- The Top 10 Principles of Individual Evolution

Originally Submitted on 8/28/96.
Are you entirely satisfied with who, what, or where you are now? Most of us aspire to be or have something different than we enjoy at present. “Becoming” is a part of this life, and that’s what evolution is all about–becoming more than you are, or appear to be, at present. Here are ten principles that may guide you in your quest.
1. Whatever you are experiencing at this very moment is appropriate to your need to grow.
- Awakening the Divine Within
The film examines the re-emergence of archaic techniques of ecstacy in the modern world by weaving a synthesis of ecological and evolutionary awareness,electronic dance culture, and the current pharmacological re-evaluation of entheogenic compounds. Within a narrative framework that imagines consciousness itself to be evolving, Entheogen documents the emergence of techno-shamanism in the post-modern world that frames the following questions: How can a renewal of ancient initiatory rites of passage alleviate our ecological crisis? What do trance dancing and festivals celebrating unbridled artistic expression speak to in our collective psyche? How do we re-invent ourselves in a disenchanted world from which God has long ago withdrawn? Entheogen invites the viewer to consider that the answers to these questions lie within the consciousness of each and every human being, and are accessible if only we give ourselves permission to awaken to the divine within.
- The Rules for being Human
When you were born, you didn’t come with an owner’s manual; these guidelines make life work better.
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called “Life on Planet Earth”. Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. “Failures” are as much a part of the process as “success.”

The planetary situation as a whole is getting worse in almost every respect except for the astounding pace of technological development and scientific discovery.
When polled, many Americans say that they feel our country has gone off track.
Few people recognize themselves as spirit, or understand the potentials of spirit.
- The Hundredth Monkey
by Ken Keyes, jr. (http://www.worldtrans.org/spir/planetbreak.html)
The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.
In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.
An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.
