Hello Jan, Just eared on the radio today, that they had found neurons that reproduce themselves, in the neocortex of monkeys, when there imagination is pushed in a non stressful environment, in other words when they can play. A couple of months ago, i think the scientific american, talked about research going into the same direction made on rats. Anyway, "transform work into play", this old saying seems to be new again. > Wouldn't it be likely that the evolution of a species stops as > soon as it becomes possible to know the "underlying" Nature of > everything?

Interestingly, a Tibetan lama once mentioned the > existence of a prediction, adulthood starting at age 4... The study of Maurice Maeterlinck, already 75 years ago, of ants, bees and other insect, brings a nice projection or image of what can be such a society where your function is already determined as a larva, or in the womb of a super unique Mother, or like the Tibetan Lama says at 4. Another way to see it, is as the cells in your body, where an individual in such a society becomes the "cell" of another body, in this evolutionary process. The evolution of ants seems to have stop over who knows how many years, but they are still there. The human race is no more than one second in the life span of the ant race on this planet. And the ant race no more than one second in the life span of the solar system. Some mathematician, in complex system analysis. And looking in the stability nature seems to want to maintain as a possible perspective to manifest consciousness from, say that a stable ratio in size for an organism close to us, would be around 1 foot in diameter (maybe a mix over time between ants and us, who knows), and the next step up, would be around 1 mile in diameter (the size of a town for those strange little creatures) - where the next step up is a solar sytem, and the the one below, DNA) Maybe all this is simply a projection from the system one identifies with, and all is possible for one who as the real abilities to chose, or at least observe, or at least live deeply, the system in which it lives. I enjoy living in the Body of Buddha, sometimes, also. Which body defines me? would someone ask me... I have no idea... Evolution, evolution you are beautiful.
