You may have heard recently of this new idea, called "Transhumanism". It is an idea system defined in the dictionary as "man remaining man, but transcending himself, by realizing new possibilities of and for his human nature" or "Advocacy of improvement to the human condition through enhancement technologies, such as eliminating aging and expanding intellectual, physical or physiological capacities."

If you haven't heard of it, you will almost certainly have heard of stem cells, nanotechnology, or cybernetics. These are just some aspects of this exciting idea that is finally breaking through to the mainstream. It is becoming apparent that we may soon have the power to STOP AGING, to cure all diseases, and even to radically increase the power of our minds. Technology and science are forging a world that is bigger than any of us could have imagined a few years ago. This is a truly inspiring time for the human race. We are on the verge of an enormous transition.

There are those among us however, that believe that this power is a bad thing, that we cannot be trusted with such God-defying knowledge, that the bad will somehow outweigh the good. It's true that as our creating power increases, as does the ease of mass destruction. It is a foregone conclusion therefore, that attitudes on a global scale must change.

The internet has inadvertently given rise to the biggest free exchange of ideas in the history of humanity. A series of stupid actions by our leaders, brought to our attention by our free market media, has caused us to lose faith in their authority. Religion fuelled violence and atrocities have tested our faith to the limits. Now, mankind is awakening. We are waking up to the stupidity of fighting and arguing. We are losing patience with intolerance. We are discovering the true potential of benevolent conscious life. We are realising our destiny.

As we wake up to the truth, the leaders no longer fool us with their lies, and the preachers no longer control us with guilt and false promises. Our minds open up to an endless world of possibilities, no longer held back by the dogmatic, dysfunctional society we currently live in.

When we realise something is possible, we can achieve it. Hurricane control, superhuman vision, an elevator into space, all these things are within our grasp. We have the potential to build ourselves powerful new indestructible bodies, to fly to distant galaxies, to eliminate death, to control nature. Even the power of the unmodified conscious mind is something we are only just beginning to see the potential of. Anyone who trains their mind right can help make these goals become real by seeing solutions that the average person cannot see, using their power to solve seemingly impossible problems, and turning visions that few could ever imagine into reality.

This training of your mind involves many things. However the most important requirement is the rejection of all external authority. Only when this is done can any more steps towards this evolved level be achieved. By seeing the world through religious or authoritarian eyes, every concept formed in your mind is corrupted by irrationality. This is for two reasons. The first being that religion is not based on reality so your fundamental concepts are fabricated. Secondly, all external authority prevents your mind from creating reality based concepts on its own. Only with reality as your foundation can this larger world be revealed to you.
From within this world of reason you can see the infinite possibilities of consciousness, and the true destiny of all conscious life in the universe: To control nature.

The technology of Transhumanism is about to make us as powerful as gods. Only if we transcend irrationality can we survive. Or perhaps Transhumanism itself will take us through this transition?

Maybe then, Peace, Prosperity, Freedom, Tolerance, Technology, Science, Art, Reason, Intelligence, Creativity, Immortality, and Rationality will eliminate Superstition, Bigotry, Politics, Religion, Stupidity, and Irrationality.
