and we thought they were primative

Here is an interesting thought. Imagine if you will, mankind has the meaning of life exactly backwards. The biblical metaphor of eve tasting the apple removing innocence is in fact related to mankind becoming preoccupied with the physical nature of body, i.e. look at the 7 sins. lets say for one moment that instead of sleep being the time to re-charge our batteries it is in fact the wakeful time that is to be used as such, the wakeful moments to eat, recharging the body. During wakeful moments to reflect and experience how the consciousness reacts in this "new environment". During restful moments of sleep or meditation time is meant to be explored in the timeless nature of consciousness which all other dimensions posses, (dreams are timeless). If during this time, we grow to master our consciousness in this timeless stream of eternity and master the integration of both form and its recognition of self and the recognition of self without form, then life indeed becomes eternal, and if mastered properly so does the form.Instead we go to work, fight our wars, and commit the 7 sins in the name of pleasure.hell,consciousness which does not realize self, becomes consciousness of earth, to be turned to rock, washed to the sea, slipped between the plates, ground to sand, back to the molten state to be formed once again to rock. HELL.From what I see from mankind's methods and meaning to life, I will put my odds on We having it totally backwards. In the name of immediate pleasure we miss on the eternal harmony, life, timeless, never now for now does not exist but instead always what is about to be. We must learn how not to react to what has just happened, instead we must embrace all that is about to be.
