“People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between

past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

- Albert Einstein

Perhaps this current Universe that we call our home is just one of many in a string of cosmic experiments to produce self-aware Life. Perhaps many of those failed. The fractal physics of creation has to be so precisely perfect, or the Universe would have collapsed back on itself early in its creation, long before prehistoric times. Ancient Hindu thought describes “One Day of Brahma” to be almost 4.5 billion solar years, and “One night of Brahma” was also 4.5 billion years - that Lord Brahma, the Creator has a lifespan of one hundred “Brahma Years”, or hundreds of trillions of solar years. It is also thought that the Universe has been cyclically created and destroyed about eighteen thousand times so far. Wow, now that’s a time scale!

To me the Universe apperas like a grand Thought in the Mind of God, a Purposeful Intention. I will refer to this as the Creative Evolutionary Impulse, and this Universal Intelligence is building a mirror in the human in which It can reflect upon Itself, and see Itself, appreciate and co-create with Itself: Conscious of the One in the many, the many in the One. It appears that the Creative Evolutionary Impulse has distinct stages and purpose for the development of Life, each stage preparing the way for the next. The appearance of Life on Earth was no random accident, but has a purposeful cosmic intention to create self-aware and universally aware life – a life that can become fully aware of itself, in UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS with All-There-Is, One-In-The-Mind of God.

Circa, The Big Bang

13-15 Billion years ago

The actual origin of the Universe is a mystery and largely unknown. It is only conjectured by physicists as to the possible beginning of creation and includes many theories. At present, the “Big Bang” is the most widely accepted version of where all-of-this has come from. On the horizon is the idea that we exist in an infinite sea of aether, or what is recently referred to as dark energy/dark matter. This is an ancient Greek and Hindu/Yogic concept (called the “Water of Life”, or liquid light) of an invisible field of aether which is the backdrop for all of creation. Andre Linde theorizes that it is likely that the Universe expands in a fractal manner, with infinite bubbles of inflation – each one being a big bang itself, that the big bang occurs everywhere at once, from all points in the infinite. It is not my intent to give you the details of how our Universe came about, only as a context to our present day evolutionary status.

The word “Universe” means “one song”, and implies that the All-There-Is is ONE THING that is totally interconnected in a harmonic, macrocosmic matrix of light energy and vibrational frequency. Current theory proposes that just prior to the “Big Bang” all of matter was compressed into a tiny ball of highly condensed energy smaller than the size of an atom (not very much matter), which must have initially imploded, and then exploded into an inflationary Universe; moving outward and away from the initial point of existence, occurring at all points within the aether field of creation. If, for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, then there must be a contracting force equal to that of the expansive force. There must be a harmonious balance. There is no explosive force without its opposite. Contraction and expansion must exist together. There are vast spaces between the stars and galaxies, and vast spaces between subatomic particles! Remember, it was all condensed smaller than an atom. From nothing, something… hmm. From the size of an atom to the size of the Universe. Vast spaces…, I’m trying to wrap my mind around that.

This originating explosion released a cosmic spray of energy, heat, light, and subatomic particles spreading in all directions simultaneously from every point in space approximately 13 to 15 billion years ago. It is thought that all of existence expands and contracts in fractal, or self-similar patterns at the macro and the micro levels. This fractal contraction and expansion occurs at infinitely large and infinitely small spaces - from the Universe, to super clusters, to solar systems, to planets, to cells, atoms, and the subatomic realm. Think of the vortex of water spinning down a drain - there are two forces at work: one spins out (centrifugal) and one spins in (centripetal) - equal and opposite, as above, so below. Black/white holes are thought to exist at the center of the Universe, the center of superclusters, the center of galaxies, and even at the center of atoms (the Schwarzchild Proton).

5-13 Billion years ago

After hundreds of thousands of years, the Universe began to cool enough to allow for electrons, protons, and alpha particles to be attracted to one another by their opposite (positive/negative, yin/yang), or polarized electrical charges to form subatomic particles and atoms. This newly born Universe was filled with hot atoms, or nexi of energy, in a cosmic dance with one another, which eventually produced immense clouds of gases. These gases formed into nebulae which are a type of celestial fog. Further condensation of this celestial fog fashioned billions and billions of stars, superclusters which gathered together and formed galaxies. Each galaxy contained billions of stars, and was separated from other billions of galaxy clusters by a vast and seemingly endless sea of virtually empty space. It is believed that 99.99999% of creation is void of matter, and that even the atoms and molecules of our reality are likewise, mostly vast regions of empty space. Perhaps our subconscious and unconscious minds are representations of that 99.99999%. Could this mean we are only 0.00001% conscious of our actions and capacities? I’ll bet it does.

As stars within the galaxies begin to cool, and their internal pressure dramatically diminishes, they contract and collapse, triggering an immense explosion called a supernova, scattering all of its matter back into comic dust – a fractal of the original big bang. Supernova after supernova recombined the elemental particles into more and more specific and refined metals (referred to as metalicity). It is estimated that the atoms and particles of our planets and bodies are a result of a supernova which occurred more than five billion years ago. Every aspect of us is literally made from stardust! We are definitely, most assuredly Starchildren. Carl Sagan describes us as, “Stardust pondering the stars.”

It is further believed that the fractal nature of existence is based upon energetic templates of platonic solids and sacred geometry, which give form, substance, and stability to all aspects of matter – from the Universe to nebulae, to galaxies, to stars and planets, to plants, animals, and cells, to molecules and atoms, all the way down to the vacuum domain of empty space. It is thought that everything and every thing in creation is a spinning vortex of light (contraction and expansion), energy, and information - a fractal, holographic expression of the One.

4-5 Billion years ago

Each of the billions of galaxies is populated with stars – billions of them! Many of the stars collected into systems as the cosmic gases, particles, and dust began to condense and form into planets held together by the forces of gravity and electromagnetic fields. One of these star systems is our very own sun. Earth became one of many planets circling in this merry-go-round pond of our solar system. The sun is the life-giving energy of virtually all life on the planet, and billions of years ago shone upon the face of Earth - interacted with the atoms and molecules – was transformed, and became Life about to be born.

1-4 Billion years ago

The atoms of Earth are made mostly of helium, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, iron, and other metals. These atoms have further condensed into the molecules of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, water, and carbon chains – all the necessary components and initial building blocks of Life.

The compressed atomic gases of early planet Earth formed mostly into condensed minerals creating a cauldron of hot minerals and gases, which produced liquid metals, mineral salts, water, and gases. Then, over eons of time these minerals and metals were eventually forced to the planet’s surface, where they were highly compressed by gravity and the weight of the Earth’s gravitational sink itself. They cooled to become the rock and stone that contained a myriad of mineral salts trapped in their hardened case.

Over a very long period of time, the wind, and the water, and the weather, and the fungi and lichen, and the environment collectively broke down the hardened rock salts into finer and finer bits. These tiny bits were carried by the water and the winds to the lowlands where they became deposited and built up, becoming the basis our soil. The glacial and natural spring waters bring a full spectrum of minerals and trace elements into the valleys. These same minerals, over millennium, have produced the “Salt of the Seas”, as the run-off from the rivers and streams was eventually concentrated into the salty brine. Did you know that the ionic mineral balance of sea water is the same as the ionic mineral balance of our body, and that the Earth is approximately 70% water, and so are we?

We are sons and daughters of a supernova and a blue-green water planet. Life on Earth originates from the chemical soup that was formed billions of years ago in cosmic space. Within this earthly chemical soup are compounds known as proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, minerals, fatty acids, and water, etc., that became the building blocks of Life. The first forms of Life appeared on Earth about 600,000 years after the formation of the planet – about three and a half billion years ago. These earliest life forms were prokaryote single cells and became known as bacteria, algae, amoeba, yeast, and protozoa, etc., and populated the Earth for approximately the next three to four billion years.

350-750 Million years ago

The innate drive to survive is the Biological Imperative. Even single-celled organisms have an awareness to survive by moving toward food and light, and away from toxic and dangerous environments. Fossil records show that evolution does NOT progress in small, incremental changes, as Darwin described. Paleontologists Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge, in their book, Punctuated Equilibrium, proposed that evolution results from long periods of relatively stable species, changing very little for millions of years, that are interrupted by catastrophic upheavals, followed by rapid and radical bursts in populations of new species that could not have been predicted in advance. They contend that these evolutionary quantum leaps, or what they referred to as “punctuated equilibrium”, occur in the wake of massive species extinctions approximately every 50-60 million years, generally caused by natural cataclysms.

David Wilcock (divinecosmos.com), author of the trilogy, Convergence, and other authors contend that the center of the galaxy releases periodic ripples of energy which move through the galaxy and our solar system at specific intervals, and correspond to the nine levels of the Mayan calendar, and to the phenomenon of punctuated equilibrium, which reprograms and restructures the DNA, spontaneously transforming all of life on the planet and in the galaxy. They theorize that we are currently experiencing one of these energetic upgrades, also creating patterns of global warming that is effecting the entire solar system, not just Earth. This phenomenon is also causing us to go through, what is referred to as the “Sixth Mass Extinction” in the history of the planet. This is a precursor to a shift in the evolutionary status of all species on Earth, especially humans – upgrading humanity from homo sapiens to homo luminous/spiritus, our higher frequency light bodies (as espoused by the Maya, Aztec, and Hindu cultures, and other ancient civilizations). This upgrading is considered to reach quantum completion by the end of 2012.

Dr. Bruce Lipton feels that cooperation and sharing is the basis for our evolution, and that survival is dependent upon how well we share communication and process environmental information and data exchange. Jean Baptiste Lamarck, Darwin’s predecessor, suggested that evolution is the result of organisms acquiring and passing on environmentally induced adaptations necessary to sustain their survival in an ever-changing and dynamic world. The fossil records and current evidence show that the Malthusian-Darwin notion that the “law of the jungle” drives evolution has no solid scientific merit. Organisms have a profoundly strong intention and will to survive - continually adapting to stressful circumstances in real-time – and to becoming MORE AWARE!

About 750 million years ago, an evolutionary leap occurred when single eukaryotic cells began to form loose communities called colonies. This greatly enhanced the likelihood of survival. An increase in the number of single cells “in community” improved awareness of the environment. This lead to the formation of algae communities, slime colonies, fungus, molds, and lichen, etc., which became the very first multicellular Life on Earth. Initially there were tens, then hundreds, and eventually thousands of single cells forming single colonies. This evolutionary leap to multicellular life allowed socially interactive eukaryotic monocells to become a unified and cooperative ecosystems of millions, billions, and even trillions of cells. This eventually lead to the formation of lichen, jellyfish, and plants about 550-650 million years ago. Fungi and lichen were the first life forms existing on dry land, and paved the way for other plant species, which followed millions of years later - then followed millions of years later by amphibians and reptiles, which fed off the plants. Each life form set the stage for and supported the next level of a more evolved complexity of life.

The next evolutionary leap in the development of Life on Earth was when the multicellular plants and organisms began to direct “specialized functions”. This is known in the biological sciences as differentiation, which allowed for a distribution of the organisms’ workload. Differentiation lead to the development of specialized tissues and organs, which conserved a lot of energy, but also, greatly increased the organisms awareness of the environment, and created an ECOSYSTEM OF CELLS, a unified cooperative community (Dr. Lipton refers to us as, “Skin covered petri dishes).” Perception of the environment was then biologically relegated to the development of the nervous system, whose job it was to perceive and interpret the environment, and to coordinate and inform the activity of all the other cells (trillions of them) in this vast community of cells called “the body” or the “organism”.

Fish first appeared as a group known as vertebrates. At this time, there were plenty of plants and other forms that provided food, and created conditions that allowed fish to temporarily to come out of the water. In time, the Universal Intelligence, or the Creative Evolutionary Impulse, developed legs and lungs that provided them with the means to briefly leave the ocean and ponds to become amphibians. There were many types of plants and trees that had developed a means to reproduce and survive on land, but still needed a source of water to proliferate. Insects and reptiles learned to survive on land, and began to grow in numbers – living off of seeds and eating each other. Dinosaurs ruled the land!

100-250 Million years ago

Flowers appeared, which allowed for the appearance of bees, butterflies, birds, and other animals that eat nectar, seeds, nuts, and fruits, and carried pollen to other plants – creating better survival strategies for plants to live on land and successfully reproduce. New animals called mammals began to evolve. Mammals developed improvements in reproduction by carrying their young inside their bodies, increasing survivability of their offspring in a very dynamic world.

50 Million years ago to the Present

With the eventual demise of dinosaurs, mammals spread prolifically, and diversified upon the land. During this era Life evolved at an ever-increasing rate with a rapid development, size, capacity, and complexity of the frontal cortex of the brain. The nervous system and spinal columns shifted from horizontal to vertical with the appearance of primates and primitive humans; freeing the hands for the use of tools, improved environmental awareness, and the eventual ability to manipulate and invent more complex tools. This moved toward increased cognitive information processing and the capacity for improved communication via body language and speech. The early humans, homo erectus and Neanderthal, migrated throughout Africa, Asia, and Mesopotamia. Primitive humans finally gave way to the larger brained, modern homo sapiens approximately 100,000 to 250,000 years ago.

Over the last 50 -100,000 years, evolutionary progress in the growth, size, and development of the brain of contemporary humans has greatly advanced ever faster and faster (believe it or not). Modern humans are the end product of a chain of evolutionary life processes that generate increasingly broader and more complex intelligence and self-awareness.

The Three Evolutionary Brains

Nature has developed three evolutionary brains – the primitive, the emotional, and the thinking modules, which have advanced in three stages or layers, with each layer growing around and covering the previous one. These parts of the brain are sometimes referred to as the reptilian, mammalian, and neo-cortex, and have distinct divisions of function. As humans, we hold the entire course of evolutionary development within our single brain.

1. The reptilian brain (also called hind-brain, or the “R-Complex”) developed in dinosaurs, reptiles, snakes, and lizards about 200 million years ago. It is small and simple in nature, and functions to allow for rudimentary survival (some of the largest dinosaurs have been found to possess a brain the about the size of a walnut). The “R-Complex” is programmed with the basic instincts of feeding, fighting, and reproduction, and allows for the automatic functioning and repairing of the organs necessary for life – cardiovascular, digestion and elimination, immunity, etc. The reptilian brain is in control of basic, primitive survival.

2. The mammalian brain (also called the mid-brain) contains the upper spinal cord, and the cerebellar and limbic systems, which are responsible for coordinating movements, emotions, proprioception, and primitive thoughts. This outcropping of the reptilian brain occurred approximately 50 million years ago, and is the most densely packed area of neural tissue in the brain.

The limbic system is well connected to the functions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve system, and coordinates emotional responses to the primitive functions of the lower brain. Survival instincts are given emotional qualities that provide for fight, flight, fright, healing, and/or reproductive responses and memories linked to the environment that insure for a continuation of the species. The parasympathetic nerve system reduces and calms the stress response, and is accountable for digestion, growth and repair, immunity, and orgasm, etc.

Structures within the midbrain include the:

Thalamus – which is connected to all areas of the brain and body, and acts as the “air traffic control”, coordinating many higher and lower functions of the nervous system.

Hypothalamus – A chemical factory that balances the internal and external environments. It controls appetite, thirst, blood pressure and glucose, body temperature, chemical and hormone balance, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction. The thalamus and hypothalamus work together to prepare the body for fight and/or flight stress response. (The stress response will be covered in great detail in a following chapter).

Pituitary Gland – secretes chemicals that activate hormones in the body, and is considered the “Master Gland”.

Pineal Gland – controls the biorhythms, or the “Internal Clock”, that is affected the amount of light (photonic data from the sun), stimulating the release of serotonin during the day, and melatonin at night.

Hippocampus – The clearinghouse for long and short-term memory, and the associative learning of new experiences. It assists in the memory of “persons, places, times, things, and feelings”, in order to make the unknown known and remembered.

Amygdala – stores highly charged emotional experiences and primitive emotions into long-term memory. It alerts the system to precognitive survival responses, and is a fear and/or contentment generator.

Basal Ganglia – integrates feelings and thoughts with physical responses to the environment. It assists to suppress and control automatic impulses and anxiety.

3. The neocortex, or the thinking brain, developed over the last 200-300 thousand years, and is found in primates, whales, dolphins, crows, and human beings. This third brain molded itself around the previous two brains, and is responsible for language, reason, thinking, free will, analyzing, logic, planning, creating, communicating, and conscious memories. It is an interpreter and the “Seat of Conscious Awareness”. The human brain contains the record of our entire evolutionary past, including memories from all three modules of the brain, encoding our cosmic experiences and adaptation to the environment and matrix of the Earth and galaxy. It is all enfolded and mapped into our neurons and into our DNA (which is encoded by periodic pulses of Universal Morphic Field information).

My purpose here is not to give the reader a detailed explanation of the brain, but only an evolutionary overview of its development in regard to our present status and understanding. For a more thorough review of brain anatomy and function, I highly recommend Dr. Joe Dispenza’s book, Evolve Your Brain, to gain some appreciation for this extraordinary organ.

Life on this planet has evolved from single cells, to communities of single cells, to multicellular plants and animals consisting of billions and trillions of symbiotic, coexisting systems of cells; to thinking, feeling, and creative human beings, to Earth as Gaia – a single living organism in a greater cosmic body; all part of a whole and united ECOSYSTEM of organic and inorganic intelligence. Biological organisms appear to have evolved toward a broader complexity of conscious and intelligent shifts – from the biological evolution of cells and plants, to the mental evolution of mammals and primates, to the spiritual evolution of Self-awareness, appreciation, and consciousness in humans.

Gaia

The two main groups of Gaia’s living units are plants and animals. Plants absorb carbon dioxide, sunshine (light energy/photons), and water – releasing oxygen and energy materials of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, etc. Interestingly, animals absorb oxygen, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats – releasing carbon dioxide, water, and “fertilizer”. What a perfect set-up for survival! These two multicellular life forms completely support and depend upon one another for food, air, water, and Life existence. We live through SYMBIOSIS with all other Earthly forms – cooperation, community, and coexistence is how we live and thrive! Cooperation is perhaps more essential for evolution than is competition; in fact, intelligent cooperation has been part of the development of everything from atoms and molecules to human beings. At some level cooperation is even older than life itself. Love is a universal urge to reunite the many with the Original One.

Our bodies have an UNIMAGINABLE WISDOM AND POWER to arrange and control trillions of cells – consisting of an infinite number of molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles. All ALIVE and dancing and moving and flowing and shifting, changing and cooperating in a harmonious function called homeokinesis (homeostasis) – Life adapting to thrive and survive, and to become more fully conscious and aware.

Contemporary thought has turned to the acquisition of new senses and the idea that Life is a continual process of learning, growth, increased understanding and creativity, and a vision of greater inner unfoldment and potential. Filled with an appreciation of historical and evolutionary perspective, the new humanity is reaching for quantum dimensions from within a sea of infinite possibility. As we evolve out of old, non-growth and unsustainable cycles, many people are beginning to re-evaluate their worn-out attitudes, and are replacing them with fantastic ideas of greater growth, expansion, possibility, and personal responsibility. We are seeking what Martin Luther King, Jr. referred to as the “beloved community”. We are seeing the possibility of evolving beyond our current mindset and environment. We are all related. We are all in this TOGETHER!

Dr. King spoke of it this way: “We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will all perish together as fools. We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in the inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are able to be what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be, until I am what I ought to be…”
