The 4 Forms of Civilization

Form 1, 2, 3 Civilizations: and the relationship to the planet upon which each emerges, the star system in which it exists, and the galaxy within which it is but a minor part.

Form 1 – this civilization harnesses the energy output of an entire planet.

Form 2 – this civilization harnesses the energy output of a star, and generates about 10 billion times the energy output of a Form 1 civilization.

Form 3 – this civilization harnesses the energy output of a galaxy, or about 10 billion times the energy output of a Form 2 civilization. (10,000,000,000 X 10B = 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 - 100 quintillion times the energy output of a Form 1 civilization.)

A Form 1 civilization would be able to manipulate truly planetary energies. They might, for example, control or modify their weather. They would have the power to manipulate planetary phenomena, such as ****hurricanes****, which can release the energy of hundreds of hydrogen bombs. Perhaps volcanoes or even earthquakes may be altered by such a civilization.

A Form 2 civilization may resemble the Federation of Planets seen on the TV program Star Trek (which is capable of igniting stars and has colonized a tiny fraction of the near-by stars in the galaxy). A Form 2 civilization might be able to manipulate the power of solar flares.

A Form 3 civilization may resemble the Borg, or perhaps the Empire found in the Star Wars saga. They have colonized the galaxy itself, extracting energy from hundreds of billions of stars.

By contrast, we are a Form 0 civilization, which extracts its energy from dead plants (oil and coal). Growing at the average rate of about 3% per year, however, one may calculate that our own civilization may attain Form 1 status in about 100-200 years, Form 2 status in a few thousand years, and Form 3 status in about 100,000 to a million years. These time scales are insignificant when compared with the universe itself.

Humanity (the civilization which IS Humanity) is like these Form 1-3 civilizations.

Humans are Form 0, in that they can't control their natural energies, nor their weather. (these are symbols - energies: blood, hormones, neurons; weather: emotions, feelings, passions)

Humanity is on a similar course (as it is a major part of the evolution of civiliation) though it can only be seen - witnessed - in and by individuals, here and there, in every generation. For example, while the rest of humanity was still at Form 0, Jesus was a Form 2 or Form 3. And earlier, while the rest of humanity was still at Form 0, Buddha was a Form 1 or Form 2.

Thus, the New Man, who has not emerged yet, while the rest of humanity is still at Form 0, New Man will be a Form 3, and "may resemble the Borg, or perhaps the Empire found in the Star Wars saga. They have colonized the galaxy itself, extracting energy from hundreds of billions of stars."

Now, of course you must understand, the descriptions above of the Form 3 New Man, would read quite differently and resonate quite differently in other Form 3 Men. Thus, the word "Borg" above - signifying to Form 0 humans, a "bad thing" - really just suggests, an integrated form-of-life, where ALL parts of the being, toes to nose, are conscious, aware, and participate in the entire life of the life-form.
