The Tail of the Long Neuron

Neuronal lineage goes way, way back, millions of years or more, but has become perfected - up to a point - in our time, in our heads, in your head, and we should all be thankful. It allows us to think, talk, write, grow food, make tools, invent technology, build shopping malls, join social media groups, buy expensive computers, and run our options & futures trading desks out of our home... even profitably!

Just as the Big Bang is still banging (in the primary, more sublimely cosmic sense), the Human Species is still banging (in the secondary, more climactically orgasmic sense), and in both cases, all of that which went before is still contained in the "universe of right now", both the Big One, and the small one - you - that really started with mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosomal Adam.

That is, all of human history is contained in you, and you have potential "access" to all of it, but not the way you are now - somnambulistically thought-centric, mentally unfocussed, spiritually conflicted, and utterly confused about Humanity, yourself and everything else - but, it is still possible before you leave this planet the hard way, as a wisp of dust in the wind.

The 1400's are in you. The 400's are in you. The -1500's are in you. And all of Humanity has contributed to your life, in large and small ways that you can discover for yourself once your deep connection to your own DNA becomes Known. In fact, the long and winding Neuron propagated by Eve 'n Adam into the DNA intrinsic to your very existence today contains all human possibilities - so far - and you can tap into that, and find out How to Live profitably, if not even actually extend your life, instead of the ordinary wasteful manner that is expected in Humanity all throughout history, and generally leads to a shortened life.

Humanity is not expected to SUCCEED, because that would be counterproductive for Life, just as your liver cells are not expected to succeed in becoming fully-functional Neurons in your life time, and if that ever started happening - and a few of them escaped the liver (or any other "home organ"), and started becoming neuronal - you would instantly start dying rapidly.

(That would be a form of "transmutation" resulting in your becoming "godlike", and what would be the need of a body then? LIFE ON EARTH requires, and utilizes BODIES.)

When a Human is born onto this planet, the Neuronal Tail is lengthened just a little bit (and "Your Tale" is begun), and in that Neuronal cell body is all that went before. That Human is, in effect, a nano-version of all Humanity-the-species, contained in a tiny crib - awaiting environmental, and societal imprinting - and that Neuron, and its entire family - the Web of neurons - is all that matters, really, for Life, and for you. The entire body is designed to keep the TAIL (of many Tales) of Neuronal Lineage moving ever forward, so as to not suffer the double death (of the body, and your higher potential) that is built-into the machinery, so as to not pollute the entire genome in case one "little version" goes "horribly wrong".

Life is evolving on this planet through humans - through you, and me, and everyone else - but everyone is in their own local "school of life", wherein only a few of the "students" get to move up to the front of the class, and a few of them get to move onto the higher levels - to the 8th, 10th, 20th, 60th levels - and then they "graduate" (die? transmute? transcend? ascend?) up to the "Set of Successfully Evolved Human Neurons" in Life's Global Brain that IT apparently quite enjoys activating every day, in a Living Hangout with the Gang.

"Old man, how is it that you know these things?"

"Young man, how is it that you do not?"
