We,The People, are not happy
15 - The human evolution is accelerating
We start with people living in a cave 250 000 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 sseveral 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 200 000 years. She demonstrated a rare perseverance. We could not blame us if this is her last attempt.
Those people, in their caves, paid more attention to their body than to their soul. Their main concern was to find food and survive. Food was their jail. We could say that it took 250 000 years for the Homo sapiens to escape their food prison.
The human evolution is accelerating:
By becoming conscious of the purpose of our life, we can become willing participants in our evolution instead of being an unconscious contributor. The key to our development is to increase our level of consciousness.
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 1 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. Some people are gifted in music or in painting or mathematics… Some were born that way, and some acquired their gift by surviving a serious illness or by being hit on the head by accident. They have a common message. Many exceptional possibilities can be implemented in the human body. We all have the potential of becoming geniuses!
The only thing missing may be the password
to get access to our 86 billion neurons
We started an avalanche
Through the ages, humankind had the constant problem of finding food to survive. Thousands of years ago we collected fruits with our bare hands. Later we used stones to cut meat. That was our first improvement. After the stones we used metal and fire to make tools. That was a new solution to an old problem. An important improvement was to associate ideas with matter and invent agriculture. That was followed by associating power with the tools and having a horse pulling the plow. Today, one man using machinery equipped with a powerful motor can produce enough food to feed many people. The farmers account for only 5% of the total population. As we evolved, we solved our food problems with better and better solutions.
The best way to manage problems is not to use more and more of the resources of the material world. We need access to higher thinking.
Ready for takeoff.
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.
More recently the evolution accelerated. The Portugal dominated the 15th century. Spain was leading the 16th century followed by The Netherland, France and England. These countries did in one century what took several centuries to Egypt, the Greeks and the Romans.
Today, it is the acceleration that is accelerating. Children are surprised to learn that their grandparents could survive without computers, TV, cellphones, cars, planes and satellites.
New inventions are fine as long as we stay in control. Today we are afraid that human evolution could get out of hand. The last one is AI. Many people are going to lose their job and what will come next may be even more threatening. We thought that we were swimming in the river. We are now carried away but the current, worried about a possible waterfall. We accept changes as long as they are acceptable! We want to regain control of our destiny.
Mending our souls will not be easy
-The first step is to detach ourselves from the material level. Money comes to mind because money can be exchanged for anything material. It was created to serve us, but we abused it. Our servant became our master. “Use but don’t abuse” is another law of nature that must be followed. The use of money should be limited to the exchange of one thing for another thing of the same value. Money should not be combined with time. We must get money out of the driver’s seat and keep it on 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, but we keep practicing.
-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 then 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 bypass our critical brain like the hypnotists are doing and harvest the love that we produce.
The critical mass of the human brains
Nature gives us examples of a long period of preparation followed by sudden changes.
-
Puberty is a rapid change following years of preparation.
-
Religions are presenting life on Earth as a preparation for a judgment.
-
200 years ago, we killed people one by one. That was labor intensive. Today, we could exterminate the whole human species by pressing on buttons.
Could we also have a critical mass of the soul?
What is happening in the soul world while we are asleep? 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 challenge. We acquire something that will remain with us and become part of our personality. The result is called maturity. The soul of an adult is different from the soul of a child.
That makes life on Earth a continuous process without beginning and end. The cells keep circulating in our body. Our life on Earth could be a small part of a general evolution. Our body comes 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, like nature associates colors to make a scenery.
We made computers. That’s an achievement and we can be proud of it. Could that be a proof of our superior thinking?
Let’ stay close to Nature. The evolution of the human brain is likely to follow other evolutions in our environment. In the last 200 years, we have reached a critical mass of the human brains. As long as people stay dispersed around the globe, no explosion was possible.
If you wish to understand the universe
think of energy, frequency and vibrations
Tesla.
Children seem to know all that. 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. A cardboard can become a racing car.
Every child is an artist. The problem is
how to remain an artist once he grows up
Pablo Picasso
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.
We search with our brain
but we find with our heart
George Sand
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 feelings
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. We needed many people to put together many simple ideas.
Children could draw our attention to the importance of some aspects of our life that we are neglecting. We need schools where parents could go and learn from the children how to reactivate their imagination!
