From the very beginning the process of thought have created a sense of separation... a sense of division... right from the day we invented fire... and came across the barbecued flesh... when we invented crops..planting seeds, keeping cattle.... it has driven us towards insecurity... we wanted security.. we wanted the security from hunger, security from the other tribe, security from the animals, security from the storms, security from the fellow people. We formed clans, groups, marked our cattle, territories... and stayed in groups with a belief that this will give us security...
And later we started breaking up humanity in every form of isolation - on the basis of religion on the basis of nationalities, economics, commerce, ideology, philosophy and advanced toward fragmentation and destruction. We "thought" there was security with the tribe, with the religion i follow, and with the nation i live. That is our knowledge made us think that we are secure with a particular group ..and so on and so forth we created different nations, different flags, set up boundaries and each nation started thinking they are different from the other....
And from one century to another as we progressed the feeling of individuality - that every one has a separate entity as an individual grew strong... but we forgot that the way we feel the individuality is also felt by others in the very same way with the same insecure feeling, same fear, they also have their own escapes in the form of religion, philosophies, beliefs and all accumulated and structured by the same thought process..the very fact that we have a different physical body and bio-chemistry makes us think that i am a different individual with certain special distinction....with some particular quality...but all these qualities are just a superficial layer..take that away and we are all same....the qualities which are common are pain,sorrow, fear, insecurity, loneliness...we are all same...one entity...if you remove the few extra qualities from a nation ( the military, the extra resources, etc.) then we all become same...
And the same thought process developed in our mind, our own set of illusions in the form "escapes" be it a philosophy or psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, astrologers, philosophies, wars, politics and religions - be it Christianity or Hinduism or Buddhism or Islam. The next card is on religion....
