What significance does Homo- have to us as a species?
Part II of II
...We may exist within the space of the universe, but we definitely think of ourselves as not being confined by space.
Take away space and we still see our essence as existing.
Take all awareness out of space and we still see space as existing.
We see the two, awareness and space, as two independent entities.
Unless we are willing to throw away what our faiths tell us, our observations point toward, and our rational arguments center around, we have no choice but to accept the concept that our genus is unique in some very basic way.
We appear to be the only life form on earth capable of connecting our existence to abstract existence.
•
We, as the genus Homo, are about to leave the earth.
We can leave with one of two philosophies.
We can leave earth to subjugate and dominate in order to establish our kingdom as a species so that certain individuals may reign supreme.
Or we can leave earth to learn about the heavens and expand the Causative Force.
The first is more exciting but short-lived.
The second is more idealistic but projects further into the future
We have a responsibility to make this choice.
If we do not consciously make the choice, we will go into space as we are, a species oriented around animalistic, territorial behaviors, the first of the two philosophies.
