The divine purpose - God hypothesis II.

 The existence of a superior mind in a divine state with the intention of supporting other existing minds is a necessary consequence of the evolution of the mind. What is the purpose of a superior mind in a divine state with the intention of supporting the existence of the mind?

Mind can exist in many forms, and no two minds in the universe are identical, and different existing minds are most likely at different levels of knowledge and ability too. However, there is a general common feature of the mind in the process of discovering reality, the mind searches for the existence of another mind and seeks connection with it. 

However, there are potential risks associated with relationships between minds. One historical example of the risk is the European discovery of America, which resulted in the displacement or extinction of pre-existing native societies. Similar risk factors may have contributed to the extinction of the Neanderthals too.

The disparity in cognitive ability among organisms bearing minds fundamentally determines the way in which they can interact with each other. 

The common perspective among humans is that an advanced extraterrestrial intelligence would annihilate humanity by using us as a resource or dominating us as a competitor. This line of thinking, though, stems from and is typical of the naturally evolving biological species, where genetic inheritance affects thought processes and ultimately behavior.

The main factors driving natural evolution are fighting over resources and having competitive relationships. Cooperation can also arise in natural evolution, but it typically requires either complete self-abandonment or the evolutionary emergence of reciprocal altruism (tit-for-tat behavior), which is an occasional, unstable, and therefore risky form for conscious cooperation. 

Humans can cooperate and our cooperative behavior appears boundless. However, due to our other inherent evolutionary characteristics, cooperation may not serve to protect us, and may even contribute to the destruction of ourselves and others, only need to consider wars as the example.

The human race still exists in a state of subordinate mind, because human actions are not fundamentally determined by the protection of the existing mind. Given the human ability to possess the mind, however, if humanity can free itself from its biological evolutionary origins, it has the potential to reach the level of the superior mind. 

A mind, if it has enough time, will surpass natural evolutionary development, and evolve in a directed manner to prolong its existence. Directed evolution no longer has to be based on the rational but selfish characteristics of natural evolution, since natural evolution is based on the fundamentals of resources and competition, which is detrimental to the development of mutual relationship, but directed evolution allows for the primacy of cooperation as a fundamental form of behavior that determines development based on interaction, and can form the naturally existing altruistic behavior of love.  

A mind that can establish direct contact with another mind across the boundaries of space, and can sustain itself in an environment fundamentally different from where it is naturally evolved, is certainly no longer in the natural evolutionary stage of development, but has entered a directed evolutionary state, which, by forgiving the limiting properties for cooperation of natural evolution, carries the capacity for unlimited cooperative behavior without self-abandonment.

The directed evolutionary state is the state of existence for a superior mind, a mind that recognizes the universal value of mind and acts according to protect it. The intention of promoting a mind to become a superior form of mind that is able to live in harmony with the environment, which is the form of stable existence, is the way to protect the existence of the mind. 

What is the meaning of the existence of different superior minds? Advancement to a superior level of mind, which already consciously protects the existence of the mind, allows sustainable relationships between different entities of minds, and creates the possibility of safe cooperation with each other.

A mind can form mutual relationships with other minds at a state of superior mind with the possibility of unlimited cooperation, and the reason for forming mutual relations is provided by the advantage of cooperation. Cooperation necessarily increases the potential capabilities of cooperating systems.

For a superior mind, the meaningful relationships with other minds lies in the value of collaboration. Hence, the logical objective of a superior mind is to guide a subordinate mind towards achieving the level of superior mind for enabling to form direct contact with other minds for the purpose of safe cooperation. 

The divine purpose is to create new iterations of superior minds.
