One of the first writings known to man was the Epic of Gilgamesh (2700BC). Its theme is the inability to recognize the constant of death and the consequences.
.
The early recognition of death sets thinking on a different course that quickly decides that there is more to a human being than a bag of blood no matter how it looks.
.
There is a great war at hand because the forces of life have gone too far. Death is upon us but for those who know the truth death to a 'bag of blood' is no more than the crushing of a mosquito.
.
Even at this late stage the truth may be learned. Look through the posts on OnePositive and learn the practical dynamic that explains how all is one no matter how we muck it up.
.
Leave your ego at the door.

The Bell Tolls
.
Destruction is in the air
Change is imperative
No longer can we revel in the bliss of ignorance
The conditioning of education
The misrepresentations nurtured by traditions of fear
Preparing us like perfect firewood
Time to wake up!
We are dying
Being used up like a food supply
Continuing to defer our obligations to our children
Conditioning them to do the same
Bartering our denial as the well goes dry
Choosing to misunderstand the work;
The work is to unify not multiply
By giving in to the beast of loneliness;
Our pervasive fear
We submit to a control unknown
By refusing to rationalize this force
We guarantee its future
We are dying!
Like hollow logs empty in our abundance
By our denial
We have cannibalized our very soul
Compromised our mother earth
The monster is feeding in our garden
The bell is tolling
But we are oblivious
