There is something we rarely dare to look at directly…the base of the pyramid. Not the top, not the visible figures, not the systems that appear powerful, but the vast, living foundation on which everything in the world of form rests.
The ordinary human being.
The one who cooks, cleans, cares, builds, teaches, heals, listens, drives, grows food, holds families together, keeps life moving. Quietly. Repeatedly. Invisibly.
But what is important: Without the base, the pyramid does not slowly weaken. It simply cannot stand.
No leader can lead if no one follows. No system can function if no one participates. No structure can survive if the foundation withdraws its belief, its energy, its cooperation.
This is not rebellion….this is metaphysical clarity.
In the world of form, it may look as if the top holds power. Decisions are made that affect millions, sometimes billions. Policies, systems, narratives, structures that shape daily life. And it can feel deeply unsettling to see how a small number of people can influence the experience of the many.
To pretend this does not happen would not be love. It would be denial.
And denial is not forgiveness.
Forgiveness, as A Course in Miracles teaches, is not pretending that what we perceive does not hurt. It is recognizing that what we perceive is part of a projection within the mind, while still being honest about the experience.
Yes, projections can hurt. Yes, the world can feel heavy. Yes, decisions made “at the top” can ripple through the lives of the many.
To acknowledge this is not fear. It is awareness.
But here is where the symbol of the pyramid becomes spiritually revolutionary.
Because the top is never sustained by itself. It is sustained by the base!
If the base lives in fear, the pyramid of fear remains stable.
If the base lives in division, the structures of division persist.
If the base sees itself as powerless, power concentrates at the top.
Not because the top is inherently stronger, but because the base
has forgotten its own strength.
And this is where the deepest ACIM perspective enters, quietly but powerfully.
The world is not maintained by force alone. It is maintained by belief.
By attention…..identification….emotional investment…the collective agreement that “this is reality.”
The ego, whether individual or collective, thrives on fear, separation and numbers. It reduces living beings to statistics, roles, categories, functions. Not out of divine authority, but out of a perception rooted in separation.
And separation always needs hierarchy to sustain itself.
Yet from the perspective of Spirit, no one is a number.
No one is “the base.” And no one is “less.”
There is only the One Son, appearing as many.
This is why the awakening of the so-called base is not a political movement.
It is a shift in consciousness…a silent but immense shift.
Imagine what happens when millions of people stop feeding fear internally.
When they stop reacting from panic. When they stop seeing each other as enemies. When they begin to feel genuine care for one another.
Not forced unity or ideological unity, but human, gentle, heart-based recognition.
“I see you as my brother.”
“I refuse to live in hatred.”
“I choose love, even while I am aware.”
This is not weakness. This is divine strength !!!
Because the ego expects resistance through conflict.
It understands attack, it understands opposition, it understands war.
What it does not understand is collective inner alignment with love.
That is something entirely different.
We don’t have to fight the projection, we can just withdraw the belief in fear that sustains it.
Not by pretending everything is fine, but by refusing to let fear become our teacher.
Here lies the real power of the base of the pyramid….a colllective remembrance.
If what seems like billions of separate individuals begin to recognize:
We are not numbers. We are not powerless bodies. We are consciousness choosing. Then something subtle but profound happens.
The pyramid of fear loses its psychological foundation. Because systems of control…..whether social, economic, or ideological…depend far more on internal fear than on external authority.
A frightened mind is easy to guide.
A divided mind is easy to influence.
An awakened mind is calm, perceptive, and no longer easily manipulated by narratives of threat.
From an ACIM perspective, the “collective ego” is simply the shared belief in separation, fear and vulnerability. And yes, it can appear enormous. Overwhelming even, but the Holy Spirit works through a different collective field: forgiveness, joining, love.
We are not pretending everything is okay. Love is not naïveté.
Love is clarity without hatred. It sees what is happening in the world,
feels the pain of projections, and still chooses not to add more fear to the field.
This is where the phrase “Now it is enough” becomes sacred rather than aggressive.
Not: “Enough, we will attack.”
But: “Enough fear. Enough division. Enough dehumanization.”
Wanneer de basis van de piramide liefde voor elkaar begint te voelen in plaats van angst voor elkaar, verschuift de hele energetische structuur van de wereld. Langzaam, geruisloos, maar onomkeerbaar.
Omdat de Zoon van God één is.
Als het Ene zich manifesteert als miljarden, en miljarden zich beginnen te wenden tot liefde in plaats van angst, dan is ontwaken geen individuele gebeurtenis meer. Het wordt een collectief, zacht herinneren.
Geen oorlog tegen het kwaad.
Maar een terugtrekking van psychologische samenwerking als gevolg van angst.
Dan wordt de goddelijke kracht van de "basis" onthuld... als Aanwezigheid.
En op dat moment wordt de piramide niet langer bijeengehouden door angst aan de basis en controle aan de top.
Het wordt geleidelijk opgelost door het ontwaken van de fundering zelf.
Liefde als enige ware autoriteit.
Met liefde en licht,
G.
