Oh heck! 
Okay, my bad. That was leakage from the private messages dialogue, that seems to keep plugging along. Lots of EV, and by what right am I so cynical, where’s my stand on saving the world, and so on.
Stuff that I have not brought over here because it’s irrelevant and redundant.
Thanks for catching me on that.
Back to the main thrust of this discussion and my passionate defense of an evolutionary biological deep-understanding of our origins, being the crucial first base requirement before the rest of our human mysteries can begin to be constructively tackled.
Coming back from a walk with Maddy, and a tour of the newly landscaped ditch, phase one - the excavator’s work. It’ll be interesting to see phase two. I do have new supply of wood to harvest, for future years since it mostly green, still might as well stock up, while I can do it.
Back to the idea echoing in my head as I was coming up the hill to our cabin. That is biological evolution understanding, coupled with appreciating the Physical Reality ~ Human Mind divide (thing I talk about), it feels so important to me, because it does very cleanly resolve the conflict, the conundrum, between our idealized thoughts and the physical reality we can’t escape, and that so often makes a mockery of our thoughts.
It’s not my thing, it’s something that’s been discovered by certain peoples through the ages - but that modern philosophy/theology doesn’t have any room for.
Not that different from the contempt that scientists felt towards women, their baby, and the clues they offer to realizing the sophistication of the new born bundle of miracles. (that at least has improved in recent decades)
Which I’ve come to understand as the little creature’s biological evolutionary self, the one with hundreds of millions of years of learning and development under its belt.
The body knows there’s something inside bursting to get out. From day one, we can observe infants have awareness and intention, even if it only extends to those luscious boobies and sweet talk. Sounds and scents, taste and touch. Every walking moment building on the lessons of the previous days, while the sleeping body processes and grows. In days it starts becoming aware of hands and feet, then recognizing, then learning to manipulate, then coordinate its limbs. The learning and engaging never stops.
Appreciating the evolutionary heart at the core of that infant changes the experience to a whole new level. I have not read this somewhere, it is lessons from my own life. From being there for long periods of those early weeks and months, to periodic visits as they become young people and kids.
The evolutionary core loses dominance, with every new walking hours as the developing little creature learns and grows into its developing body, (those sacred first 100 days are like nothing else for experience consciousness come into being) then increasingly the body’s own cognitive processes develop, we can watch as awareness and Ego starts developing in older babies, then going big in toddlers, and beyond.
The “Apple” of evolution is a creature’s recognition of their sense of self. We see it echoed in every healthy human, and other animals too, within the confines of their particular biology.
