for some years now it has been the writer's intention to write
an entry specifically addressing the problems
that accompany people's sense of identity
the entry, called identity, responsibility and happiness, was
inspired by a neils bohr, appears to have found its
natural place and the time here
two of the main causes that furnish the divisions between us and
which allows wars and animosity to flourish are
nationality and ethnicity
it was recognised many years ago that a persons identity is
tightly bound up with her and his (mainly his)
sense of national identity
it is so thoroughly ingrained into a persons sense of identity
that the mere mention of not seeing oneself as
not belonging to the country they live in
has a treacherous tinge to it
" for king and country " is, and has been for many centuries,
the rallying cry when mustering a fighting force
it is currently being successfully
reinforced via the
oligarch-controlled mainstream media
for a day or two just count the number of times the word
british or england is used on british t.v. programmes
and you will get the picture and understand
why it is that
britain is the most unequal society in the western world
it's not just this country, it's all of them
even the handful of countries who aren't
controlled by the oligarch's do it
it's the same systemic creeping-death that has found its way
into every country in the world via the old testament
through the notion of unintentional murder
there is some relief coming through the european union which
is successfully ridding the continent of the nationalistic
outlook which whips up divisions but even
here religion is a closet issue
the problem of identity has its roots in a person's inability to compare the finite numerical
value of individuals against the overwhelming and incomprehensible
reality of endless space
the realization of just how thinly spread out life is within the
infinite will produce the recognition of just how
appallingly few of us there are
what people see around them in the world is the complete
opposite of our timeless, eternal reality
over-crowded cities, self-serving motivations, people ready to
snuff out people's lives at the drop of a hat
it's a complete nightmare
the extremes are being pointed out in an attempt to bring
about a thought or two in your mind that the here
and now is no more than a fleeting moment
of the greater reality awaiting
those who choose it
the changes that are going to happen over this coming millennium alone
are beyong most peoples ability to envisage
it's time to start thinking beyond your lifetime
thinking beyond your lifetime will make the future more of a reality
forget about people who want to keep things the way they are
they belong to the past
this dream itself is the second one in which an inter-action
with an african woman has contained insights
both the first one and this one have in common that aspect of
character which is so appealing it borders on fantasy
all four of the ethnicities have their fair share of devolving beings
and it will serve us well to keep in mind the bigger
picture of evolution before allowing ourselves
to form outlooks that favour
one over the other
any thought which reduces the stature of other beings will
reduce your own standing within love/life
the frame of mind that will keep you on an even keel should
be along the lines of recognising that the frailties and
foibles between one type of man shaped being and
anothercame and come from the mistake
we live in linear time and it's not possible to turn back the
clock
however, it is possible, through repetitive practise, to rectify
those things which do not contain the unreality of non existence
the more often you think the thought that all man shaped
beings are/were invaluable the more you become part
of the forward thrust of life
by taking responsibility for your thoughts and identifying with
all other man shaped beings the happiness this fleeting
time reality contains will produce the feel for life expressed in
this dream
