Chaos to Cosmos

It is natural for chaos to precede the accomplishment of a goal that is grandiose enough to demand the elevation of the human race to its next level. Our cosmic history shows that unprecedented results emerge from extraordinary determination to push through chaos to its culmination. “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it,” goes the taunt. The history we really need to learn is the 14 billion year one, which encompasses an unmitigated series of momentous success stories – atoms, galaxies, stars, planets, life, and self-awareness! And we hope that this history keeps repeating itself. Each of our universe’s successes came after initial periods of chaos and struggle. Now, for the first time, the road from chaos to success depends not just on nature, but also on human intentions! Here’s the question: Is our species mature enough to channel its intentions responsibly?
