Do you ever let go of the thinking process, release yourself from paying attention to the individual components of your thoughts and let your brain operate quickly just below your thoughts in the moment (i.e., not actively observing the "stream of consciousness")?
Just how malleable are the body/brain machinations?
Do you see the value of ants in your yard and home?
Do you grasp the necessity of the cycles of life?
Do you fight against or give yourself over to the impermanence of the moment?
My colleagues debate these questions.
Between me and the light bulb are photons and other states of energy.
However, "me" and "light bulb" are fuzzy images, states of states of energy that represent organisation and knowledge sets, with self-awareness in one and specifically-designed function in another.
We say an ordinary light bulb has one function: to brighten up a place.
But a light bulb is not just a light bulb. It's composed of glass, gas, wire, metal and ceramic. These components were derived from raw materials and will decompose until the light bulb is no longer a light bulb one day.
To optimise the machine we call this planet in order to produce what we, as components of this planet / solar system, creatures of the moment who've followed ourselves in our invention of a product called the future we believe we're destined to produce, we seek the permanence in impermanence.
Knowledge sets are not separate from the environment. The thoughts in my body that make me pick a light bulb out of my surroundings are also part of the surroundings.
Some people see through the lens of holistic healing. Some people see without any lenses. Some drive Audi TTs, the concrete image of their dreams, and some manage whole networks in their imaginations that never become reality.
However, we all live here and now, taking our first and last breath, figuratively or literally, wholly part of this part of the lit-up sky around us we call the universe.
We can train ourselves to see life as simply living, reproducing and dying. We can train ourselves to see images that add extra meanings to the meaning of life.
No matter what we see as individuals, we are integrated into this moment, always living in the moment, no escape from the moment, giving full attention to this moment (or not).
Thus, it is to our advantage to include all images, both what we call life and what we call not-life, into the environment that encloses us in the moment.
Instead of training one of you to take the Book of the Future from me, I'm training anyone who wants this stuff for free.
I highly advise you to erase the image of a self and give yourself over to the moment.
When the moment is all there is and there is no you, then you see what's really going on. Suddenly, old desires that belonged to a "you" disappear.
Only a few of you will figure this out. The rest of you will go on to pursue dreams and ideas not tied to an integral image of the moment. No worries - every one of us is different - individualist or conformist pursuits of yours are to be commended.
No matter what you think you do, your life is still part of the environment we all share.
Remember, there is a group of people that nudges the whole planet along in order to protect the species from self-destruction and to make sure that all species are taken into account while planning how to expand life off this planet.
We do not live in a vacuum.
Our bodies are part of an environment we'll need to take with us or duplicate as we move off this planet while we figure out how to reconfigure ourselves and integrate us into new environments that we've thoroughly studied (but never thoroughly enough) [so we won't expose the new environments to potentially toxic states of energy (bacteria, viruses, or other "bugs") in/on our bodies] and take advantage of the opportunity to create unique versions of ourselves that will increase our chances for long-term survival in the permanent impermanence we call the universe.
Ultimately, we'll split our species into incompatible versions that will adjust to and change with their local environments. Always have, always will. Those who see this clearly are the ones working for your benefit, not theirs.
Is your offspring ready to be reconfigured to eat moon dust for breakfast or Martian soil for lunch? Will you watch your reconfigured great-great grandchildren settle onto a moon of Jupiter or Saturn?
Some of us are willing to help if you and/or your offspring are willing to adapt to changes on whisper-thin edges of the limits of our imaginations in this moment.
If you think your children are strange or alien to you now, hardly understanding their pop culture language, wait until you hear what we've got in store for their future (or yours, if you're interested)!
Hop on board the Outer Space Express, the only true life-changing experience in this galaxy!!!
