The Core Traits of Dataism

Dataism

Dataism is a philosophical perspective that considers data as the fundamental building block of reality and asserts that the universe and everything in it can be understood and explained through the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data. Proponents of dataism believe that data can reveal hidden patterns, correlations, and insights that can help us solve problems, make decisions, and improve our lives.

Dataism emerged as a response to the increasing importance of data in our society and the growing influence of technology in our lives. With the advent of the digital age and the widespread use of computers, data has become more abundant, accessible, and valuable than ever before. Dataism sees this trend as a positive development and advocates for the use of data-driven approaches in fields such as science, medicine, business, and politics.

Critics of dataism argue that it can lead to reductionism, where complex phenomena are reduced to simplistic data points, and that it ignores the human element of decision-making, which involves values, emotions, and ethics. They also raise concerns about data privacy, bias, and the potential misuse of data by those in power.

It’s also interesting to recognize the link between the collection of digital data in our growing technological collective landscape and the concept of reality being a holographic, conscious mind, often also described as the Akashic Records, in which every piece of data, information, though, direction, role & emotions is (already) ingeniously installed in its design.

Overall, dataism is a controversial and complex concept that raises important questions about the role of data in our society and how we can use it responsibly to improve our lives and the world around us.

11 Traits of Dataism

Belief in the power of data: Dataists believe that data is the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe and that it can help us solve many of the world's problems.

  1. Emphasis on objective analysis: Dataists prioritize objective analysis over subjective interpretation, as they believe that data can provide a more accurate and impartial view of reality.

  2. Focus on evidence-based decision-making: Dataists believe that decisions should be based on evidence, rather than intuition or ideology, and that data can help us make more informed choices.

  3. Embrace of technology: Dataists see technology as a tool for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data, and they embrace its potential to transform society.

  4. Recognition of the importance of data literacy: Dataists understand that data literacy is an essential skill in today's world and advocate for greater education and training in this area.

  5. Belief in the democratization of data: Dataists believe that data should be accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few, and that it can be used to promote greater equality and social justice.

  6. Openness to new ideas and perspectives: Dataists are open-minded and willing to consider new ideas and perspectives, as long as they are supported by data.

  7. Skepticism of traditional institutions: Dataists are often skeptical of traditional institutions, such as governments, corporations, and universities, and see them as potential barriers to progress.

  8. Ethics and responsibility: Dataists recognize the ethical implications of data use and advocate for responsible data practices that protect privacy, prevent bias, and promote transparency.

  9. Vision of a data-driven future: Dataists have a vision of a future society that is optimized by data, where every decision is based on the best available evidence, and where technology is used to solve our most pressing challenges.

  10. Belief in the potential of big data: Dataists believe that big data, or large and complex data sets that cannot be analyzed using traditional methods, holds great potential for discovering new insights, patterns, and correlations that can lead to breakthroughs in science, medicine, and other fields. They see big data as a valuable resource for innovation and progress.

  11. Focus on continuous improvement: Dataists emphasize the importance of constantly collecting, analyzing, and learning from data to improve our understanding of the world and to refine our decision-making processes. They see data as a feedback mechanism that enables us to continuously iterate and improve our approaches to solving problems and achieving our goals.

Choices That Shine

In shadows deep, where doubts may creep,
A choice once made, don't let it seep,
Into the corners of your mind,
Where second guesses, you might find.
For in the heart, the truth does lie,
Once chosen path, let it fly,
Regret’s a ghost, haunting the past,
Have faith in choices that you cast.
Embrace the road where you now tread,
Resoluteness, onward spread,
For in decisions firmly sown,
Your truest self shall brightly shone

Once a decision is made, it becomes a cornerstone of your journey, a stepping stone toward the future. Doubting or second-guessing only clouds the clarity of your purpose. When you hesitate, you invite unnecessary turmoil into your mind, questioning the very essence of your choices. Instead, embrace the decisions you make with confidence and conviction. Understand that every choice, whether right or wrong, holds within it a lesson and an opportunity for growth. Trust in your judgment, for it is the culmination of your experiences, your values, and your intuition. When you refrain from revisiting your decisions, you grant yourself the freedom to fully invest in the present, and the chance to craft a future unburdened by past uncertainties.

The Power of Unwavering Decisions: Embracing the Path Chosen

In the tapestry of life, decisions are the threads that weave our unique story. Yet, often, we find ourselves entangled in the web of doubt, questioning the choices we have made. It's natural to reflect on our decisions, but dwelling in perpetual second-guessing can paralyze progress and cloud our vision for the future. Once a decision is made, it’s vital to stand firm, allowing its consequences to unfold naturally.

Embracing the Certainty

The moment a decision is made, it represents a culmination of our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. It's a testament to our capabilities and an embodiment of our beliefs. Doubting these choices undermines the very essence of our being. Embracing decisions with unwavering certainty empowers us to move forward with confidence. It acknowledges that in that moment, given the information and understanding available, it was the best choice.

Learning from Every Choice

Every decision, right or wrong, brings forth invaluable lessons. By not second-guessing, we grant ourselves the opportunity to learn from the outcomes. Successes reinforce our abilities, while failures provide profound insights. When we accept decisions without constant doubt, we open ourselves to growth, honing our judgment and sharpening our intuition for future choices.

Living in the Present

Constantly questioning past decisions robs us of the present moment. It creates a mental loop that hinders our ability to be fully engaged in what is happening now. By letting go of the past, we liberate our minds to be present in our current endeavors, nurturing meaningful relationships and exploring new opportunities.

Building Resilience

Resilience stems from acknowledging the decisions we make and facing their outcomes head-on. Instead of succumbing to doubt, we can channel our energy into adapting to circumstances, finding innovative solutions, and persevering through challenges. Each decision, even those that lead to setbacks, strengthens our resilience, enabling us to navigate future hurdles with grace and determination.

In essence, the power of not second-guessing lies in embracing the decisions we make as integral parts of our journey. By doing so, we empower ourselves to learn, grow, and live authentically. Remember, life is a series of choices, and it's in making them with conviction that we truly embrace the adventure that lies ahead.

Elements of Music

Introduction

Music! What is its essence, and how can we break it down into its essential elements? We have touched on this topic before in blog posts such as The Fundamentals of Art & How Art Evolved Consciousness, but before we break music down into its foundational components, let’s have a look at how music has been defined and described throughout the ages.

  • vocal or instrumental sounds combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion

  • the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity

  • the art of producing pleasing or expressive combinations of tones, especially with melody, rhythm, and usually harmony.

Looking at these very foundational definitions of music found on Google & Merriam Webster, we can already find some of Music’s foundational elements very clearly, but for the purpose of depth and this article, I’ve contemplated what other elements constitute music. This might be insightful for you whether you’re a musician, a percussionist, a vocalist, a DJ or simply a music lover. Let’s have a closer look.

10 Traits of Transhumanism

10 Traits of Transhumanism

There are many different reasons why someone might want to become a transhuman. Some people may be attracted to the idea of augmenting their physical and mental capabilities through technology, while others may see it as a way to overcome physical or mental limitations or to achieve a higher level of performance.

 

Other people may be attracted to the idea of transhumanism as a way to extend their lifespan or to achieve a form of immortality. Some transhumanists believe that humans have the potential to ingeniously prolongue life and to achieve a higher level of consciousness or spiritual enlightenment through technology.

 

Still others may be attracted to the idea of transhumanism as a way to address social and environmental issues, such as poverty, inequality, or environmental degradation. Some transhumanists believe that technology has the potential to solve these problems and to create a more harmonious and equitable society.

As a philosophical and cultural movement transhumanism advocates for the use of technology to enhance and augment human capabilities and to extend human lifespan. Here are ten potential traits or characteristics of transhumanism:

47 Strange Emotions

47 Strange Emotions

Whether they come from society at large, culture, our specific environment, the people around us, our subconsciousness or a potential higher power, we human all deal with feelings, moods & emotions. They can be absorbed, they can be stimulated by chakras & their generated hormones and they can be created through relationships & art. Some of these are commonly shared and experienced, as also discussed in an earlier post ‘THE FULL SPECTRUM OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS’, while some of them are quite rare to experience in our human lives.

It’s also interesting to think about how we people come to name emotions, as the full vibrational spectrum of emotions, moods, feelings, needs, desires, passions & energy is so enormously vast. Then we ultimately decide as a collective species to give a particular name to a certain fractal of that total spectrum. For example, we decide that these experiences, sensations, symptomps & energies make a certain experience ‘joyful’ while others make it ‘guilty’, while in the end these boundries are not fixed and might be experienced completely differently for person one than for person two. So yes! Some emotions we share, but some emotions are completely unique to us as purely unique individuated and distinguised human souls here on earth.

Power vs Force: High vs Low Polarities

Power vs Force: High vs Low Polarities

The ability to differentiate between high & low energy patterns is a matter of perception and discrimination that most of us learn by painful trial & error. Failure, suffering & eventual sickness result from the influence of weak patterns, in contrast, success, happiness & health proceed from power attractor patterns. In this blog post, we will go over a list of contrasting patterns below, which have been researched & calibrated to determine their respective criteria. Reflection on the many contrasting pairs of qualities can initiate a consciousness-raising process, so that one gradually becomes aware of patterns operating in relationships, work, creativity, conceptualizatin and all the various interaction that make up the fabric of life.

Simply reading over this list, you are no longer the same person you were before. Merely differentiating between these polarities of lower & higher increases one's inner power. With these, sometimes small, distinctions in mind, we will start to notice things we never observed before. Such revelations occur because, as the reader will discover, the universe favors power. Ultimately, we'll have to accept responsibility for every thought, word & actions, as every frequency, vibration & energy reverberates, forever through the ages of time & space. In this way, we re-experience exactly whatever suffering we have caused others, and it can thus be that the distinctions between lower patterns & higher patterns can make a difference for ourselves and others, both in the now, the future & in resolving our past. The Universe holds its breath as we choose, instant by instant, which pathway to follow, for the universe, the very essence of life itself, is highly conscious. The choice is yours.

10 Benefits of Egoism

10 Benefits of Egoism

Egoism is the ethical belief that self-interest is the most important consideration. It is the view that people should be motivated primarily by their own self-interest and that acting in one's own self-interest is generally morally right. There are different types of egoism, including psychological egoism, which argues that all human behavior is ultimately motivated by self-interest, and ethical egoism, which holds that it is always morally right to act in one's own self-interest. However, egoism is a controversial philosophical position, as it is often seen as being self-centered and lacking concern for the welfare of others.

Egoism, the belief that self-interest is the most important consideration, has often been seen as a negative force in society. However, there are those who argue that egoism can have positive effects, such as motivating people to work hard and achieve success, fostering independence and self-sufficiency, and leading to greater satisfaction and happiness. While it is important to recognize the potential negative consequences of egoism, such as a lack of concern for the welfare of others and self-centered behavior, it is also worth considering the potential benefits of prioritizing one's own interests and goals. It is important to note that egoism should not be confused with egotism, which is an excessive focus on oneself and one's own interests or achievements, often characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and a lack of consideration for others.

Boundaries, Tranquility & Personal/Tribal/Famiilal Power

Boundaries, Tranquility & Personal/Tribal/Famiilal Power

The Power of Opening, Closing and defining Boundaries

The essence of life, boundaries! Very important stuff, but first of all, what is a boundary? Well, let’s ask the dictionary:

boundary
/ˈbaʊnd(ə)ri/

a line which marks the limits of an area; a dividing line.

This is highly important, because a satisfying, powerful and balanced life with loving, inspiring and fruitful relationships and a high, strong and positive sense of self-esteem requires consciously placed or superconscious boundaries.

Every relationship and human being is defined by its boundaries, and we could define a boundary by the beliefs and behaviors by which individuals, couples, and groups delineate:

what is shared and what is separate;
what is public and what is private;
where we connect and where we diverge.

or, differently put:

‘What is me, and what is not me?’
‘What is inside of me, what is outside of me?’
‘What comes in, and what doesn’t?’
’What do I want to experience, and what do I not want to experience?

Remember, a boundary is a line that determines what is inside and what is not. A line that defines what is intensified inside of me and what is not. What belongs here in terms of energy, data, frequencies, information, emotions, content, beliefs, struggles, secrets, … etc.

At its best, our boundaries create a conscious and blissful container that allows us to proactively, comfortably and efficiently live, create and connect inside of it while maintaining a sense of personal power, authority, agency, satisfaction and harmonious connection.

I believe it’s everyone’s aim to place the right dividing lines, or boundaries, into place so we can experience the maximum amount of connection, love and unity.

Being too rigid or too loose

Boundaries can be described through their permeability: the degree to which they regulate information, resources, and interactions, and the extent to which they can allow influences and events to be integrated into the person or relationship. This means that our personal boundaries also determine our sense of connection and separateness. People with boundaries that are too permeable, will have too much-unwanted energy (consciously or subconsciously) coming into their field of awareness. This could be disharmony from an environment, desires and requests from others, unwanted things to commit to, corporations or people with certain (unwanted) energies, emotions and intentions of others, … etc.

Ester Perel, American Psychoanalyst, puts it like this: ‘People with permeable boundaries experience high permeability. They can be severely affected by external circumstances, like the trials, demands and tribulations of other people. They might reveal too much about themselves to others, and their fear of rejection and dependence on outside opinions can lead to burnout. They lose their self-direction and struggle to hold on to themselves in the presence of another. Being overly permeable can potentially lead to overextension, chaos, burnout and a confusion in regards to what our true needs are.’

There are also risks in regards to being overly rigid in our boundaries, and what follows are some of the risks that come with either being too open/permeable on one hand, and being too rigid/close on the other.

Risks of being to open/permeable

  • Taking responsibility for things that I shouldn’t take responsibility for

  • Do I take on others’ emotions too much, identifying with them as If they are mine?

  • Being overwhelmed with requests, demands, desires or expectations of others, losing your Self/Other balance with depression, futility or burnout as some potential effects.

  • Being overextended and not finding the time and space to create a life that is truly desired, satisfying and purposeful.

  • Experiencing confusion and misalignment in regards to what needs, moods, and emotions are ours or those of our family members, friends or even society at large.

Risks of being too closed/closed

  • Remaining too indifferent about things that actually concern me or are my responsibility

  • Not being considerate enough in regards to the emotions of others, becoming cold and apathetic, with not being able to truly connect with others as a result.

  • Being uninformed about the trends, novelties, revelations and occupations of others, with the risk of not being up to date with what’s important in your field of expertise, passion or circle of loved ones.

  • Being uninspired in regards to what it means to create a truly desired, satisfying and purposeful life.

Notice that people with strong boundaries do no per se mean that they are harder to connect with. They may simply have other priorities. Remember, boundaries delineate what is shared and what is separate, public and private, where we connect and where we diverge, meaning that trust also strongly influences boundaries, as it prevents your inner reality from leaking to (unwanted) others, through others.

The full extent of boundaries could be summarized as the following:

‘How much are we able to accept the other as they are and want to be, letting them live their life as they want to live it, instead how we want them to live it.’

Every relationship subconsciously negotiates this question all the time, as those who do better, live better.

Boundaries at the root of suffering

A dysfunction of boundaries in relationships results in a relationship that is overly:

enmeshed: The people in the relationship are too fuzed, there is too little of a boundary, everything that happens to one person happens to the other, what is experienced by one, is experienced by the other. The potential problem is that the emotional, mental of physical climates of both persons get overly entangled with a chaotic, straining or disharmonious codependency as a result.

or

separated: when there is too much space, too much indifference, not enough mutual attention, recognition and awareness toward one another. There is not enough understanding or empathy in regards to what the other is experiencing, automatically creating emotional, intellectual and relational distance.

Boundaries evolve as the relationship evolves. Often, when the involvement in a relationship becomes stronger, there is the expectation that the relationship becomes more shared, connected or exclusive, with the risk of potential enmeshment. This can be discussed, communicated or prevented by conscious conversation when this is not desired, needed, intended or prioritized by one, both or all of the partners.

You see, enmeshment is a concept in psychology and psychotherapy introduced by Salvador Minuchin to describe relationships, tribes or communities where personal boundaries are blurred, subsystems are undifferentiated, and excessive concern for others leads to a loss of autonomous development, which is something often to be avoided.

One of the key elements in a relationship is also accepting the boundaries of others while simultaneously embodying the truth that others have to respect our free will and accept our boundaries, regardless of what boundaries they have in place or what they perceive as healthy, logical or harmonious boundaries. We have the tendency to perceive others’ boundaries simply as relative to ours, labeling them as too rigid when ours are looser, and labeling them as too loose when ours are more rigid.

In general, you could ask yourself:

Do I see myself as someone who could use loosening up my boundaries or strengthening my boundaries?

Opening up, and allowing things to enter, or creating more of a container, so that I can protect what is inside and keep certain things on the outside.

This may depend on the particular relationship, but it can also be addressed on an overall level when we zoom out and contemplate the quality of our relationships, emotional well-being and our overall relational satisfaction.

The Types of Boundaries

I’ve come to understand it’s important to differentiate boundaries within 3 different levels of relationships: the personal, the interpersonal and the transpersonal level.


I. The personal: The boundaries that reside within ourselves, which we may not want to cross, such as certain subconscious aspects of our shadow self, including blind spots in our awareness, harmful tendencies and unresolved trauma.

II. The interpersonal: We have boundaries with the people we’re most intimate with; our partner, our soul mates, our friends and the members of our tribe, community and family.

III. The transpersonal: We have boundaries with the collective; society at large; the whole world so speak. As we are connected to everything, online and offline, this means humanity and life at large, physically and metaphysically.

So as you can see, there is a gradual development in regards to the field concern: purely to one’s self, selfish, all the way to the sole concern of others, with the concern of others and the collective at its extreme.

Both, both selfish and selfless can be needed, desired and positive

Now, sometime we need space and time alone, inner silence, for making sense of our experience. For contemplation, depth, recovery and integration of new lessons and insights, but we may not be able to create this space and time for ourselves, for example because of our phone or mobile devies or because of people we are related to. So how can we actually resolve this? Here are some strategies, both for tightening up as for loosening down our boundaries.

Strategies to tighten your boundaries

  • Contemplate the (details of) your masculine energy, purpose and career more deeply: the stronger the sense of who you are and what you want/lack, the stronger the boundaries you (can) set.

  • Say no more often, especially to things you don’t want or requests you don’t have the willpower or energy for.

  • Change your phone number and only give your new phone number to those who should be able to contact you.

  • Consciously place limits on when you check your SMS inbox, mailbox, post box or social media platforms, managing the amount of external information coming in.

  • Pranayama exercises and substances such as coffee, cocaine and entheogens have the potential power to strengthen our personal boundaries.

  • Devices that impact our sensory input, such as earplugs that limit incoming auditory signals or blinds that divide us form the outside world.

Strategies to loosen your boundaries

  • Cultivate selfless empathy by contemplating the struggles, pains, frustrations, sadnesses, demons, and problems that the collective and your closest loved ones are going through.

  • Create belonging in your friend group, relationship, tribe or family by organizing dinner, meet up or party evenings.

  • Immerse yourself into YouTube channels, blogs or other information channels of domains and fields that are in line with your passion and purpose.

  • Connect with loved ones that either you need or either need you by being responsive, committing and reconnecting.

  • Saunas, bath and boundary loosening substances, e.g.: THC, Alcohol or DMT.

A positive exercise is also to look at the different scope of relational environments from the past, and ask yourself if this was an environment that allowed you to do the things you wanted and needed to do, positively impacting your self-actualization process, or was this an environement that actually strenghtened your defenses or coping mechanisms? What have been positive experiences that have helped you strengthen the part of you that you want to develop more, and what were those situations? How can you replicate them?

Placing & Negotiating Boundaries

It’s important to see that we also constantly invade, touch or knock (at) the ‘boundary doors’ of others. We can do this in different ways:

We can either forcefully or passionately push our desires, requests or demands onto others, with rape as an extreme example on one hand.

or

We can gently or softly communicate our desires, requests or demands with others, with open and ‘expectationless’ invitations and requests as an extreme on the other.

Imagine how it feels when others try to change your inner state of awareness, balance, boundaries and realities. Then picture yourself how you would like to be treated, approached and invited optimally. It’s a lot more enjoyable, liberating and satisfying when the other approaches us lovingly in a way that doesn’t feel forceful, and most of all, in a way that feels like our free will is not violated or oppressed.

Connect, divide, hold close, listen, let go and surrender.

Place, question and receive boundaries and conditions into and upon Life/the Self until you can experience the Love unconditionally.

Thanks for sharing the dream :)

The Orphan Complex

The Orphan Complex

Due to complex childhood experiences and entanglements that some of us had to endure during childhood, we create sophisticated needs, behaviors and/or rejecting mechanisms during our evolution, growth and transcendence process. These mechanisms could be hindering our level of connection, love and belonging if we don’t correctly integrate the lessons of these childhood experiences. This video dives deep on this topic, hitting some very important notes and frequencies that can help us harmonize, unite and find our deepest joy. Thanks to Teal Swan for this video.

The No Longer Secret in Creating Blissful Relationships

The No Longer Secret in Creating Blissful Relationships

For many of us, making friends as an adult is intimidating, and sometimes embarrassing or a bit baffling. But we all know those people who appear to be naturals: They balance bustling social calendars, glide easily into conversations with strangers, and seem to get invited to everybody’s wedding. Research shows that these super friends, as I like to call them, really exist: Not only are they better at initiating new friendships, but they also view their friendships as closer and more enduring.

Super friends tend to have one quality in common—one that allows them to flourish outside of their relationships too. Studies find that people with this trait have better mental health; they’re more satisfied at work, more open to new ideas, and less prejudicial. Research suggests that they feel less regret; that during typically stressful events, like math tests or public-speaking engagements, they keep calm; and that they are less likely to have physical ailments such as heart attacks, headaches, ulcers, and inflammation.

So what is the distinguishing quality of super friends? It’s secure attachment.

Overall, this research reveals one of the most important secrets to taking initiative in friendship: Assume that people like you. Tempted to ask a gym friend if they want to become a happy-hour friend? Assume they do. Want to reconnect with a friend you’ve fallen out of touch with? Assume they’re in. When we make this assumption, initiative feels less scary. We’re more likely to take some leaps of faith—and eventually navigate the friendship-making process, and life, with more peace, pleasure, and security.

Jealousy, Possession & Compersion

Jealousy & Compersion

In this short post I want to mention the topics of jealousy and possession in relationships, with compersion as it's contrary pole as a reminder to self. We all know the emotion jealousy, but not many know it's contrary compersion. Compersion is the emotion that is defined as: the vicarious joy associated with seeing one's partner have a joyful romantic or sexual relationship with another. 

Fundamental Dynamics of Jealousy

In order to take a closer look at these emotions, we will zoom in on the four different elements of a relationship in which jealousy and compersion occur: 

Owner (I), Object (II) & Tresspasser (III) & Public (IV)

Jealousy requires a trespasser in order to trigger the feeling of jealousy; the fear, rage or anger when something that appears to be our property of possession, in this case another human being, is intruded, entered or invaded by a third party. This all is observed by the public or collective (IV), also inducing shame and humiliation. In order to minimize becoming afraid, jealous, angry and/or vengeful it requires us to shift our perspective with the intention of us to become more selfless, tolerant and permissive, seeing the trespasser or third party as ourselves. This, in turn, gives us the ability to accept and love the situation instead of becoming jealous of it, with an overall level of joy, peace and grace instead of fear, jealousy and rage. How far we are willing to accept this kind of behavior is something we communicate through boundaries. A boundary is simply a real or imaginary point beyond which a person or thing cannot go. So if becoming untouchable by the others’ behavior is our goal, it requires the ability to fully become selfless, fully identifying with the absolute bliss of the others’ sexual union, as in truth people will cross boundaries, going literally everywhere.

Selfish & Possessiveness

Selfless & I am other.

In general we could state that:

possessive is protective, providing, self-controlling, dominating (wanted? needed?)

while

tolerant is unconditionally loving & permissive (wanted? needed?)

 

The Sexual Identity & Its Ascent

The sexual identity, and the way in which it tries to get relationships and sex, is under enormous pressure. Sex and relationships come to you by being you. Trust. By following your inner authority you will naturally land in situations in which you are pursued or in which you pursue, shy or bold, but if the mind of the open ego takes over the ropes of mental authority and gets fixated on having to prove itself! I’m the pursuer. In thinking in knowing what’s right for it. Well, then it’s game over because the real inner authority loses itself. There are many levels of sexual maturity, with the higher ones leading to higher levels of self-actualization, sovereignty, god-consciousness and bliss.

Red

The amount of sheer energy vibrating betwixt earth and the physical vehicle is astounding. Yet it cannot be acknowledged and used nearly so well by one who is working upon upper chakras unless that entity has the patience, the humility and the determination to come into contact with that earth; that soil of self. For the sexual identity is as powerful and as unique a part of the individual spirit or soul as any other incarnationally expressed energy. This is the energy which creates a healthy mind or a healthy body, the energy that gives a primal “yes” to being. 

This is, moreover, as are all energies, a sacred energy; and the sexual intercourse is as the Eucharist of red ray, the Holy Communion of the body. This union recapitulates the oneness of earth and sky, the oneness of male and female and the oneness of reaching and waiting 

Orange

The orange-ray attempt to have sexual intercourse creates a blockage if only one entity vibrates in this area, thus causing the entity vibrating sexually in this area to have a never-ending appetite for this activity. What these vibratory levels are seeking is green-ray activity. 

There is the possibility of orange- or yellow-ray energy transfer; this being polarizing towards the negative: one being seen as object rather than other-self; the other seeing itself as plunderer or master of the situation.

Yellow

When we speak of true energy exchange, we must consider that the energy between two people has moved a very long way from that beginning red-ray attraction which eventually initiates sexual congress. It has gone from lust to a personal relationship and then often to a legal relationship or a committed relationship which is mated. And then the couple has the opportunity to ask for the Creator Itself to enter the sexual relationship through the open heart.

Green

If both vibrate in green ray there will be a mutually strengthening energy transfer, the negative or female, as you call it, drawing the energy from the roots of the being-ness through the energy centers, thus being physically revitalized; the positive, or male polarity, as it is deemed in your illusion, finding in its energy transfer an inspiration which satisfies and feeds the spirit portion of the body/mind/spirit complex, thus both being polarized and releasing the excess of that

which each has in abundance by nature of intelligent energy, that is, negative/intuitive, positive/physical energies as you may call them.

Blue

With the green-ray transfer of energy you now come to the great turning point sexually as well as in each other mode of experience. The green ray may then be turned outward, the entity then giving rather than receiving. 

The first giving beyond green ray is the giving of acceptance or freedom, thus allowing the recipient of blue-ray energy transfer the opportunity for a feeling of being accepted, thus freeing that other-self to express itself to the giver of this ray. 

It will be noted that once green ray energy transfer has been achieved by two mind/body/spirits in mating, the further rays are available without both entities having the necessity to progress equally. Thus a blue-ray vibrating entity or indigo-ray vibrating entity may share that energy with the green-ray other-self, thus acting as catalyst for the continued learn/teaching of the other-self. Until an other-self reaches green ray, such energy transfer through the rays is not possible.
