What do you think is possible for the human now that has never been possible before?
Where on earth can we even begin with this question? Well here on earth, our home, might be a good starting point. Imagine if we could travel back in time, let’s say 500 years and think of the modes of travel that were available for the human. Let’s list them as it won’t take long.Â
There’s the horse, camels, let’s add an elephant, donkey, pony. There’s not much. And then consider the speeds that human’s travelled back in those days, apart from a strong horse that can run perhaps up to 60 mph, mostly the speeds would have been much slower. Let’s then go back another 500 years and the list and speeds don’t change. But let’s fast-forward to what is available to the human in the 2000’s.Â
This list looks very different, as do the speeds. Sure enough we can keep the horses, donkeys, camels, but we can then add motor cars, speed boats, aeroplanes, spaceships.Â
That’s methods of travel dealt with, so what about methods of communication. In the past we had word of mouth, hieroglyphs, letters, and then came along the telephone and now we have mobile phones, laptops, Zoom and so much more. And think of the difference in air pollution or noise pollution. The sizes of villages, towns and cities. Most of us don’t really go too long without seeing another human. So, we can list all kinds of man-made things as they relate to means of travel and communication.Â
There is so much that our ancestors could never have imagined, and this relates to the question What do you think is possible for the human now that has never been possible before? All that is referred to above happened because at some time in the human evolution story something became possible, activated almost, in the human brain and mind that promoted ideas, inspiration, visions. Much of which has helped us humans on our way, benefited our health and wellbeing. But there’s also much that it isn’t.Â
So what might be possible now that has never been possible before that can actually help the human race, and our home planet earth, survive and thrive? It’s worth taking time to meditate on because just maybe there’s something waiting to be unlocked inside you.
