ON THE PYRAMID AND GEOMETRY


I’ve been going through my library, researching pyramids and triangles. If that shape does relate to The Board as Northmoor says, then perhaps our predecessors in the occult can offer some insight through their geometric knowledge.

In esotericism, the triangle is closely associated with the Holy Trinity and other three-part concepts. Past, present, future. Mind, body, spirit. Interestingly, the term "Board" also implies multiple parts.

Upright triangles in Judeo-Christian imagery indicate ascent into the rational/divine realm. Inverted, it signifies a descent into the corporeal/human. Naturally, the ascent is masculine and the fall is feminine. Adam and Eve. That's just a bit of old-world patriarchy. It's 1964 now and we're well past that silliness.

Considering the above, what does the inverted triangle tell us about The Board? They're clearly not corporeal or human. Perhaps they wish to be? Or they once were? The likeliest answer is simply that theological imagery cannot help us define alien entities.

But still, the pyramid seems significant. Shapes have power and clearly so does The Board.
