16.7
The human life experience
 
 
"What happens to I?"
  
 
"When does what happen to I?"
  
  W e know that much of our life experience is shaped by our awareness of events that happen to us. The experience of losing one or both parents. The experiences of growing up at school. Our first sexual experiences.  
  Whatever experiences we have undergone, there are principally two key questions relating to the human life experience "what happens to I?" and "when does what happen to I?"  
16.7.1 If only to be a fortune teller  
  The answer to the first question is better understanding life's journey- its good times and bad. This includes such essential education as sex education for children about to change during puberty, through to understanding the process of ageing and the final process of death.  
  In most western societies, the explanation of life's experiences has largely been seen as a parental responsibility for many years. However, now it is seen as an important part of school life that students learn within a classroom context important understandings about community life, sex, the danger of drugs and the processes of growing up.  
  In terms of describing these life ages- science has provided an essential framework. However within modern society this framework no longer translates into a meaningful template. The age of 18 bears no genetic significance to the development of the human being, compared to say the period 13 to 14 when for most children the changes of puberty take place. Similarly, the age of 65 has little or no significance in terms of physical changes, compared to the period of change within women known as "menopause" when the regular cycle of regeneration of the uterine lining and preparation for fertilization starts to slow down.  
  Without a framework that both aligns what we feel physically and what we experience and develop mentally, it is difficult to place into context the order of events that a person who successfully lives to an age of 72 or more may experience. We will discuss  
16.7.2 The UCA aligned cycle of life experiences  
  To provide some structure to our understanding of the cycle that is our lives, UCA provides a aligned lifecycle structure ( discussed in far more detail in future chapters).  
 
LEVEL NAME AGE RANGE AGE LENGTH
L0 All Our first form- the potential, the idea, the matter of existence. Eternal
L1 Foetal 0- to birth Mortal- (less than 1 yr)
L2 Infancy birth to 4 Mortal- (4 yrs)
L3 Childhood 4 to 11 Mortal- (7 yrs)
L4 Adolescence 11 to 19 Mortal-(8 yrs)
L5 Youthhood 19 to 33 Mortal-(14 yrs)
L6 Adulthood 33 to 50 Mortal-(17 yrs)
L7 Seniorhood 50 to 70 Mortal-(20 yrs)
L8 Elderhood 70 to death Mortal-VARIABLE
L9 Death The moment of dying and death Mortal
L10 Transition The moment of transition to angel, ghost Immortal
L11 Angel The stage of enlightenment as an angel Immortal
L12 All+ ME Our final journey, our final death and ultimate birth. Eternal
 
  In this chapter, we are concerned with L1- the Foetal and birth stage- the formation of the physical self and physical systems that provide the temple for the consciousness that is what calls itself I.  
16.7.3 The cyclical nature of the cycle of life  
  If you look at this list you will notice a number of different elements, most interestingly, the cyclical nature of the list. The list identifies ourselves as having originated from ALL, being part of ALL and ALL at the same time and ultimately returning to a unique consciousness of ALL, or UCA.  
  For most adult humans, the focus on the cycle of their own lives probably extends no further than a few weeks, or possibly even a few months. That is because our focus on the changes, transition and where we all head is focused more on the mortal experience of life- love, joy, emotions, hurt, ideas, people, regrets, memories.  
  So it is for many of us, our perspective on what is the cycle of human existence is possibly no longer or deeper in understanding than LEVELS 2 TO LEVEL 9. Anything before that, or after that is a mystery- a "grey" area where only ideas exist on what it might be. If only we truly knew what we were saying when we said we only have "ideas about existence (dreams, awareness in motion) beyond physical life". In other words, by stating the truth- we only have ideas- we describe the very thing that exists beyond life- boundless ideas and dreams and infinite possibilities.
