Phew! It’s over. One of the most chaotic episodes of Christmas I can ever remember trying to avoid. I did ok, but the next phase of life in everyone’s world is going to be crucial for the survival of humanity on planet Earth.
I am now officially on my way out. I will seek to hang on until my birthday. Jan 11.
I awoke to a cold snowy morning. I went over to my “Paris” view window and took some pictures. The reality of it is hypnotic. I’m thinking of time spent watching TV, comparing that to sitting at the window in a kind of meditative state. It’s not as dynamic as TV, but looking out the window is real.
So here I am waiting for death and struggling to keep up.
There was more to the Israel story of religions in the Middle East that captured those innocent virgins of the mind. We can more accurately relate to the peoples of the ancient world by reminding ourselves of the limitations on their access to different thoughts and life experiences. The general population had no books or T.V./internet, no daily updates on current events.
In that world people were more connected to the rhythms of the animal life, where human consciousness got trapped in beliefs. Belief being what informed their feelings, before abstract learning was available. The mind was captured in feelings and emotions, stimulated by basic, organic living, in a tribal foundation of identity. This was an evolutionary condition and circumstance. It is almost incomprehensible to the general populations of the present.
The expansion of human consciousness is an evolutionary process, and like evolution, only a few engage it, initially. The populations overall have no comprehension of this expansion as its happening—thinkers are few—it can take centuries/millennia to integrate a new process, most recent download if you will, into every day human life.
I think this is a neural evolution that takes place in some but not all. Eventually it forms a genetic advancement into what might be called a new species.
The struggle is between those who can advance and those who won’t, or genetically can’t. This neural evolution is embedded in evolutionary competition. Perhaps our current task is to find the means to entice others in advancement through restraining political resistance and its rebellion.
The question of Good or Bad is always present in the organic dialogue as a pass/fail paradigm of survival, regardless of the quality of life. It is a competition between civilization and the inherent primitive forces of living. For us, it is currently a competition between unthinking-primal-reaction and a new window of enlightenment—rational thinking, awareness, and consciousness expanding.
Most of humanity is not aware. This sets the measure for the nature and character of where humanity currently stands on this path of evolutionary development.
