According to the map

Overview 

According to the Map presents an interpretation of the design of the pyramids at Giza as a map and a message. Three levels of abstraction will be employed to argue the pyramids map situations in phenomenology, psychology, and ontology, where each situation is consistent with a common conceptual geometry. The perspective of the presentation is phenomenology.

Sufficient insight is introduced to illustrate the encoding of a map by the geometry of the pyramids that could only have been designed by someone with knowledge of the multidimensionality of the universe and its temporal dynamics, physics we don’t fully understand.

The pyramids encode a map that tells us a story about ourselves. The map also tells a story about its origin. The type and amount of information the map memorializes and the sophistication of the map’s encoding suggest the origin of the design could be extraterrestrial.

from the author

 In chapter one of the book, I make a distinction between three modes of an object from the perspective of its appearance and observation. The three modes enabling conceptualization of the appearance and observation of an object are manifestations of a fundamental pattern of three modes that repeat at various levels of conceptualization. In other words, the three modes conceptualizing the appearance and observation of an object are essentially a manifestation of three fundamental modes embedded within one of the same three fundamental modes — it’s a repeating pattern. From a phenomenological perspective, these more fundamental modes can be described as being, knowing, and having. They are interrelated in a unique way that represents a pattern that repeats itself and builds on itself to support a whole that can achieve more than its parts — an organism.

Being and having are inherently temporal modes and they are diametrically opposed. The unfolding of knowing is also temporal — a process within a more encompassing process — but it differs from being and having in one important way: it has a truth condition the book describes, from the perspective of the perception of an object, as the object observed as it appears in the now. This truth condition makes it convenient to conceptualize knowing as a spatial mode. From the perspective of our experience of perception, being and having are only of value to an organism if it represents the being and having of something existing in a world, and that something is provided by the mode of knowing. The upshot is the three modes conceptualizing the appearance and observation of an object are essentially modes of being, knowing, and having, representing a fundamental pattern within the mode of knowing. Knowing, however, is part of a more encompassing pattern where being, knowing, and having interrelate to make possible what an organism understands as consciousness of (the experience of (the perception of (an object))). It gets more complicated, but this is all you need to know to put the level of detail presented in the book into perspective.

For some, this overview may come as a revelation, but there’s nothing mysterious here, and it’s a pattern that you, as a human organism in an organismic world, are more familiar with than you realize. The pattern’s manifestation is different when viewed from a psychological perspective, but it is nevertheless there.

The map encoded in the pyramids is telling us there’s more than one interpretation of a fundamental dynamic in the order of things. The map communicates this robustness quite well, albeit abstractly in the form of geometry. When you see how a fundamental pattern repeats itself and interacts to enable organismic behavior, you can appreciate its simplicity and power, and once you understand what’s suggested about the underlying multidimensionality of space and time and its fundamental nature, you have no choice but wonder about the source of this memorialized knowledge. I have no doubts that ancient Egyptians built the pyramids at Giza. The design of the map, however, makes me wonder.
