Three weeks ago I mentioned the seven Abrahamic worldviews;
three religious (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and four secular (Science,
Capitalism, Communism, Western Atheism). All seek in their own way to create a
better world. All have also created tremendous suffering and bloodshed.
Understanding why this is so is important.
And this is my message to all of you (which is a quote from
my book A Tale of Two Deserts):
“Whatever you call the better world that you seek, your
paradise, you cannot build a kingdom of heaven on ground that is soaked in the
blood of people who do not agree with you.”
Many of you still have not learned this lesson. The time for
doing so has almost run out, for you now stand before the Gates of Hell (which
is something I mention in another book (Encounter with a Wise Man)). Collective
denial and delusion though, tell you otherwise. So back once more to the
problem of the human mind, which is what it is has all been about – it has been
from the very beginning. Did you not know this? Judging by what religious and
secular people say about sacred books such as the Holy Bible and the Holy Qur’an,
it is clear that most have not understood this. And this notion, that people
would not understand, was the idea behind these books, which is not as crazy as
it sounds. To be continued …
