This is an amazing article Dani, I really resonate with what you are saying here. I have been all three of these archetypes in my time.

It's a really valid question that you are asking, so I am going to do my best to answer you.

How do we continually bloom?

For me the bloomer is quite a special way of being. You have described the bloomer as using alchemy to transmute negative situations into positive outcomes. I take a lot of my understanding from this description.

This is a way of being which has the potential to catalyze and energize people and situations around them, and the means for doing this is in a particular way of being. For me it's in perfecting that way of being, which is a continual process. If we are finding ourselves stuck, well then maybe there is greater room to grow into, or a further refinement to an already amazing archetype.

What it boils down to is assumptions, habits, and patterns. Even good habits need to be continually reviewed and renewed. In truth each moment is an entirely new situation with entirely new potentials. We may see the echoes of the past in this moment, but the possibilities are actually endless.

Do We Need to Struggle to Grow?

So the question is - do we need struggle and stress to actually grow? In the case of the survivor it's necessary, but the bloomer is moving into a greater realm of space and freedom. The bloomer is actively questioning everything including their own tendencies and assumptions.

My simple answer is no we do not need stress to grow and blossom. Let me explain myself further.

In a sense the struggle is imaginary. Because struggle is based in so many assumptions, it relies completely on projecting into the past and future, making calculations and imagining various scenarios. It doesn't really have much to do with what is happening right now. It's more like a biological, emotional, and mental reaction to strong situations.

Zero Point Field

What is happening right now for a lot of folks is that we are evolving rapidly as a race. This is all contingent on the evolution of individuals within the race (of human beings).

The strange quiet periods that people are experiencing are here for a reason. What it is called is the Zero Point. Some physicist came up with this term, it's not really important who they were - what is important is how it has come to be a metaphor for a way of being.

You see we are very much used to thinking about things in a linear fashion. For example this string of events - an intense situation occurs, I respond in some way, the situations resolves or changes accordingly. Like one, two, three.

I will get to Zero Point very soon, but first I need to explain that our experience is not linear anymore. That one, two, three is what we would call a single timeline. What we are starting to live into right now is a reality with many active timelines all happening simultaneously.

We need zero point in order to have some kind of reference point while we jump between timelines or dimensions as some people call them. Humans still have an incredibly strong pull towards identifying with static images of ourselves and how we think life works. This is why Zero Point is imperative, because in that strange emptiness where there is no struggle - that is where the portal opens.

Conclusion

It was just a dream where struggle was necessary, because there exist realities and dimensions of effortlessness - where such a notion is laughable. If we are truly seeking to blossom then we need to be open to such possibilities. The possibility that life can manifest in such coherent and complete ways.

Incredibly perceptive of you to talk about the tendency to create drama when things get too easy and pleasant. And that's just our bad habits again, dragging us back into the bullshit. It really does come back to navigating moment to moment, and being intensely sharp and aware.

This is really about the next step in evolution, which involves a whole lot of us on the edge of reason embodying a new way of being that doesn't struggle or fight - yet inexplicably blooms. It requires a certain strength, not a holding strength that forces anything. It is more a strength that allows us to continually remain open in the face of generations worth of assumptions and zombified human beings living these out.

So there's no real easy to follow step here, it can only be emobdying our highest truth from moment to moment. Using everything as a portal or an invitation- challenges, beautiful occurrences, and also mild uninteresting happenings.
