Synopsis
Suffice to say I was inspired to try an experiment. Not really a novel more of an attempt at actualization of a real world cultivation method. Regardless it's not intended as a static piece. I want the readers to add their own ideas and will likely go in some interesting directions, hopefully it will be a form of inspiration for others. Meant to be a bit out there while also emphasizing the real possibility of being a real world Cultivator, I want to see what we can come up with...

Chapter 1 - Cultivation Level 1: Survival

Cultivation Level 1: Survival guide for Cultivators

Base Chakra- Red

Survival is the Foundation of all life and therefore doubly so for Cultivators.

This may seem basic and common sense but in a world of rapid growth and change having a strong Base can indeed be the difference between life and death.

Regarding Survival it can be separated into three basic ideologies.

Individual Survival: Everything you do from exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet, to being socially active and pursuing career goals. How well are you surviving and how can you become stronger?

[System comments: Get your sh#t together!]

Community Survival: Are the needs of the community being met? Are the streets and houses well maintained? Do you feel safe where you live? How prepared are your family and friends prepared to deal with emergencies or disasters?

[System comments: Grab your kids, grab your dog, grab your Aunty and run!]

Societal Survival: where are we going? ...to Space? Great, what do we do when we get there? The future is wide but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do our best to build a better and stronger future for our progeny and successors to thrive in.

[System comments: We're all doomed aren't we?]

What is your Class?

Everyone has a Role to play, might as well be interesting....

The first spell for a Mage is invariably a spell of survival. Often do we ponder the flame both a bringer of heat and light, if not respected though a bringer of destruction and death, thus it is a Symbol for the basis of magic. The power to transform a substance from one form into another.

[System comments: Does anybody need a lighter?]

The Warrior uses the flame to Forge both their Arms and their Hearts, to wield Swords of Light against inscrutable Darkness and to build Unbreakable Armor to stand against the Tempest's Fury with Iike Fury of our own.

[System comments: Smells like gym Class...]

The Healer lights the night in Standing Vigil over Wounded Soldiers Lament and Innocents held in Sickness grasp, travel onward towards Sunrise Relent as Heavenly Grace abound and Silent Wings surround.

[System comments: You can Sleep when you're Dead!]

The Shaman walks a path between the Waking World and the worlds of dreams and Spirits. Discerning and perceiving the flow of subtle energies in the surrounding universe as well as the beings that dwell on the various levels there in. Their light comes from within and heals wounds unseen yet felt innately.

[System comments: you mean like ghosts and demons?!?]

What Abilities do you seek to gain?

Something Basic such as increased Strength and Endurance?

Greater Intellect and growth in Wisdom?

Perhaps you are lacking in the Charisma department or simply down on your Luck.

Possibly your aspirations stretch further into the theoretical do you wish to increase your Empathetic abilities in order to glimpse into the realms of living energy, or increase your psychic awareness of those around you?

Send Telepathic Messages from mind to mind and Remote View information and places at a distance.

[System comments: you're kidding...]

It is up to Cultivators to push the boundaries of what is possible.

Cultivators are always looking towards tomorrow, the next plan, the next project, the next improvement. We want to pave the way forward for those that follow so that they may push even further.

One way we do this is by finding ways to strengthen our community by helping to build and expand upon resources and infrastructure available to the masses. The actions regarding this sector are potentially infinite and can range from simply checking in with family members on a regular basis to participating in local voting initiatives and helping with communal events, be active. But it can also be serious such as preparing for hardships and standing together as a group when some of us can't stand on our own.

[System comments: So basically leave your house and go bother someone...]

Finally the Cultivation of survival as a society, we really need to plan ahead.

[System comments:.....]

Right now here's how I see the future we've been handed.

"Goin to space. need anything?"

"???"

"what are you doing once you get there?"

"Oh, mine some asteroids for while over in the belt, then I might just move to desert Planet Mars..."

" ... have fun with that...."

Do you see it? The problem here is there's no real idea what we're going for. No prep work, just let's go.

Personally I'd be setting up a goal to massively increase our astronaut training programs by 1000%. If you consider that to take root in Space for real about 20% of our population at minimum will need to be prepared to go into space in the next 30-50 years. They won't just be astronauts though they'll each have specialized skills to boot some will be Welders, mechanics and technicians,

pilots, doctors, Scientists, heck we might even need some lawyers or politicians...

That's just Space, how about the rest of the Planet?

We have the technology we could potentially Cultivate a Paradise or at least raise ourselves out of the unending cycle of wars and poverty. We have begun to reach levels where we can directly effect and alter our environments as well as our own bodies.

We can build our future on stronger infrastructures and cleaner energy. We can push for greater automation of factories as well as decreases in the costs of schooling, in order to increase the general levels of education in our society.

It requires a united sense of vision and a society wide view of the steps needed to reach that vision.

The Basis here is that this is just level 1: Survival, what we can do beyond that is beyond imagination.
