Abstract

The evolution of Cognitive Thinking changed the thought processes of the human brain those which we carry forward from our ancestors in the animal kingdom as thoughts of fear, fight, and flight which was necessary for the survival of a species, into evolved thought processes of religions, cultures, philosophies, and science. The Spiritual Thought Process which grew in this ecosystem of different thoughts helped in creating, controlling, reforming, correcting, and further changing of Humanity. We can find many definitions of ‘Spirituality’ in different texts, but most of the time it is connected to the religions directly or indirectly. ‘Spirit’ or ‘Soul’ also defined and perceived in innumerable ways in religions, cultures, science, and philosophies, which makes complex to define Spirituality. Most of the time we follow a religion or belief (including atheism) to realize our Spirituality. With all practical purposes and to make it less complicated, we can consider all positive thoughts of enriching and propagating life in its different forms in religions, cultures, philosophies, and science as Spiritual Thoughts. Therefore, the spiritual thoughts always helped in solving and finding the solutions for different conflicting human thoughts of religions, cultures, nationalities, ethnicities, etc. including science by creating channels for communication between different ideas and their followers. If we follow the human history of last few thousand years, it is evident that the human cognitive thinking is evolving to the dimensions where Scientific Thought Processes are getting prominence among all major thought processes of religion, cultures, and philosophies. The new scientific theories like Evolutionary Theories and Quantum Physics have a tremendous impact on the ecosystem of human thought processes with a noticeable shift in religious and philosophic descriptions of life and its existence in the light of concepts of matter and energy. We are in an era of mutual coexistence of religion and science helping each other at the level of society as well as at the level of individual human thinking. We can see a common evolved thought which is always positive and progressive to nurture life on earth in all types of ideas, this evolved thought can be considered as ‘Spiritual Thought’ or ‘Spirituality’ by various existing definitions available. After the Industrial revolution specifically in the last 50 years with the rapid development of science and technology we are having fewer wars, far less violent conflicts, and enhanced cooperative efforts to save the planet. Though humanity is facing challenges, simultaneously the collective human efforts are becoming more effective and helpful with the creation of a ‘Global Village’ with improved technological means for communications. After ‘Industrial Revolution’ we are heading towards a ‘Spiritual Revolution’ where science, religions, and cultural philosophies are appearing to amalgamate with all their positivity, with tremendous corrective impact on their negativities. The future of humanity in the 21st century is going to be more Spiritual and less Religious where science and technology are going to play a more significant role in defining life beyond human existence.

Highlights

  • All human thoughts evolved from the original thoughts of survival of the mammalian world; those are fear, fight, flight, and sex

  • New kind of complex problems created by human beings themselves appeared catastrophic in the near future

  • In the first half of last century, we saw great upheaval and unrest at the level of individual and collective human thoughts, it further enhanced in the evolution of Spiritual Thought Process as a distinct and independent thought process

Summary

Introduction

All human thoughts evolved from the original thoughts of survival of the mammalian world; those are fear, fight, flight, and sex. In the evolutionary process of transforming the thoughts of survival, i.e. fear, fight, flight, and sex into the human thoughts of cultures, religions, science, and various philosophies, the spiritual thought evolved as controlling measure to keep all thoughts connected and positive at the individual and collective grounds. Personal individual thought of rights of an independent citizen made the base for the human rights which created ways for views of animal rights as well with all their national and international impacts on governments, societies, cultures, science, religions, belief systems, and organizations as a collective positive thought
