I have just read this entire thread, and two things come to mind;
1. My belief for years has been that all humans come into this world the same, naked and screaming, and it is only individual perception that
separates us from others, depending on how we have been educated and indoctrinated from birth by our elders; and,
2. My sincere belief is that organised religion (Christianity, Islam, Jewish, Hindu, and all the others) has been the root cause of all division
between us, as each religion teaches its followers that their God is the supreme being, and all other religions' Gods are false and evil. So many
wars and conflicts have been caused by one group of religious people trying to impose their beliefs on others, such as the Crusades, and the Middle
East conflict, even down to the Troubles in Northern Ireland, it is no wonder that we are more divided today than at any time in our history.
Everybody has the same potential for good or evil, it is how we are educated as children that shapes our consciousness and the way we percieve the
world around us. As posted previously, man is a tribal species, and has been for millions of years, but if only we could see past our limited vision
of others, we might just start to behave like a human race, instead of groups of humans racing each other to be the superior power in our own little
bubble.
To be truthful, I can not see how the human race can ever unite as one while we allow ourselves to be divided by these opposing mindsets, but
eventually everyone will have to look past their individual prejudices and beliefs to see the bigger picture, that we make our own history, and we do
not have to rely on history created by previous generations to guide us, only learn from their errors and try to improve as a species.
Individual beliefs are influenced by those around us as we learn and become aware of our surroundings as children, and so the same old ideologies and
'traditions' are imposed on us as we grow, shaping our thoughts into narrow streams of understanding, with all of the old divisions and hatreds
programmed into us, so the same little enclaves continue to thrive, all trying to impose their version of the 'truth' onto the conciousness of other
people.
The bottom line, as I see it, is that we all have to see ourselves as members of a species that needs to unite as one to survive. By this, I do not
necessarily mean the NWO, as this is just one more sort of mind control, with one group of people ruling the rest, and telling them how to live their
lives, but more like a collective consciousness between all of us, that we are all together on this rock in space, and we need to work together as one
to make the best use of our existence, and to better ensure the onward progression of our species, instead of trying to wipe out all those that do not
believe the same things as our little enclave.
It all boils down to one simple principle - adapt and survive, or fail to change our ways and become intellectually extinct.
