Restarting the Irregular Rant


It may be that I've written of this before. It may be I've just thought of this before. I know I have talked about this with some of my friends. Or at least thought about it in their presence. What I'm think-U-late'n about is the next step in human mental development.  In the not so distant past a great many of us "humans"( I use the word loosely) had the notionthat if they remembered somebody that was dead, saying or doing some thing, that this memory was in in reality a spirit in contact with them. Those distant Humans apparently didn't realize this was a memory lodged in their brains. One day, some of us got it, and made the mental jump that we were actually remembering those instances for ourselves.  My inclination is to believe that we are in the middle of, or at the beginning of the next big mental leap. Oh to be sure, we have had thinkers in the past like Kant, Jung, and Freud that have dusted the darkness off of our mental labyrinth, and there must be some person or people out there right now, out of my limited knowledge of the subject matter, working on this next great leap. This mental Leap, or maybe it should be called the neo-enlightenment or some such thing, is about a self realization of our thinking processes. For instance, I know a great many us humans don't differentiate between a hunger pain and a stub your tow pain. I know pain from your torso is unsettling( believe me I know ) and far different than that stub your tow pain, but when your just a little hungry or even after a day of fasting, it still isn't the same pain as, gall stones. But that won't register with lots of us humans and some portion of us eat even though we really don't need to. Another example, is greed, humanity as a whole seems to thinks that more of anything is equal to pleasure. So buying stuff is what they do to feel good, and to buy stuff you need money and then the acquisition of money is the thing you do to feel good. Any thing beyond fiscal stability, in my judgment, is greed. Again I think this is a false pleasure reading People that fall into this greed cycle are not delineating between buying power and true pleasure.  In the not so distant future I think more people than not will be able to discriminate between those sensations that are true and those that are false. There are many more mental misconceptions to be uncovered. I discover a few every month, in my self. And sometimes to change those thought processes it take an incredible effort, but it most always is for the better I know that there are people that have been communication on those ideas for quite awhile, but I would like to state, ever so cautiously, that humanity is at a tipping point and all you need to do is get out their and nudge it.  Ian
