I feel humans are at the lowest rung of spiritual evolution. I would put plants at the highest. Notice how they meditate, rooted to the same spot throughout their lives.
response: meditate?? i would rather say, vegitate
:-)
Yes traditional human perspective has always labelled non functionality in humans as a vegetative state.
However just think how plants prepare the entire food for this planet on their solar cooker even while they are engaged in meditation (vegetation).

Our macroworld reflects a fantastic collaboration in our microworld
I am gradually developing a concept that we are nothing but a collection of collaborating bacteria that form our human body as a brilliant example of unicellular bacterial collaboration and we function and collaborate in this macroworld as a direct result of the underlying collaboration in the bacterial microworld that actually forms what we are.
Every thought and every decision that we take is perhaps a result of a democratic process between the innumerable bacteria that make up our body ( this may explain why we sometimes may have abnormal thoughts generated by maverick bacteria which are often suppressed by the normal bacteria who manage to paint a picture of our normalcy to the external world).
It is the viruses and other bacteria who have chosen to reside in the wider external world ( pure non collaborators who couldn't manage to form any animal or plant body) who are the real trouble makers for our individual bodies and often lead to disease and disrepair from intermittent external aggressions.
A hint of this was off course there in the published "Conscious Notebook"
