Poem
Greater Consciousness 08/17/2015 Imagine humankind in a future time Could perceive each other’s mind. What would it be like to do this thing And the kind of world it would bring? My insight of what would come about Probably is sorely lacking no doubt. But I will try in rhyme to give my take Of how this will cause a human remake. Could many brains make such a noise That your psyche it destroys? I very much hope and believe it would not Be the result of so much thought. Would politicians have to retire No longer able to lie or conspire? Could other crimes be in the past, Criminals finally eliminated at last? Would freedoms of expression be curtailed By thought police with info very detailed, Or would enlightenment reign so not a single jail Or any form of bureaucracy would prevail? Would war and armies be gone Because humankind can easily get along As misunderstanding and hatred of the other Is not possible when in mind we’re together? Would “I” and “me” disappear overnight As we share all our thoughts forthright, No longer needing the phone or internet Would communications be very intimate? Would science and arts be transformed As all would be well informed Of new ideas and concepts in their spheres Pushing both rapidly toward new frontiers? Could we travel through one another Seeing the worlds beauty would we discover A experience more than just virtual reality Bringing us together as if one “nationality”? Would privacy be dead Every inner thought known unsaid As we evolve and transform Could this become part of a new norm? Could we pickup thoughts of a dog Or would they be sensed as if in a fog? Would our perceptions of all life be different, Much more connected and reverent? Would we continue to speak, And if not would it change our physique, Leaving the world silent, not a word said, Except inside everyone’s head? Imagine us beyond our current ken, Could we finally reach our Zen, Becoming a greater consciousness thru emergence As a result of our mind convergence? Contest: Mystic Rose's NEW FRONTIERS OR GREATER CONSCIOUSNESS Explanation: Three major emergences are known–matter, life and consciousness. Could we reach a fourth emergent state poorly defined as "godhood" in the west or possibly better defined as enlightenment or awakening as in Buddhism?
