EP28 Metamorphosis of a Civilisation?
I heard Daniel Schmachtenberger talk about the idea of our currently global society going through a metamorphosis. So, I decided to see how far I could take the metaphor.We start by looking at the stages of the maturation of a caterpillar, and then at its metamorphosis into a butterfly, focusing on what drives it. Then, we quickly look at the stages of the empires, recapitulating that we are now at a the final stage of one. We look at what is different about the fall of the current empire, as compared to the previous ones. Then, we search for possible indications suggesting that we may be at a stage that is mature enough to transform into something new and we look for the driver of it.In the caterpillar the juvenile hormone keeps its butterfly potential asleep until metamorphosis. Is there an unrealised potential that is being kept asleep in humans? If so, what is keeping it asleep? What prevents us from awakening?We briefly mention the problems that religions have faced when trying to instill virtues (as we have already looked at them in previous episodes in greater detail). And, not surprisingly, we offer the idea that a key issue that delays the awakening process is related to misidentification.We propose that once mainstream science advances past the materialist assumption it may not only provide us with new technologies and greater insights into the cosmos but into who we are and better align our identification process.We also talk about how current technology has the potential of being assembled into a system that may address past issues that lead empires to collapse.
