This was part of the comment stream from Affirmations, Thought-Forms, And Changing the Negative Tapes In Our Heads, as relevant today as when I originally wrote it. It was a part of my answer to the question "Any gravitational light to shed on the irrationality taking form today in the middle east?" I started with "Humanity is haunted by its lack of power to control outcomes fueled by fear of the unknown. Our global "leaders" lack imagination, and are utter incompetents in the face of the mindless violence dominating the Middle East, as well as many urban centers globally. Whether armies or gangs, police or militias, the response is brutal and offends humanity's higher sensibilities." Of course there's more...
You may want to check out the linked article anew, since it covers a lot of ground in some important areas of our lives. If you don't have the time or inclination, my original response was:
Watching John Stewart last night interviewing John Dean was interesting. Dean's new book, "Conservatives Without Compassion" speaks of the problems of the rampant authoritarianism in our country. Of course, it's everywhere, and inadequate to address the root causes of the pandemic global violence.
Humanity is haunted by its lack of power to control outcomes fueled by fear of the unknown. Our global "leaders" lack imagination, and are utter incompetents in the face of the mindless violence dominating the Middle East, as well as many urban centers globally. Whether armies or gangs, police or militias, the response is brutal and offends humanity's higher sensibilities. Gandhi would have been appalled, as is anyone who cares for the plants, animals, and children of our world. If there is an "anti-Christ," it's the energy of violence that destroys world culture, world peace, and the harmony of human cooperation. Of course, this authoritarianism cannot last, as eventually the people become tired of fear and violence.
One thing I haven't addressed in this column before now is that Earth is at an evolutionary "fail safe" point, and in the not-so-distant future will reach a developmental stage where the violent ones will go to a different evolutionary petrie dish and leave this fragile Earth to heal for about 36,000 years. The future of humanity is fairly bright in the long term, though at some point tens of thousands of years from now the Earth and the life forms associated with its development will evolve into non-chemical substance. Life won't end, but it will transmute the density of its forms to a more etherial, subtle state. Everything will be as "real" as it is today, but not nearly as dense. And there will be no violence as we know it today.
