Hello my MoQ friends,
This Mystic thread is thick and well wound. I'm not sure if this winds
into the thread well or not, but here it comes anyway. I am concerned
that we may not possess enough DQ relative to SQ to attain a next level
after intellect. In other words if the inorganic is zero, organic is
one, species is two, society is three, intellent is four, is mysticism
possibly the fifth? Can we reach it? Take these three examples for
comparision to us: any parasidic wasp, Formica Formica (fire ants), and
Apis Meleflora (honey bees). Like us humans, their organic chemicals
avoided enthropy and those forces keeping most atoms (in the universe)
from existing as organic molecules-one level of evolution. Just like us
they also enjoy a second level, specieshood. Often the parasitic wasp
interact with memebers of the their own species for mating only, thus
they have not attained a society. The ants and bees, however, have.
Long before our species existed as a species, the ants and bees had
reached the third level. However, I think it is possible to assess how
evolved the ants and bees are relative to each other. As a species the
ants are probably more evolved. They can sustain themselves off a huge
variety of foods, while honey bees must nectar, pollen, water and
propilis. Ants have a higher body mass to lift capacity ratio than
bees. Ants are generally hartier than bees, able to sting anything as
many times as it wishes, while employing their greatest defense against
enemies with certain types of skins forfiets their own lives.
Additionally, the complex biochemistry of the bee is vunerable to a
greater number of diseases than the ant. And the queens of ant colonies
generally outlive honey bee royalty. Although they possess a simple
division of labor in their communities, they barbaric and ineffecient
compaired to their flower loving cousins the bees.
While the ants burrow elaborate tunnel systems in earth, sometimes
mounting huge hills, the bees manange to synthesize carbohydrates for
the purpose of elegant hives. Mechanically, the cells the bees build
provide the greatest strength possible considering the materials used.
They have also accomplished something beautiful, but almost absurd,
(unless threatened) they build and maintain their societies without
harming, in any way, any other species, society or individual living
thing. Not even plants! Even the gentlest Vegan can not say that.
While cruel treatment of those who outlive there usefullness occurs
within the hive, unless threatened, all contact between Mela Flora and
other lifeforms is mutually beneficial.
What is the point of that? I'm not exactly sure, except that their
society has static quality of tremendous magnitude. But they greatly
lack DQ. Their society is so rigidly governned and balanced that
anymove to advance the individual (needed to promote intellectual
evolution) queen, worker or drone could jeopardize the existance of
that society. The static latching of bee hive society is so strong
that if a bee crawled out if its cell at birth with a level of
individual mentality, it would probably be killed by other workers for
good of the hive for its seemingly odd behavior. Degeneracy and
evolution in bee society probably will probably not occur anytime soon.
It seems as though a dynamic pattern of a group of evolutions that
stops at a certain level and makes great progress (in terms of SQ) at
that level without even beginning to develope the next level, runs the
risk of never beginning to grow on the next level.
Specifically, if the next level (regardless of whether it is mysticism
or not) is not stepped into soon enough, and intellectual evolution
continues in a matter that is not condusive to a new form of evolution,
it may never happen at all. How do we fix that? I don't know maybe
y'all can help...
