nature has both extremes

thankfully, you are nature and you are in control to steer your course.

I was contemplating a similar question during a mushroom trip a couple days ago.  If consciousness is eternal and cannot be destroyed, only take on different forms, then why must conscious life fight and struggle to survive?

One possible answer is that those who fight are too attached to their particular form, and are ignorant to the fact that consciousness will go on forever without them and nothing is truly lost in death

Another possibility is that the Darwinian process and all the suffering it includes is somehow necessary to create forms complex enough to experience and understand the most profound states of consciousness.  Although this only makes sense from the perspective of planetary life in the form we understand.  In the absolute sense, I don’t see any reason why the ultimate mind couldn’t come into existence with no process leading up to it

Those are my half-baked thoughts so far.  Of course oftentimes in these inquiries eventually I’m led to the deeply unsatisfying tautology of “It is because it is”.  Looking forward to reading other people’s thoughts on this

I truly believe that Consiousness can do these things without such unnecessary suffering as this. Come on guys  we are better that this.
