Consciousness can't go very far, do very much, without a body.
Bodies are required to live in dimensional realities.
Therefore, we have bodies, here on Earth.
Without consciousness, we are just pulsating,
extremely sophisticated and organized protoplasm.
With consciousness, we are "gods"... well...
perhaps as near to "gods" as our ancestors dreamt.
Today, with "technology" - in the fullest sense of that term - we can, and should transcend the gods, one person at a time... because it can't/won't happen everywhere all at once.
Today, "technology" includes all the thinking, feeling, and experience over millennia, that mankind can bring to bear on any question, any idea, any consideration that may spring to mind. And that includes all the "mystical/wisdom teachings" that have gone before, because it is clear the authors of many, if not most of the concepts one will find therein knew things modern men of their day, as well as our day, had absolutely NO CLUE whatsoever.
About our origins,
our destinies, and
"the work" in-between.
WE humans are semi-lifeless, semi-conscious organic lifeforms roaming this planet for food, sex, shelter and to some degree - since we are considered "higher mammals", like dogs, horses, elephants - social interaction, though without consciousness, that interaction amounts to little more than tolerating certain other's presence in one's midst, with regard to their suitability as food/fuel, and/or sexual partners, and/or additional places of shelter.
Consider: "god" did not create
Organic Life on Earth;
Laws did, Physics did.
"All Hail Physics!"
However, once organic life "exists", anywhere including here, evolutionary forces take over and after trillions and trillions of cellular interactions and iterations, "consciousness" takes a foothold, and after a few tens of thousands of years, "god" is created! Yippee!
Now, there is on planet Earth, a "first cause." Please realize (or argue, as is your wont) that "god" is merely a word that was created by MEN, as a conceptual contrivance to "explain" that which he does not and can not yet comprehend. It "calms" his internal confusion and suffering regarding "the unknown and unknowable." It is truly, if anything ever was, an Alien concept - through and through.
Later, when men evolved
neurophysiologically capable of attracting
consciousness to his neural shores, so to speak...
The Lighthouse was Ignited!
Get your motor* running,
head out on the highway*,
looking for advention* and
whatever comes our way*
Born to be Mindful,
Born to be Mindful.
*motor = higher ends of gray matter,
*highway = neural pathways,
*advention = adventure/invention,
*our way = Mindfulness in all things.
