I sit here today and wonder; will the human
collective consciousness ever evolve from a consciousness of hunting and
gathering? The Neanderthalic instincts of hunting and gathering are still well
and truly alive today. How many wars are created and countries decimated or
invaded to gather up wealth and power through hunting down a quarry for what it
possesses?
I am not being critically judgmental here,
having the instincts of a Neanderthal isn't bad or good, negative or positive;
it's just simply an existence or a consciousness mentality to exist by or not.
All I am saying is that we haven't consciously evolved much from a
Neanderthalic conscious mentality. Look at it this way, how many of us hunt down
knowledge to gather? How many of us hunt down wealth and power for personal
possession and accumulation? What do devout religious parishioners do? Hunt
down would be parishioners to gather in a flock, this is also no different to
multinationals who hunt down anything they are able to gain wealth and power
from.
Our mentality today is still primarily
ruled by Neanerthalic instincts of accumulation or acquisition through hunting
which is another form of searching; the difference today is we often do it for
a desire rather than a need!!
A good example of this is devised from a
couple of questions as follow. Is the accumulation or gathering knowledge a desire or a
need? Seen as knowledge is highly destructive, especially to our environment,
and is set up to primarily assist Neandertholic mentalities like multinationals
to become wealthier and more powerful, is knowledge a need or a desire unlike
awareness? Don't make the mistake and think knowledge and awareness are the
same, there not as I will explain.
Everything is separated through knowledge where
awareness actually brings everything together as one. We can only accumulate
knowledge through acknowledgment of what we are aware of; this takes us to
label everything different, however, awareness isn't an accumulation to start
with, its just an awareness void of a need to comprehend everything through
numerous labels for acknowledgment. Within this kind of mentality, there is
simply no separation.
Yes, this isn't easy to comprehend and
acknowledge when we are conditioned to be primarily of a Neanderthalic
consciousness. Look at it this way; we still look at awareness as being
accumulated through knowledge but knowledge of what? This is the point. There is absolutely
nothing new about the knowledge we are using today or the knowledge we will be
using, it all comes from the same source and has always existed. When you
consider, for a small example, that spectacles and a high tensile steel hammer
have been found to be thousands of years old, there is simply nothing new about
the knowledge we use today and will use tomorrow. All knowledge simply comes
from a single source, a source that is whole in nature unlike knowledge which
is naturally divided in nature.
This singular source is known by many
names, God, oneness, the zero point, pure awareness and so on. Taoism doesn't
have a name for this point of origin; it's just simply being of the Tao, of God
if you like. This very source is the source of all knowledge void of
separation, only through hunting down and accumulating knowledge is this source
then separated and only through this separation can we experience conflict.
This is why there is no conflicts within a pure aware state of consciousness,
there is simply no separation, only through hunting and gathering is there
separation therefore conflict.
It's really a bit of a con when we are made
to believe we need knowledge to become aware. As what has been predicted by
numerous sources, the Mayan calendars are a good example of this, we are
entering into a major conscious change, I think this means we will no longer
need to accumulate knowledge to become aware, we will simply enter a state of
consciousness and become aware void of using any kind of Neanderthalic
consciousness of hunting and gathering. This kind of consciousness will in the
end be of no use to us.
This universe/dimension is naturally of
extreme motions; this energy will of course quite naturally influence any
consciousness to be the same within this sphere.
If you take any notice of what any of the
great wise and aware people have written, they didn't want to change this
sphere or even change what this sphere has created within it's influence, all they wanted to do is
influence this sphere to be more moderate, more balanced, within this sphere of influence. People like Rumi,
Jesus, Confucius, Buddha, Muhammad and Gandhi and so on, are to me the wise and
aware. When you read what they actually wrote, you will find they never tried
to force change, only to influence a needed change to occur. Notice a needed
change as to a desired change especially on a personal level.
Confucius, for example, was displeased when
he passed away, not because he didn't change he's environment, he's sphere of
influence, he wasn't pleased because he thought he didn't influence the sphere
he was apart of enough to make a real long lasting difference. I think you will
also find this with Jesus, in actuality, this was probably the case with many
others as well.
The hunter and gatherer will always force a
change to occur instead of simply being influential, this is after all is it's
nature within a highly motional universe/dimension. However, if we reread the
great writings of the wise and aware while thinking in influence instead of
change, we would find new messages to be had within these wise and aware
writings. The message is of moderation and balance while within a sphere of
excessive motions. We are simply not just the hunter and gatherer, we are all
much more than this, of course only the true wise aware will want to know this
and influence change in moderation and balance, leaving excessive/extreme
motions out of their own sphere of activity.
