Where Do Exemplary Humans Come From?
I have known a small handful of people in my life (3 that I can think of) who I have come to label “exemplary humans.” They have a unique quality, but it’s not one that I can exactly put my finger on; it might not be the exact same quality in each of them. They seem to me to be advanced at being human beings – they are exemplary humans. [This, by the way, is an incredible statement coming from me, as I don’t particularly like humans – so to be an “exemplary human” is off the charts.] It’s very hard to explain the traits, but let me try – they seem to have an inner calmness, they are very excepting of others and non-judgmental, they are nurturing and understanding, they know themselves and are true to themselves, they seem to grasp the reality of a situation readily and deal with life with a perfect combination of level-headedness and compassion, they value the important stuff and not the material stuff. In a nut shell, to me, they seem like they really “fit” here. [Which is pretty awesome to me, since I generally feel like I don’t fit here at all.]
I identified my first exemplary human about 8 years ago, and I’ve been working on theories for this ever since. [And, by the way, I may have known, and may still know, more exemplary humans then I have identified, but perhaps I have not known them well enough to pick up on it.] The first theory I formed back when I identified my first exemplary human, it’s my Experienced Souls Theory. It goes like this: Maybe some of us have been here in this reality/dimension that we call “life on earth” more times then others. Maybe when we die our souls can go on to any number of other dimensions that we can’t even imagine with our little human pea-brains and this reality that we know as humans is just one of many options. If you follow this path of thinking, then it is very possible that some of us have been here to this dimension more often then others. And so my logic is that some people have more experienced souls for this environment and therefore they are better at it.
Some where along the way I came up with another possibility, my Home Turf Theory. It goes like this: Sticking with the idea that many different possible dimensions exist for our souls to hang out on, it seems reasonable to me that our souls may have a “home base” and some of our souls are from here originally. So naturally those people “fit” here better then the rest of us because they are literally more at home here.
Pretty far out, ah? Well yeah, I know, but it’s interesting to think about. I was recently sharing these theories with a friend, and I sort of wrapped it up by saying something like, “Do you know what I mean? Some people just seem to be so much better at being human then the rest of us.” To which he replied, “But don’t you think that has something to do with what kind of family environment they grew up in? Don’t you think people who are raised in a stable, loving and nurturing environment tend to have those qualities?” My first thought was that he must not have understood what I was identifying as “exemplary humans,” because there was NO WAY it could have such a logical, earthly, common-sense explanation. But as I opened my mouth to object, I had to stop myself - - - I thought about my three exemplary humans, one by one . . . Amy D. . . Comrade . . . Chaser . . . Damn it! It was true! They do all come from very loving and supportive family networks. So now I’m considering the Loving Family Theory. Of course there’s more to it then that – not everyone who grows up in a loving, stable family is destined to be an exemplary human, only the special ones. Only the ones whose home base is here and they have been here more times then the rest of us! There you have it – my all encompassing theory: The Experienced Soul, Home Turf, Loving Family Theory. I think it still needs some work.
[When contemplating this issue, one must take into consideration our culture. I suspect I would find many more exemplary humans outside of the western, civilized, modernized world. Let’s face it guys – our priorities are all screwed up. I need to re-read the Celestine Prophecy – it talks about how all our bullshit concerns - - politics, economics, power, religion, etc., is all just static, created to distract us from concentrating on becoming fully aware beings. Okay – enough – I’ll save that for another blog.]

Labels can be dangerous.... DO you have expectations of us all and only 3 out there have ever lived up to them? What if they fall off the pedestal you put them on? Where do they come from? The same place the rest of us do..
No No No Microe - you are misunderstanding,or I am mis-communicating. It's not that these people are on a particular pedistal for me. In fact, some of us that are not these "extemplary humans" are worthy BECAUSE of the adversity (or non advantage) we have had to battle. This is not a measuring tool. Many of us are exemplary humans in one way or another, but maybe not as naturally exemplary.
We need to discuss this over beers - - - I want you to see my point (even if you don't agree).
This is not new. It's called kosmic consciousness, thing's are happening to all of us living. Some just sooner than others.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR SEARCHING THE NET FOR THE ANSWERS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR...
