To return to "being" part of this planet, Earth, and to make ourselves available to the Dreamtime is to make ourselves available to evolution sans technological progress.

So, as for the salvation of the human species by space travel & colonizing planets like Mars, humans would only be exporting the problem, as their sick way of "being," out into the universe at large. No solution. Settler colonialism is murderous. Period.

Postmodern, secular, atheistic Western culture is Wetiko. Competitive, dog eat dog, crass materialism manifesting as a cutthroat, vulture economic system that's killing everything. This is symptomatic of a deep-rooted psycho/spiritual malady in the Western psyche or soul.

Humans are (for the most part) seriously sick spiritually. This sickness is so far advanced in postmodern Western culture that it's evolved into a viral, collective form of mass insanity. Amongst the Indigenous to Northern America, this sickness is called being "Wetiko."

The only possible way out is through. In healing our psyche at a soul level while simultaneously halting further destruction of the Earth. While there still may be time.

If you've followed this thread of me replying to myself this far, the inescapable conclusion is there's simply no escaping our dilemma possible. We cannot & won't somehow escape our current looming catastrophe by running off to anywhere, not even another planet. The catastrophe is in our psyche.

Wherever you go, there you are.

We must evolve with Earth as inherently part of this planet. Dreams of intergalactic civilization beginning with the "conquest" of Mars are, instead, a nightmare. Doing so, humanity won't begin an intergalactic Genesis there. Instead, humanity will only, inevitably, reenact the Apocalypse there too.
