I have reached out to the pyramids using my feelings, Master Yoda. I put more trust in the surveys and tests done. While the blocks used averaged 2.5 tons per stone, the intervening layers as shown by Khufu's tomb and other pyramids (some in ruins) indicate that the mode and method of building is what has been presented.

There is more of gravy than the grave for this building. It ignores the ability of men to do work in large groupings to suggest that the pyramids are not what is mentioned here.

Tibetan Secrets of Levitation

In his book The Bridge to Infinity, Bruce Cathie recounts an amazing story that he says originated in a German magazine. It tells the story of astonishing feats of levitation accomplished by priests in a monastery high in the Tibetan Himalayas. Here, in English translation, are excepts from that German article:

A Swedish doctor, Dr. Jarl... studied at Oxford. During those times he became friends with a young Tibetan student. A couple of years later, it was 1939, Dr. Jarl made a journey to Egypt for the English Scientific Society. There he was seen by a messenger of his Tibetan friend, and urgently requested to come to Tibet to treat a high Lama. After Dr. Jarl got the leave he followed the messenger and arrived after a long journey by plane and Yak caravans, at the monastery, where the old Lama and his friend who was now holding a high position were now living.

One day his friend took him to a place in the neighborhood of the monastery and showed him a sloping meadow which was surrounded in the north west by high cliffs. In one of the rock walls, at a height of about 250 metres was a big hole which looked like the entrance to a cave. In front of this hole there was a platform on which the monks were building a rock wall. The only access to this platform was from the top of the cliff and the monks lowered themselves down with the help of ropes.

In the middle of the meadow. about 250 metres from the cliff, was a polished slab of rock with a bowl like cavity in the center. The bowl had a diameter of one metre and a depth of 15 centimeters. A block of stone was maneuvered into this cavity by Yak oxen. The block was one metre wide and one and one-half metres long. Then 19 musical instruments were set in an arc of 90 degrees at a distance of 63 metres from the stone slab. The radius of 63 metres was measured out accurately. The musical instruments consisted of 13 drums and six trumpets. (Ragdons).

Behind each instrument was a row of monks. When the stone was in position the monk behind the small drum gave a signal to start the concert. The small drum had a very sharp sound, and could be heard even with the other instruments making a terrible din. All the monks were singing and chanting a prayer, slowly increasing the tempo of this unbelievable noise. During the first four minutes nothing happened, then as the speed of the drumming, and the noise increased, the big stone block started to rock and sway, and suddenly it took off into the air with an increasing speed in the direction of the platform in front of the cave hole 250 metres high. After three minutes of ascent it landed on the platform.

Continuously they brought new blocks to the meadow, and the monks using this method, transported 5 to 6 blocks per hour on a parabolic flight track approximately 500 metres long and 250 metres high. From time to time a stone split, and the monks moved the split stones away. Quite an unbelievable task. Dr Jarl knew about the hurling of the stones. Tibetan experts like Linaver, Spalding and Huc had spoken about it, but they had never seen it. So Dr Jarl was the first foreigner who had the opportunity to see this remarkable spectacle. Because he had the opinion in the beginning that he was the victim of mass-psychosis he made two films of the incident. The films showed exactly the same things that he had witnessed.

The English Society for which Dr Jarl was working confiscated the two films and declared them classified.

Hey, Kilik, you obviously believe and study this stuff. Can you levitate? Thought not.

Damnit. Three pages into this crap, I have to find this:
quote:
Unlike today, where most knowledge is a common right for all to participate (up to their intellectual capacity), in ancient Egypt learning was regarded as a high privilege, and education was under the direction of a small group of priests who were Initiates into the Sacred Mysteries of Ancient Egypt. These priests were organized into the Mystery Schools or sacred State institutions, and they were united by bonds, pledges and vows of secrecy. Such was the power, knowledge and secrecy of the Ancient Egyptian priesthood.

To enter the Mystery School and become an Initiate to the Ancient Sacred Mysteries of The Priests of Egypt, one had to be recommended by one of the Initiates. Application was NOT considered. Every member had to be sponsored by an Initiate in good standing. The sponsor would then become the student's guardian, guide and mentor. Once the person had been recommended, the king (Pharaoh) then gave the official authorization for their initiation. Only the highly privileged were granted the honor to become an Initiate into the Ancient Sacred Mysteries.
I guess I owe ol' HYBRID an apology. 'Cause this quack guy just had to be right. So there really were mystery schools. Ugh. I'm so ashamed for ever doubting them!!!

Well, gee, Kilik, the next sentence of the German magazine article reads,
They will not be released until 1990.

- Tibetan Sound Levitation Of Large Stones Witnessed By Scientist
So, those films have been available for about as long as the World Wide Web has been around. Where are they, Kilik? What do they show? Forcryingoutloud, Kilik, the book that excerpt was taken from was published in 1987. Surely Bruce Cathie (or even Childress) has published a follow-up in the last fifteen years describing what was on the films (or at least saying, "the German article was absolutely correct"). Yes? No?

Of course, the only text I can find which mentions the "English Scientific Society" is that excerpt. Either Google is not being my friend, or such a society no longer exists (or never existed).
