Physicist Amit Goswami believes that the future of evolution will involve huge quantum leaps from negative to positive emotions. Just so that humanity thrives
The next step of our evolution is on hold, because the limbic brain has developed the instinctual circuits of negative emotions, and we have not learned how to deal with that.
We have to change the vital fields correlated with the limbic brain once again, to develop additional instincts of positive emotion. Instincts that will guide the behavior of humanity en masse.
Here is the key to getting humanity unstuck.
We each go on striving for quantum leaps to the supramental response to emotion, but we use the occasion of the leaps not only in the journey of own transformation, but also in the journey of evolution for humanity.We have gone this route before — trying to develop positive emotions en masse, although never as instincts.
Buddha tried it with great success during his lifetime. As soon as he passed away, however, the non-violence movement ended, and violence came back in a hurry.
likewise, following Jesus’ teachings, the early Christians tried to establish love as the reigning emotion en masse. They got nowhere as a religion until they co-opted the violent ways of the Roman Empire for spreading their teachings. In spirituality, the means and the end cannot be contradictory and Christianity has never recovered from this misalliance with empire.
Can we heed the lessons of a new evolutionary paradigm of science when we did not heed the lessons of Buddha and JesusIJ We do gain one advantage by going it the scientific way: We have a better understanding of the underlying dynamics.
There is no need to institute a religion; the role of any religion, even a scientific one, is limited in this day and age. There is no need to co-opt any government to spread this science either. Instead, the evolutionary movement of consciousness will spread among active participants but outside the purview of the powers that be-unseen, almost unknown.
My vision for our evolutionary future is this... let those who can, take quantum leaps from negative to positive emotions with evolutionary intentions. let those who can, live increasingly with positive emotions, making new brain circuits and changing the associated morphogenetic fields. let those who can, spread positive emotions through relationships. We will be few at first, but our numbers will grow. Especially as we create new institutions that facilitate this journey for others.
Around us, the world will go on, for a while yet, in its violent ways: terrorism, violent reactions to terrorism, opportunistic curbing of democracy, greedy economics, proselytising in the name of religion, destruction of our ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the modified morphogenetic fields we have created through our personal journeys will be available for future generations to draw upon through reincarnation. More and more babies, though born to violent parents, will have positive emotional brain circuits.
One day the making of positive emotional brain circuits will be canalised. Eventually, genetic assimilation will take place.
How long will this takeIJ Not long. We are drawing on powerful processes: the evolutionary movement of consciousness, synchronicity.
Most importantly, we are drawing on the lives of our countless ancestors, who have already prepared the morphogenetic fields for the changes that only we, reincarnating them now, can make.
