Post #38 "Division-Creation-Image-Non-reality"

The most basic symbol of historical division is a wall. The Hunter and Gatherer Age moved into the Agrarian Age with the appearance of walls. From early recorded history, walls were the visual manifestation of humanity dividing or separating itself into groups; tribes, clans, settlements, and eventually, cities. When a group forms it forms against the rest of society. It stands against the rest of society. It divides or separates from the rest of humanity. We unite to deny and hide the fact that we are innately divisive. We unite for the purpose of power; power for protection against the loss of power and for the opportunity to amass power through combined effort.

What we think of as unity is actually division. Uniting or joining, whether it be through marriage, family, residence, or religion is a breaking apart. It is an action that separates and divides. We try to amass the power of others to add to and enforce our own. We cause division for the sake of gaining power for power is created when segments band together, but uniting is always against someone else. We cause animosity for the sake of the power gained in uniting to come against and defeat another person or group or nation. Nations promote wars to unite under a leadership. We unite to separate from and to gather power to promote individualism, or leadership. Power is amassed in community which then divides down into smaller pieces until power ultimately locates in the individual, for the gods are many but God is One. The function of Creation is Division. Creation is a process of Division. There lies deep within humanity the desire to become God........Reality or Non-reality?
