FOUR LEVELS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE

The urban environment is divided into four planes on which the human element is distributed. An individual may find himself/herself on any one of these levels at a given moment in his/her life.

1 - The Buried - Those who are rooted to the spot and are unable to go anywhere due to a lack of awareness, intelligence, vision or opportunity.

2 - Free-Roaming Ground Dwellers - Those who move along the ground in a constant state of competition and an ever-present desire to "get ahead". Such people are prone to envy, jealousy, greed and selfishness. They seek to manipulate others to achieve their goals.

3 - The Tethered - Those that have a capacity to fly freely, but find themselves tethered to events on the ground due to feelings of guilt and unresolved emotional ties. Such people live in a state of insecurity, pain and frustration.

4 - The Free - Those that exercise their ability to fly freely and no longer have any attachments to the competitive life on the ground. Such people have compassion for the other levels. They see the world with a love that neither demands or expects anything.
