RECONSTRUCTION & PLANNING - THE 6TH LEVEL OF THE CONSCIOUS EVOLVER

Reconstruction & Planning is the sixth level in the Conscious Evolver octagram. It is connected to the third eye chakra which is associated with our ability to see the big picture and use our intuition.

Now that we have received Divine Inspiration it is time to rebuild ourselves, our True Selves, with a sense of motivation and determination. We are like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. We have all the same physical make-up as before we entered our cocoon, but all our cells are arranged in a new pattern. We are a whole new being emerging, recycled from our old.

A re-creation of our past selves.

As the name suggests, there are two parts to this level.

First comes Reconstruction. This is where we let the inspiration flow. New ideas come to us about how we are going to become the new version of ourselves. Our creative minds have free reign of our thoughts, and we make sure not to place any judgments or limiting beliefs on what comes to mind for us. Anything is possible! There is no rush to this process either. The butterfly needs time to stretch and dry its wings before it is ready to take flight.

The second part of the level is Planning. This is where we take the ideas that flowed to us

during Reconstruction and make a plan. We create task lists and deadlines for ourselves. We come up with specific, concrete ideas for how we are going to be as our new selves. This is not yet the time to take Action though, we need to ensure our plan is in place first. Understanding our tendencies, we make sure not to avoid this stage and on the flip side we keep ourselves in check and don't linger in Planning either.

The Reconstruction & Planning level of the Octagram is really about bridging the two sides of the brain.

The right side of the brain is considered the feminine side. It is the side of the brain that is responsible for our creative, intuitive, emotional, imaginative traits. It is the side of the brain that we use for the Reconstruction phase. On the other hand, the left side is considered the masculine side. It is the side of our brain that we use for logical, analytical, factual, sequential thinking. That is the side that we need for the Planning phase of this level. As we bridge both sides of the brain we want to ensure that both sides are balanced and contribute equally to our Reconstruction & Planning. And when that happens we set ourselves up beautifully for the next level of the Octagram!
