Book Overview - In Our Own Image
Once in a few billion years, the conditions are
right for life to transcend itself into a higher
level of existence. Having spent more than a
billion years in the form of single walled bacteria-
like (Prokaryotic) cells, a happy set of
circumstances happened about 1.5 Billion years
ago that gave rise to Eukaryotic cells with a well
defined cell nucleus. Those were heady times,
and the Eukaryotic cells then went on to create
all multi-cellular creatures, including plants and
animals – including humans. The experience of
what it meant to live life changed completely! To
understand the magnitude of the transformation,
we need to just ask ourselves, “Which would we
rather be?” A human being - or a pile of ‘grey
goop’ consisting of about 100,000 billion cells all
trying to figure out how to survive in a highly
competitive environment...
The exciting times are back again! In this very
century, mankind will invent the technologies
that will give us capabilities we have thus far
associated only with Divinity. What is lacking now
is a level of wisdom, and unity of purpose
amongst us humans. If we can develop this
transcendental wisdom, and inculcate a joint
sense of identity and purpose as humanity, ours
is the opportunity to transform our collective
existence into a vastly more powerful presence.
The approach illustrated in this book draws
inspiration from many worlds – the Material and
the Spiritual, the Competitive and the
Cooperative, the Scientific and the Religious, the
Biological and the Technological… In the
process of developing an integrative ‘vision’ for
the long term success of humanity, we look at
the patterns, clues and images that permeate our
existence – all the way from the microscopic to
the astronomical. If you believe that within us
humans lies hidden the capability to scale up our
existence to resonate with the potential of the
universe around us, this book is a ‘Must Read’.
In the process, we humans would create our own
Divinity, or add our contributions to an already
existing Divinity!
