Ancestry // Identity Continuum

The Ancestry // Identity Continuum is an energy continuum focusing on how easily and clearly you can access shared universal knowledge.

## Ancestry

### What is the Ancestry?

The ancestry is everything you could possibly think of, combined into one entity. It is a shared repository of all the knowledge that any conscious being has ever thought of, and it can be accessed by anyone. A concise way to describe it is "the collective subconscious".

All conscious beings originate from the ancestry. When a new conscious being is created, a small piece of knowledge separates from the ancestry and forms an enclosed system known as an identity (see below). As the conscious being traverses the world that it lives in, it collects information along the way and makes choices, and as it does so, it accumulates knowledge inside itself. When the being dies, it returns to the ancestry, returning all the knowledge it has collected over its lifetime back to the ancestry. This is the process of learning. A conscious being starts with all of its continua balanced toward the middle, and during its lifetime, the continua shift up and down in a wave pattern. As it nears death, the being's continua return to a balanced state in the middle of all its continua.

The ancestry is represented with a swirl symbol, because every point on a swirl can be traced back to its center, similar to how every conscious being originates from the ancestry.

Thoughts are free to flow from the you to the ancestry, and back. When we learn new things, the information that we learn gets sent to the ancestry and becomes part of the shared repository. We can also access and take information from the ancestry through accessing a high ancestry state (see below). A healthy, rightward relationship with the ancestry involves a balanced amount of giving and taking knowledge to and from the ancestry. As long as you keep giving and taking, you won't run out of knowledge, so there is no need to feel guilt about using up all the knowledge, because since we all ultimately originate from the ancestry, all this shared knowledge is ultimately ours to access.

### Ancestry Energy

Having higher or lower ancestry energy refers to how easily you can access the ancestry; that is, how clear you are with your mind, and how clearly you understand the world at this current moment. If you have high ancestry energy, you can understand the world so well that you are able to rapidly give and take shared knowledge directly from the ancestry.

Having high ancestry energy is characterised by a state of:

* calmness, relaxation, and peace
* nothingness and simplicity
* understanding
* plenitude and abundance of unlimited energy, thoughts flowing freely

### High Ancestry State and Practical Uses of It

You can reach an high ancestry state through several different methods, which are listed on this page. Once you are in a high ancestry state, you can now access any information you want. When accessing information in a high ancestry state, it's helpful to pretend you are talking to a god, because it helps you put your ideas into words, which makes the ideas clearer. The ancestry needs a set of clear instructions in order to direct you to the exact information you want to access – since the ancestry is your tool, it can only give you what you tell it to give you, so you need to get clear about what you want from it. This is the process of making an intention.

However, since words are constructed from the identity (see below), being in a high ancestry state also means that you don't need to use words at all. It's possible to communicate to the ancestry just by thinking alone. Communicating through thoughts is more efficient than using words because you can move on to the next thought once you have fully comprehended on thought. With words, you need to finish saying a word in order for the listener to properly receive your message, but with thoughts, the listener can comprehend your thoughts right as you are thinking them. In other words, communication through thoughts works as fast as you can comprehend information, whereas communication through words works as fast as you can say words, and people can generally think faster than they can say words.

## Identity

### What is an Identity?

An identity refers to any individual conscious being. All identities share qualities of the ancestry, but each identity also has its own separate and unique characteristics that makes it different from every other identity.

Identities are a tool used to help the ancestry learn new information. The three key things that differentiate one identity from the ancestry are:

* Unlike the ancestry, identities can directly make things happen in the physical world. And unlike identities, the ancestry knows everything. An identity can access a high ancestry state and get help from the ancestry, but it cannot ask the ancestry to do things for itself, because the ancestry cannot do things, it can only think. In other words, the ancestry can help an identity be more likely to move rightward, but it cannot directly make it move rightward. The ancestry creates identities to make up for its lack of ability to do things in the physical world.
* Identities are small individual units of consciousness, and therefore they have a limited scope of cognition power. This means that one identity cannot possibly be skilled at doing every single type of task because it doesn't have the capacity to learn how every possible skill. As a result, each identity is specialised to have a specific skill; in other words, each identity is best at using a specific kind of energy.
* Identities have a limited lifetime, and they die when their energy runs out. This is to keep the cycle of learning going – if the ancestry only created identities and did not let them die, it would never get the information that the identities learned over their lifetimes, and so it would never grow. When an identity dies, it becomes part of the ancestry again and its energy is replenished.

No identity is "more valuable" than another. Although all identities are created with different skills, that does not mean they are created with different *value*. Whether or not an identity creates meaning, moves rightward, and helps the ancestry learn is dependent on how the identity chooses to use its skill, not what skill it is initially born with. As mentioned above, no single identity can be skilled at every possible thing, because identities have a limited lifetime and a limited scope of cognition power. And since not all tasks require the same kind of energy, each identity is specialised toward utilising a certain energy, to accommodate for the broad range of energy that is needed to accomplish all types of tasks. Identities are meant to work together and combine their specialised skills – in essence, Identity A that knows Skill A can do Task A, and Identity B that knows Skill B can do Task B. On its own, Identity A cannot do Task A, but if Identity A works together with Identity B, they can accomplish both Task A and B together.

Identities are represented by a triangle symbol because of its sharp and clear edges, which represent the clearly understandable nature of the physical world. It also has three edges, which represents how we are living in the third spatial dimension.

### Identity Energy

Having higher or lower identity energy refers to how efficiently you can work on the specific task that you are best at. If you are in a high identity state, you are mostly focused on yourself, and you are paying attention to how rightward you are doing in the current moment. Being in a high identity state means that you are concentrating on learning as much as you can, so that you can later report the information that you learned to the ancestry.

Having high identity energy is characterised by a state of:

* attentiveness
* high expectations
* complexity
* curiosity
* always looking for something new to learn
* limited resources, and coming up with ways to use them efficiently

## Examples of Situations with High Ancestry Energy

### Flow State (Rightward, Ancestry, and Light)

The state of flow is a state of high rightward, high ancestry, and high light. This is an example of how accessing a high ancestry state can help you work more efficiently and rightwardly.

### The   B I ꩜ S P ∆ C E

The   B I ꩜ S P ∆ C E   is strongly associated with ancestry energy because of the constant flow of thoughts, the endless possibilities, and the symbolically endless terrain.

### Dreams

Dreams are like visits to the   B I ꩜ S P ∆ C E   , but they have been naturally built into your daily routine.

## Evidence of Ancestry and Identity

The unity and diversity of life is a phenomenon that reflects the nature of the ancestry and identity. All life comes from one common ancestor, and that common ancestor is analogous to the concept of the ancestry. Through evolution, the common ancestor diverged into several different species with body structures and behavioural structures that are specialised to help them survive in their specific environments, a concept that is similar to the nature of identities. Some species even work together through mutualistic symbiosis, where each identity uses its own special skill to help others. In other words, this is not all just metaphysical nonsense, this can sort of be applied to real situations.

The process of evolution draws parallels to the process of learning, in that both processes involve taking feedback from the environment and developing strategies that are best suited to succeeding in that environment.

## Artistic Descriptions of the Ancestry

* This video describes what it is like to be in a high ancestry state through video and audio.
* This poem by Julian Gough accurately describes the idea of the ancestry. In fact, as stated in this blog, it was written by the ancestry itself while the writer was accessing information during a high ancestry state.
