For the past 25 years or so I've sought the genesis of my own thoughts and beliefs in an attempt to find the truth of my own being. This path has been very rewarding and illuminating. Essentially, once I discovered that humans can be taught like dogs to believe anything, anything at all, i've decided to keep my own counsel, but always filtered through sound reason. Not that I disregard intuition or at times a spiritual "knowing", but that these sources must too bear the scrutiny of reason. As far as humans coming to the realization that unless we transform our self deception and ignorance into an understanding of "what is" we're screwed...well, I've not seen much evidence of that. I do hope you are right however. Perhaps posts such as yours will add to the momentum of such a transformation. Oh, and by the way, the hideous creature we call public education in the US is spawning a flood of ignorant zealots who rush about with pitchforks and torches fueled by emotion and propaganda. But you know that. Pray God something will illuminate their minds other than flaming garbage. Best regards.

Just a bit of that sound reason is enough to dissolve the belief systems, all that remains then are sentimental attachments to the traditions and customs. The transformation of the general awareness has been slow, but the conversations that I once could only hold with a few friends has expanded into common dialogue, and even strangers seem to be willing to talk conspiracy or once-unpopular topics. The biggest religions that are skewing reality these days are money and government, but even now money is under transformation, the old system no longer compatible with our consciousness. After money loses some of it's grip on the group mind, government will become obsolete anyway, with all of it's cumbersome appendages no longer needed by an aware society, or a group who collectively no longer believes the crap that the old system tried to feed them. Even the popular garbage that is currently being produced by the public school system is showing how manipulated we are as a whole, and that will be noticed by the awakening individuals as it becomes more absurd to the rational minds of the many. That's how I see things going, and I like to envision good things for the world I suppose.
Well, I like that you have an inquisitive and thinking mind. And were I to pick a prophet I'd choose you over myself. I hope you are right. I suppose the weight of human history sways my attitude, however I must admit that humans have come far in the past 200 years. Perhaps there is hope.
