The unlimited potential for evolution in a potentially infinite
universe does not exist on our planet.
Its future is
limited in time and resources and thus creative potential.
If we avoid self destruction on a massive
scale we will almost
certainly within this millennium begin to travel between the stars.
We will do so on unmanned ships equipped with
our knowledge and with biological material and machines that are
capable of colonizing planets on which life could not develop spontaneously.
We will reproduce and evolve not as individuals but as entire worlds.
We will probably evolve as a combination of biological and
manufactured components. Over time the manufacturing processes and biological
processes may merge as the former become more subtle and efficient and the
latter are more controlled and directed. The goal is the
never ending expansion of conscious
experience. We will grow more capable of pleasure, happiness, joy and ecstasy.
The goal is the never ending journey of
God becoming ever more deeply conscious of herself in her unbounded glory.
That is the subject of Chapter
.
