The Birth of Conscious Evolution or Wooly Mammoth Again?

Some Scientists believe that humans are evolving at an accelerated rate (duh…). Up until now the standard belief was that we haven’t genetically mutated or evolved in the last 50,000 years.

How arrogant is that?

When I think about our conscious evolution and the realization that what we think and feel actually creates our existence then it completely validates that Eve was our first conscious thinker.

I can just imagine that it went something like this (about 50,000 years ago); Adam’s out hunting with the guys, gone for days to ‘who knows where’ while Eve and the girls are tending the fire, gathering berries and keeping the wee ones from wandering too far from the new cave the clan has just laid claim to. While on their berry gathering outing Eve discovers a new fruit hanging from an unfamiliar tree. It’s sweet and crunchy and delicious and she carries an armload back to the new digs.

So the ladies and children are snacking on the red delicious fruit when the boys bring home the bacon. Then quite uncharacteristically Eve exclaims, “I can’t believe it. Wooly Mammoth again. Don’t you know that Mammoth meat goes right to my hips?” All of the cave ladies dropped their jaws and nodded in amazement. They suddenly realized that what she said was true. They just hadn’t been aware of it before Eve gave voice to her new understanding that said Mammoth meat was making her fat. Adam’s response was, “Huh?”

There it is, as plain as Eve’s hips. Self awareness, the recognition of cause and effect. The knowing of what we want and what we don’t want.

The Leading Edge of Consciousness

So the first humans to experience the awareness of themselves then taught awareness to others and mated with other more aware homo sapiens so the awareness gene began to migrate and expand.

Let’s take it a step further than genetics. Each generation is born from the previous leading edge of collective consciousness. Therefore, (stay with me here, this is fun), if the clan is beginning to experience say, drought in the region and find they need to move on to find food and water and more Wooly Mammoths, some of the clan (probably the women) may think to gather some of their favorite fruits and delicacies. As they travel, the seeds from their harvest fall to the ground and eventually grow into a living trail of their journey. The children born along that route come from this new leading edge of consciousness. The consciousness that is now aware of the need to carry their sustenance with them when they have to move. Only now some of them recognize (probably the women) that they can carry lots of seeds from their favorite foods and plant them all around the new cave.  This was not only practical but also happened to birth the first neighborhood beautification project (definitely the women).

Now the next generation born on this leading edge of consciousness grows up surrounded by their favorite foods planted all around them.  What used to take a full day to gather sustenance for the evening meal may now only take half of a day. Free-time is born! Free time allows us to take a break from survival and turn our attention toward things that interest us.  The next leading edge of consciousness has the time to ponder and experiment and develop a tool (probably one of the men) to more efficiently kill the dwindling Wooly Mammoths.

This generation has more food, dad’s not traveling so much because they can kill the Wooly Mammoth so much more efficiently and can have a little free time to himself now to create more children. As more children are being born at this time then the broader the leading edge of collective consciousness expands. Are you beginning to get the picture?

You don’t have to believe anything I say here of course. I’m not a scientist, I’m not an ordained minister trained in theosophy. I’m not a psychic, a channeler of a non-physical personality or even an astrologer. I’m just a student of life. A student of what makes me feel good and empowered and what makes me feel bad and powerless. I’m just connecting the dots of our conscious evolution on a personal scale.

Before Eve connected the dots between the Mammoth meat and her hips getting bigger, she simply had the experience of eating said tiger and broadening hips. The delicious magic apple gave her the gift (or curse as some would have us believe) of self awareness. Now she was having the experience of eating Mammoth meat and broadening hips while consciously witnessing the phenomenon. As her awareness deepened she evolved to a point where she could have the experience, be aware of the experience and offer feedback of the experience all at the same time! Now Eve, and eventually Adam not only had sensations of pleasure or pain they had a whole new awareness of conscious choices and contrasts in their world. Now they had discernment and preferences and knowledge of choice. Thus opinions were born.

And now you understand how we got to where we are today! Need I say more?

What’s your opinion?
