Each of the single digit numbers, 0-9, has a corresponding shape. The pentagon, obviously, is the shape used to visually represent the theme of level, stage, grade, classroom, lesson,…5.
Some of the word labels associated with level five are: “belonging,” “intimacy” and “engagement.” These themes are not absent in previous lessons, grades and classrooms, they are just not the dominant themes and, indeed, cannot really be fully expressed without some foundation on the previous developments.
Individuality requires division and duality, a “self” and a “not-self” or an “I” and a “You.” For the sake of word play, let’s refer to “You” as “U.”
Now we have I and U, the self and that which is perceived as ‘not-self,’ on the bridge, often in conflict. Sometimes in harmony. On the bridge, there are two basic courses of action I take when with U. One can be characterized as an Attachment theme: “wherever u-go, i-go.” And then there is the Separation theme: “i-go my way and u-go your way.”
Attachment and separation arise from Individuality. Attachment and separation are 4th level, stage, grade, classroom, school, kingdom themes. Everybody deals with them, to varying degrees, throughout the lifespan. Attachment. Separation.
The antithesis of individuality is, to the individual consciousness, death. Identity, another Stage 4 theme, is threatened when individuality even begins to hint at dissolving into something larger, more comprehensive, more complete, and far less differentiated.
As Hianims, we have our feet in two worlds. We are a bridge between The 3 Above and The 3 Below, That in itself is a division and a duality; but, that’s the way hanim consciousness works…
These groups of three’s are referred to as a Complex. And, of course, there are complexes within complexes because ultimately, it is one system, with many complex parts, operating as a whole systemic complexity. The lower three complexes, referred to as the lower triplex, the bridge, the three above, the higher triplex, and the transcendental triplex, are all operative, all the time. It’s just a matter of the framework in which our consciousness is functioning…or, if you will, conditioned, contained, constrained, bound to, limited by and karmicaly restricted. Here we are, stuck on the bridge, with decisions to make about ‘me’ and ‘we.’
Hianims fabricate; psyche-logically i.e., in the psyche, which has its own kind of logic. The psychelogical fabrications we create are in such a high animated fashion that the fabrications appear as real and solid. Our most fundamental fabrication is a “self” an “I” which necessitates the existence of a dualistic counterpart, a “not-self” or “not-I.” The fabrication of this duality, the “I” and the “not-I” is the basis of individuality, i.e., in division and duality.
Individuality is one of the over-arching themes in the 4th School, and the 4th Classroom, and 4th Grade, and in lesson four. Hianims comprise the 4th Kingdom, so you can bet Individuality (and it’s dualistic counterpart, Collectivity) can be observed in the activities of people and nations.
Based on the previously posted information, let’s continue to pretend that the Human Campus has Seven Schools each of which contain Seven Classrooms consisting of Seven Grades in which Seven Lessons are learned. These lessons are broad over-arching themes that all humans, individually and collectively, deal with, repeatedly. Occult evolutionary theory suggests that the human race, as a kingdom inhabited with ‘beings,”ever matriculating higher, is in the 4th School, 5th Classroom, 4th Grade.
Some of the word themes applicable at the 4th complex is “individuality,” “achievement,” identity” and “esteem.” From toddlers to senior citizens, these psyche-logical themes manifest in a variety of behaviors and interactions to varying degrees, throughout the lifespan.
It’s easy to lose track of what is important, to seek what we don’t need in hopes of finding happiness. As the philospher/psychologist Eric Fromm is noted to have said:
“You can never get enough of what you don’t need to make you happy.”
Its easy to forget our dependence upon water….and yet, it is all around us, in the air, in the soil, in our bodies…..as the saying goes, ‘by water, all things have life.’
…”And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot; And thereby hangs a tale…” – William Shakespeare
And yet, the human kingdom, the consciousness which animates all kingdoms, remains and remains giving rise to myriad forms through arechetypal developmental stages through the eons…..
The human kingdom is situated at stage 4 and all the archetypal themes relevant to that stage of development apply to us as humans on a broad general basis. The developmental tasks, needs motivations and paths for humans apply to all of us. Of course, within that human kingdom, which we might call 4th Grade, there are 7 classrooms i.e., developmental stages, through which we, as humans, metriculate.
Occult evolutionary theory suggests that the humans comprise a kingdom within itself. One of the key demarcations between animals and humans is the psyche-logical animation. Humans are very highly psyche-logically animated. Animals are low animated in psyche. So, for sake of word play, the human kingdom is referred to as the high animated, i.e., Hianim, Kingdom, and we humans, hianims.
The Hianim Kingdom is the bridge between the lower 1st, 2nd and 3rd complexes, animals (loanims), plants and minerals, and the higher 5th, 6th and 7th complexes, etherials, angels and celestials.
