Notes by TK
Kyroot to :04. In the Body of Life picture a large blood vessel out of which a tributary vessel feeds man’s intellect and that only: the Yellow Circuit. Now picture man’s intellect/Yellow Circuit as feeding in turn specific processes / systems / purposes in 3-d life that could not exist otherwise. Many of these dependent processes/systems are not even recognized by men as depending on the Yellow Circuit.
Man’s job description is to make Life’s plans come to material conclusions; to make the invisible visible thru the intellect. Consider the question: W/o man’s intellect would exist? Man takes SL/secondary level dreams and turns them into semi, sub-level PL necessity. Once in place such SL activities become PL, i.e., necessary. Man is a quasi participant in SL creation. PL/primary level creation is already present, preempting the invisible; it is a fait accompli by Life. SL creation goes from the invisible (thought/plan) to the visible (deed); this is man’s unique purview.
PL and SL activity each has its singular, specific form of opposition. But man only finds fault in SL opposition. No moral outrage is felt by man at the animal level, PL, necessity of ‘eat or be eaten’ although it is not an enjoyable spectacle. This is not so re: wars of politics, religions etc.; the parallel to PL necessities is unseen. Why is this so?
More on the primitive not even dreaming of freedom. The primitive have less nourishment to their intellect; their dreams of freedom would be freedom from the elements, from hunger. More complex man’s dream of freedom would be freedom from ‘worry’, i.e., SL rather than PL realities. Man’s thus seeks freedom from the very source of his complexity, from ‘problems’ of life: personal problems.
If there were “world problems” man could not solve them, only Life could. There are no “world problems” only personal ones. “The problem is: being able to see problems”. This is the Dialogue feeding the Yellow Circuit.

Excursion
Look around at Life’s common systems/operations vis a vis man. Do they have any true PL necessity vs. sub-PL necessity?
