*The fear programme has created a consequential backash desired/undesired of intolerance. Any historical epoch that brings about changes will create this type of intolerance.

This particular epoch has become charged with rapid changes, and this brings into full viewing the large amount of intolerance existing within the minds of many, despite who they are and aren't.

Facebook has become an interesting playground for me personally. Part social networking with very keen minds, and part lab to observe how people responds/reacts in the face of new information. I have met people who have deleted me, blocked me, and 'censored me'.... but the problems lies not with me but with them....

And furthermore, these individuals refuse to grow.
And furthermore, these indiivudals must always hate those who seek to grow.

*Thanks for your comments, Hazar. I can't speak for any other epoch, but this is generally what happens amid a culture of distracted confusion...

I also see things the same way, part observer, part participant. FB is amazing teacher if you're open to it!

I see what you are saying, but I would also add that, it is not that people refuse to grow, it is perhaps the fact that they don't realise they aren't growing, and don't understand what growth really means or entails, as if it's just another bandwagon they can jump on which is 'out there' somehow, another belief or cause without undestanding either the origins of either or being able to see the bigger picture of both. Self awareness is doomed in this respect.

Again, I would add that we ourselves stop growing when we believe ourselves to be the only ones having succeeded in doing so; hence we become elitists and egoists of a different sort, having created a kind of underclass to which we are in danger of comparing ourselves. A sense of moral or spiritual superiority cannot exist side by side with the growth of awareness without usurping its value and allowing the ego to reign supreme....Then we live in a very shadowy world, and all the more so because our vanity blinds us to the truth of ourselves.

*I concur with you Crystal, especially with regards to that sense of moral
and spiritual superiority that becomes mistaken as 'growth' by many. In my personal dealings with individuals who occupy the 'New Age' grouping, many
are so assured that their 'teachings' will come to light and truth, ergo the hyperbole of 2012 (used as a device to create a money making product in the movie/programme '20120..).

I do feel personally Crystal that this epoch has created a powerful
information breeding ground that has caused this rather interesting internal/external noise frequency that acts to either heighten the awareness
or dull the awareness underneath the rubble of intolerance and
self-inflicted ignorance.

These type of individuals are neither above me or beneath or even at my side
or on my level. They occupy a realm that relates to them and reinforces what they need to see as they have chosen to see and want to see. Duality doesn't exist but creates an illusion that keeps many individual blind, intolerant,
and cruel in ignorance...

*Hazar: "these individuals refuse to grow".
They are afraid. they grew up in a fictious reality, crumbling. so they are trying to cling to old concepts.
they do refuse to grow, of course,. im just mentioning why. :D
people should not delete posts on FB, just my opinion.

*I concur with you Allan, These individuals cling so deeply to their obsolete world views that when death approaches, they must spew venom in denial that their worlds could never endure.

And in the abject misery, they seek to inflict others with their poisons.
Let them be as they must be, Let them perish forevermore

Amen.
