| Re: The Role of Mankind Hi Tim; I guess I'm a bit confused as to what you are trying to discover. "The purpose of this thread is to explore our function in this world, whereby perhaps we can better understand our needed form." Our needed form is the form evolution has given us (i.e. we have two arms, and two legs, we stand upright, we have a mouth to eat with, eyes to see with, two ears to hear with, a nervous system to feel with, a nose to breath and smell with, a tongue to taste with, a large brain cavity and brain to think with, blood and a circulatory system, heart, lungs, etc etc. all because evolution says for the present this is the form we need.) And this is why I'm confused and could use some guidance or direction as to what you are looking for in this thread. Best to you, Pat P.S. If you are looking for enlightenment, is it physical, spiritual, mental, political, societal or some other form of enlightenment. Physical would probably relate to a TOE, spiritual would probably be Buddhism or Hinduism where you transcend the physical plane, etc. |
