Wonders of the Pyramid of Asia

The magic and mystery of pyramids, believed to have originated over 7,000 years ago, remain an enigma to researchers and scientists up to this day. Arguments and debates as to their legendary attributes have produced no clear winners, only illusory conclusions.

One ardent pyramid advocate, however, contends that the unique model he designed for Rev. Alex L. Orbito, which is now an imposing landmark in Barangay Cabanbanan, Manaoag, Pangasinan, is a powerhouse of cosmic elements that can transform the lives of many people.

When German architect Dieter Loewer laid the four wooden main pillars of the Pyramid of Asia on June 11, 1999, he quickly and emphatically declared that "from this moment, pyramid life begins."

Offering his free service in gratitude for healing experience in the hands of Orbito, Loewer argues that "a pyramid is a location of force. The electromagnetic equilibrium field of the earth surrounds the earth spherically in a north-south or east-west direction. The form of the pyramic absorbs these rotating equilibrium fields in a concentric way. The functioning of the pyramid requires a natural building of the external walls without conducive materials as nails, cramps or aluminum."

Loewer further cautions against creating illusions of grandeur for the Pyramid of Asia, stressing that ancient pyramids of Egypt, especially the Pyramid of Giza (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), can never be duplicated in this lifetime. Yet, he is very optimistic that cosmic energy has its "astonishing abilities in a small way."

The Pyramid of Asia, Loewer adds, is about 150 times smaller than the legendary temple constructions on the Nile Delta in Mesopotamia, Arabia or even in Peru and Mexico. Nonetheless, he avers that "cosmic energy is slumbering under their walls" while the Pyramid of Asia, the only healing pyramid of the world, "has a strong emission despite the encumbrance of the inside scaffolding." He observes that the energy is very intense and he could feel it just by looking at the photo.

From these observations, one can expect great things from the Pyramid of Asia. Yet, Loewer says there may be some risks in over exposure to cosmic power on individuals with low blood pressure or weak hearts. "This is very delicate, but I have to check and determine the time of everyone’s stay inside the pyramid."

In January 2000, Loewer set the guidelines for all entrants to the pyramid. Nobody is allowed to wear jewelry, clothing with any metallic trappings like buttons and buckles, or even dentures with metal base. Ladies can stay inside for eleven minutes while the men, seven. The best time to enter the pyramid is at 10 a.m. or 3 p.m. At no time during rains or storms must one enter because the pyramid is sensitive to lightning. Moreover, the absence of sunlight reverses the energy.

The presence of metal greatly diminish the energy circulating within the confines of the pyramid. In cases where a TV crew or a photographer is allowed to take footages, it is made clear that pyramid power cannot be availed of. Another 24 hours will be needed to restore the depleted energy.

The pyramid would have been a glorious evening spectacle had the powerful spotlights not been dismantled per instructions of Loewer. He contends that electrical lines near the pyramid affect the cosmic concentration. He even wants the Napocor power lines on the road alongside the pyramid moved farther away due to their heavy voltage, but doing so now will entail considerable costs.

Once everything is in place – measurement of pyramid energy, serial interference, lightning protection and purity of water – Loewer can ensure that the Pyramid of Asia will be truly functional and not a dummy. With pride, he sincerely believe it is the "largest healing pyramid in the world."

With all these bright prospects, no one could be most ecstatic than Alex Orbito who dreamt of building a healing pyramid as a young boy. It is interesting to note that during those frequent, recurring dreams, Orbito was then unfamiliar with advanced geometric figures. In fact, he was out of school and wandering through Cagayan Valley as a stow-away.

It took more than 30 years, countless sacrifices and hindrances, even opposition, before Orbito’s dream was finally realized on Nov. 25, 1999. Former Pres. Fidel V. Ramos led the inaugural rites attended by some 200 foreign delegates representing 16 countries, and local officials and supporters.

The Pyramid of Asia, with a 100 square-meter floor area and 10 meters in height, sits on an elevated area of a fourhectare lot. The periphery houses an auditorium, restaurant, conference hall, giant swimming pool, cottages, healing booths and an ecumenical chapel. A seven-storey hotel is still on the drawing board.

Orbito had a direct hand in the layout of the resort. He instructed his engineers to cluster physical amenities on the right side while on the left stand the chapel, healing rooms and the pyramid. His philosophy simply underscores a dividing line between the physical and spiritual requirements of visitors.

Today, tourists consider the resort a true haven for weary bodies and disturbed thoughts. The locals are having fun while foreigners indulge in discovering personal facets of spiritual healing. Wedding and baptismal receptions as well as birthday parties are better remembered when these are held at the Pyramid of Asia.

Orbito’s dream, indeed, has become a magnified reality!
