Just like intelligence is overestimated, so is the so-called 'spirit of civilization' in humanity.
If there is a place where planet Earth reveals itself as the 'planet of suffering', as mystics have always called it, this place is the Quarter of Civilization. The only thing that changes here from one gate to the next are the differences in the triggers for suffering, but there seems to be no escape from it. We all suffer when it comes to manifesting the potential of our form as individuals.
The Role of Civilization in Human Disappointment
Civilization is responsible for every level of disappointment in human beings; you can ask any good Reflector. It is the charade where the pretended superiority of mind over form is played out on a daily basis, in every home of every family, in every country of this world. And it isn't getting any better, or is it?
The Impact of Pre-Established Roles and Rules
This is the place where homogenized human consciousness is literally framed and packaged with honor and pride, as the pre-established roles and rules are played out by every good father and mother in the examples that they establish for their children through the way they see them interact with the rest of the world.
The Lack of Rights in Civilization
Children have no rights in Civilization, and neither do women. Not really. In most countries, including some of the most modern in the western world, their rights do not even assure them sovereignty over their own bodies.
A History of Violence and Destruction
I do not think that I need to go much into how the whole history of all civilizations is a history of violence and destruction, but rather I would like to explain why it could have never been much different from how it is today.
Civilization as a Manifestation of Vane Beliefs
You see, we are living in a program. Civilization is nothing but the helpless manifestation of humanity’s vane beliefs in old dogmas. Not only that, but those dogmas are based on imaginary orders that originated so far back in the past that we can’t really know nor remember it.
The Purpose of Form in Civilization
After we have fulfilled the purpose of mind and brought about an expansion in our individual mental horizon through the ‘Quarter of Initiation,’ the program wants us to materialize that mental sense of purpose in the world of pure form.
The Irony of Mental and Form Purpose
It is one of those ironies that reveal that the program never wanted us to wake up as a species because while the mental purpose in Initiation is carried out through a collective direction (Gate 13), the purpose of form in Civilization is carried out through a direction that is entirely individual (Gate 2).
The Suffering of Individual Lives
That is basically like saying that every generation of humans is designed to suffer by trying to live their individual lives by the limited perspective of the homogenized roles established by its social group in the previous generation.
The Foundational Building Block of Civilization: The Family
Every vehicle comes with its driver, and every human life that is born into the world of form is a journey towards a secure death, no matter how mindful one wants to be about it.
The Role of Penta Group Dynamics
Gate 2 is the gate of the driver, yes, but it is also the core of Penta group dynamics, and gate 8 is its lock in the world of form. Together they drive the process of everything we learn about the world of form in the secure realm of family in the first seven years of life.
The Influence of Family on Individual Identity
This is where children learn to identify with the world that they grow up to be familiar with, and learn to imitate and project the fears of their families onto the forms that are different from the ones that they have come to know in their limited perspective.
Quarter of Civilization and individual gates: The Creative Expansion of Humanity
Through the set of four individual gates that start this quarter (Gates 2, 23, 8 & 20), Civilization develops and empowers its foundational building block with every new generation; the family as an institution, and the minimum social cell in which every individual is taught how to fit in with the small group.
The Dynamics of Material Expansion
It is only through the second block of 4 gates (16, 35, 45 & 12) that humanity has acquired the ability to deal and interact creatively with forces that are different from one’s ‘own’.
The Evolutionary Stagnation Post-1781
The four gates that are part of this second group have carried this material expansion out through the dynamics of the Manifestor spirit until 1781, but since then humanity has been increasingly stuck in evolutionary terms, divided into those who have the good fortune in one way or another to embrace the nine-centered mutation that is underway, and those who are simply suffering the worst manifestation of humanity’s extremes; the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots.’
The Lost Spirit of Humanity
This is all part of what made Civilization ‘get lost’ in the materialistic realm before meeting the true anti-mundane qualities of the love of humanity that can be found in gate 15.
Now we still have the same problems as there were in a world of believers, only now we no longer have a god or an ideology to hold on to as a belief that carries absolute value.
The Impact of Capitalism and Science on Evolution
If over 2000 years ago Lao-Tzu could sense that humanity was losing touch with the natural order, the marriage between capitalism and science – brought about by the industrial revolution – has not only blocked the evolutionary wheel of human consciousness at the level of survival, but it has also given the power to multinational corporations to determine the politics of almost every government in the world.
A Dead End in Evolutionary Terms
Getting to this point, it is clear to me that I am painting a dead-end street situation in evolutionary terms, where humanity as a whole truly has no choice but to remain locked in the material world of choices, lost forever in the most primal fears of survival.
The Potential for a New Approach
You see, if the program wanted humanity to wake up and become more AWARE, it is through the next group of 4 gates that it would be digging in the world of form trying to find a ‘new’ approach that would bring more balance to the extremes shown in the previous image.
A whole new world could have arisen here if women had not given away their YIN power more than 2000 years ago to the monotheistic spirit of the masculine powers that shaped our families and societies until today.
Instead of dealing wisely with the eternal pressures of life, we have simply accelerated our process growing accustomed to ‘living in a hurry.’
The Dehumanization of Mass Production
Follow the link attached here and watch a video of the metropolitan in Shanghai at 07:00 in the morning on an average working day, and see how we give ourselves the same horrible treatment as we give to the other species that we feed on. The machinery of mass production has grown to such levels of sophistication that it is totally dehumanized. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG-meaGqg-M)
The Final Group of Four Gates: Mass Thinking
Well, from here there is only one way to go when going back to the throat in the next and final group of four gates (62, 56, 31 & 33).
That is, we move on to mass thinking and the perpetuation of false role models in the name of political correctness and material progress.
The Collective Roles That Shaped Our Species
If you only consider the four gates that are harmonics to this last group, what you get are opinions (Gate 17) and Ideas (Gate 11) excusing and justifying the lameness of the same old collective roles (Gates 7 and 13) that have gotten us into the mess we’re in as a species.
A Lover of Human Differentiation
I think I made it clear from the beginning that I wasn’t going to paint a sweet and romantic picture of Civilization, but who would expect that from a lover of human differentiation?
This does not mean, however, that I do not love being part of humanity, or that I do not appreciate and even enjoy so many of its impressive achievements on the material plane.
Zero Expectations, Infinite Value
But it certainly means that, as my expectations of this material world of ours getting any better than it has always been have moved slowly but definitely down to zero, my capacity to value the world of form and rejoice in what is absolutely priceless about it – namely my own form as a medium for my experience – has increased proportionally.
The Value of Form and Self-Realization
It is the greatest of jokes that the only form we can never look at objectively is our own. That is what makes it so difficult to appreciate the value of having one.
It is only when you live long enough by the consistency of your Strategy and Authority, that you identify so deeply with the unique frequency of your own form that you actually ‘become it’ to the fullest of your being.
Freedom from Suffering
This is the moment your mind is freed from the burdens of the suffering that comes with being born and living on the material plane, and you wake up every day to a world of your own, where all you see in your personal life is nothing but a reflection of the spirit you are putting out with each and every breath that you take.
