There is a terrible malady upon humanity and it is epidemic in proportion.  It is not new, in fact it has been causing premature death throughout recorded history, millions, even billions  of people have suffered severely and died from this malady yet it has continued to go virtually undetected.  I am not a doctor which is probably why I have been able to see this disease for what it is. The disease is individuality, independence, a belief in separation.

The only disease of humanity is egocentricity.  We consistently view ourselves as individuals.  We are all caught up in some insane belief that we are separate from everything and everyone while all the evidence over and over again points to an integrated whole.

Recently, in their study of the bee, entomologists have come to realize that the organism is not the individual bee, it is the hive.  A single bee can only live away from the hive for a couple hours before it will die, exactly because it is one cell of the hive.  The hive cannot live without the queen because she is the central organ of the hive.  And when she lays the egg of another queen the hive is giving birth to a new hive.  If a nest is destroyed the hive will swarm, travel as one, until it locates a new location and builds a new hive. 

I have no doubt that in the field of biology we are about to make this same discovery over and over again.  We, upon closer inspection, will realize that ants too are hive beings.  We will see this is true of other insects, locusts, gnats and other insects that cluster.

Then as we evolve, or heal, in our collective consciousness we will start to realize that fish in their schools and birds in their flocks are also hive beings of a slightly different magnitude.  We will realize that this is exactly why flocks of birds fly and turn with such incredible precision; it is not because they are intuitively connected so much as that they are one.

One day some far seeing biologist will see and be recognized in his or her great realization, “Oh my God, even animals are beings of collective consciousness.”  The wolves, the buffalo, gazelles, and elephants all in their herds, their packs and their family units are each hives of a different magnitude of space.

At the point that we realize that eagles and other “predators” at the top of the ‘food chain’ are actually hive consciousness of the greatest expansiveness we will be close to embracing humanity as one, not as a concept in our heads but rather as intellectual foundation.   It may take us years or even Centuries to reach this race consciousness, still it is coming, and I suspect far sooner than we might have expected even a couple years ago.

Today the popular concept in modern and many eastern spiritual philosophies is that; “we are not human beings having a spiritual experience we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”  This was a wonderful breakthrough in the evolution of human spiritual philosophy; still it has not gone far enough.  Ultimately we will realize that we are ‘Spirit’, as in one infinite beingness, having a human experience through a process of individualization.  We are each an individualization of an infinite intelligence.  We are each that one intelligence looking at Itself from the perspective of space/time separation.
