Our problem is a lack of consciousness. This is our new frontier. A higher level of consciousness would open a door to the 95% we have to explore.

Give me 95% or give me death.

There is hope:

Our evolution is accelerating. The time has come to stop fighting one another and start fighting for a common cause. There is no place in our future for conflicts over territory, oil, ideologies, water, natural resources, ego gratification and glory.  The time has come to move our center of gravity from our body to our soul.

The material world is pulling us down when the soul wants to reach higher levels

 

Mother Nature is helping us by providing some step ladder. We are on level 4 above matter, plants and animals and trying to break our glass ceiling to reach level 5 above us. At every level we see some limited implementation of the level above. Animals are capable of some thinking. The love of a higher level can be reduced to physical attraction at a lower level. Our limited consciousness can be amplified. Nature is pointing us in the right direction, and everything is accelerating.  Agriculture paved the way for moving to a city. Small cities became big metropolises. A small number of people getting together created computers. From computers came the internet and the internet made it possible for humans to reach their critical mass of the brain.

We can do for our soul

what we did for our body.

Our grandchildren may not understand why we had to drag our body wherever we went.

“Grandpa, you don’t have to drag your body behind you, everywhere you go.  Everybody knows that soul and body can be separated and put back together. You are already doing it every evening when you fall asleep, and every morning when you put them back together. All you need is to do consciously during the day what you used to do unconsciously at night. How come nobody thought of that before?”

 

We are walking on two legs: Thinking and consciousness. Thinking develops consciousness and consciousness triggers more thinking. This is how we can distance ourselves from money and the material world.

Our society is following the same evolution as our money.  We started by using metals. It was replaced by printed paper. The paper was replaced by electrical impulses moving along wires. Today, we don’t even need the wires. Our general evolution makes us move from using matter to using ideas. The next step is to move from ideas to a higher level of consciousness. We are ready for a “puberty of the soul”.

 

Consciousness is our new frontier

 

We have a guide. It is happiness. True happiness is a consequence of the improvements of the soul. It will motivate us to become a willing participant in our own evolution. The survival of the species comes before the survival of the individual but that should not be construed to sacrifice individual freedom to the dictature of a government.

 

When we see a sunset over the ocean, we see millions of tiny sparks. They reflect the light from the same sun. We are those individual sparks, connected through the same sun.

 

Future historians may divide human history into two periods: “Before and after humans knew what they were doing.”

Higher consciousness is getting us free from our isolation.  Associating our brain with many other brains is not incompatible with individual freedom.  It is by associating many brains that we increase our level of consciousness and consciousness makes us free. The time has come to cast off our moorings and master the wind blowing in our sails.
