" If there were no real propensity to unite, even at a prodigiously rudimentary level, indeed, in the molecule itself ~ it would be impossible for love to appear higher up in the ' hominized ' or human form:" Teilhard de Chardin
Many of my readers have asked me if I still have faith in where we are going , as a country, partcularly in light of an obvious Bush/Cheney plan for a permanent U.S. military and economic domination of every region on the globe as well as a philosophy that " the best defense is a pre-emptive good offense . "
Let me make it emphatically clear that the natural state of man is not war ( as Dick Cheney says ) ~ the natural state of man is social cooperation, community and altruism and we avoid it at our evolutionary peril .
We are now in the midst of an enormous transformation of consciousness on our planet .
A giant shift from the darkness of ego consciousness ~ might makes right, control versus empowerment, greed versus service , separateness versus community, and corporate ownership and power at any price ~ to a place of light and soul consciousness where social cooperation, community and altruism replace separateness and survival of the fittest.
This dark ego consciousness must come to the surface , like an infected boil , before it can be lanced by the truth and light of soul consciousness ~ where we surrender to our diversity and commonality and our innate life enhancing propensity to unite and cooperate with one another.
This is a painful and stressful transition for we are forced to see the reality of the consciousness we have created ~ because of our fear, greed and false values.
There is no way this shift can be avoided ~ because our destiny is divine and although the transistion may be painful ~ ourselves and all nations will eventually unite in a common state of altruism and social cooperation ~ regardless of how separated we are now.
Indeed, some say that human cooperation may have evolved out of a penchant for frequent warfare as a recent article in Scientific American Love Thy Neighbor Evolved Out of Vicious Competition theorized on December 7th, 2006.
But I'm convinced that the need to unite and cooperate is innate and not learned.
Scientific American wrote of this innate evolutionary urge to cooperate in its June 1995 article THE ARITHMETICS OF MUTUAL HELP, by Martin Nowak, Robert May and Karl Sigmund;
" Computer experiments show how cooperation rather than exploitation can dominate in the Darwinian struggle for survival.. In the course of evolution, there appears to have been ample opportunity for cooperation to have assisted everything from molecules to humans. In a sense, cooperation could be older than life itself. "
And indeed it is ~ and what else but love could be older than life itself.
So I decided to explain in this newsletter why we cannot escape our destiny and why it is divine.
And it begins with the premise that what is deepest within us is love, Joy and a state of soul consciousness ~ which reveals itself collectively as a universal urge to unite.
The basic underlying and uniting force of the Universe is a psychic energy field of love and soul consciousness ( the Unified Field ) which lies not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears. It's principle property is the urge to unite which underlies not only the quantum world of the atom but ALSO the physical world of planets, galaxies and gravity ~ which is a condition of state within this field.
