Perhaps, but I think they were the first root race to have a foothold on the earth .... and that they lived mostly in one of the wildest countries in the world. (Africa).

We are not born with an ego. In fact, we are born as an empty vessel of human potential. As we grow, we construct the ego in order to separate "self" (the "I") from "other" (the rest of the universe). Unfortunately, we tend to selfishly flatter our egos and tend to think of ourselves not as a unique part of the universe, but as "more special" than anyone else.

This causes us to identify more with our egotistical and selfish (taking) "self" more than the humble and unselfish (giving) identification with others, which IS a part of us on a sort of sliding scale based on who is most similar (immediate family) to most different (people who don't feel as you do.)

Obviously if we want to evolve to be a compassionate and cooperative species that doesn't spend its time robbing and killing others of its own kind, we have to expand what we call "Love" (the wise and loving "God Within") to encompass all humanity.

We can accomplish that by coming to love our enemies and by doing "the right thing."

These seemingly impossible goals can be achieved with a simple change in our own perspective, wherein we identify less with the "self" and more with the "other."

We call this state nirvana, or "enlightenment", or "extinction" (of selfish ego), or the seemingly trite state of "Oneness with the universe", which when you think about it, is exactly the state that we are born in.

... or you assume that a person's better financial status is due to the person having a privilege that others don't have.

The EGO is You,the Person,What makes you an Individual,your Personality!

What makes what you are!
Neither good or Evil,just the Container holding your Personality.
It is incumbent on you,what you fill it up with!

"They" are us. We are all descended from Africans. Today's Africans and today's Europeans are all descended from ancient Africans.

Is it just me or is this thread drifting?

Is it just me or is this thread drifting?

Yeah. We're just a bunch of drifters.

I have made at least two efforts to bring this back on topic of the O.P. but yes, it keep drifting. Oh well. Its about the only interesting thread moving lately.

You can keep your Nothingness!

I believe..

Individuality will remain and individuals will continue to exist within the field after the death of our physical bodies.

Memories are not stored in the brain, they are stored in the field. All information is in the field matrix and can be accessed. Each individual is a conscious information storage unit/field.

It is not a question of being "one with everything" or being sucked into the cosmic consciousness and absorbed, nor is it about our individuality/ego being completely lost and destroyed when our bodies die.

What would be the logical point in that? How can life and consciousness evolve if all information is lost when a physical body dies?

Reality is information and information is reality. The universe is fields of information.

I can't remember what you said. I'm dreaming, wake me up to reality.
Oh, my, cosmic consciousness, I feel that I'm being absorbed into a reality field.

I'm sure this will clear things up for you:

I know, but it feels like a plasma vortex instead.
hmmmmmm, hmmmmmmmmmm.

I have made at least two efforts to bring this back on topic of the O.P. but yes, it keep drifting. Oh well. Its about the only interesting thread moving lately.

And now you are helping the topic to drift further.

Anyway, back to the topic of the OP ...
