Gregg Braden on Preserving Human Divinity Amidst Technological Integration

The Dual Themes of 'Pure Human'

• 💡 The book "Pure Human" explores two main themes: the concerted effort to replace human biology with technology and the science revealing that human capabilities exceed current technological advancements.
• 🎯 A significant concern is the growing momentum to integrate these technologies into human lives by 2030, a year identified by various organizations and ancient cosmologies.
• 🧠 The author aims to foster a deeper appreciation for humanness at a time when it's being denigrated, with technology positioned as a savior for a perceived flawed humanity.

The Threat of Transhumanism

• ⚠️ The push towards transhumanism, or merging biology with technology, is presented not as natural evolution but as artificial evolution.
• 📉 Once this path is taken, there's no going back, as the human body adapts and natural abilities may atrophy and be lost.
• 🚫 This is distinct from one-off applications like prosthetics, focusing instead on the mass indoctrination of humans with technology in their bodies.

Human Capabilities vs. Technology

• 🔬 A 2022 study comparing the human brain to microprocessors found the brain to be 100-fold more efficient at problem-solving.
• ✨ The human body is described as a "soft technology," with each of its 50 trillion cells acting as a microcircuit producing 3.5 trillion volts of electrical potential.
• 📡 Human DNA functions as a fractal antenna, tuning into and broadcasting a broad spectrum of information, highlighting our inherent complex capabilities.

Human Divinity and Its Preservation

• 💖 Human divinity is defined as the ability to transcend perceived limitations, encompassing imagination, creativity, empathy, and love, all of which are dependent on our biology.
• 🎭 Veiling our potential for divinity by giving biology away to technology has immense spiritual and species-wide implications.
• 🚫 The technologist's view of human emotion as a flaw is challenged, as emotions are seen as integral to our very humanness.

The "Use It or Lose It" Principle

• 🧠 The principle of "use it or lose it" applies to all human systems; if biological functions are replaced by technology, those systems can atrophy and fail over generations.
• ⏳ This process, if unchecked, could lead to the loss of the human species, emphasizing the preciousness and rarity of our current form.
• ⚡ The struggle between forces of light and dark is framed as a battle to deny or embrace our divinity, with fear being a primary tool of denial.

Indoctrination and Future Implications

• 📺 For generations, humans have been taught to see themselves as flawed life forms, necessitating external solutions like technology.
• 💳 The increasing integration of technology, such as RFID chips for commerce, mirrors prophecies about the inability to buy or sell without a mark.
• 🔮 Messages from alleged alien abductions and future humans suggest a critical crossroads where choosing technology over biology leads to regret and loss.
