the family of man

[Shin'Ar]

The community of man is certainly a noble concept but I would amend this
Since I think we should unite, not as opposition to outside forces but in harmony with them.

The family of man is but one branch of a much larger family, remember.

This is true enough, but I think what Norral and I are pointing to is that each aspect of the All has unique and individual obligations to the All, and one of those is the obligation to evolve by learning from our past and becoming wiser as we proceed into our future.

Each bee of the hive is not only obligated to do its part, but in doing its part it evolves the hive into higher states of being because it has fulfilled its obligation.

If each bee were to choose to act without regard for the hive, The All, and in constant self gratification which would subject the hive to not evolving into higher states of being, the All would not progress but would simply never develop.

Each is free to choose, but those choices do not make the hive progress into higher being, rather it is particular choices which are beneficial to growth and development which will result in accomplishment.

Hense if we each choose to acknowledge our obligation to humanity as our hive, the All will evolve into Higher being as a result. Understanding this connection is enlightenment. If we choose to take action which will impede such progress than our humanity suffers a cessation of its development as a consequence.

By free will we choose either to be an evolving aspect of the All, or a cessation or impediment of that evolution. Evolution proceeds despite our interaction, but efficient evolution of maximal degree is at the mercy of various impediments and walls.

Shall we be a benefit or an impediment in our choices?
