Each day we discover ways to
create beyond life's challenges. When obstacles emerge in our arena, we move
away, over and around them. We breathe and think of how we have accomplished
the difficult before. In this way we become an evolutionist rather than survivor
of the events.
Dr. Jonas Salk believed ideas
are prompters toward "change." When examining the nature of brain and
mind, ideas have the power to influence and transform. They lead to
unpredictable experiences.
"Ideas evolve just as do
living things," Salk said. In their way ideas are an evolutionary
feedback system cycling from the evolutionary process and prompting further,
higher evolutionary jumps.
Salk revealed, "I think of biological knowledge as providing useful
analogies for understanding human nature.... People think of biology in
terms of such practical matters as drugs, but its contribution to knowledge
about living systems and ourselves will in the future be equally important....
Attitudes are expressed in terms of prolife and prohealth. These changes we're
observing are part of a natural order and to be expected from our capacity to
adapt. It's much more important to cooperate and collaborate. We are the
co-authors with nature of our destiny."
Salk defined a
"biophilosopher" as, "Someone who draws upon the scriptures of
nature, recognizing that we are the product of the process of evolution, and
understands that we have become the process itself, through the emergence and
evolution of our consciousness, our awareness, our capacity to imagine and anticipate
the future, and to choose from among alternatives."
Become an evolutionist using
change, collaboration, and cooperation to engage with the nature of life.
