==Notes==

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moritz_Schreber Dr. Daniel Gottlieb Moritz Schreber] is a German physician who actually advocated a horrific form of Toxic Socialization. Mom Katya Degrieck<ref>Degrieck, Katya. “Dr. Daniel Gottlieb Moritz Schreber Archives.” Motherhood (blog). Accessed May 7, 2019. http://motherhoodinpointoffact.com/tag/dr-daniel-gottlieb-moritz-schreber/.</ref> provides some interesting commentary, including the insight that the popularity of his methods likely contributed to the easy growth of fascism in pre-WWII Germany! If that is not an argument for the global abolition of all toxic socialization practices, I don't know what is.

Toxic socialization is encouraged in at least one passage in the Old Testament, [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+23:13-14 Proverbs 23: 13-14]

Martin Teicher provides a fascinating and compelling look at the neurological ''damage'' caused by violence and neglect in childhood.<Ref>Teicher, Martin. “Scars That Won’t Heal: The Neurobiology of Child Abuse.” Scientific American, 2002. https://cdpsdocs.state.co.us/ccjj/Committees/JuvenileTF/Handout/ScarsThatWontHeal-NeurobiologyOfChildAbuse.pdf.</ref> His article is particularly interesting because he notes the damage is actually adaptive and "sculps" the brain to respond in ways that although they are toxic and antisocial, nevertheless are adaptive for the organism as a whole.

Oscar Ichazo notes that the bodily ego becomes distorted and sick as a consequence of toxic socialization. "A person retains the purity of essence for a short time. It is lost between four and six years of age when the child begins to imitate his parents, tell lies, and pretend. A contradiction developers between the inner feelings of the child and the outer social reality to which he must conform. Ego consciousness is the limited mode of awareness that develops as a result of the fall into society. Personality forms a defensive layer over the essence and the world. The ego feels the world as alien and dangerous because it constantly fails to satisfy the deeper needs of the self."<ref>Keen, Sam. “Breaking the Tyranny of the Ego.” In Interviews with Oscar Ichazo. New York: Arica Institute Press, 1982. https://amzn.to/2MOwleU. p. 9</ref>

In an interesting nineteen seventy-five, James Prescott published a study suggesting the link between childhood violence and neglect, and adulthood violence and war. In the conclusion, the author says, "The competitive ethic, which teaches children that they must advance at the expense of others, should be replaced by values of cooperation and a pursuit of excellence for its own sake. We must raise children to be emotionally capable of giving love and affection, rather than to exploit others."<ref>Prescott, James W. “Body Pleasure and the Origins of Violence.” The Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists, 1975, 10–20. http://www.violence.de/prescott/bulletin/article.html</ref>

'''Toxic socialization stunts and damages the [[Physical Unit]].''' It damages the [[Bodil Ego]] and causes

* [[PSST]] - Psychosocialspiritual trauma
* [[Fractured Attachments]]
* [[Physical Illness]]
* [[Disjuncture]]
* Lower IQ
* Lower [[CQ]]
* [[Addictions]]
* [[Robotization]]
* Premature aging

Toxic socialization disconnects. "The most important obstacle to that kind of openness is a history of traumatic experiences that lead to emotional and physical blockages, a kind of Reichian armoring that separates us from the rest of the world."<Ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC.</ref>

'''Toxic socialization''' is required by [[The System]], important for [[System Maintenance]], actuated through indoctrination of an [[Old Energy Creation Template]], and supported by [[Intergenerational Toxicity]] (a.k.a. toxic "traditions")

"Spare the rod and spoil the child" is an admonishment to expose children to violence, an admonishment to Toxic Socialization.

Toxic socialization is implemented in order to create a docile and compliant [[Physical Unit]] with low [[CQ]], willing to fit into the accumulation machinery of this planet (Sosteric, 2016).

Abraham Maslow had a nascent sense of toxic socialization. He "generally ... believed that the social environment inhibits rather than facilitates [[Self-actualization]], for example by frustrating the lower needs, encouraging defensiveness, or masking the real self with an idealized self."<ref>Daniels, M. “The Development of the Concept of Self-Actualization in the Writings of Abraham Maslow.” Current Psychological Perspectives 2 (1982): 71.</ref> Maslow felt that a "culture gone bad" suppressed "love, kindness, and tenderness" and inhibited authentic human actualization<ref>Maslow, Abraham. “Eupsychia—The Good Society.” Journal of Humanistic Psychology 1, no. 2 (1961): p. 7.</ref> He suggested the need to consider the development of a ''Eupsychia'' or a "psychologically healthy culture" that encourages full human development, in particular, the expression of higher human needs and values.<ref>Maslow, Abraham. “Eupsychia—The Good Society.” Journal of Humanistic Psychology 1, no. 2 (1961): p. 1-2.</ref>

Abraham Maslow distinguished between "coping," which is a response to toxic environments, and expression, which can occur only in positive environments.<ref>Maslow.“The Expressive Component of Behavior.” Psychological Review 56, no. 5 (September 1949): 261–72. https://doi.org/10.1037/h0053630.</ref>

John Lennon wrote [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMewtlmkV6c Working Class Hero] which is a discussion of Toxic Socialization in the context of social class exploitation.

The song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ-dv_Wl7og wage slaves] is about breaking the shackles that hold workers down in a system that depends on the diminishment of people through manipulation and constant demeaning, to service the greed of by people in powerful positions. (VJB).

The toxic quality of western cultures is recognized by others. A Samoan chief, for example, writes that in Samoan culture, "grey hair comes very slowly, not in youth, as it comes to the white man.<ref>Mead, Margaret. Coming of Age in Samoa (Perennial Classics) (p. 46). William Morrow. Kindle Edition. "</ref>

Aim:

The Kabbalistic [[Tree of Life]] is a representation of the Structure of Consciousness.

==Inception Movie==

In one of the instances when connecting with the Fabric, the following picture emerged:

The picture depicted the structure of Creation (so the structure of consciousness)

It was depicted as a dream in a dream in a dream. 4 "stages" appeared. Each subsequent dream had different properties in the sense that parameters of creation were different.

The "picture" started out in our (my)current version of reality, incarnated on planet earth, which was the first dream.

The "picture" continued showing my relation to the next dream, which took place outside of the universe. This place was a space where all disincarnate Monads participating in project Terra were residing. The picture showed clearly the "relativity" of identity. I had the strong feeling that I am also one of the monads working on this universe.

In both subsequent stepps, my identity expanded, just like a branch is part of the tree. I was the leaf. I was the branch. I was the trunk. I was the tree. It was all I. Depending on the perspective, it was all me. The hard distinction between leaf and branch we usually attribute to identity was not there. Identity was flowing. Depending on the perspective all the above sentences were true. I was truly the leaf and the branch and the trunk and the entire tree at the same time. This created no contradiction, contrary to what one might expect.

The next step depicted a non-local "place" of pure consciousness. I must admit, that starting from this step, I didn't "get" very much, except the feeling that it is also me...

The last step depicted the whole thing. --[[User:Aim|Aim]] ([[User talk:Aim|talk]]) 14:33, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

== Boundary Creation ==

===Meniscus in Physics===

The so called "meniscus" in a water droplet for instance is caused by forces between the molecules. The phenomenon is called surface tension and occurs due to the lack of force on the outer layers of the molecules. A molecule towards the center of the water droplet is exerted a net force of 0, because it is equally pulled in all directions simultaneously. At the outer edges of the water droplet, molecules are pulled towards the center of the droplet, because no molecules exist that would pull them in the other direction.(because the droplet ends there..) Thus, a spherical form emerges. The force created by the same types of molecules is called cohesion. (force internal to the droplet) The force created by different types of molecules is called adhesion. (Force between the droplet and the material it lies/flies on/in.) The relation between adhesive and cohesive forces determines the form of the droplet, and how much of the droplet wets the surrounding material. The greater adhesion in relation to cohesion is, the easier interpenetration of the molecules become.

===Meniscus of Consciousness===

The creation of the meniscus in a water droplet is, astonishingly enough, quite similar to the creation of the Meniscus of Consciousness.

The Meniscus of Consciousness is created due to the existence of the [[The Veil|Veil]]. To boil it down to the core, the Veil is created by your own [[Physical Unit|PU]] in an attempt to protect itself against external or internal assault. It does this by disconnecting the Physical Unit from the [[Fabric of Consciousness]] by means of closing the [[Crown Chakra]]. As a result, one becomes less aware thus making the pain and agony more bearable. The main techniques employed by the PU are [[Awareness Reduction Mechanisms]]. This can be interpreted as cohesive forces. Another equally relevant factor contributing to the creation of the Veil is the energetic environment the planet is in. This can be interpreted as adhesive forces.

Note that [[The System]] exploits these mechanisms and actively creates political, social and psychological environments leading to [[disconnection|Disconnection]].

Analogously to the molecules in the droplet, so do these psychological mechanisms create a "sphere" of identity that is confined to your PU. Everything that is not interpreted by the psychological system of the PU as part of the PU is regarded by it as foreign. Being foreign, the psychological system separates itself from the "outside world", creating the cohesive forces.

The weaker the ARMs, the weaker the cohesive forces are, and the easier it is to pierce the Veil. Likewise, the "better" the energetic/social/political environment of the planet is, the stronger the adhesive forces are, leading to the same effect. Connection becomes more easy to achieve.

Thus, it is possible to alter the strenght of the Meniscus of Consciousness on a global scale, by

a) creating an environment where the PU does not need to employ ARMs constantly.

b) creating an environment that is energetically closer to the source. More love, wisdom, peace, cooperation etc.
