The Road Foreword

     The Road Foreword

     All men; that is a human, sentient male; can do something they never believed was possible and always desired to do.  They desired to do it so desperately that it drove them crazy, derailed our sentient state, and wrecked any hope of humanity becoming what Nature always intended:  a loving, emotionally stable, rational, sentient race that respects itself instead of constantly tearing itself down and relying on fictions.  "Omigoodness, we're human" rather than "We're only human" is the difference.

     We are so close to educating the heart that it hurts.

     The long answer is a bit more complicated. 

  We are not complete until men share equally with women.  There is only one way that happens.  If you are just reading this, you have no idea what I am talking about and how important it is.  Prepare yourself for a journey to somewhere you never expected but always desired.

        Conscious evolution

Conscious adaptation to circumstances is how a sentient race evolves itself.  Humanity is liberated by sentient instincts, the ability to comprehend so much more than an animal.  

    Sentient instincts are all about honesty and clarity.  We seek truth and, yet, in one case, we have hid from the truth.  We have shunted a critical realization to the subconscious.

Conscious evolution is all about adaptation to sentient realizations.  The subconscious is where we have put those sentient realizations that we have not been willing to confront.

    We will be truly sentient when we can gather our thoughts as a species and adapt to what our sentience makes crystal clear.  A stable emotional environment (not an automaton, not Mr. Spock, and not Pavlov's Dog) is required.

This is a story about what liberates both the mind and the heart, in that order, so that we can think and live consciously without pandering to the animal.
