Pyramid with Cross

On moving toward the conscious realm after a period of deep (and almost fully unconscious) meditation state I entered what I'll call the Vortex State. This is a common signpost going in or coming out and is notable for spinning designs seen within the inner eye. Though still fully in meditation when this stage is reached, on exit it's a clear signal that the session is nearing completion. Consciousness and Will power enter and mix with the stuff of the unconscious realm.

There's a certain excitement when I (as in: my ego) am suddenly a part of the show, residues of the immense meat of the meditation lingering strongly. So here's where I can explore, and the balancing act between the ego's Will and flood of unconscious material begins. Push/Allow. Try/Not-try.

Today's TM (meditation): I suddenly hit the Vortex State during exit. The screen of my inner vision is purely black with white, slightly unfocused and amorphous imagery. Greyscale, little to none. I willfully focus in on it, trying to see into and through the image. I've had a notion for some time that the Vortex is rather one dimensional and while interesting perhaps conceals more valuable material. Indeed, imposing a focusing Will on it has yeilded interesting results.

Still spinning the imagery morphs: a menacing face made of smoke, then the Mt. Rushmore sculpture. The spinning stops and my vantage point is high in the air looking down at a grand pyramid atop of which is a suitably sized cross of the Christian sort. The imagery is now rich with shade, fully 3-D yet still B&W. I focus in on this image below me. The simple cross is the same shade -sunbleached stone - as the pyramid and without adornment of any kind, yet at its base where it meets the pyramid is a perfect nestle of clouds in a ring. This seems at once natural (for there are wisps of cloud all around at the level of the pyramid peak) and an important aspect of the vital image.

Then I fully emerge from meditation. Even as I write this an hour later I can still feel the warm pleasant pressure through my brain - another attribute of the practice.
Pyramids and crosses have not been common emergent imagery for me (unlike coils, mandalas, and eyes - so many eyes) and I was eager to peruse the internet for a corresponding image from history. I have found none as of yet and can report no accompanying thoughts or feelings which may give the slightest hint of its origin or symbolic meaning.
