My term for imagining what Humans might become.

Maybe it is the journey we find ourselves on: Human Becomings.

So different are we to our ancestors we appear not to be human anymore.

From being reactive creatures, we have developed abilities to respond.  We overcome and keep going – migrating over the earth, adapting to all climates and conditions, and now on the brink of populating the galaxy.

More than responding, we are seeing how it is possible for every Human to initiate: to creatively act upon what we understand to be a universe of abundance.

The invitation and challenge of being part of this great Human adventure and story came to me again this morning.

I found myself pondering whether vulnerability is one of the greatest means by which we involve ourselves in becoming [morethan]human, enabling being open to and needing others.

The future Human is a more connected human.

Brené Brown admits ‘it never dawned on me that adults could love each other like that, that I could be loved for my vulnerabilities, not despite them.’*

I wonder where my default setting of “needing to do this on my own” comes from.  Why can’t the default setting be, “we do this together”?

Perhaps, as we’ve developed, we’ve only layered pride and shame over our basic survival instincts – feeling ourselves to be less than functioning as a woman or man ought.

Perhaps we are leaving our more primitive instincts behind, our awareness and consciousness continuing to develop.  The tools we make are increasingly for  connecting.  Slowly we’re becoming a more connected species, even while there are always some who disconnect and seek to control others – a mutant form of connection?

This [morethan]human, connected future will increasingly be benevolent, forgiving, justice-seeking, boundary-crossing towards desiring every life to flourish
