Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 If we look how evolution develops as holons (wholes that are part of other wholes) then there is a slight possibility that the next step in evolution will be a new holon on a higher level. Holons are for example atoms, molecules, cells and mutli-celled organisms. Molecules are holons (wholes) that are made of atoms which are holons on a lower level. The highest (and therefore most complex) holon on this planet today is the human being. Societies can also be seen as holons, but for me they are not complete holons, but rather inter-holon structures. The next true level of holon is..................a planetary organism! It would be silly if in a human being the left arm would be at war with its right arm. But if we look at our planet as a whole today, then we see that parts of humanity ARE at war with other parts, i.e. the planet is not a complete holon yet, only an embryo for a holon. The next level of holon after planetary organism would be galactic organism. But that would be a holon so advanced that we can probably only speculate about it. We must be careful about using our level of thinking and try to understand what a planetary organism is. It would be like a single cell trying to understand what a human being is. When we use our level of thinking then it is easy that our idea of a planetary consciousness is that it would be some mechanical totalitarian flatland grid of telepathically connected humans; a planet where humans would be mere " cells " working for the greater whole (the planet). My idea is that humans in a planetary organism would be Gaia itself, with a level of intelligence that is way beyond any human today. There may be very advanced forms of telepathic communication going on between humans in a planetary organism, but more or less on a subconscious level. No person would be afraid of another person. That would be like the left arm in a human being being afraid of the right arm in the same body! We can use this speculative idea about planetary organism to examine other things in all of the different areas of research. On a spiritual level, we can for example look at karma, which in relation to the hypothesis depicted above is the effect of incompleteness of a holon in relation to the next higher level of holon. When the planetary organism is born, then the lower holons (humans) will no longer have karma because they will then work in harmony with the higher level of holon (Gaia). al.
