Probably you should read the books that my grandfather (an ETH professor in philosophy and mathematics) wrote about this theme. But as it might take you many millions of years to get through the dry and complex texts written in a foreign language, I will distil their quintessence out of them for you. In a nutshell:
The way is the goal! The grey matter between your ears is learning by doing, Witchey! How do you think a child makes neurological progress?
When more and more people learn to use their brain in a new way (or learn to consciously access certain apparently unused areas thereof), this will spread out exponentially via the collective unconscious connecting all of humanity. Guess what happens then?
But, to go back to granddaddy, it's quite possible that the ultimate answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything will *never* be found.
Only relative answers can be found, valid in a certain context for the time being, and that's all you could comprehend anyway at any given time. Yet there is immense value to every step we master! Although sooner or later, we must continue our journey to a yet higher level of understanding, on our soul's eternal path to infinite knowledge.
Now I must admit that granddaddy didn't use such colourful esoteric terms (I guess he would have got kicked out of the university), rather, he presented his
Open Philosophy in academically perfectly acceptable terminology, hoping to reach mathematicians and natural scientists. Did they get his message?
Do they realize how naïve it is to claim we are one step from a TOE (Theory of Everything) when we haven't got a clue what well over 90% of the Universe consists of? Whenever science thought it was only lacking a few more answers, actually finding them opened up a Universe of new questions, and new exploration.
Oh, and let me tell you what it will open up to this time: To a Universe in which Spirit will be acknowledged not as a function of highly organized matter but as a force in its own right.
Remember, we
are at the Golden Dawn of a New Aeon (call it the age of Aquarius or of Horus, I couldn't care less).
And I would really like to know human spirituality in 2000 years from now. (Most of all their Tarot decks then.) - Hoping that my brain could capture it.
Never fight about such questions with the grandson of the once leading philosopher of science (at least according to the Great Swiss Encyclopedia; okay, you might object that the author could have been nationally biased).
Personally, I don't like spiteful spirits too much, unless they have a really good sense of humour.
