Hello again. Apologize for the delay, I've been a little busy.
Thanks for the response True. Although, it seems that you are still saying the same thing, but substituting different words and species in the place of humans. Your ideas may not be wrong... but I am wondering what you mean by the word 'surpass,' when describing how maybe one day dolphins or whales might surpass humanity?
Surpass to what end? What would then be the strategic purpose of evolution?
But don't take my questions with any negative connotation because I certainly do not mean to pose them that way. I know you have thought about enlightenment, paradise, transcendence, etc. at some point in your life. You have imagined some kind of purpose, and developed faith in that purpose. My main area of study is the Ancient Egyptians, and there is so much discussion within the historical context that Egyptians were excessively concerned about an afterlife. I have found deeper truths in their philosophies, but I'm using all these things as en example of how the human mind-set is stuck in depicting and imaging things in a "linear" setting. Time for instance, is always "Point A to Point B," in modern civilization. So ultimately, I'm wondering if you really think creatures are evolving to "higher" levels of something, and if so, what higher level, and what is the purpose of higher levels?
I'll let you respond first, and then explain how Symbiotic Association fits into this. Very interesting stuff. Very Buddhist in its collective appeal.
Crow - as many channels as possible. I suggest starting a new thread wih your question as the topic line. Let us delve deep "and shatter the frozen sea within us."
Peace 4 now.
