CONTROL

THE DEMISE OF HIERARCHY

One of the major issues to plague human beings and the cause of enormous conflict and violation of basic human rights is the issue of control. All control is rooted entirely in a single theme — territory. As we shall see, there are various different ways in which we can understand territory. The first territory is yourself — the physical, emotional and intellectual confines of your own being and the boundary of your aura. If we extend that theme you might view your relationships and families as another form of territory. In turn, your home and land is obviously a further extension of your family territory. Then there is your entire community or race, the outer territory of which is made up of your nation. Finally there is the earth itself, which forms the current territory of all human beings. This constitutes a great deal of territory, which taken together creates the potential for a lot of human conflict rooted in control. Another way of looking at territory is to view your life as territory and the events of your life as the aspects within that territory that you wish to control. The 21t Shadow certainly views life like this, and it does so at a deep genetic and unconscious level. Because humanity still operates collectively at the Shadow frequency, we are used to dividing life up into millions of individual territories and trying to control them. When you consider that we are really a single unified organism this seems rather a ridiculous way to behave, but it is nonetheless how the world works. At the Shadow frequency everyone is a victim — the controllers are victims of their need to remain in control, and the controlled are the victims of the controllers. Wherever you find the 21t Shadow, you will find someone either too weak to control anything at all, or someone with a deep-seated need to control everything in their environment. In the past, control was about resources and food, and food depended on maintaining and defending your territory. In the modern world however, the battlefield has changed even though the genetic dynamic has not. Today the battleground is money, and this 215t Shadow has much to do with power and money. At the Shadow frequency, if you have money it appears that you also have power. However, at the Gift level and beyond we shall see that true power has nothing to do with money. Control is based on tightness and fear. It creates tension and boundaries throughout all our environments. Even more crucially it creates the notion of hierarchy, because there are those who control and those who are controlled. In a contorted kind of way, this relationship between the controllers and the controlled can actually work quite well. It is the foundation of the idea of classes and castes, and in its ideal form it became the responsibility of the upper classes to feed and protect the lower classes. This has been the way most societies on our planet have functioned for millennia and the greater p... THE GIFT — Freedom the wonderful Gift of Graciousness.
