The novice or the very young have a primitive approach with little or no sense of proportions, nor the idea of the components necessary for the end product, let alone the pots, pans, measuring spoons, or oven. This represents your first life phase where it is better to be given cake to be eaten then to even fathom that you have the ability to create a cake. So in this phase of life we are in love with and rely on the baker.

In the second life phase you are learning what's required to belong and the expectations for the genders.

You may be aware of the ingredients for the cake but not the proportions, and you still rely on the baker and his staff to educate and assist you, in the way of how the group makes bakery products. If the baker was from the tribes of Africa to a European village to the Indian villages of Mexico, each has their own approach, tools and teaching methods. You may even become the apprentice of the baker, mimicking, serving and learning the ways, values and principles of the baker. You may even work the counter at the bakery, handing out cakes, with your name pinned on your apron, which identifies your relationship with the baker.

In the third life phase you are choosing to make a cake either for or with someone else. You are choosing to be in relationship as a baker. You must be committed to represent the baking process that the group you affiliate with has selected as their way, by choosing, commitment and living in the belief systems of the group. You have been trained in what is proper and you are following the course that the group has led. You then agree on the type of cake that you are making, along with the required ingredients and proportions, as well as joint responsibility for the outcomes of the cake. Here you may still work with the baker but now you're the same as him/her, or you may choose to open your own bakery, or choose to not be a baker at all and join the army. At the end of this phase you must choose a course of life that you are self obligated to represent.

And in the fourth phase you have acquired the knowledge and proficiency to become self obligated as the baker who provides cakes and other goodies consistently to the collective. Or, you've chosen another course of life that you are self obligated to represent in which you are symbolically recognized as that, more than yourself. You could be a fireman, a nurse, doctor, mother, or a bum. You are now obligated to that identity.

Each one of us is operating form one or more of these personal or symbolic approaches to life simultaneously. And also limited by the group's gender definitions.

These are the progressive phases that the physical body must evolve through to become a socially viable component in which it evolves beyond what it tells itself, what it experiences as reality (which is one's myth, and we all construct around our myth), to the information that it is taught about what constitutes reality and then symbolically represents that which the physical body cannot verify or experience.

An example would be that we perceive that the Sun goes up and down; we are told that it doesn't, but we still create around sunrise and sunset, and the basis of how we measure our reality is around the illusion of the first myth and the phenomena of how we measure time. We construct all of our experiences around the illusion of our measurement of time.

Since each of us has our own myth that we construct reality around then we all have our own sense of how we measure time and space. The goal is to have the ability to have a collective sense of time and space. The humanistic goal is to feel connected on an interpersonal basis and that we perceive that we are sharing the same sense of time and revolving around the same myth. And each quadrant increases the modalities that produces myths that include more people. So that more and more people share the same myth. The problem comes that we have different places on the planet with different myths that creates a different sense and measurement of time and space. We also have different gender, cultural and social myths.
