Upgrading the Biological Operating Systems of Future Generations

Book 1: The External Universe | Chapter 1.6 | 29 July 2020

Evolution is the most essential component of Janthopoyism's teachings when it comes to the External Universe.

Conflict that is thrust upon Life causes data to be passed down through generations, altering their genetic make-up to better equip them to survive in ever-changing environments. If a species faces no regular enemies, it falls stagnant on the evolutionary chain. If a species is suddenly under threat, its biology is forced to adapt quickly or perish.

This type of progression also happens in real-time with information traded, skills learned, cultural influence etc. It is commonly confused as a nature vs. nurture debate when these are actually the same. The nurture and the reaction to said nurture is always a result of natural evolution.

Everything is an extension of this evolution without fail, and it is impossible for anything to be unnatural. People tend to exclusively associate "natural" concepts with the "nature" of the Earth. However, nature is a universal miracle that preexists Earth, one that we evolved with as part of the Universe, just like everything else. Humans are not a plague to the planet, as some say. We are a hyper-exciting element of it, for better and for worse.

"Everything is as it should be. Do you think the Universe made a mistake? Do you think you know more about the evolution of the cosmos than the Cosmos itself? Get over your ego, man!" ― Janthopoyism Proverb

If the once primitive intelligence of Homo sapiens leapt forward for reasons of reproduction or diet or even alien intervention, this was still the natural evolution of the Universe. Tearing down forests to build pollution factories or plundering ecosystems for leisurely conveniences does seem unnatural, but this is the direction we evolved in from this same nature, for we are also nature. Nature could very well have designed itself as a gradual self-destructing entity―we do not know.

Regardless, our awareness of these damaging conflicts has risen immensely in recent years, and many oppose the devastation. Negative conversations may appear abruptly and with prevalence, but there is hope simply because these conversations are happening whatsoever. Mere decades ago, concerns surrounding certain topics were but whispers between the few. Now, people push back with stronger momentum than ever before, using a brand-new form of conflict against the conflict that harms our environment and ourselves. So on and on we go, knowing that even if we solved the climate crisis, there would be another crisis to take its place. This is by order of the Cosmos as an automated system to maintain conflict.

Thousands upon thousands of years BC, the Vedic scripture taught terms like Mahat (the Universal Cosmic Mind) and Jnana (the knowledge from reality's total experience carried into us via spirit). In 1916, Carl Jung coined the phrase collective unconscious to propose a transmission of mental information down our transformative timeline. Examples that support his hypothesis include:

• The mother-child/father-child relationship
• The shared understanding of loneliness (even if only endured alone)
• And common sleepy-dreams (like when your teeth drop out or you run in slow-motion)

In 1922, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin dropped the title noosphere to define an evolutionary development led by consciousness and interpersonal relationships. These ideas suggest that we are distributing not only biological data through evolution but detailed thoughts too. Please also note that the term “noosphere” is derived from the Greek Nous, which is defined by the 3 CE religion Neoplatonism as the intellect of God thinking the Cosmos into existence.

Hence Janthopoyism teaches that these advances are achieved by what many comprehend as a Universal Mind/Consciousness. We bundle this term into what makes up the Universal Energy. This unit isn't necessarily a "thinking" being (although it's not necessarily not one) but rather a library that records every action and thought, collecting the entirety of experience in a central place, expanding across the infinity of the Universe, extending back to the beginning. It's like the internet, except far beyond a human-only level, remembering every vibration that has ever existed throughout time, space, everything, everything, everything.

Whatever is considered alive (i.e. grows older, heals, etc.) contributes to this pool of information (and we could argue that every electron is alive). Each one of us passes data through our experiences so that the Universe can use it to evolve faster and better and further into the future. And because this Life Electricity is always the same material, the collected data is distributed amongst every piece of the overall picture. That is why ecological communities of seemingly unrelated organisms develop separately and yet depend on one another for survival.

The animal kingdom provides some curious examples suggesting that everything emerged from (and is directly connected to) the evolving Universe. Grazing cattle appear to position their bodies in a north-south magnetic alignment and no one knows why. This magnetic-based behaviour is known as magnetoreception and is found in a diverse array of creatures (including molluscs, insects, foxes, and rodents) but is most prevalent in birds, such as homing pigeons and the billions of Aves classes that migrate seasonally. Another link between species can be observed in both elephants and chimpanzees performing funeral rites for their dead, a practice that human cultures developed independently around the globe so many millennia ago.

Stranger still is what's referred to as the hundredth monkey effect. The phenomenon was named in 1958 when a troop of Kōjima monkeys started washing the dirt off their sweet potatoes in a river. Soon after, monkeys living on a far-removed island adopted the same procedure without any possible visual cues from the former. This observation indicates that after a certain number of minds become aware of something, other minds automatically tune in to the same frequency.

Interestingly, an earlier 1920 Harvard study by William McDougall arrived at a similar conclusion. McDougall subjected rats to an identical water maze, generation after generation, and sure enough each new age group completed the circuit quicker. This examination implies that rodents retain ancestral learning at birth.

The belief in inherent telepathic-like interconnective memory is often called "morphic resonance" (Rupert Sheldrake, 1981), and studies are not limited to animals. Monica England made a fascinating human-related discovery in 1991, known as the crossword puzzle phenomenon. She demonstrated that people who tackled an Evening Standard crossword puzzle ten days after initial publication consistently knew 5% more answers than those who attempted it on the morning of release. These findings were congruent with McDougall's rat data, except with an even faster transfer of familiarity.

As you would expect, the scientific community has expressed great reluctance towards such hypotheses. Numerous scientists reject the collective conscious viewpoint, performing experiments that strive to contradict these revelations. Their intent to debunk does not surprise us, as it is yet another case of confirmation bias at work in either direction. The seeker will forever be more inclined to find evidence supporting what they believe.

However, let us take a moment to contemplate the quantum entanglement physical occurrence, which is 100% accepted by quantum mechanic scholars thanks to research done by Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrödinger and, perhaps most importantly, John Stewart Bell. In simplified language, it proves that if we observe paired particles at separated locations, even light-years apart, they communicate by reflecting opposite properties instantaneously. This measurement alone confirms that data traded between electrons is not bound by the laws of space as we understand them. Spooky, right? So spooky, in fact, that Einstein officially referred to the curiosity as "Spooky Action at a Distance".

Following this line of reflection, could it be possible for a flower on Earth to transfer awareness to a hypothetical alien worm born galaxies away? If the Universal Consciousness exists and a flower's comprehension of growth proved useful to the worm's progression, that would be a logical universal evolutionary system, would it not? In theory, of course. Everything in theory.

But considering the mounting references provided, it seems rational to consider the Universal Energy as a potential process that collects knowledge and then uses said knowledge to evolve through infinite means, including manifested materials such as you and I. We are a very tiny part of this story. But we are a crucial part all the same, like how removing the tiniest cog in a gigantic clock jeopardises its overarching operation.

These ideas are nothing new in philosophical, biological, and quantum mechanical debates. However, one particular notion is much less discussed, let alone acknowledged by scientific studies, yet we at Janthopoyism wholeheartedly agree on its possibility.

It's that the Universal Mind is available for you to access right now.
