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.
