QUESTION 6: The purpose of our life

24- Homo  sapiens - Unite

We have a problem. It is the most important problem the Homo sapiens have ever had in the 300 000 years of their history. We must move out of our material world that is limited to 5% of reality and embrace the remaining 95%. 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.

 

In the past few centuries, there was always one country in advance of the others. In the 15th century it was Portugal. Then it was Spain, The Netherland, France, England, the USA… That does not mean that those people were smarter than the others. It only means that it was their turn to lead. Today, we cannot rely on one leader. We are together facing the same problem of a common evolution. The two main problems we are facing in this 21st century is to control our sadomasochism and master our use of money.

 

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. How could we complain if, someday, we discover that some aliens are using us for their own benefit? For instance, they could harvest the love that we produce and leave our bad feelings for us to recycle. The Aliens and us may be on the same boat carried by the same current. We all share the same goal of reaching the level above. If we want to deserve the respect of the levels above, we should respect the levels below.

 

There is no place in our future for conflicts about territory, oil, ideologies, water, ego massage or natural resources. We created a society governed by money. We must get out of this debt bondage and recover our freedom.

Let’s put aside our sadomasochism. This does not serve the purpose of our life. We must take our responsibilities. It is by becoming conscious of the purpose of our life that we will get out of our cave and take part in our own evolution.

 

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. This is not a task for separate individuals.

When we look at a sunset on the ocean we see millions of little sparks. What is important is that they reflect the light from the same sun. We are those individual sparks, united under the same sun.

The real battle is inside us. We must free our soul from the shackles of the physical world. The next step is to get over our glass ceiling. It is a goal for the human species. The human evolution started to speed up with the development of agriculture. That made it possible the creation of cities. The communications improved. We need to put many brains together to speed up our evolution. We need the union of the brains.

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. We can transform our failures into learning experiences. We can take part in the process and speed it up.

 

Future historians may divide human history in two periods: “Before and after humans became willing participants in their own evolution”. 

 

We must succeed where eight species of humans have failed. This is not something we can do alone. The time has come to stop fighting each other and start fighting for a common cause.

HOMO SAPIENS - UNITE

The criterion of success is a soul that can be
in a body like heat penetrates an object
without getting attached to it.
