CRYSTALLISATION - ACTION
The height of individuation occurs taking the role of leadership when we ourselves claim central place within our group and make decisions that radically shift the direction of the collective will. It is inherent within the soul to rise to power and make a claim of some sort within some group – even if that is in the family unit as a parent. Those who do this in an expanded capacity without having found a place of love and peace will and must inevitably cause wasteful destruction and antagonism with other groups even to the level of war. Yet aggression is an aspect of furtherment, a requirement of evolving more and deeper experiences. Such power is very dangerous and leads a person towards egotism and self-aggrandisement. Yet even though the leader and many, many others pay an awful price, the group itself grows stronger. So we see that group consciousness does not obey the same laws of conscience as an individual does. |

CRYSTALLISATION - CULTURAL IMPLICATIONS
It is the mark of a mature adult that what is started is brought to completion and that we understand the importance of beginning new things with this in mind. This behaviour is what establishes a certain quality within, let’s call it ‘the ability to respond’ or responsibility. With this quality fully developed mature adults can, and do, respond to an underlying hidden ‘rule book for life’, which is written in code and occasionally’ but rarely and imperfectly’ ‘spoken’ of by certain among us when in a high state of grace. Living within the scope of these rules is like keeping our life-melody within an harmonious scale of notes, and remembering to feel love and beauty as we do so. The highest aspiration we have is to sound our own unique note all the time and in harmony with the One Note – that Buddhists call Aum, and Sufis Hu. When we do this, then all around us fear dissolves and conflict evaporates to become a distant memory. |

CRYSTALLISATION - INDIVIDUAL IMPLICATIONS
At this point in humanity’s evolution we are witnessing the culmination of our terrible will to power. There is confusion in all areas, ambiguity and misunderstanding – good things done by bad people and bad things done by good people – and lies, so many lies! It takes an unusual level of commitment to dedicate one’s life to penetrate the mysteries and discover the higher truth that all is subjective and nothing lasts forever. But some things do have greater worth, they endure and carry the essential message of humanity from distant past and through our children, if we can get it right, to an unimagined, hopeful future. |

GROUP PERFORMANCE - ACTION
A true seeker undertakes many challenges; life is lived completely as an education with lessons and examinations that stretch us to the fullest extent. We must be disciplined to take regular exercise, release our repressed, neurotic emotions and place ourselves in positions of power yet resist the temptation to abuse it. Then we will be hurtled through life experiences one after another at a fast pace that would have been unimaginable earlier in life, still, we learn to cope well with all the changes and uncertainty. We find great solace when we learn to let go of the need to be recognised as important, and we find that true freedom is more deeply discovered in humility rather than prideful self-love. |

GROUP PERFORMANCE - CULTURAL IMPLICATIONS
Our community has a past and s future, which gives it continuity and increasing depth as it pushes through challenges that can reward the winners with recognition and losers with greater wisdom. Also, it supports those of us unable or unwilling to participate in the main thrust of things while we reorient ourselves towards a higher dimension, one which trains us to bring spiritual consciousness to bear upon ordinary things in life. This Earth plane is a plane of abundance whose pleasures and comforts, with a healthy moderation, can be fully enjoyed. |

GROUP PERFORMANCE - INDIVIDUAL IMPLICATIONS
We seek, and seek further, we read the signs and the explanations, we struggle to overcome worldly challenges and learn how to hear the multiplicity of inner voices, and see the beautiful interconnectedness, the patterns of energy. Eventually we find what we have been looking for – we must, simply because our attention has not wavered. We come to know that the field of reality in which all unfolds is managed by two opposing forces of dark and light and on one level, the human level, these forces are populated by realised beings on each side of the equation. |
