The universe you and I are living in is a far more novel and complicated place t hen the early

Universe was. So , I see the cosmos if you will as a kind of novel ty-producing engine , a kind of machine which produces complexity in all realms - physical , chemical , social etc and then uses that achieved level of complexi ty as the platform for further complexity. The purpose of being human is to comp lexify reality even more to hand on a more diverse m more complicated more multi phasic Universe to our children we can actually appreciate for the first time our circumstance, and our circums tance is awe inspiring. I mean, we about to take the step out of matter The planet is on a collision course with the most profound event it's possible t o imagine. The freeing of organic life from the chrysalis of matter. For a billion years th ere's been life on this planet but never life that could step outside of matter. But this is obviously what's in the cards and we are privileged to be central t o that [!pauses for watch chime!] event. What history is, is the 25 thousand year transition zone. Before you enter the z one you're an animal. After you leave the zone you're a god.

If my ideas seem strange to someone, I ask them, Can you imagine this planet in 500 years can you imagine this planet in a 1000 years? No, no one can imagine tha t because processes are now in play which so totally rewrite the script that no one can imagine

This is what it's like when a species prepares to depart for the stars. You don't depart for the stars under calm and orderly conditions; it's a fire in a madhou se, and that's what we have, the fire in the madhouse at the end of time. This i s what it's like when a species prepares to move on to the next dimension. The e ntire destiny of all life on the planet is tied up in this; we are not acting fo r ourselves, or from ourselves; we happen to be the point species on a transform ation that will affect every living organism on this planet at its conclusion.
