When we look at the world, it often appears as a giant pyramid of power.
A broad foundation of billions of ordinary people quietly holding everything together, and a very small group at the top who seem to run the show.
The higher you go, the fewer people you meet, and the more serious the faces become.
Yet the whole structure is a curious illusion, because the top can only exist as long as the base agrees to hold it up.
Everyone who has ever worked in a large organization knows how a pyramid of power behaves.
In the highest office sits the boss, perhaps surrounded by glass walls and an impressive view. He gets irritated, stressed, or simply has a bad morning. Without meaning to, he sends that sharp wave of energy down the ladder. The manager feels it first, tightens his shoulders, and passes the tension on to the department supervisor.
The supervisor, juggling ten tasks at once, releases it onto the worker who happens to stand nearest.
The worker takes the sting home, unaware that he is now carrying a piece of someone else’s day inside his chest.
At home, the worker’s son appears at the wrong moment with an innocent question, and the worker snaps.
The boy, confused and hurt, turns around and kicks the dog, because where else can he put the energy that was just dropped into his lap?
And the dog, poor creature, might go chase the cat, who startles the mouse, who scares the beetle hiding in the corner.
By the time the chain reaches that tiny beetle, the whole universe is probably laughing softly and thinking, “Really? All this started because someone in a suit frowned three hours ago?”
It is a humorous picture, but it reveals something profound:
Energy moves through the pyramid of power like a silent current, from person to person, unless someone…anyone (perhaps you!!) decides to
stop the cascade.
That was the beauty of the book “The Celestine Prophecy”.
This book was the first glimpse for so many people that energy is real, that we feel it, and that we are not powerless inside the structures we seem to live in.
One calm breath, one conscious choice, can interrupt an entire cascade.
And imagine….just imagine..that the very top of the pyramid decide to laugh instead of frown, to loosen its shoulders, to stop taking life so seriously.
The entire chain would reverse itself in an instant.
A gentle wave of ease would move down through the managers, the supervisors, the workers, into the homes, into the children, even into the animals. The dog would wag his tail, the cat would stretch instead of run, the mouse would nibble peacefully, and the beetle could stroll through his corner like a tiny king. One small shift at the top, and the whole pyramid would breathe out.
And then ACIM steps in with its quiet, steady voice and reminds us that nothing in the world can tell us who we are. Not the boss, not the manager, not the pyramid, not the story we think we are living in. Only the mind decides whether it will continue a chain/cascade of fear or gently dissolve it in peace.
The moment one mind chooses love, the whole structure softens.
Not because the world changes, but because you remembered the power that was always yours.
What looked like a towering pyramid becomes nothing more than scenery in a dream, a dream that cannot frighten you anymore once you know you are the dreamer.
And so the cascade stops.
Not at the top, not at the bottom, but wherever a single mind decides,
“I will not pass this on.”
A small choice, a quiet miracle, and suddenly the dog keeps his dignity, the cat keeps her calm, the mouse lives another day, and even the tiny beetle can stroll through his corner in perfect peace.
Because one mind remembered: this will ends here.
With love and light,
