How we enable ourselves

Hubble telescope - Deep Space

We learn to observe more and more of the world we inhabit, learn to overcome obstacles and to continuously improve our mental and physical capabilities. We reach a threshold where we reveal a way to drastically change our nature, and so we have enabled ourselves as the moderator of our own evolution. We set the course and the pace. If we will it, we can become superhuman, ie. we will be superior compared to today's standard of being human. Technology will allow us to embrace our potential, it will enable us. It will be unlike anything we have ever seen, because we have nowhere in nature to observe this phenomenon. This is because we are the only ones able to explore it. We are the race destined to exceed our observed potential. We reach beyond our capabilities, we always have.

When we let ourselves, life as we live it will become the old ways, like back in the old days. We have changed our daily routine more in the past hundred years than the rest of time combined. The pace of change will not abate, it will increase. We will reveal new abilities within ourselves, that will allow us to reveal new technologies and advances that will further enable new abilities and opportunities. This is the nature of our evolution. It is no longer something that controls the changes within us, evolution is now what we ourselves decide to improve. Never before have we been able to interfere with our biology, and never before have we been able to improve our biology by introducing technology and creating symbiosis between man and machine. We are on a threshold. Past it we will find a new race, one that is enlightened in the ways of science and technology, one that is capable in ways we today are unable to imagine.

Once we have reached the edges of our potential as a race, a new door will open up. We will be able to broadcast the fact that we are ready for more. That we are capable of handling anything. Only then will the rest of the universe reveal it's presence. We will not discover them, they will open their doors and invite us in, for we will finally be ready. They will have been watching us for a long time, waiting for us to be ready, just as they are waiting for several other races to close the evolutionary gap. There can be no such gap when we introduce ourselves, because that will lead to one or the other's struggle to close said gap, without the given race being ready for such a change. Evolution might be in our own hands, but a part of the process is our own ability to hold back and let ourselves become ready for it, before we embrace it. Change can come fast, but not over night. This is why they are waiting. Waiting for us to level the playing field.

Maybe there's an intergalactic betting system on which race will reach their potential first. I wonder if we're winning. Maybe getting there first shouldn't be the goal. Someone once said life isn't a destination, it's a journey. Maybe they're having bets on how interesting our journey will be. I'd like us to win that one.
