We see that in the West, for example, that the standard of the family, which was inviolable up until the 1780s, the standard of the family is going through enormous transition, and the family order is breaking down, the bargain is breaking down. One of the byproducts of that is, for example, the legalities now that are directly connected to marriages, prenuptial agreements, all kinds of things that are written down legally because the basic bargain has deteriorated.

So what we're seeing here in the third stage is that the moment that we get out of the wave—after all, that's the only reason the bargain is there. I hope you get that. The only reason that the bargain is there is because there is a wave in the emotional system, and the bargain is an attempt to fix the wave. The bargain says, "Okay, here's our deal, this and this for this and this. That's it." It's an attempt to fix that wave.

Anybody who deals with 40/37s, though, knows that because they're in a wave that the bargain can take on different perspectives, the bargain can look like it's changed, and it can feel like it's changed. In other words, this is an ongoing process that we saw with the Root Gates moving up, trying to fix the Emotional Center, and the 40th Gate moving down, trying to fix the Emotional Center, fix the bargain. "Here's the deal, whether you're up or down, here's the deal." Now, of course, as long as there's the motor wave that's practically impossible because the motor is so powerful.

So one of the most essential things about the future of bonding is the elimination of the need for a bargain. It's not about, "If I do this, you do that." It's not about, "If I love you this much, you have to love me that much." It's not about all the bargains that have been built into our relationship with the other. "You're a good neighbor, if..." It's all these bargains that are inherent, and the bargain is going to disappear.

As long as we have an emotional wave, everything connected to the Solar Plexus Center is always trying to control that wave. It's always trying to fix that wave. It's always trying to get it to a point that it won't go up and down and away from some point that can be consistent. So the moment we have this transformation, that's an incredible thing because that's the moment that the way in which community meets each other that they can meet each other without having the distortion of the wave, or the need to follow emotional authority.

This is one of the basic transformations that takes place. Those beings who will come into the world, and this afternoon and I will show you what they look like, not everyone is going to carry that mutation. And it means that there are still going to be those that are caught up in the wave, and in being caught up in the wave have enormous difficulties being able to find a fixed way to relate to each other. You're going to have a whole new group of beings that don't have that bargain, that don't operate out of that, and no longer are subject to emotional authority, which is, as we know, waiting out the wave.
