P: Indeed! Let's take a shot at it! At a superficial level is just identification. People feel they are just their thoughts, their memories, their beliefs. So, it's natural to try to make others in our own image. It's what some think God did. But at a deeper level, those who think they found truth, know they were born to the contemplation of perfection, and that the vision of perfection was somehow perverted and stripped away by their culture. To those who have found the way back to that vision, it becomes imperative to change the culture. It's like a man who finds himself in a strange city and knows that when he falls sleep tonight he will loose all his memories. So he goes around telling people his name, and who he is, in the hope that tomorrow, if he happens to meet them again and he asks " who am I " ? They would know. Of course, the more people he tells, the better his chances he will stumble on then tomorrow. So we intuit every newborn is us all over again, an only if the culture is sensitive enough to protect the vision of unity, we have a chance to keep 'true nature' unsullied by the delusion of individuality. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
