📖 題組:
The construction of the Egyptian pyramids has long fascinated historians, engineers, and spiritual seekers alike. While mainstream archaeology attributes these monumental structures to skilled labor and stone tools, the Seth Material—a series of spiritual teachings said to be received by Jane Roberts in the 1960s and 70s through a trance-like state—offers a radically different explanation. According to the Seth Material, the pyramids were not built through physical exertion alone, but by employing a forgotten mastery of “inner sound” and consciousness to manipulate matter. The Seth Material suggests that ancient Egyptians understood how to use sound not just as a sensory experience but as a force capable of altering matter’s density. This allowed massive stone blocks to be lifted without traditional machinery. In addition, the Seth Material introduced the concept of “coordinate points,” specific locations in space-time where consciousness and physical reality intersect more readily. These energetic zones could have allowed ancient builders to assemble structures with greater ease—possibly using focused thought or conscious will rather than just tools and labor. From this view, the pyramids were more than tombs; they were multi-dimensional tools, perhaps even serving as gateways between physical and non-physical realms. This theory, while unconventional, invites several positive interpretations. It challenges materialist assumptions and encourages expansive thinking about human potential and the spiritual dimensions of ancient technology. The notion of using sound and mental focus to shape reality echoes concepts found in other ancient wisdom traditions, such as Tibetan monks chanting to move objects. Some contemporary researchers have even explored whether the pyramids’ locations correspond with subtle Earth energies, lending a degree of speculative support to the coordinate point concept. At the very least, the whole theory adds symbolic value, portraying the pyramids as the result of a civilization deeply in tune with the universe, not just with stone. However, these ideas are met with strong skepticism in academic circles. There is no physical or historical evidence of tools or knowledge that could manipulate matter through consciousness. The Seth Material, being channeled, lacks peer-reviewed validation and relies heavily on belief and interpretation. Moreover, critics argue that attributing ancient achievements to mystical forces can undermine the ingenuity and labor of real human workers, engineers, and societies who demonstrated incredible organizational and technical skill for their time. In essence, while the Seth Material offers a poetic and metaphysically rich perspective, it remains speculative and largely unsupported by conventional science. Still, its imaginative framework can inspire new ways of thinking about what ancient civilizations might have known—and what we have yet to rediscover.

According to the passage, what purpose does the comparison to Tibetan monks serve?
  • A Proving that sound has seldom been used to levitate objects.
  • B Refuting the Seth Material by pointing out alternative explanations.
  • C Providing an example of similar metaphysical claims across cultures.
  • D Explaining why Eastern traditions had better technology than Egyptians.

思路引導 VIP

請回想一下文章第三段在討論「賽斯資料」關於聲音與心念的觀點時,作者隨後提到了西藏僧侶的例子。請問作者將這兩者放在一起比較,是想藉由西藏僧侶的例子來說明什麼樣的共同現象呢?

跨文化概念的呼應

文章第三段在討論「運用聲音與心念塑造現實」時,隨即指出這項觀點在其他古老智慧傳統中也能找到呼應(echoes),並舉出「西藏僧侶透過吟唱移動物體」作為例子。這正是為了提供一個跨文化間存在相似形上學(metaphysical)主張的範例,因此選項 (C) 完全正確。
