In fact, it is precisely the attachment to the consciousness of the "self" and the 'thinker'--through the stubborn belief in religious doctrines which flagrantly contradict the Revelations received by Moses, the prophets, Jesus and Mohammed--which is the specific consciousness which is pushing this civilization towards suicide.

So, for anyone discussing this, do not simply assume that this is merely a trivial matter of serious concern only to the few.

While there is quite a bit of humor on the thread, with respect, if you read from page one right through you will find that the whole essence of the thread is the importance as you have said to the survival of the human race, of transcending ego and releasing attachment to the "self" and thinker.

Yes you are right it is that important.

You will find Dr Hawkins saying the same thing.
