Survival
Almost constant worry – about various issues: whether there will be enough money, whether the spouse will leave, whether the spouse will cheat, whether the children will get sick, whether I will start aging earlier, whether I will be perceived as ugly, whether I will gain weight, whether I will lose potency, whether I will be fired, whether I will recoup my investment, whether my partner will back out of the deal, whether there will be a bad harvest, whether the oil price will spike…
This is a state of ensuring the minimum necessary level of life to sustain existence. For different people, it’s different. But what unites all these people is one thing: they either dig or have already dug themselves a burrow where it’s warm and cozy and they can live until old age – and they sit in it and don’t want the burrow to change: after all, then survival will be threatened, and they’ll need to create new conditions to ensure a sense of safe existence until the end of their lives.
Flight (existence) in the stream
Trust in the Universe (God, the Cosmos, one’s own responsibility for one’s life), which – now – takes care itself to ensure that existence is successfully maintained and its level doesn’t drop at least, but preferably rises, creating a “cushion” of buffer convertible energy (most often, this is money).
In this state, worry is “released.” It can arise to varying degrees depending on one’s skill in existing at this level (the more experience in flying, the less worry arises, but it’s precisely at this level that worry is eliminated). Survival comes easily to such people, so the question of survival is no longer really there.
Often without much tension or effort on the person’s part to search for means of existence, they arise on their own. At this level, a person often stops “working for money” because gradually (at different speeds for different people), the “monad flips” from “survival to creativity” – and if a person continues to work, it’s for pleasure, and money comes as a side effect of enjoying what one does.
Creativity in flight
Mastery of life is the level at which a person completely steps out of the “survival” mode, and “existence in the stream” undergoes a qualitative transformation on a meaningful level. At this stage, a person’s existence is defined: survival is inevitable and the question of it doesn’t even come up. A person stops being what society conventionally considers a person and becomes a Creator not only of their own life but of everything existing in the reality available to their perception.
They begin to create beyond the scope of “necessary” for survival creativity – projects that impact communities around the person and even communities they have no direct relation to, but whose fate affects them. A person’s life transforms into a multitude of opportunities for other people; in this process, a person’s ego dissolves and they become pure Space, Possibility, Creativity, simply Love.
Of course, between these three main stages, there are intermediate ones, and there are no clear boundaries.
