The first thought - Selfishness
Some one hundred thousand generations ago
enough neurons made enough connections
between the intuitive and analytical hemispheres
of an expanding primate brain
to allow a quantum leap in consciousness
to take place
An evolving ape
had a conscious thought
as an independent self
and became human
An eye
became an I
and an infant ego
took birth in the cosmos
An observer
apart from Nature
had become conscious
of consciousness itself
Who but God would have thought
that such a small step for man
would have such giant consequences
for all life on Earth

Second thought: Possessiveness
With the infant ego established
assertiveness is the next priority
This is accomplished via possession of objects
I, My and Mine are the watch-words
Taking, clutching and holding are the acts
Thus subject is defined by object

Third thought: Sharing
With self assertion established
via selfish possession of objects
extension of the self can only be accomplished
via encouraging the ethic of sharing
The gratitude and admiration of others
via the act of sharing
expands the ego beyond the narrow self
and begins the connection with the collective self

Fourth Thought: Useful Purpose
With the sharing ethic establsihed
ego seeks societal position
sharing in chores
gradually expands ego
to contemplate on purpose

Any questions, feel free to ask. I rushed that like crazy. No questions and your theory is anything but crazy. Well reasoned and well put rainshine. Nice to hear from you again. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the Psyche-Genetic Theory. which explores the origins and ultimate destiny of conscious evolution. |

You'll have to excuse me for deleting my post. I'm a total perfectionist, and on thinking it through, I decided I didn't want to go splashing rough sloppy versions of my theory around before I've gotten it down in a perfected form. I'm sure that, as an author and a thinker, you can understand.
I would like to take a look at the psyche-genetic theory, but I can't remember whether you had any summation of it, because, being a pauper, I don't want to go buying your book before I've read a rundown of the ideas. Can you point me towards such a summation?
