Living beyond the forces of life, nature and existence

As much as human existence has been considered, the entire crux of our living, moving, working and in fact the entire reason why we do the things we do is because of the natural instinct to survive, to move beyond circumstances and to do so alive. It’s been identified that the primary means of survival for any known specie living in an environment that is by no means friendly to its existence is adaptation. Change, is as we say the only constant in existence. The forces of life and nature are in no way subject to our control hence if we can’t control the wind, we adjust our sails. Life as we know it has no indices for the predetermination of the outcome of things, moments, events and time periods hence we are cautioned to be ready for all that comes our way and to adapt to it. Hence, our existence and in fact our survival is rendered to the determination of the natural forces around us. All we do is respond to the hostile advances of nature. Nature certainly does not want us here but we certainly wish to prove that we’ve come to stay albeit to our own detriment.
All we do is react and adapt but what if we could act first?
Of every object in existence, the human mind has so far (save the mind of the creator) proven to be the most intelligent of all of nature’s mental gimmicks. Hence, while nature and every other object of creation merely follows a predetermined course or instinctively adjusts to prevailing conditions, the human mind is able to take into consideration some viable options available, determine the probability for the success of each as well as choose the most probable option for implementation. This therefore gives the human species the ability to adapt to circumstances quicker and more precisely than any other being in the known universe. Hence, while other objects of nature will take thousands and millions of years to effect a certain course of action (this is done instinctively and often times destructively with little or no consideration for the survival of other objects of nature), the human being is able to think rationally, quickly and in kind consideration of other objects that form his perception of existence. This unique ability is called intelligence and is responsible for alternating the entire course of our quest for survival. But the problem has been, all we’ve done with this ability is SURVIVE.
We have adapted and evolved into complex societies with structures aimed at ensuring continued existence. So far the extent of human ideas has always (save a few) been aimed at ensuring that we all live on probably more comfortably and more safely but most importantly that we live. Hence, much thought is given to today and little is thought about the Future. It is true that the future is a built upon the present hence, if we must build a future we all plan to see, we must look at time as a multi-storey building.
The truth remains that there is so much to our universe that we may never really understand and we are just a little part of it. But let’s think about this as an ant living in earth. For the little ant, earth is an infinite breath of matter that it will never understand due to its vast size and its (the ant) very tiny structure. Hence, the reason why the ant may not get to perceive earth in its vastness is not because earth is unperceivable but because the ant is simply too small and its perspective too narrow and restricted to itself. All it hopes to do is survive and live in its immediate environment as well as to secure the land for the next generation. This is the same story of us humans living in a vast universe which is seemingly impossible to understand. We are small, so we look at it with small eyes from a small perspective. What if we could take up the eyes of a giant. Hence, perceive the universe from the perspective of a bigger object than our selves say a galaxy. Now this sounds complex and seems to be just not possible but it actually is. We do not need to study the galaxy or explore its entirety to get the insight we need, all we need do is to allow our minds, the vast ness of a galaxy and hence widen our perception to be able to receive new data and perceive various aspects of reality not known to us. Scientists say it would take about 3 million years to fill up our brain. This simply renders it impossible for us to fill it up. However, this gives us a shot at incredible genius. The vastness of the brain’s capacity gives us a shot at incredible genius. Now, if we are able to reduce these 3 million years to just about 70 years, what will we have to do, we’ll have to widen the nozzle by which the information that gets into our brain passes through. Just like water passing through a pipe, the time it will take for 10 litres of water to fill up is determined by the size of the pipe. Our mind is the pipe by which information is passed to our brain. We can by widening the nozzle of our minds receive more information to our brains. However, this will mean going against all that you know. This seems impossible right. One would ask a question, how about the senses can we boost their abilities too? I say certainly yes. It’s been observed that while most of us have very sharp ears, some other may have clearer eyesight etc. This renders a possibility for advancement in the variation of our perception hence a tendency to make one see better, hear clearer as well as enhance other senses. I also believe that there are many other senses unexplored or undefined by us which will give us greater perception into our reality. Hence premonitions, instincts etc., may just be the answer to many of our questions, we can sharpen them and evolve very sharp senses to perceive objects which are transient to our 3 dimensional reality. Also, advances in technology will help us perceive those things we cannot perceive with our ordinary natural senses.
With this advancement in our evolution, we can beyond our adaptation to nature and its forces certainly mallet reality into the shape we hope to perceive it.
