Everyday Darwinism

Are each one of us … in some way … engaged in the process of adaptation of the specie? Certainly … we recognize our individual choices … in the undertaking. But are we also aware of the involvement an individual action may create … in the collective will of the evolutionary process? At the teen experience … we certainly feel this overwhelming sense of responsibility for all life … that we carry into adulthood.

No doubt ... we narrow our orientation … to the humanity experience … when we grow older … for the burdens of caring … are quite consuming. We thereafter … limit our concerns to the way we undertake our role in society … the work we do … social relations … and charity. However … we never stop being mindful of the greater global and universal environment … and in a way feel a sense of relation to it.

We observe from our daily activities … the way we may have created an unconscious or sub-conscious will in relation to the experience … and apply ourselves in curios ways … to lead that to the notion of our personality. And as we bring that to bear on the issues … it provides a greater drive … to our actions … and brings us to an identification … with the will of the universe … that's interpreted as a magical-divine phenomenon.

It produces the sensation of a unique quality in our experiences … in which we find that we are as a partner … to another … in the world … with regards to the flow and nurturing of life's possibilities. At a younger age … it raises the wonder struck sensations in the ego … but when we are able to move forward with the experience … it produces a greater coherence … in the way … we perceive ourselves in the situation.

In observing the phenomenon in my experiences … I seem to recall the ' bleeding heart ' sensation … of care … and the horrors we encountered in youth … as regards wars … famine … pestilence … and the misguided will of man in some situations. It forces us to withdraw from a greater orientation to the world … and persuades us the comfort and security … of our corner of the world … where we hope for the support of our contemporaries … in the bias we have come to.

A quick check on the conditions … in these times … persuades us that the web … satellite TV … airlines … and cell phone … has brought the world to where we are … in our relative comfort and is persuading us … to continue with our involvement … with the world. Sometimes … its necessary to dig ourselves … out of the hole that we have entered into. In essence … it persuades us to continue with the tasks from before.

And while everybody is in that way engaged in a fair share of contribution and responsibility … we sometimes encounter … experiences … that apply themselves … in a unique role … to represent the collective quality of faith or knowledge in these matters. A check on the past reveals … personalities such as Mahavira and Buddha … around the time 700 bc … who provided us with a collation of aphorisms and knowledge regarding our condition.

Of significance … is the comment by the Buddha that … ' man seeks fame and popularity.' This forms the fundamental basis of the bias … we encounter today … in the way we carry out our duties in the cycles of life. But that view has to be tempered with the realization … that life's enthusiasm is to come to the view and understanding of its manifestation … and to experience the joy of being.

We make a new note in these times … from our insights … of a young child … whose propensities imitate the bias of adults … but does not itself … comprise the qualities … of seeking fame and popularity. And this is the new criteria … that has risen in significance in our affairs … and persuades us to scale down ambitions … in favor of the consolidation of our experiences … in the world.

As partner … our father role … moderates the child … of the significance of the natural bias … and the condition of man's body … in the experience. Its an age-old issue … and we used to respond to it as … ' the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.' These days however … we find that the child is responsive to such defenses … only if we can prove that we have gone the distance … in our sojourn … and established some relatively precise measures … about human capability.

Such a unique personality today … would match the circumstances in the world … associated with Osiris and his child Horus. And as we note the similarity … we are also mindful of the conditions existing in those times … as compared to the conditions today … and to the nature of the achievement. Osiris attempted the division of man … into the root races. Today's endeavors aim at uniting the same root races … into the development of a homogenous identity.

And while we affirm the equal participation of everyone in the process of collective self determination … we find the quirky role of the teens of the world … who can be both supportive and destructive in their attitudes. The way that they change their minds … and positions … and pick up contradictory attitudes in their responses … can only be described as being divisive … for everyone. In that … our experience of the universe and creative energies informs us that … at some point … we could call it the ' Os Point ' … the universe comes to a position of being self-inflicted … in its opposite natures.
