What is the Survival Sequence 

Are Instinct and Duty part of this ?

Why is it in a Sequence ?

The Modern Day Human Network

Survival Sequence Turns into Survival Scale

Consider this scenario.

On the plains of the Old American West.  North Dakota. Not a lot of people around, no houses, structures or shelter.  Mother is travelling with her two kids, boy age 6 and girl age by horse drawn wagon to a town 50 miles away.  A pair of horseback Blackfeet Indians spot them and pursue, howling a tribal call.  In hot pursuit to kill or enslave.

This is an immediate Survival Situation 

The mother yahh's the horses to run at top speed.

Getting away from the Immediate Threat to Survival is JOB #1.

Kids hungry - it must wait !  Kids arm is cut - it must wait !

Kids Scared - Just Hang on and ride fast !  

The First Action - the Immediate Goal  the Highest Most Important  * * *point on the Survival Sequence, is to Survive from that Threat.

Duty enters in here.  The Mother has the Duty of a Parent - to save her children !  It is her Instinct that she feels this and will act on it, with extreme bravery and to her death as necessary.

First, try to outrun the Indians so all can be safe.  Her children will survive better WITH her.

Failing to outrun the Blackfeet, the Mother tells the son to pull out and ready the rifle and get any knifes or weapons out of the bag.   And slows the wagon to stop and fight by hand.

The mother ready's and fires from being the wagon and hits one of the Indians.  The Mother gathers knives and spoons and rocks to fight by hand as needed.

One Indian is off the horse on the ground, the other is circling her wagon.  She comes out firing again - knicking the second Indian so he turns and she fires again.   The Indian now knows she is a good shot and with one down, decides to leave the situation.

If required, the mother would have fought this second Indian by hand with knives and rocks while telling the kids to run.  And she would fight until there was a winner.

This is the First Step on the Survival Scale - TO SURVIVE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION - from AN IMMEDIATE THREAT.  It has with it the ultimate Duty of the Parent to make sure the children survive.  Best would be with her also, but the children must survive.

This is an Immediate Survival Threat - in your environment that you must fight off.

It includes Duty - in this scenario the Duty is of the Parent to make sure the Children survive.

======================

Lets proceed to the next step on the Survival Sequence.

Shelter - Move to a safe place with shelter far enough away where there wont be another attack.

The mother rides the wagon and finds a house with a barn.

Noone being home - she sets up in the barn.  Shelter from the weather and now out of sight from visible threats.

She proceeds to next check the medical situation.  Are you ok  ? Are you hurt ?  The children and bruised and scratched and some crying.  She checks it all to make sure its ok and gives them both a hug and tells them we're safe, you're safe now, nothing else is going to happen.  Sh Sh SH - its ok.  This helps the children reset from the emotional shock of the dangerous situation so that family can not focus on the next survival step.

Water and Food - They go up to the apparently empty house, get inside and look for a few bandages and anticeptic to cover the scratches.  Then head to the kitchen to get a loaf of bread and some water. 

While the children are eating the mother looks out around the perimeter of the house just in case the threat returns, and hunts for and finds more backup weapons.

Next in the sequence is sleep as its getting dark.   The kids are set up in one room together, with a chair on the door and told about the escape route to use if necessary.   The mother finds some whiskey and a chair and turns out the lamps and keeps watch.

In the morning - a neighbor comes by to check on the chickens and pigs and a conversation is had about what occurred and how to get safely to town.

The Farmer escorts the family to the local town 10 miles away.

Natural Instinct   *********

This is a Natural Instinct, Natural Response, Natural Law handling that humans will go through.

Motivations   ********

Why is it laid out in this Sequence ?

Top Down - To Survive !  To not be killed.   That's how Natural Law works.  That's how your instinct works.

Here's an Example from Africa:

A man is attacked by a Lion.  But he got away !

"Oh, I survived that attack by the Lion !  Phewww ! What a Relief !"   As he leans against a tree in the shade.

Another man approaches - looks him over and says . . but . . . . . man, you've got a piece of wood piercing your abdomen !    Man who Survived says - "Oh, yes, lets take care of that".   

See, the man had such relief from surviving the charging lion who bit and scratched him and could have had him for dinner, he didn't even notice the other urgent medical situation. Why ? Because it was way down the Natural List in terms of intensity.  In terms of Priority.  Some minutes later after the Lion Threat has gone and the man's adrenaline has slightly worn off - he will feel the stick in his abdomen and want to address it.

Its also has a time factor.

Threat wants to take a child away from the mother - is nearly equivalent to Death.

Threat with a gun or spear, or a lion with teeth - is a lethal threat.

Shelter or Medical next depending on the particular situation or threat and weather.  If its pouring rain, one must find shelter before he can address the bullet in the neck.

Medical - depending on the severity, is the next threat to survival.  If shot by a bullet, must dig the bullet out disinfect it.   Cuts, bruises and other medical requirements would be scaled or triaged.

Time factor - stop the bleeding is an immediate time factor.  First up.   All other medical situations wait.

Warmth and cooling or a shelter situation could be life threatening situation to address immediately, for example:  if a person fell in a river in the wintertime.

Food and Water and Sleep - Humans can go along while without these so they are well down the list in an intense survival situation / war zone situation.

So Food Water and Sleep are well down the list as they affect immediate survival the least in comparison   Lower Priorities.

The Survival Sequence

Immediate Threat Handling

Shelter - out of sight, out of weather.

Medical Attention - Emotional Shock Handling 

Food and Water

Rest/Sleep

Full Safety from the original threat

Definition:  The Survival Sequence is the sequence of steps an Individual or Family or small Group goes through to survive a Dangerous Threat that is happening now !

You do the sequence in order as humans can survive with out food water and sleep for a long while while on the run.  Medical can be put off, must be, if the Threat will do worse harm or kill.     But Medical is first to check and address once some form of shelter has been attained. 

You get the idea ?

Modern Day Human Network

Now - we will add in the Modern Day Human Network to this equation.

The Human Network - expands

History of Survival Sequence and Necessities 

Egyptians had pyramids built - shelter, storage and worship

Greeks built Modern Cities - and had some form of plumbing and fresh water routes built.

Romans built Modern cities - again with aqueducts for water, plumbing.  

Europe and much of the world - you build your own house near a river, so you had shelter and water, and had pigs and chickens for food.  The wife sewed their own clothes. 

There were towns to travel to and get supplies and more animals.

The American West - same as the above.  

There was no A/C, no heating for the winter except for making fires.

You had to hunt your own food, or raise your own food. 

you had to find your source of water

Citizens had to know and find a medical doctor for assistance - often at a distance.

Individual Houses - Shelter

Towns with Sheriffs, supplies, food.

Friends who could be leaned on for help with crops or trouble.

1800 - Then the Industrial Revolution - and the telephone, electricity, the automobile, the airplane, building structures to hold more people. paved roads, modern sewage lines, modern fresh water delivery systems,  farms gallore who brought their fruit and vegetables and pigs to market to buy.   And also supplies nad clothes.

The Human Network was expanding at a very fast clip.

How ?   

Through Inventions - electricity, telephone, automobile, airplane.  More abundant and better shoes and clothes.  More available and better medical. including dental.

As this progressed throughout the world - the inhabitants of earth enjoyed and a new  stable higher level on the Survival Scale  - 

Bigger Cities with Fresh running water, Sewage, abundant food markets, supplies, clothing, shoes, schools, churches. buses or automobiles to move across town on paved roads.

Now the citizens of the West had risen to another new higher level of stability.

Their Survival was not under constant threat from Indians, or invading forces.

Water and food were readily available.  And Medicine was improving and available.

So - look at the Survival Scale above - the Western Cultures around 1940 had risen above Full Safety from the Threat.  Life was more routine.  Jobs, transportation, family dinners, water, Home Doctor visits, sufficient clothing and supplies.   Not affluent, but more comfortable.

Survival Scale for the Group - Nation - World

Safe and More Comfortable with Reliable Sources (food water, medicine, shelters & supplies)    Plus Freedom !

Things were getting better.

Threats for Europe and USA were now farther away in the form of other Countries. Not close by tribes such as Genghis Khan, or the American Indians.

Cities were big - abundance was rising.  Crime the Mob and Gangs did exist locally, so there were local threats, but more so to financial business extortion.

As the Industrial Revolution raced forward - the Western Cultures moved into another new Level on the Scale - Comfort and Conveniences and Safety - from within the Country, USA, Canada, England, France.

World War however disrupted this safety in 1915 and 1936 for 5 years each and many citizens had to travel out of their increasingly Safe Environments to travel to another Environment to fight a Great Threat who could threaten to destroy their country and thus their now risen place survival Scale. 

NEXT

Connect this back up with Survival in the Modern Day - What Sits Exist Today ?

Why are we laying this out ?   Because our modern citizens are asleep to the Dangerous Quiet Threats that exist and with - attacks by terrorists from within or - remote cyber attacks or - with a Government Takeover from within who by change of policy withholds your survival needs.

So Basically - Humans have fallen into a Complacency Slumber at the very Top of the Survival Scale - Comforts - Entertainment - Luxury - have forgotten about the threats that exist which could crash their location on the scale.

Foreign Enemies planning to invade and take over.

Foreign Enemies who have already infiltrated YOUR government and paid them off.

Your own Government Taken over, and turning against the citizens. YOU.

The Hidden well dressed bad guy - whom you are blind to.  Carrying out his Strategy Effectively and Quietly, while whispering sweet nothings into your ear.

While Citizens are busy busy busy with the rush of life and their own universe and their own problems and stress - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >  OTHER DANGERS HAVE BEEN FORMING

Your present Comfort becomes taken for granted and now isn't as good as it used to be.

Your present Entertainment is probably pretty good.

Your luxury and the city of luxury around you makes you feel pretty safe.

So - you are rushed and not paying attention.

You have been safe for 50 years - so stop looking for threats.  Become blind to Bad Guys.

Don't know in general that Hostile with a Smile is their main tactic.  

So - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ->   Bad Guy is sitting right next to you  !      :  )    Smiling    :  (

World's Survival Scale - and YOUR Duty

The Survival Sequence for the Individual/Family - Turns into the Survival Scale for the Group, State, Country or World.

This means - an overall current condition for the group, State, Country, World - of safety, shelter, medicine, water, food.  

Where is a particular country is in regards fresh drinkable water, safety, food.  That is where that country sits on the Survival Scale.  Low - Medium - High

• An Individual or family may be in a survival sequence situation for a few hours or days
• A group may be in a survival war for months or a year.
• A Country could be so oppressed that its millions of citizens have no reliable water, or abundant food and thus are starving, while under control of an oppressive regime.  This could go on decades.

Survival is not - you live or you don't.  It is a Scale   * * *  What is Survival - Page 1 * * *

Highest end - you survive - live well. comfortable safe

Preparation   Prediction   Duty   Strategy

What does this have to do with you.   In Today's Western Worlds.  The USA ? 

What does the Survival Sequence have to do with today - Modern Day - the Present or the Future.  Bad Guys.  You ! ?  The World over there ?

In Summary:  The Western Civilizations and its Citizens Being High on the Survival Scale is a Very New Thing !    And it has been taken HEAVILY for Granted. 

A Bigger Better Human Network Gets Built

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Inventions by Necessity within a Free Market started the boom of the Industrial Revolution.

Electricity, Light Bulbs, Heated Homes, Automobiles, Airplanes.  Faster shipping of medicine and supplies from farther distances.

The Industrial Revolution - First and Second - progressed Western Countries much higher up on the Survival Scale.  Dependable clean water. Plumbing. Abundant Food.  Military Weapons and Location brought safety from invasion.   The lives of the citizens were no longer on the edge of extinction from starvation, water illness, lack of medicine or invasion and being killed or enslaved.

Human Network Expands with inventions, creations, hard work - putting a Network Together of reliable, controllable clean water for all - Delivered to all citizens.

Your Food is grown, processed and delivered - to all citizens

This creates a Country with a Huge Human Network of Reliable clean Water, abundant food, Shelter, Medicine, Safety - for all Citizens. 

SEQUENCE OF BUILDING THE HUMAN NETWORK

Necessity  - - ->   Inventions / Creations - - - > Human Network Builds up Faster

The Survival Scale 

                        SURVIVAL SCALE

                              ============

                                - Luxury

                                -

                                - Comfort and Entertainment Plus W F S S SH and FREEDOM RIGHTS

                                - Safety , water, food, supplies S M W F SH S and FR HEAT COOLING

                                - Better, Improving W F S S SH(Water food Safety Med supplies Shelter)

                                -

                                -  At Risk - Water Food Medicine (not reliable, no machinery, no Safety)

                                -  Scarce Unreliable Water Food Medicine

                                - 

                                -  Slave - No Freedom Some Food

                              ============

Survival Scale is a Group - City - State - Country - World - Scale - that all the Citizens experience.  There generally exist pockets of better or worse within a State.

So - being at the lower end of the Survival Scale is not good. Or Comfortable  It is just trying to survive.  It is, an in the present fight for survival, or have to give up under the yoke of slavery - female, black or other.

It is a Scale - this Survival Thing.

40 % of the World is low to medium on the Scale.

The West is now high up on that scale.   Plentiful "Plus" -  Image - Entertainment - Distractions !

* * * War and Changes in Governments tip the scales intermittently.

How Did the West get here ?

Some of the Great Events in Recent History:

The Enlightenment in Europe - 1685- 1815

Agricultural Revolution  = 1650 = 1885

The First Industrial Revolution   1760 - 1840

American Revolutionary War and Independence 1770-1785

French Revolution (removing Feudalism, raising living standards) 1789 - 1799

Paved the way to Abolish Slavery in 1865

Gas Engine Invented 1872

Telephone Invented 1876

Electric Light Bulb 1879

Gas Engine Car 1886

AC Electricity late 1800s

Second Industrial Revolution 1870 - 1914

World War I   - 1914-1918

World War II - 1939-1945

The Computer Revolution - Computers  / hyper electronics / medicine

Countries Being Higher on the Survival Scale is a New & Recent Achievement

This includes FREEDOM !

America Europe - the West - have just recently risen out of Oppressive Class Systems, Oppressive Government / Religious Combos and Slavery.  Along with the Industrial Revolution, the Enlightenment and American Independence, The West has moved into a new higher Strata on the Survival Scale.  It has become much better for many more people.  More reliable, abundant and safer.  

More targets followed the above achievements/advancements such as - the Civil Rights Movement, Women's Liberation - and the sum total of all these major history achievements and movements progressed the Western Nations into new Strata of Survival for nearly 100% of the citizens.

So what does the Citizenry do from 1920-1980 - ENJOY IT - CREATE IT - for a while creating Americana, homes and neighborhoods.  All that is great, fun, necessary. Celebrate the Inventions, create the Middle Class Boom.   Pursue this new level of comfort and safety for so many.    This was a new thing !

Differentiation of Freedom vs Others

Freedom is the Human / Spiritual Quality that has newly been added for much of the world

Water - Food - Medicine - these are Physical Survival Requirements - day to day

Comfort Entertainment Luxury - make life more enjoyable.

But without the most important Quality Freedom - the higher end of the Scale will not be enjoyed.  It will be imprisonment with addiction and "fun".  It can be safe, if you have luxury and resources.  But the "Rich" Individual will be unhappy.   And with that Freedom under threat - you best address the situation.  Freedom will ALWAYS be under THREAT - until the Bad Guys are Removed.

Lessons to Learn

After Surviving a War or 48 hour Immediate Survival Situation - you want to get back to reliable water, food and medicine - get back to life as usual.  With Freedom.

As the Human Network expands and raises Nations to Higher Levels on the Survival Scale - the citizens tend to "forget" where they were before and what it took to get them there.  And so open the door for it to be taken away.  Not too smart.

With these new human "riches" of Survival -  High on the Survival Scale - what's next ?

Create more computers, annual phones one must buy ? Build higher skyscrapers in half the world.  While ignoring and using the other half of the world and all  - its - people ?  

Let the Military Industrial Complex build bigger and better bombs ? Or allow Terrorists to come in and which could destroy all the Water Reservoirs and Electrical Substations

Danger Still Exists - FOR ALL - West and East - The Job is Not Complete

Why ?

The citizenry eventually slip into the Comfort Coma.

And the Bad Guys Never Stopped Working !

The Risk ?   Losing all the Wonderful work and brilliant human movements, advancements and inventions.

The Risk ?  Dropping back down the Survival Scale in a big thud !

The Great Danger Still Exists.   Even though the West is higher on the Scale !

Only 2 of the 4 BIG JOBS are complete

1) Agricultural  & Industrial Revolutions plus  Inventions  & hard work    DONE

2) Human Evolution through Enlightenment / American - French Revolutions / Slavery Abolished - DONE 

These first two who have raised 2/3rds of the World to a higher stable Strata on the Survival Scale.

Reliable Water, Ample Food, Safety and Security, Freedom. Comfort. 

The Remaining  2 Jobs

3)  a ) Remove the Bad Guys running the Western Governments, Corporations, the Media and CIA (Control, Influence and Authority sectors). These bad cats are quietly working hard to takeover and imprison the West using Ideas and relying on the citizens votes - citizens who are too busy, comfortable, selfish to look and act, who also have an extreme tendency for addiction. 

b) Remove Bad Guys running Asia, Africa, South American Nations -  Oppressive Governments and control the Corporations  which exploit the easier to control labor and mineral rich countries.

4) Raise up these Developing Countries to the same level on the Survival Scale as the Western nations are currently.

The World's Survival Scale and Your DUTY

Citizens * * * Transition * * * to * * * * * * DUTY

In other words - this is going to be a "Citizen's Transition" from -  "YOUR Transition" from -  Entertainment , Disconnect, Disassociation, Self-Preservation & Abandonment 

Back onto the Playing Field of the USA - Back onto the Playing Field of the World.    

Until the FULL JOB is COMPLETE WORLDWIDE - 

Utilizing - Demonstrating  - Carrying out          D - U -T - Y !

Summary of the Modern "State of the Citizens"

Weak people bring about Tough Times !

Complacent people bring about Tough Times !

Non-Looking citizens allow Tough Times to Recur - Again - and Again !

Citizens unwilling to Act - Perform their Duty - spectators - Allow Tough Times to Recur !

Expanded Definition of Duty

D -U -T - Y   is the main tool to bring about Better Conditions. - Survival, Safety, Freedom, Happiness - FOR ALL

DUTY can be further DEFINED to be:

• Doing the Right The Thing - help others by taking on the Top Priorities affecting "the many" in Sequence in less fortunate circumstances.
• For the Right Reasons - doing it for others, not for your $, not for your betterment (of course with Life and Natural Law, it does come back to you in good form)
• And Continuing to Do it - Persisting / Continuing is a Vital Part of Duty.  Do not stop or give up no matter what another says or threatens.
• Until the Job is Complete

Result:  A Free, Safe & Abundant World.  Where all Citizens have reliable water, abundant food, consistent Shelter and Safety, Freedom with Rights -  and a healthy planet to live on.

All of it - Provided by Duty - and moderated by Ethics and Reason
