inappropriate, yet, if you have the ability to relate diverse things and place them in their proper perspective in a mosaic a perfectly reasonable and useful image might come out so that a few introductory notes might just serve this purpose. To play with a cavity resonator to achieve desired results we must place into it a small metallic element which will act as a tuner just like sarcophagi - if such they were intended to be - were placed into the Egyptian pyramids (and others: wiz. Nubia end elsewhere). Looking at the Egyptian pyramids like gargantuan cavity resonators, the purpose of their alignment and other pertinent matters is best left to people with a sound knowledge of physics and mathematics if anyone may be interested in such a theory.

The most complex circuit we know of is neither made up of sandstone blocks like the ones making up the pyramids of Egypt nor some small metallic sheets employed to make a cavity resonator like the one hinted at above but, you might have guessed it, it is made up of the soft tissues of the brain and the brain is a complex electronic circuit which emits electromagnetic waves in the low frequency spectrum (**) which in medicine, neurology and in ERP (Event Related Potential) studies in psychophysiology are very significant since they give hints concerning not just our physical well being but also to the workings of our consciousness like in dreams, schizophrenia or other altered states of mind.

Next we have that most baffling thing which has no color, no shape, no dimension which we call "psyche" and which, without going in a lengthy discourse concerning mind and matter will simply be defined as "a non-electrical charge acted upon by the experience-total of our life in a physical environment". We cannot see, touch or measure it but we sense it so long as we are conscious and an EEG does not produce flat lines instead of peaks and valleys. The brain is the interface between the physical environment and the psyche and between the two there is a sustained feedback.

Mental images have their own life, their own reality, their own energy. They spring from the experience-total of our life and its environment and, more often than not we are simply in a position of being unable to interpret them - but in a mysterious language which is referred to as the memory of the race, or archetypes, or in seizures they speak to us all the time. On the other hand at times we are able, through what we call the power of imagination, to create more or less complex mental images at will.

Before going to the next section, less boring and possibly more revealing, try to see an eventual connection between the pyramid as a cavity resonator and your psyche as an autonomous non-electrical charge and any possible interaction between the two within an imagery context. Hence you are simply going into imaginary scenery into which you will purposefully paint into the canvas of your mind a locus where a non-electrical charge is put inside a cavity resonator in the wise of a pickup sensor, a transducer.

But before proceeding, once more a word of caution: there are unknown forces within the human temple, deep rooted in the unconscious, of which we are absolutely unaware. Tampering with the unknown may be beneficial and, conversely, psychically disruptive Before venturing in this unusual exercise be sure that you are physically and psychologically healthy.

The purpose of the experiment is to get in touch with your real self and derive benefits and insight thereof. In this respect it might not be different from Tantric Yoga with complex mandalas and yantras or other more or less abstruse meditation exercises. Its value is in the extreme concise and simple technique, in the no-frills and tangible results which you might derive from it.

... " try to see an eventual connection between the pyramid as a cavity resonator and the psyche-as-self as an autonomous non electrical charge and any possible interaction between the two within an imagery context"... and this summed up almost the whole of it but it appears a little terse so we shall add a few notes which will clearly, even if concisely, describe the experiment.

Just like the requirements of any experiment in meditation, it is imperative that you be relaxed, breathe properly and carry it out in a quiet environment. The next step, fully relaxed, is to imagine a pyramid, a simple pyramid, you don't need a sarcophagus inside, hieroglyphs and ancient ornaments or pictures. Focus your attention on simplicity.

Next you should imagine your self - not yourself - for what it is: no shape, dimension or color or any other attribute. You will see nothing but you will feel it as tangible as anything which you can grab with the hands because it is that sort of life-charge which keeps us going. It is the sum total of consciousness and the subconscious.

The pyramid has its own energy as a cavity resonator, and this is irradiated toward a focal point.

Your psyche-as-self, here in a supra-consciousness state, has its own energy and is located right within the focal point of the cavity resonator, within the vaults of the pyramid so that there is a natural interaction between your self's energy and the pyramid's energy; be aware that a pyramid is a collector of cosmic radiations which are focalized, hence amplified, in a given locus within the same.

It cannot be otherwise, the mental image is energy and your self is energy but the interaction is between two diverse forms of energy, like matter and antimatter. Don't try to stop forcefully the flow of thoughts nor fall into reveries, rather, be focused on the exercise. You are perfectly relaxed, your whole being (as expressed by the word self) is within the pyramid, nothing else disturbs you.

Don't worry if it won't give you nirvana, self liberation or other delusional states of mind, they are all illusions. Nor might it give you super-psychic powers so as to levitate, accomplish wonders and subjugate humanity. The quest is peace of mind, freedom, knowledge or, differently stated, absolute self-control.

For health problems, with the awareness that magnetic fields are beneficial to biological organisms, hence to the human body as well, you may even imagine a magnetic pyramid, something like the one depicted in the image below, on the right

and since imagination has little if any limits, place yourself comfortably at a height of about one third from the base to the apothem, or apex, of the pyramid. Here the magnetic field will restore the balance of the body's biochemical radiation, the parapsychologist's aura.

A rational explanation of mental processes of the kind taking place in altered states of mind - like deep meditation - usually is not ready at hand, but in our case, that is to say the "Cavity Resonator/Pyramid" meditation it can be afforded with an analogy to certain physical processes. Hence before saying anything else let us look at these two electronic devices:

"A Faraday Cage in an enclosure that prevents an electric field from entering or leaving. It is usually made of a wire screen or mesh, or a solid non-magnetic material broken so that there is not a complete path for current flow and "A Cavity Resonator is a metal enclosure, usually shaped like a cylinder or a rectangular prism. Cavity resonators operate as tuned circuits. A cavity has an infinite number of resonant frequencies. When the length of the cavity is equal to any integral multiple of 1/2 wavelength, electromagnetic waves will be reinforced in the enclosure. Thus, a cavity resonator has a fundament frequency and a theoretically infinite number of harmonic frequencies."

This means that our imaginary pyramid can be- and simultaneously is - both a faraday cage and a cavity resonator to which the principles stated above apply but a Faraday Cage does non stop all kinds of cosmic radiations; to make it simple: the energy within will not be lost and, at the same time, it will be amplified and multiplied.

A good way to make a pyramid-model it to take a square sheet of the material employed, draw two diagonals across the angles , cut along the lines so that you will get the four triangles which will the form the pyramid (but the best proportion for a pyramid is 3:4:5). This method will greatly help to build an imaginary pyramid while at rest with closed eyes. What material should we employ in our imaginary construction? Do not forget that it will have to work with, as previously stated your self - not yourself - for what it is: no shape, dimension or color or any other attribute. You will see nothing but you will feel it as tangible as anything which you can grab with the hands because it is that some sort of unknown charge, terra incognita, which keeps us going. It is the sum total of consciousness and the subconscious. But what is this self? Might it not be some sort of luminance - that baffling light which we all search in our existence so as to disperse the darkness?

We live in darkness but we do not belong to it, we belong to the light, we are of the light whatever the metaphor means to you. So the best material to build our imaginary device will be four equal triangles of glass-mirror or better. Now visualize this: if from the perpendicular from the apex, at about one third of its length from the bottom and center of the pyramid a strong lamp with no enclosure is lightened what will happen? Since the angles of the pyramid are inclined at a given angle, each single ray will be reflected back on the lamp and will add to its own light. You are that lamp!

(*) Tampering with ELF (Extra Low Frequency) and VLF (Very Low Frequency) either in the electromagnetic spectrum or in acoustics may result in noxious physiological reactions ranging from slight disturbances to unexplained heavy sicknesses due to disrupting effects on biological organisms. Solid structures may be also affected.
