The Soulhealing Nanotech

*******

There has been discovered, over the past few years, an entirely new science called "nanotechnology." When it is perfected -- and it will be savagely resisted by the many, many money-interests around the world -- every human being can have whatever she needs! People will, at last, be able to do the work that they love, and the "power of the dollarbill" will be a sad and scary memory. The someday-possibilities are breath-taking.

In theory, you will be able to take a shovelful of dirt and transform it into a steak (this is what nature does, only more slowly). Or, you could transform it into a batch of tomatoes, or a handful of diamonds. [This all has to do with atomic and molecular rearrangement, as sweet Mother Nature (the Goddess) is doing all the time!]

You can see how industry, stuck way back in the twentieth century, will resist this tooth-and-nail, and so will every rich person on the planet -- for decades, even though the theory might be completed and applicable within forty years. It's a total solution to both starvation and to poverty, as well as just about every other scientific and social challenge.

The creation of nanobots (molecule-size robots to be fed into the cell and/or bloodstream) will make many diseases treatable and reversible. Some great stuff!

Tao

*******

Since you showed some interest in the Way of Taoism, thought a little follow-up might be nice:

Tao (pronounced "dow") is an indefinable, great, and mysterious Power or Mind that runs and controls the cosmos. Tao is manifested in pattern. Designs on butterfly-wings and tortoise-shells are two of many, many examples.

This same Tao is also manifest as the activities of the physical body, especially in natural nanotech: The Tao transforms dirt, water, and sunlight into fruits and vegetables, and then, in yet another nanotech "miracle," transforms these foods into your physical body.

We see Tao in action every day, in the beating of your heart and the rising of the sun. So, belief in this Power does not require "blind faith."

The Taoist, or Taoist mystic, is the person who, on a practical level, develops trust in this unseen Power. In the West, this is "faith." Jesus taught pure Taoism when he told his disciples, in Matthew, chapter 5, to live like birds and flowers -- without worry, fretting, or fear.

The Taoist's main jewel is the absence of all personal desire. She wants many things, but they are all what Love wants. She does not eliminate all desire, but only all personal desire. This gives the famous Taoist tranquility, and guarantees the absence of greed. Like the cosmic Lovemind of many other systems of mysticism, the Tao can work only through a mind that is still and quiet, as in meditation, and a mind that
is not continually troubled with, stuffed with, personal desires.

Also, believing in this Power, the Taoist gives up all control, or attempts to control, the activities of others, or the outcome of her life. She must control the car, or the chainsaw, of course. But she does not control the world; even the control of her own body she gives up to the mysterious Power of Tao. This greatly lessens anxiety, increasing serenity.

Instead of grasping control, she seeks to become a "vessel" or "instrument" of Tao, or the great Mind. In terms of other forms of mysticism, she becomes a tool of Love. Like Jesus, her longterm goal is to become an "incarnation of God (Love)."

Just a few ideas to think about, from an aspiring Taoist!:)
