THE HUMAN CONDITION YEARNS TO UNDERSTAND IT’S HUMAN EXPERIENCE
People want to know why they’re here and how they got here. Ego-driven pride or maybe self-respect makes individuals want to look like they are comfortable in their own skin. People fashion and put on masks to pho-show what they think best represents their conditioned idea of what’s in sync with the shadow of reality they’re at the time recognizing. They use most of their energy treading present-moment water.
Humanity’s great collective subconscious abyss … where humanity’s life answers lie is just beyond our conscious awareness. This void in mankind’s conscious understanding in some way creates each individual’s waking ’emptiness’ in what we do not understand. This can consume us with fear and worry. We try to figure it out ourselves or look to theology for answers.
“Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil in us, but our ’emptiness’. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.”
– Eric Hoffer 1983 Presidential Award of Freedom
Humanity’s collective ’emptiness’ of understanding can be summed up. Everybody longs to know how the life principles that support present-moment change affect their conditioned perception of ongoing change and how that affects our emotional balance. In one way or another, all people strive knowingly or unknowingly to understand the great white light of emotional/heavenly blissful paradise.
Science is theology until its questioned unverified theory is experientially proven to be self-evident. This allows the conscious understanding of the once mysterious combination of the natural principles controlling the theory’s unverified stature to rise from mankind’s subconscious awareness to be collectively accepted and recognized as being self-evident. The questioned theory is then accepted as a factual structural part of the Tree of Life truth that defines the ongoing change that animates reality’s ever-passing present moment. We can be sure that the god Zeus isn’t still up in the clouds throwing lightning bolts.
Religious theology and cult logic are actually synonymous … forever unverifiable … whose followers rely totally on unsupported borrowed wisdom promising a future outcome … period … Their believers wonder through life blinded by their faith … looking up into the clouds when thinking spiritually and not inside.
THE PROMISED WISDOM OF A CULT LEADER
ADAM/EVE HAD BLIND FAITH IN EDEN SNAKE’S PROMISED TREE OF KNOWLEDGE WISDOM
… WHEN CONFRONTED BY THEIR GOD, THEIR EMPTINESS OF UNDERSTANDING LEFT BY THE PROMISED WISDOM BROUGHT ON SHAME
… THEY COVERED THEIR ‘EMPTINESS” OF UNDERSTANDING SHAME WITH FIG LEAVES
… TO FILL THEIR ‘EMPTINESS’ WITH UNDERSTANDING, A CULT MEMBER’S SHORTCUT IS TO COMPROMISE THEIR FREEWILL BY TAKING A BITE OF THE APPLE OF THE UNDERSTANDING PROMISED BY THE CULT LEADER’S WISDOM
“It’s easier to fool people than it is to convince them they’ve been fooled.”
-Mark Twain
There’s no sane reason for trying to educate any of Trump’s followers. They need to gain an appreciation for the value of altruism-spawned empathy and how that can underwrite compassion before they will ever dig deep enough to find the confidence to conjure up the desire-driven motivation to chance the courage to step off the cult belief system and think for themselves.
… WHEN CORNERED WITH REALITY, CULTISTS COVER SHAME FROM THEIR ‘EMPTINESS’ OF UNDERSTANDING WITH ANGER
