We humans are ever evolving. It began with the big bang, then to the single celled micro-organism, to hanging from trees, onto what we are now. Of course, this is the Reader’s Digest version, but I think you get the point. For some reason there is the unconscious belief in the collective consciousness that evolution has coming to its final resting place in us humans. Other than becoming kinder and gentler animals with more technological toys to play with, this is as good as it gets!
What I would like to hear from you all is where you think we are headed? Have we peaked or is there more to look forward to? Please don’t give me some cookie cutter, canned new-agey response like, “to infinity” or to “heaven on earth” or to “unity in diversity” or some other thing you read from the shelves of your corner bookstore. What I would like to read, is what you “know” personally? What have you “experienced” personally? And where do you think or feel or intuit these experiences are taking or leading you?
Thank you for your responses! They are greatly appreciated!

I think that a part of the next stage in human evolution might involve a kind of ‘collective’ consciousness or intuition. I’m talking about the experience of knowing what is going on with another person or a group of people that one has come to know on a very intimate and deep level. I get this sense because occassionally me and others that I am very close to experience a kind of collective knowledge of each others’ state: the “I-know-that-you-know-that-I-know” state.
Another part of the next stage in human evolution that I am becoming aware of is a slowing down of the aging process. I experience it as a very minute and almost imperceptible experience that I could easily miss if I am not paying close attention. It’s a touch and go experience for me, but it can certainly be strengthened thru strong intention and consistent follow-thru.
I look back in my life and think about the times I think I felt evolution. Fear was always involved and a tremendous amount of anxiety. Then, a jump into the unknown. Afterwards, spontaneous decisions were made effortlessly improving life. I would think, “Did I just do that?” No, flow did. Sometimes I wonder why I am interested in facing my shit and evolving beyond it. It’s easy to see everyone around you and be complacent. Then, I look at you guys and see the amazing possibilities. Wow, life doesn’t have to be miserable! I’m still very inspired by your excellent example. Soon many more will be too.
