Albert Einstein famously said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." What he forgot to explain is how to change your thinking.
Thoughtware is built out of memes. Upgraded thoughtware is available, but your thoughtware will not be upgraded at school, because modern culture school is contexted in modern culture thoughtware, which for some reason avoids explaining the possibility of shifting context to create new thoughtware. Such an explanation can only be given at the edge of the culture, where you first get a view of the entire culture from a neutral perspective.
Your birth culture is just a Gameworld, one of many Gameworlds operating simultaneously in the global human ethnosphere on Earth. Perhaps you still remember the moment you got to the edge of modern culture's worldview. (You would probably not be reading this unless you already found that edge")
Your first thought at the edge might be, "Oh! It has an edge!" Suddenly the Gameworld of modern culture becomes visible as a whole. The capitalistic patriarchal empire spreads out behind you with so many people claiming it is 'true', believing that it is the 'best thing human beings ever invented'. Whatever they believe, there is now evidence to suggest this is not the case. As Ishmael author Daniel Quinn observes, "Something better than civilization is waiting for us."
Your second thought at the edge might be, "Ah! Something completely different from this is possible right now!"
Then a third thought comes, "Holy Criminy! I feel scared!" And if you use modern culture's Standard Human Intelligence Thoughtware about fear, you think fear is one of those 'negative feelings', a 'bad feeling', something to be avoided at all costs or people will lock you away and give you drugs. The fear makes your whole system contract, bouncing reflexively back into the marshmallow zone at the Center of your Box. Every Edgeworker knows that they may encounter thoughtware-upgrade Doorways ten times a day. Unconscious fears would automatically bounce them back into their thought-prisons of their Box each time. Instead, they make their fears Conscious and say, "Welcome fear! What do you have for me?" And then they let the intelligence and energy of their Conscious Fear inform them with its gifts of clarity. They complete the communication from their fears, and use this resource as rocket fuel for intelligently inventing and inhabiting the next new part of archearchy.
Upgrading to a New Thoughtmap of Feelings changes everything because it provides the clarity for reconnecting to exactly the inner and outer resources needed for becoming adult. On the New Thoughtmap of Feelings, fear is no longer 'negative' or 'bad'. Instead fear is powerful neutral energy and incredibly precise information about what to take care of, what to watch out for, how to stay alert and attentive, how to take care of yourself around people who are untrustworthy so that you can actually trust yourself to take care of yourself around people like them, how to pay attention and navigate the void of the unknown and still function to create what is wanted and needed by your village now while standing on nothing because it was never invented before. Does this sound useful? You get there through initiation.
INITIATIONResponsibility is applied consciousness. Consciousness is like light. It flows everywhere but you don't see it until it hits and is reflected by an object. Just like light, the quality of consciousness reflected depends on the structure of the object the consciousness strikes.
The structure in your energetic body that captures and reflects consciousness is called matrix. The quality and quantity of matrix you have built determines what you can consciously be aware of. Certain Processes build matrix at its maximum sustainable rate. These procedures are called 'initiations', and certain initiations are best delivered in certain forms of trainings.
Initiations build matrix for you to catch and hold new consciousness so you Notice and take responsibility for things you never thought could be taken responsibility for. Sooner or later, you will have the clarity to open your Pearl, distill your Bright and Shadow Principles, and prepare yourself to jack-in to your Archetypal Lineage so you can come to childhood's end and do what you came here to do in your adulthood.
How can someone love you if the you they want to love is still hermetically sealed deep within a Survival Strategy, not yet being who you are, not doing what you came here to do?
The difference between initiation and education is that education provides informational content to think about and initiation shifts the distinctions in the context that you use to think with.
The difference between traditional indigenous initiations and archearchal initiations is in what is done with your assemblage points, a term borrowed from Carlos Castaneda's studies with Don Juan Matus' (as reported in the book Journey to Ixtlan by Carlos Castaneda, front matter page xvi).
During initiatory processes a person's assemblage points are relocated. In indigenous cultures the sorcerer-shamans move an initiate's assemblage points away from the context of their mother, and weld them into the context of their culture's traditions. In this way each man or woman of the tribe knows for certain what they should wear, do, say, and eat, what is mandatory and what is forbidden at each stage of their life. They absorb the taboos and the legends as maps of reality, and as a result they duplicate the village culture, continuing to do things the ways they have always been done. Following the one-true-right-way assures the continued survival of this particular tribe and its definition of what is a real human being. (All the others who are not in your tribe are 'the edible ones'.)
This indigenous initiation strategy works marvelously when environmental circumstances are stable, and when the culture is creating a bright future for its people. In western cultures of the early 21st Century, neither of these cases is true. You live in rapidly changing circumstances in a culture hijacked by psychopaths who, not-surprisingly, are failing to create a bright future for humanity. Humanity exceeded Earth's carrying capacity in 1975, passed the methane clathrates tipping point in 2003, started sliding down the far side of Earth's oil reservoir peak in 2005, and irrevocably destabilized Greenland and Antarctica's glaciers in 2013. Within your lifetime you will probably see a 7-meter sea rise, global storms, massive desertification, and rapidly expanding ocean dead zones (for details, please study: http://arctic-news.blogspot.ch, http://planetextinction.com, http://guymcpherson.com, etc.) If that is not bad enough, uncontrolled use of depleted uranium weapons by America, Israel, and NATO are contaminating the Earth for tens of thousands of years with cancer-causing radioactivity.
