Greg,

A favorite quote from Ray Fowler fits perfectly here.

"Know that there is a Creator-Sustainer, who has made Himself
knowable to Creation in direct proportion to the creatures
ability to comprehend and respond." - From the Andreasson Legacy
by Raymond E. Fowler

Whose to say that we're arresting our ability to achieve higher
intelligence Greg?  Are we as a 'group' or 'intelligence' ready
to accept the responsibility that goes along with 'higher
intelligence'?  My opinion says we're not.

Another quote from Mr. Fowler is "One billion years ago, the
highest form of life on earth was a simple wormlike animal.  The
creatures that dwell on planets only one billion years older
than earth may possess an intelligence that surpasses us by as
much as we surpass the worm!" Ray Fowler - The Watchers

Could we even comprehend a higher intelligence if it was to
smack us on the lips?  What if our individual intelligence is
determined by each person's ability to draw from the groups
'collective intelligence'?  How can we determine a maximum level
of intelligence via the limited use of our brain?  Where does a
level of psi intelligence fit into here or does it?  Can we even
compare the two?

Who are the 'we' you speak of who assumes that intelligence is
directly tied into 'technological gizmos'?  I feel that a higher
level of intelligence or awareness or an increase in the ability
of one to manipulate their consciousness would possibly lead
directly away from the dependence on 'technological gizmos'.

I feel, as Ray Fowler states, that we will only perceive what
our current level of intelligence will allow us to comprehend.


My two cents worth,

Todd Lemire
