The
characteristics listed are the dominant patterns of
The Grandfather Generation
.
People
of the Grandfather
Generation believe that humans are outside of
and separate from God -- from Creator --from the source of
Creation. http://www.Truth-Seeker-Truth.info
²
The belief in
separation from Creator/God is the biggest and most destructive
illusion of all time. Two parallel illusions
go hand in hand with this one:
The belief that humans are
separate from each other.
The belief that humans are separate
from Nature.
The latest
scientific evidence points
overwhelmingly to the conclusion that everything and
everyone is intimately interconnected. The belief
in separation leads to still more serious illusions:
The belief that the Earth is ours to
do with as we choose. -- that human beings can destroy the Earth
without reaping the consequences.
The belief that the universe, the
Earth, and human life can be
divided into pieces and each piece can be handled separately.
The belief that activities are open
ended. People of the Grandfather Generation
function on the common belief that
activities
are open ended -- that activities have
distinct beginnings and ends -- that one can sow
without reaping -- that one can act without producing a
reaction -- that one can destroy without
consequences -- that dumps and rivers are good
places to deposit trash and toxins.
The evidence
indicates that activities which appear to be open ended
are actually portions of closed cycles.
The evidence indicates that everything moves in spirals,
in cycles. Human actions commonly return
to their source in one form or another. The
evidence indicates that every result is actually a cause
in the next round. Life on Earth is a closed
system.
The people of the Grandfather Generation
believe in gender
superiority. The belief is that men are more
important than women. In some belief systems, women are still
considered to be little more than property.
The people of the Grandfather Generation
believe in racial
superiority. The Belief is that members of
the white race are biologically superior to all other
races.
The evidence clearly exposes
that racial superiority is
false. Differences come from culture, education,
tradition, beliefs, attitudes, et cetera.
The mind-set of
the Grandfather
Generation is flooded with war, fighting,
conflict, and suffering and is obsessed with winning or
losing. Senator
John McCain is a classic example of this.
His entire persona is built on war, fighting, conflict,
and suffering.
Those that hold the
"us against them" mentality believe that war, fighting,
and conflict are ways of resolving problems.
Sharing and cooperation are good only if the sharing and
cooperation serve the sharer's best interest.
In the United States,
the three dominant philosophical beliefs of the Grandfather
Generation are that: 1) Humans are their
physical bodies,² 2) Every human was magically created
by God at conception,² 3) Humans live only
once on Earth and then go somewhere else
forever.
Among the members of the Grandfather
Generation who control the main concentrations of
power, lies of omission
² are their dominant
form of communication. They even hire people
to tell distorted stories that leave out critical pieces
of the truth. They are called "spin
doctors."
Hypocrisy
is an overwhelming element of the Grandfather
Generation. Many will talk pious
religiosity and walk the exact
opposite.
In
their endeavor to control the world, the Grandfather Generation
considers money to be the most important factor.
Millions of people have had their health, their safety,
their well-being, their families, and even their lives sacrificed
for the sake of showing a profit on the next quarterly
report.
People in the Grandfather
Generation are very likely to embrace blind
religious adherence to whatever religion their parents
taught them. This is also true for the
religious belief called atheism. It doesn't matter what the religion
is, it's "One way my
way." Sarah Palin is a classic example of this.
Her entire persona is built on a very conservative, Grandfather
Generation, religious philosophy that adamantly
believes in numerous unprovable religious stories
-- stories such as God's Conception Magic
Act ² and The Rapture.² If she were
elected, would she be serving the country or serving her
own, personal, unprovable version of that unknown and
unknowable concept we call God? What about
those who adhere to different beliefs?
Duality rules the
lives of those in the Grandfather Generation
. It's black or white. It's us against
them. If you are not with us, you are against
us. Winners and losers. Guilty or
innocent. Red states or blue
states.
The people of the Grandfather
Generation believe in scarcity. There is not enough for everybody. Life
is a zero-sum game. If I am to have someone else must do
without.
The people of the Grandfather
Generation believe that one person can gain at
the expense of another, that everybody else is expendable,
that profits are more important than
the well-being of the people.
The people of the Grandfather
Generation believe that violence solves
problems. He who is superior at
violence wins.
The evidence tell us
that violence does not solve problems. It makes
things worse. Your are invited to read two
quotes for R. Buckminster Fuller.²
The people of the Grandfather
Generation cannot admit that they don't know the truth
about God.
The people of the Grandfather Generation
would rather spend gargantuan efforts to defend the lie rather
than admit to being wrong. The Roman Catholic
Church demonstrates this. Here's just one
example: What Is Life?²
The people of the Grandfather
Generation believe that human beings only live once on
Earth and then:
a) Cease to exist
or
b) Go somewhere else forever.
People
of the Grandfather
Generation believe that their version of the truth is correct
version, the only true version, that everyone else is wrong.
Reference: The Three
Religious Assumptions.
Those in the Grandfather
Generation believe that their way is normal,
that everyone else is strange. This
is called ethnocentrism.
The evidence indicates
that we are all normal, and at the same time, we are all
strange. As the old saying goes, "There
is nothing unique about being unique."
The people of the Grandfather Generation
will not accept anything new until it "bits them in the butt."
The deadly serious problem of Global Warming is an example of
this mentality. In spite of the
now-overwhelming evidence, the members of the Grandfather
Generation who are in leadership positions
still deny its existence, poo poo it, or fight the
required changes.
The focus of those in the Grandfather
Generation is primarily on the short term
-- the
next quarterly report -- "not on my
watch" -- deficit financing -- producing millions
tons of nuclear waste that has a half life of 50,000 years --
environmental destruction -- "let the next administration
handle it."
With regard to
religious beliefs, those in the Grandfather Generation
pretty much divide themselves into two divergent groups
with only a small minority in between. One faction
believes that what their parents taught them must be
true. These are the mindless true believers in this or
that religion. These people's lives are run by
dozens of unprovable stories -- stories such God is an
angry, fickle, vindictive, superhuman being who lives in
the sky -- stories such as God's
Instantaneous, Supernatural, Transcendental, Conception Magic
Act.²
At the other end of
this belief pattern are those who reject organized religion as "the opiate
of the masses." They deny the existence
of a Creator. They believe that this one
life here on Earth is all there is to human
existence. They may actually participate in a
religion but they do so for reasons other than to connect to
God. Also many profess to be religious but
act as if atheism were the true assumption.
Most of those in the Grandfather
Generation reject the views of a
relatively small minority of their generation that acknowledges Universal
Spirituality. These who acknowledge Universal
Spirituality believe that an infinite, unknown, consciousness is
the source of the universe.
When
one examines the above illusions, it becomes obvious why the
world is in such critical condition.
