From history, we know that it is always just one individual that can present with various degrees of ability a new ideal that can sometimes change the course of history. Whether it is in science, or biology or sociology.

            Ideals are like crystallised universal energy patterns, a language of the mind that everybody that finds and understands them can tune in to with acceptance, changing even the previous conditioning of the mind.

            It could be said, that they have a life of their own, once implanted into the brain. Some philosophers and even scientists call them Memes genes. Self created strings of Energy within the brain.

            They can trigger a new thought process and perhaps a more logical one than the one we were used to and which our mind has absorbed so painfully over the past.

            These ideas may be realised as an undisputable platform for new philosophical concept. The motivating principle of new ideas is caused by natural desire for our species everywhere to strive for a better future.

            It is this restless need for a better future that does motivate us to recognise that we may have to look at some common principles in our divisive routine of behaviour.

            In social aspirations, the Communists tried unfortunately a forced system that degenerated into terror, based on dangerous mind conditioning.

            In most cases traditions cannot be moved, or changed because, almost like fairytales, they are our world. Although they may last for generations, in the end they do not work. They only influence our behaviour, creating a conflict between what is, and what we think it should be. They become a fixed dream world that people accept as real.

            There is a false security in this type of exclusive dream culture for all of us, and yet, we all live in some dream culture, whether it’s political, religious or social.

            It does not work amicably, because it’s derived from the ideas and quality of thought based on a time in history. It will eventually change with evolution, but that can take ages.

            Those traditions of thought consist of our present mind conditioning through schools, churches or parents and friends and ordinary learning.

            We all find it necessary to share what is known and what is discovered, even with all unrealistic aspects intact.

            The danger lies in blind loyalty to age-old norms. There is a rigidity of movement and a fear to doubt, that, which is heavily ingrained in our mind. Yet doubt can be a great purifier.

            Sometimes it is necessary to have this doubt, so that we can find new pathways and sweep the old ones clean.

            However loyal men may be to the great men that shaped their destiny, great savants of religion, sociology and politics, this always brings us into conflict with groups of different conditioning. In an Atomic age, we face a sudden realisation that our loyalty to a definitive idea is dangerous and the great leaders and preachers that shaped our destiny are no longer alive to modify their ideas and our convictions, so that they may fit into present day realities.

            What was possible to resolve by passion and conflict is now much more biologically and universally threatening, not only to the parties in the conflict, but to the whole world at large, and its biological envelope of the planet.

            It is usually not possible to lift our evolutionary consciousness, except by centuries of attrition, which eventually will force us into a way of peaceful coexistence in some distant future.

            Unfortunately, we no longer have the time to let centuries decide, what is right or wrong, because it is indeed possible that a group of mind conditioned fanatics will buy an atomic weapon, or a biological weapon and use it, because the others do not share their obsolete convictions. And accumulated hatred is totally destructive and universally unreasonable.

            We all know that it is the untrue and the ‘imperfect’, within our social evolution that will cause this imbalance. It is absurd to look for truth in the ninth century, or any ancient past.

            It can be absurd and tragic.

            But of course, we will never agree as to what is true, what is perfect.

            It is even accepted, that from their ‘own’ development and from where they are standing, that the savant and the dangerous activist are really both reasonable, in their ‘own’ world of conditioned thinking.

            So are the theoretical socialist, the intolerant activist, the revolutionary and the liberal democrats, the religionist and the agnostic.

            From the ever-changing evolutionary global point of view, they each have just a pinch of truth, but mostly, they are most probably mostly wrong.

            Some self-evident concept is needed for the lions and the lambs of this world to just exist in peace. Perhaps we can agree on some undisputable fundamentals of what actually is, with the hope that it will even out the fairy tales?

            We have indeed come through a great evolutionary voyage.

            What will be our next transitory step?

            Will some dictatorship of some indoctrinated ‘…Ism”, trigger global madness of destruction?         

            Or should we look at the aspirations of our shared reality, to smooth out the differences, behind the preciously held ‘isms’ and believes?

            Let us look for a minute at some recognisable facts.

            Until perhaps only 60 years ago, science recognised only molecules of physical matter.

            We now know about even more subtle forms of energy.

            We can safely say, that everything exits within a vast ocean of energy, which may even be predefined and ‘intelligently’ organised.

            Not by some ‘creator’ but by its own trial and error energy patterns.

            There seems to be order behind all this, orderly form of life systems.

            It can be said that reality is at the same time ‘oneness’ and plurality, because we all share the same energy fundamentals, which are the same throughout the whole universe.

            We are indisputably made up of the same ‘stuff’.

            Therefore to be is to be irrevocably being part of universal Energy.

            The Oneness underlying all energy can be taken for granted. It makes us be and move, as we should.

            The recognition of this underlying oneness in human terms is inspirational and electrifying. It can live with the established traditions of thought, even reinforce them, but with added realisation, that we all share everything, in this energy. Even our mistakes.

            We can even call this energy a religious ‘Oneness’ The One.

            ‘This Idea is not new,” it has been more or less laid down in the ancient Greek period, to which our social evolution still belongs, with moderate successes and achievements.

            What keeps the world apart, is, ignorance and lack of understanding of these energy principles, which still has not had enough time for its historical and evolutionary acceptance.

            Two thousand years is simply not enough time for all ethnic and social strata of humanity to have workable philosophical principles.

            Force and compulsion are still being used everywhere in this century, and have brought to the fore political and religious convictions, passionately adopted, in some regions, with all the power of mass destruction to impose them on the other.

            We are indeed a semi-evolved species, competing among each other’s with obsolete religious and social concepts, to the point of destruction.

            If humanity can focus on this universal Energy concept, the implications may qualitatively achieve a breakthrough in the moral and social evolution of man.

            Even in our present dangerous era of culture conflicts, the energy consciousness principle could influence quite rapidly any idea of self-righteous enforcing, which then would be as obsolete as slavery.

            The premise, just like a fundamental fact of natural phenomena, is very simple.

            It has to be simple and self-evident.

            What keeps the world in sanity is the degree of already recognising sharing of some of the energy one-ens.

            What keeps the world apart is the as yet incomplete recognition and adaptation of unity due to the insufficient time for an evolutionary absorption.

            Our very being is in danger of extinction, if we do not adopt common to all consciousness principles, which can qualitatively leap us all into the year 3000, with hope for our children and our lonely planet in our part of the universe. This research and this recognition would then make out of our still unevolved species, the nurslings of the future.
