All the strife and problems that our society face today are nothing more than the process of learning, an illusion, and the manifestation of the singular ego.
There is a base belief that there is safety in numbers. In meaning, people have the basic instinct to gather in masses, to believe as we all believe. It is in this instinct that lies the very truth of our nature. It implies a growing attempt to live out this knowledge and bring about the growing realization that there is a secret spirit, a divine reality, in which we are all one.
It is our pure existence and pure potentiality that reaches for the final thought, that we are as one as we are separate. The one is never really one, and never could be. It was never a singular consciousness from the beginning, we have always been a collective state, and all else was that of the illusion.
This is why death, suffering, and hateful acts upon all, not just humanity, bring us great pain and sadness. Humanity is struggling to find its roots, grasping for answers. The answers are here now, but we have not yet trained our minds to hear or our hearts to see.
There must be the realization by the individual that only in the life of his fellowmen is his own life complete. Humanity must develop not merely a fellowship with its own, but a dominant sense of unity and commonalty with all life. Only when he is aware of all, not merely as other beings but as parts of himself, will we enter into a spiritual completeness. It is my belief this would create a collective psychological state not dependent upon any intellectual or outward uniformity and compel a oneness of life not bound up with its mechanical means of unification or forced belief systems.
We must harness the duality of life in general and stop the destruction and selfish use of the mind, body and spirit of all living beings before the illusion can be dispelled. The truth behind the illusion is ever pressing towards the hour when it may become reality. This would be the first step for a higher type of human existence and the beginning of the end of human suffering. |
