I'd imagine there would be certain thresholds established as life and technology evolved under co creative tensions between animated embodiments, internally oriented towards 1 of 2 internal  polarities.<br> One being an impulse towards dynamics of war, unresolved conflict propagation, domination, ignorance, self service, across domains of creativity, logic, abstraction, and adaptive intelligence.<br> The opposite pole is represented by underlying impulses and orientation towards dynamics of peace, love, freedom, truth, honesty, virtue, balance, harmony, authenticity and cooperative interdependence.<br>Local beings of opposing internal orientation  would always be at war or in between wars with the nearby regions, planets or whatever.<br><br>This middle section, which is above us still, is probably the thickest section, and it's widespread war is likely contained to a degree by beings of next level superior capacity and ability.<br><br>The next threshold might be populated with only the species who have survived threats from nearby beings of opposite internal orientation through eons of time.  Benevolently oriented beings not only match  or slight exceed the enemy through evolution as they battle against each other,, but the species with an internal orientation towards truth and virtuous dynamics of relationality, will be able to continue evolving in an internal dimension that might be largely inaccessible to those of more violent and unstable internal orientation. This internal dimensions might some how grow to become informative to ongoing technological evolution in a way that allows transcendence from engagement with those who war from internal mis-orientation and are locked out in a way from accessing higher levels without careful monitoring by superior beings.  <br>This highest non warring level of evolutionary development might create the threshold where the most internally and technologically old, wise, and evolved civilizations reside, and as we might be proper custodians of earth, so too might they act in co creative fashion from beyond the interference of less stable lower order dynamics. <br>You could imagine the greater technological evolution and internal ground from which to wield it, the greater the influence in the unfolding of the self organizing cosmos
