- 6:53It's
- 6:54a.
- 6:54Is
- 6:55intended
- 6:55to
- 6:55be
- 6:55chaotic
- 6:56because
- 6:57we
- 6:57are
- 7:00the
- 7:00nature
- 7:01of
- 7:01the
- 7:01human

- 7:02When
- 7:03we

- 7:15self
- 7:15has
- 7:15a
- 7:15set
- 7:16of

- 7:18And
- 7:18they
- 7:18are,
- 7:18for
- 7:19all
- 7:19intent
- 7:19purposes,
- 7:20they

- 7:27point
- 7:29of
- 7:29a
- 7:29level
- 7:29of
- 7:30consciousness.
- 7:32So
- 7:32when
- 7:32we
- 7:33are
- 7:33born,
- 7:34we,
- 7:34we
- 7:34exist
- 7:35within
- 7:35a
- 7:35range
- 7:36of
- 7:36consciousness.
- 7:37That
- 7:37a
- 7:37range
- 7:37of
- 7:38consciousness
- 7:38is
- 7:39very
- 7:39low
- 7:40on
- 7:40the
- 7:40consciousness
- 7:41scale.
- 7:42We
- 7:42are
- 7:42third
- 7:43from
- 7:43the
- 7:43bottom
- 7:45in
- 7:45that
- 7:45consciousness
- 7:46scale,
- 7:48and
- 7:48it's
- 7:48called
- 7:48third
- 7:49density.
- 7:49We
- 7:50are
- 7:51learning
- 7:52the
- 7:52curriculum
- 7:53of
- 7:53third
- 7:53density.
- 7:53In
- 7:54anticipation
- 7:54of
- 7:55graduating
- 7:55to
- 7:56the
- 7:56next
- 7:56range
- 7:57of
- 7:57consciousness.
- 7:59The
- 8:00first
- 8:00and
- 8:00second
- 8:00ranges
- 8:01of
- 8:01consciousness
- 8:03are
- 8:03nondescript.
- 8:05So
- 8:05what
- 8:05is
- 8:06learned
- 8:07by
- 8:07consciousness
- 8:08participating
- 8:09in
- 8:09those
- 8:09ranges
- 8:10of
- 8:10consciousness
- 8:11essentially
- 8:12is
- 8:12not
- 8:13preserved
- 8:14in
- 8:14an
- 8:14individual
- 8:15being's
- 8:16evolutionary
- 8:16advancement.
- 8:18The
- 8:18first
- 8:18range
- 8:19of
- 8:19consciousness
- 8:20is
- 8:20what
- 8:20we
- 8:20would
- 8:21consider
- 8:21to
- 8:21be
- 8:22inorganic
- 8:23matter.
- 8:24But
- 8:25it
- 8:25also
- 8:25begins
- 8:26with
- 8:26fire.
- 8:26Fire
- 8:27is
- 8:27the
- 8:27lowest
- 8:27range
- 8:28of
- 8:28consciousness.
- 8:30The
- 8:30second
- 8:31range
- 8:31of
- 8:31consciousness
- 8:32is
- 8:32what
- 8:32we
- 8:32would
- 8:33consider
- 8:33to
- 8:33be
- 8:34plants
- 8:34and
- 8:34animals,
- 8:35organic
- 8:35matter.
- 8:36Those
- 8:37both
- 8:37are
- 8:38foundational
- 8:40densities.
- 8:40Because
- 8:41they
- 8:41are
- 8:42necessary
- 8:43to
- 8:43exist
- 8:45in
- 8:45their
- 8:45own
- 8:46uniqueness.
- 8:47So
- 8:47that
- 8:48we,
- 8:48participating
- 8:49in
- 8:50the
- 8:50third
- 8:50range
- 8:50of
- 8:51consciousness
- 8:51can
- 8:52have
- 8:52a
- 8:52platform
- 8:53in
- 8:53order
- 8:53to
- 8:54have
- 8:54experiences.
- 8:56And
- 8:57so
- 8:57they
- 8:58are
- 8:58very
- 8:58strategic
- 8:59to
- 9:00our
- 9:00experience
- 9:01of
- 9:01creation.
- 9:02But
- 9:02they
- 9:03themselves
- 9:04are
- 9:04not
- 9:04considered
- 9:05to
- 9:05be
- 9:07as
- 9:08potentially

- 9:11for

- 9:12as
- 9:12our
- 9:13range
- 9:13of

- 9:14Our
- 9:15range
- 9:15of
- 9:15consciousness,
- 9:16by
- 9:17far
- 9:17is
- 9:17the
- 9:17most
- 9:17intense
- 9:18range
- 9:18of
- 9:19consciousness.
- 9:20Because
- 9:20we
- 9:21have
- 9:21adequate
- 9:22awareness
- 9:22in
- 9:22order
- 9:23to
- 9:23assume

- 9:24for
- 9:24our
- 9:25progression
- 9:25through
- 9:26the
- 9:26range
- 9:26of
- 9:26consciousness.
- 9:27But
- 9:28we're
- 9:28not
- 9:28smart
- 9:28enough
- 9:29to
- 9:29know
- 9:29how
- 9:29to
- 9:29do
- 9:29that,
- 9:30okay?
- 9:32And
- 9:32so
- 9:32it
- 9:32makes
- 9:32it
- 9:33very
- 9:33intense.
- 9:35The
- 9:36first

- 9:52are

- 9:55And
- 9:56time

- 9:57to
- 9:58create

- 10:04None

- 10:48I'm
- 10:48sure
- 10:48you're
- 10:49familiar
- 10:49with
- 10:49the

- 21:08But
- 21:08we

- 21:08in
- 21:09the

- 21:14And
- 21:14so
- 21:14if

- 21:15any,
- 21:16anybody
- 21:16that's

- 21:24environment
- 21:25and
- 21:25behave
- 21:26so
- 21:26differently.
- 21:28And
- 21:28the
- 21:29reason
- 21:29for
- 21:29that
- 21:29is
- 21:30each
- 21:30one
- 21:31is
- 21:31a
- 21:32separate
- 21:32metaphysical
- 21:33soul
- 21:33that

- 21:38is
- 21:38at
- 21:39the
- 21:39time
- 21:39of
- 21:39that
- 21:39incarnation.
- 21:41And
- 21:41so
- 21:41they
- 21:42have
- 21:42already
- 21:42developed
- 21:43a
- 21:43personality
- 21:44in
- 21:44their
- 21:44metaphysical
- 21:45self.
- 21:45And
- 21:46some
- 21:46of
- 21:46them
- 21:46are
- 21:46more
- 21:47advanced
- 21:47than
- 21:47others,
- 21:48and
- 21:48others
- 21:48are
- 21:48less
- 21:49advanced
- 21:49than
- 21:49others.
- 21:50But
- 21:50we
- 21:51choose
- 21:51our
- 21:51incarnations
- 21:52for
- 21:53the
- 21:53sole
- 21:53purpose
- 21:54of
- 21:54that
- 21:55incarnation
- 21:56has
- 21:56the
- 21:57probability
- 21:58of

- 22:01need
- 22:01in
- 22:02order
- 22:02to
- 22:02evolve.
- 22:04So
- 22:04some

- 22:04those
- 22:05are
- 22:05very

- 22:12But
- 22:13during
- 22:13the
- 22:13course
- 22:14of
- 22:14that
- 22:14lifetime,
- 22:15there's

- 22:23evolve
- 22:23their
- 22:23metaphysical
- 22:24self.
- 22:25Hero's
- 22:25journey
- 22:26yeah,
- 22:27one
- 22:27of
- 22:27the
- 22:28conditions,
- 22:28the
- 22:28elementary
- 22:29conditions,
- 22:30and
- 22:30when
- 22:31we
- 22:31were
- 22:31talking
- 22:32in
- 22:32our
- 22:32previous
- 22:32session,
- 22:33we
- 22:33were

- 22:34and
- 22:35the
- 22:35difficulty
- 22:35of
- 22:36teenage
- 22:36years.
- 22:37This
- 22:38is
- 22:39the
- 22:39range
- 22:40of
- 22:40consciousness
- 22:40that
- 22:41we
- 22:41are
- 22:41tasked
- 22:41with
- 22:41becoming.
- 22:42Awareness.
- 22:43We
- 22:44begin
- 22:44each
- 22:45incarnation
- 22:46as
- 22:46an
- 22:46infant
- 22:47and
- 22:47our
- 22:48metaphysical
- 22:50chakra,
- 22:51just
- 22:51the
- 22:52first
- 22:52one,
- 22:52is
- 22:52the
- 22:53only
- 22:53one
- 22:54that
- 22:54is
- 22:54open
- 22:55during
- 22:55our
- 22:56infant
- 22:56years
- 22:57when,
- 22:57when
- 22:57we
- 22:57enter
- 22:58the
- 22:58Terrible
- 22:59Twos.
- 23:00That
- 23:00means
- 23:00that
