from The Meaning of Life: Ascending Jacob’s Ladder by Hazy Notion
To be viable, a person’s soul/identity should have a number of layers of consciousness with each layer drawing energy from different points on the Spectrum. The basic building blocks of a properly layered identity are the three Themes of Survival, Fertility and Status which repeat all the way along the Spectrum. Properly structured identities — both individual and collective — span all three of these Themes, but, for reasons that are explained below, only three.
The requirement to maintain a constant span of three Themes presents considerable difficulty for participants in the evolutionary process. As individual and collective identities move up the Spectrum the corresponding Theme on the lower end of the identity has to be closed down. If an identity attempts to embrace a fourth Theme the identity will become unstable and will flicker back and forth between the highest and the lowest Theme, causing these extremities to alternately pass in and out of consciousness.
Identities become afflicted in this way because the highest and the lowest themes are duplicates. When this happens each of the duplicated Themes is governed by a different Over-Theme, which compete with each other to define the duplicated Theme. These competing Over-Themes will demand two very different modes of expression for the duplicated Theme.
The most common problem confronting people at our current stage of evolution is the duplication of the Theme of Survival. A person can't evolve beyond Self identity, into the identity of Survival of Mind, while simultaneously retaining the identity of Survival of Self. The imperatives imposed on a person to survive in these two very different aspects of identity are in conflict and a person who is simultaneously exposed to both requirements for a prolonged period will be driven mad.
So, the strict rule, in order to remain sane and balanced, is that identities should only span three Themes of the Spectrum at a time. The three Themes must be consecutive, but not necessarily all dominated by the same Over-Theme. The sequence of Themes making up layers of identity will rotate as identity moves up the Spectrum.
An ordinary person, fully participating in a contemporary market society, will generally have the following range of the Spectrum within his or her identity.

A housewife who is languishing in a submissive relationship with a husband, and who has no Status identity of her own, might combine the three Themes in the following way. (It is common to relate to the family home through Territory identity).
