Developing a social memory complex

[Anders]

I have an example of the shared-willpower idea (I got it from Morgue) that I first thought I would wait with until I had thought it through. It's sometimes useful to teach/learn so I will make an attempt to explain it now.

A marriage can be seen as a minimal social memory complex consisting of only 2 people. And the marriage as an SMC can be service-to-self or service-to-others. The tricky thing is that service to others won't cut it and make it an STO SMC unless there is an actual sharing of wills. And in third density that's generally not the case.

If the marriage is transaction-based, meaning based on service and expecting service in return, then that's still service-to-self. And even with self-sacrifice such as one spouse serving the other without expecting anything in return, it becomes a self-imposed victim situation. Because only if the partners' wills truly are joined then it's a single willpower with unified action. And that's for a social memory complex with only two people! Imagine an SMC with 10 people. It's extremely difficult to join 10 individual wills into a unified collective will. And then imagine an STO SMC with thousands of people, you get the idea. That requires extraordinary advanced coordination of personal wills. Not something we can do with our ordinary third density intellects or emotions.
