I was watching Jordan Peterson’s latest
Q & A and one of the questions asked was “What new wisdom have you acquired in the past few months that you want to share with us?“
I’ve transcribed the relevant portions below and I really like his take on the matter, which I think sort of ties into the discussion at hand. Further comments below.
What stood out in particular is the part when he says
“because when you place yourself in challenging situations, let's say the abyss is the archetype of the ultimately challenging situation, then you turn on new genes in your nervous system and in your body that code for new proteins and you build new structures inside of you.”
Considering what we are learning about genes and DNA, and the ‘intelligence’ of evolution, I think what he is saying is quite profound. We know that everything from diet to environment can cause epigenetic changes in our DNA. Not only that but if even a soul can, as the C’s
mention, then this adds a new dimension to the ‘designer’ aspect that’s talked about in Evolution 2.0! (To clarify, not that we were responsible for the ‘original code’ but that we can be the driver/programmer in some respects).
I think about what it means for all of humanity to ‘evolve’ and the more I think about it, I can’t see but few doing that, whether it is physically or spiritually. Not because of the state of the world – but because of the challenge involved. At this stage it seems like the end of the road for physical evolution. So what’s left but consciousness? It does fit with the idea that 4D is next but that’s a tall order whether you are STS or STO inclined (I think the ratios were like 99% STS and 51% STO, neither of which seem 'easy' to do). The C’s offer guidance on how to align oneself with STO but it doesn’t mean that “poof” you will find yourself there all of a sudden. There is still a lot of groundwork that needs to be done and if not in this life, then the next (assuming that the next life isn’t as a caveman amidst rubble and glowing red sky)
But to get back to Peterson – it seems to me part of this whole deal here is that
facing the full terror of life is the path to evolution. From what I understand, the main driver of evolution is stress that forces adaptations. No stress – no point in adapting. A system that has achieved some sort of homeostasis wants to maintain that and won’t see the need to drive changes, especially on a genetic level. About 2% of our DNA codes for protein – the rest, non coding DNA, is even more complex, and it is still not fully understood but we know that it plays a role in encoding RNA and in signaling gene expression. More generally, we could say that information is exchanged and now we’re back to information theory.
So this process - the knowledge input, the increasing of receivership capability, tribal 'unity' - are what allow our “mind through central nervous system connection to higher levels” to extract information residing at those higher levels. This is also perhaps facilitated by having/receiving additional ‘strands’ – more strands, more ‘capacity’ in terms of ‘data’ storage which means more available with which to utilize. There’s a very nuts and bolts way to look at it using Claude Shannon’s theorem about
capacity – that “one cannot transmit data at a rate greater than the channel capacity
C; at most
C bits per seconds will get through. Conversely, so long as one transmits at a rate
R less than or
equal to the channel capacity, one may have as few errors as desired. This result is possible by appropriate coding.”
This is interesting – as one increases ‘channel capacity’ more data can be transmitted. I would also say the converse applies in that more data can be received. However there seems to be a limit in that transmission has to be less than or equal to capacity in order to reduce error, or perhaps in this case ‘noise’. And ‘appropriate coding’ can be thought of appropriate genetic coding. Our DNA seems to be a key factor in all of this as it’s our basic interface between physicality and spirituality. Soul marries with genetics – soul modifies genetics to accommodate its growth, and more specifically awareness. What's the biggest thing separating 3D and 4D? It's the exponential jump in one's level of awareness.
If facing the ‘abyss’,
voluntarily, is the means through which we have in order to get the experience and knowledge necessary to bring about these changes, then it seems like we’re at the right place at the right time.
I’ll close with this comment from Laura back in 1995. Although it was in reference to the discussion with Santilli, I think it's apropos to what's going on now as well:
Anyway, just some thoughts that came to mind...fwiw
