We humans are so bright.
Maybe it is because of our bigger brain? Or maybe our bigger brain is here because we’ve got so bright? But beyond that chicken & egg clueless quest, we can at least notice that we are bright enough to have managed to go beyond our one-way perception of reality.
Through time, indeed we developed a kind of meta vision capacity that we can call “Meta consciousnessâ€. That enhanced consciousness allows us to compute a bigger vision of our world and get more perspective. Now, we can see how we fit with the surroundings, with others and with the cosmos. Quite spectacular indeed!
Imagine a river which would have managed to make a dam, harness the hydro electrical energy and redirect its flow. All that in order not to be solely bound to the downward current of its water… trying to go upstream we could say…?
On top of the ability to gain perspective, this “Meta consciousness†allowed us to share our point of view. We created the Verb – which is the conceptual framework- and the Languages – which are the ability to exchange through sounds then writings. All in all, for a jumpy animal, we managed to create for ourselves an extra CPU, a programming language and the internet. A serious jump indeed! ?
But somehow, it seems that this evolution jump took us by surprise! As a consequence, we are often stuck high above the trampoline of reality with quite a few bugs to fix …
And bugs there are: Compatibility problems, hanging, short-circuit, malware, overheating, etc. etc.
Or, to use a more human language:
Lost in translations, hanging to our projections, prejudice and narrow minds, blinding egocentricity, unsustainable behaviors etc. etc.
But since we were so, so bright and so, so, so clever, we did create an additional level: the Meta-Meta consciousness. A level of consciousness that can see how crazy we are ! ???
So it seems that we are quite fully equipped for now, aren’t we? Sure we could overcome those little shortcomings…
But, just like for the American army, being over equipped doesn’t always solve the problem.? We might want to concentrate a bit more on our managing skills !
That is exactly why our meta-meta consciousness created meditation tools!!!
Now to fix all those bugs, it might be the time to wake up our conscious warrior skills from the bush of our comfort zone …?
Hmm… but that’s a lot of work !
Yes, but does it make it less interesting? ?
Going up-stream our delusion,
We have many tools,
and many of us are on the way.
