Zeitgeist ( Part Three )
“ I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality ”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
Once we understand that the integrity of our personal existences are completely dependant
on the integrity of everything else in our world then we will have truly understood the
meaning of unconditional love, for seeing everything as you and you as everything can have
no conditionality. Every human being is born naked, needing warmth, food, water, shelter.
Therefore the most important issue at hand is the intelligent management of the Earths
resources this can never be accomplished in a monetary system or where the pursuit of
profit is the pursuit of self-interest.
All the natural resources on the planet are a common heritage to all people; we are one,
it is up to you as one, to realise this. The future, and the future of your children and
this planet depend on you.
Money and religion are what divide us, one from another, when being one to another would
make us happier than we could ever imagine.
The concept of our unity to life as eternal beings has been ripped out of us by religions
of death, which promise an afterlife. When life itself, in every day terms, present and
very real is of the most paramount importance.
This capitalistic society fulfils our fear of death by our need for life. It sells us our
lives to give us an illusion of our lives having meant something.
The truth is, if you truly believed in God, what possible use to you would money be.
Money is in fact our own denial, and our own proof that none of us believe in any attested
to Divine power such as God.
And the two systems of Religion and Capitalism are inseparable; they are both
self-supporting of each other. We have sold ourselves as slaves to them both.
