The world we live in
15 - Everything is accelerating
We start with people living in a cave 300 000 years ago. They share with animals a need to sleep and a need for food. It is not the first time Mother Nature is using humans. She has already tried several times in the last million years. Homo habilis, the Homo Heidelbergensis, the Cro Magnon, the Homo erectus, the Neanderthal and others. They have been dropped.
We, the Homo sapiens, are Nature’s 9th attempt. We don’t know if this is her way to keep improving herself or if this is her last attempt before she gives up. She has kept the Homo sapiens alive on planet Earth for more than 300 000 years. She showed a rare perseverance. We could not blame us if this was her last attempt.
Those people, in their caves, paid more attention to their body than to their soul. Their main concern was to survive. Food was their jail. We could say that it took 300 000 years for the Homo sapiens to escape their food prison.
In the last 200 years, many people moved to big cities. The internet improved communications. For the first time in our history the formation of some “network of the brains” became possible. It is also in the past 200 years that we have seen an explosion of new developments such as computers, television, satellites and GPS. The world’s population went from less than one billion to 8 billion. This is more than a coincidence. There must be some connection between the concentration of the brains and a sudden explosion of discoveries.
In the atomic bomb, the explosion occurs when you reach a critical mass. The same law of nature could apply to the human brains. Sudden developments happen when you reach a certain concentration of brain power. In the past 200 years, mankind has reached its critical mass.
If this is confirmed, our computers and our satellites are only a beginning. We are finally getting access to our 86 billion neurons. We had limited access to our brain like we had limited access to a software before we pay and get the password. With the development of agriculture, we escaped our food jail. Computers and AI may be an attempt to escape the material world.
Ready for take-off
We knew of the rise and decline of past civilizations. Egypt, Geek, Rome dominated the world for many centuries. The decline of the Romans empire alone took 400 years.
Today, it is the acceleration that is accelerating. After moving from the use of stones to the use of metals, we are moving from metals to ideas. We are even afraid that AI could make us lose control of our own evolution. We thought that we were swimming in the river. We are now carried away but the current, worried of a possible waterfall.
Mending our souls.
The first step is to detach ourselves from the material level. Money comes to mind because money can be exchanged for anything material. Our servant became our master. “Use but don’t abuse” is another law of nature that must be followed. We must get money out of the driver’s seat and keep it in the passenger seat where it belongs.
The next step maybe to dominate our sadomasochism. We know that wars are not the best way to solve problems. We made some progress. Violence on TV has replaced watching people burning at the stake. We need to do much better.
The key to our accelerated evolution is an increase of consciousness. That can be achieved by developing the limited consciousness already at our disposal. The teacher who gives his students a problem of mathematics does not expect them to discover a new solution. He wants them to become conscious of a solution that already exists. The purpose of education is to improve consciousness. The arts may be a better tool than technology.
In short: Our way of thinking must change. Our notion of Good and Bad must change. The purpose of our life on earth must change. We must get out of Plato’s cave. We must free ourselves from the limitations of our body and the material world. We created a society governed by money. We must get out of this debt bondage and recover our freedom. We must look for a solution inside ourselves instead of searching outside.
By exploring other planets, we may discover other implementations of “life” that will change the way we look at humans. We raise cows, sheep, and chickens for our own benefit. We may discover that some aliens are using us for their own benefit. For instance, they could do what the hypnotists are doing. They could bypass our critical brain and harvest the love that we produce.

A critical mass of the soul
What is happening during our sleep? Could we keep remodeling our love, freedom, and consciousness? Could we have a puberty of the soul?
Going through hard times in our life is an opportunity to reach deeper in our soul and bring to the surface what we need to face the day, one day at a time. We acquire something that will remain with us and become part of our personality. The result is called maturity. Consciousness would be a better name.
That makes life on Earth a continuous process without beginning and end. Our body results from a deviation in the cycles of many atoms. What we call our soul could be a deviation is the cycles of feelings, love, ideas and consciousness.
If you wish to understand the universe
think of energy, frequency and vibrations
Tesla
We made computers. That’s an achievement we can be proud of. Could that be proof of a superior thinking? Maybe not! Computers are made of the association of millions of simple ideas coming from millions of different people
That does not mean that the human brain improved the day we started making computers. It only shows that we needed many people to put together many simple ideas.
We search with the brain
but we find with the heart
George Sand
Computers are following the general direction of human evolution. We started by making tools to go hunting. Those tools were simple objects. The next step was to make machines. That requires ideas using objects.
With computers we keep moving from the material world to the non-physical world. With A.I. we are going one more step in the same direction. Humans are distancing themselves from the material world. What could be our next step? The development of our souls?
Each child is an artist
The problem is how to remain
an artist when you grow up
Pablo Picasso
We need schools where parents could go and learn from the children how to reactivate their imagination!
Children seem to know all that. They don’t need logic. They sing, dance, paint and create shapes with modeling clay. They know that what is most important is not what we see. They decide in which world they want to live and create their own world. Children could draw our attention to some aspects of our life that we are neglecting.
