The Meteoric Progress of Mankind in the last few Centuries
If we begin charting human progress and achievements from the Stone Age till now, we would end up with a parabolic curve, with the most progress being achieved in the last few centuries, at least in the physical and material sense.
Human life expectancy is getting higher and higher along with an increased quality of life for the aged. Technology has sent spacecraft out of our solar system transmitting rare photo and video footage of remote parts of the Universe back to Earth.
However, despite all this progress, there seems to be a lack of understanding of the purpose of our existence, and a total lack of tolerance of our different versions and levels of understanding of our overall purpose in life.
It is in this vaccuum then, that much bigotry, hatred and fear are sucked in, fueled by abject ignorance. This is the space that is occupied by the people who would want to take advantage of this uncomfortable flux, and gain world dominance in the process.
Some use economics and finance to dominate the world, and draw up rules, regulations and laws that raise the bar for anyone wanting to challenge their elite position. This is the perennial “war” between the “haves” and “have-nots”, and the “haves” always wanting more for themselves, while the “have-nots” strive to survive and prosper in spite of the barriers erected by the “haves”.
There is actually more than enough food and resources that the world produces to feed and clothe every human on Earth, but due to the greed of the elite “haves” many third world economies are just scraping by with malnutrition and starvation.
The world’s largest economy has been nicknamed as a “war economy” as much of their economy and riches is generated by weapons sales to its allies as well as to its “seen-to-be” enemies, built upon the graves of the war dead. There is a nagging suspicion that this nation actually uses its clandestine secret service(s) to cause unrest throughout the world, so that the wars caused will fund its economy. Of course, the elites have always used the world media that they control to say all this is just conspiracy theorists’ wet dreams.
This unrest and insecurity can only exist in the above vaccuum caused by a lack of Man’s progress in other than material achievements. Although human consciousness and human understanding of the purpose of Life has also progressed, the progress has been slow and arduous, and haphazard at best, and because of this, bigotry thrives.
The seeds of discord are then sown in its many myriad forms throughout the world, in all areas, in religious differences, in culture, in the way we dress, walk, eat, talk, think, feel, and many more.
It is Time we navigate through this man-made mess, and see the Truth for what it is.
