So far as we’ve been taught, the further along humanity gets, the higher evolved we have become. But for all of Man's great artistic, scientific, intellectual accomplishments and technological advancements, we continue to go places and fuck shit up, burning, drilling, pulverizing, and blowing things to pieces, acting and thinking less like Man and more like semi-conscious apes in a suit.
Daily phenomenon takes on many ordinary forms where often the extraordinary is only visible to the trained mind’s eye. We require a new field of vision to perceive the imperceptible, be it through psychedelic enhancement, meditation, or some other learned endeavor; the mind will respond to such rigorous training, so long as it is a conscious one, revealing new paradigm shifts and higher multi-dimensional awakenings. According to the ancient Vedic literature, humanity’s story spans far into cycles of a very distant past. These cycles of life repeat, each time lowering in frequency from the previous state until the base of the lowest realm is apexed, then we begin the ascent back upward until a Golden Age is achieved once again. These processions have been recorded as being 24,000-26,000 year-long cycles. Even longer, more complex cycles have been described by the Maya. Many agree that we are currently in the lower realms of human consciousness, the Kali Yuga, and have been experiencing a de-evolution or Devolution. These time scales bring into question whether or not we ever evolved from apes in the first place. Hidden archaeological evidence presents this and other fascinating alternatives to humanity's origin, for example, that we once existed alongside a variety of humanoid species, from the hobbits of South East Asia, the elves of ancient Europe, to giant sized humanoids, Cro-magnon, Neanderthal, and Australopithecus. But scholars continue to uphold tradition and legacy by protecting previously accepted theories while ignoring vast amounts of critical evidence that daily continues to be unearthed and excavated. There is always higher knowledge out there to attain, maybe someday it will lend itself to a more immediate kind of evolution in consciousness.
