To wind this up, the metaphor that makes sense
of what we are going through, because it gets
the biology of it, it gets the drama of it,
it gets the risk of it, it gets the fun and
the joy of it, is the metaphor of birth.
We are about to decant from three dimensional
space and time.
Yes the Earth is the cradle of mankind, but
you can not live in the cradle forever, and
we are not in this cradle alone, we are squashing
and trompling on hundreds of other species
that have just as much right to be here as
we do.
So through technology, which means pharmacology
art and the engineering sciences, we are trying
to find a doorway to find a new world for
the spirit, and it is going to come out of
human machine interfacing, pharmacological
redesigning of the human brain mind system,
down possibly digitizing into the microphysical
realm, we don't know.
If it makes your hair stand on end to think
of being downloaded into the mircophysical
realm there was once this fish that had a
great deal of doubts about this plan to conquer
the land, and tried to urge everyone to think
again that no good could possibly;y come of
it, but in fact the forward thrust of evolution
is towards higher dimensions, greater complexity,
more information, greater connectedness and
a deeper sense of the the all pervasiveness
of love and meaning.
That's what its really about, all the these
physical elements add up to nothing unless
they add up to more than the sum of their
parts.
And the more than the sum of their parts is
this transcendental element which we call
love that is the part of the eschaton that
has never left us, that accompanied us across
the african grassland and into history.
Granted, bloodied and battered by the experiences
of sexism and racism, but never lost as an
ideal, never lost as a guiding light and an
experience, and I really think that when you
dissolve all the boundaries this is what you
will discover, an unconditional caring, and
unconditional affection that flows through
all life and all matter and gives it meaning.
And you don't have to wait for the end of
the world to get this news, you can just simply
short circuit the collective march towards
that realization by accelerating your own
microcosm of spirituality through the use
of these hallucinogens, they are the doorways
that the gaian mind has installed in the historical
process to let anybody out anytime they want
to provided they have the courage to turn
the knob and walk through the door.
