The media did not have big titles such as: “Give me my 95% or give me death”. Telling people that they are prisoners of a small jail is not the best way to make friends.

How can we pretend to know our place in the world when we are only conscious of 5% of reality?

 

There is about the same difference between us and the level above us as there is between animals and humans. To move from one level to the next requires the addition of something important. How can we find our way to the level above us? Let’s try some extrapolations.

 

First extrapolation:

-We move from matter to plants by adding the ability to grow, to take a certain shape, to make seeds, and to reproduce.

-We move from plants to animals by adding the ability to move. That may require some nerves, some muscles, and a brain to use them.

-We move from animals to humans by adding the ability to think.

We continue to utilize the possibilities of the earlier levels and introduce a new one that must be significant. 

 

Second extrapolation:

To control one level, we need access to the level above it.

-How can you explain that the water in the ground can overcome gravity, rise in the air, and take a certain shape? You need to have access to the level of the plants to understand what happens to matter.

-How can you explain that fruit trees can reproduce? You need the pollination of the bees. You need access to the level of animals to understand the level of the plants.

-The cow does not know what will append after her death. The farmer does.

To understand the level of humankind, we would need access to the level above us.

 

To understand the purpose of our life on earth, we would need access to the level above humanity. That would require something better than human thinking – something that we don’t have. This is our glass ceiling.

 

The purpose of our life is to get through our glass ceiling.
