The 4 worlds revisited

WORLD 1 — Exponential enrichment
Abundance
Existence compounds you.
You don’t have to fight for your expansion. Existence itself keeps generating opportunities, rewards, enrichment, recognition and expansion. Even without deliberate effort, life keeps adding to you.
Effort → Amplification. Non-effort → Enrichment.

WORLD 2 — Receptive equilibrium
Acceptance
Existence accommodates you.
You are allowed to simply exist. There is no fundamental opposition, no constant tax on your energy. When you initiate something, existence responds proportionately and positively.
Effort → Positive returns. Non-effort → Peaceful existence.

WORLD 3 — Adversarial equilibrium
Resistance
Existence opposes you.
Your energy is predominantly consumed by maintaining basic equilibrium. You work to neutralise opposition, prevent deterioration and keep things from getting worse.
Effort → Maintenance. Non-effort → Deterioration.

WORLD 4 — Existential siege
Overwhelming opposition
Existence consumes you.
The opposition is so overwhelming that ordinary maintenance itself becomes difficult. Almost all available energy goes towards making the destruction, pressure and suffering bearable.
Effort → Making destruction tolerable. Non-effort → Overwhelming collapse.
