Technology and Consciousness in Our Future
We are not far from living in a drastically different world than what we know today. I predict that the future will mostly be determined by two emerging, yet omnipresent elements. The first being technology and the second consciousness. With the exponential growth and development of new technologies from artificial intelligence and virtual reality to genetic engineering and quantum physics, we are just now beginning to understand the true nature of ourselves and the universe. We are constantly pushing the envelope further and further beyond the scope of our perceived reality towards a place where visions of the future seem fantastical and impossible to imagine as being real. To be human is to possess the potential to understand, create, and become whatever our imaginations can think up, plan, and carry out.
Technology has brought us to the point where we can witness what our minds are capable of doing. With discoveries in the field of quantum physics such as the power of intention, we know now that we are able to take control of our thoughts and by taking control of our thoughts, we can have an impact on the outcome of events in our lives and in the universe. Reality is essentially manifested through our thoughts. The impact that something as simple as the power of intention may sound is immense.
Imagine a future where all people were conscious of this reality. Imagine honing this capability to perfect accuracy. This could very well be a scary image if you envision people using this power in dangerous and terrible ways for the purpose of control. What I see though, is the power to change the world in a positive and effective way. Technology gives us the opportunity to measure the impact that the power of intention can have. It has been scientifically observed that molecules actually change shape. With a positive message attached to a jar of water, beautiful, symmetrical, and intricate patterns of water molecules form. With a negative message, the water molecules transform into disfigured, unbalanced, and grotesque formations. If we were to exercise this knowledge, human tragedy such disease and war could be virtually eliminated.
I predict that in the future, we will be consciously aware of the power we have to create our own reality – literally. Maybe the fantasy worlds of Harry Potter and Frodo Baggins aren’t so far fetched and impossible to realize. Between technology and consciousness, we could find ourselves creating a world in which we use our consciousness to control energy and technology to create objects and creatures in the physical world. We could learn how to use energy to defy gravity which means that we could fly, or we could master the art of kinetic energy to control objects around us. We could find a way to create artificial gills that will separate the usable oxygen from the water molecules so we can swim underwater for as long as we wish without dealing with oxygen tanks. Another benefit is, if these things are truly possible, the problems we have with obtaining and using energy though burning up the earth’s natural energy resources would disappear. Along with all the cool things that could be possible in the fantasy of the future are the negative potentials. For instance, what if some controlling power hungry ruler decided they wanted to genetically engineer a super-army of Orcs? What is possible on a positive level can still be equally frightening on a negative level.
Maybe I am dreaming and none of what I have said has any meaning or validity, but what I say is – if it can be thought of, it can be done. We may not be to the point yet where we can fully realize what lies in our future, but we won’t really know until we get there anyways. Mostly, I foresee an optimistic view of what is to come and I look forward to living during a time of great change and possibility. I believe we are nipping at the heels of a transformation in our perception of life as we know it.
