Do you wonder why human beings are having such a hard time getting along? I heard a talk about these things and what I gleaned from it is this: We are the slaves of our intellect. All of our lives we are taught to learn more, to set goals. to apply that learning, and get out there and change the world. In this parenthesis in eternity, we on earth are trying to fix things with our intellect, when we need to explore other dimensions of intelligence. We have all set up a limited identity for ourselves based on family, nationality, and other tribal limits. Our database is too small for us to expand into realizations we are fearful to explore. If the air was embraced as our identity rather than our community, it wouldn’t be so difficult to accept the Oneness of all that is. A limited identity combined with intelligence can be a dangerous thing indeed. I think we’re seeing this problem in action in our world today. In the next few days, I’ll be pondering what we can do, individually and collectively, to turn this trend around. Please feel free to share your thoughts. Namaste…
"This scientific sense of being, forsaking matter for Spirit, by no means suggests man’s absorption into Deity and the loss of his identity, but confers upon man enlarged individuality, a wider sphere of thought and action, a more expansive love, a higher and more permanent peace.” Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 265:10-15
