The Subject of Belief and Objectivity

I am sure that I may be easily outnumbered by the experts. All of whom will have thier own opinions, and while they may be true opinions they are no more accountable to the truth than any other opinion may be. But its entirely fair for me to believe in myself. And I do not claim to be a God or Creator. While I do have much in common with our mythical Adam, clearly I can not claim to be the progenitor of the Human Species here on Planet Earth. However I can observe and judge the world, and see that it does need a Great Patriarch today. And many will deny that they need to be saved, because they already have a saviour. But the Earth itself still does need to be saved. Jesus was given the title Prince of Peace but failed to establish Peace on Earth. The Viability of Planet Earth is at risk due to Humanity, our technological advancement has given us the power to render it unfit for Human Life. I doubt that we have the power to render the Earth unfit for LIFE in General, but certainly we may cause our own demise. And eventually we will destroy ourselves just because we can. So long as the people continue to pursue this principle that, "MIGHT MAKES RIGHT!" Even genocide becomes justifiable. We may easily find the rational for an END to our story here on Planet Earth. And all that it takes is for one individual to think it so, if he has the ability to make it happen. We can not argue with that. Is our extinction truly inevitable? If we consent to it, we need not act; but our survival as a species requires some work in order to be guarenteed. If we do nothing, we will surely die. If the status quo is allowed to proceed unchecked, we are marching towards that inevitable End. But many of us do enjoy a little comfort in life, and so long as there is some stability in the World we expect it will last. It may very well last long enough for us to enjoy life to the end of our mortal days. Many of us have saved and planned for a comfortable retirement here, we do not want to give that up for a World of uncertainty. But its hard to get any guarentees, as much as we do like to limit life's risks, we are powerless to elminate them completely.

We can not elminate that possibility from our future that one day a single man will have the power to destroy the World. And it doesn't really matter how this will happen. It may not even depend on technology as we imagine it should, but upon some power of faith. As such it may well be within our reach today, it may have always been within reach. Individually we are powerful, and history has shown that one man can make a difference and change the world. In fact each of us does change the world a little bit just by living in it. So many decisions get made and they are not all important, they are not all influential, they do not all affect our lives directly. But occassionally one man can make a decision that impacts our past and our future significantly. Clearly a great discovery could mean so much, and the man to reveal it becomes more important. Human understanding is advanced and it serves the Greater Good. When we learn our place within the Kingdom of Heaven and what roles we may play, the knowledge enables us to act. And for the most part we are all personalities within the Kingdom of Heaven, it is good enough that we have existed. We have become part of Creation and the Eternal Kingdom, we did live in Eternity. And over the course of our lives here we may have played several roles. Each person has had accomplishments of their own, and it doesn't really matter what they are. These things can not make us more or less important, as children of God we are equally important. The Universe itself is evidently a very durable thing, and we partake of that durability as soon as we become manifest here.

If we do have Immortal souls, and a spirit that lives beyond mortality, why should we care what happens to Planet Earth? We have done our time here and are finished with it. The fate of Humanity should not concern us, because we live within the Eternal Kingdom of God, but we live here together. That we have companions continues to be true beyond life, and most of us have a reason to feel grateful for our friends and family. These things bind us together, and bind all human beings because we share a common nativity here on Earth. Because it was once a good home to us we should always remember and cherish it. We should care for it and one another, we should never grow beyond caring. There is no escape from this trap, the trap of Humanity.

Now what can we do to save the World? If the Earth needs our care, what can we do that isn't already being done? Our concerns for the welfare of Humanity here are being addressed as much as possible it would seem. And while so much is being done, who can say that it's not enough? What problem faces our world today and remains unsolved? Some problems have been with us forever and defy solution. The threat of punishment has failed to solve the problem of violent and criminal behaviour. By all appearances there is no easy solution to this problem, but we continue to employ the ineffective solution for lack of something better. To see the criminal as a victim of society should help us to solve this difficult problem. We should help every person to become more socialized and let no child be neglected. But its a hard solution to put into practice unless everyone participates in the solution. And to be honest we don't want the world to interfer in our personal lives, we will accept only minimal intervention or think that our rights have been violated. Offer us some help and then let us decided whether or not to accept it, but don't force your help upon me! We will not feel grateful to be forced, instead we will hold a grudge. And clearly our world is full of angry people, in some cases we might even consider that anger to be justifiable. But it is not for the good of our World to have angry people. When we feel most powerless or unimportant we often feel angry about that.

There is some objectivity for you, Human Nature is what it is. We feel very passionate about some things; if we have opinions of our own we like them very much. And we can't help feeling the way we do, we have learned from our own experiences in life. What are we? We are real persons.
