What you will notice is that there are two pyramids. One is below at the base while the other one appears separated and at the top. The top pyramid above is what Rob Kall refers to as the top-1%.
The dollar bill's pyramid shows us how long this conditioning has been going on. Yes, it goes way back to the Egyptians. Recall the Adam and Eve story? "And the Man (Adam) shall rule over thee?" There it is, the pyramid. The Man, the transcendent eye, is beyond this world and therefore a part from the rest of us.
So much for teamwork!
So, the question is, are we ready to challenge what we have been taught regarding reality.
My first thought in getting out of this mess of Western Civilization is that we need to redefine transcendence. Transcendence in accord to the top-down dollar bill symbol entails a separation from the base. "I'm beyond all this" is the battle cry of the top 1-5 or 10% (a corporate five and dime? Remember those stores?).
"I'm not getting my hands dirty" saith the Koch Brother! "Ok, David," we respond. "If you sit on top and the base collapses, then what?" Oh, Ok, you have that covered. Your pyramid is beyond all that. It is transcendent.
Transcendence is indeed a deep experience to spiritual awakening. Yet, what is transcendence? Here I'm going to argue that transcendence is getting the Big Picture and NOT being separated out from the rest of the world.
To help you along in understanding this, consider you are driving or walking up a mountain. When you get to the top of the mountain, you can see how the various landmarks (rivers, streams, hills, housing, etc) relate. This is the very reason that many of the Lords, Nobles and Kings of the Feudal States lived on top of hillsides. Like God, they look down upon us ground based peasants. (The Koch Brothers have airplanes and other avenues to super-vise us, so they don't need to sit on a hillside. They can now have ocean front mansions!).
