The Structure Has Changed Before

The thing that makes 1781 believable is that it was not the first time.

Ra taught that the human structure has shifted more than once. We began as a three-centered creature. That became five. The five became seven. Each shift added awareness the previous form did not have, and each time the older structure stopped being the accurate description of what was walking around.

The seven-centered form is the one that held longest. Roughly ninety thousand years, over which it developed what we would now call self-reflective consciousness: the capacity to think about your own thinking, to hold a concept, to plan.

The chakra system is that being’s map

People look at a nine-centered bodygraph and assume they are seeing a decorated chakra chart. The resemblance is not a coincidence, and the difference matters.

The classical Hindu chakra system describes seven energy points with kundalini rising from root to crown. That is an accurate map. It is a precise, sophisticated description of the seven-centered human being, made by people who were themselves seven-centered and were paying very close attention.

Nothing about this diminishes it. A map of a real thing does not stop being a map of a real thing because the terrain moved. It only stops being your map.

What the seven-centered being built

Almost all of it.

Agriculture, cities, writing, mathematics, navigation, medicine, sanitation, engineering, the printing press. Every religion whose name you recognize. Every moral framework still being argued about. The idea of law. The idea of nations. The scientific method itself was built by seven-centered people and inherited by us.

That being was strategic by nature. It oriented toward what could be seen, smelled, tasted and secured. Its intelligence was survival intelligence, and it was extraordinarily good at it, which is why we are here at all.

It is worth being specific about the shape that intelligence took, because it explains a great deal about the world you were handed.

Fear worked as a motivator, and so fear was used as one. Control was the goal, first over the natural world and then, once the natural world was more or less subdued, over each other. Leadership meant taking charge and making things happen, which is a description of one particular aura in action, running as the model for everyone. Meaning was placed outside the body and usually after death, so the life you were actually in became a preparation for something else.

None of that is a moral failing on their part. It is what that structure was for, and it worked. It is only a problem now because it is still running, in institutions and in heads, long after the structure that generated it stopped being the one we are born with.

Why this is not just history

If it were only history it would be interesting and useless.

It matters because the difference between the two structures is not decorative. The seven-centered being was designed to survive by figuring things out and acting on the conclusion. Its mind was, functionally, its authority, and that arrangement served it.

You were not born with that arrangement. The next chapter is about what changed, and about the year the change is dated to.
