"But one thing I am certain of is that our consciousness is the most important element which makes up our lives and directs not only our individual lives but the evolution of our species."
KW I am not disagreeing but wish only to point out based on the work of Iain McGilchrist I think we have to qualify the true and the untrue consciousness.consciousness.https://youtu.be/2So6GC6OS6E
Lots of schools of thought on consciousness and many influences on our consciousness.
Language can become such a double edged sword. We are positive and negative, dark and light, electric and non electric, living and non living , spirit and not spirit.
Maybe. Maybe most are manipulated into dying inside. It is a choice - but so is social & cultural manipulation. Propaganda works - so do serially manipulative politicians. We are living the truth of this. The mainstream- manipulated into acting against their own interests. Sad - no? In this case those who chose wrong died for real.
If we change perspective then manipulated humans are made by history, that famous dead hand of the past. History uses humans as it's tool. The group intelligence of Homo -not just Sapiens Sapiens is history. The brambling bush of species contributing to our rise. Homo is blindly driven as species into history. History is the collective body in time and recollection of past present time is lore and later tradition and when tradition dies the population without history invents.
And that is why I am a Druid. Studying ancient Celtic religion has made more sense to me than any Christian religion. There is so much more than the rules of what you are "supposed" to be.
Yes. A hopeful sign! Things are evolving. A new world of spirit is emerging. Yes. Science is now confirming what the ancient wisdom keepers always knew--everything is energy/spirit and we are all connected. And "We are living through the difficult birth pangs of the death of the old world as the new world rises into being." And yes. ". . . we are all in this together" even if we are at different places in our understanding. Thank you for this post.

Ah but we can choose to be close to Being or distant. Living and not living but dying inside.
