The answer to this question is “No, it cannot lose its power.” The reason for this is that the pyramid itself has no power. It is simply a shape. Yes, it is an amazing shape, but we are back to the question of the tree falling in the forest. If there are no beings there to feel the vibrations, witness the event, see the tree fall, etc., then, vibrations or not, what is the point? In the instance of a copper pyramid set up and holding its space in your home, nothing is falling or breaking or crashing. It is just set up. So, not even any vibrations except for those felt through a sympathetic resonance with the shape—a recognizing of the shape for what it means physiologically to living organisms.
This sympathetic resonance is what gives the experience power. The copper is there to make it more “tune-in-able” because of its transmission properties. So, once again, the pyramid itself has no intrinsic power. We hear some referring to “pyramid power” with such confidence that the pyramid itself has power. Even the preservative properties associated with pyramids is due to organic matter’s response to the shape and what it means.
Eternal Building Blocks / Golden Ratio
What does the shape mean? We are talking about universal building blocks shape-wise for matter and the discovery of a lasting form that can be duplicated again and again while preserving all possibilities. The intelligence of consciousness naturally and effortlessly discovering what will work that it may continue to build. Our bodies feel the power of possibility and what is eternally present in the form. By “eternal” I do mean that it never dies—only because what works always works and is found eternally by a curious consciousness eager to expand.
Consciousness itself is not matter-based or form based. Consciousness itself is simply awareness. Yet what can it become aware of if it does not bend and witness itself? How can it bend and witness itself without shaping? It must make itself matter. It must matter to itself by witnessing itself in form. The pyramid shape that is based on the golden ratio is this eternal building block. You can see it in the pictures of the golden ratio—a shape within a shape within a shape.
So, no, the pyramid does not lose its power—nor does it degrade. It is a shape made of copper for us to tune into. If you ever find yourself feeling as if the pyramid has somehow lost something in terms of power, it is you who has somehow disengaged from the experience either consciously or unconsciously—either deliberately or subconsciously. What can cause (or seem to cause) this?
Possible Causes for “Lack of Power”
The first possible cause that comes to mind for me is that we have moved from one developmental level to another one. It is like the chakra system where it is a about degrees of refinement as each chakra moving upward is more subtle than the one before (i.e. less obvious). The answer to this is patience, trust and diligent attention. The second possible cause that comes to mind is that we need to “put the bottle down to see what it is we are drinking.” The answer to this is to put the bottle down (i.e. step away from the pyramid for a while—give it a rest).
The third and final possible cause that I will address here is that there are other things in our lives that need attention. Pyramid work does not happen in a vacuum. We need to apply what we have “got in touch with” in our actual lives and introduce what we have learned vertically (in meditation) into what we have built horizontally (the tangible structure of our bodies in space, in relationship and in community).
In conclusion, if your copper pyramid seems to be failing, know and trust that the shape has not changed, you have and likely in a good way. If you spend time in it regardless of whether it is clear to you how you are benefiting, trust that you are still benefiting—just in a less obvious (to you) way. In time, if you are patient and practicing a fair amount of mindfulness, you will learn of what it offers next.
