How a human being is designed and programmed to accomplish our ultimate goal
What our “hardware” mechanism is like
What “software” or top-level programming we all run
You may have heard Mas say, “It’s programming, not therapy.” XI is about helping you realize how you are “programmed” and how to edit those programs (patterns, frequencies or filters) to create an optimal version of yourself. In this multi-part article we take a tour of our human design and the programming we all run, to understand the HOW of our human mechanism.
The Goal, the Design & the Means
As human beings we have created ourselves for one singular purpose, or Ultimate Goal: to fully integrate spirit into the body. In human terms, we seek to become “an angel in a human body” and experience “heaven on earth”.
In a more abstract sense, this is so Pure Consciousness can experience the texture of this dense physical realm, through a human vehicle ultimately perfected to operate from the consciousness level (or programming) of the Timeless Self.
To succeed in this ambitious endgame, we are designed very much like a computer or robot with its “hardware” and “software”. Our hardware is a highly sophisticated two-part mechanism – made up of the physical and spirit bodies (figure below) – which is programmed with its own complex software
Our software programs are frequency filters running in the different layers of our being: the spirit body, and mental, emotional and physiological layers of the physical body.
The spirit body is the “bridge” connecting your limited physical self to your Limitless or Timeless Self. Being in space-time, the spirit body is subject to distortions – but it always harbors the true, undistorted version of yourself because of its direct connection to the Timeless Self.
Your Prime Directives: Survive and Thrive
At the root of our programming are two Prime Directives, or top-level commands, hardwired to achieve the ultimate goal of fully embodying spirit:
Survival of the physical form – To stay in space-time or stabilize at all cost, so spirit will not separate from the body and exit the physical plane (human death); also the reproductive instinct, to perpetuate physical form – this is symbolized by the downwards arrow in the pyramid below.
Elevation of consciousness – The innate drive to always grow and expand: the impulse behind progress in all its forms (scientific, cultural, material, spiritual) and wanting to improve oneself (more money, knowledge, etc). We could call this the spiritual or evolutionary instinct, pulling our consciousness towards a higher level – the upwards arrow below.
There is a “tension equilibrium” between Survive and Thrive, the two primal instincts or directives. Depending where we are in life, each arrow has different conscious importance: the highly religious, or truth and self-improvement seekers, will give more attention to Elevate/Thrive; whilst extreme extroverts, or someone in dire circumstances, may think only of “being here” (Survive). Whatever the case, both impulses are always running, and our goal remains to harmonize them so we can continue to elevate consciousness towards the pyramid apex while staying in (or without escaping) the body.
Forgetting Ourselves
A startling fact about our programming is that, at the highest level, we have also programmed ourselves to forget our true nature as pure, limitless consciousness.* Why? This is how we “trick” ourselves into staying in this heavy, severely limiting world – a world so alien to our true original nature. So our spirit will not escape the body when the going gets tough!
No other being – and many have tried – has ever embodied this densely and come this far in spirit-body integration. Those who tired before us eventually phased out, unable or unwilling to bind their high consciousness to such a heavy physical form. This is how spiritually pioneering and cosmically advanced our wondrous “human technology” really is.
Join us next week for Part 2, as we continue exploring our human mechanism, focusing on two powerful abilities we all share as part of our basic human design.
*The mystic Ramana Maharshi said: “There is no greater mystery than this: being Reality, we seek Reality”. The Space-Time filter is the “veil of forgetting” or great chasm we cross to separate ourselves from our Pure Self, for which we always yearn.
