Well, that’s a whole rabbit hole in of itself … about our history and whether we are truly better off than our ancestors.
I read the modern consensus. But, more and more things are proving that most of the time, it’s ego-stroking tosh.
Like the whole clovis first conundrum.
I ultimately think it doesn’t matter.
It’s too complex to intellectualize from my view point. Either completely involved motion, or absolute stillness can serve as glimpses into that state of “being?”. However, as an individual, an identity, I can’t describe it. Because it is not truly you or me.
Our egos will beg the question of whether there is any value in it if we cannot “personally” approach it.
And I think that’s the whole point, it creates us unlike itself to better understand what it is “not”, not necessarily what it “is”.
But then again, who really knows. As egos, we are attached to “control”, and “understanding” is a form of it.
A conversation cannot occur without egos stepping in, because a conversation presumes separateness.
In our “human” state of being, we can only “approach” infinity.
I don’t think it’s something that can be “taught”. You can plant a seed from that space, but it’s ultimately up to the individual to decide if they truly want to align with something “more”.
