Homo sapiens (wise or knowing man) will be replaced by Homo divinus (man of god) only if Homo sapiens does not kill itself and a multitude of other species off the face of the planet. There are two paths - one path leads to a dead end extinction. The other path leads to the next step in evolution and signifies a transformation and alignment with the whole. If we cannot control ourselves and our actions, Homo sapiens will eliminate itself and take a bunch of innocents with it. Perhaps this is what happened to the other hominids. They couldn't change and they got replaced by the newer humans. Everything is fleeting. Everything is here for an instant and is gone. Realizing that fact, one should try to leave the world in better condition than it was in when one entered, and prepare the way for your successor steward.
ReplyDeleteMay our successor stewards be more interested in stewardship and less in pampering their own reflections.
ReplyDeleteMay they be able to detach from the consciousness that would bind us all in self absorbed stupor.
Time to shine our love. For starters, love to both of you, jb and George, and to all the others who find their way to these blogs.
Now, go shine!
jbmoore: You said, "If we cannot control ourselves and our actions..." Isn't it exactly this desire to control that has spiraled us into the devastating decay you've mentioned?
ReplyDeletePatrick: I second your luminous thoughts. I'd only suggest, however, that we're already shining, but just haven't yet washed away the spit-and-dirt clay (John 9:6-7) that's covering our eyes.

Well said. Love to you too, Gary!
ReplyDeleteThe tragedy of the commons is played out in the tragedy of the fisheries. Any one with a brain can work out that if you overharvest a fishery, you've just destroyed your livelihood and that of your children. Yet, that has happened to quite a few fisheries recently. The cod and salmon have gone the way of the bison as have the men who fished them. Where was the control and management of those natural resources for the common good? No one controls the air, yet everyone is free to pollute that which we breathe, another commons. You can argue that another form of control is occurring, the control of political and economic power, but those are illusions. If you destroy your air, water, and food supplies, you will die with everyone else despite the power you have accumulated.
ReplyDeleteDeregulation is a supposed good. We deregulate the oil industry and it crashes in the mid 80's and spills oil everywhere after promising that it was prepared for accidents and wasn't. We deregulate the financial industry and it commits theft and fraud the last 20 years hurting millions. So where do you see any evidence of self control by humans as a whole to moderate their impact on their society and their environment, and be wise stewards? Why are the written laws being ignored that were meant to protect people from criminal behavior by businesses and wealthy individuals?
jbmoore: Aren't written laws restricted consciousness's attempt to restrict restricted consciousness? A stronger dam wall in Hungary doesn't transform the toxic sludge its retaining. Noetica's gold arises from an alchemical transmutation of Sapien's sludge, but the Sapian cleverly sidestep the fiery crucible.
