To Move Unshackled Into Tomorrow-1

Yesterday I posted a video on the improvements that the world has seen through the eyes of statistics. It is true that many great things have been accomplished. The world has evolved and each of us along with it…but there is copious amounts of research that show the path of progress is leading to a devolution of the the planet and ourselves…more so ourselves.

Imagine that instead of being subject to the rule of laws, governments and others, you are in fact a evolutionary product of the earth. The only reason that we do not percieve we are a part of a bigger whole is because of the limiting use of language. As I have written in previous posts there is an inability of language to convey experience, but rather creates false experiences in those who receive the message. Language as it is used today, often to manipulate and control, is becoming increasingly degraded as technology steps in and strips away the true communication aspect of language and makes it more a purely motor function (texting, typing etc) rather than interaction with the world of which we are part.

While language can be comforting, we all know that we feel far more at easy and in the fold of love when language is used to convey a point, but (inter)action is used to show proof of that point and that proof is sustained, steady and solid. When you see a beautiful sunset, or walk through a beautiful garden you may gasp or speak, but your true appreciation is proven by your focus, your attention, your contentment or wonder and your utter respect for the world which you are part. This is interaction and communication. It is a feeling, and feelings are energy, and energy is easily picked up by those around us. Words are the supplemental, yet are often used in the exclusive.

Each stage of life communicates. Cells communicate with one another to form our bodies, and the earth communicates with us, if we listen. Every animal on earth is finely tuned to listen to the communication of the earth. It is not auditory, rather it is an instinctual ability for animals to know that they are part of a single organism which is this planet, and the planet is a part of a much larger organism of which we are just starting to become more familiar – the universe. Thus each part plays its role, so that the whole can exist. If birds stop flying south, everything dies. If bees decide they no longer like flowers because they see a television show that says flowers can lead to shorter lives in susceptible bees…everything dies.

From the way I understand it, when cells stop communication with each other, they multiply too rapidly, spread, and a cancer of the body is formed. This is a process that occurs within the body…the body which by most people’s perception is a single entity which is disconnected from the world around it, and not intricately intertwined with the world’s evolution.

This, the cancer of the body, is a perfect corollary anecdote between the cancer we bestow on the planet through our ardent use of language to manipulate. The world is evolving, and everything in it is evolving at the same rate for the betterment of the entire planet. Although, because of inaccurate perception it is often hard for us to see that this may be case. Some humans posses free will, while many do not but live under the illusion of it. Those that live under the illusion of it are the ones who accept what and who is provided to them by the media, the governments, their job and all aspects of life. They may not like it, but they accept it by omitting to live differently.

Freewill of a few is multiplied by the entire of the population when the entire population fails to (inter)act. As it stands right now very few people on this planet communicate effectively. They spew language, often in frustration, anger, resentment or hate…and thus perpetuate and escalate the modalities of the world already in place. This degrades the evolutionary process. Evolution is the process of enhancement for the betterment of the entire organism, not just the organism within the structure which appears to be under change (extinction etc). For by failing to communicate how we percieve the world, we become the cancer. Not governments, not leaders…for they have expressed their ideas thus created a body. A body which must be acceptable to us, for we have not decided to live differently. Those that don’t take responsibility for their own life are the cancer. Therefore I cannot promote conflict. I cannot promote war or violent protest, but rather simply communicating and allowing ideas to flow and living according to that which is in each of us. As energy flows and real communication is re-established, the cancers of our world become extinct with no violent attack on them.

How language is used to manipulate, and how that manipulation results in action or inaction on our part to hurt the evolution of this planet should not be hard to see. But allow for a somewhat controversial example. Language is used in the courtship process of humans. Humans have the ability to manipulate a potential partner for the purpose of sex (or other desire or want) using language, as language can be used to override the subconscious communications which often looks at body language (a much more basic and generally honest form of communication) and other subtle ques which allow the person to determine if the person is a good potential suitor. Language is used to create an experience within the person which is then used against them. [I am greatly abbreviating a large topic here, and simplifying it.]

It is arguable that if the sensation is pleasant then no harm is done. But when we look at how coercion and manipulation of the sexual process is leading to population crises in many countries as well as an escalation of single mothers who while they do a fantastic job with the resources they have, cannot provide the masculine and feminine energies in the same qualities that are provided throughout the rest of the planetary system, we begin to have a problem. Please note, I am not advocating less sex. In fact I advocate more sex, but with the awareness that our acts affect the whole. And thus our acts should be in the best interest of ourselves AND others.

In the book Freakanomics the issue of the plummeting crime rates in the 90′s which was often associated with Rudolph Giuliani’s policies, aging population or innovative policing etc were debunked. The reason crime rates dropped was not because of anything to do with government policy, policing, or the attempt to rebuild society with a trickle down or a trickle up effect, rather it was the result of a single option introduced to woman about 20 years earlier. The option was that of abortion. Abortion eliminated an entire generation of children who were statistically more likely to enter a life of crime. Not that children born into impoverished backgrounds or broken homes or homes where circumstances are not good will grow up to be criminals, but simply that a large faculty of people who do in fact become criminals share this common background.

While some may argue that abortion is wrong, when we look at the process of events leading up to abortion – namely the likely manipulation or control of a woman to voluntarily or involuntarily give up control of her reproductive choice, then abortion is an evolutionary tool which is an attempt to right a wrong which has already occurred. In a sense, it is the mathematical principle that two negatives make a positive. An attempt to exert damage control, when our choices have already placed us in a situation where where betterment is not likely.

Looking at the example of how men, and sometimes woman, use language to manipulate and fulfill desires…this results in either a population explosion, children brought up in unstable environments (increasing crime which destabilizes communications and break down our evolutionary potential) or the use of abortion. Abortion is perceived as a choice now which can avoid later problems, whereas allowing the population explosion or unfit parent(s) bearing children means consequences later – an extermination by the planet so it can maintain equilibrium.

[I am neither arguing for or against abortion. Rather the point of the article is to suggest that each person must do what they feel is in the best interest of them self and others when making all decisions. It is not societies role to dictate what choice should be taken, nor to judge the choice after it has been made by the individual.]

This brings us to how the planet attempt to regulate the whole. We worry about global warming because of how it will affect us, not necessarily the planet. The planet has been through a lot over the years: ice ages, floods, comets, fires, people saying it will end any day now… and it is fine. It is part of a bigger system and it fulfills its role. If that role is jeopardized by us, it will eliminate us, as doing so is in the best interest of the whole.

But the earth has not done this to us yet. We have not been wiped out, and there is an evolutionary reason for that. The entire system is better off with us, or has at least been so far. It is up to each of us to keep it that way. To remain part of the evolutionary fabric of our planet and the constant betterment of all things, we must once again learn to interact. Language is a tool for communication. But communication runs far deeper; it is being attuned to nature and the people with whom we share our experience. We are all connected within a finely tuned universe.

We are not alone. Cells which stop communicating, lose their purpose. The lack of interaction with the other cells creates a cell which becomes out of sorts with its environment. To relate this to what a human might do: when a human feels this way, they spread their ideas of aloneness. They multiply their ideas, spreading them all around by isolating themselves and others…or, words are exchanged (often grumbling) but there is no real connection, communication or deep interaction. Interaction between more and more cells (people) breakdown until the cancer (the idea of aloneness, fear, stress, anxiety) has consumed the whole.

But evolution does not lie in other peoples hands. It lies in yours. My evolution lies in my hands. For while I am part of the evolving world, with each part having a role in the collective movement of the whole, in the end it is each of us who will decide whether we will be a part of the world that interacts and pushes for the betterment of all or if we will fail to (inter)act and become part of the cancer which ultimately destroys us.

Opt to express, to live. Not in the shadow of language used to disguise fear and motives we are ashamed of, but rather in honest interaction where we express, so that others can also express freely. In this way we create the highest order of evolution…what some might call self-evolution. Where we are free to be what we are, because it is important to the whole. And we allow others to be who they are because they are also important to the whole…and they are important in shaping our own evolution.

This is the first part of a series of articles that will look at how we can unshackle ourselves from ideas which isolate us, breakdown our communication with loved ones, and ultimately keep us from seeing and facing our own inner demons. We will look at how in fact nothing controls us, not government, not law…only the habits that we have created. This journey will be scary at times. It will force us, both I and you, to face the things we fear the most…our inner power, our responsibility and our purpose. When we are left without excuses the world becomes very large…and at first it is scary until we realize that as a person and as a civilization there are only two things we can do…we can grow or we can protect. When we lose our fear and the need to protect ideas and theories which are nothing but illusions anyway, all we have left to do is to grow into our large new world.
