Hive Mind

A Chapter from the Book "AHYOKA: The Last Neanderthal"

Abstract

The following is a chapter titled "Hive Mind" from John Bickart’s newest book, a collection of essays called “AHYOKA: The Last Neanderthal."

The Truth About AHYOKA
The truth is ... I was not visited by a CaveWoman, a CaveMan or any Cave Individual, by the name of Ahyoka or any other name, from tens of thousands of years ago. I just made up the whole story. I am using a book of dialogues with Ahyoka to tell you what I think humankind used to be - and further - what I think humankind can become if we integrate our distant past selves with our current selves. You see, I have been obsessed with the idea of what the next version of humankind will become since I can remember - perhaps since I was three years old. I think that - more than having that idea - that idea had me - just about all of my life. So, this book is indirectly my way of guessing how the consciousness of humankind could have had two versions up until now, as we are about to enter the third version of humankind - HUMANKIND 3.0. Version 1.0 would have been the version Ahyoka came from - the prehistorics - the indigenous humans who came before anyone was using language to write down history. Version 2.0 is us - basically from tens of thousands of years ago until just recently. Version 3.0 is the human consciousness some of us think we are already becoming.
I think I'm one of them.
