It is in a way.
It's a pre-ordained destiny that only a few can see.
Many have their interpretations.
Like the idea that the northern hemisphere was going to be for white people in the name of Yin/Yang and thus nearly manifested so via the USSR/USA convergence.
"To kick the yellow Mongol out of Asia" Gen.Macarthur during the Korean war.
But in truth - the machine has a good number of 'turns' to make before the 'full potential' of humanity's time here on earth is met.
Doncha just love the way crackpots and fruitcakes consider themselves to be of that special few? And they don't mind telling you all about it. I could list the ones on this forum apart from yourself, but lets look at the larger picture. You've got Scientologists, Hare Krishnas, Mohammedans, and the various other Abrahamics, Buddhists, and a thousand other cults that need to tell you that their interpretation of reality is the one you should pretend to believe. What a bunch of arrogant bloody know-alls.
Oh - I totally agree with you IssueVoter. It's the first sign of a flawed (only 10% of the way there) Belief. Putting themselves 'out there' as 'SPECIAL' (Elitist) is a good sign of their intention. The swing the other way is based upon just mass support by the poor ...numbers and nothing else.
Me?
Yeah - I'll brag a bit. But I don't put myself 'out there'. I don't gain 'anything' from this (financial, etc). It's a matter of 'pure interest'. You won't see me pumping out websites for followers (and 'donations'), you won't see me organising little 'Enclaves' out in the bush with concubines in the name of 'love'.
I do it because I want to understand more.
I do it because I still have a lot to learn.
I do it because I have enough to teach.
I do it because I do understand a lot already.
There are many 'beliefs' around the world. Heaps! Thankfully one can put many in the same basket as they share similar foundations, etc.
It's no different to the different 'Political' practices.
USA Politics is 'Individual' (President, Top of the Pyramid) based. While OZ is 'Mass' (People, bottom of the Pyramid) based ...not that the PM & gov-General will concede this yet.
Some beliefs 'work' in one part of the world, but are totally dysfunctional in another. (Like a Scuba Diver trying to be a Fire Fighter ...just because he's wet
) If not dangerously so.
So no. I ain't no 'crack-pot' and I don't talk/express myself like It_is_the_Light as a 'spiritual snob' to appear more intellectual (while just pumping out stuff like a 'Replicant', because he can't come up with or discover 'new' and original stuff of his own). I've hung out in Monasteries in Nepal/Tibet - I don't have to behave like that "Namaste" to appear 'spiritual'
That's just cultural snobbery.
So you see. The stuff I know is pretty full on and which is why I can easily see China & Russia going to war soon.
To understand 'beliefs' is almost like watching the cogs of the 'colonisational' wheels of New Worlds, Old Worlds, etc - turning.
Anyway - yes it is a 'complicated' world, but if you do by chance see the 'big picture' of it all, then it is made simple as well.
Ever wonder the 'coincidence' of the x3 Island nations of The British/Eire Isles, the Nippons and Madagascar off the Old Worlds? Ever ask 'why' and is it 'something more'?
To look into such a thing is just one of many facets about this world that brings more understanding and awareness.
But remember - to understand the 'World',
means sacrificing something else to get there.
Are you prepared to
