The original post seems to have disappeared, but it mentioned something about "millions of years" before we could attain alien-type consciousness and technology.
Let's not forget that though time is a lot of fun, it's just an idea. Our consciousness already contains those "millions of years" and a whole lot more (or a whole lot less, if we prefer), and when we remember that, we can let go of the illusion our senses are insisting on and essentially *be* anywho, anywhere, anywhen we need, right Here, and Now. This is a kind of FTL, faster-than-light (and faster than time), approach to the Universe. "What *would* it feel like/look like/etc. if we *could* do this?" is often a great way to get around our inner spacetime censor. I've found it can be a bit iffy at first, like rusty water coming out of a long-unused pipe, but as we practice "channeling" our "future enlightenment" Now, trusting the presence in the crown (and the sacred- heart and the feet) more and more, we can "apperceive" this more and more clearly. As far as I can see, at a certain point this is the only way to *be* truly content :-)
