It's weekend, only the regulars are looking, so I can ramble safely...  Continuation of yesterday.  As I theorised yesterday, I choose to believe that Earth interacts with us subtly through landscape and our perception of it to a far greater degree than we suspect.  If that is so, then we (humanity) become the interface between heaven and earth, the nanobots of evolution, stuck in this thin membrane of life between the dark void and the gross material.  To quote (here) McKenna, ‘Human history represents such a radical break with the natural systems of biological organization that preceded it, that it must be the response to a kind of attractor, or dwell point that lies ahead in the temporal dimensions'.  But the difference between us and other forms of life is that we can anticipate futures, predict, hope, laugh and love in a way that no other species seems to do (apart, possibly, from cats...).  And this gives us an edge, a way out of the normal into a higher consciousness, into the mystery of the new future.  Be sure that the planets have their own long term interest in their evolution and cycles, but the Earth is compassionate, she gives a chance.  The future is in the imagination, it's only through the letting go of greed, profit, racism, sexism, ridicule, anger and martyrdom that we can really emerge into the ‘promised land'.  And this is not just me rambling!  The acceleration of population, technology and spirituality over recent decades has pushed us ever faster, to the omega point awaiting us within the lifetimes of ninety percent of those reading this.  McKenna again:  ‘If the truth can be told so it can be believed, it will be understood'.  Ramble off......
