Science if applied in accordance with the balanced systems of nature would not need to be abandoned, and could indeed be used as a lodestar to guide us those of us whom so desire, back into the Garden. What is now needed is for us to take a much slower and sustainable and saner approach to reaching life's ultimate goal(whatever that may be). It is my belief that we have come too far, too fast riding on the backs of these autonomous mechanical giants. We have been carried into a no mans land, lost, far from home, Separated from our mother earth. Feeling abandoned by the goddess, in accordance with our nature, we have begun to attach ourselves to the machine. In the process of the construction of a machine world, Human beings, as the image of the creator, had to develop a machine machine mind in order to relate to its own creations. This mechanical, maniacal mind has come to replace the pantheist, spirit centered mind that preceded it over the course of history. The universal dominance of the mechanistic scientific model within the mind of the human entity, is now emerged as the dominating force and is playing the role of GOD, and its a jealous God which demands that the old ways be forgotten, and all opposition be denounced, in the name of progress. Progress is this entity's illusion, as well as its Dogma and in order to accomplish this illusion of turning its dogma into truth, the Machine mind will ignore or in some cases violently attack, any contradictory intelligence which does not fit the mechanistic model.
Its easy in these discussions to make it into an" either or" debate, when it could just as well be a "both and". These are huge issues which I believe mankind needs time to grapple with before declaring progress to have been made on any front. Sure our technology, scientific endeavor and world economy is full of innovation and growth , but what good is all that if our spirits are empty and our bodies are enslaved to a mechanical apparatus. Let us set up our own models based upon the rediscovery of the science which operates within the Gaia spirit to develop life affirming technology which would allow for a more healthy integration of the accomplishments of machine mind back into a holistic and balanced view of earth.
I have a feeling the garden of Eden model was prematurely abandoned, in the madness and calamity that insured after the tree of knowledge event, and although there is no way to go back, there may at least be ways of bring forth a new vision of Eden that would give us a viable alternative to a future of virtual insanity.
As Raw paleo Dieters this is our endeavor, and our contribution to enhancing the scientific understanding of the world.
We need to stand firm and see ourselves in this experiment, as a control group by which the immature genetic pseudo sciences clumsy attempts at the engineering of life can be measured against. The proof may not come in the form of an accredited document published in some journal, but will be found in our own living being and the quality of life and health that manifest through us.
