TheUndyingWed, Feb 10, 2010 Jazzmann91: Thanks for the feedback! The content of this post was actually a reflection resulting from my own personal paradigm shift. I suppose it's practical to believe that a global paradigm shift is no longer possible, it would evidently take some extreme inertial forces to push all of humanity into a unified direction. The idea of a weaponless revolution however is just as satisfying. Anti-militarism would have drastic benefits to humanity that I don't even need to mention, because I'm sure everyone on this website can already foresee them.
My biggest concern is the self-destruction of humanity as a consequence to truth being so profoundly obscured that this generation, and all that come after, won't ever be capable of touching on it again. Additionally, the sub-fear of my biggest used to be that truth was never meant (a word I'm using lightly in this context) to be conceived by humanity in the first place, but that fear has long dissipated since my discovery of Eastern Buddhist practices; meditation most importantly. By tapping into my spiritual wavelengths I've realized that some of nature's truths lie far behind the veil of objectivity, and even further behind the veil of subjectivity, into a depth so profoundly innate it's no wonder it's so easily hidden from us. At the same time, adding science into the truth-seeking method (pseudosciences not included) effectively provides us with the understanding and tools needed to discover the truths of the material world; our external reality. The product of this collaboration is the universe's forever expanding awareness of itself. I'm aware however that truth-seeking is not that simple a concept. As a matter of fact, a wise human once said, "As for me, all I know is that I know nothing."
