Re: Are there any real visionaries on this forum?
a quote from isaac asimov “Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition”
i feel that a time of great change and cleansing has started, but as with all cleaning a mess is usually made first, before harmony is restored. when this realm has been spring cleaned, then it will be up to all those that are here to work in such a way as to stand united. i believe this can only be done if the ego is transended and we become the observer.
the most important need of humanity today is to be made aware that its past has betrayed it. there is no point in continuing with the past, for doing so will be suicidal. the new humanity will not be a society in the old sense, where individuals are only parts of it. it will be a meeting of individuals, where individuals are the masters and society is to serve them. it will have many different aspects to it.
