[PeDAGoG] [REDlistserve] Exploring the impact of literacy in the making of ANTHROPOCENTRIC 'MODERN' HUMANS

Mon May 30 03:31:06 CEST 2022

I believe that if humanity is ever going to get it right and create a world
of peace, justice, liberty, and abundance for all, humanity needs to
understand who each one of us is, that is, we must move from the belief
that it is our individuation, i.e. the ego or personality that is who we
are, to a more profound and accurate comprehension which is that not only
are we individuated, but at the same time we are all a part of the tree of
life, and in particular, the branch of homo sapiens. This is easy to see
from this metaphor: How foolish it would be if a leaf had consciousness and
believed it was only a leaf without realizing that it is also a part of a
tree.

Once this realization saturates humanity, it will be much more difficult
for everyone to accept the current atrocities that beset humanity every day
such as starvation, war, propaganda, poverty, etc. and much more likely to
create a more beautiful world that resides inside of everyone´s heart.

Unconditional love for everyone is not very difficult. One only needs to
love the divine that abides within all living beings and at the same time
abhore all asocial, cruel, and dishonest behavior. Simply separate the
action from the purity that may be buried or hidden, but that is inevitably
within each of us.
