Something very profound to understand about our ancestors is that you have nothing in common with anyone born before 1781, despite the illusion. You have a totally different inner system. You're wired differently. We may look similar on the surface, but we are not. And the difference isn't simply that we are wired differently in the infrastructure, we are biologically different.

So, think about these ancestors of ours, these precursors, who were only Left, penetrating the world, and strategically trying to ensure their ability to maintain the stability and the well-being of their form. What did they give us? They gave us a conquered world. They gave us God. God belongs to the strategic seven centered beings; they created it, they worshipped it, and they died for it. It is their strategic element, a goad, and a focus. Trust in God but tie your camel to the tree.

Seven centered beings gave us our philosophies and the fundamental roots of our science. They gave us the art, and the music. Our world is saturated with its seven centeredness. Nine centered beings who bow down to the seven centered God, seven centered morality, seven centered philosophies, are the not-self, as strategic a creature as you'll ever want to meet, the true inheritors of the seven centered being.

We Are Not Seven Centered

One of my favorite jokes about seven centered yoga is that it’s how to keep your body in line with being a seven centered being. Yes, yes. Homogenization has funny twists and turns to it. The dilemma is that we are not seven centered at all, and we are not in any way strategic in the sense that they were. We are a transitional form, we are this and that. And we are something new.

What did the seven centered being give us? What does strategy give you? It gives you a plan, a reason, and an intent. This is what the seven centered being was all about: Reasons and plans. The New Age loves to say, “The great plan,” but these are seven centered parrots.
