We,The People, are not happy

An Alien looking at planet Earth through his telescope would see 8 billion individuals moving around like ants. He may be wondering what the cause of all this animation could be. We need food and shelter. That does not explain everything.  A couple of centuries ago, approximately 85% of the population was comprised of farmers. Today, they represent less than 5% of the population. We should be free from basic needs 80% of the time. What keeps us so busy?

We have long-term and short-term motivations.

The human body is high maintenance. It must be fed three times a day. It must be kept at the right temperature at all times. It doesn’t smell good unless we keep washing it regularly. We don’t know what happens during our 8 hours of sleep. Even if you spend one hour a day keeping your body in working order, you should have more than 14 hours of leisure per day. Something is missing somewhere.

Behind the short-term motivation of the individual lies the long-term motivation of a society. Civilizations appear and fade away like flowers bloom and wither. We are familiar with the Egyptian civilization, followed by the Greek and Roman cultures. More recently, in the 15th century, Portugal was the leader of Europe. In the 16th century, Spain was the leading power, followed by the Netherlands, France, and England. All those countries seemed to follow the same process. The individuals who lived at the time were not conscious that they served the same purpose. We are not separate individuals. We are a flow of people like a river running across the centuries. We serve a purpose, consciously or not. Something is missing in our understanding of life. Sooner or later, we stop what we are doing and ask ourselves:” What is the purpose of all this? What am I doing here? Is it worth it?”  Earth may not be hell, but it is not a paradise either. It looks more like purgatory.

To answer the question of “What are we doing on Earth?”, some people use religion. Others decided that they will be happy when they have enough money or become famous. We are all looking for love. The problem is that we don’t know where to look. Looking for love cannot be a daily activity.

How is motivation implemented in Nature?

Let’s take a labyrinth.

Pink Poppy Flowers

At first, we sent water to fill the labyrinth. It filled all the dead ends and found its way to the exit. Water is driven by gravity.

The next step is to replace the water with slime mold. It is this gluey thing spreading on dead trees in the forest. It has no head and no brain. However, it is used to improve our computers because it can solve problems faster than we can. The slime mold will fill all the dead ends of the labyrinth. It will also reach the exit. After reaching its goal, the slime mold will remove what is filling the dead ends and could be put to better use elsewhere. Slime mold is motivated by the search for food.

Now, let’s place humans at the entrance of the labyrinth. They are not driven by gravity. They are not looking for food. They lack real motivation. They may not find the exit. Motivation could be the key to success. It lacks shape, color, or weight. You will not find it in the material world. The key to success is in our souls.

Love could be the leading motivation in our lives. Unfortunately, we don’t have the necessary sense organs to guide our search. All we know is that we will not find it in money or in the material world. The answer will come from our soul and our motivation.

My name is Marsha. I live on planet Mars. I am retired. I spend most of my time watching my neighbors through my telescope. You need help on Earth – Don’t you?

  • I have been watching planet Earth for a long time. I saw humans using stones 300 000 years ago to make spears to hunt animals. That kept them busy for thousands of years. If you had your ego under control, you would have said: “How come it took us so long to master such a simple idea! We must not be very bright!”

We appreciate your comments

14 From Helena to Robert  Check the NDE

  • Let’s start with life.  How did you get the idea that “life “ is so small that it can only be used into something as small as a human body? You don’t have a problem with viruses, microbes, bacteria, fish, cats and dogs being alive, but anything above the elephant must be ‘dead’. Where did you get the idea that life should be limited to the size of the inhabitants of one little planet, in one solar system, in one galaxy?  Get out of your jail. Life can also be implemented on planets, solar systems and galaxies. The fact that your senses are limited does not mean that you can project your limitations onto the rest of the universe. Look at the light from your sun. It is radiating life all over the universe!

  • You have reached the point where you could send atomic bombs everywhere in the universe.​ Let me warn you. Don’t cross that line! You are to the universe what a cell is to your body. Not less but not more. We have our own immune system.  It is the general ‘Life’ that covers 2 trillion galaxies and millions of  stars in each galaxy. It will fight for its own survival and treat you like you treat one of your cancer cells. It is what you call ‘black holes.’ We have different sizes for different uses. Thousands of stars have been sent there to be recycled. This does not happen at random. You could be next.

  • You know that all the cells of your body are replaced an average of 10 times per year. Your skin can be completely renewed every 5 or 6 weeks. Do you know how you keep your tattoos? No – You don’t. How can you pretend to explore the universe when you don’t understand something simple about your own body? You will never be able to explore the universe if you cannot think at the level of a solar system or the level of a galaxy.

  • As you venture to other stars, you will find that your thinking needs improvement. That’s normal. Don’t let that discourage you.  So far, you tended to cut everything into small pieces and ignore the connection between the pieces. That’s not the best way to get acquainted with the vast universe.  To give a name to an object is to dissociate it from the rest of the world.  Take one of your trees, for instance, and transplant it on another planet. Your tree will die. To survive, your tree needs nutrients from the soil and light from the sun and air to breathe. You cannot dissociate your trees from your planet. You have to stop cutting everything into little pieces and ignore the link between the pieces..

  • On Earth, you separate Time and Space.  At the level of a solar system, they are combined like you combine oxygen and hydrogen to make water. Keep in mind that you are coming out of planet Earth like people get out of jail. To you, it is even worse. You were born in that jail. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

  • Your many problems have something in common: You are not conscious of the solution. Your problem is that your consciousness is too limited. When I look at any of your wars from planet Mars, I cannot understand why those people keep killing each other.  They could both turn around and go back home. The solution is simple, but they are not conscious of it. Many of your problems could be solved with a small increase in your level of consciousness.

  • The atoms of your body keep circulating between trees, water, mountains, the wind and the plants. They make you part of planet Earth. By getting your soul associated with your body, you also get your soul associated with the whole material world. You are in the Earth, and the Earth is in you.

  • Your car is made of thousands of pieces that can be replaced.  Nature does not work that way.  Your body was not made by assembling bones, muscles and grey matter. It was made from a cell feeding on its environment. You will have to learn to follow Nature. Someday you may be able to create a seed and let it grow into a robot that will feed on its environment?

  • Are you serious about helping planet Earth?  Without you, planet earth would have a blue sky, clear water and no dumps. A little paradise! If humans really want to do something to save the Earth, they should get out and move to another planet. There are millions of them at your disposal. There must be one already polluted where you would feel at home. 

  • You are surrounding yourselves with more and more things.  You don’t seem to differentiate between producing food and producing pollutants. When you get an idea, your only guiding principle is “Will it sell”? As long as it makes money, nothing else matters. No feelings attached. This is a consequence of your body pulling you down to the material world. Whatever you do in your material world influences your soul.  Making atomic bombs or biological weapons requires a lot of thinking but no feeling. On the contrary, feelings would get in the way. Thinking needs to be guided by feeling. 

  • You don’t know which food is good for you and which mushroom will poison you. All the animals know what is good for them. You have to catch up.

  • Do you want to live in society, or would you rather be alone? On Mars, we have a caricature of the human being.  It is a guy going to a public place to drink coffee with his laptop. He could drink coffee alone at home, but he wants to be surrounded with people. On the other hand, he wants to protect himself from society. His laptop is his protection. It discourages people from talking to him. After 300 000 years, he still has not made up his mind.

  • You spend a lot of time and effort transporting your bodies. You tried to use horses, but you prefer to use machines such as cars, trains, bicycles, subways, planes, buses…. Have you considered leaving your body wherever it is and traveling only with your soul? That may sound crazy to you, but this is what you are doing every evening when you fall asleep. All you need is a way to consciously do, during the day, what you do, unconsciously, every time you fall asleep. It should not be that difficult!

We, the Martians, have been watching planet Earth for a long time. We have seen that different human species have been on Earth for more than 4 million years.  Mother Nature was not satisfied with the Homo habilis, the Homo Heidelbergensis, the Cro Magnon, the Homo erectus, the Neanderthal and others. They have been dropped.  We, the Martians, are curious to see if the Homo sapiens are going to make it on Earth. If you think that we can help, we are willing to meet you half-way!

What was the reaction of your friends when you told them about love? Keep in mind that your friends are in a dark cave, and you don’t even know, yourself, how you got out of that cave.

Fortunately, there is a way out of our predicament. Our consciousness may be limited, but it can be amplified. We have been working on that problem for a long time already. To love people is to be conscious of them. It is more than being mindful of their presence. It is being conscious of their state of mind. You find this between a mother and her baby. She knows why the baby is crying. No need for words and reasoning. She is conscious of what needs to be done. Between adults, you may not know the details of their past, but you are conscious of the influence that their past had on their soul.

You can get some idea of what an increased consciousness is like by talking to people who have gone through a near-death experience. Many of them have new abilities that they kept after this experience. The most common one is that they know what people around them are thinking. Be careful of what you are thinking if you go to one of their meetings. (There is one every month in most big cities.) If you see a big nose, try to think, “What beautiful hair”. You are swimming in increased consciousness. They may be aware of something about you that you forgot. Search ‘Near Death Experience’ and you will find hundreds of people of all ages who have surprising stories. Most of the time, it happened during surgery. This is not something I would recommend! We say that they lost consciousness. I would rather say that they were not conscious of their physical body. Do we need a physical body to be conscious? This is not on my list of sense organs.

What happened to both of us is that we became conscious of one another. After a big hug, there is not much more to talk about. This is what could help your friends.

15- From Robert to Helena – Critical mass

Helena, I keep thinking of what transformed our relationship. The only explanation I could find comes from the atomic bomb! No mathematics. I promise!

Take a small sphere of radioactive material. The energy generated varies with the volume of the sphere (4/3π R³). The energy lost varies with the surface area (4πr²). As you increase the size of the sphere, the volume increases faster than the surface area. You reach a point where there is more energy generated than energy lost. You have an explosion. This is called “the critical mass.”

Are you still there? Something similar could happen to people. As long as they are separated, nothing much happens. It is only when they get together that they can reach a certain “human critical mass”. The problem is that there may not be enough energy between the two of them to reach that point.

The idea is simple but difficult to believe. Look at the people around you. Each one can generate some love, but not enough to elevate himself to another level. Take two of them at random, and most of the time, their total energy is too small to reach the ‘critical mass’.

Let’s see what could be missing in many people. One possibility is that they are still attached to the material world. They cannot detach themselves from their own body. Most people struggle to make the transition from being a separate individual to becoming half of a couple.

Another possibility is a lack of freedom. Love and freedom come together. When I was a teenager, I was saving my money to buy a record player. Thanks to inflation, the price of the record player increased faster than my savings. It was a race I could not win. Soon after I abandoned any hope, a neighbor bought himself a new record player and gave me the old one. It seemed to me that renouncing reaching a goal in a specific way opens the possibility that it can be reached another way. By detaching myself from using my savings, I introduced freedom into the system. That opened new possibilities.

The general idea is that many people are still prisoners in Plato’s cave. The more knowledge they acquire in the material world, the more they become prisoners of that knowledge. It is more difficult for a surgeon to change professions than it is for a blue-collar worker.

Before you dismiss my critical mass as a crazy idea, let me tell you how it can also be found in human history. The homo sapiens have been on Planet Earth for more than 300,000 years. How come nothing much has happened until the last two centuries? How come the steam engine, the planes, GPS, the computers, and AI did not appear 100 000 years ago? The answer could be that humans were dispersed on the surface of the Earth. There was too much distance between them. The invention of agriculture allowed people to move to cities. Over the past 200 years, the population of cities has continued to increase. A computer is composed of millions of simple ideas contributed by millions of different people. The computer made the internet possible, which further enhanced communication between individuals. More and more brains are becoming increasingly interconnected. That should lead to human beings achieving their critical mass and a higher level of consciousness.

Helena, I predict that more and more people will find their puberty of the soul together.

I would go even further. We will become conscious that Homo sapiens is the seventh stage of human evolution. It is not a question of selecting one race or one religion. Dividing the world’s population into countries fighting one another does not make sense. Either the seventh attempt of Homo sapiens will succeed, or they will disappear from the Earth’s surface like the dinosaurs.

Instead of fighting one another, we’d better unite and look for a way to get out of Plato’s cave. The love between two human beings is pointing in the right direction.
