human instincts: religion, devotion, spirituality

The levels in human evolution by which one becomes aware of the content of each of these, and that content seems (subjectively) to be an absolute truth. However, it lacks a realistic context.

instincts: lying, pain avoidance, blame

These are all in the same energy pattern, evidently. A child lies and blames in an attempt to avoid pain.

power instinct

Level of evolution in consciousness at which one the trappings of political power (content-only) become available.

obedience / follower instinct

Obey the rules? Follow a leader? It's not really a consideration until this level.

sharing instinct

The point in spiritual evolution that an innate awareness of sharing (content-only) occurs.

excess / more instinct

The underpinning to that feeling to eat more or get more or keep more, even when you know you have enough.

giant sequoia

For comparison, willow trees are at 245 in TvF.

freedom instinct

Not everyone is concerned with freedom, but at this level in human evolution, it starts to matter...

outrage instinct

The outrage trigger is elemental in human evolution and one of the ways we can be manipulated by lies. With outrage comes a surge of force and a target to blame.

ritual instinct

The human instinct for "activities involving gestures, words, actions, or objects, performed according to a set sequence." --wikipedia.

Lunar New Year

"Lunar New Year is the beginning of a calendar year whose months are moon cycles, based on the lunar calendar or lunisolar calendar." --wikipedia

excitement-seeking instinct

At this level, the ego wants to "stir the pot" and go where the action is.

self-esteem instinct

Self-esteem without the context of constructiveness is simply narcissism.

sleep instinct

In terms of fundamental instincts, it is evidently second only to the instinct for life in a physical body.

status instinct / social climbing

"A social climber is a derogatory term that denotes someone who seeks social prominence through aggressive, fawning, or obsequious behavior." --wikipedia
