Modern Homosapien

The word human is derived from the Latin word humanus, which is the adjective form

of the word homomeaning earthly being. The human body is an earthly organism. The

issue humanity faces today is the mechanization of the individual and the expansion of a

technocratic institution known as The West. The philosophies of the most arcane and

treasured contemplative traditions, reveal profound principles on the harmonious relationships

amongst humanity and nature, which seldom are upheld today in the secular world and in the

politically motivated mainstream religious sphere. The large portion of humanity drifted away

from such principles although such teachings are hidden in plain sight within the writings of the

great philosophers and mystics of this age. The religious institutions of Catholicism,

Brahmanism, and Islam cast aside their contemplative roots and engaged in religious warfare and

imperialism. What is the source of all this madness? The mind is fundamentally the origin of

conflict. If the mind is diseased then the family, society, and environment will spread its

sickness like a cancer. The disease is characterized by the confusion, disillusionment,

depression, and sociopathic-tendencies found within the mind of the individual. The wisest men

and women in history revealed a path to the eradication and transcendence of these afflictions.

The purpose of human life is the actualization of humanitys highest mental, physical, and

spiritual potential through the realization of enlightenment and it is only by this understanding of

oneself and of nature on a collective level that will save humanity from destroying itself. The

people of the modern era are disconnected from themselves, the wonders of nature, and the

spiritual wisdom of the ancient world. The society is engineered in a mechanistic fashion with

purely materialistic aims as collective goals. The philosophy of materialism, imperialism, the

disconnection from nature, and the mass confusion and conflict within the individual are

responsible for the environmental, social, political, and spiritual problems humanity faces today.

Within the mind exists the capacity to transcend the frailties of human nature, which

manifest in the form of greed, hatred, and delusion. Upon the exacerbation of such instinctual

qualities; the manifestation of violence and tyranny occur. Inhumane actions are only possible

through inhumane intentions. Sociopathic and evil intentions are housed in a troubled and often

abused personality. Inhumanity is defined by a characteristic sociopathic disregard for life and

an absolute lack of concern, or even an intention to inflict harm and destruction, on the welfare

of other people. Anything which inflicts unnecessary pain and suffering upon another individual

or nation is considered inhumane. If war is fought for the sake of protecting the homeland it is

still a tragedy because innocent lives will be lost. In the case of self-defense, people are justified

to take the life of their attacker if retaliation is the only way to survive such an altercation. In

war, blood is almost always shed for geopolitical, financial, or religious motives. War is totally

inhumane and can only be enacted by a sociopathic congress or state that is more concerned with

destabilizing various regions in order to exploit economic resources than with whatever

nonsensical lies are spread over the media. How crazy must these politicians be to say that

bombs will bring peace? Our world is run by inhumane people and sure Americans can say its

the people who choose! Sure and each time Americans choose they pick another corporate

prostitute, another sociopathic carpet bombing, drone striking, aggressor. Nonetheless,

humanness is defined by the totality of human experience. Humanness includes what may be

considered suffering, pain, depression, lust, anger, jealousy, hatred. At one point or another most

people will experience these emotional and psychological states. Humanness also encompasses

sublime and joyful qualities like happiness, peace and love. The extreme of negative qualities

leads to inhumanity because then such a person wants to annihilate the humanness and welfare of

others and violate natural order. Within people is an inherent quality of goodness. This can

easily be proved by observing children. If a child is not given love and attention during his/her

early years, then during the adolescent phase of development a wide variety of emotional issues

will be observable. Inherent goodness within people is also proven whenever children are raised

to be killers. At first a child will refuse to torture or strangle and animal to death. The child will

cry and vomit until he/she has been whipped and beaten enough to know that taking life is the

only way to avoid further pain. Inherently humans wish for life to flourish and prosper. When

natural order is violated through harming other people, engaging in the destruction of people and

nature, inhumanity turns its disfigured head. No other creature on Earth kills millions of its own

kind for territory. Only humans destroy the environment and move onto another lush oasis only

to turn it into a wasteland.

The positive side of humanness is defined by qualities such as peace, joy, and

companionship. The mystical side of humanness is experienced and embodied by qualities such

as omnipresence and a transcendence of the ordinary. Humanity has the capacity to experience

realities beyond time, space, and form. Humanity has Tao, the source and mother of all things,

as the foundation of consciousness itself. It is those exemplary individuals like Socrates, through

the guidance of his inner Daemon or Holy Guardian Angel, urged us to vanquish all knowledge

and question everything until even the perception of knowingness is determined. People like

Lao-Tzu and Buddha embodied the highest qualities of humanness such as universal love and

compassion, but all these sages taught that the highest virtues are attained by knowing oneself,

which meant directly knowing the non-duality of Tao or Nirvana. The source of confusion in

our world is rooted in imbalances and unnatural lifestyles, but most of all it comes from a sense

absent in Western culture (aside from the Mystery Schools of Greece & Pythagoras). How can

the individual improve him/herself if improving oneself in American society means improving

your circumstances? How can people know themselves if what a person is is defined entirely by

what they own? American culture is completely backwards thinking no wonder people are

walking around like soulless zombies in Wal-Mart. Tyler Durden in Fight Club said, We have

no great war, our war is a spiritual one. We have no great depression, our depression is our

lives. The only way out of this mess is to re-engineer the entire society towards a naturalistic,

holistic, and virtuous lifestyle.

Why do we need religion and science to tell us what the truth is? People dont know the

truth to be within themselves. People dont know that the acupuncture meridian system was

discovered (not invented) by a couple sages with extraordinary paranormal abilities. The

Buddha coined the term Rupa-Kalapa and stated that it disappeared and re-appeared a million

times in one second and was the foundation of all matter (Goenka). Lao-Tzu said Everything

comes from nothing, yet the Big bang theory wasnt expounded until the 20th

century (Kwon

56). People still have such capacity for discovering truth in matter and exercise such abilities

today, but what are we told in school? Were told that those people are fakes and charlatans and

that only religious nuts believe in such things. Were told that the mystical is just imaginary and

that the realities our ancestors spoke of for thousands of years were just bio-chemical

hallucinations. I know that there is a pathway to the truth and that the seed of the mother is

within every individual on this planet. If every person was taught how to nurture this seed then

peace would be prominent. Its been proven over and over in prisons and mental health

programs that yoga, meditation, and even a proper education totally transform people. Truth,

peace, and happiness are essential to humanity and the decline of such is in tandem with the

destruction of the environment and humanity itself.

Despite the negative commentary in this work, Id like to inform the reader that my views

on the direction of the human race are very positive. Society is definitely transforming and

although we dont have a revolution on our hands we do have a gradual awakening. Each

passing year fast food restaurants are losing money because more and more people are eating

organic. Each passing year more and more people begin to question the validity of the media

and authenticity of the American corporatocracy. A reawakened spirituality is also growing in

the West because terms like non-duality and mindfulness are now used in classrooms

whereas 30 years ago the only places youd find those terms were in books like I Am Thatby

Nisargadatta and Be Here Now by Ram Dass. Meditation is a super hot topic in neuroscience

because apparently meditation masters are considered the happiest people on planet earth.

Above anything else people are questioning more. People are questioning whether the dogmas

of reductionist materialism are authentic, or why the Catholic Church has a long history of

pedophilia issue with young males, or why the term Illuminati has become mainstream? What is

this all about? With the internet people are doing their own research and sharing their own

discoveries about the world. On this track more and more people will step out of zombie land

and into present time. The pinnacle of humanness is the realization of enlightenment and we are

on the road to building a culture which can support an environment of peace, community, and

internal and cultural development. It begins in small places like Googles Search Within

Yourself meditation program or the landmark neuroscience study on meditation; the

International Shamatha Project by B. Alan Wallace. It starts with alternative news stations like

Russia Today and Aljazeera who are ripped apart by mainstream media simply for digging a bit

deeper. Big brother is spreading his influence wide across the globes and into the very depths of

our collective consciousness, but hidden beyond the confines of time and subjectivity exists and

unlimited source of truth and goodness. It is this source which more and more people are getting

in touch with today. It is that sense of I Amness and the love which flows from it that will

save our world.
