Theory: Evolution of Soul



Description of the visual:

Each triangle represents one entity, here a soul.
Horizontal axis represents Time, vertical axis - Space.  

Letters represent individual 'souls'. 
Numbers represent levels of density of Time, or levels of existence.

The lower level shapes are fragmentations of the higher level shapes..

For example, imagine level 1 as a level of our existence with 7 human souls represented as individual letters.  As these souls evolve to a higher level, they become bigger and more complex, i.e. 2ABC triangle is a sum of A,B,C units and shares 'C' with 2CDE which in turn shares 'E' with 2EFG, and so on. In other words they become more in common.

On the top level all individual units become One.

ART vs DESIGN (thesis)


Most people of modern popular culture confuse Design with Art.

Both have different origins and purposes.

Design is born out of need to make things better, to improve or make them more comfortable in use (via first craftsmen). It has a local quality.

Art, on the other hand, is born out of need to communicate deeper meaning of existence (via 'accidental' shamans). Its purpose is to transcend the mundane perception of the world and it has a non-local quality.

Here's my thesis: 

The fundamental difference between Art and Design lies in the lack of spiritual mystery of the latter. 

I believe that the first artist was a shaman. Also, visual Art was created out of need to communicate something ‘unusual’ and long before people developed a fully comprehensive speech.
 
This is how I see it happened.

Imagine a person in the ancient world who accidentally experiences an altered state of consciousness through the use of psychoactive plants (i.e. try and error in discovering new foods). Suddenly he experiences a world that is very different from common reality. The experience is so dramatic that this person now wants to communicate it to other persons in his tribe. 
How can he do that? 
Pointing at the cause of it (the plant) is obviously not enough to communicate the inner experience. And so, this person takes a stick (or whatever) and starts drawing! He draws dots and lines that are similar to entoptic patterns caused by ingestion of psychoactive plants. Thus a new spiritual world has been introduced to the consciousness of early humans. And also it gave birth to Art.

Many people think that some form of Art pre-existed the discovery of psychedelics. In my opinion it is not so. And here’s why:

As we know, the difference between animals and homo sapiens lies in the degree of cognition of the outside world (consciousness). Terence McKenna’s theory of Stoned Ape postulates that the transition from ape man to a more conscious being was kick-started by accidental consumption of a psychedelic plant.
In other words, it provided an alternative (supernatural) reference to their mundane perception of reality.
My point is that without this second reference point Art couldn’t have existed. Of course, before the discovery of the 'supernatural' primitive people had made and used some kind of tools and instruments for survival. Craft predates Art.

I also contest that prior the discovery of alternative state of consciousness and the ‘supernatural’  no religious ideas could have been formed in the mind of a primitive man.  i.e. the perception of thunder and lightening was similar to how animals react to it - power, danger, run for life!
In fact, one needs that second reference point to form even superstition.

So, without early psychedelic experience there couldn't have been Art, a religious view or even an abstract thought.


...
If you see beauty in everything, you're a designer. A sunrise is beautiful, so are mountains, but it's not yet Art. It's a beautiful design (of nature). People can make beautiful things too, I call them designers. But Art is more than just about 'beautiful'. Art is about a beautiful mystery.

(Children can see a mystery. Most adults just see a beautiful thing.)

Brief history of art

Our process of cognition of any sort of reality consists of two main parts:

1. Imitation (study)
2. Manipulation (mastery)

What we call ‘evolution’ follows the same pattern.

BRIEF HISTORY OF ART

1. A shaman draws the first picture: imitation with spiritual (internal) point of reference.
Example: entoptic patterns of early paleolithic cave art, aboriginal art, etc.

2. Followed by imitation with physical (external) point of reference.
Example: realistic forms in classical art

3. Followed by manipulation with physical point of reference
Example: free forms, cubism, impressionism, expressionism, etc.

4. Followed by revived interest in imitation with spiritual point of reference
Example: psychedelic art, abstract, etc.

5. Followed by manipulation with spiritual point of reference
Example: kaos magick art, spiritually conceptual art, etc.

Evolution by trial and error is nonsense

Conventionally accepted definition and theory of evolution as 'trial and error' doesn't really make sense to me. Firstly, an 'error' is an arbitrary judgment (yesterday it was a mistake, today it's ok)... secondly, the nature never makes errors (only from a limited human perspective it may appear to do). The universe is governed by a set of precise laws. So is the nature and evolution. There's no space for error. Everything has its meaning.
I am arguing that nothing really is spontaneous. There's no chaos as such (only appearance of it due to failure to see the bigger pattern), the universe is not being 'pushed apart' (Big Bang explosion) but rather being 'pulled apart' towards a mysterious attractor. In other words, randomness is a convenient myth.

On Noosphere, Mental Mutation and 2012

The term Noosphere was coined by Vladimir Vernadsky in the beginning of last century. Basically, it can be described as a planetary mental layer.

The affect of human thought on the planetary whole system is a sign of the commencement of the next major evolutionary shift, from the biosphere to the noosphere.

Evolution of Earth as whole system consists of five major subsystems:

1. Lithosphere, from crystal-magma iron core and the various mantels, up to and including the tectonic plates and land masses.

2. Hydrosphere – the unified ocean as well as lakes and river systems.

3. Athmosphere – the electrodynamic systems and cycles that determine and control the weather patterns, incl. of ionosphere and the electromagnetic fields.

4. Biosphere –life as a unitary phenomenon, the vitalization of matter, incl. of the inorganic cycles and systems which support it.

5. Noosphere – the planetary thinking layer – largely a function of the most recent biological stratum of the biosphere, the human. It includes conscious human and a superconscious superhuman evolutionary phase, and involves artificial middle term known as the technosphere, which is itself concluded by the information sheathe known as cybersphere.

In short, Noosphere is a deeply woven collective dream.

Noosphere accommodates all the planetary intelligence, it has everything to do with the quality and nature of our thoughts, and not just individually but about ourselves as a species.

As living substance, the biosphere maintains its balance as a biomass constant consisting of the symmetry of two forms of life: autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophic – are those forms of living substance that are self sustaining, thriving on mineral, water, athmosphere and solar-cosmic radiation. – this is the green world, the plant kingdom in general, incl. the plankton and algae of the sea. Heterotrophs are the animals – from insects to humans – that live off other forms of life. Some heterotrophs are herbivores, some carnivores, some both. The point is that the biomass constant is maintained as an equilibrium of these two kinds of life.

The hypothesis of biosphere-noosphere transition: when in the process of the complexification of matter the biosphere reaches a point of maximum crisis – biochemical combustion – it mutates into a new condition, the noosphere.

As Noosphere refers to the planetarization of consciousness, a critical point in the transition to the noosphere is the consciousness of critical minority sufficient to engender, by their awareness and subsequent actions, the actual passage of the noosphere going from the individualized unconscious chaos of the technosphere to the incipient cosmic order of the noosphere as a conscious regulating mechanism.

Stages of Intelligent unfoldment in the Cosmic Evolution of Matter:

The tendency of matter is to develop in the direction of irreversible complexification and to ultimately evolve into the condition of cosmic consciousness. Within the planetary sphere the stages are:

1. Crystalization. Molecular compounds self-organized into strict sets of generally symmetrical/ geometrical form structures – cubes, octahedrons, hexagons… their combinations and clusters.

2. Vitalization. Stage where the complexification of matter experiences the capacity for autogenesis and self-replication. Engenders biospheric horizon.

3. Hominization. Stage where vitalized matter becomes vehicle of intelligence capable of sustaining consciousness. Engenders noosphere as unconscious planetary medium.

4. Superhominization. Stage where consciousness and intelligence attain planetarization or full noospheric consciousness and function.


The real cause of ‘Global Crisis’ and impending system shutdown:

Increasing solar (cosmic) radiation affects DNA structures of all living organisms on earth. What it means is that our reaction to the same events we had many times before is now radically different.

The advent of the noosphere is the mental mutation into a new cosmically generated holographic field fractal – one that will replace the current one.

All it would take for this to occur is a momentary break in the planetary electromagnetic field, i.e. polarshift on the earth or the sun’s polar magnetism (2012!?) In that momentary rapture of the terrestrial electromagnetic field, many negative conditioned beliefs (memories) could be erased or severily scrambled. A new operating holographic field fractal might be instantaneously set in place. Planetary upgrade will take place and a new wave of cosmic evolutionary intelligence would reveal itself. Because of their tendencies to endure and transcend, universally positive thought-forms would withstand the electromagnetic rapture to be retained in the fresh perceptual context or anticipation of something wondorous and new abou to unfold. The new collective hologram would seem like a fairy tale come true.

After that, there’s no coming back. Psychic totalisation and expansion of the mind into a field of universal telepathy would make wars and deception no longer be possible.

The Age of Total Frankness might be next.

I believe it's very possible that during the major universal alignment, coming on 21 December 2012, the critical process of human DNA change will be triggered by powerful cosmic radiation reflected by the sun. The human species would suddenly acquire a psychic boost and be forced to live in the new brave world of total brutal frankness.

Social and Environmental impacts of mass telepathy.

Manly P. Hall on the next step of evolution of human consciousness:

"If a man acquires a full ESP:

He no longer will be able to keep a secret.
Nothing would happen without everyone knowing the facts of the matter.
All promotion, all publicity, all propaganda will lose influence.
An individual can not and will not be deceived.
He cannot be exploited.
He cannot in any way be prevented from knowing the truth about how other people feel about him.
Nor can he prevent other people from knowing how he feels about them."

Manly P. Hall



We already know and can see how the extension of a single sensory perception can completely overwhelm the whole pattern of modern society, forcing it into entirely different direction!

With full ESP awakened in every single individual the world would not need lawyers, advertisers, bankers, insurance agents, police, army, salesmen and psychiatrists!
