Love Evolution

Been thinking.... A LOT. Can't begin to re-trace the train of events and the flow of thought that led me to the spiritual revelation which I received today but I'll try and explain the concepts that led me there.... using a somewhat mathematical breakdown. Basically, I believe that right now, while a few wise ones (comparatively speaking) have already been able to achieve it, we are at a cusp in time when the masses achieve an evolution of consciousness. We are, collectively, going to figure out the meaning/secret to life itself soon.... This is all of what i've been pondering from January of this year through a few days ago:

What makes us different from other species on this planet? THOUGHT. Cognition. Apes have apposable thumbs and can walk almost upright, they could probably achieve most physical feats we can what separates us from them is our ability to think, THAT is how we evolved from ape to man (biological evolutionary science i think supports this as the major change seen between apes and humans is skull shape and size, right?).

We gained the ability to learn about and adapt to our environment and we've been able to achieve an amazing ability to do that- we enjoy a standard of survival (won't say standard of "living" cuz I don't think we've achieved that yet) above any generation before us. But we became so good at it that we began to esteem ourselves as above nature itself- as if we could live beyond the limitations of what our earth (God...?) has put in place for us survive. We are close to completely destroying our very means of survival; we were only given this one planet. Our adaptive nature, from that initial evolutionary moment (ape to man), is making us more and more collectively aware of this problem.

Now, think of what one of the key discoveries was when we were at the last evolutionary moment. Think about the story from Genesis; Adam and Eve. The story goes that instead of eating from "Tree of Life" they bit into the apple from the "Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil". In my Christian days, I was told by some this was metaphorical and by some it was literal. At the time I read a short book that explained it as metaphorical, not getting into the biting of the apple and what that meant, but explaining  how when it says "God formed man in his image", that doesn't mean if we could see God he would look like a human, it means he created us with free will.... Knowledge! Consciousness! This struck a cord with me and I adopted the belief as my own. But I never could figure out what all that deceiving serpent, apple biting, cast from the garden stuff was about.

Then today I thought, imagine what we might have realized soon after we gained our free will, our knowledge.... that we can/have hurt our brother. Somewhere in the midst (which was probly a span of a few  ten thousand years or so) of this period in our evolution we were at an unique transition; aggression/violence was an act of self-preservation, an instinct, as it is with animals, but we who recently gained knowledge had a dilemma- we felt empathy... compassion... LOVE. How could we kill our fellow man, for any reason? We instantly felt GUILT. So as we gained love we also instantly gained guilt... "the knowledge of good and evil". Think about it, animals don't have true love or guilt.

I watched a program on animal planet once where they were following a family of polar bears. The mother polar bear had 2 cubs, one was robust and healthy, aggressive, the other was smaller and weaker and the mother polar bear sometimes had to intervene and protect him from his brother, or carry him distance. Momma polar bear eventually abandon the weaker cub, because her instinct told her that helping him along would compromise the survival of herself and her stronger cub. She did what she, instinctively, had to do. Just as male lions will fight and kill others to protect they're tribe, ensuring the survival of their offspring. We now have the capacity to ensure our survival without violence, there is enough for everyone if we share and respect each others right to live. So why do we still fight?

Now, if you think about it, what separates us the most from our "brother" today? What causes strife? Human dissonance is centered around differences in what we believe is "right" and "wrong"; what constitutes our "right to live". It's an ethical quandry we can never seem to agree on. I've always felt our founding fathers mocked us when they asserted the government would protect the human rights of "life, liberty and happiness"- did they think we'd really agree on the definition of that?!!  Why can't we agree. I've narrowed it down to this: we have guilt because we hurt our brother, this causes us to doubt our intellectual aptitude at all which makes us feel worthless- it's this constant feeling of worthlessness and inherent evil that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy perpetuating this horrible cycle, for what, at least a million years now (idk).

So here is an extremely brief history of the human psyche starting at the dawn of our "birth"; "I love you! Oh no, what have I done?! I am a wretched fool! I am stupid, worthless! If i'm fallible, so are you, you are wrong! I'm wrong, your wrong, we're bad and we do bad things! God help us! Govern us, we're stupid and bad! Make us whole, teach us the way, we'll fight our way in, we'll buy our way in, please tell us we're worthy!!"

THIS is why the corporations, governments, banks, etc have been able to take advantage of us and control us. They've helped perpetuate and kept this self lie going because it profits them (they are the few victims of extraordinary knowledge coupled with intense guilt, passed down over generations). We are unworthy and vulnerable simply because we think we are, we are violent simply because we think we are. "Evil" is guilt in disguise, and guilt is all in our heads. But what came before the feeling of guilt was the feeling of LOVE. Love is our true nature, love is part of the knowledge that separates us from other species. When we accept this, when we forgive ourselves, and our brother, we can reconcile with love, and know peace on earth. I believe these were the real teachings of Jesus.

It's time to reconcile with our true nature and take the next step in evolution from surviving on this planet to living on it. The only barrier is ignorance (in the literal and NOT judgmental sense). When we collectively overcome ignorance, and gain our new knowledge we will adapt by reconciling with love. It's the next evolutionary step and the vibration of it's fast approaching is already being felt- this is at the essence of the Occupy movement; a peaceful call, a spiritual hum resonating in anticipation of this evolutionary phase.
2012.... Bring it on!

Pretty confident in this philosophy (and pretty sure someone has philosophized it before) but as always, open to ideas,
