Die zwei Versionen der Darwinschen Evolutionstheorie – David Loye


Zwei Auslegungen der Evolutionstheorie von Charles Darwin:
Reduzierter Darwinismus
Dominanz / Unterwerfung (1859) ⇔
Wiederentdeckter Darwinismus – Partnerschaft (2007)

. . .

Darwins Evolutionstheorie weist aus, dass Entwicklung wesentlich beflusst wird durch
moralisches Empfinden, ethische Einfühlung und (Herzens)Bildung,
NICHT durch Konkurrenzverhalten.
Diese Erkenntnis blieb fast 150 Jahre lang verborgen.

    Wider seine eigenen wiederholten Forschungsergebnisse, welche die spontane Lebensentstehung unter sterilen mikrobiologischen Laborbedingungen bestätigten, hatte Pasteur zeitlebens die sozialdarwinistische reduktionistische Auslegung der Evolutionstheorie Darwins vertreten. Zwischen 1860-1880 ging die wissenschaftliche Debatte darum, ob ‘Selbstentstehung’ [spontane Lebensemergenz] möglich sei oder nicht. Pasteur hatte Bernards Feldthese des Nährbodens erfolgreich unterdrückt.2

Zitate zum Thema Wachstum und Evolution / Growth and evolution

Zitate allgemein

  • In den äußersten Zuständen des Schwankens bin ich niemals ein Atheist in dem Sinne gewesen, dass ich die Existenz eines Gottes geleugnet hätte. Charles Darwin [BW 450/460] (1809-1882) britischer Naturforscher, Entwickler der biologischen Evolutionstheorie

 

  • Die Evolution der Menschheit wird durch Gewalt charakterisiert, etwas das Erich Fromm "bösartige Aggression" nannte. Es ist grundsätzlich anders als die Art von Aggression, die man in der Natur sieht: Überleben, Beschaffung von Nahrung oder sexueller Wettbewerb. […] Diese bösartige Aggression bedeutet nach Fromms Verständnis auch eine Art unstillbare Gier, die Tendenz, immer mehr haben zu wollen, mehr Macht, mehr Geld, mehr Besitz, mehr Territorium. Das ist charakteristisch für die menschliche Geschichte. Stanislav Grof, M.D., Ph.D. (*1931) tschechisch-US-amerikanischer Psychiater, Psychotherapeut, Medizinphilosoph, Mitbegründer der transpersonalen Psychologie, Die Welt ist perfekt, Interview mit Kareem van Gennip, Transpersonale Perspektiven, Vol. 4/98, Logos-Verlag-Berlin, Juli 1998

 

  • - Wir können die Unlenksamkeit des Bösen anerkennen und dennoch nach Würde streben.
    - Ohne Verklärung können wir verstehen, dass es immer Krieg geben wird, und dennoch für den Frieden arbeiten.
    Das können wir tun – denn das ist die Geschichte des menschlichen Fortschritts, das ist die Hoffnung für alle Welt, und in diesem Augenblick der Herausforderung muss das hier auf der Erde unsere Arbeit sein. Barack Obama (*1961) 44. US-Präsident, zit. in: Obamas Rede in Oslo, Friedensnobelpreisverleihung, Oslo, Norwegen, Der Tagesspiegel online, 10. Dezember 2009

Zitate (engl.) allgemein

  • Everyone has chosen his own level of consciousness, yet nobody could have done otherwise at any given point in time. We can only get "there" from "here." Every leap has to have a platform to originate from. Pain exists to promote evolution; its cumulative effect finally forces us in a new direction, although the mechanism may be very slow. How many times is it necessary to hit bottom before a lesson is learned? Perhaps thousands, which may account for the sheer quantity of human suffering, so vast as to be incomprehensible. Slowly, by inches, does civilization advance. David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD, Power vs. Force, S. 127

 

 

  • It is of little benefit to be personally self-critical or think that one 'should' be farther along the road than they are. Spiritual evolution is irregular and at times often seems sporadic and at other times stationary. Realize that guilt is a narcissistic indulgence. There may be long, dry periods where seemingly nothing is progressing. This is a deception; a 'long, dry period' is what is happening as though it were a test of resolve. These periods can be traversed by transcending the spiritual ego's wish to seek gain via 'progress.' Frustration itself is therefore a sign of trying to control that which is not really controllable. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Reality, Spirituality and Modern Man, chapter 19 "Practicum", S. 351-352

 

 

 

 

  • The coming of a spiritual age must be preceded by the appearance of an increasing number of individuals who are no longer satisfied with the normal intellectual, vital and physical existence of man, but perceive that a greater evolution is the real goal of humanity and attempt to effect it in themselves, to lead others to it, and to make it the recognized goal of the human race. In proportion as they succeed and to the degree to which they carry this evolution, the yet unrealized potentiality which they represent will become an actual possibility of the future. Sri Aurobindo [LoC 605] (1872-1950) Indian British mystic, philosopher, politician, The Human Cycle, Ideal of Human Unity, War and Self Determination, Lotus Press, 2nd edition, 1. January 1970

 

  • Our DNA has been evolving 100 times more rapidly in the last 5000 years due to a natural galactic process, which is also creating climate change throughout our entire solar system. If the prophecies are correct, psychic abilities and powers such as telekinesis, levitation, spiritual healing and telepathy may soon become as common as breathing. David Wilcock (*1973) US American consciousness researcher, author, lecturer, filmmaker, Event Horizon 2012

Chicken and egg paradox

  • Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Both exist together as an Intelligent Design, written into the very energy that makes up our Universe.
    The chicken and the egg exist together as a template in the field both of which are ready to spontaneously emerge when the time is right. [...] DNA is the product of the field. David Wilcock (*1973) US American consciousness researcher, author, lecturer, filmmaker, 2012 Event Horizon: Prophecies and Science of a Golden Age, part 3 of 4, YouTube film, 51:11 minutes duration, posted 2. May 2010

 

  • Darwinism is not synonymous with evolution. Darwin's [continuous] theory [on 1000s and 1000s of gene mutations] does not explain all the data concerning evolution. [...] Darwin's theory cannot even begin to give an understanding on how an eye (organ) can develop. [...] There don't have to be actual mutations. In fact quantum physics insists that all mutations are [...] quantum possibilities for consciousness to choose from. Only when consciousness is ready to choose, when there is a whole Gestalt of consciousness giving us the organ then only the organ becomes manifest. Audio interview with Amit Goswami, Ph.D. (*1936) Indian American nuclear physicist, quantum cosmologist, Science and the Rediscovery of God, Program #3272, web radio station New Dimensions, host Craig Hamilton, minute 45:15+, 12.

  • It took an incredible decadence for man to accept materialistic theories such as those of Lamarck and Darwin! All traces of confidence in divine harmony and of legitimate pride must have vanished in our lack of reaction against a science that lowers us to the brute state of so-called prehistoric man or anthropoid. Those who steer humanity toward such stultification are madmen or criminals. R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz (1887-1961) born in Alsace-Lorraine, researcher of the art and architecture of the Temple of Luxor in Egypt, Egyptian Miracle

Newton and Descartes offered the first scientific mechanical creation story.

British scholar and chief political economy and demography Thomas Malthus [LoC 204] (1766-1834) coined the idea 'We are doomed to an endless struggle in scarcity', a rationale for the East India Company to steal from the world.
The original theory of evolution goes back to Darwin's grandfather. Darwin who had adopted the Malthusian model of scarcity had observed competition and cooperation in nature. In his evolutionary theory he had to subvert the cooperation part as it didn't fit the scarcity theory.

  • The universal struggle for life must be thoroughly ingrained in the mind or the whole economy of nature with every fact in it will be dimly seen or misunderstood. It is the doctrine of Malthus applied with manifold force to the whole animal and vegetable kingdom. George Darwin [LoC 460] (1809-1882) English naturalist, author of the biological theory of evolution, The Origin of Species, quoted by Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris, Greek-American post-Darwinian creationist evolutionary biologist, pastist/futurist, former UN consultant, Creating a Global Family with the Help of Biology, World Wisdom Council, sponsored by Goi Peace Foundation, Theme Creating a New Civilization, Tokyo, November 2005, Google video, minute 6:52, beginning minute 5:08, 24:48 minutes duration, posted 17.

Paradigm-shifting work:

Microbiologist Carl Woese and physicist Nigel Goldenfeld at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign suggest that the evolutionary history may owe its development to the more creative dynamics of self-organizing systems.

  • Just suppose that Darwin's ideas were only a part of the story of evolution. Suppose that a process he never wrote about, and never even imagined, has been controlling the evolution of life throughout most of the Earth's history. It may sound preposterous, but this is exactly what microbiologist Carl Woese and physicist Nigel Goldenfeld, both at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, believe. Darwin's explanation of evolution, they argue, even in its sophisticated modern form, applies only to a recent phase of life on Earth.

Evolution in the universes


  • Many different reality frames or dimensions containing sentinent (conscious) entities exist and are interacting according to their own rule sets.
    (I know because I have been there (via OBE as taught by Robert Monroe) and seen how it works. It is logical and the results fit the data.)
    All entities in our larger reality system have the purpose of lowering their entropy by growing up, by becoming more spiritual, by becoming love – i.e. by eliminating fear and ego.
    They still have the same job [growing up] than we do. The system exists. It has to lower its entropy. That's how it evolves. There are only three states you can be in. You can be evolving, you can be static [standing still], or you can be de-evolving [dying]. […] You're either evolving or dying, because being in the middle is unstable. [...] Change happens. Everything changes. You're either evolving or you're dying. Video presentation by Thomas Campbell (*1944) US American physicist, consciousness researcher, sponsored by and at London School of Economics, filmed 22.

  • Why does a consciousness system evolve? The second choice dying is a bad choice. So it evolves.
    How does it evolve? By lowering its entropy. It evolves by creating a lot of smaller units of consciousness that interact with their free will so that they can lower their entropy. Without free will you can't lower your entropy, because you cannot learn anything. It's all just a script you're following.

Zitate (engl.) von Charles Darwin

  • Important as the struggle for existence has been and even still is, yet as far as the highest part of our nature is concerned there are other agencies more important. For the moral qualities are advanced either directly or indirectly much more through the efforts of habit, by our reasoning powers, by instruction, by religion, etc., than through natural selection. Charles Darwin [LoC 460] (1809-1882) English naturalist, author of the biological theory of evolution, The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, next to last page, 1871

Cooperation superseding competition:

Men are a profoundly social and caring species.

Altruism research:

This new science of altruism and the physiological underpinnings of compassion is finally catching up with Darwin’s observations nearly 130 years ago, that sympathy is [humanity's] strongest instinct. Dacher Keltner, US American professor of psychology, UC Berkeley, director of the Greater Good Science Center, author; cited in: ‘Survival of the Kindest’ – Sympathy is Strongest Human Instinct, 9. December 2009

  • For firstly, the social instincts lead an animal to take pleasure in the society of his fellows, to feel a certain amount of sympathy with them, and to perform various services for them. […] Such actions as the above appear to be the simple result of the greater strength of the social or maternal instincts than that of any other instinct or motive; for they are performed too instantaneously for reflection, or for pleasure or even misery might be felt. In a timid man, on the other hand, the instinct of self-preservation might be so strong, that he would be unable to force himself to run any such risk, perhaps not even for his own child. Charles Darwin [LoC 460] (1809-1882) English naturalist, author of the biological theory of evolution, The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, 1871

 

  • Sympathy [compassion] is our strongest [human] instinct. [Paraphrased.] Charles Darwin [LoC 460] (1809-1882) English naturalist, author of the biological theory of evolution

The Rediscovery of Charles Darwin's distorted Evolutionary Theory

US American social psychologist and evolutionary systems scientist Dr. David Loye authored Darwin’s Lost Theory. Who We Really Are and Where We're Going, Benjamin Franklin Press, 2007.
Loye has researched four major works of Charles Darwin in a scrutinous manner:

  1. Origen of the Species
  2. Descent of Man
  3. The emotional life
  4. Notebooks (unpublished for 136 years)

 

Via the Word search function he did a simple screening of several terms in the e-version of Descent of Man, 1871 (475 fine print pages). Following highlights were found:

  1. The term Mind / brain was mentioned 200 times.
  2. The term Love was mentioned 95 times (are still in the book today).
    Love is only mentioned once in the official book index.
  3. The term Moral sensitivity was mentioned 92 times.
    Moral sensitivity is only mentioned 6 times in the official book index.
  4. The term Mutuality or Mutual aid i.e. Cooperation was mentioned 27 times.
  5. The term Competition was mentioned 12 times.
  6. The term Selfishness was mentioned 12 times.
    Darwin: Selfishness a is base principle, which accounts for the low morality of savages.
  7. The over exposed and ill applied term Survival of the fittest was only mentioned twice.

 

Loye concludes:

  • Darwin's evolutionary postulate:
    The prime motivator for human evolution is neither competition, nor natural selection, nor "survival of the fittest," as popularized but the human capacity for moral sense, ethical sensitivity, and education.
  • Darwin was pre-anticipating Abraham Maslow's humanistic psychology.
  • Darwin gave scientific grounding for Jesus' teaching and for modern brain research.
  • Darwin puts the evolutionary emphasis on sex and the flowering of love.
  • Prior to Sigmund Freud Darwin listed following evolutionary drives (see his Notebooks writings at age 28):
    1. Sexual instincts – Myotic sex = Two different sex organs in two beings - 1st billion years ago.
    2. Parental instinct – Family unit
    3. Social instinct – Group / community unit; development of reason and emotion.
In modern times brain scientists Paul D. MacLean † and Karl Pribram † as well as cell biologist Lynne Margoulis have arrived at the same findings.

 

Loye commenting the ongoing Darwin wars since the break of the new millenium:

  • Darwin was in favor of "progressive religion" and hated "regressive religion".
  • The arrogance of "science" and the stupidity of "regressive religion" are a hindrance to evolution.
    Neodarwinists stand both for "wrong" religion and "wrong" science.
    Sociobiologists Richard Dawkins, Daniel Bennett and Stephen Jay Gould did not study carefully what Darwin really wrote.


 

 

  • In a wide range of studies, social scientists are amassing a growing body of evidence to show we are evolving to become more compassionate and collaborative in our quest to survive and thrive. In contrast with "every man for himself" interpretations of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, Dacher Keltner US American professor of psychology, UCB, director of the Greater Good Science Center, author of Born to Be Good. The Science of a Meaningful Life, and his fellow social scientists are building the case that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our nurturing, altruistic and compassionate traits. Social scientists build case for 'survival of the kindest', presented by Media Relations UniversityofCalifornia.edu, Yasmin Anwar, 8. December 2009

 

  • In the Descent of Man Charles Darwin wrote only twice of "survival of the fittest" — but 95 times about love! 92 times about moral sensitivity. And 200 times about brain and mind. Suppression over 100 years of the real Darwin has led to the social, political, economic, scientific, educational, moral and spiritual mess we are in today. David Loye, Ph.D. (*1925) US American social psychologist, evolutionary systems scientist, partnership researcher, author, The Darwin Project

 

  • What’s now at stake in the battle for 21st century mind [...] On one hand are gathered those of us who, out of 100,000 years of yearning, generation after generation have worked to advance evolution – that is, to build the better world through the revolution of higher expectation.
    On the other hand are those of us who – blind captives of an antihuman paradigm and a counter-revolution of lower expectation – automatically, and tragically, have worked to check us in place or drive us backward.

  • The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or a hostile universe. Albert Einstein [LoC 499] (1879-1955) German-born US American theoretical physicist, developer of the theory of general relativity

 

  • Important as the struggle for existence has been and even still is, yet as far as the highest part of our nature is concerned there are other agencies more important. For the moral qualities are advanced either directly or indirectly much more through the efforts of habit, by our reasoning powers, by instruction, by religion, etc., than through natural selection. Charles Darwin

 

  • At present the most usual argument for the existence of an intelligent God is drawn from deep inward conviction and feelings which are experienced by most persons. [...]
    Formerly I was led by feelings such as those just referred to, (although I do not think that the religious sentiment was ever strongly developed in me), to the firm conviction of the existence of God, and of the immortality of the soul. [...] This argument would be a valid one, if all men of all races had the same inward conviction of the existence of one God; but we know this is very far from being the case. Therefore I cannot see that such inward convictions and feelings are of any weight as evidence of what really exists.
    Charles Darwin, Autobiography
    • Even though he was an agnostic, Darwin spoke of “an ennobling belief in God” as an important criterion in evolution. Interview with Dr. David Loye, Darwin’s lost theory of love, presented by Hologrambooks.com, 'Stray Thoughts', interviewer Frank DeMarco, 20. April 2009

 

  • The ideal of morality has no more dangerous rival than the ideal of supreme strength, of a life of maximum vigor, which has also been called the ideal of aesthetic greatness. That life is in truth the ultimate attainment of the barbarian, and unfortunately in these days of civilization’s withering it has won a great many adherents. In pursuance of this ideal man becomes a hybrid thing, a brute-spirit, whose cruel mentality exerts a horrible spell upon weaklings. Novalis (1772-1801) Georg Philipp Friedrich Freiherr von Hardenberg, German philosopher, author of early German Romanticism, cited in: The legacy of Friedrich Nietzsche, Roger Kimball The New Criterion, Volume 10, pg. 28, September 1991
    See Friedrich Nietzsche, German nihilist philosopher's quote: "Reality is that which has the combative vigor to assert itself."

 

  • The Darwinian story only goes to the adolescent part.
    Self-interest is good as long as it is contained by the self-interest of a community.
    Sustainability happens when species learn to feed each other instead of to fight each other.
    What we need now is glocalization.
    Together we can make it happen.

Basic timeline of evolution on Earth

The basic timeline of evolution on Earth spans a period of 4.6 billion years.
See the (very approximate) dates:

  • 4 billion years of simple cells asexually selfprocreating (prokaryotes),
  • 3 billion years of photosynthesis,
  • 2 billion years of complex cells (eukaryotes) reproducing by nuclear division (mitosis),
  • 1 billion years of multicellular life, sexually procreating,
  • 600 million years of simple animals,
  • 570 million years of arthropods (ancestors of insects, arachnids and crustaceans)
  • 550 million years of complex animals,
  • 500 million years of fish and proto-amphibians,
  • 475 million years of land plants,
  • 400 million years of insects and seeds,
  • 360 million years of amphibians,
  • 300 million years of reptiles,
  • 200 million years of mammals,
  • 150 million years of birds,
  • 130 million years of flowers,
  • 65 million years since the non-avian dinosaurs died out,
  • 2.5 million years since the appearance of the genus Homo,
  • 200,000 years since humans started looking like they do today,
  • 25,000 years since Neanderthals died out.

Analogous animal and human evolution – Bruce H. Lipton

Spiking the evolutionary lineage
Evolution repeats itself in self-similar fractal patterns.
Humanity is analogous to an animal or an organism. Each human acts like a cell within this organism.

Ten turning points in cosmic evolution made human life possible


Human evolution – resulting from cosmic hazards

Newscientist.com found 10 "turning points" during the cosmic evolution that secure human existence.


#Time lineEmerging
Event

Legend
*ANY TIMEThe certainty of chance
[i.e. emergence]
Tiny changes at the beginning make big differences in the end. That's why human existence is perilously perched on a great pyramid of trivia.
1.13.75 billion years agoAvoiding the voidHuman life wouldn't exist if Earth's cosmic neighborhood had been just a bit less dense than average during the tumultuous moments after the supposed big bang.
2.13.75 billion years agoTipping the
antimatter balance
The cosmos is not a sea of bland radiation. The triumph of matter suggests that the laws of physics are biased.
3.4.6 billion years agoSparking up
planet Earth
What does it take to make a solar system? Hydrogen, helium, interstellar dust – and a spark to set it on fire.
4.4.5 billion years agoMars attacksWithout the colossal interplanetary collision human evolution might have turned out very differently.
5.3.9 billion years agoBlasting
the Earth
into life
The solar system's "late heavy bombardment" blasted planet Earth. It might also have delivered a water supply, and created nurseries for life.
6.2 billion years agoOne giant leap
for a single cell
A freak event created the ancestor of all multicellular life on Earth. Without this unconventional genesis, potential humans might never have become more than bacteria.
7.635 million years agoThe age of
heroic lichen
Early life had to ride an oxygen roller coaster – until humble symbioses of algae and fungus put an end to boom and bust.
8.65 million years agoKiller asteroid with
a silver lining
A 10-kilometer-wide rock ended the era of dinosaurs, and opened a window of opportunity for little animals called mammals.
9.6 million years agoBrains or brawn?When the going got tough in prehistoric East Africa, some of humanity's closest relatives went for bigger jaws, rather than bigger brains. Big mistake.
10.70,000
years ago
Inventing language,
the easy way
Fresh pastures meant a cosier life for early humans – they granted to learn to speak.
