Religion and the new world drama

What a time to be alive. The crashing wave of information is causing a steeply increasing aversion to all things religious. We are getting exposed to so much more than any other generation and this is just the beginning. A new world view philosophy is inevitable. In our grandparents time, it was difficult to learn about what other people around the world were thinking about space and time, sex and drugs, God and life, taxes and economic structures. Most information about other cultures was fouled with stereotypes, misinterpretation, fear, hate, misunderstanding and lacked respect. In our grandparent's grandparent's time, it was all but impossible to know much of anything about life outside of their own fishbowl. In less than 100 years, self education has become a matter of satifying curiousity, the entire world's philosophy is at our fingertips with the ease of a click. It was not so long ago that knowledge used to be a land reserved for wealthy families and tainted with the stench of entitlement or twisted by the ambitious, self serving wims of obsessive thinkers or rigidly controlled by powerful governments and religious bodies. Now Joe Blow can read about becoming a Bodhisattva and check out real time satellite footage of the Mekong river while having an IM chat with a Danish stripper and enjoying a Hot Pocket (those should be on the list). There is an ingrained fear of this new reality driven by organized religion especially. Aren't we the lucky ones though? I mean, fear is not of God. We should be joyously learning all these things. I am simply finding that we're more alike than we realize. Everybody laughs and cries, suffering is no fun, sushi is awesome, love is the best, lies are the worst. Strick dogma is beyond passe', it's negative and destructive. Listen to this beautiful music, enjoy and be thankful for this day, be free, treat others as you would be treated, take care of this lovely planet, remember your soul, explore and discover, create something.
