According to Wikipedia, the first photosynthetic organisms changed the Earth forever when they began to oxygenate the atmosphere about 2,400 million years ago. The new atmosphere allowed the evolution of complex life, and what we now call the biosphere.
Complex organisms have been reacting to qualia for a long, long time, for it is qualia that attracts their senses and leads them to sources of food, to mates, etc. Only in the last 100,000 years (to put it generously) have human beings taken notice of internal qualia. That is, a sixth sense – the mind. The mind interprets information from the other five senses, reflectively, as opposed to the instinctive reaction of the brain and nervous system.
And the qualiasphere was born…
Much of the evolution of complex life depends upon the qualiadelic relationships between living organisms – mutual attractions with which both organisms evolve together. When the relationship stabilizes and evolution slows to more or less of a halt, it becomes a symbiotic relationship, as we learned in school.
But the age of self-consciousness in humans has only begun. We are only at the beginning of an incredible evolutionary growth-spurt because of the qualiadelic relationships we are now developing with our intuition and our thoughts. As humans, we have only developed the complex symbol systems of language in the last 15,000 years. We are very young.
Yet, in a mere 15,000 years of communicating with symbols we have generated a new element into our cozy planet. The atmosphere and the biosphere are now supplemented by the qualiasphere. Everything we see around us is a part of a symbolic world, in addition to the physical world.
The symbolic world is nothing more than qualia (our ideas and intuitions) made manifest. Houses, cars and banks; forests, farms and glaciers; wars, pollutants and diseases – all are symbols filling up the qualiasphere as well as physical realities populating the physical world.
Qualiadelic theory is simple enough. It is not too different from the law of attraction, in that how we express ourselves echoes back to us our intuitions and ideas – our songs. Unfortunately, humans express themselves by manipulating the world, killing, destroying and raping in order to create. That is not good karma.
The whales and dolphins sing, undistracted by any compulsion to harm the environment. They are in harmony, not just with the biosphere and the atmosphere, but with the qualiasphere, which stretches into the cosmos beyond our planet, beyond our consciousness, and into and out of the furthest realms of the imagination.
Can we stop the human cacophony long enough to listen to the music of the spheres? Shall we evolve ourselves or will we settle into a short, tragic, symbiotic relationship with our dying Earth?
