Conclusion
|
This book has been written to specifically address the subject of using
TRIADs to prepare for a Great Calamity. While some readers will feel
that humanity is already in that Calamity -- from the moment of this
writing things can get worse.
In describing TRIADs we have examined how they are used, the reason for
their usefulness and the principles upon which they are based that make
them function. These same principles and mechanisms are applicable to
creating TRIADs for any purpose. In our present collapsing society there are many individuals who are isolated and in need of support: individuals in the military and the returning military; students in schools who are having to meet ever higher financial and academic hurdles to stay in school; people who are losing their homes and who are having difficulty in finding new ones; people finding themselves on the street when released from prisons and mental institutions; early retired, discharged and unemployed workers who see no immediate remedy to their situation. A collapsing society creates ever increasing trauma and isolation. The timing for TRIADs could never have been better. Technology, such as texting, also has provided an ideal mechanism for TRIADing. Because young people are adept at adopting new technology and new social organizations, it would be greatly beneficial to our society if TRIADing were to catch on among them. In a sense, this book leaves off where it should be beginning. Most of the reviewers have bemoaned that I have not provided in the stories examples directly related to the subject of the chapter. And, as well, I have not really explained how to go about the critiquing, evaluating, and supportive interaction described for what I have designated as a Level 9 TRIAD. I have acknowledged that as a fair criticism and will reiterate what I stated in Chapter 9 that this book is a basic introduction to TRIADs and that I hope someone will write a book about 'Higher Level TRIADing Made Simple' that will better give some sort of outline or basic guidelines to be followed by each member in giving their critique and, in turn, receiving criticisms for their thoughts and actions. I say that because a great many people are shy to criticize others for fear of injuring the other emotionally, or 'hurting' them. And from the other perspective, many feel that when they are criticized they have failed at their objective or that they must counter in order to save face. It can't be said they are taking things too personally because that, after all, is exactly what is being done; their personal thoughts and actions are being critiqued by a third party. This book ends here, because I have reached the limits of my nature and knowledge. It will be up to others to map the contours of our continuing journey. While I have had the whole book to discuss TRIADs I am going to take these last closing paragraphs to speculate on one more esoteric concept. Conscience is more than consciousness. Animals may be conscious or unconscious. They sleep or can be drugged, but even awake are they self-aware? There have been extensive mirror tests with animals. Some animals see an animal in the mirror while others do not but, even for those who see an animal, do they recognize it as a reflection of their self? As we move on up the ladder of abstraction it appears that only humans are capable of viewing their selves from the perspective of an outside observer. In the chapter concerning psychology it was argued that this could be the basis of a model for conscience. The mechanism, however, can be weak. A properly functioning TRIAD can provide a prosthesis that strengthens that mechanism, no matter how naturally strong or weak it may be in any individual. It will, however, require that all the members of the TRIAD have faith and trust in their co-members, where no one is on an ego trip, and where critique is taken for its value and not as a personal slam. All this will undoubtedly be required in combination with many other virtues/characteristics over the horizon in the contours of the previously mentioned map of our continuing journey. There is a curiosity of the human anatomy, centered near the middle of your forehead, called the pineal gland. It is located near the centre of the brain between the two hemispheres and tucked in a groove where the two rounded thalamic bodies join, and perhaps in some manner uniquely associated with both spheres of the brain. In non-mammalian vertebrates the biological parallel of this gland has a strong resemblance to the photoreceptor cells of the eye and, for this reason, in humans it has been sometimes called the third eye. Indeed there are very rare, but verified instances, of individuals having been born with a third eye, although usually of very low functionality. Other cultures and traditions have associated esoteric practices and principals with this gland/phenomena, seeing it perhaps as the biological or physiological basis for conscience; a third eye -- a third view. This mechanism does not seem to be very active in humans today. Once again the TRIAD provides a social prosthesis that substitutes or supplements for that mechanism, no matter how naturally strong or weak it may be in any individual. Most readers of this book will not be prepared to go where this line of inquiry might take us, and I am not prepared or able to take them there in any case, no matter how interesting a speculation it may be. Indeed, there is profound resistance on the part of many to recognize that something decidedly new to human social organization has been presented in this book. I have begun to realize that the acid test of whether they understand what is presented here, is to ask them what it is that this book claims to be new. No matter how often queried, they don't seem to be able to grasp it but, once more, let me succinctly state it here. What the TRIAD presents is a third party view, a third eye perspective, of our relationship and/or communication with another person. In effect an external conscience, of which we are aware and in the presence of which we will hopefully both modify our behavior and deepen our insight into our own motives and consciousness. Three persons assembling together is not a TRIAD. A TRIAD is three persons intentionally committed to submitting their actions and thoughts to the judgment and evaluation of one another and agreeing to providing, in empathy and sympathy, that same service to them. In a non-TRIADic relationship the modus operandi may just be to merely be courteous, non-offensive, amenable, affable and pleasant. All good virtues, but in those alone the deeper requirement and challenge of the TRIAD is not present. In fact we can say, unless the TRIADic purpose of monitoring and evaluation is not intentionally recognized and stated by all three participants, it will most assuredly not be present and we will not have a true higher TRIAD. This is new. No other social organization before has ever had that defined purpose. The results when multiplied through networks of TRIADs can have phenomenal and world changing benefit for humanity. In the Chapter on the 4th Dimension I proposed and examined how the higher TRIADs should be related to Divine influence. This again may be seen as the path of the Third Eye. Let the deniers deny, but I hope that you will find this path. Jesus said, (Matthew 18:20) "For where ... three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." May this be your blessing. |
