We are used to thinking of man as a creature that appeared on Earth as “homo sapiens” about 200 thousand years ago, the reports are many and concordant, and surely this happened and in some way in accordance with the theories of evolutionism, probably descending from primates. This, in my opinion, does not explain the leap made by evolution regarding the intelligence and ability of man to adapt and adapt what surrounds him to his needs. Where was that intelligence before? Without taking anything away from primates, the comparison is unthinkable, in a few tens of thousands of years man learns the use of fire, wheels, livestock and agriculture by changing the face of the natural world. What could have happened? It would perhaps be all more understandable and perhaps even more logical if we thought about the appearance of the planet Earth, its geological development, the appearance of living forms starting with plants and then animals increasingly organized and adapted to live on the earth's surface, as a reseach for "wrappers",  "vehicles" best suited to the appearance of life and its ever more intelligent forms? It could be a plausible hypothesis. But where did these forms, and what then existed, now on Earth, before? This is an interesting question. Where does life and its complex forms reside, including intelligent ones, when they do not use their vehicles on Earth to which we are so accustomed and mentally conformed so that we cannot distinguish between the two?

 

These ideas are not new and have been studied and investigated in depth, let's say that they are not part of our common and generally accepted knowledge. Of course they are relegated to restricted areas that live them with interest and expectations completely different from the norm. I do not want to enter into the discussion of why and how now, I am more interested in continuing to develop according to a logical thread of the hypotheses that can make us better understand the reality as it surrounds us, the values that have linked to it in the centuries of history of man, the direction it has taken from a certain point, but let's go in order.

 

Even in Ancient Greece and even more in the Egypt of the Pharaohs but also among peoples less known in history, it was possible to come across similar ideas, namely that Man, the one with a capital M was not born nor was "created" on the Earth, but it was already incredibly long before an "entity" if not spiritual, at least animical. This entity, when it was not incarnated on Earth, lived in soul worlds which, in very special cases, could have been, and had also been accessible to incarnate men! The worship of ancestors, shamanism, the priestly cults of many cultural communities and many societies then developed centred on the so-called "mysteries" experiences accessible to people prepared for these "encounters" with parallel worlds where it was also possible to trace and experience the " causes ”and the forces responsible for historical events on Earth. Of these secret cults there are fragments of documents they were dedicated, for example, to Isis in Egypt, to the Eleusinian and Orphic mysteries in Ancient Greece, to the mysteries of Bacchus in Ancient Rome.

What I would like to underline is that these ideas, although present to this day, have been literally dominated by the "scientific" interpretation of every possible phenomenon concerning the activity and the soul's constitution of man. We are largely convinced that we are men today mainly because physical bodily beings, even the most abstract activities such as thought or feeling, find their home and explanation starting from the physical organs, the brain, the heart and so on, almost everything is relegated to the functioning of the human physical-chemical "machine". We are born and above all die in this world and our lives conform more in relation to our physical needs than to the need to know and know each other better. 

 

We do not know what thought is, the feeling that also makes us excited, but also time and space, heat, movement, energy in essence we do not know what they are, we study and measure the variations yes, but often we do not know the origin and the way of appearing and interacting with the more purely material world. From a great deal of ignorance our prevailing culture is formed on that basis , we then, decide what is right or wrong for us, for our world, for our society. 

 

But what would our society be like if different ideas and "knowledge" were at its base?
If, for example, it was thought that the consciousness of man is the goal for which this material world was created, which with its "definition" could make friction with human intelligence so that self-awareness was born in him? What values would remain unchanged?

 

That the nature around us is the aid we need for our development, that Life is the substratum, that field that unifies the energies that scientists are looking for? That it is present as a place that "contains" the space-time universe that arises from it?

 

That thought comes as pure energy from it, and received in living images is only translated by the brain into abstract concepts? That our emotions arise from feelings that are the elements of a fluid astral world that pervades and is pervaded by Life and the chemistry of matter?

 

That through a-spatial and a-temporal "music" these worlds take shape like iron filings with the vibrations of the bow? What then would our society be, our culture?

 

That Man and Humanity are the center, purpose and intelligence materially present in this universe? That his soul and spirit are a-spatial and a-temporal, eternal entities? What birth and death essentially concern only his bodily "vehicle"?

 

That every human life is precious and unique in the universe that the development of the consciousness of the whole of Humanity depends on each individual earthly experience? Let's not do to it and don't hurt ourselves, we are much more than we believe! We need to reflect dispassionately on what our earthly experience is:

wouldn't it be time to rewrite the history of Man and Mankind?
