Our motives define our lifestyles, not our actions.
In our present societies built on The Law, we interact with one another based strictly on our actions. We have no capacity as humans to judge each other’s motives, and so we dismiss as offensive any actions that contradict our morals, even if the motives are peaceful.
In a society built on Faith, religious texts have outlined a lifestyle, described in a ritual called “the washing of feet”. In kindergarten language, this means simply to justify each other’s “offences” as a gesture of love.
From the beginning, in laying the groundwork for The Law, we started with Ten Commandments, from which over time, we added hundreds more, to build our present civilization. In laying the groundwork for Faith, religious texts have given us two commandments, from which over time, we will add more, to build a new civilization.
1. The first commandment is this.
We each must love the origin of our human existence, with all our heart, soul, and might, whatever names our various evolutionary cultures have given it, whether God, life, nature, Zeus, logic, the universe, the Big Bang, or other.
2. The second commandment is this.
We each must love our neighbours as ourselves, treating each person as we expect them to treat us.
Both commandments have the value of love. In our various human cultures, we all understand love differently. Let us here define love in its fundamental capacity.
Love is the expression of kindness, patience, humility, tolerance, generosity, and more such virtues, but the fundamental or most basic expression of love is respect. Loving someone or something is impossible without first having respect for them or it. The love we need to achieve a utopia is simple respect. It costs next to nothing, the price being only our pride. All other expressions of love are secondary.
1. Love the lord thy God.
In the first commandment of faith, loving the origin of our existence means that we each must dedicate our lives to imitating its ability of creation. When we understand practically, how It, He, She, or They, worked to bring our environment into existence, we become intelligent, as they are intelligent. This is the purpose of each Culture of Faith, which is to provide us the knowledge ourselves to become as intelligent as the origins of our existences, or “as God”.
Each Culture of Faith has its knowledge of God unique, which means also that its intelligence likewise is unique. In our present way of thinking however, we often reason to become intelligent in multiple cultures simultaneously. We employ ourselves to excel concurrently in numerous faculties of knowledge. The inexhaustible discoveries of each culture make this impossible. We as humans can be geniuses only in one Culture of Faith at a time. This may change when we assume the identity of gods, but with 28 total cultures presently, we are irrefutably 27 times more likely to be wrong in our knowledge when we presume to deliberate or argue the functions, discoveries, aspirations, or dreams of cultures we do not belong.
The purpose of knowledge is to make our dreams come true. Each Culture of Faith has its dreams unique to its intelligence. The knowledge of a culture is subjective, which makes it unassailable. No culture however can fulfil its dreams independent of the knowledge of other cultures, which means that knowledge subjective within a culture, ultimately must become objective to be applicable.
If the citizens of a culture discover that the Earth is flat, their knowledge is subjective, useful only to the fulfilling of their dreams. If their knowledge fails to fulfil their dreams, they then need to seek an alternate shape of the Earth that will. Any knowledge they discover, being contrary to how the origin of their existence works, cannot fulfil their dreams. The failure of their dreams is proof irrefutable of their lack of knowledge of how their God works.
Dreams are prerequisites for higher intelligence. A dream reveals the truth of all knowledge in existence. Without a dream, knowledge has no purpose but entertainment; and the more fictional the knowledge, the better entertaining.
A dream is mandatory for every citizen of a utopia. A civilization that has little to no dreams or dreamers cannot achieve a utopia, likewise where those with dreams deliberately disrespect the dreams, aspirations, knowledge, or intelligence of cultures they do not belong.
The following argument, ongoing in society today, is an example of how one culture can be disrespectful of the knowledge of another culture.
The Culture of Biology has discovered and labelled the genders of animal species into two categories, namely male and female. The Culture of Sociology equally has discovered and labelled the genders of animal species, but into seventy-plus categories, namely lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender, queer, etc. Both cultures are accurate in their knowledge, however divergent their intelligence; and this is because the dreams of Biology are not the dreams of Sociology, neither of any other Culture of Faith. Each Culture has its dreams unique, also the knowledge and intelligence unique for fulfilling its dreams. Taking the knowledge of cultures out of context of their intellectual environment, to refute, challenge, debate, or question their validity, their purpose, or dream, is unintelligent, or within context of the lifestyle of a utopia, it is disrespectful, or outright hateful.
This is the lifestyle of faith. The disrespect of knowledge poisons the utopia.
In conclusion here, we must try to answer the following question. Are we intelligent enough to love?
