🏛️ Historical: Levels of Consciousness
A brief introduction to each level and the differences between them based on the historical time periods.
🏛️ Historical Levels of Consciousness refers to the specific time periods during which each level emerged, each representing a new stage of consciousness. It signifies the transformation of a civilization’s value systems and worldview, marking a pivotal moment when significant changes began to unfold. These shifts played an important role in influencing the overall development of the civilization and shaping the evolution of societies throughout history.
Level 1: Self-Reliant (Red)
Historical Timeline: 100,000 years ago.
Era: Middle Paleolithic Era (Old Stone Age)
Era Description: Dedicated to basic survival needs, this level represents the earliest human existence, where individuals are primarily concerned with food, water, shelter, and safety.
Era Development: Emergence of hunter-gatherer societies.
Era Evolution: Survival needs are strictly followed to ensure the continuation of the human species.
Evolution Cause: The emergence of early humans focused on survival, basic needs, and instinctual behaviors.
Level 2: Connector (Orange)
Historical Timeline: Between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago.
Era: Upper Paleolithic Era to Mesolithic Era (Middle Stone Age), leading to the Neolithic Era (Agricultural Revolution – starting around 10,000 years ago)
Era Description: Represented by tribalism and a strong sense of community, this level values traditions, rituals, predictability, and kinship.
Era Development: Development of agricultural societies and tribal structures.
Era Evolution: Survival needs (strictly followed at level 1) are merged with tribal customs that emphasize community and kinship.
Evolution Cause: The development of agriculture led to the establishment of tribal communities, enabling kinship ties and shared tribalism, which contributes to more effective survival success than staying at level 1.
Level 3: Opportunist (Yellow)
Historical Timeline: 3,000 to 5,000 years ago.
Era: Early Bronze Age to Early Iron Age
Era Description: Emphasizes power, dominance, and individual strength, manifesting through a single leader or a small elite focused on authoritarian structures and hierarchical societies.
Era Development: Early empires emerged as societies consolidated power and resources, driven by the need for centralized governance, giving rise to authoritarian leaders who could manage populations, and resources, and defend against threats by demonstrating their power and dominance.
Era Evolution: Tribal customs (tribes at level 2) are overpowered by power dynamics, as societies favor strong leaders. These leaders use their strength and power to dominate other societies and their resources through force and might, which strengthens survival success, and overcoming the fear of threats from rival societies.
Evolution Cause: Societies in rivalry against each other for limited resources, lead to conflicts that are resolved through the rise of powerful assertive leaders. Offering greater success, conveniences, and opportunities to the societies governed by dominant leaders, provoking an evolution to rise above level 2.
Level 4: Higher Calling (Green)
Historical Timeline: 2,000 to 3,000 years ago.
Era: Classical Antiquity (ancient Greek and Roman civilizations)
Era Description: Marked by law and order, structure, and ethics or morals to govern behavior.

It also saw the emergence of philosophical thought and democratic governance, with thinkers like Plato and Aristotle influencing ethics and law, shaping cultural values and social structures.
Era Evolution: Power dynamics (leaders at level 3) are replaced by law and order, establishing a moral framework that governs behavior.
Evolution Cause: The establishment of organized religions and legal systems provided moral order and stability in response to sociopathic leadership, societal conflicts, and dominion chaos in level 3.
Level 5: Trailblazer (Blue)
Historical Timeline: Approximately 1300s to 1600s.
Era: Renaissance (often considered part of the Early Modern Period)
