Does evolution mirrors time itself?

Introduction

Evolution mirrors time itself. It is related to the process of spiritual awakening. Inefficiencies in our biological neural network accumulate due to maladaptive programming. Spiritual awakening triggers a rapid integration process, exposing and re-coding these maladaptive traits as we become our higher self. The act requires us to break through the matrix, re-evaluating and consciously changing our hierarchy of values. Collectively, this process makes our biological neural network more efficient. The result is an enhanced ability to process information. Spiritual awakening leads to a profound evolution within the self. This transformation heightens awareness and mindfulness, altering the way we perceive time as if time is moving more slowly. The spiritual awakening represents an evolutionary shift.

Intelligence

Intelligence is the capacity of a system to process, interpret, and respond to information. Intelligence represents the rate of information processed over time. Its properties are scalable. Dr. Levin, a developmental biologist at Tufts, says, "We are a collection of cells, with each cell possessing competencies developed from its evolution from unicellular organisms. This forms a multi-scale competent architecture, where each level, from cells to tissues to organs, is solving problems within their unique space."

We are intelligent beings, parts of collectives: family, tribes, nations, and species. There are invisible threads - social constructs and contracts that bind us all, the matrix. What sets us apart is our capacity to direct our own evolution. As humans navigate this universe, we create ripples in the equations. From the void, we chart an unknown path, responding to the ripples. Over time, certain maladaptations and asynchronous developments occur at both the individual and collective levels. Certain mechanisms help us recalibrate, aligning ourselves to current needs.

The spiritual awakening emerges as an evolutionary tool to shed the old, and no longer needed, which liberates the individual. Our purpose, coded into our DNA, is to survive. In the modern context, it calls on us to align with our highest self, which emphasizes duty towards the survival of our collective intelligence, our species.

"You have the right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.” - Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 47

Spiritual awakening

The spiritual awakening is an intense and transformative process in our psyche. Dabrowski's (Polish psychologist) theory of positive disintegration provides us with a framework to understand. Our individual behavior and attitudes are governed by our social and biological instincts and desires. We may feel like passive objects within society, simply fulfilling expected roles.

Unilevel disintegration recognizes conflicts between the self and societal expectations. This could manifest as tension between pursuing a socially approved career path and one's true passion. Without a clear sense of purpose, these inner tensions can lead to anxieties. However, if we move beyond these conflicts, we reach what Dabrowski calls multilevel disintegration, a state akin to spiritual awakening, which shifts our entire value systems.

Our emotions are the output of predictive algorithms based on our stored memories and experiences. Emotions output by our biological neural network guide us to respond to our realities. But trauma imprints itself onto us, causing structural deficiencies in our neural network, shutting off nodes, and creating subtle blocks in how we process information. Plus, maladaptive social conditioning ingrained deeply within our psyche also reduces the efficiency in how we process information. At the multilevel disintegration, the individual breaks down the old version of the self and constructs a new self - a process where we define our hierarchy of values with a clear sense of purpose.

To disintegrate, we must jump into the abyss, shift from one plane of reality to a higher dimension. I am unsure if we have a choice. What the self comes to know cannot be unknown. There is a temporary suspension of the self where foundational concepts connected to our beliefs break, causing a cascading effect. It shifts the entire biological neural network, recalibrating its calculus. It is the dissolution of the old self - its death. The birth of a higher self.

The process is painful. The ego distorts our realities to hide painful truths, which we must now confront and accept. Our journey involves a series of confrontations with our demons, breaking bits and pieces of the matrix.

Matrix

War, famine, diseases - these are the collective experiences of our ancestors. A continuum of suffering passed down, forming the matrix. The matrix represents our programming. It encompasses both the genetics and experiences that shape us, as well as the interaction of the self within a rigid set of social rules, norms, expectations, and limitations. The matrix subjugates the individual, discouraging and distorting select truths as undesirable. It represents our collective egos, and our adaptations to harsh realities. These structural frameworks, imposed on us, are constantly changing. They elevate one group but oppress others.

The rise and fall of societies follow a calculable pattern, a cyclical equation where hardship often gives birth to innovation and progress. Empowered by shared struggles, free societies flourish, allowing technological advancements and dominance. However, excess wealth and complacency eventually decay the moral fabric, leading to decline, until new structures or systems emerge from the ashes, perpetuating the cycle.

Disintegration breaks through the matrix. It is a difficult and painful process that recalibrates our biological neural networks. The process allows us to see and break through our matrix. It realigns us with our purpose, and ultimately, we build the new world.

Conclusion

The spiritual awakening process is a profoundly transformative experience. It is an intense process that shifts our reality by recalibrating our biological neural networks. Our neural networks process, interpret, and respond to our realities. During this process, certain maladaptive traits and perspectives are challenged, shifting our reality. It breaks the old self so a higher self can emerge. The recalibrated biological neural network processes information more efficiently. The spiritual awakening process increases the rate of information we process, which allows us to experience the world at a slower pace, where time itself slows.

It allows us to make a simple observation. The entire process of disintegration represents an evolutionary shift. As it changes our perception of time, we can establish a relationship between evolution and time.

Evolution mirrors time itself.
