THE 8 DYNAMICS

      I agree there is some need to clarify the actual dynamics as laid
out by Ron.

     Part of the problem is that the dynamics tend to confuse spirit and
MEST, the physical universe of matter, energy, space time and force.

     Both can have groups for example, but MEST (6) is below SPIRIT (7)
so, which groups are we speaking of, spirit groups or MEST groups?

     Confusing the two is dangerous.

     Starting at the top we have Source which is 8, that is easy.

     Below that we have spirits which is 7, that too is easy.

     But spirits can act alone, or in groups, so we assume there is a
gradient scale of co operation there in the 7th.

     Then spirits like to create MEST which is 6, and from here it is
MEST all the way on down.

     MEST breaks into Life which is 5, but there is plant life 5a, and
animal life which is 5b.

     Animal life has as a subset of it, human life, and so we have
mankind which is 4.  For a monkey, the group of all monkeys would be 4,
and man would be on the money's 5th.

     Now amongst man, we have groups, starting with planetary man
itself, then ethnic groups, one's country (vaginabush), state, town,
schools, work groups and family.

     The family is special because it is a creative dynamic for making
other man, and thus we can call the special group of people connected by
a blood line the family which then is the 2nd dynamic, which includes
all ancestors, mates, children and future heirs and sex.

     Love and marriage have nothing to do with it, other than love
exists on all dynamics, and marriage is a social pretense.  Sex is
generally restrained to the second dynamic, except when it is used for
pleasure outside of the realm of making children.

     Notice even in a commune, everyone related by blood, and by
agreement everyone related by law (in-laws) are part of family and part
of a person's 2nd dynamic.

     Apparently since we all had the same mother eons ago, everyone
alive today is part of family, but that is a bit extreme.

     Notice that groups are a subset of man, and family is just another
group, special only in its blood line and creative aspect.

     Then on the first dynamic we have the single body.  Many take the
first to mean the spirit plus the body, but spirits on the 7th have
bodies just like cowboys have horses, and people have cats.  A body is
just another pet.

     So the body is a 1st dynamic TO A BODY, but is a 5th dynamic to a
spirit.

     Looking from the bottom up, the first group that a body belongs to
is family as a child.  It then grows up to belong to family as a parent.

     The next group that people generally belong to is the group of
other families, or one's closest community where raising children is the
primary activity.

     The next group up would be work and career groups, what the being
is careening around life doing to survive.

     Then you get all manner of groups up through country, race,
religion and man himself.  Then you get life, MEST, spirit and Source.
