We are at a point where we must influence our own evolution. Change is now occurring at a very rapid pace compared to all previous history. This rapid change is unsustainable & even destructive. A major shift is needed to build the kind of world we want and the kind of people we need to build it.

Today's AI computers may soon exceed the intelligence of humans (in problem solving capabilities) but they will never be conscious (have an inner life) and have "experiences" or "to feel like something". They do not have "causal power" in and of themselves. Only creatures with a brain can do that.

See what Dr. Edgar Mitchell Apollo 14 astronaut and 6th man to walk on the moon thought about planet earth when viewed from space in the neighborhood of the moon:

Our consciousness is how we know the external world through our perceptual senses like sight, sound, touch, etc., and internally, through our bodily sensations, thoughts, feelings and intuitive insights. So, if we want to understand the world and ourselves, we better understand our consciousness.

We live in a planetary ecosystem and our ancestors evolved from it and it still sustains all living creatures on our planet. The path to sustainability requires that we also must live in harmony with our environment less we destroy ourselves and all other creatures with which we share this earth.

Wholeness is a journey towards achieving a state of complete balance and harmony within oneself and the larger world. It involves the unification of various aspects of one's life (body, mind and spirit) to create a holistic existence within oneself, with others and in the larger environment.
