Birds can fly. Fish, as well as some mammals, can swim under water. Many four-legged animals can run faster than we can. Others can climb trees better than we can. Yet... we all emerged from the same deep hydrothermal oceanic vents where, some 3.7 billion years ago, all life began. On Earth, that it. Elsewhere other lifeforms created our Earth, with water and soil and incredible beauty. Some species that the Bible referred to as Elohim, as gods. As beings with the same creative potential as we have.
And what did we do?
We, the beloved children of the Most High?
We made gadgets.
We spent our gods' given talents to make gadgets that reduce the need to develop our inner potential. Gadgets, that thanks to the perspicacity of the few, the rest of us, the overwhelming majority, could remain inept, lazy, obese, ignorant, and let the few amongst us to take care of our illusory needs.
And why are we so dismally stupid?
Ask Eve. She'd given Adam the apple... the apple that fostered the formation of ego. An ego that refuted the miracles all around Adam, and since, all around us. Apple, that symbolizes the birth of our ego that denies our true Self, our Higher Self, as the immortal aspect of our being.
The beginning of the end?
I wonder what happened to the Dinosaurs?
We can't make a tree, but we know how to destroy it. We don't even have the slightest idea how to create an egg, or a sperm which, by some inexplicable energies grow to become human beings. But we know how to kill each other.
We don't even know how to create a grain of mustard seed, to compare it with our faith in our potential. For last few million years we, the human species, remained robots to the few who chose to exploit us. Kings, queens, presidents, prime-ministers, scientists, experts in all fields, and others who insist of knowing almost everything about almost nothing. And this in spite of nature insisting that only a balance and diversity can sustain our life on Earth.
And all this because we refuse to be as humble as the rest of flora and fauna. For millions of years many species have prospered in spite of our greedy interference. We think that we know better than the intelligence that sustains all nature for countless millions of years.
Well, it is time to stop.
The U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity
concluded that
"Every day, up to 150 species are lost."
Unless we awaken during this Age of Aquarius, we might well be the next to go. We may be the last generation. We now appear to have a few among us with such rampant greed that planting diseases and destroying cures is not beyond their concept of make billions of dollars. What dollars? From the taxes of the many, of course. Taxes that they avoid paying.

Throughout our history, we had a Few magnificent men, who told us how to save our species. We had saints in all religions. Conscious life is an enormous privilege. Not many enjoy it. We are indeed the chosen ones. Yet only a few, very few of us became aware of it. We call them saviours, and saints and mystics, but we do not emulate them. We waste our potential in spite of their shining example.
We know that the phenomenal reality is illusory, yet until we make it intensely real for ourselves, it will not count in our becoming.
