We,The People, are not happy
5-Earth is a Jail
Planet Earth is beautiful.
It is a beautiful jail
I have been exploring Planet Earth for some time, and the more I learn, the more limitations I discover. It is getting to the point where the Earth seems to be a cage, and the more you learn about it, the smaller the cage.
Getting conscious of the problem
It takes time. It can take a long time to realize that all humans have the same problem. They cannot live alone. They need to communicate with one another. They can see other people, hear them, touch them, smell them. The information received from their sense organs is powerful. This is the domain of the material world.
The problem starts when they try to go beyond the possibilities of their sense organs. They need to know if the people around them are happy, honest, reliable, and sincere. What they are thinking and feeling could change many lives. Their problems start when they enter the immaterial domain. This is where they find love, feelings, consciousness, harmony, happiness, and a lot more. This is where they find what is important in their lives. They know that a mother’s love is important. It cannot be measured. They don’t even have words to describe it. The problem of soul communication can be found in many details of everyday life. A woman would not say that she bought that dress because she fell in love with its color. She would rather use good reasons that everybody can understand. “I had nothing to wear. It was on sale. It matches the color of my shoes.” She knows that it is easier to communicate when you remain in the material world.
This is their common problem. They need to communicate, but their communication is limited to the material world. Their sense organs can only help with what can be seen, heard, measured, weighted and smelled. They are useless in the soul’s world, where they need them most.
It would be possible to divide the human population into two. Those who are dominated by their body and those who are dominated by their soul. Observing the choices people make can help decide whether they are 'body people' or 'soul people'.
The choices they make reveal who they are:
A man wanted to sell his car. He had two offers. One of them was from a man who badly needed a way to go to work. The other would like to have a second car. He was offering 20% more. The choice was between helping somebody and getting more money. Taking the highest offer would make him part of the ‘material people’.
Another example comes from a film festival. Every day for 6 weeks, seven movie theaters in town had lines that went all around the block. There were two lines. One for people who already have their ticket. They will be the first ones to get in. The other line was for the hopeful. Some will not get in. A man went to the line of the hopeful and said, “I must leave. I have two tickets. Who wants to buy them?” He got one offer, and a better one, and another. It became an auction. When he received the best possible offer, he decided to sell his tickets… to the lowest bidder. Everybody started laughing. There was a feeling of freedom. It was a reminder that they don’t have to remain prisoners of the material world.
It is normal for a gardener, looking for a job, to look for the best possible salary. However, the way he waters the flowers should not be influenced by his salary. It is something between him and the flowers.
The ‘soul person’ should dominate the ‘body person’. That may not be easy. Planet Earth is not a rose garden.
On Earth, you don’t have to look for limitations to find them, they are all around you.
-
Animal knows what to eat. Humans cannot make the difference between good mushrooms and the ones that will kill them.
-
Any dog has better hearing and better smelling than humans have. Sharks keep growing new teeth—no need for dentists!
-
The slime molds can solve mathematical problems without even thinking about it! Why can’t humans do the same?
-
Humans are not always conscious that they are pushing the envelope of their limitations. They saw birds flying. They decided to make planes. Their thinking can sometimes be rather slow. They made computers.
There is more: Humans, like animals, can become prisoners of what makes them free!
-
There is a zoo, in the Netherlands, between Amsterdam and Rotterdam, where visitors walk through a dark hallway with windows on both sides. Through one of the windows, they can see birds in a well-lit room. Nothing is preventing the birds from flying through the window and joining them in the dark hallway. Nothing but darkness. Birds want to stay in the light. They are prisoners of their eyesight. Seeing represents more than freedom. It is their chance of survival. What is most important in their lives has become their jail.
-
Through another window, the visitors can see snakes. Nothing is preventing the snakes from coming through the window to look for a meal. Nothing but some ice. The snakes are prisoners of temperature.
-
If they could only see ultraviolet, humans would live a different life in a different world. They are prisoners of their eyesight, their hearing, the temperature, the air that they breathe… They are prisoners of their bodies, like fish are prisoners of the water. They became prisoners of what made them free.
Humans became prisoners of what made them free.

Something interesting happened in another zoo. The time had come to move the monkeys to a much larger place where they are free to roam, and visitors must stay in their cars. To help the transition, they moved both the monkeys and their cages to the new environment and left the doors open. The young monkeys left the cages and began climbing trees and exploring their new environment. The old monkeys went to the door and looked at the new outside world. They decided to remain in the safety of their old cage. The older they are, the more they prefer the safety of their cage. They become afraid of freedom.
There is even worse
Scientists have problems explaining the trajectories of faraway stars. One possible explanation is that ordinary matter represents only 5% of the total. The other 95% is dark matter and dark energy that humans did not know existed.
Not only are their senses limited, but they can make them aware of only 5% of reality. They are in a jail inside another jail.
There is hope.
I may have found the changes my editor-in -chief was talking about. It could be the humans are trying to get out of their jail. Their center of gravity is in their soul. This is where they would need two dozen sense organs, but do not have any. They suffer from a bad design! Too late for a recall.
Their hopes may be limited, but this is all they have. They don’t know how feelings, love and happiness could reach them through their limited sense organs, but they did. This is something that they could amplify. They could do for the soul what agriculture did for their body. Their ancestors noticed grains falling on the ground. They amplified the process, and agriculture transformed their lives in society. Humans must increase their level of consciousness. They have already started working on it. When a teacher gives his students a problem of mathematics, he does not expect them to come up with a new solution. He wants them to become conscious of a solution that already exists. Their education system increases consciousness.
Education increases consciousness
There is another reason to hope.
Every evening, they put their bodies in a silent and dark place. They don’t want any signal from their sense organs to reach their brain. That means that, at night, they want to get out of their body’s jail. There must be a way for their soul to free itself temporarily from the limitations of their body.
If their grandparents accuse them of being dangerous dreamers, they only have to remind them of landing on the moon.
