Yes, indeed, it is like sisters.....ct

in conciousness....Thank you for appreciating my insights, as i do yours. I am asbsolutely fascinated by the way our beliefs create our reality..I actually do feel very strongly, that the belief in 'original sin', is the cornerstone of the problem in western civilization..And it is most highlighted in religious fundamentalism..
As long as people believe they are innately flawed, they will look to authorities to think for them, cause they don't trust themselves. And they will never own their shadows, cause it is too scary. And they will keep killing and being destructive, cause even if they 'know' better, they don't feel they can do any better, cause they are sinners..So then we also get into that 'victim/victimizer' world view..As we see with all the assumptions that holocausts are inevitable. Because everyone assumes the 'nefarious' nature of human beings...Because they believe this, and i feel it is a deep part of the psyche, then this is how they see human history..So they keep playing it out..
Indeed , i feel that our very assumptions about the nature of human nature, need to shift. Paradigm shift..That will be our Noah's Ark..Also, because of the original sin belief, people, deep within, are waiting for a saviour..someone to come from 'beyond' to rescue us from ourselves...And it isn't gonna happen..But i think that many people believe this...
Well, what is so scary now, i mean sometimes the terror moves through my body, is that the u.s. has a gov't that actually wants armegeddon, so that they can be 'taken up' in the rapture....Global annihilation is now a credible option..That is why it is so irrational..And Bush, being an evangilical fundamentalist, (whose cornerstone is terror of their shadow, due to the original sin belief), sees their own demons in every living thing..So they try to destroy all that is organic and real...And this includes the very planet itself, as we see happening..I think it goes beyond power and money. Their is an absolute contempt for life itself..(except fetuses)..O.k., i shall stop my little rave here...regards, rita
