A ponderance on Memes...

The Awesome Power of the Mystery Meme
by Owen Waters

Last week, we listed the memes of social progression
which have been identified so far in the book 'Spiral
Dynamics.' The characteristics of the first tier of six
memes are:

1. Basic, personal survival.
2. Clan survival.
3. Courage, survival of the fittest.
4. Finding order and purpose in life.
5. Achievement, striving to succeed.
6. Community and caring.

Then, a momentous leap into the second, spiritual tier of
six memes began with leading-edge thinkers in the 1950s.
Since then, enough people have made the shift into the
second tier to enable two of its memes to be identified and
analyzed:

7. Responsible freedom.
8. Holistic, global village view.

As of the 1990s, the authors of Spiral Dynamics have also
identified the existence of the next meme in the
progression. This ninth meme has not yet been observed in
large quantities of people, so they have been unable to
summarize its characteristics at this point.

Using basic metaphysical principles, however, you can
predict exactly what it will become. Also, second tier
memes are reminiscent of their first tier cousins. Meme
number nine, being the third meme within the second tier of
six, will become an enlightened version of the original
meme number three, which is courage.

The first tier of six memes is materially-oriented while
the second tier is spiritually- oriented. The second tier,
being of a higher frequency band of consciousness than the
first tier, exerts far more influence in the world when it
is activated. As popular use of the second tier of memes
only began in the early 1950s, we have yet to see much of
its power manifest in the world.

The second tier of memes, this higher frequency band of
consciousness, is the engine of The Shift, the spiritual
revolution in human consciousness.

Meme number seven (responsible freedom) is similar to meme
number one (basic, personal survival), only transformed
into the second tier of six memes. Meme seven means having
a viewpoint from a much wider vista of consciousness than
meme one. It deals with flexible flow and adaptation to a
world full of change. It is like learning to survive all
over again, but this time through a global viewpoint. Meme
number seven is the starting point, and the orientation
course, for the entire second tier of memes.

Meme number eight (holistic, global village view) is the
second tier version of meme number two (clan survival).
With a viewpoint that is holistic as well as global, it is
reminiscent of meme number two. In meme number eight, the
vision is to create a global village, or a unified clan of
humanity. Unlike the small-clan focus of meme number two,
meme number eight thinkers can see that the key to unity is
to embrace the unlimited diversity of humanity as a whole.
Integration and peace can then be created through the
existence of our common humanity, when people accept
everyone else as they are, simply because they exist.

This equates to the fundamental, Creator-given right of
each human being for self-determination simply because they
exist. People were created to experience self-
determination. Humanity was also created to have an
infinite variety of personalities for the purpose of
gaining an infinite variety of experience.

At this higher level of consciousness, it becomes obvious
that any attempt to coerce people into conformity with the
standards of another person, or another group of people,
is actually a violation of Creation.

Acceptance of diversity, paradoxically, is the key to unity
in human experience.

The Nature of the Mystery Meme:

The new meme number nine will be like meme number three
(courage, survival of the fittest), only in a higher form
of manifestation. Meme number three's courage lead to
adventure, exploration and mastery of the physical
environment. As the second tier memes all have a spiritual
orientation, this means that the new meme number nine will
bring about adventure, exploration and mastery of the
holistic environment of mind, body and spirit. It will do
this while encompassing a global scale of awareness.

The new, ninth meme will bring exploration of the
spiritually- inspired use of the power of the mind to
transform reality for the better. It will create strong
demand for spiritual and creative freedom on a global
basis.

This far-ranging, inspiring meme has the power, quite
simply, to transform the entire world as we know it.

The keywords of the ninth meme will be 'Powerful
creativity.'

Powerful Creativity:

How powerful will it become? How much will this meme
transform the world as it gains in popularity?

When a spiritually- oriented person uses their creativity,
they use the same formula that Infinite Being originally
used to create the entire universe. That's how powerful
spiritual creativity is. In its fundamental form, it
consists of three essential components:

(1) Intent is used to define the goal, or the desired
outcome. When defining a goal, it is better to leave the
specifics undefined and deal in generalities. This allows
the universe to find the easiest pathway through which to
manifest the desired goal. Even better than specific
objects are general principles. For example, the general
principle of natural prosperity can find thousands of ways
to materialize, whereas a goal involving one specific
objective along the path to prosperity limits the options
considerably.

(2) Feeling is added to give the goal the life energy with
which to grow from an idea into a pre-physical reality that
becomes ready to manifest in the physical world. Ideally,
an equal balance between the amount of intent and feeling
makes for the most powerful act of creativity. For the sake
of clarity, feeling is defined as a separate component from
intent. In practice, however, the act of creativity
expresses intent and feeling intertwined together as one
creative act. This is in keeping with the way nature
functions. Light, for example, is a form of electromagnetic
radiation - electric and magnetic energies intertwined in
perfect balance and set into motion.

(3) Action. As the energy of your environment reorganizes
itself around your empowered intent, you need to provide
the third and final component, action. However, before the
action, there first has to be a pause lasting several days.
This is a hands-off period where you allow the growth of
the project to occur at its own pace within the
pre-physical ethers of space. Then, after several days have
passed and the objective is ready to manifest, it will
cause synchronistic flow to appear in your life.
'Coincidences' will occur which cause events around you to
move towards the fulfillment of your desired goal. When
this flow of supportive coincidences begins to occur, your
job is to provide the action which each synchronistic event
calls for, until the goal has become fully manifested.

If, for example, a desired career opening occurs, then you
would follow that opportunity to see if this is the main
event, or if it is just something that you will learn from
along the journey towards your goal.

If a key contact occurs which can help your project, then
you follow through on that contact to see where it will
lead. Whatever mini-opportunities arise along the path to
the realization of your goal, you provide the physical
action to materialize those opportunities out of the realm
of possibilities and bring them into the physical realm.
Most often, goals materialize through a daisy chain of
events and opportunities, each of which builds up to the
final realization of the entire, original goal.

People today are finding their way through the spiritual
awakenings that come with second-tier memes number seven
and eight. As they activate number nine, the meme of
powerful creativity, they discover a power which,
unleashed, can transform not only their own lives but the
world around them for the better.

The New Reality is yours to explore. It already exists as a
frequency of consciousness. In a world where
thoughtlessness and heartlessness are common, people of the
New Reality bring thoughtfulness and heartfulness. Where
there is strife, people of the New Reality bring peace.
Where there is pain, people of the New Reality bring love
and healing.

This is the New Reality, the spiritual revolution in human
consciousness.
