People focus only on what society tells them to see.
As I step through the portal from the realm of today into the realm of the unknown I feel lifted into the sublimity of life, and the complexity and beauty of the plane of existence outside my own mind. As an individual grows, the ability of the mind to perceive the universe grows also up to its physical limits; but what if this capacity of perception can be raised, not just by technology but by the individual’s own will; to step beyond the ‘given’ body and reach for the higher plane consciously adapting to the body and mind to the needs of the future. To do so one must extrapolate from the past, work, with the subconscious calculating machine provided in the brain and have those processes migrate to where one can consciously control them, or instruct the subconscious to do so. This changes the essential physical structure of the brain because it will then allow it to make and anticipate changes that may be necessary for the evolution and continuation of the individual, the species, and their successors.
I have visions of what our future could be if we work at it. If everybody works toward the common view of peace, no matter what basic ideology they preach, we would be moving into a decent future for the people. The problem is that too few people have a vision of what they want the world to be. They are too concerned about the business-at-hand to ponder and have a major influence on the future society. Many of these people will have a high measured intelligence, but will still be sheep in the herd; Break through the fence and explore unknowne territory. Without this innate curiousity which is being bred and conditioned out of the human collective, we would never have progressed down technological avenues. Technological increases are directly related to population levels and increases, and the resultant environmental stresses, both natural and human induced, in a general cycle (historically). These changing stresses create variable needs for the species in that locality, so they must adapt or die. The human species has adapted very well thus far to be able to survive in such a variation of harsh environments, to be consciously aware of existing, be able to recognize trends, plan for, and now also influence the future. This is an amazing feat for anything; and to our knowledge, we are the only lifeform to have done so. Why are we such a rare species to have evolved in such a manner? And how long can we last? What can, and will we do as a species to ensure a safe, clean, free, and productive environment for our offspring and all succeeding generations. We are too rare in this universe to permit ignorance and lack of foresight which could destroy our species [See other rants on this subject] before we can explore (without outward destruction) and flourish in the safe, free, clean and productive future as mentioned previously.
Technology is the fruit of our civilization in that it gives us the ability to grow and expand the knowledge, experience and territory of our species.
One major problem with the concept of society is that it provides a force on people to be a member of this society and bend to the whims of the collective. It leaves no room of freedom for those individuals whom do not wish to be members of the specific society, and the only method of rebellion most of them know is destructive rather than constructive acts. If society values freedom it must value the freedom of persons whom wish to live a life apart from the main collective. The social conditioning placed on the collective always give derogatory titles to those whom wish to remain individuals from the collective in a feign attempt at blind conformity. General society is based on fear; not love, not kindness but fear; fear of death, fear of loss, and fear of expectations not being met; basically fear of any change from the specific expectations in the foreseeable future lifeline. We all are afflicted by these thoughts. No matter how hard people fight against it, change occurs constantly, in varying patterns on large and small timescales. What we must learn as a people is to accept this change for what it is, and work with it to benefit the individual self, and the human collective as a whole. To do so, pointless discrimination must be removed from society by means of education and reason, basically teach why it is wrong and what can be done about it. (I understand that what I am saying is in essence portraying a form of societal collective, but it is intended as a critique on both positive and negative aspects, and hopefully provide a liberal and happy life for all.) Teaching a person logical reasoning behind any cause {or clause} is better than conditioning the individual to blindly accept any social or philosophical beliefs based solely on what the ‘superiors’ preach.
[I find that there are certain aspects of social interaction that I am superfluous to. I know that I am naïve often but slowly I am understanding better the relations between myself and other persons in the larger environment.]
Often life seems too surreal to be true.
**What people should know is that I wrote this in separate sections over a few weeks, August to October 2006, then read them and realized that they kind of work together, so then I wrote them in the order I thought best, all that before I read The Ascent of Man; now this is a little over a day since I finished reading the book, and it still feels invigorating to read over my own thoughts, comparing myself now to before and realizing small differences in my perception of the world around me: imagining millions, billions of years of evolution of the earth and the universe up to this point of experience, and beyond.
