[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica]It is an age-old conflict between those who believe man is
matter and those who pursue the spirit.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica]Thought is material and its activity is materialistic. Thought is measurable and so it is time. Thought is memory, experience and knowledge, and this memory, with its images and its shadows, is the self, the "me" and the "not me", the "we" and "they".
Materialism only gives strength and growth to the self.The self may and does identify itself with the State, with an ideology, with activities of the "non-me", religious or secular, but it is still the self. Its beliefs are self-created, as are its pleasures and fears. Thought by its very nature is fragmentary, and conflict and war are between the various fragments, the nationalities, the races and ideologies.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica]A materialistic humanity will destroy itself unless the self is wholly abandoned .The abandonment of the self is always of primary importance. And 'believe it or not ',only from this revolution a new society can be put together.
