Evolve...or Dissolve

We are in the midst of an amazing event...for the first time human beings on this planet are becoming able to actually choose our own evolutionary direction. Scientists and metaphysical thinkers agree that every atom of our bodies are made up of long dead stars! And so we could think of ourselves as conscious stardust, dwelling upon a watery globe - and constantly spinning through space at fantastic speed.

Our own birth process takes us from single cells in an ocean-like womb, to dividing and multiplying, to taking eventual shape as an embryo. But an embryo of...what?

Our bodies go through several changes, reflective of our own biological evolution.

The shape of a human embryo changes...
from that of a gilled creature
to that with lungs,
and next the appearance of wings
change into tiny arms.
We lose our tail as we change again,
and finally assume what is the current "human" appearance.

Many thinkers conclude that

consciousness has arrived through this evolutionary process -

others hold that

consciousness is the force responsible for the evolutionary process.

Both reasonings may be true...
as the Universe explores itself.

Do you remember this, in the atoms of your flesh and bones...
in your "spirit" deep within...?

Paintings that delight us,
Poetry that brings visions,
Music so beautiful it makes us cry
Sculpting that amazes us
Weaving that delights
and compassion that reaches across all boundries...
The wonders of science inspire us...
cause us to ever more appreciate this human experience.

What wonders are we humans capable of creating?

Our greatest desire is to add to that collective beauty.

"Through science, we human beings are able to grasp at least some of nature's secrets. We have cracked part of the cosmic code...We, who are children of the universe - animated stardust - can nevertheless reflect on the nature of that same universe... Through conscious beings the universe has generated self-awareness. This can be no trivial detail, no minor by-product of mindless, purposeless forces. We are truly meant to be here."
Paul Davies, Cosmologist
