It's terrible now of course but for hundreds of years the Middle East was the most liberal, open minded, academic, culturally advanced region in the world, back when Europe was the oppressive regime with no academic progress.
that is what is thrown around here a lot. however it is not correct.
in the duration of 'arabian renaissance', science was limited to few prominent people who were under the protection of their sovereigns. and these people not all lived at once at similar time periods too, like in european renaissance. moreover, most of the information was coming from india through trade.
open mindedness was out of the question. similarly liberalism. i dont know what causes you to think like that, but there is no period in which these can be attributed.
it seems to me that, the negative inclinations which have led to orion influence back in 1600 bc, have stayed their course up till today. complete with all the religion, holy war concepts.
Quote:Where as I'm not aware of any point in Asian history, or present, when it wasn't a super conformist society. The Middle East and Europe going through changes from oppression to freedom shows a potential for change, but as far as I see it Asian society has never changed from its core values of conformity and materialism, that's why I'm so stunned.
i think your historic insight to that part of the world is lacking.
in various parts in india, there had been noticeably advanced societies, even ones in which women were equal to men even by our standards today, even if short lived.
deneb population in china had been maintaining a certain level of civilization for quite a long duration, which surpass almost all the other cultures in antiquity. (at least in known history)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_China
chinese were farming and writing circa 5000 bc.
but maybe more importantly, ra says that there was some progress being made among denebians in the second cycle, in regard to principles of Law of One.

not to mention that a lot of the philosophical bases we are using in spiritualism come from asian origins, or, have been confirmed by channelings.
