This is a challenge for most people. Those who find science the only way to knowledge, as opposed to trusting the Gnosis, that is available to any with consciousness, will only be able to see what is in front of them. They can not see a future, and the past is dismissed as irrelevant or it would not be past. Concepts of evolution wrongly place the idea that present incarnation is the definition better, but no one seems to want to rush the next version.
If I were to name one man, evident in his genius, it would be Nikola Tesla. He could invent anything in the workshop of his mind and it be just as good as something from a material shop. One might argue he is an aberration, like Einstein, but I would say we all have access but we're not taught to go in. Daydreaming is the exercise in which Einstein found relativity. We punish kids today for daydream. We slap their hands and say pay attention.
There are reasons why the prophets and poets and sages were wise, why their writings last the test of time. There is correspondence between Persian poets and What Whitman and Blake, and Edgar Casey. The deep consciousness of anyone hypnotized offers insight into health and life that often results in remission of illness. Where are the scientist studying that? fMRI studies of people with DID have physiological changes when personality changes. Why aren't we interested in that? Placebos work because personality change? No drugs necessary? Economic calamity ensues with people heal themselves.
Maybe the modem person who is so encapsulated by the present economic prison forgets there was also a time when the world was rich with nature, prior to hunting and gathering, where nature and food was abundant and we were safe to contemplate inwardly. Ancient, great architecture was not built by slaves, but by free, intelligent people working together for beneficial purpose. It's hard to imagine a world so cooperative that we have jointly put people on the moon and Mars permanently. Should this world blow up due to our overendowed technological warfare without an ounce of spiritual maturity, will the future generations should there be any think we were really so smart as the ones before us? The ones who built things to last.
