Our Animalistic Prejudices

583.01Comment: Dividing the world into “good-us” and “bad-them” is rooted in human nature and is the source of many conflicts.

Some research found that monkeys judge other members of their own species with the same degree of prejudice as people judge “newcomers”. Monkey populations form various social communities within their species. After migrating to new communities, the monkeys seemed to judge members of their species alien to their community with a degree of prejudice similar to human prejudices of “strangers.”

It seems that the nature of prejudice is older than the history of civilization and culture, and therefore it is impossible to get rid of biased thinking by appealing to human culture! The real reason for intolerance lies outside the problems of cultural (national, religious, political, etc.) differences, but is much deeper, and not a consequence of cultural evolution.

My Response: No problem of society can be solved at our level, but only by rising to the next level of our development, which is possible only through integral education, because it causes the highest energy of development (light, Ohr Makif) from our future level of “man” at our current level of “animal.”

Only an ascent to the next level of our development will rid us of all animal prejudices, and all other attempts to achieve agreement, understanding, or equality are useless. It is better to look at ourselves soberly, friends.
