There are seven layers in the pyramid leading up to bliss. We are going to explore the different levels and decide where we are and discuss how to go into bliss. These energy centre or layers in the pyramid correspond with the seven centers of energy in the Vedic system. Each Centre represents an emotional state as well as a state of the desire. As we fulfill the needs of each Centre, we move up in energy till we reach a state of fulfillment. This is also known as self-actualization

Instead of starting at the bottom of the pyramid and trying gradually go up and up in life, we can turn our focus inward and experience our true state, which is bliss. When we are in bliss, top of the pyramid, all our true desires will be fulfilled, everything in the pyramid automatically comes to us. Bliss is experiencing, being happy, being satisfied.

We always go from down to top because we listen to ego. When we are with our self, not trying to prove, when we listen to our heart, we can come from top to bottom. When you have oneness and compassion we can achieve bliss. Changing the object is never a solution. Changing the attitude is the solution. By understanding ourselves, we will understand the world

Keep a picture or object in front of the mirror and ask each child to see the image in the mirror and draw the picture on the paper with pencil or sketch. Explain to the children we see our friends, relatives and mirror their desires as our desires

Explain to the child about the pyramid of desire. Encourage each child to cut a triangular shape in the chart with safety scissors and ask them to divide the triangle and write the components of the pyramid of desire.

When you are honest and integrated with the desire, there is no conflict. When we have a true desire, we must channel it properly, put it into action and use it for the good of all.

The knowledge and action should also be in tune with the desire energy. Then it forms a circle of desire leading to better knowledge and action, which in turn leads to clearer desires!

We need to think about our desires, and find out if what we desire is in tune with what is good for us, what is the right thing and important thing for our lives? The desire that is pure and not directed towards any particular object or person is simply an overflowing energy that is called the "desire energy".

From the navel center comes the pure energy. In the heart region, this energy gets converted to the power of desire. This further gets converted into words in the throat region. When this energy gets converted into words, it is called the speech energy.

The speech energy moves further to the brain, there it stays as the power of knowledge and the option is for the energy to get converted into a command and get executed. This is the power of action. If the energy is not processed and changed properly, the knowledge and action become disconnected.

The difference between need and desire is complicated with greed. We may need clothing and shelter, but to have greed is to always want more and more of each item, or greed to live in a big mansion which is not necessary.
