I sometimes wonder where and when it all went wrong. That is to say…

At what time did humanity lose sight of our greatness and begin to buy into the idea that we are born “sinful”? When did people begin to believe that we are a race of wicked war-mongers bent on the destruction of ourselves, each other, and the world around us? And when did we accept the notion that physical existence is mechanistic and bland, offering no gateway to the spiritual greatness that truly surrounds all that is?

People still pay lip service to the idea that anything is possible and I honestly believe human consciousness is on the rise worldwide. But I still wonder where we got sidetracked in the first place.

Historically speaking it looks as if Egypt and Sumer were the beginning of the “we’re all scum please god forgive us movement”. It seems clear the shift of power into the hands of the priesthood was a big part of these eras.

But at what point did people become convinced there is no spirit world, nothing in the dark but shadows, and absolutely nothing real about anything in a child’s imagination? When did homo sapiens make the backslide into obtusity?

How is it possible that grown, intelligent men and women can seriously believe life exists only on planet Earth, nothing significant happens when the body dies, and everything wonderful is just a matter of fate and chance?

To be honest these rhetorical questions could be categorized. Am I on about organized religion or materialism, you might ask.

Frankly I see both polarities as cogs in the same broken wheel.

But on the positive side of things minds are opening once again worldwide. I suspect within the next 50 years acupuncture and crystal therapy will be accepted by mainstream medicine and presidential elections will be legitimate (as in ono-staged) events.

Our minds continue to evolve and the darkness of ignorance is being burned away by the rising dawn. Perhaps in time the memory of such follies as the dark ages and mechanistic science will be totally forgotten in the face of global (interstellar?) peace, prosperity, and enlightenment.
