Internet is our greatest step in evolution

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Internet is the most incredible tool that has been created by humanity since many of us stopped hunting and gathering and started cultivating our own food. It is obviously still in its infancy but let me tell you it’s thriving better than lettuce grown with hydroponics. People have always dreamt of, searched for, and believed in magic items like the Holy Grail, the lost Ark of the Covenant, the Fountain of Youth, and the sword Excalibur. They may exist or may be mythical. Either way, if only a few have experienced their power then how much did they really change the world? It’s debateable to be sure. The incredible fact that we must now grasp is that we’ve unwittingly become the keepers of a tool that already has and will keep on evolving our collective human society. It’s not imagined, and it may just be so simple and special that its relative importance has slipped unnoticed, right under our noses.
 
The Internet is a key to human happiness, a door to knowledge, a window to freedom, and a pencil to write you into the story of the world. It is like a giant cauldron of wisdom, experience, thought, and emotion mixed together by the spirits of billions of our brothers and sisters. It is a book written in numerous tongues sharing the research, training, and intense practice of every person’s individual life for the collective to learn from. It will become our place to connect with others socially, our workplace, our means to entertainment, our library, and our personal diary. The outside world will still be there but the main way we interact with it will be through this powerful portal. Don’t worry; sitting in a forest sharing information with colleagues on the other side of the globe will be more close at hand than ever before. It’s through the sharing of ideas on the Internet that the forests will still be there at all. It is the ultimate extension of human consciousness. Through connecting our thoughts with each other, the world we wish to create will be born.

Some would say that I am sounding I slight bit idealistic, maybe even a little utopian in my calculations. You’re right I am. I have faith in every person that gets out of bed in the morning and who goes to work for the betterment of our species. I believe that we can do anything that we desire. Our minds are deeper and more unexplored than outer space. Look at what we’ve achieved with what little understanding we’ve attained thus far. Oh, there’s bad in the world. Negativity has over-ripened into a black banana of News’ focus and TV hype. That’s the balance of the Universe my friends. It is totally necessary to go through these stages of paradoxical imbalance if we are to learn and achieve as much as we can. Learning from our mistakes has always been the hardest but most thorough way to reaching our desired goals in life.

If our evolutionary process takes one step backward after every two steps forwards you have to realise that we are on our way down the path of enlightenment. If we showed the humans of a millennium ago that we had a tool that let doctors share vital knowledge with fellow healers from a completely different culture in a foreign land in a matter of seconds via video and sound, they would have either had a heart attack or at least soiled their pants. We are coming together as a complete and unified human tribe. Oh, there are still wars, racial and religious persecution, starvation and unequal wealth distribution. This is just the tip of the iceberg of learning. Globally, things are better than they’ve ever been, and gradually less and less are going to live in poverty, ill health, or oppression. You can see it’s happening, just push aside the blinders that strange scaremongers have stuck in front of our eyes for whatever uncalled for prerogative they’ve mistakenly undertaken.

Why do I believe so strongly in our collective evolution of consciousness, knowledge, and wisdom? We people are like trees more than we would ever hope to comprehend. The more we understand and share our experiences of life, the more we grow our species’ branches upward towards the sky of happiness, our roots deep down into the earth of love, and the thicker and stronger our trunk gets so that we will never fall down and disappear, not even after we’ve died. Like an ancient petrified hollowed-out log our legacy will live on. I’m sure we will even find a way to share our gained insight with other cultures, societies, and civilisations long after our planet and solar system have disappeared. I mean, what’s the use in creating a peaceful life for just our own family? We’ve got to start thinking ‘big’ people. The Universal neighbourhood needs our positive input, and we’re on our way to making it happen.

There is some ‘crap’ on the Internet now. It’s obvious, isn’t it? But look at the first airplane back in the Wright brothers’ era. Then look at the jumbo airbuses in the sky today. The crap will wash away like a pig in a bathtub. We will create the Internet that’s destined to be a place where you can learn about anything and everything that comes to your mind. The whole Universe will be at our fingertips. You want to know about how long the Sun will live? Type ‘Length of life of Sun’ into your search engine and the answer to your question will stare you in the face. Want to know what the lump is under your armpit? Type in (or speak if you don’t have the means to type, the technology exists-we made it) ‘Armpit lumps’ and answers will arrive, plus means to solving the issue of how to get rid of the lump. For any thought or query we will find answers, ideas, and beliefs on the subject made by informed members of our global community. This is just the beginning. Plug in, get on-line, and both sharing your ideas and opinions, as well as accessing our collective pool of knowledge will one day go from being third nature, to second nature, to simply our ‘nature’.
