Hi you guys!

Well...one of the first lectures at the Evolutionary Astrology Conference was all about 'Evolutionary States' - and there are 4 of them.

Once cannot just look at a chart and see what consciousness evolvement the person is in - you must ask questions and observe.

What Evolutionary State do you feel you are in and which one do you feel you are transitioning into? It's pretty interesting!

Here's the rundown, made from the notes I took on Friday:

***

Evolutionary States

1. DIMLY EVOLVED or DE-EVOLVING STATE: 2 to 3% of the population

These people need assistance. (ex: down syndrome) There could be many reasons why someone would choose to come into a lifetime as Dimly Evolved (the last one was too much/stressful/traumatic...?)

There are no barriers between them and the world. Glassy eyes that do not See.


2. CONSENSUS STATE: 70% of the population

Saturn as an archetype rules this State (restriction and limitation).
The center of gravity is the Ego.

Herd mentality, Religious, worship the 'TV Gods', are conditioned by the culture they live in (Human-Made Conditioning)and by their families.

There are 3 different Stages that one might be in within the Consensus State:

a. Worker bees.
b. Keeping up with the Jones'.
c. Leading or ruling the Consensus Society.


3. INDIVIDUATED STATE

Ruled by the Uranian archetype (Higher octave of Mercury - furthering the evolvement of Higher Mind - and each of our own unique selves)
Center of gravity is the Soul.

The speaker said that anyone that would come to an astrologer for a reading would have to be in, at least, the Individuated State.

This is where we know that there is more to life than what the Consensus is - and we desire to reveal our own unique, individual Selves. We leave the 'tribe'.

a. This is a pretty insecure first stage of the Individuated State as you are trying to break away from the Consensus. You feel unstable with this move and feel like you could get sucked back out into the Consensus State pretty easily. It takes a lot of willpower, and courage to split away from the pack at this stage. Spirituality replaces Religion. You're searching. You find courage to seperate.

b. You rebel. You are extreme in expressing your unique individual Self because there is a fear of being sucked back in to Consensus. You are absolute Maximum Uranus! You feel that the Saturn/Consensus is only 'out there' in the world. The Government, CIA, masses, police etc. are to blame for everything. You don't see the Saturn within your Self - it's always 'out there'.

c. Third Stage of the Individuated State is where you breath a big huge sign of relief! Ahhhhhhhh......You are finally simply You and it feels good to know and feel that. You begin to explore different belief systems to contrast and compare and pick and choose to create your very own unique belief system. You are yourself in all environments. You can still be a bit of a Preacher instead of the Teacher at this stage because you're excited about Individuation - but when you begin to allow others to just BE...that is the quickening that leads you into the Spirituated State.


SPIRITUATED STATE

Ruled by the Neptunian archetype (higher octave of Venus - compassion, unconditional love etc)
Center of Gravity flips from Ego/Soul and back. A great mixing occurs.

You begin to align with Natural Laws.

a. You learn to love on a Soul level. You accept others as they are and love them despite their foibles. You have a humbleness about you because you comprehend how BIG everything is; how much there still is to learn. You realize that the belief system is teh Key - and it unlocks the door to Natural Law. You see that the belief system is simply the tool - not IT. Natural Law goes beyond belief. You begin to teach by example - and that's it.

b. You begin to purify the Ego - you make the Ego an beautiful expression of your Soul. Individuals at this stage may experience the feeling of "I AM GOD" (in a huge Ego way!) so there may be a fall from Grace at this stage....in order for a final purification to take place. There is an ego/soul play going on here. You do not deny the Darkness - you embrace it. You bring Darkness to Light (*very Blue Night!) in order to enlighten it. You are NOT perfect - you simply are. You wrap your arms around your darkness. In this middle stage of the Spirituated State you embrace materialism for what it is - and release it. You are less attached to the material world (you may still admire beauty in any form, design, object - but it's your ATTACHMENT to it that will be released at this stage).

c. This last stage of the Spirituated State would be depicted as an individual living in the Himalayas doing his thang - meditating in the mountains etc...

*I took these notes from a lecture by Kim-Marie at the Evolutionary Astrology Conference in North Vancouver, February 2004*

Of course we may experience a few of these States - but there will be an overall Tone that will show us where we are right now and where we are transitioning into.

Cool!
