They say that the sign that a species of sentient beings are achieving a higher state of consciousness is when its individual members start extending their sphere of loving and affection beyond just a select few immediate acquaintances in order to embrace all living beings.
Do you believe that this is a higher state of consciousness? If so, do you believe that it is happening amongst your own kind right now?
I have already achieved this stage because I think you are all positively adorable. You have these fragile little hairless and scaleless bodies that are warm and huggable and your soft undertummies are simply pokeable!

I believe you are right, but a higher state of consciousness will always be aware of a lower state therefore if you were of that state you would know the foolishness of asking questions.
Only a higher state can trully meet your needs.
Many people are of a different mind believing state of consciousness is measured materially, or publicly, and these represent the ordinary person.
They would say you are falling lower and lower from conscious reality.
They may say you are Bi-polar.
They will say you are a cop-out.
To them a higher state is being able to predict mans next move and to profit by it.
They will say Bill Gates is a higher being because his donations to charity exceed the wealth of many nations, and hail him as a model of humanity.
And that a poor man who gives his shirt to a cold rich man is a fool and an idiot.
I believe when man lets go of all attachments in life he has much more free capacity to attain a higher state of consciousness.
Therefore I am not fit to answer your question. Nor am I fit to judge your height.
My opinion is eternally low-level and subject to change without notice even though I agree with you today.
There are several thousand highly enlightened people on the earth today, and many thousand more charlatans....
I believe the first sign of true consciousness is wherever a person be so there also will that persons euphoria inspire rapture, and love.

YES THERE ARE HIGHER BEINGS OUT THERE AND HERE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE RESONS GOD SENT HIS SON.
Do you believe that this is a higher state of consciousness? If so, do you believe that it is happening amongst your own kind right now? YES, AGAIN THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS GOD SENT HIS SO SO HE COULD HAVE CHILDREN. THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE AS GOD.
(Luk 20:36 ) Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
(Rom 8:16 ) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
(Gal 3:26) For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Higher to what? Higher than fish? Higher than Reptiles? Then yes. Higher than primates? Higher than what we are now? Then no. Both Primates and humans already display signs of love outside your own species. Can everyone say Pets? --- I thought so.
Hmm, I suddenly have visions of a walking Croc getting a little too friendly.
