The Meaning Behind The Symbol or Shape of 'Crux Ansata' or The 'Ankh'

The Law of One, Book III, Session 55

Questioner: The book, The Life Force Of The Great Pyramid, has related the ankh shape with a resonance in the pyramid.

Is this a correct analysis?

Ra: I am Ra. We have scanned your mind and find the phrase “working with crayons.”

This would be applicable.

There is only one significance to these shapes such as the crux ansata; that is the placing in coded form of mathematical relationships.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 92

Questioner: Was the symbol on the front of the Priestess’s shirt given by Ra?

Ra: I am Ra. The crux ansata is the correct symbol.

The addition and slight distortion of this symbol thereby is astrological and may be released from its stricture.

Questioner: Would this crux ansata then be indicating the sign of life as the spirit enlivening matter?

Ra: I am Ra. This is quite correct.

Moreover, it illuminates a concept which is a portion of the archetype which has to do with the continuation of the consciousness which is being potentiated, in incarnation, beyond incarnation.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 93

Questioner: I am assuming that you mean one full question.

I’ll make that question in this form.

I’d like to know the significance of the shape of the crux ansata, and if that’s too much of an answer I’ll just ask if there is anything that we can do to make the instrument more comfortable or to improve the contact?

Ra: I am Ra. There are mathematical ratios within this image which may yield informative insights to one fond of riddles.

We shall not untangle the riddle.

We may indicate that the crux ansata is a part of the concept complexes of the archetypical mind,

the circle
indicating the magic of the spirit,

the cross
indicating that nature of manifestation which may only be valued by the losing.

Thus

the crux ansata
is intended to be seen as an image of the eternal in and through manifestation and beyond manifestation through the sacrifice and the transformation of that which is manifest.

The support group functions well.

The swirling waters experienced by the instrument since our previous working have substantially aided the instrument in its lessening of the distortion of pain.

All is well.

The alignments are well guarded.

We leave you, my friends, in the love and the light of the Infinite One.

Go forth, therefore, rejoicing in the power and in the peace of the One Infinite and Glorious Creator.

Adonai.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 94

Questioner: I’ll have to work on that.

Then I am guessing that the crossed legs of the entity in Card Four have a meaning similar to the crux ansata. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. 

The cross formed by the living limbs of the image signifies that which is the nature of mind/body/spirit complexes in manifestation within your illusion. 

There is no experience which is not purchased by effort of some kind, no act of service-to-self or others which does not bear a price, to the entity manifesting, commensurate with its purity.

All things in manifestation 
may be seen in one way or another to be offering themselves in order that transformations may take place upon the level appropriate to the action.

Questioner: The bird is within the circle on the front of the entity on Card Four. 

Would that have the same significance of the circular part of the crux ansata?

Ra: I am Ra. It is a specialized form of this meaningful shape. 

It is specialized in great part due to the nature of the crossed legs of manifestation which we have previously discussed.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 95

Questioner: The possibility of the legs of the entity of Card Four being at right angles was linked with the tesseract⁸, mentioned in a much earlier session by Ra, as the direction of transformation from space/time into time/space and I was thinking that possibly it was also linked with the crux ansata. 

Am I in any way correct in this observation?

⁸ tesseract: in speculative mathematics, a cube which has developed at least one additional dimension.

Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last query of this working, as transferred energy wanes. 

The observation of the right angles and their transformational meaning is most perceptive, O student. 

Each of the images leading to the Transformations of Mind, Body, and Spirit and ultimately to the great transformative Choice has the increasing intensity of increasing articulation of concept; that is to say, each image in which you find this angle may increasingly be seen to be a more and more stridently calling voice of opportunity to use each resource, be it experience as you now observe or further images, for the grand work of the adept which builds towards transformation using the spirit’s bountiful shuttle to intelligent infinity. 

Please ask any brief queries at this space/time.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 96

Questioner: Would Ra please give me any information possible on the ratios of dimensions, and the shape of the crux ansata as it should be made or drawn?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: In Card Number Three we will remove all the letters and the stars and I assume that the little cups around the outside of the rays representing the sun should be removed?

Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes

Questioner: In Card Number Four we will remove all the letters and the stars and it seems that again we have a situation of removing the wand and putting the sphere in the hand. Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Again, this is a matter of choice.

Though astrological in nature, this particular scepter has possibilities of relevance in the originally intended concept complex.

This instrument is experiencing some small lack of that distortion which you call proper breathing due to the experience of your near past, as you perceive it.

Therefore, as this instrument has requested a substantial enough amount of transferred energy to be retained that it might effect a comfortable re-entry, we shall at this time ask for one more query, after noting the following.

We did not complete our statement upon the dimensions of the crux ansata.

It is given in many places.

There are decisions to be made as to which drawing of this image is the appropriate one.

We may, of course, suggest viewing the so-called Great Pyramid if the puzzle is desired.

We do not wish to work this puzzle.

It was designed in order that in its own time it be deciphered.

In general, of course, this image has the meaning previously stated.
