Just how evolved is the human species? We like to think we are more intelligent than any other creature on the planet and place ourselves at the top of the evolution tree. But is that really the case? Here's some food for thought................... If you have read the basis of thought of the Fellowship you would now understand our philosophy that all physical matter is equal, including mineral, plant and animal matter, it terms of being energy of the same type. If all matter is energy (as it is) and the sum total of all energy is what most people refer to as god, then we are all a part of god. In our search for a God the human species have created a plethora of to make us feel better about our relationship to the ultimate perceived goal, enlightenment. The eastern religions have been more open to the concept of experiencing a state as close to "godhead" as possible. First let me explain the concept as closely as it can be put into words. Try to perceive a state where your unconscious memory no longer sends memory content to consciousness. With no memory being presented there is no emotion being felt. No perception of the past or future, just what is happening at this moment in time, second by second. At the ultimate experience of this, with no preconception about what you are experiencing, coloured by your personal belief systems, you become the moment in time we know as now. You are no longer aware of yourself as being separate from the whole. In that moment in time your are god. This is the ultimate state, sort after by generations of spiritually aware people. We often spend a lifetime in the search for this sublime state, very few making it. Now, please consider this with an open mind. Humans spend less time living in now than any animal on the planet. Most animals in their natural state do not appear to have any ability to purposely store memory long term unless their is an element of emotion locked in the memory. They live to search for food, reproduce and rest. The prime elements of memory are used for survival responses. Most of the time they live in the moment. Plants seem to be even closer to living in the moment. We know from extensive research that plants are aware of their environment. They even react to stimuli such as sound, music and the emotional states of the creatures around them. Like animals and mankind, plants react to danger and damage to their systems, although we are not sure if they "think" in the way we do. However, they appear to live moment by moment, permanently in NOW. The mineral world, as far as we know, lives in the moment of now, all the time. We have never been able to detect stress or any other activity apart from magnetic and electromagnetic activity. We like to think that crystals have a personality. Some individuals believe and teach that crystals have the power to change the environment. They certainly exhibit a modified electromagnetic behaviour. Whether this can be regarded as a self awareness is yet to be proven. My mind is open. The fact that the mineral world is part of the whole is enough to accept it as intelligent. Does it have memory? Does it react to memory to provide it with a self awareness. I don't know but I think we can assume for this purpose that it lives in consciousness, in NOW. The human species is the only one that must seek to live in NOW because it very rarely is aware of the moment. We have to "evolve" towards a state that most other existence is already experiencing! So have we evolved, or are we going backwards because of our so called superior intelligence? Is our insistence of developing our our personal awareness of self actually dragging us backwards? Is our drive to separate ourselves from the masses going to be our downfall? Suggestion: Spend some time trying to understand this concept and, if it sits well with you, create an awareness that you are neither greater or lesser than any other soul in the universe. You are god in reality. Only your insistence that you are an individual keeps you separate and unenlightened. Can you imagine a world where each member of the human species regarded itself as equal to all others? No self image problems. No need to try to prove you are superior. No feelings of inferiority. No forcing others to do what they don't wish to do. Everyone content to help each because each of realises and knows in our heart that every other human, animal, plant and mineral is a part of us. We are each other, a piece of the whole known as god. Peace to you. |
