“East is East and West is West and never
the twain shall meet.” Kipling
Oriental and Occidental civilizations developed
independent of each other, under very different
circumstances and with very different results.
In the East, starting with the Buddha in 2500
B.C., a series of teachers and teaching paths
arose simultaneously and suddenly, nurtured
by a thousand or more years of yogic discipline.
Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Jainism,
Zoroastrianism, all developed. These are/were
paths to the awakening of human
consciousness that pervaded Eastern countries
for hundreds of years and were the basis for their
cultures. China and Japan had periods of social
stability that lasted hundreds of years because
the societies were based on principles of human
value. Sure, some people still killed each other,
but, not in the name of religion.
The West also had a period of blossoming of
intellect and understanding. The Greek
Philosophers of around 500 B.C. had great
wisdom. In the West, this knowledge was lost
for hundreds of years. The library of Alexandria
was burned. The ransacking of Europe by
barbarians, the Black Plague, the division of
Europe into small nation states constantly at
war with each other all set the stage for the
progress of Western development, attitudes
and guiding principles. By the time the West
rediscovered the Greeks, the stage had been
set. The Renaissance was a flourishing of arts
and the beginning of science. But the nature
of the West was not so interested in awakening
human experience. The West continued with
the momentum of values it had accrued over
hundreds of years of warfare and struggle.
Whereas, in the East, there was a direction
towards cultivating the human spirit, the main
motivating factors in the West have been greed,
control and power. The epitome of this truth is
exposed by the fact that Western militaries try
to see if any new discoveries can be used as a
weapon. Even science has developed not as a
means to understand the nature of reality, but
always it intends to control nature. Science is
the religion of control.
East and West did meet. What happened then?
Japan kicked out all Westerners for two
hundred years because they didn’t like the
influence on their culture. When Perry forced
Japan to open to trade, (greed, power, control)
Japan realized that to survive, It had to become
“Westernized” which it did, remarkably, in a
hundred years. Since it had more power, it
developed the taste for Imperialism (greed,
control) and fell victim to that insanity, invading
China and committing atrocity. The West was
more used to war, however, and dropped the
A bomb on Japan, which essentially, destroyed
their psyche.
China, which had been used to Western control
and occupation, gained a totalitarian outlook,
and only now is exhibiting the primitive disease
of first class Imperialism it caught from the West.
In summary, over the last couple of thousand
years, the East was busy being born while the
West was busy dying. Power, greed, and control,
those self destructive tendencies, governed the
events in the West, leading to the logical goal
of New World Order Totalitarianism. A
Psychological World War is taking place now, in
real time, to determine whether the barbarians
finally rule the world, or whether sanity and
human goodness can stop them.
What is reality? If one speculates that humans
are an experiment by aliens who altered our
DNA, it would make sense that they would pay
more attention after the A bomb, when it was
known that humans had the capability to
destroy themselves and the planet. Whether it
is from compassion, an interest in their
investment, or just the curiosity of insects, if
the premise is true, it would explain the UFO
phenomenon. If we can’t handle our own
problems, will the aliens get involved? Aren’t
they already?
