I have my own biases that come from what allowed me, personally, to both survive the events of my life and to prosper. That only makes sense. But what I find is that in this overspecialized world, most people cannot see my point of view, especially if they are highly educated and specialized in down their narrow intellectual paths. Though I understand this point of view it sort of reminds me of what happened to people at the first motorized flight by the Wright Brothers. Most people there and around the world absolutely could not actually believe motorized heavier than air flight was possible. It was as if some one told them that rocks could fly. (If some one told you rocks could fly today, would you believe them?) I suppose it was also the same when the first metal boats were built. At first, ships were plated with metal that were wood in order to stop cannonballs from destroying ships. Then, innovative ships like the Monitor and the Merrimac were built that proved metal ships withstood cannon fire much better than wooden ones. This changed forever, the way sea going battles were fought. However, now all ships are sitting ducks for ballistic nuclear missiles. So, as soon as Hiroshima and Nagasaki happened, all ships and normal battle plans became obselete forever, (as long as there is technology or memory of how to built nuclear weapons.)
But, I guess what I'm actually trying to get at here is that all humans since time immemorial used their basic instincts to survive. Over time they codified those instincts in some ways into religions, science and philosophy, and eventually psychology and the other sciences. However, let us not forget where we all started. If we only worship science and forget that we all sprung (survivor wise) from basic human instinct with a light overlay of intelligence, we forget who we really are. I understand that religions tend to try to make us forget how self sufficient we really are in order to get us to financial support them. But when we actually give over our instincts and intuition to anyone else we become slaves to whoever it is that we give over our instincts and intuition to. I can see the value of giving over to nature (from whence we all biologically sprung) from. But when we give over to either any religion or even to science itself in a blind way, then both religion and science are our masters and we are their slaves. So, do not forget that you are completely self sufficient in the end. Take a survival course some day and learn to live with only a knife and a blanket in the wilderness. You will feel differently about everything in life after about a week or two with this kind of training. If this kind of experience works for you, you might also try a native American Sweat Lodge and the womb of mother earth experience. As your primal senses open up you become what all our most ancient ancestors were, both human and primal in every way. What this really means is not understood by most people today. For we all are much more than the some of our parts. In the end we are mammals and of a pack and tribal at core, all the rest is societal conditioning. Though societal conditioning may keep us from harming others and being cannibals it also separates us from all that we are naturally. This primal journey when taken in compassion of yourself and all life around you is the most ultimately civilizing and empowering journey that I ever embarked upon in my 30s during the 1980s. It led me to Native American Medicine men and women in California, Oregon and Idaho, and Tibetan Lamas in Santa Cruz, San Francisco, India and Nepal and changed my life ever after as I discovered who I really was past, present and future.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
