I often wonder, if humans have intellectually peaked? Are we now, with our knowledge of the cosmos and the ideals of spiritual release into the cosmic ether forever ascending our existence as we speed through space as a shining rainbow-colored cloud of atom dust, peaked? Are we now released over fraught of pain and doom for the very essence of our eternity is locked within the bounds of atoms and the energy between them? Have we, as a society come to the knowledge that the very meaning of life, is to simply exist, as you always will, and shall forever to be? Are we now forgone the ensnaring desires that time has taught, the richest king a thousand years ago, made no difference, as time erases all glory, in any manner, eventually. Do we then strive for a life fulfilled of rich memory that is embedded in the very fabric of your being, the very building blocks for what one would consider a soul or a consciousness? Or are we more like who we thought came before us, the lesser intelligent cave men? With their primitive tools, barbaric sense of life, and what we would consider, completely unintelligent thought towards their existence? Are we more like them? What will a millennium of generations after us, say about us? Will they say we were cavemen? Will they look at our inability to form a single cohesive society that strives solely, for the empowerment of life of everyone? Will they see our stride for great achievements and the grand spectacles we’ve built, as petty? Are the pyramids a blazing example of how utterly pointless our greatest prides are, today, and will be in a couple of thousand of years. Why then do we keep beating that drum? Are we so blind to the lessons of history? Is this just the rules of nature, that the certain tribes inhabiting earth will destroy and conquer each other over and over again? Must there always be a “Rome”? Why are so many of us trapped in the idea that we must be better, build it bigger, than something or someone? Where did this need for superiority over your own very race arise from? When do we bond? When is complete community achieved? When will we protect human life, and disregard non-existential desires, and become one? I feel as most can feel this, see this, enjoy the ideal of a singular human race, an un-divided one, shooting through the stars on the cosmic winds of enlightenment as our blue and green berry planet spins in circles around our sun. If I can have this reasoning, then surely others have seen this as well. And if we have achieved awareness to this existence, in which we have seen the follies of our past, do we then shape the world to this reality? Is this the reality our intellect has conceived as ideal, and we are currently chasing that world? More people my age are forsaking material possessions, spending more time in nature, escaping the 40- hour work week, loving others freely. We are the most educated generation in the world, and many of us are choosing lives that directly conflict with what was considered the “American Dream”. The dream is no longer a ¾ acre plot, white picket fence, and the latest model Oldsmobile. The dream now, is experience, the world, connection, freedom. The emotional cognition, a burden of intelligence, is growing among us. The world is rejecting hate, stereotypes, the fight for equality is strong. It is not just about sex or race, but it’s about providing an equal existence of peace and happiness to all. We are plagued by the archaic ideals of the past, but I believe the horizon is close. What good is power, what use of fame, if your name won’t even last 5,000 years? We are tired of killing the planet, we are tired of killing each other, we are on the verge of finally caring for others more than we care for ourselves. We are soon to become the embodiment of our perceived divinities in which our ascension will be fulfilled, and we can revert to the very truth of freedom, as not be enslaved by such selfish, evil, ideals of existence. I believe this could be the very start of the gold age of enlightenment.
I enjoy philosophical discussion, thought I would just throw this out there.
