CONTEXTUAL
For individuals+civilizations in the Contextual Awareness, a search for the higher perspective or "scheme of things" begins, and life is all about Holism. The focus now is on resolving all contradictions, paradoxes and discrepancies we face to wholly understand the Truths of Life and come to the Essence of it all.
Thus, the extremes here are of Truth and Terror- as we finally begin to COMPREHEND all choices & consequences as they play out in the bigger picture.
---
This perspective says: "There is you and me, and the greater context we’re all a part of." But it also emphasizes the necessity to navigate between & include all awareness's before it as part of that context.
In a way, life is navigated Orally, through Smell/Taste- as all the flavors that life has to offer are seen as things one is continually learning to enjoy, love and accept the full and deep richness of. This also tends to be a time when people start to be truly present in their body- so that they remember+recover a sense of sheer pleasure, happiness, play & reunion in simply being alive.
Considering this broad-picture way of thinking, the Contextual Awareness eats knowing that food/fuel, familiarity, satisfaction and empathy all play a part in your day-to-day diet- and chooses to be Adaptable to your various nutritional needs & desires as you move with the changing waves of life.
​
​
Anything of "Spirit" tends to be profoundly accepted+loved, and is more like a deep trust in self- or soft intuition.
There is no urgency, fantasy, theatrics, call to rescue the world, secrecy, recruitment, warnings, advice/instruction etc.-
only spiritual support, insight, guidance, influence and resources that are invited, received and applied as you need to access them, on your own terms, through your own choices.
--- ~~~ ---
This Awareness tends to be built around+shaped by your Attitude(Perspectives/Philosophies), finding challenges to and seeking flexibility in those- and this is supported or challenged by your Goal(Ambitions/Pursuits), played out in your Mode(Relationships), and processed or corrected by changes in your Body Type(Behaviors/Health).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NEGATIVE SPECTRUM
In -Exclusion, you become overwhelmed by the terror of truly Comprehending+Accepting even the worst parts of Yourself- Seeing the Bigger Picture through all the Illusions you desperately want to hold on to- and reconciling the fact that your & everyone else's existence play such a Small Part in the Universe.
So you feel you care too much to the point you just live+eat in ways that wish to Resign from it all.
ie: Eating just to eat, defending food/life routines, compulsively challenging or condemning diets/lifestyles based in compassion and awareness & diminishing the impact Sentience has on caring for the body and planet.
---
Exclusion forces you to disengage, detach and alienate yourself from the world- because you see bigger picture perspectives that render everything you used to know as meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
And you can feel that the world just believes ridiculous illusions about life when you now know there are larger truths and contexts to consider and comprehend.
You segregate yourself to avoid expressing your truths then- as it's uncomfortable, terrifying and painful to share, reveal and work through them: especially with those who are still "asleep", whose less evolved reactions & philosophies you must constantly navigate.
To make up for this isolation and loneliness, you may even resort to forming secret or imaginary relationships- while
only seeking refuge+intimacy in those who're like-minded and "feel safe" so that you can avoid participating in the world that you feel spiritually evolved/distanced from.
This same existential terror, stagnation and segregation is also true on a collective level- resulting in profound -Apathy.
​
POSITIVE SPECTRUM
A shift into +Inclusion means you own your responsibility to care, and recognize that you do care.
You use all that you've gained from your growing awareness to include and integrate all people & perspectives as parts of the greater whole.
And you support your needs & desires to nurture life, nostalgia, pleasure and sensitivity as they arise, by eating & living in ways that contribute to the Overall Health and Harmony of your Whole Body, Mind and Life.
This means you're able to adapt to any extremes shaking up your heart, mind, body or world- while still making the most conscious, informed choices you can in those contexts.
So you draw from past experience as in context to be free+let yourself loose; sustain civility, law+order; be able to have, compete+contribute; and generate sensitive empathy, activism+awareness.
​
Inclusion aims to lighten up about any turbulence in the world, instead choosing to work on Self-Acceptance.
Thus you now work hard to transform how you are so that you can align with more responsible perspectives/choices- and be a light that can help awaken yourself & everyone else to be more present, conscious and responsible for their contribution to the spiritual evolution of sentience, life & the universe.
You start to embrace the truth of your+others innocent essence- seeing everyone as being a fragile creature filled with wounding/fear & creative potential, while also having an eternal, multidimensional soul with a higher perspective that trusts how everything fits together & knows all are ultimately safe.
---
Collectively, there is profound care, response-ability and value seen in all experience- and an ever-growing +Holistic Understanding that all of one's choices in action or inaction, matter & make up the greater patterns in life.
COLLECTIVE LEVEL
Building upon the paradigm of Citizenry, Conscious Participation and Contributing, this is a time where civilization has truly mastered its energy sources & environment or reverted back to a simpler more natural lifestyle.
In any way it comes about, there is a stability in place to create an economy based on holistic WISDOM and COMMUNICATION, as well as Imagination, Humor and opportunity for Experience.
​
With so much gained over lifetimes and millennia- privacy, ownership and competition wane in interest and necessity.
Body image issues now lose all footing; clothing becomes optional; and all resources are used+borrowed as they're available or needed for defense against actual known threats (not speculative threats of paranoia)- without any debt/exploitation and very little attachment to, expectation of or demand for "things".
---
Social structures & arts become far more amorphous, spontaneous, interactive and collaborative now- as locking anything into a rigid form that's untouched & preserved forever is no longer seen to reflect beauty/order in the same way that constant change/evolution can express.
Each person is free to collaborate in, interact with & contribute to the art of life in unique ways- with each experience and lifetime being completely original & adding something awesome to the larger tapestry.
​
​
CONTEXTUAL ECONOMY
This Awareness creates True Anarchy, better seen as a form of Tribalism where there's no longer a discernible authority/leader, simply a network of autonomous people & tribal groups in cooperation and mutual understanding- wherein each can choose, ponder and share freely, learning from & communicating with one another.
---
In an Economy based on Holism & Communicating Context, all resources tend to be looked at in terms of how they can aid experience, invite wisdom and share imagination- and all people come to be seen as multi-dimensional beings who are always learning+evolving together.
This awareness has built so much empathy, that it instead focuses on why it cares so much and how it can care more- and love is comprehended as being a beautiful truth that fuels every aspect of life.
There is an understanding that each being exists "for their own truth/reason" you need not understand- only love- and that all of them experience life in a vastly unique and awesome way.
​
Like Relationship, the Contextual is adaptive to all Awareness' preceding it, and will adapt to any societal or global
paradigm it is a part of & discuss how to improve it, or move on to create better structures+contexts of living.
A person with this awareness benefits from either seeing how any experience can be embraced as a rich resource to learn/create from- or drawing from the rich resource of experience they already have to expand solutions, feelings, perspectives etc.
---
The Internet is a precursory example of all this, due to the wide source of resources freely available to barter, offer, receive and draw from with very few (if any) conditions- all aimed in the name of being, doing, having or knowing an enormous range of experiences.
7 LEVELS
​The 7 Levels of the Contextual Awareness help describe how you resolve the Essence of TRUTHS.
Which includes how you learn to simply embody the truth of fully and wholly BEING helpful, who you need, loving, intimate, honest, aware and/or whole.
Level 1- Awakening to Holism
Here you begin to glimpse your small part in the BIGGER PICTURE of the cosmos & start to discover invisible threads of universality that seem to connect all of life's disparate parts.
But you're horrified by the prospect of sorting through even more confusion because of this & are exhausted by making any more sense of life's complex and complicated truths- reducing all these messy threads to something
-Simple you can grasp & identify with.
Having "come so far" in life, you yearn for a sense of HOME that you know isn't found where you are.
So you now work on the daunting task of exploring and emphasizing the truth of your+everyone else's +Purpose in the grand scheme- as being part of more than an intense universal soap opera.
---
On Collective levels, a perpetually solution-based bigger picture is gradually introduced by the Contextual in a way that relieves all the drama, sensitivity, tragedy and intensity of the Relationship-based Awareness- in favor of directly seeing and knowing the simple truths of existence.
Humor becomes ever-more important as a powerful tool to transform deeply complicated perceptions & relations- and as everyone "lightens up", the past comes to be looked back upon in shared comical HILARITY because "If we knew then what we know now!"
​
Level 2- Comparing Holism
As you dabble in, compare and contrast this new context of living, you -Balance the truth that you desire emotionally intense intimacy with the higher perspective you're now coming to know that transcends all that relationship "drama"- working to bring +Stability to this seeming contradiction.
Eventually though, you understand that everything is part of a UNIVERSAL WHOLE greater than the sum of its parts- so this higher perspective is seen to include all the cons and pros of previous awareness's & stops feeling like a terrifying imposition that strips away the meaning of your relationships/choices.
​
Instead, it becomes a source of wisdom and awe-inspiring beauty that you love learning about.
So you process any guilt and grief over moving into a space of non-attachment to concerns that seemed so immediate+urgent to act upon before.
---
On Collective levels, the sentience/community works on INCLUDING BOTH the Relational's active involvement to dramatically reach out- and the Contextual's ability to see the bigger picture & passively "be and let be"- as universally valid truths about all economic, social and spiritual matters.
This creates a series of realizations that the world is truly created by what one makes of it and believes it to be, and not everything "needs" to be so serious anymore. The pressing events in life now lighten up because higher patterns are finally seen- but much grief is felt in this transition.
Level 3- Holistic Introspection
Settling into this awareness, you start to move away from defining life by constant efforts to reconcile everyone's intense & dramatic feelings/relationships- instead exposing yourself to new ideas & ideals about universal patterns that appeal to, but also challenge you.
In -Versatility, you internally struggle with resolving CONFLICTING TRUTHS that are arising about you, others, life etc. as you explore this- feeling that you're collecting a bunch of isolated concepts, confusing paradoxes, inconsistencies that put you at odds with others, and discrepancies that make no sense.
But as you bring these various truths, ideas and possibilities about the bigger picture into cohesion & comprehension- you discover that you can't simply collect ideas, but must do the work of applying+testing them out as well, to better own & understand how they fit into the wholeness of your self, soul and world.
So +Enterprise here, describes how you aim towards including all the parts/pieces of truth you know into an interconnected tapestry & practice making choices from this higher perspective of holistic knowledge.
---
On Collective levels, the sentience/community begins to see that EVERY EXPERIENCE that's ever occurred has been passively allowed or actively chosen- has been a rich resource for the species to draw from and create their existence- and has contributed a great range of evolution for everyone.
People now emphasize how this reveals new truths about their place in the unfolding evolution of life.
So the path and discovery of SELF-ACTUALIZATION and SELF-TRANSCENDENCE is treated as an art exemplifying one's unique expression of something greater- and a responsibility showing how one harnesses their imagination, humor and wisdom to create & evolve the world.
​
Level 4- Absolute Expression of Holism
By this point, you've gone through the process of discovering, refining & owning your wholeness- so now it's time to expose, open, model and live your truths in the world without apology/shame/analysis.
The context of life turns to emphasize how you continually reach and -Achieve the next step of greater inclusion, holism and self-acceptance- so that you can wholly EXPRESS & actively live from the ever-evolving network of truths you now believe, accept and understand to be true about you, others, life etc.
Thus you start to combat & strip away everything against your ability to be an old soul brimming with rich depths of wisdom- which you now want to fully +Consolidate into your public life & persona.
So in effect, you come out of your self-contained reality to fully show all parts, aspects and dimensions of your holistic self- and encourage/teach others to remember, be and do the same.
---
On Collective levels, all individuals involved are fully identified with the lifestyle, habits, lessons and challenges of the holistic CONTEXTUAL ECONOMY.
Level 5- Stretching Holism
Now you stretch your CAPACITY TO EMBRACE new+provocative truths as they come to the surface in any+every new experience. So you start to attract relationships where all involved can "PUSH EACH OTHER'S BUTTONS" to expand your capacity to comprehend more than you think you can.
This brings wacky new -Adventures through life then- as you always find yourself moving out into new territories
you've never taken on before to discover ever-greater truths about you, others or the universe.
And even if it feels obnoxious, exhausting and terrifying- you're constantly growing and evolving your self, potential and perspective at every twist and turn.
​
You constantly face new themes+angles of self-acceptance, essence recognition, spiritual growth and philosophical exploration that breach your comfort zones, barriers and boundaries- building up from all that chaos into unprecedented +Expansions of beauty, wisdom, affection and wholeness of being.
---
On Collective levels, the species/community chooses to continually learn about the mysterious truths of the universe through its dynamics with other species, peoples, lifeforms etc.
Superficiality, appearances, illusions and distractions in everything+everyone come to be stripped away and all is seen in its truth, core and ESSENCE. So there is a tendency here to whole-heartedly indulge in the more wacky, crazy and absolutely absurd truths of life and spiritual connectedness that were hard to grasp before.
Level 6- Holistic Resolution of Karma
Now you begin to tie up the last loose ends of terror over any paradoxical, convoluted and complicated truths that have been intensely lingering in ways you've let interfere with & imbalance your life.
So you break down all the illusions you tell yourself that divide you from being you, being in your body, loving all of life & feeling a part of the cosmos: -Connecting with everyone/thing you've come to know to generate profound AFFECTION, ACCEPTANCE and LOVE for all parts of every whole.
The issues explored and processed here relate most to any form of PHYSICAL DEATH/SUFFERING.
Which would include resolving any kind of repulsion for the body, terror over realizing your fragility, desperation to be safe/at home in the universe, feelings of insignificance because you're such a small part in the cosmos & the eternal truth of spiraling evolution through cycles of death+rebirth & fragmentation+reunion for all.
And this would especially play out through squalor (poor physical/psychic hygiene due to resignation) and extremely wishful thinking (extreme entitlement to just resign from terror in favor of the comforts of illusion).
This period is busy and intense, but healing and fulfilling, as you surrender to the TRUE +Harmony of how all choices & experiences- even suffering, pain and illusion- are part of one's path back home.
So you navigate life's most tragic and comic experiences- and eventually no longer resign to the worst & most unacceptable parts of existence/evolution, because you now know life INCLUDES ALL OF IT.
Wholeness simply would not be possible for any Whole without the inclusion+contribution of its each and every part.
---
On Collective levels, the sentience dives deep into whatever still-lingering and unprocessed wounds, traumas, intensities, interference & imbalances they have around the truth or terror of anything and everything across their multidimensional existence- REVISITING ancient memories stored in the collective unconscious.
As this is done, the species as a whole starts seeing all exchanges, lives, experiences and choices as collective invitations toward greater truth, inclusion and holism- rather than entangling impositions to wholeness & meaningless points in space/time that are existentially terrifying & create desires for total exclusion/apathy.
​
Level 7- Exemplifying Holism
As this is the "last" stage in the evolution of our self/personality with our soul/essence, it is marked by being
a poignant & bittersweet process of freeing us toward NON-ATTACHMENT.
This is where you work to know on all levels of you, that your existence/being TRANSCEND far beyond the current moment in space/time- and how it will never be in a total state of peace, but will always be evolving, creating and changing as that is the true nature of the universe.
So you learn to live+love with a complete passion, embrace, vitality and affection that enjoys everything- without holding onto a rigid state of longing, regret or resentment that limits your ability to simply BE.
Considering the above, this is a time when you must look at all the -Eclectic or Inconsistent truths & preconceived ideas of you, your soul & life (set by you or others) that you haven't yet resolved.
Which means you start to discern whether what you know comes from a place of true wisdom- or if you're just adapting your truths to make things more special, convenient, appealing or comfortable.
This total reassessment can be rigorous, but as you +Inculcate your truths, you begin to take responsibility for living them as a way to contribute, heal and teach others of the wisdom and freedom that is found in pure and total self-love. So your evolving permission for all parts to just be how they are is AGAPE.
You simply trust now in where you and others are going, "let everything go" to gleefully surrender to the bliss of life, and ENJOY living+creating it in any way you desire- free of all the internal & external pressures that dramatic or painful overthinking, over-feeling and overreaction once brought.
---
On Collective levels, the sentience/community learns how to truly master and understand all aspects involved in knowing the truth of their part in the bigger picture.
Particularly the RESPONSIBILITY involved in choosing to CARE.
Life returns to an Eden-like state where the species fully and without exclusion, allows for life to be life. This sentience lives their true agape and unconditional compassion for all parts within and beings around.
