Evolution exposed
Evolution is expected to be a continuous change or mutation of living organisms and everything else in harmony (presumably) with
the changes of time and space.
We would like to think that if something has "evolved", it has become better in whatever that "better" means.
Yet we have countless examples of evolution into decay or worse. It goes from the
extinction of the dinosaurs to the ruins of China's
Great Wall and of the Egypt's Pyramids to the fall of past civilizations.
Doubts?
Is the penguin evolving into a fish or into a land animal?
Meanwhile, the penguins have evolved into living "naked" in their environment, like virtually every other species, except the humans.
We would not survive naked where penguins live in the South Pole.
The worm that fertilizes the soil by digesting it through
his body seems to be by far closer to merging with the
soil and universe than we...
Cut the worm, and the two halves keep wiggling.
This can recall a scientific finding that the smaller the brain, the less it feels pain or conflict with the environment.
What suffering is left in the worm?
Thus Isn't the worm very much closer to the final zero-goal than we?
What if we progressively deactivate our brain until we
react to
nothing more, and so will not suffer any more?
Isn't that the point where life and death meet to merge beyond suffering and
happiness?
But what about life, love, creativity, building, organizing feats and empires?
Thermodynamics is scientifically correct when it asserts that every organic or inorganic process in the universe happens with an irreversible loss of some energy, technically designated as "entropy".
For scientists and everybody else, this universal and
Its inescapable "degradation" is a cosmic tendency toward a motionless
eternity beyond life and death...
Like two intersecting lines life and non-life, they meet at the point where they
converge and
expand at the same time.
It is so gigantic that we are too limited to comprehend it in full.
Life always causes the death of other life and of itself.
We cannot survive without killing and devouring other lives, billions of them every day: animal and plants..., even if it is an enormously confusing "entropic" pattern...
Think hard to understand that the mutation of thinking into entropic patterns is the path to the universal solution...
Could it be incomprehensible?
Only before we are detached from desire, emotion and
thought...
Yoga? Well, sort of, and beyond... ***/
We are busy evolving not ourselves but our artificial means of survival and "progress".
For instance, telephone instead of telepathy, clothing
instead of undressed all-weather resistance, airplanes instead of wings, or whatever
"improves"
artificial life instead or our nature...
Continuing our concentration on artificial means tends to diminish our natural
survival or "progress", like the resistance to some bacteria if we use too much
of some antibiotics.
The habit of using locomotion vehicles can diminish our
natural mobility without artificial means.
Ultimately, however, we may realize that our decaying into worsening
helplessness brings us closer to the ultimate solution of life merging with
death.
Like a rock?
No feelings, no ego tragically entrapped in in a rock or nailed on a cross forever, in a nightmarish impossibility to be freed.
But being like a rock could also inspire the vision of an eternal lack of good and evil that neither needs nor wishes liberation or change from anything,.
How can we measure and interpret the congruity of conceiving and nurturing a human being for 20 or 100 years, and then seeing him destroyed in a few second by a sword, bomb or any other sudden calamity?
Growing, learning, creating are extremely complicate, long and laborious, whereas destroying or killing are incredibly easy and fast.
How many centuries of work and with what astronomical expenses could we build New York?
Well, a brute primitive can destroy a city like New York in seconds by just exploding a nuclear devise on it.
That is because the laws of nature have a destructive slant that goes even beyond entropy.
Thus, why do we give so much importance to such fragile and insignificant life?
Let's sit under a tree and watch our body breath... and start detaching ourselves from "self-centered" breathing,, suffering, pleasures... until life and death merge...
It might need one full life, or over one thousand lives: eternity can wait.
What about Heaven and Hell? Should we believe, like the Islamist suicide bombers, that we go to Heaven to enjoy eternal love-making with the immortal and permanently virgins "Houries" for the whole eternity, if we kill and die for Allah?..
Or is our Heaven a place where we will enjoy the eternal pleasure of playing the harp and singing God's glory?...
What about the aborted children, the billions of hapless
victims devoured each day by animals, humans and other forms of life, and the innocent victims of
the thousends of massacres in all countries and centuries?
Some believe that we are reborn again and again into a new life of suffering until we learn to fuse with the universe: perhaps even thousands of lives, if necessary... That is the real HELL...
Everyone and everything ultimately becomes dust or its undefined equivalent...
And the dust is swallowed into its own black hole too...
The only certainty in life is death and decay.
Emperors and slaves, all die inexorably and will be just as powerless and
decomposed after death.
We may conquer empires, invent the wheel, compose the
Divine Comedy, and will be no better than the village drunk after death...
Why are we the closest to death when we have evolved the most and best of our knowledge and wisdom?
What are we to do?
NOTHING?
Well: there is BUDDAH's message:
1) Life is suffering.
2) Cause of suffering is desire.
3) To eliminate suffering,, we must eliminate desire.
4) This path of "liberation" exists.
Simple, but extremely arduous.
We solve everything when we reach (or evolve into) the point where life and death make no difference for us, after detaching from ourselves all our desires and dislikes, from love to hatred, from happiness to suffering, from hope to fear...
If we cannot reach there in this life, we are reborn into another life again... and again..., to try again... and again...Even if we need to live and suffer more thousands of lives.... as I said before...
That's HELL...
But there is a light, no matter how far, at the far end of the tunnel...
What if we are in the middle of this chain of lives which
could have started thousands of lives ago?
Again: let's begin with detaching ourselves from pain and our body gradually by something like saying "it is my body that suffers, not I", "My body breaths, not I"... and on and higher to more complex feelings and sophisticated non-perceptions of feeling and thoughts... The ultimate becomes a state where life an death fuse to a point that we feel like neither alive nor death... and beyond that to the ultimate we cannot imagine without arriving there first..
It takes months... years... a whole life... Or we nee another life (or many lives) to try again...
Now we know the arduous way ...
Evidently, I am not there yet..
Nor are you...
