The world is speeding up.
It is hard to ignore this fact, but rather easy to not notice it.
Information exchange is becoming faster and faster, with computer processing speed doubling every couple of months, how long until computers can work as fast as the human brain?
Dr Fred Alan Wolf, a leading theoritical Quantum Physicist, put forth the idea that human consciousness works at such a blinding speed that we actually make our decisions somewhere in the immediate future, not the present.
As an example when you reach for something. Your arm and hand respond not with the thought of reaching for and picking up something, but rather the 'idea' of reaching for and picking up something so you will have it in the very near future rather than 'right now'.
So we humans, really, do not live in the 'now', as a lot of new-agers claim we do, but we are forever living in the future, basing our actions on something that may or may not happen in the future.
However, we have also been lead to base our actions not on the possible future outcome, but on our past experiences. Seeing a new, possible love partner? How often do you base your reactions on some other aspect of your past? Do you jump to conclusions more so based on past reflections? Of course you do, because you liketo think you know what will happen.
The beauty of living in the future is that everything, EVERYTHING, is brand sparkling new.
Things you think may come out this way or that, never truly conform to your ideas based on past experiences.
Fantasy unfortunatly plays a big part of living in the future. Like refering to past experiences to anticipate future outcomes, fantasy is coming up with scenarios, specific outcomes to percieved reality.
But reality is a bitch, her name is Eris and she does not like to throw a party where everyone knows what is going to happen. Why even put on a party?
I'm not going to tell you how to live in the future becasue you already do it most of the time. You have to know this. Accept it.
Sure, it's fun, painful, happy, sad, to relive past experiences, and the few golden nuggets of information that may actually help you in future endeavours should be held on to.
But not too tightly.
The more we all live in the future, open to the limitless array of outcomes, the quicker all time will become one and humanity will shed it's flesh-prisons and live where it's mean't to. EVERYWHERE!
Computers, computers are catching up with brain processing powers, and one day they will reach it. The internet will run so fast and on human brainwave frequencies that we won't have to sit at a computer and look up something we want to look up. We will just have to close our eyes and think of accessing the information.
And once recorded information speed surpasses human consciousness, well, that's when the fun will truly begin.
Because we will have created the technology that eclipses human consciousness, we will of course be able to upgrade the human brain into doing the same thing.
Will time bleed through our percieved ideas of reality like dark dyes in a washing machine getting into your white undies?
Will both time and information overflow into everything? Past, present, the future, will they cease to exist as everything becomes accessible at the same time?
Enlightenment, evolution via the computer screen. It's going to happen.
The only worrying thing about it is of course the human element.
It should happen for all of us, but with the greed-demon still alive and well in us a species, don't be surprised if it is kept for the rich, while the poor keep doing what they're best at, being poor.
