From biological infrastructure to spiritual keystone, fascia represents humanity's most misunderstood organ - one that challenges our understanding of what it means to be human.
This essay represents a significant milestone for me - finally coalescing years of disparate information into a coherent, flowing narrative. Beyond its primary topic, it reveals two crucial insights.
First, I consistently emphasize our forgotten understanding of scale - how, like musical octaves, fundamental patterns repeat at different amplitudes. If we regained grasp of this ancient principle, we'd realize that natural systems are simpler than our rational minds make them, constantly trying to force square pegs into round holes.
Second, this perspective may provide a reframing of our understanding of Transhumanism. Rather than an approaching threat, by this essay we can see that it's an evolutionary process we're already experiencing. The term 'transhumanism' itself carries dual significance in this context. On one level, it suggests movement 'beyond human' - specifically beyond the seven-centered form that dominated human history. Simultaneously, it represents 'transformation' - the fundamental reshaping of human form from its seven-centered configuration into something new.
Both interpretations point to the same reality: we're not approaching transhumanism; we're living through its unfolding. Recognizing ourselves as nine-centered beings helps us understand that current technological and social developments aren't aberrations to fear, but natural expressions of ongoing evolutionary mutation.
Where Transhumanism becomes problematic and dangerous, arise from several converging factors. The dissolution of our "insurance policy" - the binding thread that held human consciousness together - leads to unprecedented fragmentation. This in turn has created a deep divide between technical mastery through rational intelligence and our connection to spiritual wisdom and natural systems.
From a mystical perspective, the mind has enjoyed unprecedented authority over human consciousness for thousands of years. This long reign has created an unshakeable illusion of its supremacy. Now, as we transition toward a more sophisticated form of awareness, the mind appears unwilling to relinquish its control. Like a deposed monarch desperately clinging to power, it actively resists this evolutionary progression.
This resistance manifests in two ways: through extraordinary hubris and intellectual arrogance, and through extreme fear, as it finds itself overwhelmed by simultaneous information streams from all directions. Something it is not designed to handle. The unchecked vanity of mental awareness, which now sees itself as the ultimate authority on reality, has become absolutely convinced it can successfully impose its disconnected models onto life itself.
This mental resistance and overwhelm ultimately manifests as the dark version of Transhumanism we've seen depicted in countless creative works - from classic literature to contemporary films. These artistic visions aren't just imaginative speculation, but rather reflections of the natural tension between our evolving consciousness and the mind's desperate attempt to maintain control.
As this transition deepens, we can expect this pattern of resistance and overwhelm to intensify. I plan to explore this concerning development in my next essay.
I like that you are giving me hope about the transhumanism. I really am not looking forward to being uploaded, and strive to NOT FEED the AI. However - as it stands now, my body is my most difficult challenge. So it's a paradox!
Thank you! Took 3 days to get through, but appreciate the way you tackle this.
Much to meditate on.
(one of my favourite mantras is "let go let go let go" - seems appropriate)

Mmmm. What is the musical scale of 9?

Only halfway through, it's like you are writing just for me! I'll be sharing, but this fire may be mine alone.
First comment: for decades in pain, I've frequently said, "WHY oh why did we ever come out of the trees!? This vertical business is SO HARD"
You are the first person to ever address this question. Thank you.
