Evolution’s Response

At the core of this dilemma lies that tired and ancient issue, our fear of death, the adverse side of life, which may underlie our equal fear of both life and death, as so nakedly shown in Sigmund Freud’s writings. Lower species express many gradations of survival-fear, but, having no “mind” like ours (we assume), probably do not face the daunting and haunting problem of eventual death as we do, a fear arising from late childhood on.

Subsequent pages here will explore an evolutionary “work in progress” which has been in process as long as we have been around. This work in progress is evolution’s response to this most overwhelming of all limitations and constraints, which is not so much personal death as our crippling fear of it. Death as itself has no evolutionary challenge, but a life lived in fear of death sets up a constant incoherency that limits us severely. In this light, we can now revisit our earlier perspective: evolution is the transcendent movement to go beyond limitation and constraint. Now, we are considering limitations and constraints that affect the whole planet.
