I'm a deep thinker.


This is from a friend Odain Carr.

For many ages of time, humanity has struggled on this planet to find absolute truth. Humanity started off by creating religious systems to help explain the world and the universe. Then came Political systems, and next came science. Humanity has been on the quest for absolute truth from the inception of human self-awareness. During the quest for absolute truth many civilizations have risen and fallen; with no one particular civilization coming to a full grasp of absolute truth. The question becomes, what is truth, and what is absolute truth? Is truth Objective or is it subjective? Is truth seen or is it experienced, or is it both? These are questions that have been pondered by many great thinkers throughout the ages. How is truth defined? It is quite probable that the most rudimentary definition for absolute truth can be summed up as, anything that can be supported by proof.

The one truth that has evaded humanity since its inception is unconditional Love. This truth has evaded humanity for the simple fact that humanity believes that Love is not a truth let alone an absolute truth. Now one must ask, how do you prove that Love is a truth, and how do you prove that Love is not just an absolute truth, but the absolute truth?

Fear has played a large role in blinding humans from the truth of Love; it has also played a large role in the way people have acted on this planet throughout human existence. Fear has affected us in the way we deal with ourselves on an intrapersonal level, and the way we interact with others on an interpersonal level. Fear has been the driving force for almost everything that is done on this planet. These fear patterns influence our thoughts, our feelings, our words, and our actions. Many people are unaware of how deeply entrenched in fear our society is. The reason human civilization is so deeply entrenched in fear is due to the fact that almost every individual in society is fear based in their mind patterns. Look at the decisions people make on a daily basis and you will see fear is a part of who we are as individuals.

The problem is that because humans have always been fear based, we have created a system around ourselves based on fear. Now we are trapped in a system that promotes the very thing that has enslaved humanity for thousands of years. Fear went from being our teacher to becoming our slave master. Many systems of thought have attempted to explain the predicament that humanity has gotten itself into. Yet most of these systems of thought have not righteously addressed the very cornerstone of the problem, neither have they elaborated on this in any great detail.

Thousands of years ago the world was less connected than it is now. People were living in their particular corner of the world with hardly any knowledge of people who were on different continents. Fear may have been much less, because people were self-sufficient. There was no worry of taxes, no worry of cancer, no worry of mortgages, no phone bill, no water bill, no light bill, no car payments, no credit card debt, no rental payments etc. There was nothing really to keep the average human in an almost paranoid state of constant fear. Really the only thing the average human had to worry about was the weather, wild animals, their neighbours, and possibly crop failure.

Other than these things, humans largely lived free of the grasp of fear. Fear would have been more akin to a teacher rather than a slave master. Yet, despite the fact that fear was our teacher, fear became discontent with its position as a teacher, it saw itself as a master teacher and a ruler. A symbolic way of looking at this is that, fear decided to set up a system in which it would rule absolute. Its strategy was to find those who were in the most fear, and promise them absolute power. The reason for this is that people, who are in the most fear, are easily controllable. So fear found willing slaves to its cause.
