Feb. 1, 2011
GNR to make a better life and world Humanity is fast approaching an era in which our intelligence g will become increasingly g y merged g with computers and trillions of times more powerful. This will be the dawning of a new civilization, enabling us to transcend our biological limitations. Boundaries blur between human and machine, real and virtual. Human aging and illness are reversed, world hunger and poverty are solved, and we cure death. Live long enough to live forever
Life After the Singularity

The bulk of our experiences will shift from real reality to virtual reality Most of the intelligence of our civilization will ultimately be nonbiological, which by the end of this century will be trillions of trillions of times more powerful than g human intelligence However, this does not imply the end of biological beings, even if thrown from its perch of evolutionary superiority [Kurzweil expects the rise of hybrid humans] Moreover, it is important to note that the nonbiological forms will be derivative of our biological design
In other words, our civilization will remain human, indeed in many ways more exemplary of what we regard as human than it is today, although our understanding d di of f the h term will ill move beyond b d its i strictly biological origins. Ray Kurzweil

We are being propelled into a new century with no plan, no control, no brakes! The only realistic alternative I see is relinquishment: to limit the development of the technologies that are too dangerous, dangerous by limiting our pursuit of certain kinds of knowledge. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.04/joy_pr.html Joys deep concern about the future grew out of Ray Kurzweils Th Age The A of f Spiritual S i i l Machines M hi
Kurzweil: Technology has always been a mixed blessing, bringing us benefits such as longer and healthier lifespans freedom from physical and mental drudgery, spans, drudgery and many novel creative possibilities on the one hand, while introducing new dangers.

The Voice of Technology
The body, this mass of biomolecules, is a machine that acts according to a set of specifiable rules... We are machines, hi as are our spouses, our children, hild and d our dogs... I believe myself and my children all to be mere machines. [Rod Brooks, Director of CS-AIL, MIT.] The neural code is the software whereby the brain t transforms f raw sensory data d t into i t perceptions, ti memories, decisions, and meanings. [John Horgan Science Writer and Author of Rational Mysticism] The more we learn about our brains, the more ways we will ill find fi d t to improve i th them. With With further f th advances, d no part of the brain will be out of bounds for attaching new accessories. In the end, we will find ways to replace every part of the body and brain and thus repair all the defects and flaws that make our lives so brief. Needless to say, in doing so, we'll be making ourselves into machines. [Marvin Minsky, Director of MIT Media Lab]
Will Robots Inherit the Earth? (Scientific American, October 1994)

Minsky: on Soul and Spirit
Many thinkers firmly maintain that machines will never have thoughts like ours, because no matter how we build th them, they'll th 'll always l lack l k some vital it l ingredient. i di t They call this essence by various names--like sentience, consciousness, spirit, or soul. Philosophers write entire books to prove that, because of this deficiency, machines can never feel f l or understand d d the h sorts of f things hi that h people do. However, every proof in each of those books is flawed by assuming, in one way or another, the thing that it purports to prove--the h existence i of f some magical i l spark that has no detectable properties. I have no patience with such arguments. We should not be searching for any single missing part. part.

Police notified who were able to track him down by following the girls instructions and convict him on the evidence she had provided Clues about: the time, the weapon, the place, the clothes he wore, etc. Everything the girl said was true Does the transplanted heart take with it its etheric heart and its memories?

And And No Stone Shall Be Left Unturned Unturned
We are living now in the epoch of evolution that may be called the Mineral Epoch; and our task is to permeate this mineral world through and through with the spirit within us. What y you have done to the mineral world passes p into the very atoms and does not vanish without a trace. Every such atom bears a trace of your spirit and will carry this trace with it. Whether an atom has at some time been in a machine, or has not been in a machine, is not a matter of indifference. The atom itself has undergone change as a result of having once been in a machine machine, and this change that you have wrought in the atom will never again be lost to it.
The Atom as Coagulated Electricity, GA93

Nanotechnologys Relationship to Quantum Physics

What is the Atom?
The atom is nothing but coagulated electricity
Thought itself is composed of the same substance
Before the end of the fifth epoch of culture, science will have reached the stage where man will be able to p penetrate into the atom itself When the similarity of substance between the thought and the atom is once comprehended, the way to get hold of the forces contained in the atom will soon be discovered and then nothing will be inaccessible to certain methods of working It is impossible to conceive what might happen in such circumstances if f mankind k d has h not, by b then, h reached h d selflessness The attainment of selflessness alone will enable humanity to be kept from the brink of destruction

Evolving Human Consciousness
Moreover, through your having changed the atom, through the fact that you have united the spirit in you with the mineral world, a permanent stamp has been made upon the general consciousness of mankind. Everything y g that is performed p without regard g to self, , that is connected with the interests of another, helps to intensify and to strengthen our consciousness in the future struggles for existence.
You build a church for others, not for yourself.
Whatever is achieved in the way of development of consciousness in the world does something to further the evolution of the consciousness of every single being, even if such a being has not actually worked at the development of his own consciousness.

Facing the Future

We must eradicate from the soul all fear and terror of what comes towards Man out of the future. We must acquire serenity in all feelings and sensations about the future. We must look forward with absolute equanimity q y to everything that may come. And we must think only that whatever comes is given to us by a world-directive full of wisdom. It is part of what we must learn in this age, namely, to live out of pure trust, without any security in existence - trust in the ever-present help of the spiritual world. world Truly, nothing else will do if our courage is not to fail us. Rudolf Steiner
The What is sure to happen happen, what matters is the how
What Will Be Our Future World?
What is now around you will become your inner life. You will take into yourselves what is now the mineral kingdom and it will become part of your inner being; similarly the plant kingdom. What surrounds you in nature will become your inner being. Wh t we ourselves What l prepare and d make k ready d in i the world that is what will constitute our future existence. The The measure of what you yourself place into the world is the measure of the consciousness that the world will give back to you. What What we do with the mineral world, with the plant world, with the animal world, and with men, that we shall surely become.
If you found a charitable institution or have contributed something to its foundation, what you have contributed will become an integral part of you. The Atom as Coagulated Electricity, GA93

Attachment of a Second Being

During the course of the Fifth Post-Atlantean epoch, so many problems have lost all inner, vital warmth. The countless tl questions ti which hi h confront f t us when h we study t d Spiritual Science with any depth, simply do not exist for the modern man with his materialistic outlook. A different form of experience will come to the man of modern times. times In his own opinion he knows ever so well; he observes the material world, uses his intellect to establish the interconnections between its phenomena and believes that all its riddles are solved in this way, way never realizing that he is simply groping in a phantasmagoria. But this way of working coarsens and dries up his ether-body, with the ultimate result that the [Ahrimanic] powers, like a second nature, will attach themselves to him. The Balance in the World

Confronting Ahriman

In In an ether ether-body body that has been parched by materialism, Ahriman will be able to dwell. It is our duty to educate children in the future in such a way that they will be competent to understand the spiritual world. The ether-body must be quickened in order that the human being may be able to take his rightful stand, fully cognizant of the nature of the being who stands at his side. If he does not understand the nature of this second being, he will be spellbound by him, fettered to him. We, We, in our age, must get the better of Ahriman by enriching the Ego with the wisdom that can be born only from knowledge and investigation of the spiritual world, i.e. from Spiritual Science.

Love and Jupiter
"Just as wisdom was evolved upon the Moon, in order that it might now be found in all things, so in like manner is love evolving
Love came into existence first in its lowest, its most sensuous form, during the Lemurian period Love will become ever more and more spiritualized, until at last, when the Earth has reached the end of its evolution, the whole of existence will have become pervaded with love as today it is pervaded with wisdom
The Beings who will wander about upon Jupiter, just as human Beings move about upon the Earth, will find love exhaling from all creatures, the love which they themselves, as Human Beings, will have p placed there during g their life upon p the Earth

They will find love in everything just as we today find wisdom everywhere Then human beings will develop love out of their own inner selves in the same way that they are now little by little evolving wisdom The great cosmic love that here upon the Earth is beginning its existence will ill then h permeate all ll things. hi Rudolf Steiner, Gospel of St. John, Hamburg
Wisdom to Cosmic Love to The Father. Manas to Buddhi to Atman Question: As Earth is permeated by Wisdom from the Kyriotetes, what beings will we assist to build a Jupiter permeated by Love?
