World-destiny

Many radicals and kooks have come up with the idea that just getting away from people whom they dislike will solve all their problems. Seperatists from both the Nation of Islam and right-wing whackos have talked about "starting their own country" within the US. But it would not be very long before they started hating each other within their little countries!:)

Sane, healthy, spiritual, wise people must work to replace separatism in the community, and world, with "unitism." We desire to build bridges, not walls. We seek to find our commonalities, not to emphasize our differences. That is, in fact, why we prefer spirituality to religion!

This pure and high unity cannot be found through institutions, organizations, or organized religions. For these are all designed to create conformity, not communication. They have never learned to celebrate diversity! Yet nature does so all the time! Birds, stars, and flowers come in hundreds of thousands of varieties, each as beautiful as the others. Nature hates sameness, despises dull monochromaticity!

We are in the Age of the Individual. It is no coincidence that this parallels and, later, converges with, the Age of Aquarius. In this Age, the seeds for universal sister/brotherhood are planted and cultivated. During this age, divisive religion will be replaced by a wise, benign, loving spirituality. This seems idealistically hopeless to us, but remember that we have been largely reared in an age of synicism,
brutality, greed, and violence. Why should it seem less likely that people should live out of the positive side of their intrinsic nature? The evolution of spirituality is the development of transcendence, and this arises from the cultivation of simple goodness.

We have gone through, are going through, and will go through phases of anarchy, confusion, and even chaos on our social journey to a perfect world. But destiny has it that the world will someday settle into its ultimate political unity. At the human rate, this will require a few thousand years. But someday, we will all awaken to an "agapocracy," or control/rule/government by the inner heart of Light and Love. This will result in supreme honor among people.

How? The answer is breath-taking. Indeed, it is beyond even the imagination of many, or most, people. In this futureworld, everyone will live lives of unimaginable honor and honesty. How can this ever happen?

It is not as complex as we might think. It is really a matter of allowing everyone to find inner happiness. For a happy person does not become antisocial.

It will all begin by fulfilling everyone's most delicious material and sensual dreams, by a combination of nanotech and virtual reality. And when a person is absolutely, totally satisfied, completely content,an astounding transfiguration occurs in her personality: She becomes honest. She becomes even kind, even other-centered, abundant in compassion and glorious in generosity. This is how the final "political" system will be, and will arise from, inner and personal regulation.

The brain, under the right conditions, is capable of the endogenous production of a spectrum of euphoric "drugs." This family of psychoactives is created naturally with only one goal: To make you feel good! Although not all of this family has been molecularly mapped by our primitive science, the family of endogenous euphorics will be found to contain at least thirty-five neurochemical entities, some more powerful than acid or heroin (although these often occur naturally in nanoquantities). We often catch glimpses of these natural neurochemicals during moments of great happiness, when we describe ourselves as "naturally high." When something very good happens, our brains release these euphorics into the bloodstream. When we love,it releases more than one simultaneously! Indeed, whenever we love anything or anyone, including ourselves, there occur cascades of euphogenicities within our brainbloodsystems. A person who can learn to train her brain to produce these factors need never rely on either artificially synthesized or natural psychotropics ever again. This is, in fact, why good, loving people feel better than average more often than average!
