Namaste, Is not this whole post just an example of intellectual verbose cognitive dissonanc carnalitas??????????If there were mental olympics this would be in the top gymnast class. It is the level of awareness that is effected by meat eating attitudes or non discrimination or cognitive dissonance carnalitas. Humans are different from other animals in that their natural evolution was interfered with in some way thousands of years ago and 'sub-humans' and 'mixed hominids' were mixed again to produce the 'human being' in at time of almost complete depopulation on the planet. This has the effect of leaving modern humans with more animal traits than as if there had been a natural evolution. The previous life of every human is in their samskaras any way including previous animal lives. It is these samskaras or intstinctive drives that interfere with the development of Daya or compassion, and hence prevent 'realisation'. They are an impediment accompanied with cognitive dissonance carnalitas..........Humans are 1. animal. 2. aspiring human.3 human. 4.'divine human'..Intelligence and IQ are not related to this only the state of awareness in the vijnanamayakosa...........Cheers Tony. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
