THE COMBINATION

It is embracing the combination of the two aspects of humanity’s True Nature that offers a solution to humanity’s biggest problem.

This is so because if we decide that Who We Are Is a Spiritual Being Manifesting Physically, and at the same time decide that What We Are Is One Essence Manifesting Individually (in other words, if we decide that we are both a Spiritual Being and One Being), we can begin to transmogrify the energy that produces Alienation.

Holding such a dual understanding and making it part of our expression of life will make it virtually impossible for us to duplicate the actions and choices of those with whom we disagree. We will simply lose the desire to meet violence with violence, anger with anger, injustice with injustice, injury with injury, or Alienation with Alienation. It will suddenly make no sense to us.

It will become apparent to us that Albert Einstein was right when he said that we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. We will all be clear that we have to think in a new way.

When we see ourselves as One Essence Manifesting Individually, any arising feeling of Alienation will be replaced by a greater tolerance as we remember moments in our own lives when we engaged in choices, decisions, or behaviors with which others disagreed—and which, often, even we disapproved of ourselves, later.

This shift from Alienation to toleration will likely not occur in everyone’s life overnight, but with the passage of time, more and more of us will begin to recognize more and more of ourselves in more and more of each other.

Even then we will not have eliminated all differences between us, but it can mean that we will erase all willingness to have those differences create isolation and desolation, which could only arise out of a thought of complete emotional, physical, or spiritual separation.

It will, to put all this plainly and simply, no longer be comfortable for us to endure trading the hopeful potential that the idea of Oneness places before humanity for the empty promise that our species’ idea of Separation has dangled in front of us for so long without ever delivering anything but ephemeral and constantly evaporating happiness.

When the largest number of us make the daring decision to fully embrace both aspects of our True Nature (Spiritual Being/One Being), our species will have freed itself at last from the millennia-long effects of the beliefs, misunderstandings, and insanities that arose from its Prior Assumption.

Even just dropping the idea held by many that we are nothing more than highly sophisticated mammals would strikingly alter the personal perspective of those who hold such a thought, offering them a dramatically expanded rationale for their daily choices and decisions.

But combining the belief that we are spiritual beings with a belief in our oneness as the central tenets of our cultural narrative would not only change individual perspectives, but would, once it reached critical mass, beneficially alter the entire global landscape.
