To call this technological progress evolution is to bury one’s head in the sand – or stick one’s head in the clouds – and deny the extent of malice and sorrow on the planet. Although it is hard to see anthropology as a precise science, the evidence of the intelligence levels of so-called ‘stone-age’ tribes found in the last centuries clearly indicate they were mentally capable, given suitable training, of being able to fly a jet plane, or use a computer. This intelligence in the human brain has resulted in enormous technological advances over the centuries, with the information and communication revolution of the last 50 years being amongst the most spectacular. These developments now make available to modern humans a global view of the human species and the Human Condition that supersedes the narrow tribal, ethnic, traditional, and limited territorial view of the past centuries. The time is now appropriate and perfect for humans individually to devote themselves not to fighting for survival but to becoming happy and harmless – free of the survival instincts of fear, aggression, nurture and desire. The ancient evolutionary change that apparently resulted in the formation of the neo-cortex addition to the original primitive brain in homo-sapiens has now played its course. We have now reached the stage where technological advances have made the survival instinct, located in the amygdala or primitive brain, not only redundant but an out and out danger to the very survival of the species. The next evolutionary step is the enforced redundancy of the amygdala and its survival programming – an actual freedom from instinctual fear and aggression. Actual Freedom is the method to bring about that next evolutionary change. Freedom from the Human Condition – Happy and Harmless © The Actual Freedom Trust |
