The Future of Humanity, An approach to the survival of our Species

Recently during an Acid Trip and good friend of mine and I had a conversation about society, it's past, and it's future.

The conclusion we came to in our conversation is this;

What if the 'answer' humanity has always been searching for rather it be through religion, psychedelics ect. is to ascend from this plant to insure the survival of our species past the life-span of the Earth and Sun.

It is a fact that one day the Sun will 'die', because it is a star, and that is part of a stars life. In turn the Earth will also 'die', but that doesn't mean that our precious species has to die does it? Space travel may sound farfetched so some, but it isn't as far-fetched as some might think.

Maybe this is the big answer to Humanity and the fact that we are the only Cognitive Species of it's kind as far as we can tell? Maybe there are other cognitive species elsewhere in the universe who have realized that they can also travel in space and survive beyond the life of their planets? That explains UFOs or whatever the strange lights in the sky are that i've seen and I'm sure some of you have too.

But!!!!! In order for a cognitive species to ascend beyond their planet and ensure the survival of the species they need to learn how to work as one to create a peaceful and healthy society without hatred between people due to race, religion, war, ect. The kind of society that we all long for, a 'Utopia' if you will in order to start the work at hand, (Learning the ways of space/time travel)

THE FACT IS THAT LIFE ON THIS PLANET IS WORKING FOR SOME REASON. IT WORKING AND WORKING WELL. PERHAPS THE REASON IT IS WORKING IS DEEPER THAN RELIGION AND PERSONAL ENJOYMENT. PERHAPS THIS IS THE ANSWER TO LIFE.

Questions and Comments would be really appreciated, I REALLY want to see what others think of this Off-the-wall idea.

 

I don't think you are so off the wall.

I think one of the reasons that governments have space programs is partly for survival of our species.

There are things happening with the earth that people can't control. I think science is working very hard to figure something out for the earth as an organism. There is a lot of stuff out in space that we don't really know what it is.

The survival instinct is very strong in humans. I think the unifying objective of humanity is to survive and this is what the rest of the universe will assist us with.

 

It is very important for us to survive, however we must not lose what makes us human in our endeavor to further ourselves.


Treat every man as if he were your brother, and every woman as if she were your mother, except for your wife.

Thanks for the comments, and Hoatzin thanks for the recommendation, I just ordered it off Amazon

We talked alot about that too, we both felt in order for the people of Earth to ascend from the planet they must first create a peaceful 'socialist' type of world government that the people control.

 

It is vanity and foolishness to think or assume that we are the only life to grace the cosmos. IN OUR ARROGANCE WE DOOM OUR EXSISTENCE AND THE EXSISTENCE OF THIS PLANET. The question to ask is, Can we as a race of beings, love ourselves enough to grow as this planet does and develop the intellect to to see our beings develop to the point of growth that will see us to our next home? Or will we Get HELP?

 

I am not sure how a socialist government ran by the people would work.
