The Inevitable Human and Godless Faith: The Evolving of the Creator

By Benjamin Katz

On 6.8.1945 the first Atomic bomb was detonated over Hiroshima. With its explosion, a new era in human mass destructive history ensued.
On the 12.8.1953 exploded the Russians the first operational nuclear device called Joe 4. It signified a new era of humanity` potential to destroy itself.
Without much notice the author of this book unleashed the ultimate mental bomb, by claiming that only by upgrading Homo sapiens to become wiser and more farsighted and adapting a global faith free of Gods and human stupidity, can we save the best part of us. Without us evolving further, beyond our own limitations and adapting new global faith and mission, human beings voyage will become redundant and end in oblivion.

Benjamin Katz

Born in Israel in 1945, Benjamin Katz fought in two wars and settled in Denmark in 1972. He studied psychology at the University of Copenhagen and has been practicing as a clinical psychologist since 1980, treating more than thirty thousand clients throughout the years. He is the author of twelve books. (See book list including this one. Most of them deal with the urgent need for us to evolve further in the future to survive and prevail.) Two aspects have attracted his attention in the last twenty years: the deteriorating mental and physical state of human beings adjusting to modern life or rejecting it, and the state of the planet that has gone from bad to worse. Once he figured out that the sharp decline of the mental and physical health of so many people is caused by our unhealthy lifestyle, lack of global sustainability, lack of foresight/oversight in global affairs leading to our deteriorating climate and living conditions, he found his mission: to define a new, evolved vision that aims to eliminate these factors. In this vision, he strongly rejects crucial aspects which constitute preconditions to our current well-being, such as modern lifestyle and its excesses, stressors, and crazy trafficking; the deterioration of global ecology due to consumerism, pollution and an unsustainable global economy; and demography and spirituality. Instead of this failed global conduct, he presents sustainable values, practices, global governance, and purposeful efforts to enable us to evolve beyond our mental limitations, shortcomings, and blind spots, which, if not altered, will become our doom.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I WISH TO thank Shai Gabay, who with his beautiful, generous, and wise mind and with a background similar to mine, contributed with his inspiring comments to the text of this book.

Niels-Erik Pedersen, the cultivated, knowledgeable, humble, and self-made man, ploughed through the whole text, giving me valuable feedback.

Jens Christensen, whom I met on Face book, did the immense and demanding editing work free of charge. I am thankful for meeting these three exceptional and humble people

WHAT AM I TO BECOME?

If I am to become the servant of God, What are my odds of finding an evolving road?

If I am to pursue self-indulgence and greed, will these two ever stop misfortune from breeding?

If I am to choose the dung beetles’ role, sustaining myself on my dung balls, what is the ultimate mission to nurture my soul?

If I am to become a flurry May fly, unaware that tomorrow I am going to die, what then am I living for and why?

If I am to become a happiness seeker, why do I keep being a ‘factual truth` reaper?

May I find my refuge in being a love seeker? Alas, I again became an illusion worshipper.

Oh, let me become an evolving visionary, sustainable, prudent and evolutionary.

INTRODUCTION

The uncensored story of a life as an Ocean fish

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people - so full of doubts.

- Bertrand Russell.

IT IS NOT very well thought remark. True, there are many fools and fanatics who are sure of their points of views and thereby endanger the human world through their ill conceived actions, and so there are lots of doubtful people in the modern world (modern times generate them), who will choose to ignore facts on the worsening state of the world and insist on the merits of their lifestyle, although it endangers our grandchildren` future.

This group constitutes a huge middle group, which adds to the problems and aggravations of our world. And there are not that many wise people who can see reality as it is, but they must act in order mobilize those among us who see it as clearly to join/establish a new spiritual/political movement, which main purpose is to topple the old order and create a new sustainable, evolving civilization!

Imagine that history plays out over the next 100+ years the way it seems to be going. The greed and obsession continue on course with grabbing every opportunity to make a buck, regardless of what carefully detailed scientific reports have to say about our planet’s alarming changes. In the worst case scenario, the result may be that Man/Humanity might be reduced to about 1-3 billion within two centuries. Such a gigantic collapse can obliterate technological progress, so humanity will go back to the 1950’s and life spans might decline to 50 years old becoming a respectable old age.

The mental framework (the world view) of the survivors could realistically be expected to be far humbler than the current majority of people living on Earth. Already I expect that children born now will grow up looking at our generations’ excesses as INCOMPREHENSIBLE. The next generations will have a hard time understanding why our obsessions permitted so much destruction and decay of the Earth, our one and only home.

I’d suggest that the best place to see a parallel to what is coming is the Dark Ages with the collapse of the Roman Empire, where marauding groups sought fertile lands and livable territory. I hear my tone as coming from the doomsday prophet: I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways. (Jeremiah 15:7; Old testament, Hub)

Isn’t it possible that our deteriorating Earth will produce the equivalent of a Transcendent being over the coming 100 years without any actual transcending of our mental (we are ethically infants)/genetic blueprint? There is a slight possibility for mental radical change among people following this alarming process, but the mindset of Man is too dependent on its Stone Age brain and its rather fixed limitations. I am afraid that we will have to circumvent or even better upgrade this brain in order to free future advanced humans of its ingrained archaic programs. The soon available new technologies - including genetic engineering - will make such a qualitative leap technically possible, but the ethical aspects will still linger for some generations to come.

In this book I present the concept of a Transcendent Creators who unite and morph into a new spiritual movement as to set free Man from his own created plights in his world, which results in global destructive behavior that endangers his own existence.

How did I come to conceive Transcendent Creators as the new spiritual force of tomorrow? I assume - not modestly - that somehow along the road I conceived this idea by becoming a ‘wise fish’. Many People may associate this claim with the idea of Über manchen (over human), introduced by Nietzsche, but it is a silly comparison, as wise people have always existed in the human domain to serve as guides, and the time is ripe to point a different course for the self-destructive humanity.

The Persian Sufi philosopher Rumi told the following story-which I have rephrased and shortened¹- that clearly illustrates my view of both the human condition and what I feel I became:

In a lake there were three fish, one wise, one half-intelligent and the third, stupid. Some fishermen came by with their fishing nets. The three fish got frightened.

The wise fish evaluated the situation and decided to leave the lake immediately, seeking the safety of the ocean. It didn’t find it opportune to consult with the others, for they were very attached to their lake, and would no doubt weaken his resolve to flee. The two others viewed the lake as HOME. The wise fish was convinced that their attachment and lack of knowledge would keep them there.

The wise fish told them that he was leaving the lake. It struggled along and, like a deer being chased by dogs, suffered greatly on its way, but finally made it to the safety of the ocean.

The half-intelligent fish thought that he should have gone with the wise fish but he could not know what was
