Imagine
a single clan of human on earth, no nations, its social fabric woven from
the beauty, perspective, and humility, the understanding of our objective reality
can afford. To see earth as it is, a fragile globe 90 million miles from a
nuclear fireball a million times our size reveals our collective fragility and interdependence, resulting in a greater compassion and
tolerance for all of life. A glimpse at the nearly incomprehensible
beauty of a single oak leaf - from shade, coolness, and green verdant beauty as
part of a whole - the tree - to the incredible complexity of photosynthesis at
its molecular level, to the unimaginable in its quantum world. A miracle of
complexity and beauty turning sunlight into an oak tree. One simple leaf.
Now
imagine cutting down its tree for toilet paper.
Knowledge and perspective of our objective reality can change everything.
Knowledge and perspective of our objective reality can change everything.
So much
of who we are, how we think, our desires, our aspirations and wishes are based
in ignorance and human invention - made up constructs that are not real, and
fail us, have failed us at the cost of so much human suffering, murder, and now
the destruction of our environment. Money, myth, gods, nations, corporations.
None of these are real, and as our technology grows will lead us to our
destruction.
The
cost of our salvation? We must abandon so much of who we think we are and evolve or we
will perish. We must look outwards to our objective reality and abandon our
inter-subjective constructs. If enough people abandon the concept of nation, it
will cease to exist - because it is real only in terms of the subjective
consciousness of the many. The same can be true of religion, money, success,
power, corporation.
