The shortest, most concise complete religious document in history.
Humans are pack predators.
In order for a pack to function the members must modify their minds to create the pack organism.
These are teams, mobs, movements, manias, nationalism, and I'm_right_and_your_wrong-isms.
As humans develop they transition through the evolutionary sequence that leads to a fully formed human pack predator. Primitive animal intelligence is purely logical. Strictly input, process, react. Children aquire logic, then empathy, then language, then pack-mind. Pack mind evolution and neurochemical sequence ends with creating your own pack.
Fully formed humans have a logical core with an emotion based pack mind ego. The ego is the self and abstracts your (and everyones elses) "rank" in the pack.
The ego *is* humanity. Externalized pack rank was the first abstracted human symbol.
This is the part of the mind that can be modified by pack influences. It is the part of your mind that says that you are worse than or better than others.
It is pride, shame, greed, envy, etc
To be closer to your logical core you must be aware that those emotions can modify your mind.
Packs bond by being in close proximity during emotional events. Any group attacked will, by nature, be drawn more closely together and forge their minds into one.
Disasters, conflict, pride, and joy create stronger packs.
This configuration creates a conflict between your logical core and the pack needs.
This is the basis of all religions, cultures, and civilizations.
How do you create a lifestyle that balances logic with ego - individual with pack?
Both pride and shame make you illogical but influences others and merges you with the pack.
Logic gives you individual advantage but may counter pack mind and goals.
Pack logic is no better than that of the leading "brains" of the pack - humans by nature will accept their symbols.
Humans identify with multiple packs - family, "sunday group", job, state, country, planet, etc.
Physiological stress supresses pack mind, extreme cases shut down everything but the logical core. Your logical core operates your body. Conflicts between the ego and the body exhibit physically.
Young children and "autistics" are closest to their logical cores. They can't judge others by pack or rank. They haven't transitioned to predator so are "innocent" and "see true" since they can't yet modify their minds.
Democracy was created to deal with pack mind.
Everyone is wrong so only a majority can define reality.
We correct things when we figure out we are wrong. This happens with logical argument.
Humans don't intend to be greedy, it is part of pack "rank display" and natural - it is also illogical outside of pack context.
Innocent error is sin and is to be forgiven. Purposeful error is evil and is to be punished.
Figuring out who's truth is truer therefore defining error . . . is difficult.
Logical discussions are unemotional - emotional discussions are illogical.
"Informational content" set to music and using emotional triggers is meant to modify your pack mind - not logically inform.
Emotional speeches delivered to groups are the most influential.
This is how thousands (billions?) of humans can work together towards one goal.
A treasure and bane throughout history.
Is one pack for all of humanity possible? Team sports? *Friendly* competition?
Logic + Knowledge = Wisdom
Knowledge is gained through learning. Read. Explore.
Logical extrapolation is the skill from which all knowledge is gained, all problems are solved, all truths are realized.
Those with weak logic are easily influenced.
Evolution gives advantage to the individual that plans the most accurately and furthest into the future. Ponder this
Basic set of rules:
Supress your ego to be closer to your logical core and "truth" (unmodified reality).
Treat others as you would wish to be treated.
Be aware that yourself and others...
