The 1970 music album called (A Soft Wind) Blows Against the Empire (don’t we need that now?) by Jefferson Starship, was the first music album to be nominated for a Hugo Award in the category of Best Dramatic Presentation.

There was a line in that album that sparked my imagination.

“More than human can we be.”

There is not much in our culture that supports that notion. Yet something inside me believes it to be true.

The image of a centrifuge has recently come to mind. A centrifuge, as you know, spins a substance at high speed, allowing the densest material to separate from the finer, lighter material. I think who we are might just be such a substance. Our consciousness has settled in this densest material, this physical, human body. Yet we sometimes experience vibrations from that less dense realm of ourselves. A realm that overcomes the illusion of linear time. In this eternal now, separation is also revealed to be an illusion. When we tune our mind toward love, brotherhood, sharing and justice, the veil to these higher vibrations gets thinner.

My wish for humanity is that we all, together, begin to experience that more than human can we be.
