I'm trying to go for 'b' myself. [b]But that's only because I believe in the Ascension idea.[/b]

But if no supernatural/divine intervention turns up and separates the wheat from the chaff sooner rather than later, then 'b' is of course incredibly stupid.

Forfeiting the game does not make you a winner.

i agree with you.  nonetheless, therein lies the paradox of the problem.  [b]can unity be achieved by division?[/b]

if it can, where is the next dividing line and who decides?
[/quote]

No, it cannot.

[i]But unity can not be achieved by one part alone either.[/i] And that's why I think the best we can do is be [b]ready[/b] for unity.

There is a misguided 'bleeding heart' idea of seeking unity with those who do not yet return the favor. This is silly, and only opens you up for all forms of abuse and being taken advantage of. The proponents of this idea are very vocal and aggressive about it being the only way too, because they think they are Saints - that's their self image. This is a false, ego-based "love".

Forgive and forget, as soon as the brother that hurt you regrets his actions, [b]but no sooner![/b] Be ready to accept unity with him on a moment's notice, and the ball now lies with your brother.

Original Message there are 7 billion people in this world. they're kept divided and disconnected by a (very) few who rule. the few that rule are connected as ONE and look out for their own no matter what.

their biggest fear is that the 7 billion will unite as ONE and eliminate your need for their rule.

every time you decide your brother is your 'enemy' because he is of a different religion, political party, color, sexual preference - whatever. YOU LOSE and they keep their power over you.

it's either all for ONE and ONE for all, or every man for himself. you can't win in a cage match of 7 billion people. no one on this forum, no matter how smart/tough/strong/well armed you think you are will be the last man standing in that equation.

so...

a. you either keep separating, dividing, fighting and bickering about who's right/wrong/smart/dumb/different and lose while playing their game

OR

b. you become intolerant of intolerance, realize that every other living person/plant/animal in this world/galaxy/universe is of the same life force as yourself and win by not playing at all.

i've been rooting hard for 'b'.
