My endless search for Truth has led me along many paths and raised many questions. In the book, Creation, and my analysis of the Great Pyramid, I have raised the point that we humans are a very untypical life form on this Earth. Considering that all creatures of the wild basically look alike and act pretty much alike, human beings are in a class by themesleves What does the typical human look like?
In the article about the true meaning of the Great Pyramid is the idea that it symbolizes the Life Presence of the Earth at the time of the Lords' coming: that is, the complete array, from the tiniest microscopic form the the most complex and sophisticated organism. The shape of the Pyramid seems to replicate in a very general sense the number of species and the relative population of each. In other words, the smaller the creature, the more species there are, and each has a number of denizens proportional to the level of existence: microbes have the greatest number and variety of species, and the population of each is astronomical; higher organisms have fewer species and consequently lower populations. This leads to a fascinating idea of the true nature of life itself.
Beginning with the fundamental concept that energy is all there is, let us consider the infinite number of forms that energy assumes. In its basic form energy is boundless, unharnessed, and undirected: it's just there! The most dramatic way in which energy expresses itself is an explosion. One of the most familiar ways is what we call a detonation: a controlled explosion such as in an internal combustion engine. We might consider this latter expression as organized energy.
If we can agree on this point, we are ready to continue.
Life expresses itself through organisms, or bodies, and the infinite variety of bodies that creatures display also have certain sets of capabilities. Birds fly, fish breath under water, snakes have no arms and legs; dogs can articulate their limbs independently while horses cannot ( they must move both legs on either side together ); the variety is endless. And it can be asserted with conviction that organisms experience life. Thus, can we not conclude that organisms organize energy through their experiences and to the peak of their abilities?
There are four characteristics of life;
The ability to consume food and produce energy,
The ability to reproduce its own kind,
The ability to learn and grow, and
The ability to adapt to its surroundings.
And all of the above are experiences.
Carrying the point a step further, there is a behavioral characteristic that is evident in species according to their positions on the pyramid configuration: those at the low end tend to be more reactive that those higher up. More sophisticated animals demonstrate a greater capacity for volition, the moreso the higher up they are. An Amoeba ( one-celled animal ) will shrink from an electrical charge, or light;a startled animal will flee or strike out without bothering to determine whether the agent of surprise is a threat or just an interested passer-by. On the website, http://timeoftheend-faithanreason.net, is the true story of a cat I had about twenty years ago: Jose. This little animal, who never weighed more than three pounds, demonstrated such a sweet personality, and an intelligent curiosity far above what anyone would expect of a so-called dumb animal. Jose solved problems, played pranks, experimented, imitated me, and had such a lovable personality ( yes, a cat with a personality ) that everyone who knew him loved him completely. One has to ask; why does a cat bother to learn these higher ( volitional ) behaviors? Was he preparing to enter a higher state? Become human someday?
We might ask the reverse question; why do so many humans bear such striking caricature resemblances to lower animals? And why do these people also demonstrate the behaviors of these animals? People resemble apes, bears, cats, bloodhounds, tortoises - not actual resemblances but suggestive appearances. I am content to let the reader sort these matters out for him- or herself: but something is going on here.
There is nothing wrong with the idea that we evolved from lower animals; those who oppse the idea suffer from an obvious case of spiritual pride which says, "We are too good, too special for that to be true." Yet the history of mankind is a nearly unbroken record of organized violence covering some six-thousand years. Archaeologists probe for the origins of mankind and one of the things they look for is the first indications that man ( or proto-man ) used tools. And were these tools not weapons mostly? Certainly one of the first inventions was the adlala, a notched stick used to launch spears farther by extending the thrower's arm. From then to the present we have spared no resources in developing more horrific and efficient ways to kill each other, and that can lead only to one conclusion.
We are animals! The Lords wish( ed ) us to be better than that.
We weren't listening.
