Final Evolution

Why can’t people mind their own business?

I believe that having a happy, full life, is an absolute priority. You should do whatever makes you happy, providing it doesn’t harm anyone else.

Sometimes though, this means doing things that other people disapprove of. Drinking, taking drugs, eating from huge corporate chains like McDonalds, worshipping a football team, watching violent movies, gambling, not going to church. All of these things can add value to your life and be enjoyable. Will doing these things make you go to hell?

Whether you do any of these things or not, there will be a large community of people who disagree with how you live your life, because it doesn’t conform perfectly to their belief system. Who cares what they think, right? Let them think what they want. That’s how you might see it, but sadly some care so deeply about their beliefs, that you not conforming to them is personally offensive to them.

I might disagree with religion as a whole, but I live for a world where everyone can believe what they want unhindered. You see the problem is not religion itself, but the context in which it’s put. All religious beliefs are taken as absolute. There is no room to debate them. They must be taken as they were written, or translated, hundreds of years ago.

What if all religions are right and wrong in some way? Why can’t we take away the walls that separate all the different beliefs, and use our current knowledge and common sense to come up with our own beliefs, that aren’t dogmatic and rigid, and incorporate all the good parts from all religions?

If everyone had slightly different beliefs, there wouldn’t be the segregation between Jews and Muslims, Catholics and Protestants, Hindus and Buddhists. If everyone respected other people’s beliefs and let everyone live how they wanted, providing they didn’t harm anyone else, world peace might not be far behind.

Seeing the Big Picture

First, think about this.

Concious humans will:

• Cure cancer
• Create artificial intelligence
• Grow spare body parts
• Create the means for humans to grow back severed limbs
• Cure all disabilities
• Cure death and aging
• Elimitate the need for sleep
• Colonise the galaxy
• Create a new galaxy

Now, how did you feel when you read that list? Sound like a load of sci fi nonsense? Sound impossible? Sound immoral?

Well of course. A lot of it is a long way off. But whenever people are presented with ideas that are so far fetched, they tend to just dismiss them. They usually look at the first step, see it as impossible, and give up. Or they see moral dilemas being raised by it and then take the stance that we shouldn’t do it.

Not “Evolved” people. They will recognise the above list as a collection of Super Concepts. Ideas that are so radical that they not only look impossible, but are highly controversial. However, an “Evolved” person would not dismiss the ideas, they would see them as a big jigsaw picture with many of the pieces missing.

Whereas the average person thinks linearly and gives up on that first step, someone who has read and integrated the concepts in Power Essence’s book Evolve thinks creatively, using the left and right sides of their brain to see a partly assembled picture and work out how to find the missing pieces. It may involve breaking the missing pieces into smaller pieces, but the idea itself is not out of reach like it is from a non-integrated thinker.

If an idea is seemingly controversial, most people would get into a debate about it, calling to bear all their personal feelings, beliefs, religious views or whatever. The debate is not founded in reality, it is corrupted by irrationalities. Usually when you strip away the irrational, biased, non reality based concepts, it’s often clear that something isn’t really controversial.

Power Essence’s E-Book Evolve goes into extensive detail about how to see the world without the irrational tinted glasses. It also shows you how to not only recognise world shaking super concepts, but how to create your own.

We are capable of so much more, but too many people stop at the first step, without looking at the big picture from a rational point of view. Imagine what can be created if we allow ourselves to dream, unhindered.

Rejecting Authority is the only way to see true reality.

If your mind is being influenced by external source, ie: other people, then any concept you form in your mind is subject to any irrationalities and non sequiturs that those other sources have used.

Let me explain using the most dominant and irrational form of authority in today’s world, religion. Religion controls billions of people using concepts not based on reality. It tells people how to think, and what moral guidelines to follow. Worst of all though, it undermines the most basic concepts of reality, and becomes the entire foundation for one’s thinking.

As a child, you see the world around you only in reality. It is all you know. However as you are exposed to religion by adults, your grasp on reality is instantly shattered. You no longer think by the same set of rules. By believing in something that cannot be proven, you now see the world through eyes of faith, and then, nothing is out of the bounds of possibility. From the moment your mind has faith, you no longer see reality.

Following on from this, you look to be guided in every area of your life. You no longer think for yourself. Once you believe that something is watching over you, ruling you, and everything you do is answerable to by this imaginary being, you become afraid. You want to ensure you’re doing the right thing so you don’t go to hell or wherever it is you’re being threatened with. So you begin to follow all authority. Before you know it, you have no mind of your own and are unable to make decisions unless you follow the rules of all authority.

“Thinking men cannot be ruled.” – Ayn Rand

Of course, we need rules and moral guidelines to live by. The danger however, is to let others prescribe them for us. They create the rules and guidelines but don’t always do it based on reality. All authority is dangerous. Religion and government have power over us because we allow them to. We look to be led, to be controlled. And they are in complete control of our lives.

Most of the time the government acts for good, but it has the potential to do whatever it wishes, and it will act on these wishes whether they are based on reality or not. Some prime examples include the limitations on stem cells and the patriot act. These decisions were made based on lies and fabrications, and they limit society.

By using our own mind to think in uncorrupted, rational concepts based only on reality, we come to conclusions that are shocking to the irrational, non-reality based masses. A couple of examples? What about the fact that the Earth revolves around the sun and not the other way around, the Earth is round, and matter is made up of atoms (something that religious people said was a heresy when it was discovered)?

Religion and government continue to control us, sending us to war, taking away our basic liberties, hindering medical progress. It is all because people are still, after all these centuries, thinking in corrupted, irrational concepts not based on reality, and they do this because their reality based mind is corrupted by faith at an early age.

We must stop the poisoning and indoctrinating of young minds by religion, politics and the media. We must teach our children to see only reality, and then watch as they grow into incredible value creating people.

If atheists were a strongly defined group that could adopt a strongly defined, albeit secular, set of morals, perhaps more religious people could be persuaded to drop their supernatural beliefs. Many religious people really do question the validity of their beliefs, and every day science continues to strip religion’s credibility, but very few doubt the morals that religion gives them. This is what gives religion its strength. If it teaches how to be a good person, all the nonsense that comes with it must also be accepted.

However, atheism is not a strongly defined group, and therefore can never adopt its own strongly defined set of morals with which to “advertise” itself. This is one reason religious fundamentalists feel so strongly about infidels. Atheists are anarchists, they say. They have no rules for how to live their life!

Many atheists will just look at this statement with contempt, agreeing that they enjoy debauching and sinning, but in reality most atheists will disagree that their lives are lacking any moral guidelines. To go further, some atheists will argue that their moral guidelines are better than that of a religious person. That is because an atheist’s morals are derived from REALITY.

Atheists have no make-believe god or child-molesting priest telling them what is right and wrong. Their minds are not corrupted by guilt or false promises. They get their morals from their experiences. Eventually atheists come to the natural conclusion that harming other people or their property is bad, whereas making people happy and helping others is good. There are other morals of course, like having respect for yourself, but the most fundamental morality is based on not harming others.

Religion claims to have the same moral guidelines, but with one major flaw.

This difference between the morality of religion and atheism is that religion JUDGES first!

Religious people take it upon themselves to decide who to apply their morality to. They may outwardly profess that they’re against harming others, but if you’re a homosexual, a drunk, or even someone who doesn’t believe the same as them, this morality does not apply to you. It is ok to harm you, physically, or by taking away your rights. Religious people are more concerned about pushing their morality onto others than keeping their own morals intact. Many who claim to be religious will stoop to any level of immorality to stop immorality.

Atheists tend not to judge. They are more accepting of people with different beliefs and morals. They have no demented certainty to force onto others. The morality is still based on not harming others, and being a good human being, but unlike religious bigots, they don’t reserve this morality for people with the same beliefs.

This is why atheists have far greater morality that any religious person will ever have.

You may have heard the term “Transhumanism”. It is an idea system defined in the dictionary as “man remaining man, but trans­cending himself, by realizing new possibilities of and for his human nature” or “Advocacy of improvement to the human condition through enhancement technologies, such as eliminating aging and expanding intellectual, physical or physiological capacities.”

If you haven’t heard of it, you will almost certainly have heard of stem cells, nanotechnology, or cybernetics. These are just some aspects of this exciting idea that is finally breaking through to the mainstream. It is becoming apparent that we may soon have the power to STOP AGING, to cure all diseases, and even to radically increase the power of our minds. Technology and science are forging a world that is bigger than any of us could have imagined a few years ago. This is a truly inspiring time for the human race. We are on the verge of an enormous transition.

There are those among us however, that believe that this power is a bad thing, that we cannot be trusted with such God-defying knowledge, that the bad will somehow outweigh the good. It’s true that as our creating power increases, as does the ease of mass destruction. It is a foregone conclusion therefore, that attitudes on a global scale must change.

The internet has inadvertently given rise to the biggest free exchange of ideas in the history of humanity. A series of stupid actions by our leaders, brought to our attention by our free market media, has caused us to lose faith in their authority. Religion fuelled violence and atrocities have tested our faith to the limits. Now, mankind is awakening. We are waking up to the stupidity of fighting and arguing. We are losing patience with intolerance. We are discovering the true potential of benevolent conscious life. We are realising our destiny.

As we wake up to the truth, the leaders no longer fool us with their lies, and the preachers no longer control us with guilt and false promises. Our minds open up to an endless world of possibilities, no longer held back by the dogmatic, dysfunctional society we currently live in.

When we realise something is possible, we can achieve it. Hurricane control, superhuman vision, an elevator into space, all these things are within our grasp. We have the potential to build ourselves powerful new indestructible bodies, to fly to distant galaxies, to eliminate death, to control nature. Even the power of the unmodified conscious mind is something we are only just beginning to see the potential of. Anyone who trains their mind right can help make these goals become real by seeing solutions that the average person cannot see, using their power to solve seemingly impossible problems, and turning visions that few could ever imagine into reality.

This training of your mind involves many things. However the most important requirement is the rejection of all external authority. Only when this is done can any more steps towards this evolved level be achieved. By seeing the world through religious or authoritarian eyes, every concept formed in your mind is corrupted by irrationality. This is for two reasons. The first being that religion is not based on reality so your fundamental concepts are fabricated. Secondly, all external authority prevents your mind from creating reality based concepts on its own. Only with reality as your foundation can this larger world be revealed to you.

From within this world of reason you can see the infinite possibilities of consciousness, and the true destiny of all conscious life in the universe: To control nature.

The technology of Transhumanism is about to make us as powerful as gods. Only if we transcend irrationality can we survive. Or perhaps Transhumanism itself will take us through this transition?

Maybe then, Peace, Prosperity, Freedom, Tolerance, Technology, Science, Art, Reason, Intelligence, Creativity, Immortality, and Rationality will eliminate Superstition, Bigotry, Politics, Religion, Stupidity, and Irrationality.
