I have come to understadn this 'series' of experiences, not as the 'k'
realy being inactive in the periods between, but of there being a need
for the organism (us) to make internal adjustments, integreate and
internal what was gained in each 'event', so as to prepare us for the
next stage of development, the next 'event'. As if it takes some tme
after each to assimlate, process, integrate, the latest 'download' of
new data, before we are ready to run the next program in the process. I
know I've continued to grow and evolve considerably between 'events',
and some of that I've been given in these latest ones, I couldn't have
handled at all, simply had not the foundation for them, in my earlier
years of life. What has come before is needed to prepare for what will
come later. A 'building' process, that cannot be done all at once, or
out of proper order. You can't put the roof on until you've build the
house, and you can't build the house until you've laid the foundation,
and you can't lay the foundation until you've cleared the ground, etc.
Then, lay that over the concet that we aren't building from scratch, but
from an already existing house, are building a new and imprved model,
and that requires dismantling the old as prelude to building the new.
And since 'we' (real self) has to have some place to lve in the process,
we don't just move out of the old and into the new, it must be done in a
gradual multi stage process, carefully removing a piece of the old,
replacing it with a new building block. A process of transformation,
rather than just tear one down and build another.
