Free Will And The Future Of Mankind


Homo Sapiens has two freedoms. That of the 'conscious I'; to think and discover the physical world, our science. The other is that of our executive bodies, the creations of the elements of the universe (its 'jewels') and is to express their natures. They choose which way to go in their environments which, today, include the intellectual knowledge acquired by their 'conscious I'. The majority of them have what we call good natures. The few provoke violence and wars, as they have done since records began, in spite of all that we have learnt. If the majority come to know these very personal things they may avert the catastrophes that nuclear weapons, in the hands of the few, will bring. They may do so by electing to power those among them that they deem are worthy and of good will. As well as the obstacles of pride and conceit, to their knowing, is the still-existing law of Moses that today reads 'Compensation' for an eye or a tooth. Jesus of Nazareth, in His teaching, over turned this law. This was a very serious heresy that we may be accused of too. The documents to follow are to open up these statements.
