INTRODUCTION

A small book to discuss questions about the world, it’s conceptions of GOD and human’s origin in a determined universe.

You are part of a scheme of meaning, free to choose, even if the mind is constrain by the brain. If you are not in charge, who’s in charge? Your human life is your on-going project. ENJOY IT.

You are living in a most interesting time, with the need to transcend society’s self-centeredness to fully awake your consciousness. Why the need to create a world in chaos before creating a new mindset? Where there is no vision, do people perish? Why are the current paradigms in science excluding consideration of the non-physical and the spiritual?

Why do scientists subscribe to the idea that this universe is a purposeless accident? Are humans spiritual beings evolving through temporary bodies? Is the distance between human and the divine much greater than the distance between beasts and human? Are there reasons why this gap cannot be close? The gap needs a personal transformation to rediscover the meaning of love.

WHERE THERE IS SADNESS,SOW JOY...

WHERE THERE IS HATRED, SOW LOVE...

A SMALL BOOK FOR A NEW MINDSET

1 CREATION

Creation would not have come without a reason; it was a service, constrained by a necessity. Do not read evolution as something to be feared. There is no before or after to creation, your universe will pass but creation it is never over.

Quantum physics present you with truths about the Universe: matter is inscrutable.

Matter is not solid, not inert and not impenetrable. Physics, which has no place for consciousness, must understand the brain and accommodate the mental. Consciousness was present at the origin of your universe and is an indispensable part of the evolution.

Consciousness is present at the level of particle physics. The belief that the spirit is inside the brain, inside the skull, is a cultural delusion.

How can consciousness arise from the material world?

The content of consciousness cannot be reduced to a property of matter. The soul is not in the body, it is the body that is in the soul. You have to unlearn what you thought. Plants and animals species are information processing entities; it would be fruitful to regard them as having some intelligence…

Humans are not animals, but there are easy to indoctrinate. Evolution includes the thoughts of religions. Religions are placebo adaptations, their adaptiveness arise because they have many false beliefs. You should not dance to their music. No one sins with full knowledge. What is special about humans is there attention to what is good and beautiful and a dislike to what is bad an ugly. But they have become too accepting of the view that humans bear the indelible stamp of low origin.

Miopia is evident in the oft-cited fact that humans share 97% of there genes with apes or the nonsense about being alone in the Universes with 200 billions galaxies, or the false belief in nothingness after death. It is a false belief to deny the uniqueness of humans on the ground of its origin.

2 EVOLUTION

Reject the dogma of genetic determinism. Genes are influence by your behaviour; know the self. God does not ordain events in the history of nature. Admitting God is a scientific hypothesis as any other scientific hypothesis. Darwinism denies belief in mind, selfhood, ethic and meaning. You must challenge the idea of random mutation that lies at the heart of Darwinism.

Though is creative, the soul is but cannot be found. Science is not the sole criteria of truth. Non-being is prior to being.

Evolution involves a direction; an inherent tendency to complexification. But the diversity of possible itineraries demonstrates that no finale can be specified. Results cannot be predicted even if selection is constrained. There are a finite number of viable avenues.

Some will say that humans are an accident, the fruit of chance and randomness. Living cells, let alone a human, could not arise by chance where the universe not pregnant with it. Creationists believe that the designer is God. The designer is a very, very big version of you. Cooperation is the basic of evolution, not self-interest. Life cannot be understood by atomistic thinking.

In a colony of ants, the central control unit cannot be localized. There mutual relation produces an emergent entity. That mode of thinking demands a new way of thinking; living system that knows the state of the whole. There are different hierarchic levels of cognition depending upon the complexity of the living organism.

Human consciousness makes possible the emergence of ideas that are outside your world.

Spirit is the prehistory of matter, thus perception include subjective data from the world of the psychic. All lives on earth are dependant; humans are the most dependant.

Cooperation is to be prioritized for humans are very dependent on ecosystems of organisms, plants and animals, down to prokaryotes.

Whenever one member of a species learns a new behaviour, the causative field for this species is change. If the behaviour is prepares for a long time, by its members, its morphic resonance affects the entire species. There is no exalted purpose behind human life. The life itself is the purpose until the created become the creator. Evolution is a extremely slow process for only perfection becomes the material on which universes are made.

Each one is related to each other. Nothing happens in one universe that does not affect the others… The process of evolution is highly dependant upon the cooperation tendencies inherent in all life. It is important for your future that you keep the faith. Faith 6

is creative, fulfilling, it draw from your soul all the ingredients, impulses, intuitions, dreams and motivations necessary for the ego. Having no faith is a destructive force ; it inhibits the creative mind, it stagnates the emotions and kills hope.

You have put yourselves in a position where your consciousness must become aware of your probable future. It is urgent, humans must be aware of the changes you want to make and alter the present to get the future you desirer.

Intuition plays a major part in psychic development. Meditation and prayers will help the intuitive development.

Scientifics write about heredity; where is the psychic blue print, the memory of our past lives, the character at birth, the collection of feelings, special interests, skills and fears, attractions and repulsions? You have soul evolution with reincarnation; for the soul will seek to create conditions to learn its lessons and gain self-mastery by being attracted to an environment that will give the needed lessons.

3 GENETIC CHANGES

Genetic changes are not able to chance a reptile into a mammal or a fish into an amphibian. Language requires an extra dimension. Evolution consists in the emergence of new levels to increase complexity and novel forms of causality.

Each level of life as its own logic, feedback cycles, flow of causes and rules. Nothing is there by chance. Do not accept randomness or natural selection without proof; it is as vacuous as the creationist claim that God did it. Evolution involves the reutilization of materials to create complexity, fitness and adaptation.

Natural selection is not sufficient to understand evolution, it explain the evolution of a trait, but not the existence of those traits. All novelty must arise from mutation since that which can be selected is very restricted.

Cultural selection can be more powerful than biological selection. Evolution will always be in need of interpretation. Evolution involves direction, structure and randomness. The notion that humans can live with morality without consequences is misguided and dangerous.

It is morality that distinguishes humans from animals. Members of a group, possessing a high degree of courage, sympathy and ready to give aid to others will be victorious. This is a natural selection; a key element in the evolutionary mechanism.

7

Claims for the primacy of the gene have distorted biology. The gene is a follower, not a leader. It is not autonomous, it is context dependent; it as meaning only within the system as a whole. A body cannot be atomized, decomposed into traits that natural selection then select. Genes are polyphonic and polygenic.

4 HUMANS ARE NOT ANIMALS

Materialist presumes the soul is inside the body. Since they cannot find it, they deny it existence. Multilevel selection needed to explain the origin of organisms.

Natural selection is itself not the cause of evolution but an effect. Life is a mixture of self preservation, altruism and self-transcendence. If selfishness was a primary ingredient of evolution, survival would not survive. You are the product of reciprocity.

There are more then 200 billions galaxies. This one became a home for self-conscious humans about 4 millions years ago. Humans are the result of a plan, a very long process of trial and errors; successful species adapting to their environment. Only 6% of all created species are still on earth. All animals share a common tool kit of master genes that govern the formation of bodies. The high complexity of a living cell makes chance-driven evolution impossible.

Even if humans and apes share 98% of all genes, the 2% difference translate in more than 340 millions base pairs of different DNA sequences. The two are unrelated. Humans are different species. Even if you share 96% of all genes with a mouse chromosome, there are enormous differences.

Incremental selection plays a very small part. There are no incremental linkages, continuity, between animals and human. You are a class of your own with reasoning power, freedom, emotions, in a world of your imagination, perception and intuitions.

You must reject and fight the idea of continuity from beast to human. Many characters differentiate human’s forms from animal: brain structure and size, limb length, cranial size and shape, thorax shape, small teeth, long gestation periods, reduce body hairs shape spine, pelvis dimension and motor skills, etc.

Spiritual humans are conceived to speak to God. This is a powerful asset, a real privilege to use with free will.

5 SPACE

Some scientists insist that there are no designs behind human’s emergence. They are playing a negative role in world conditions. The creator is within you. Evolution does not only march from the part to the present, the desired states of the future alter the present.

Evolution is an extremely slow process for perfection to be made.

Science, seeking the truth, must create an ethic, for knowledge doesn’t make morals; intelligence alone cannot give perspectives and help solve your world problems.

The principle of a precaution must apply. There is design behind human’s emergence.

There is much, much, much more to the universe than meets the eye.

Equations drive the interactions from particles to galaxies; they have beautiful attributes: universality, simplicity, inevitability and effectiveness. Many invisible forces underlie your evolution. These forces are harmony, efficiency, consistency, causality, creativity, rationality, equivalence and symmetry.

Empty space is far from been empty. Each universe follows laws, patterns, rules and principles. Each remains forever separated since no material information can travel faster than light. Your universe is one of many. To travel you must adjust your consciousness for other intelligences are alive within this solar system.

No religion or actual science comes close to even approaching a conceptual framework that could explain the dimensions of the multiples universes. Each atom possesses a consciousness. Religions with heavy theoretical structure will pass; fiction to be replace by new knowledge for a new paradigm.

6 DARWIN

Why does 20 000 bees behaves as a unitary whole? Properties are within the organism, a holistic behaviour emerging from the limited behaviour of its parts. The brain of a bee operates with a memory of 6 days, the hive as a whole as a memory of 3 months.

Where is the architecture of memory in the hive mind? Where are the different functions of the collective brain? Where are the collective controls? No one is in control but there is a multitude of simultaneous and interdependent actions.

Your theory of evolution must explain and unify why there are 70 separate chemical reactions in photosynthesis; this doesn’t happen by chance or by natural selection.

Complex species are not formed by numerous slight modifications. Natural selection doesn’t produce feelings, emotions, intuitions, empathy and morality.

9

Darwin cannot explain cosmology or the 9 millions species by a cumulative process of selection. Natural selection doesn’t explain the origin of life, the big gaps between animals and man or woman.

Your theory of evolution must explain and unify the meaning and the purpose of life, in space-time, its causes and effects, its mechanisms and physical laws. Integrates humans cannot come about through blind indirect laws.

Humans are not the focus of creation. The world doesn’t exist just for you. You are players in a big story, creating possibilities for spirits to incarnate. Each species is an art form; a Chihuahua is not a Dane, not a Labrador not a Bull Terrier or a Pekinese. They don’t come from the same pond.

Similar, even if dogs, chickens and humans have embryos that look similar, they don’t descend from the same common ancestors. Do not reduce life to biology, chemistry and psychics. Chemistry will never give the essence of life. The key to the evolution of life is in the understanding of the creative power of your collective spirit. Don’t focus on one mechanism to explain evolution. Where the end of species meets the subspecies don’t interbreed.

Time did not develop the eyes. Complexity has a very complex explanation. Not chance, not natural selection, or God. To think of God as the explanation is not a good thesis.

There are too many imperfections in this world, to many genetic mistakes; the giant reptiles, the dinosaurs, the 10 meters sea-lion and the 15 tonnes Pliosaur.

As Charles Darwin said; “it is not the strongest of the species that survives. Nor the most intelligent, it is the one that is the most able to change. The highest possible stage in moral culture is when you recognize that you ought to control your thoughts.” A belief in God has an adaptive utility and must be examined by the scientific method.

The presumption that an affiliation with one of the myriad of religions organizations is beneficial must be verified.

Humans are not apes and not fallen angels. This specie as a vastly underappreciated capacity for cooperation. Scientists must seek an explanation for the remarkable factor of your existence.

Human minds create and sustain religious beliefs to offer comfort in the harsh world you have created; it may be used for good or for evil. Religious belief offer sets of rules but it don’t eliminate your need for serious thoughts.

Some say that if it weren’t for religion, you would be immoral and unethical. We refute this. Your brain is ethical by design. Humans use religion to be part of an in-group; it is easier not to think, to follow authority and to be a mental slave. There is much less mental effort than making one’s own decisions.

10

C. Darwin was not a atheist as he is portrayed to be. In this 1876 autobiography he admits the impossibility of conceiving this universe, including man, as the result of chance or necessity. He said “I feel compelled to look to a first cause having an intelligent mind and deserve to be called a theist.”

7 HUMANS

With no sex between the species, explain the mixing of the genome or the creation of new organisms? The apes have a brain of 400CC, a human of 1400CC. Are humans that close to apes? How can high brain power come from very low brain power? How did you create bimetallism or the ability to speak? Where does your consciousness come from?

The Big-Bang requires 15 cosmological constants; where did they come from? What fixed them with no latitude to be different? Humans are unfinished project with limited religions, sciences and ethics. Extinction of species serves the creative process. At time of great stress, genetic mutation will increase to create complex human.

Plants and animals are information processing entities, intelligent and adaptive into their niche. One cannot understand life without making sense of eco-systemic life. Each species is woven in a supporting community. It is not survival of the fittest, but survival of the sharers. Morality must be for mutual cooperation. In your ethic there should be respect for ecosystems. You are the keeper of the garden.

Evolution requires reincarnation for each to participate in the evolution of reality with more holistic information from many varied universes. There is no God manipulating micro-events to produce macro-events. No God’s will. All religions can be dismissed as not referring to any realities. God will fulfill their egocentric desirers.

Is evolution without purpose? What kind of theories can put wings on dinosaurs to make them birds? Micro-men are powerless to explain the big story; the rise of life from matter to mind; not a trivial detail. Your universe as an explanation outside it-self, outside scientific inquiries.

Your universe is one component of far grander, hidden reality. Consider a variety of parallel universes; each part of a larger whole, separated by space and time. Each reality hidden from all others; a vast collection of universes in which every possible furl is realised.

The cosmos is infinite, but no location is special. Earth is 93 millions miles from your sun in order for you to have water. This reveals an in-built bias, not a lucky coincidence.

8 HUMAN CULTURE

Human culture holds no accepted view of human nature; the development of a consensus is essential. Is this universe were just about your species, it would be a waste of matter and space.

What is well-being? Well-being is spiritual, mental and physical. Spiritual is about faith; faith is inspiration, faith gives certainty, trust. Faith is the intuition that God can be an experience within you.

Faith is a strong conviction that humans are a work in progress and that the only fear are those in your mind. Spirituality is about love; absorbing and giving love. Spirituality is about hope; an ability to imagine a positive future for humans. Spirituality is about the belief in the efficacy of meditation and prayers. Spirituality is about joy; it enlarges the self and others to create social bonding. Spirituality is about forgiveness; spirituality is about compassion; the desire to help, to care for unrelated others as for the self. And spirituality is about illumination; a sense of infinity, to feel connected to the universe.

Mental well-being is about the development of positive emotions, your engagement and its meaning, your social relationships and accomplishments. Physical well-being is about regular exercise, intake of quality nutrition, enough sleep, quality health care, balance time between meaningful work and pleasurable activities.

The human quest for material security will never satisfy you. You must answer what make you human? Spirituality is about cleaning the layers of illusions to perceive greater realities. Why are you here, having a physical, mental and emotional experience?
