6th?--MISTAKE amplified

The initial dream-stem-state is a positive experience because as it develops it does not avoid or limit itself. The only reason for modification is when the systemic need for change becomes irresistible. And then it occurs openly, in full view, without regret or shame. Before the MISTAKE is made, there is dancing, trysting unabashedly, friendship, love, and all manner of celebrating. After the MISTAKE, there is anxiety, fear, and a cognitive misperception that there is something wrong. This misperception causes a switch form positive self concept to a negative one. The one who makes the mistake is the first one to experience its effects. It is not that feelings of envy, jealousy, and rejection don't exist. They do. They are part of the pantheon of feelings that are available to each of us. It is just that if we cannot see them as self limiting, we will not be able to accept the inevitable change which is part [systemically] of existence. If we accept such factors as normal, then we have no choice but to feel negatively toward what we perceive to be the source of our pain, a change on the part of one or more others. Those negative feelings are expressed in the form of criticism aimed at those others.

In the dream state, the need for change may not be simultaneous for all at once, , presenting the opportunity for either criticism or benevolent blessing. If a blessing is extended, then shame is denied and new experiences are viewed and shared by all. If withering criticism is chosen, then the target of that criticism develops an aversion to it, limiting his linear acceptance of change, thus biasing his behavior away from joy and toward anxiety and fear, away from innocence and toward guilt and doubt, away from nakedness toward the shackles of shame.

This unchecked criticism and aversion to it causing relentless biasing of behavior away from joy toward shame is the impetus of the curvilinear nature of the gravitational universe.

Human history has shown that societies based on the enslaving control of a ruling elite tend to depend on absolute ownership of the power of criticism, on fear to govern, fear of change. Each time, whether it be China, Egypt, Rome, France, Russia, etc. a revolt against the despair of criticism of the changes proposed by each individual led to a period of greater creativity and prosperity for all of high or low estate. The contributions of each organic entity's dream-state, if allowed to flourish, could be immeasurable.

5th?--Mistake revealed

It has been written that "all the world [universe] is a stage" upon which every scenario of existence can be played. Before the mistake, there would be scenes of positive activity; of love, friendship, courtship, dancing, trysting and celebrating in general, all open to the view of the whole audience. There would be no surreptitious hiding, no shame, no furtive intrigue away from the eyes of others. These negative concepts would come after the mistake.

What then is the MISTAKE? The symptom is anxiety, the emotion fear, the cognitive action is that of perceiving something to be wrong. The reaction to this misguided cognitive action is to limit or try to eliminate that which is considered to be wrong. The anxiety associated with this misperception causes a switch from positive self concept to a negative one, from innocence to guilt and self doubt, from nakedness to shame.

A relationship between an environment and a stimulus can only last so long before the systemic need for change takes over. A relationship between two units of environment or two units of stimuli can only last a finite time before change again becomes necessary. The mistake is made when one of those units feels envy, jealousy, anxiety, that something is wrong with and in the display of intimacy between or among other units. The result is withering, poisonous criticism which creates bias in the development of the dream-stem-state of its recipient. The recipient of the negative input becomes anxious about his inclination to be intimate and therefore may approach it and then even violently reject it as a moth might interact with a flame.

An innocent heart finds joy in in the happiness and life changes of others. An envious heart must posses the intimacy of others and hide their love from view.
