Popular Post Sunmaster Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) So, the next question would be "Why would anyone want to reach state 4 and 5?". Why not just be content with the life we're used to live at state 3 (the Waking Sleep)? In the same way we judge our dreams at state 2 to be less real compared to when we awaken from sleep, waking up to state 4 brings the realization that that state is more real than the preceding one. It isn't a coincidence that the root of the word Buddha means "to awaken"...awaken from the illusion that state 3 is all there is. This is where we have a choice or free will; take the red pill and be willing to learn an unsettling or life-changing truth, or take the blue pill and remain content in the status quo, and well....ignorance. The answer is quite simple in my opinion. Striving for state 4 and 5 is an evolutionary imperative. It's the mystery that will forever attract mankind like moths to a flame. It's what makes us complete. And while we're on the topic of evolution...I think it's safe to say that we, as a species, are not at the pinnacle of our evolution. What if the next big step for humankind is the development of a new sense of perception? This sense is already latent in each one of us, but what if, with every new generation born, this sense gets more acute and gradually enables us to tap into state 4 and 5 at will? What is now attained by a small group of people and usually through years of practice, may one day be as commonplace as the ability read. Sure, it sounds like a science fiction story, but I kind of believe that it's not so far from the truth after all. What do you think?

Do you think God that created everything would consider humans more important than bacteria? Everything that was created on planet earth is essential for it to function, even viruses and bacteria. Humans have only existed for a cosmic blink, and if we keep going the way we are will be gone in another cosmic blink, to be replaced by some other species. God didn't just create a planet for us to live on, it is still evolving, tectonic plates moving over each other- volcanoes, floods, earth quakes etc. They kill lots of people too. Did not other species that humans exterminated have a right to live on earth too? What makes us so special, anyway? If we can't shape up and live right then our fate is on our own shoulders, not God's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
