When will Humanity make that Leap?

( – promoted by buhdydharma )

We are on the verge of a new age, a whole new world.

Mankind’s consciousness, our mutual awareness, is going to make a Quantum Leap

Everything will change. You will never be the same.

All this will happen just as soon as you’re ready.

— Paul Williams, Das Energi, 1973

Ever since I first read that,

I’ve been waiting, and working, and dreaming of the day,

when it finally happens.

As Pink Floyd might say — “I’m Still Waiting!”

Well Quantum science, is all about a New Paradigm …

all about looking at the World, from a different perspective.

All about tapping that unseen potential …

We are on the verge of a new age, a whole new world.

Mankind’s consciousness, our mutual awareness, is going to make a Quantum Leap

Everything will change. You will never be the same.

All this will happen just as soon as you’re ready.

A Quantum is a Unit of Measure, on the atomic level.

A Quantum is one of the smallest units of Energy, that can be easily measured.

When an electron does a Quantum Leap, a photon of light, can be the result.

When an electron does a Quantum fall back, that photon of light, gets reabsorbed.

Darkness can be the result.

Humanity has gone through a long hard struggle, sometimes the Light breaks through. However for most of our long painful history, our Species has been mired in the lowest stages of our Potential — where Darkness abounds.

For Centuries, well millennia really, the “Old World Mentality” was ruled by the basest of fears, by the starkest of instincts

“Fight or Flight” was the driving force in so many Alpha Wars.

Order was kept, but just barely. It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t Just. It wasn’t pretty.

It wasn’t very effective either.  

“Fight or Flight” is a very poor way, to reach your Potential, either as an Individual, or as a Society.

Or as a Planet …

=======

Humanity yearned for more. We wanted New Freedoms, New Opportunities.

The best instincts in Humanity, have always wanted better, for their families, and even their friends and neighbors.

Those best instincts drove many to seek out and build a “New World” — a place where the brutal tyrannies of the past would be banished.

Little did they know, the worse of Humanity’s Instincts, followed them, even if their Feudal Lords, didn’t

The People fought, for Freedom.

Often selflessly. Often valiantly. Often tragically.

=======

With their hard-fought Freedoms won, the People STILL had to face a new kind of Serfdom.

The fate of wage-slave laborer, as the New World Society of “brutal competititon” was born.

The People were fed Platitudes, instead of Bread,

stoked with Endless Fears, Instead of Hope.

In many ways Humanity, has finally returned to the gut-level Fears of the Eras past,

where the Unknowns, are the ultimate guiding principles

Where the stark realities of survival, are often too grim to bear.

And the Vision of the Possible, is rarely found, beyond the halls of a Campaign Rally.

That Promise of the New World,

that Promise of the New World, has dwindled to just a quaint ideal.

A quaint distant memory

Fading, with the distant Hope, for a better day, for a better life,

For a Society, where significant Change, was actually within reach.

=======

When will Humanity make that Quantum Leap?

You know, Push through, to the next stage of our vast Human Potential?

We are on the verge of a new age, a whole new world.

Mankind’s consciousness, our mutual awareness, is going to make a Quantum Leap

Everything will change. You will never be the same.

All this will happen just as soon as you’re ready.

We need to realize our common Human Needs, and our common Destiny,

as a complex, diverse, Species.

A Species, who has learn to conquer the elements.

A Species, who has learned how to tap the Atom,

A Species, who has learned to reach for the Stars …

This Lifeboat we call Home, is much smaller, and more fragile, than our distant Ancestors ever imagined.

Ages past, were bent on Domination, and Resource Capture —

Today’s Raft of Humanity, must learn tolerance, creativity, and cooperation,

Must learn to make the most of our limited Resources,

that is, if Humanity is ever to tap, our yet Unseen Potential …

to our reach our common Destiny …

Indeed, Mankind must learn how to “Wage Peace”,

if Humanity is to ultimately survive,

and perhaps, someday, even Thrive.

Maybe someday, we can “quit waiting” —

and start Doing, eh?

Maybe someday, we’ll let go of the Ghosts of by-gone Eras,

Maybe someday, Humanity will make the Leap,

to the Stage, that holds, Only Possibilities …

Maybe?

then again, maybe not.

So much depends on what each of us, as Individuals,

Choose to do.
