All-encompassing invisible golden threads, reaching down
from beyond, swaying gently back and forth amongst humans. As they meander back
and forth moving about ever so gently and tapping us on our shoulders as a
reminder or perhaps an encouragement to those of us who may have an idea of an
invention that he or she may go ahead and articulate into an actual concept.
Then taking this concept and building it into something that enriches society
and giving us all a chance to use and advance our lives. These are the “Threads
of Evolution.”
From the beginning of time and unknown to us, these golden
threads have oscillated in space, and as progress was underway in all domains
of life, these threads moved closer, sometimes within inches of us, prodding us
and giving us all the necessary signals to take on the dream implanted in our thoughts
and moving us ahead with the ideas and thus the ultimate inventions. And
through the prodding of these golden threads our world slowly shaped and advanced
into what it is today.
Methodically as these golden strings extended and touched
one of us, and that individual acted upon that feeling and created this invention,
he or she brought into the world something that made our lives more fulfilling,
it made our life more meaningful.
Our lives can forever be enriched by the challenges we put
forth. We can create the invention then stand back and marvel at this miracle
and help others take advantage of a better way of doing things.
Like Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell,
Nikola Tesla, Leonardo Da Vinci, Samuel Morse, Archimedes, Guglielmo Marconi,
Isaac Newton, Galileo, Louis Braille, Steve Jobs, Louis Pasteur, The Wright
Brothers, etc...........
Unfortunately, these threads are made up of two colors. Gold
for all the positive and fulfilling results they brought about and gray for all
the negative aspects of our lives through inventors who took the chance to gain
prestige and wealth it was associated with, such as bombs and machinery of mass
destruction.
The golden inventions, could be in the form of music which
touched Mozart or Bach, or any of the thousands of talented musicians when
being touched by these threads could compose and bring into the world the most
magnificent sounds we learned to enjoy and be exalted with because of their
existence.
The first wheel, the first car by Ford, The first airplane
by the Wright brothers. The train, the ship, the bicycle, the horse carriage,
the telescope, the paper copier, the newspaper, the fax, the iphone, the
magnificent new homes that were molded after the early man’s caves, the
telephone, the radio, the television, the submarine for peaceful purposes, the
computer, the satellites that have changed our world in so many ways and so on
and on and on.
These were inventions by brilliant minds who were touched by
these golden strings, who unlike others believed enough in their value and
devoted their lives to bringing these inventions about so they could be heard
or touched or used for one’s enjoyment for their peaceful usage.
Humanity has developed over thousands of years because of
these new thoughts which helped us move forward and on occasions from
inventions that have deterred our growth. Threads in gray that formulated the
guns, bombs, grenades, fighter planes, warships, war designed submarine, the
sniper rifle, the machine gun spewing thousands of rounds of ammunition with a
single tug of the trigger. The chemicals that were borne out of good use and
transformed into a negative one, ultimately finding their use for killing
thousands. The torcher chambers, the poisons, the acid which had been borne of
good intentions that were used unfortunately for negative purposes.
The list goes on and these threads will continue to suspend
from the universe hoping to touch each one of us that feels the need to bring
mankind to a better place.
As the world advances or falls behind because of the gray
threads, we may find that more planets such as ours exist. That we are destined
to seek habitation in various planets in the million years ahead. That we were
given the chance to start here but eventually find ourselves habituating other
planets.
The threads were there all along to assist us. Each person
that was touched needed to decide to move forward with what he or she was given
or squander the idea and remain status quo.
The space station up there is just a tiny hint of what we
have as potential before us. We will continue to look up to individuals who
having been touched by these threads will have been given the opportunity to
make something out of nothing. The threads have helped these individuals accept
the idea and it is left up to them to get started and bring it to fruition.
We’ve known of millions of men and women who felt that
special feeling, that special touch and took the opportunity and created the
inventions. Others received the same information and never acted upon it.
Look around you. Countless individuals with successful
ventures who made something out of nothing while others who later in life
confessed, “Why did I not follow my instincts, why did I not believe enough in
my intuition?” ‘Would have! Could Have!’ Those instincts were related to the
hanging threads, the opportunity was there, but strong enough belief in one’s
instincts were not there.
We depend on the rest of us who are touched by these
threads. Some take up the challenge, while others drop the ball and in so doing
missed out on a chance to be further ahead.
Slowly those with enough belief shall propel us into better
circumstances, a better future. They will forge a new world for us and they
will continue to explore our possibilities.
The strings are magical. They bear the future of what we
deem as the enlightenment of mankind. They will give us all the necessary
breaks that we hope to grab and further our cause making this existence
something to cherish and be void of the mundane things we are straddled with.
There are inventions yet to surface that will change mankind
as a whole.
Already we are seeing the early stages of those inventions
like the flying car, the path that will create energy to run our households,
the solar power created by various gadgets that have already been put in
motion. The prosthetic limbs that make
an amputee nearly whole again and make us feel as part of the rest of
humankind. The innovation of sight that is afforded one who was blind all his
of his or her life. The hearing impaired that were given sound and on and on.
But there is so much still ahead of us. The countless
diseases that are being battled, from cancer to Alzheimer’s and the multitude
of others. The pain of some third world countries inundated with all kinds of
diseases and thus unable to move forward.
We have come so far and have yet so much more to go.
Some of us are devastating this world, through hate, anger,
pollution, religious differences, heads of governments that line their pockets
with riches created through the sweat of the common decent men and women.
We made it to the moon and back, what reason then for us not
to find ourselves on other possible life sustaining places? Why did we stop
dreaming! Where did we go wrong?
There are so many sectors of our society that can achieve
more. We need to pay heed to these hanging threads. We need to see what is the
next invention out there that will propel mankind to the next highland?
There is a reason why those of us that made it into this
world. There is an assignment that we must not turn our backs against. To some
maybe we were just born to enjoy the fruits of this state and then slowly
crumble and die away.
There is a far greater reason for our existence. We are all
assigned tasks and we need to research and find what there is before us.
We have a responsibility to one another to thrust us into
the next stage.
Yes, there will always be detractors. There will always be
Idi Amins, Hitlers, Khadafy’s, Mousillinis, etc. etc. But they are miniscule
against most of the world. We are so far greater in numbers that their individuality
will not deter us.
Gandhi, a diminutive man stood against the British and won
the freedom for his country.
His story and countless more strengthens our resolve. We
must not falter.
We need to listen and be aware. The long hanging strings are
slowly swaying in the wind and touching most of us. We must be aware of this
and act upon any feeling we get towards bettering mankind. We must be ready, we
must be attentive to this call that may rest upon our shoulders and not risk walking
away from an invention or inventions.
Be aware. Be ready. Your string maybe swaying in your
direction.
The inventions still to be created are:
Mankind having the ability to hover a few feet from the
ground and going about their business with the least wear and tear.
Mankind being able to communicate without misunderstandings,
where words spoken equal words understood and no deviation from it.
Seeing each other as equals no matter what our physical
make-up is portrayed.
Different languages spoken but received in the language of
the person listening. Example a German speaks to an Italian, the words
automatically translated into the language of the receiving party. In this case
the Italian language is received.
Planes with wheels jammed and unable to be deployed land on a
third runaway in the airport where a swimming pool with a floating tube takes
the brunt of the weight of the plane and brings the plane to an automatic stop.
When each seat in the plane is converted to a flying
parachute and the ceiling of the plane opens automatically as each seat is
released upward in case of a dire emergency.
We must be cognizant of such possibilities and work hard to
make mankind safer, better and more enjoyable to be a part of.
