I hope you aren't assuming that I or anyone else is claiming to be 'more evolved' than anyone. I'm sorry if that wording confused, but all I meant was we had the capacity to, as a species.
In my humble opinion, if saying that makes any difference, we must choose this option and not sit around waiting to feel something happen. I feel that it would take a vast collective consciousness, and that today we are no where near what it would need to be. I think that knowing it is a choice is the most important part of it.
I'm glad that you do personally believe that it could happen, and I agree with your criticisms of money hungry 'gurus'. I do feel though.. that your repeated use of the word starve is pulling at emotions. If you look at it as starving yourself, you will starve. And it does seem that some of those you mentioned for some reason advocated that practice. It seems like it would take a complete mind and body transformation to achieve this state of being, which can only be done over long periods of time, constantly learning new things and reaffirming your beliefs. If one does tell them self they are being starved, that may just be something they need to overcome with their attitude.
I don't understand your, pardon the strong word, obsession with needing proof. You do seem somewhat angry with all the imitators who give it a bad name, and it seems that you would only want to prove this to people, not for the money, but to spite everyone who did it wrong or didn't believe. While that would work in converting many skeptics to a cause, I can't help but get a feeling that it's in some way driven by the ego. I'm not here to judge anyone, and I'm certainly not going to judge you based on any of this. I'm merely responding to what you have written, and I appreciate you bringing up legitimate points of concern. I feel that we're on the same page, but have different concerns for a similar goal.
