Spiritual Reality- Part 4 Pyramid and Pyramid Power

In part 4 in the series which reviews the DVD Spiritual Reality, a new concept for most Westerners is that of pyramids and pyramid power. In actuality, this concept is covered very briefly in this 7 minute segment, and is followed by a review of the concepts covered in parts 1-4 (which I found to be very helpful).

According to the DVD, the pyramid is the "most stable structure which receives (or is a conductor of) the highest cosmic energy in this planet earth." It is stated that if one meditates within the structure of a perfect pyramid, the maximum amount of cosmic energy will be transmitted, and if a crystal is hung at the apex of the pyramid, even more can be received. The pyramid should perfectly align with the four directions and the material that the pyramid is constructed of is of no importance.

I have to admit, I had a flash of what my neighbors might think if I constructed a pyramid in my back yard out of old appliance boxes, and further added to my image that I could wear a hat of tin foil to complete the ensemble. I'm guessing that my sophomoric reaction is simply due to this being a new concept that takes some getting used to. Who am I to say if it works or does not work? While I'm unlikely to construct such a special meditation space, I could conceive of creating such a meditation room if I ever build a new home. Why not? I would love to hear posts from people who are familiar with this idea and what you think about it, or from people who have meditated in a pyramid structure to see what your experience was. Minds are like parachutes. They only work when they are open. So I'm keeping an open mind on this one.

Then, as mentioned, this segment is completed with a review of parts 1-4. Also of interest was the guideline given that the time spent in meditation "should" be equal to your age in years. If you're 40, spend 40 minutes and so on. I would presume that it would be perfectly acceptable to work up to this if you are new to meditation so that you are not overwhelmed by so much time at first. It was also stated that children could begin meditating as early as age 5. If you use the principles described, it would seem, depending on the child, they could begin even earlier. Interestingly the current guideline for "time-outs" is one minute per year of age. So if that is workable, it would seem that one minute per year of age of "quiet time" could be a useful practice too. Sit with your child during these times to demonstrate what sitting quietly is.
