    About this ebook

    From the moment of birth, and perhaps before, we gather experiences. Our experiences define us and make us who we are. They are good or bad, ones we want to remember and ones we never wish to repeat. Through them, we grow and evolve, developing our abilities to be active and to feel and think. We take all this as a given, never questioning how it happenshow we create experience.

    KISSa well-known acronym that stands for keep it simple, stupidexplores how we, as sentient beings, create ourselves. Our starting point is everything we personally and collectively inherit, including our physical makeup, nationality, culture, and knowledge. We also have the ability to accept, develop, or change our inheritance as we evolve, but we can only do this through an understanding of how our ongoing creations, including ourselves, arise out of sensing. Just as we take in air, food, and water to create and maintain healthy physical bodies, we take in our world through our senses. This is how we become aware, vibrant beings.

    As humans, we have greater powers and abilities to create experience beyond just materialistic assessment. We are much more than our bodies. We have the ability to create conscious superior beings for the benefit of all so long as we understand how to do so, and this study explores the way.

      Acknowledgements

      I cannot stipulate whom I should acknowledge. At first I thought it a long difficult list to make as I tried to be specific and inclusive. The obvious is to thank family, friends, and significant people in my life, but the nature of my writing is such that I have to begin at the very beginning. It is simple. I have first to acknowledge the most important being—the earth, for without her I could not exist. She is the one that feeds, nurtures, and teaches me. My incarnation now is because she is here. I am gathering my experiences from her and from all who have been and are connected to her. She is the reason I am able to live as an incarnated being on earth. All ancestors, my personal forebears, my parents, siblings, friends, teachers, authors, artists, scientists, and acquaintances have contributed to the creation of my personal experiences. I have received a rich legacy of discovery from all contributing to my evolution, and I am fortunate enough to be travelling a pathway of exploration leading me to my simple understanding. I want to personally thank and acknowledge all who have journeyed with me in the past and in the present.

      Preface

      I am in my seventieth year now. I consider myself an old crone. Whether or not I am a wise old crone remains to be seen, but I have gathered enough experience and knowledge to enable me to write the following for your consideration.

      I have four children, all grown well into adulthood now, and I am blessed with three grandchildren. I can tell you much, much more about myself; however, my personal stories would only be interesting to some, and telling a story is not my intention.

      We gather stories just through living, and all of us can relate beautiful, horrific, interesting, and profound events that have happened in our lives; yet, underlying every story is the truth of who we are, who we have created from our modest beginnings, at birth, and who we would like to be. In our storytelling we talk about good and bad experiences that affect our physical health, our emotional happiness, our moods, our thinking, and our behaviour, but this is not the beginning in the process of our becoming. How do we actually form our experiences and create ourselves to even tell a story?

      If we can really understand our own development, realising how we have gathered our strengths and weaknesses, we can have a better understanding not only of self but also of all human beings. We can improve and change ourselves, parent better, and teach, enabling us all to reach potentials without the struggles many now face. We all benefit.

      I believe if we can recognise and identify with the simple concepts I have outlined, we will be able to create ourselves more consciously. When we understand ourselves sufficiently to explore possibilities, we become more than we are. This is our evolution.

      Each of the following sections could provide the subject of a complete book, but I just sketch pictures for you to consider, to discuss, and to enlarge upon. My intention is that you enjoy and examine my ideas and share with others to challenge and question everything I have written.

      Beginning

      What a magical world we have created. We can fly to the moon and place robots on Mars. We receive information and entertainment through television, the Internet, and mobile phones, and we can use 3D printers to materialise our computerised designs. We obtain news as it happens and can travel the world via Skype. We use any number of household appliances and can feed ourselves instantly from packets buying fast food. We build mechanical devices to help the disabled and can use implants or replacements for most parts of our bodies. We can even rearrange our bodies as we wish, testing and measuring our health. We have research laboratories worldwide working to find cures for everything. We strive to develop our abilities further to create more ease of living and ever greater discoveries. We spend billions attempting to correct and eliminate anything that creates our difficulties.

      The list is ever-increasing, and I am sure we can add to it. In the history of mankind, have we ever been so clever?

      However, we have to ask ourselves, Are we really evolving?

      Are the religious crusades of the past really still raging as we see people fighting and killing each other for their beliefs? Examples are wars throughout the world and racism.

      Is education reduced to being governed by paper evidence of our children’s achievements? The individual needs and abilities of children are ignored as teachers are controlled by the system.

      Why are we so ruled by money and material possessions, such as excessive wages paid to a few? Stock exchanges worldwide are obsessively monitored every second.

      Why are 25 per cent of us predicted to develop cancer? (This percentage increases as I write.) Why are the numbers regarding heart disease and diabetes reaching extraordinary proportions because of lifestyle choices and demands? Why daily is there more and more evidence of people suffering neurological and mental disorders (e.g., depression and suicide)? Why are the numbers of homeless people increasing? Is the answer isolation? Why are we not eliminating the starving population? Greed? Why have we become so addicted to and obsessed with drugs, alcohol, food, TV, physical prowess, and technology?

      Why aren’t we creating more freedom and happiness for humanity?

      These unanswered questions and many more are evidence that something is radically wrong, and perhaps we are not as clever as we think we are. So what is happening, and what are we actually doing?

      I believe we live in an amazing technologically controlled world fed through science but dominated by matter, and as we focus on the physical to such an extent, we are in danger of losing ourselves. Most of our discoveries and most research now are about controlling substance. Reread the first paragraph! As we strive to dominate everything, we run the risk of becoming robotised, governed, and not free. Every one of us is an individual, but when we are ruled by stuff, we can lose our uniqueness and ability to actually progress into freedom.

      In our very becoming, we grow and evolve, which creates experiences; however, we cannot achieve this unless we activate our senses.
