We need to learn to value every person regardless of anything that they may
have done or been as if they were exactly equal and the same as ourselves.
As it is only by doing this that humanity will ever be able to regain the natural
strength that is should have. And that IS the only way that we will EVER be
able to finally end "crime" and all other self-made dangers that humanity has
been made to suffer through. The key is education. Tell as many persons about
this as you possibly can.
Personally, myself, I have seen persons turn into "characters" rather than
actual persons. Some may even say that these persons had become what we
term "stereotypes". Even to the point where the 'real' person or individual
within was not even there anymore from any outward indications. Memory
would fail, for instance - apparently being replaces with other "predominant"
thoughts. I mean, they had no 'life' and were not the same person as the one
that others had known them to be. I have talked to persons who knew
people who had followed Jim Jones. To quote;
"I can remember that a great change came over those persons, and those
who knew them felt as though these persons were in a 'trance'. At least
one of those was said to be like a walking zombie. And all that was of
interest to that person was in getting others to join in and follow after Jim
Jones as well."
Have you ever known a person that you were close to who changed into
someone entirely different? To the point where you could not talk to them and
where you no longer had anything in common? I have seen this happen over
and over again.
This "auto-self-hypnosis" that occurs, apparently happens to everyone to
some degree. And it is not limited to one or two isolated events, it can
actually change the personality of persons. It can disable the ability to
think and reason, or it can make persons excel and do great things. The
difference seems to be in knowing and understanding about this as well
as the strength of a person's own personal understanding of the world around
them. Just knowing this now explains so much and empowers us with the
ability to change so much, IF, we can realize the importance of this opportunity.
The information in this article is the first REAL step to changing society into
something much better. That is, to what it truly should have been.
Until now, egotism has not been defined as an illness, but rather has been
thought of as a particular "attitude". But that was before it has been
determined to be the source and common element or component of so
many offshoot illnesses that not only effect/afflict individuals, but also
society itself as a result. It is not an exaggeration to say that Christian
believers do not have a firm grip on reality, because they cannot truly
understand it, may not acknowledge it and may willfully chose to dis-
regard any portion of it that does not support or agree with their own
personal distorted views. When so many persons within a society are in
such a state, this fact cannot result in anything other than to be a detriment
to society.
The reality of a society that is made up of so many persons who are ego-
centric is that each individual is ultimately out for themselves. This creates
havoc. It is what makes people ready to think the worst of others instead
of the best and it creates the perceived need for the individual to make
themselves appear to be "better" than others. It divides us, when we need
to think in terms of commonality. It allows concepts such as 'revenge' exist
and to be perpetuated, and keeps us in a 'barbaric', uncivilized state.
The selfishness of Christianity in essence is that it requires that the
individual, via the ego, to make themselves to be of more importance than
that of the greater good of society itself - which is contrary to nature and
to the ultimate goals of the human species. Humanity, that is the human
species, is weakest when it is divided; and weaker still when it is divided
and at variance with itself. This brings to mind the phrase, "Divide and
conquer."
It would be good if we could let Christianity die out of its own accord.
However, since there is a mental illness associated with it and those who
are afflicted with it do not think themselves to be ill, we cannot reasonably
expect this. It may not be wise or beneficial to provoke Christians or to
strongly protest or threaten their beliefs in certain ways; for, being quite
ill, they may harm other persons.
So, it is advised that as far as debating goes, this should be somewhat
limited. The attempt should not be made to "educate" the Christian as
this is no longer the main appeal or reason for their views - it is an illness,
and they themselves view "belief" as a choice and even a "right", regardless
of how it effects other people or even society itself. Again, they are "selfish".
If though, they themselves are seeking knowledge and information that is
related in some way to their illness, they should, of course, be offered that.
It may be well to leave the very elderly "believers" to their own delusional
"security". But as for others, there should be a new branch of mental health
professional and perhaps even a new recognized 'system' in place to handle
this. Initially, an intervention of sorts in some of the more extreme cases may
be necessary. This means that those who persist in doing harmful acts in the
"name" of, or in defense of, their "beliefs" should be helped before they can
do more harm.
