From the dawn of time the occasional enlightened being has pointed out that the ordinary individual lives in a dream. This dream world of illusion is the natural state of any animal. In this state Transcendental Awareness is wholly absorbed in the animal mind and suspects no potential state of existence other than the one in which it finds its self. The mind of this creature exists in a state of innocence, but its innocence is that of a lunatic. In pastoral times this is relatively harmless.
Enlightenment emerges naturally from the cocoon of animal mind by a spontaneous process of evolution: it always has, and it always will. The problem is that the proliferation of human progeny and the exponential advances of technology have created situation where the freewheeling animal mind of man will be the end of us all. By the time the obvious becomes apparent to the hopelessly occluded those left of us will be looking out on a planet ravaged beyond repair. Spiritual infants are soiling the nest without restraint, and are rather pleased with themselves.
The answers are simple, but the animal mind is complex.
God help us.
