The time has come for me to bring closure to this series of posts.
After 99 consecutive weeks of thinking and blogging about approaching a culminating realization of the ultimate in personal fulfillment, I have come to the following two conclusions:
- such ultimate realization is possible, depending on what is defined as ultimate
- such an approach is best viewed and treated as organic, not unlike a tree at its peak
Allow me to address each of these in turn before I (a) conclude my ongoing narrative, and (b) indicate where I go from here (i.e., completing the building of the structure of my outline).
Early in this series (Ultimate Fulfillment 14), I made a distinction between No Self and True Self.
What I didn’t realize at the time was that this distinction can be informed by two very different fundamental polarities in two distinct octaves when viewed in a cosmic context.
Imagine one universe (one version of the multiverse) where the key polarity of consciousness is one of “moving or being moved” (to quote Ra from the Law of One series). In this universe, at the height of fulfillment, there is no sense of Self, or No Self, as moving, mover, and moved are experienced as One.
Imagine a succeeding universe (our version of the multiverse) where the key polarity of consciousness is Service to Self or Service to Other. In this universe, at the peak of fulfillment, there must needs be a True Self that is realized, which requires that Self and Other be experienced as separate, even exclusive.
The exemplar in the first universe is the Zen Master, a soul from the previous iteration of the multiverse who has generously agreed to play a key role in supporting the evolution of consciousness in this universe. If the Law of One series is taken to heart, then the exemplar in our universe is what I would call the Saint of Compassion and Wisdom, or better yet, the Saint who embodies Compassionate Wisdom.
Here, we have two models of ultimate fulfillment: the first is wholly impersonal, the second is wholly transpersonal.
Which begs the question: what about the personal and interpersonal dimensions of encounter (via heart and soul) and experience (via mind and spirit)? How might these two dimensions be pegged, in terms of feeling and desire, to a culminating realization of the ultimate in fulfillment?
These are questions that I will attempt to answer definitively in the weeks and months (and years?) to come (clearly, concisely, comprehensively, and extensively), using the two forementioned models of ultimate fulfillment as guideposts, with a view towards creating a universal model of ultimate fulfillment that is suitable for expanding and evolving with the key polarity in our iteration of the multiverse.
As mentioned above, I will be viewing and treating my approach as organic, not unlike a tree at its peak, in full bloom, with the roots serving as an analogy for the basis of ultimate fulfillment, with the trunk and branches serving as an analogy for the essence of ultimate fulfillment, and with the presentation of twigs, leaves, flowers and/or fruit serving as an analogy for the ideal of ultimate fulfillment.
A question that arises in my organic approach is this: how do I incorporate the polarity of STS or STO into my life, to maintain individuality authentically and autonomously while serving others positively and profoundly?
Because we live in a universe characterized primarily by the polarity of Service to Self or Service to Other, we have need of individuating the Self from the Other: someone who concentrates primarily on serving the basis of fulfillment is drawn to embody a root-based divinity; someone who concentrates primarily on serving the essence of fulfillment is drawn to embody a heart-focused divinity; and someone who concentrates primarily on serving the ideal of fulfillment is drawn to embody a crown-inspired divinity.
Aside: I spoke to these three categories of divinity in this (vitally important) post about six months ago
If individuation requires separation (to serve Self), then separation requires integration (to serve Other).
I might serve myself first by remaining separate from others long enough to learn how to embody a sense of autonomy or I might serve myself first by remaining separate from others long enough to learn what it means to serve others profoundly. Likewise, I might serve others first by remaining dependent on others long enough to learn how to embody a sense of community or I might serve others first by remaining dependent on others long enough to learn what it means to serve myself profoundly.
Consider the following reframing of the STS and STO polarity …
Serving myself first …
positive STS, stage 1: embody a sense of authenticity and autonomy
positive STS, stage 2: learn what it means to serve others profoundlyServing others first …
positive STO, stage 1: embody a sense of harmony within community
positive STO, stage 2: learn what it means to serve myself profoundlyServing neither myself nor others first …
spontaneous STS*: I serve myself positively and profoundly whenever I feel inclined to do so
spontaneous STO*: I serve others positively and profoundly whenever I feel inclined to do so* a spontaneous orientation is especially useful for frequent and/or extensive solo travel
This schema offers four benefits …
- it eliminates negative bias against serving yourself first;
- it eliminates the false dichotomy between STS and STO;
- it serves to expose the premediated use of STO to compensate for negative STS; and
- it fosters individuation in tandem with the three categories of divinity (see above)
In this light, the polarity between STS and STO ceases to be polarizing, unless you find it instructive and helpful to view it and treat it as such, which is to say that if you feel inclined to treat STS as negative, then by all means do so, on your way to learning how to adopt stage 1 and/or stage 2 of positive STS, and if you feel inclined to treat spontaneous STS/STO as willy nilly, then by all means do so, on your way to learning where and when and how to follow your heart positively and profoundly regardless of which orientation (STS or STO?) you choose to follow.
In third density, which is where we are now, everything said and done is primed, proudly and pretentiously, with relevance and significance for being relevant and feeling significant. This is stage 1 STS, and any push to enter fourth density is a corresponding push into stage 2 STS.
In fourth density, which is where many of us are headed now, everything said and done is primed with a need or a desire to understand and appreciate how we are all One. This is stage 1 STO, and any push to enter fifth density would be a corresponding push into stage 2 STO.
In making a collective transition from 3D to 4D, we would do well to concentrate our efforts on fostering one of the following three options for the evolution of our kind: (a) stage 2 STS, (b) stage 1 STO, and (c) a spontaneous yet stable and consistent application of STS or STO.
Currently, the world is in transition, from a 3D civilization to a 4D civilization. The older ones among us are feeling the burden of exposing the old to make way for the new; the younger ones among us are feeling the burden of realizing that the world is not at all what we think it is.
Be that as it may, any structured approach towards a culminating realization of the ultimate in personal fulfillment must be cognizant of this transition into a fundamentally new way of being and becoming, having and doing, evolving and expanding, cultivating and celebrating.
And now for the conclusion of my narrative, which picks up from here …
Note: disturbing content ahead; reader and viewer discretion is advised
The magical child approaches Sophia, stands before her for a moment, and then smiles, stepping into Sophia to embrace her. Sophia returns the favor, clasping his head gently and holding him close.
Slowly, the magical child is released from the embrace, steps away and turns to me, extending his hand, which I clasp in a gesture of friendship.
“Welcome back,” he says with a knowing smile.
I bow slightly. “Thank you.” I gesture to Sophia. “We had quite the adventure.”
“I knew you had it within you to make it back,” he assures.
“I, however, did not know, which it made it all the more exciting,” I respond.
The magical child laughs delightedly, raising his arms expansively, magnanimously, to encompass the two of us: “your presence is requested in the village.”
I look to Sophia. “I am delighted to return, and I am almost sure that Sophia will likewise be delighted to make her presence known.”
In a flash, the three of us return to the dome made of sandstone. The magical child invites us to enter, but instead of leaving like he did before, he stands between us, Sophia and I, and the group of eight seated at the roundtable, as if to serve as a kind of mediator for what is to come.
The man who initiated contact in my previous encounter speaks for the first time: “We know that time is short on your planet, and so we shall endeavor to be as brief and to the point as possible.” He pauses for effect. “We understand that your world faces a momentous turning point.”
I take up the exchange: “Yes, not only that, but many types of people are being quietly and covertly murdered to keep The Agenda and The Program alive.”
A woman speaks: “By agenda, we understand that you mean the agenda to reduce your numbers on earth, and by program, we understand that you mean the program to improve genetic fitness and diversity.”
I nod. “Yes, this is correct, all in accordance with the first two guidelines on the Georgia Guidestones.”
Another woman speaks: “Is it not the case, however, that those who favor The Agenda and The Program are also being murdered?”
I turn to face the woman. “Again, yes. A quiet yet deadly war is being fought for control of the planet, for deciding the fate of the planet for the next 100 years, and we …” I place my arm around Sophia, pressing her close “… are concerned for the welfare and well-being of our planet.”
Sophia speaks up, turning to the man who began the exchange: “The turning point of which you speak involves a decision that will determine the fate of humanity on earth for centuries to come.”
The man nods responsively: “please speak to the nature of this decision.”
Sophia looks to me for support, and I respond thus: “The decision is a delicate one. Much has been hidden from the bulk of humanity for many decades, at least since the infamous Roswell incident, if not before. To wit: do We the People demand full and immediate disclosure of all that has been hidden from humanity so that humanity can thrive like never before, or …” I pause for emphasis … “do We the People allow a partial and prolonged disclosure over the course of decades to come, presumably to soften the blow of discovery for those too fragile to accept it?”
“What do you think, Christos?”, the man asks simply.
I take a breath.
“On the dark side, a full and immediate disclosure might pose a risk of global chaos, one that could not be contained once it is released from the box of Pandora. On the bright side, such a disclosure could unleash a heady rush of peace, progress, and prosperity that would not only wake people up from the slumber of their enslavement but also push them to live, love, and learn in ways never before imagined.”
Before I can continue, the man prompts as follows: “might a slower, softer disclosure be better suited for your kind?”
I look to Sophia, and she responds as follows: “Softer, bit by precious bit perhaps, but slower? I have my doubts that it could be slower.”
“As do I.”
I continue: “Most people on our planet are living under the illusion that we are in danger of running out of oil, when in fact suppressed and powerful free energy technologies await us; most of us are living under the illusion that we have no cures for what ails us, when in fact powerful healing technologies could end all manner of disease and disability almost overnight; most of us are living under the illusion that we do not have enough food and water when in fact powerful matter conversion technologies could feed each and every one of us in a very short time; most of us are living under the illusion that we have no means by which to occupy or inhabit other moons and planets in our solar system and beyond, when in fact powerful transport technologies could easily deal with any surge in population that ensues from the introduction of the technologies already mentioned. Once true disclosure begins with hard evidence, even a little, and without attempts to obfuscate it, the momentum that it gains in a short time would likely make a full and immediate disclosure inevitable.”
“What seems to be the problem?,” another man asks. “As a species, what are you all waiting for?”
Sophia speaks up in a forceful tone before I have a chance to respond: “The planet is in lockdown. Up until now, a tiny minority on the planet has controlled and manipulated the flow of money and information with an iron fist, even with alternate news and views streaming through the internet, all in service to realizing The Hidden Agenda and The Secret Program, possibly by the year 2030. This tiny minority is being opposed, however, by a large earth-based and secret space-based alliance of loosely connected groups in favor of introducing a new financial system already in place that eliminates the petro dollar to restore prosperity worldwide, which alliance in turn is being infiltrated by agents of the tiny minority to accept and allow a limited disclosure of hidden truths over a period of one hundred years.”
I pick up where Sophia leaves off: “the problem with this proposal is that it doesn’t take account of the consequences of keeping The Agenda and The Program in place. How many of us have to die before we can prosper in peace? How much more cultural diversity can we take, given how difficult it can be to force the necessary adjustments in terms of age, class, race, and gender? How many more of us have to suffer the message “only the strong will survive” to improve genetic fitness? How many more decadent hollywood movies do we have to watch before we realize what is really going on behind the scenes? How many more gender wars do we have to fight before we realize we’re all being taken for a ride, before we realize that we’re all being played for the sake of keeping our numbers down?”
Frowning, the magical child leans back into Sophia and I as we take him into our loving embrace.
A grim silence descends on us all as we take the time to absorb the blows from these questions.
In my next post, I resume the task of building a structure (on the premise that “structure determines behavior”) for my approach to realize the ultimate in personal fulfillment using this outline.
Note: my evolving outline on the ultimate in personal fulfillment can now be found here, accessible from the nav menu under “Be Here Now”. I’ll be sure to inform readers of any updates.
