Okay then ... default options;
1. It's a mystery. (An old Lodge Master once said thats the answer you give when a new person asks a new and difficult question )
2. Its synthetic projective geometry.
3. (Getting really desperate now ) It requires thelemic 'chanelling' ....
[ Several Thothforumites sigh; ... "Not that Shoggoth again!" ]
Perhaps they are "reflected light" from the lamp, bouncing around within the confines of the Universe?
Get a good translation of the Tao Te Ching (Dao De Jing) and read it with an open mind. It's short and sweet. The Tao is probably the model for the Force in Star Wars. I consider myself a Taoist (among other less reputable things ).
Maybe the lamp is not the source of the light, but rather the place where it is concentrated. Are the five rays from the Pyramid/Supernals(?) being projected downward into the lamp.
The 5 rays may indicate the sending forth of V.V.V.V.V. (Turn the card upside down to see the five V's. )
Maybe the rays correspond to the five paths that cross the Abyss?
