Question6.com: The gist of our life
GET THE BOOK
When following our senses and looking outside we see people struggling in the material world. They are fighting for oil, territory, water. They would even fight for deserted islands in the middle of the oceans.
When looking inside we see a soul in need of improvement. This is the purpose of our life.
There is no place in our future for conflicts about territory, oil, ideologies, water, ego massage or natural resources. Either the Homo sapiens species will survive, or we will go the way of the Homo habilis, the Homo erectus, the Homo heidelbergensis, the Neanderthals, the Cro-Magnon, and a few others. The time has come to stop fighting each other and start fighting for a common cause.
A sunset on the ocean makes millions of little sparks. What is important is that they reflect the light from the same sun. We are those individual sparks, united by the same sun.
We may not be the master of our ship, but we are trying to master the wind blowing in our sails. What is new in the 21st century is that we are becoming conscious of our evolution. The cooperation of many brains and a higher level of consciousness can transform our failures into learning experiences. We can become willing participants in our own evolution.
Future historians may divide human history into two periods:
“Before and after humans knew what they were doing.”
The gist of our life is not were we are today but where we will be tomorrow.
We should be willing participants in our own evolution.
The criterion of success is a soul that can be
in a body like heat penetrates an object
without getting attached to it.
