Life on the Planet Earth, through the instrumentality of the human nervous system, has begun to migrate from the Womb Planet, to escape from gene pools, to establish colonies in high orbit, from whence it can more accessibly contact and communicate with Life in the Galaxy.

Rocket-ships have attained the escape velocity necessary to ascend beyond the gravitational pull of the womb-planet.

Radio-telescope "dishes" now look out to the stars, ready to receive eletro-magnetic messages from intelligent neighbors.

Electronic signals are now transmitting through interstellar spare the message of human readiness to exchange and communicate.

The suspicion grows that we, who are about to leave this small satellite of a peripheral star, are neither alone nor isolated.

Within the life-time of many who read these lines, it could happen: our pioneer families will leave the solar system; interstellar messages will be received; contact will be made. The galactic discussion will begin.

It is about time to prepare for life in space as members of new, consciously selected gene pools.

It is about time to develop a philosophy, a psychology, the language to enable us to listen, understand, and respond intelligently to our interstellar neighbors.

The language is quantum, digital, psychogeometric.

Some among us will protest that human intelligence and human resources should be used to solve the agonizing terrestrial problems of unequal distribution.

These larval protests, however sincere, are embryonic, understandable and myopic.

The crisis of suffering and scarcity which now threatens humanity is not material. It is neuro-political warfare.

It has been called spiritual, psychological, philosophic It is best described as navigational. Humanity has not yet deciphered the genetic code. The compass, the guide-book is now being prepared.

Men and women who know from whence they come and where they are going, who share a vision beyond the local-mundane will emerge from the larval gene-pools and as cyber (pilot) individuals, who learn quickly, work effectively, grow naturally, socialize lovingly and evolve gracefully. It is probably true that species coast along on serene stupidity until faced with an evolutionary challenge; at which point individuals leave the primitive collectives and become very smarter very faster.

This book, a simple-minded attempt to provide a perspective of biological evolution on and from this planet, presents hundreds of neogenetic ideas for which some individual from every gene-pool are now ready. The transmission is presented in machine-printed letters although the topics discussed are electro-magnetic and quantum-physical. The reader should expect, therefore, that hir conditioned symbol-system is going to be jolted with unexpected and novel symbol combinations. This is exactly the situation that will exist when Higher Intelligence begins to talk cyber-quantum with a species of mechanical thinkers.

A human from the twentieth century would find it a most difficult and delicate task to explain "now" to a tool-maker from the sixteenth century. The sophisticated reader can avoid being irritated by some of the metaphors in this book if cultural time-lag is kept in mind.

Some good-will and open-ness towards the future is necessary in interspecies dialogues of this sort.

The importance of this post-terrestrial guidebook is that it exists. Here is a first attempt to prepare humanity for the outward journey, for post-terrestrial migration to the Info-Worlds.

Other and more sophisticated Info-psychologies will follow. Is there any more interesting or vital thing to do than to create futures?

The first attempt is deliberately eclectic and translational - linking the religious-occult to the scientific; the antique to the futique; the legends of the past to the data of the present.

We have suggested eight periods and twenty-four stages of neurological evolution as a didactic metaphor to anticipate, to specify, to order, to personalize, to familiarize the immense post-mechanical, meta-personal, post-Newtonian electron fields which are to be imprinted.

The illustrative metaphors are not important. What is crucial to humanity's graceful mutation is the understanding and personal application of Einsteinian, neuro-genetic, quantum-physical perspectives of who we are and whom we choose to become.
