Life on Mars

Tonight I had a vision of the future. It was not your lucid dreaming,
eyes open type of dream. This was more of a dream as if I was hearing
a story being told to me. The odd bit is that this story has a strong
feeling of realism as if it has happened already.

The story is sort of a western, but it takes place on Mars. It is a
story set into the future where we have colonized on mars. The type of
people who have colonized this new world are very independent people,
who for a short while want a taste of freedom. The type of freedom
that can only be had, by breaking away from the earth and the ever
watchful eye of its government.

The Earth government will of course be aware of this, as the only
types of people capable of settling a new colony are the type of
people who seek personal freedom and independence from the eyes of
government. The problem is, the government will turn a blind eye to
this for a moment whilst the colony is settled for the purpose of profit.

I foresee a time where these people will want freedom, from the Earth
and will attempt to declare their independence from earth and attempt
to break free as an independent entity. At this point I am sure some
form of interplanetary war will ensue with lives being lost both on
earth and on Mars. The eventuality is that Mars may gain its
independence from Earth after a long and bloody battle.

Unless people on this planet evolve and transcend the current thinking
pattern, all these things I have stated will come to pass. Its not a
matter of if they will happen, it is a matter of when. Mankind must
and will expand. It is our nature to explore. The only question in my
mind is are we going to spread as an evolved race or as a virus into
space colonizing and conquering as we go ? How long until we evolve as
a spiritual entity ? We are evolving technologically and as long as
their is no spiritual growth then war is coming and will continue
until we evolve beyond the ego.
